CHAPTER TWENTY-SIX - UMBRELLA

CHIHARU SIGHED AS KARASUNO WAS doing the penalty once more. "Go!" Daichi yelled as everyone ran up the hill. "So hot..." Tanaka groaned. "You're telling me..." Chiharu agreed. "Saying "hot" is not allowed!" Sugawara scolded the two.

"We're just stating the obvious, Suga." Chiharu dead panned at his friend.

Once they were done with their run they walk to the shade of the trees as Kiyoko and Yachi handed them their water bottles.

"Here." Yachi said as Chiharu smiled.

"Thanks, Yachi. You're a lifesaver." He told her, drinking down the cool liquid. Once they were done, they headed back into the gymnasium to play their practice match.

It was Asahi's turn to serve as he threw the ball up and did his jump serve, the ball bounced off of Konoha and Karasuno gained a point. "All right!" Karasuno cheered as Chiharu smiled, looking over to the score.

Fukurōdani

Karasuno

18

"Not bad... We're doing better than we usually do. That's a good sign." Chiharu thinks to himself, looking back at Asahi who was serving once more.

"Asahi one more!" Chiharu encouraged.

"Nice serve." Tsukishima added as he covered the back of his head when the whistle blew.

They continued to play, with Chiharu keeping an eye on the ball as it made it's way to Kageyama, Chiharu watched with a slight frown when he witnessed Kageyama set the ball to Hinata who had jumped up to spike, but the toss was too short, making Fukurōdani get the point.

"Don't worry about it!" Daichi reassured them.

"I'm sorry!" The two of them replied. Chiharu sighed and shook his head.

"Even though they haven't argued throughout the training camp, those two still haven't talked together like they used to." Chiharu thought. It was making him annoyed since he was getting used to their antics.

As Chiharu continued to watch the ball, the ball gets served out of bounds, and Chiharu widened his eyes when the ball nearly hit Yachi, who yelped and shook in place.

"Sorry!"

Hinata was quick to run over and receive the ball as he threw it back over the net for Fukurōdani.

After the Fukurōdani match, Karasuno was now up against Nekoma, everyone was sweating and panting due to the heat. Chiharu felt like he could collapse at any given moment. He kept his eyes on the ball as it goes to Karasuno's side and Chiharu quickly crouched down to save it.

"Center!" Hinata called out as Tanaka rushed over and sent the ball to Hinata.

"Hinata, get the last!" Tanaka called out, as the ball goes towards the orange-haired male, only for it to be close to the net.

"Sorry! That was close to the net!" Tanaka apologized as Hinata tried to get the ball over. Lev and Yamamoto blocked and sent the ball back to Karasuno's side and got the point. Chiharu sighed in annoyance that they lost the point, he then looked towards Hinata and gulped in concern when he saw how irritated his junior looked.
