I opened the email and turned my laptop around.



"An email?", Coach Ukai questioned out aloud.

"What exactly is this?", Daichi asked, taken aback by the strange contents of the email.

"Ehhh, I can't read this at all...", Yamaguchi murmured.

"OH! I can read 'left' and 'right'!", Hinata exclaimed proudly, pointing at the screen.

"Wow, congratulations. You have the reading capability of a grade 1 student", Tsukishima sneered and rolled his eyes.

"WHa- y-you wanna fight, bastard?", Hinata tried to intimidate Tsukishima, switching to a fighting stance.

"Good job Hinata! Just like I taught you!", Tanaka folded his arms and let out a triumphant breath.

"What have you been teaching him?!", Sugawara exclaimed, glaring at Tanaka.

"Hmm, what did you call me before? Oh right a 'baguette'", Tsukishima recalled, "Pfft, you're picking a fight with some bread? Are you okay?", he continued to aggravate Hinata.


Though the scene was pretty amusing, I decided that this would have to wait for another time.


"Hate to interrupt, but would everyone mind if I continued?", I intercepted the banter between the two.

"You can just continue. These two are giving me a headache", Coach Ukai rubbed his temples.

"Right... So back to what I wanted to talk about, this email I'm showing you guys right now is something I received last night"

"It is indeed strange... but it looks like some sort of spam email", Asahi noted, trying to decipher the meaning of its contents.

"That's what I thought too", I sighed, "However, it wasn't sent to my spam folder, but rather, my primary one"

"Are you sure they didn't send some virus with that thing?!", Nishinoya panicked.

"No, it's fine. If it was a virus, I would've easily removed it, but it seems that this jumble of letters and numbers were the only thing they've sent"


"You know, this whole thing might not even be worth fussing over", Tsukishima interrupted.

"What do you mean, Tsukki?", Yamaguchi questioned.

"Seriously, just think about it. How many weird emails like random adverts or stuff just pop into your email folder?", he scoffed before continuing, "You get one strange email and you think it's something devastating"

"Goddammit, I knew he would make it out to be something minor"

"He kinda has a point, Lily", Coach Ukai agreed, "You sure you're not getting worried over nothing?"

"...I guess it does sound stupid", I spoke quietly, "But there's just something about it that just bothers me", I turned to face my laptop.

"Well, it doesn't matter if it turns out to be minor as long as you get it off your shoulders", Sugawara reassured me and wore a big smile, "You can always tell us"

I stood there silently, staring at him with a slightly shocked expression on my face.

"Thank you, Koushi", I managed to utter, and returned a small smile after a brief period of silence.


"From what I can see...", Daichi spoke up, and all eyes shifted toward him, "There seems to be three main areas to focus on in this email"

"Which three?", Hinata asked and squinted his eyes onto the screen on the laptop.
