"THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!"

Kuroo and the rest of the Nekoma players bowed to Ayame as thanks for being their (temporary) manager.

"Sure, it's my pleasure" she smiled "I had fun with you guys, being your manager and all. So, thank you as well"

"She's like an angel~!! So cute~!!" Inouka, Shibayama and Lev thought with a blush on their cheeks.

"We've been blessed~" Yamamoto dreamily sighed once again.

"She should've joined us instead..." Kenma, Yaku and Kuroo thought.

"Thanks for being our manager, Ayame" Naoi shook hands with her "It's a big help you're here"

"A VERY big help, indeed" Coach Nekomata laughed "Our team played even better when you're here cheering them"

"Yes!! I feel like I could spike much better when Ayame-san's here!!" Lev exclaimed with sparkly eyes.

"No one is asking for your opinion" Kenma told him.

"But, Kenma, you're sets are much better and you're complaining less when Ayame is here" Kuroo smirked "And you have that happy look on your face when she complimented you"

The setter flinched and looked away, muttering "I'm not"

"Kuroo was even more provocative than usual" Yaku said "His total service ace today is six, too. Trying to show off now, aren't we?"

"Well~, let's just say I'm in my good mood~" the captain nonchalantly replied "More likely, everyone's showing off"

The players flinched at what he said. Question marks danced on Ayame's head.

"Shibayama cleanly received Bokuto's spikes earlier many times. Inouka was moving faster than usual and his blocks managed to shut down some ace spikers. Lev was miraculously not having plenty of mistakes in serve and receives. Yamamoto was a cannon today. Fukunaga was happy as a clam while spiking past blockers. Kenma was complaining less and he's doing tiring sets that he would never usually do. Kai's receives are solid as ever and Yaku wasn't showing any tiredness while chasing blocked out balls" he explained "Now, who's showing off here?"

They stared at him before looking away, their faces slightly red.

"You've been watching them, huh, Kuroo?" the younger coach sighed.

"Isn't that a good thing? Everyone is doing their best in the game!!" she exclaimed.

"How pure and innocent..." Yaku thought "She didn't even realize that it's all about her..."

"Anyway, I'll be going to my own team. I'm sure Daichi-nii's worried about me" she waved her hand "Bye, everyone! Thanks again!"

Their faces looked like they wanted her stay as their manager forever but they let her go before Karasuno starts murdering them.

"Hmm...maybe we should bet with Sawamura-kun that Ayame gets to be our manager if we win" the captain suggested.

"Don't. The guys will murder us if you do that" Yaku sweat dropped as he imagined what might happen.

Ayame ran to where Daichi and the others are practicing. They were sweating and panting a lot after a whole day doing their penalty, which was doubled because of their tardiness, but they kept on doing their extra practices.
