"プレイ日付"
[ 𝐏𝐋𝐀𝐘 𝐃𝐀𝐓𝐄]
Two words that describe Hirai Chino's volleyball matches and lessons with her friends

" 𝑾𝒉𝒆𝒏 𝒘𝒊𝒍𝒍 𝒃𝒆 𝒐𝒖𝒓 𝒏𝒆𝒙𝒕 𝒑𝒍𝒂𝒚 𝒅𝒂𝒕𝒆 𝒏𝒐𝒏𝒐-𝒔𝒆𝒏𝒔𝒆𝒊 ?"
A young boy asked.

" 𝑺𝒐𝒐𝒏. "
The little girl answered,
with a smile in her face.

A real smile for a friend.

" This school's team is never making to the nationals ", It was the least insulting sentence I could try to make up.

" 𝗔𝗿𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗶𝗻𝘀𝘂𝗹𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗺 𝗶𝗻 𝗝𝗮𝗽𝗮𝗻𝗲𝘀𝗲 ? ", my friend, Chloe asked with a curious face.

" 𝗜'𝗺 𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝗶𝗻𝘀𝘂𝗹𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗺, 𝗜'𝗺 𝗱𝗲𝘀𝗰𝗿𝗶𝗯𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗺 ", I answered her back with a fake smile across my face.

" 𝗜 𝘄𝗼𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗿 𝘄𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗝𝗮𝗽𝗮𝗻𝗲𝘀𝗲 𝘀𝗰𝗵𝗼𝗼𝗹 𝗶𝘀 𝗴𝗼𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗼 𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝘀𝗰𝗵𝗼𝗼𝗹 ? "

I also wondered.
It's a japanese volleyball team we are talking about.
And the team is coming to our school.
This feeling I have right now.
I never felt it for a long time.
It's called,

" Singapore huh ? ", Kuroo asked.

" Yep, we are going to an overseas trip to Singapore to play a practice game. ", coach Nekomata answered.

" Even the other schools are attending this overseas trip but we are competing in one school for each team. ", added by Yaku

" Singapo-" Kenma's mind immediately remembered where his childhood crush went to high school.

His head turned to Kuroo, who nodded back to him.

Both of them actually shared that same childhood crush.

And they remembered that moment where they last saw her.

Just as Chino was about to leave Japan to study in Singapore,
she, Kenma and Kuroo had their last talk before she leaves.
Small drops of tears were flooding in their eyes.
The only girl in the trio was about to leave.
It was normal to be sad.
Especially if the girl was your childhood crush and the reason why you are playing volleyball.
Not only that, but also your teacher in that sport.

" When is our next play date nono-sensei ? " asked Kenma, the shy boy who she always play video games with.

" Soon. " answered Chino.
A smile could be seen across her face.
A rare expression she does.

" That smile. At a time like this ? " Kuroo questioned, secretly admiring her precious smile.

" CHINOOO- it's time to board the airplane! Faster! ", shouted Chino's mom.

"Haiiii, you might never see this smile for a long Kenma-san and Kuroo-san, soon, you might also meet my other 'students'. " Chino said as her smile faded.

The two boys hugged her for the last time.
Then she left.
