Day 9, Tuesday

They should all be back in a few minutes.

Hideko moved fast, cleaning up the kitchen after making breakfast and snacks for the day.

I'll need to tell the women who works here that I won't be able to help as much in the meantime. Hideko sighed.

And the coaches... She groaned in annoyance.

"This sucks." Hideko said as she went in the bathroom to take a quick shower.

"Looks like chibi-chan is in a bad mood." Yahaba said to Kyotani.

"Aren't we all?" Kyotani chuckled, shaking his head side to side.

Date Tech who was walking behind them overheard the conversation between the Seijoh members.

"Shorty having a short temper. Nothing to be surprised about." Futakuchi snickered beside Aone.

"She's probably overwhelmed. I kind of feel bad." Sakunami said rubbing the back of his neck.

"You know what they say, if you can't handle it, get lost. Shorty should have expected this. She's a manager for crying out loud." Futakuchi continued.

"She's doing more than what's expected of her-" Sakunami replied.

"Then maybe she should just focus on her duties as Karasuno's manager. Maybe then, she wouldn't be in the verge of collapsing. She's short, short-tempered and short-sighted." Futakuchi cut him off.

"Collapsing?" Koganegawa asked with a confused look.

"Be thankful she's even helping all of us. Be mindful of what you say." Moniwa said as he turns to give them a pointed look.

"Oh come on. Don't tell me she's also a fragile little snowflake." Futakuchi smirked, raising a brow at his captain.

"Snowflake! I love it! It fits her." Koganegawa yelled over the voices, gaining everyone's attention.

"Hey look, even the idiot agrees." Futakuchi pointed at Koganegawa using his thumb, laughing.

"Yeah. No question about it. She's cute. I can't deny that." Koganegawa shrugged his shoulders with a grin.

Uh...

The boys stopped walking as they focused their attention on Koganegawa who crossed his hands behind his head, walking ahead of them.

"What just happened?" Moniwa looked around his friends.

"Idiot." Futakuchi grumbled under his breath."

"Talking about yourself?" Aone said, surprising everyone, as he walks ahead, catching up with Koganegawa.

"Again, what just happened?" Moniwa asked his friends once more.

"Sit down." Hideko looked up from her crouching position, out of breath to see Aone.

"Hey, Aone. What brings you here?" Hideko said after taking a deep breath to calm herself.

"Sit down." Aone repeated.

"What?"

Aone leaned his head to his side.

"Sit down."

Uh... Hideko looked at him, waiting for him to continue when he didn't say anything else she sat down on one of the benches in the cafeteria.

"Stay here." Aone said as he entered the kitchen leaving her alone.

What is he doing here? Why is he alone. Is he lost? Wait, that's ridiculous. Who gets lost in the cafeteria? Hideko's thought were cut short when she heard something fall from inside the kitchen.
