Reincarnated In Another World As A World-class Volleyball Player

Chapter Twelve

The match between you and Akagi lasted for about half an hour, it wasn't anything extreme given the moves you could do was limited- one of the disadvantages with a 1v1 match. Akagi used his speed and agility to receive almost every one of your spikes while you continued to find his blind spots, sending the ball in that area so he'd struggle to catch up.

He was scowling at you slightly, sweat trickling down his skin as he used his shirt to wipe it off. You were also breathing heavily, hands on your knees as you waited for him to serve the ball. You were ready to move the instant he sent the ball flying in your direction, your eyes narrowed as you exhaled shakily. Once Akagi threw it in the air so he could serve, you immediately positioned yourself to receive the ball. Colliding roughly with your forearms, it was sent back to Akagi who was barely able to keep it in the air with a dig.

Akagi was still crouching, waiting for you to send the ball back to him but you only grinned slyly as you performed a feint. His eyes were wide for a moment as he quickly scrambled to save the ball but his hopes were crushed when the volleyball touched the ground and bounced for a few times. His shoulders dropped before he pointed accusingly at you, brows furrowed as he furiously shouted at how underhanded you acted.

"That was unfair! That wasn't fair at all, onee-chan! What was that anyways?!"

He shouted, turning on his heel as he stomped back to Terushima who was waiting for the match to finish with change of clothes for you and Akagi. Your only response to his little tantrum was laughter before you jogged up to him to comfort him, even planning to give him some Pocky if that was what it took to calm him down.

"Neko-chaaan, come on, you need to calm down! I don't even want your chocolates!"

You said, hugging him from behind as he ignored you, crossing his arms against his chest. Terushima was laughing slightly at the two of you while Watanabe suppressed hers so she wouldn't choke on the potato chips she had taken from the duffle bag of snacks. After a few more moments of your constant pleas, Akagi finally turned around and hugged you back as you grinned in return, genuinely enjoying how sweet he was acting.

"Awe, it's okay~ you don't have to cry, neko-chan!"

"I'm not crying!"

After your little showcase about sibling love, Terushima and Watanabe quickly guided the two of you to the spare rooms where your bags were to change since your shirts were basically drenched with sweat. Watanabe had changed you in a black shirt with sleeves that reached your wrist but she decided to neatly fold it so it only reached your elbows. She took it upon herself to also change your black leggings since it was also dirtied from the match, she switched it for a soft gray skirt that ended at your knees, she also used a black silk as a centerpiece, somewhat. She tried it around your waist and switched your footwear for something much more formal, black shoes that made it look like you were going to attend an important school-related event.

You didn't really mind though, your grandparents always closed the onsen early to go eat out at a fancy restaurant whenever your family visited, saying it was "a momentous occasion" which you didn't completely agree with but decided to just accept.

Once you exited the spare room, you were met with a sight that would never fail to amuse you no matter how much you witnessed it. Akagi usually dressed properly like you when going out but it constantly entertained you to see your younger brother dressed so neatly- you expected nothing less from Terushima.

He wore a white undershirt that reached his wrists, on top of that he had a navy blue vest that hugged his figure slightly, his pants was also the same color as his vest and you had to say that it looked cool on him, his footwear was a pair of shiny brown shoes that you never saw before till now. Though the entirety of his outfit was incredible, thehe cherry on the cake was the navy blue coat he donned that made him look more of an adorable cinnamon roll than he already was.
