"Haikyuu: A Twin's Choice"

10.5- The Twin's Choice

Sora's POV

It's been a whole week since I won the Tennis Tournament for Juniors, and right now, I'm just relaxing on the couch in the living room.

Yesterday, I received a sports scholarship from the principal of Shiratorizawa Academy. He recognized my talent and offered me high-quality tennis facilities.

Shiratorizawa is a private high school and you can either enter through the entrance exam, which is extremely difficult, or through sports scholarships.

I told Mom, Natsu, and Shoyo about the scholarship, and they were happy for me. Though, I could see Shoyo's eyes were a little sad.

I had mixed feelings about it. It made me happy thinking about the cool tennis facilities I could use, but also sad that I wouldn't be able to join Shoyo at Karasuno if I took the scholarship.

I know Shoyo can take care of himself, but I still can't help but feel worried for him. I guess this is natural for me as a brother. There's also the fact that I won't be able to see the other members of the Karasuno volleyball club.

That's not all, my passion for volleyball came back.

Should I follow my passion for volleyball again, or become a professional tennis player just like in my previous life?

I let out a big sigh, "Haa!" This decision is seriously tough.

"Aniki!" Suddenly, Natsu appeared from behind the couch and flopped right onto my belly.

"Ouch!" I grunted as Natsu landed on me.

Natsu then grinned mischievously at me. "Gotcha!"

I couldn't help but smile and playfully messed up her hair, saying, "You little rascal!"

"Hehehe!" Natsu giggled.

After playfully messing up her hair, Natsu suddenly asked, "Aniki, why did you sigh so loudly?"

I couldn't help but smile at Natsu's concern. "Oh, it's nothing, I'm just thinking about something."

Natsu tilted her head cutely. "Thinking?"

Even though Natsu was worried, I knew I couldn't share all the details with her. I didn't want her to worry too much.

"Well... ever since I got a scholarship to Shiratorizawa, I've been unsure about whether to go to Shiratorizawa or stick with Karasuno," I explained.

"Is this about Shoyo-nii?" Natsu guessed.

I was surprised she figured it out despite me holding back some information.

I let out a relieved sigh. "Yeah, how did you know?"

"Well, most people would jump at the chance to go to Shiratorizawa with a scholarship," Natsu replied, "And considering Shoyo-nii's dream is to be at Karasuno, it's clear that you're worried about his well-being."

I was amazed at how she almost pieced it all together. My little sister is quite the clever one.

I patted her head affectionately. "You're a little genius, you know that?"

"Hehehe!" Natsu giggled. "Aniki, if you're worried, you should talk to Shoyo-nii!"

I softy smiled, "Yeah, you're right."

==========================

I then made my way to the front yard and saw Shoyo, deeply focused on practicing his setting technique in volleyball. His determination was clear as he repeatedly worked on his moves.

I then started walking toward him, "Sho!"

Shoyo stopped what he was doing and turned to me, "Aniki?"
