Tsukishima Kei's POV

"Here you go, you two," [Surname] said as she handed both Yamaguchi and me a bottle.

"Thank you, [Surname]-chan!" Yamaguchi said, smiling at her.

She smiled at him before looking at me— probably expecting a thank you from me as well. I only blinked at her before grabbing the bottle from her hand.

"H-Hey, Tsukki!" [Surname] said. "Where's my thank you?"

"I don't know. Why not go look for it if it's missing," I said, smirking.

"Tsukki meanie!"

After refreshing ourselves, everyone did some practice stretching to cool down our muscles.

The door slid open, catching all of our attention and putting it on Takeda-sensei who fell soon after he opened it.

"Sensei?" Hinata said.

"Take-chan?" Coach Ukai said. "You okay?"

Takeda-sensei lifted his head— with his nose bleeding— and said, "W-We're going, right?"

"Where?" Hinata asked.

"Your nose is bleeding!" King pointed out.

Takeda-sensei, however, didn't seem to mind at the moment. He only adjusted his glasses— which were surprisingly okay despite falling on it— and said, "Tokyo!"

Everyone seemed to be surprised about that. The first to react was the shrimp who only repeated the place that sensei said.

"Tokyo?" Hinata repeated for the second time. A smile appeared on his face before he continuing. "You mean Nekoma?!"

"A practice match?" King asked.

"Yeah!" Takeda-sensei said, wiping his nose. "But it won't just be Nekoma this time. The Fukurodani Academy Group. It's a group of schools from the Kanto region that includes Nekoma. Apparently, they hold practice matches all the time. This time, because of Coach Nekomata, Karasuno will also be able to participate in their practice matches."

Both Noya-san and Tanaka-san reacted with amaze when they heard about the details.

"Groups like that are created through relationship built over years, so it's not easy to get in without connections. We've got to make sure to thank Coach Nekomata," Coach Ukai said. He placed his hands on his hips as he faced us and said, "And Sensei, too, who I'm sure kept persistently asking him."

"No, I didn't, really. Your name helped a lot, Coach Ukai," Takeda-sensei said.

"Thank you!" shouted the whole team as we bowed to our sensei.

"Over the years, we've lost our connections with other schools in the prefecture that we were once close with. There are many schools where the coaches that were once close to the former Coach Ukai are now gone. We shouldn't miss this chance!"

"Yeah!" Suga-san shouted along with the other members.

"I'm going to be able to see that set up in person again," King said with a grin.
