Futago
Ogata Jun's.

Hotaru did a jump service that was no less harsh with Atsushi making the coach carve a smile on his lips. Nagata managed to catapult Hotaru service which was welcomed by Atsushi, Atsushi gave tos/accurate bait to Nagata. The third-grade couple was moving very dynamically.

BRAK!.

Nagata's hard spikes in the Hotaru block easily.

Heee .., good enough, Fumio said in his heart.

Atsushi saves the ball, Nagata nimbly chases the ball preparing to give tos to his partner. Hotaru who saw it move to the back of her eyes was very focused on reading the opponent's movements and the ball.

He thought it impossible to block Atsushi directly with his low ability as it is now so Hotaru decided to accept Atsushi's spike.

Atsushi jumped making it look like he was flying through the air, his hand moving towards the ball.

TUBS.

THE DUG!.

Hotaru catapulted Atsushi's spike, Atsushi stared intently at Hotaru.

Hotaru moves to the right she bends her knees about to jump, Nagata and Atsushi do not stay still he follows the movement of Hotaru intend to block his spike but, something surprises Hotaru. He immediately stopped his intention to jump and turned his running foot towards the other side of the field.

What are you doing slug snail squinty!, shouted Hotaru chasing after the soaring ball. Shit I won't have time, inner Hotaru. Suddenly Hotaru made a sideways jump and grabbed the ball smashing it quickly.

Bugs. Bugs. Bugs.

The ball just came in.

Puk. Hotaru landed smoothly with one leg, she turned her head slowly to Jun.

"So what was it?." Hotaru asked calmly.

Hotaru was very surprised, not only him but the other club members were no less surprised, although their shock was different.

"Leap of ape." Jun replied casually on continue with his mouth back yawning.

Hotaru was made dumbfounded by Jun's reply.

Nagata approached the still-bullish Hotaru.

"You've upset Jun Hachi kun." Lirih Nagata on the net.

"Is he upset like that?." Hotaru approached Nagata.

"Yes, it could be even worse, no one would be strong to face Jun if he was upset." Nagata.

"Did anyone ever upset her before?." Nagata nodded his head slightly pointing at the person behind him.

"Atsushi once upset Jun and he was actually made into a jumping circus in a friendly last week. Jun didn't really give his tos to Atsushi." Hotaru nodded her head.

"It's a secret, Atsushi would kill me if I knew I was telling you this." Nagata Imbuh.

"I'll keep my mouth shut, but senpai." Hotaru.

"What?." Nagata and Hotaru's manic meet.

"Since yesterday something's been troubling my mind." Nagata waited for Hotaru to finish her sentence.

"Did the slug snail never jump?, was there glue in his shoes?." Nagata covered his mouth with one hand, holding his laughter from coming out.

"Since sd Jun will jump if he wants to jump, no one can force him to jump." Nagata.

"He's been playing volleyball since sd?." Hotaru surprised.

"She's my cousin. We've always been one school, whereas many great schools wanted to recruit Jun but Jun got in here." Hotaru recalled the memories of the time when Yuki was angry because they were not a single class.

"I seem to understand what a slug thinks." Hotaru said there was a hint of sadness in her voice.

"Nagata! Hotaru! when are you going to talk there!." The coach's shout instantly made the two men move backwards.

"Nususus ..! (Sorry ..!)." Shouted both.

Hotaru returned to serve, Nagata gave a hard spike after receiving a tos from Atsushi, Hotaru closed the direction of the spike that Nagata aimed at Jun.

Tubs.

Dugs. Dugs. Dugs.

Hotaru looked at Jun who let the ball in just like that without any intention of saving her.

On the sidelines Yuto and the others noticed the match.

"I still can't believe Senpai's friend could have grabbed an impossible ball from Jun." Chirps Yuto.

"Hm?, that's nothing." Fumio's reply made Yuto and Kobayashi interested in the conversation.

"Is there something Hachibara is hiding?." Kobayashi was very curious, since the first time he saw the man surnamed Hachibara he had a very different aura, like there is an attraction that makes him want to know and befriend the charismatic man.

Fumio pointed forward.

"See." Her speech.

Kobayashi and Yuto looked forward to seeing Hotaru who was staring at Jun step steadily towards the setter.

"Are they going to fight?." Chirper Yuto is worried.

"Look at me." Reply Fumio.

Hotaru stared firmly at Jun's bead making the man feel annoyed, Hotaru approached Jun who was still silent in place.

"What's wrong?, did I say. I don't like to move around a lot." Jun spoke as Hotaru got closer to him.

Hotaru raised her right hand making Jun reflex retreat.

"Aarrgghh ..." Ogre Jun.

"Even your screams are very small hm ..." Ledek Hotaru, he pinched Jun's cheek in a fit of anxiety.

"The one standing on the field isn't just a squinty slug setter, the setter is useless if there aren't any other players." Hotaru lirih. Jun stared at Hotaru's bead which focused on staring at her cheek.

