Chapter 35: Pocky

"Go, go, let's go! Let's go, Date Tech!!"

"Go, go, go, go, go, go, Seijoh!!"

"Shi~ratorizawa!!"

"Finally, I get to watch a real competition on the side court!!" Ayame grinned, her eyes sparkling brightly "Uwaah~! It's so loud!! So many people are watching!! I could feel my insides twisting themselves!!"

"Ayame, are you all right?" Coach Ukai asked her "Are you nervous? It's your first time, after all"

"Yes! I'm so nervous!!" she excitingly said, jumping up and down.

"Well, I guess we're good then" their coach grinned "Tokonami High is our first opponent. They're seriously fired up"

"Right" she nodded, looking at the certain hyperactive players "I hope they don't mess up due to excitement. I pity nii-chan. He'll have to control them as the captain"

"Everyone, congratulations!!" Ayame greeted them on their first victory.

"OSU!!"

"Hey, listen, your opponents next are Date Tech, obviously" Coach Ukai told them "All of you, rest up! The match starts at 1:30 p.m., make sure you have a light lunch"

"RIGHT!!"

After their lunch and a short break, Karasuno proceeded on the next court and started practicing receives. "Everyone seems tense", Ayame thought, "Is it because they're facing Date Tech again, especially after what happened to Asahi-san?" Once it was Nishinoya's turn, Ayame whispered at the Coach Ukai's ear.

"Aim on the most left side"

The coach nodded and did as he was told. Nishinoya dived for it and shouted "Rolling...Thunder!! Again!!"

The ball was perfectly caught by Ayame and everyone stared at him. The libero stood proudly "That was perfect"

"Noya-san, nice receive" Tanaka told him, stifling a laugh "That was perfection itself! Except for the name..."

"The name was perfect, too!!" he answered defensively.

"Teach me! Teach me the Again version, too!" Hinata asked him, starry eyed.

Coach Ukai and Mr. Takeda stared at the libero before smiling at his confidence. Ayame smiled lightly and gave him a thumbs up "Great receive, Yuu-senpai"

"All right! There's nothing to worry about!" Nishinoya told them "All of you, keep your eyes forward! Because you have me guarding your backs!"

The tense atmosphere changed as soon the Guardian Deity said those words and it made the whole team feel better and more confident.

"A-Awesome!!" Kageyama, Hinata, and Tanaka said.

"Wow, he restored their confidence!" Mr. Takeda noted.

"Yeah" Coach Ukai said, smiling "He's a truly outstanding libero"

"Everyone, do your best!" Ayame told them, smiling brightly "Yuu-senpai, your charisma and confidence is amazing. Thank you for restoring their confidence! You're an amazing libero and senpai! As expected from a Guardian Deity!" she told the libero while patting his head.

Nishinoya's face reddened and he grinned widely "ALL RIGHT!! I'M FIRED UP!!!"
