Chapter 98: Haikyuu/Volleyball

"Uwaaa... it's finally done~!" Yamaguchi leaned back on his chair and stretched his arms after finishing his report.

"Good job for today, Yamaguchi" his officemate tapped his back "Want to eat in the cafeteria with us?"

"Sure. Thank you, senpai."

He looked down below his desk to pick up his bento but he was surprised to find nothing. Confused, he searched again. Then, he recalled that he somehow forgot his bento on his way out from the apartment in a hurry.

"I guess I'll just have to buy a couple of rice balls... I'm sorry, Aya-chan..."

"Oi, you okay?" his senpai waved a hand in front of his face when he noticed his gloomy aura.

He was walking with his officemates dejectedly when he saw a familiar brown haired figure ahead. He didn't need to guess who it was since he knew it was her the moment he saw those violet eyes.

"Taa-kun!" Ayame called out to him.

"Aya-chan? What brings you here?" Yamaguchi went to her "Aren't you supposed to go training at this time?"

"Ah, I'll be on my way after dropping by" she replied with a smile before holding a bento wrapped in forest green cloth adorned with star designs "You forgot your bento on your way out"

Heat rushed to his cheeks as he lowered his head in embarrassment and guilt "I'm sorry..."

She raised her heels and patted his head "It's okay. You were in a rush earlier so I understand. Make sure you eat properly, okay?"

"Yeah. I will" he smiled as he accepted his forgotten bento "You, as well. Yaku-san told me that you are skipping your lunch"

She flinched when he found out.

"Hehehehe..." she rubbed her head sheepishly "I'm sorry. You know that once my mind is rolling with plans, I can't help but be engrossed and forget eating..."

"I know but I can't help but worry, okay?" he placed his hands on her cheeks and squished it in worry and affection that she giggled "Just eat whenever you can"

"I will" she gave his cheek a kiss and smiled "Good luck with your work, Taa-kun"

"Mhmm. Good luck with the training as well" he waved his hand as she left. He hugged the bento and mentally cried in gratitude and relief. When he turned around, he was all smiles and the happy aura he emits is really obvious.

"Sorry for the wait, senpai" he says while facing his office mates, who sweat dropped at the sudden change of his personality.

Even while eating, he was still smiling.

"Mhmm~! Aya-chan's cooking really is the best!!"

"He looks really happy" his senpai whispered to his fellow co-worker.

"Really, really happy" he nodded in agreement.

"Say, Yamaguchi-kun" his co-worker named Adachi started "Wasn't that girl earlier a sports trainer?"

"Hm? Ah, yeah. Aya-chan's part of Japan's national volleyball team" he replied "Uwaaah... I'm surprised Adachi-kun can tell..."

"Eh?! Ah! No wonder she seems familiar!" he grinned before scrolling through his phone "She's Mizuki Ayame-san, right?!"