"Acharmed by my words slug snail, hm ..." Hotaru's fingers are increasingly playing on Jun's cheeks.

"Argh let go, it's a violation." Jun's protest.

Hotaru stopped her attack returning Jun's gaze.

"I'll let myself play with you for ten minutes after that you're the one who should play with me, understand?." Hotaru scrambled Jun's brown mane gently.

Jun stared intently at Hotaru who was ignored by the man.

"It seems nice to have a younger brother." Hotaru's chirp as it passed Jun made Jun look at her even more sharply.

Sure enough Hotaru is made like a monkey that jumps up here and there chasing a ball that soars in the air. Tipping over, front rollers back rollers, running, sliding forward sideways, just to save the ball from touching the floor, even a few times Hotaru performed acrobatic stunts making it more and more like a circus animal.

Activity on the other field had stopped since, the members stood watching a rare match action on the field beside them. They were astonished and pityed the newly joined child.

Hotaru stood up straight after Nagata earned the points.

PROOKK !!!.

The sound of Hotaru's clapping echoed inside the gor. His sweaty face and wet back clothes did not show that the man was exhausted. Her lips were drawn to form a charming wide smile.

"Ten minutes are up." Hotaru's voice sounded very clear because of the silent gor.

"Now it's your turn to play with the slender snail." Jun threw away his face indifferently.

Everyone was confused by what Hotaru said but not by the two smiling men staring at the bright brown man.

Hotaru is Hotaru, you are the rule, inner Fumio.

The young master has not changed at all, the great master is very apt to choose you. And now that I miss ojou chan, how much longer should I wait for you ojou chan, hurry back, Yamazaki said in his heart.

Nagata served, Hotaru was ready to wait for the ball with both feet bent lower.

Dugs.

Atsushi captures Hotaru's movement moving backwards as if ready with his hard spike making Atsushi get another idea to make Hotaru run forward.

Atsushi did not do a hard spike on the ball of responsibility that he did a trick to the net. Atsushi pulled one corner of his lips glancing at Hotaru up ahead there.

What?!, why did he move to the left side of the field?, Atsushi's mind looked for the ball he dropped earlier.

Jun is surprised by Atsushi's sudden trick shot, even though his senpai (senior) is not the type of player who likes to do tricks. Jun who was always in the front row of the net reflexively reached out his hand to save the ball.

The ball bounces to the left of the field.

Shit, Jun Inner.

"Snail sipiiiittt ..!." Hotaru's shout surprised Jun.

The man ran after the ball, his eyes focused on what he was chasing but his finger pointed at Jun.

Hotaru stopped her feet just below her handball outstretched upwards.

Sseettt ...

Jun doesn't know what the reason is being fascinated with the tos/bait that Hotaru did for him but Hotaru's tos bewitches her body to move.

Jun shifted his right foot slightly and jumped small, no need for a big jump no need for a quick movement of his ball right over the net but also not too close to the net, the height that Jun loved so much and there had never been anyone who could give him a tos like this.

Atsushi who saw it did not stay silent he immediately jumped to block Jun's punch. Jun's left hand welcomes the ball then hits it down diagonally, a very thin blow on the opponent's net side.

Jun stared at the ball that fell smoothly across the net.

"When do you look at that round ball?." Hotaru's voice distracts Jun.

Hotaru who was halfway up to her junior raised a single hand of code to do high five while smiling knot.

Prok !!.

"Nice kill." Hotaru glanced down, her junior eight inches shorter than her.

"I did the spike." Ogre Jun, his narrowed eyes slightly opened.

"Of course." Reply Hotaru.

"The ball is right above me." Hotaru couldn't help but feel anxious to see Jun's excited expression as both of her hands landed on Jun's cheeks.

"Honey hm .., how would you like to do it again ..?." Jun nodded his head hearing Hotaru's offer, the sensation as he hit the ball was still very pronounced in his hands.

"Now that you've seen, it's not just you who can give a genius pass on this team." Jun who heard Hotaru's statement immediately let go of the man's hand violently from his cheek.

The two of them threw one another a gaze, Hotaru stared at Jun's bead calmly while her junior's eyes seemed to be emitting a red laser.

"Setter does not want to move much to chase the ball it does not matter, because the other members will connect it back to the setter but .., Setter also needs to save the ball for the team to get points and get a win together."

All stunned, all this time no one had ever dared to reprimand Jun. At the time Jun had not officially become a student of the school, he had been actively practicing with the club members, the coach and Nagata as Jun's cousin were reluctant to reprimand the man because if Jun was upset the team would be hassled. Atsushi who once upset Jun was not able to serve the child, Atsushi tried to continue to be patient because the coach asked for it. But the new boy calmly but firmly pressed Jun on the field, lecturing the boy.

"If you get upset vent to your opponent and earn points, there is no point in making the members themselves miserable. If your ego is still high, there's a field next to where you can play alone, I'll take your place." Jun held back his emotions.

"Hachibara senpai was scolding Jun but her voice and eyes looked soft, like my mother's trying to make me stop crying as a child." Fumio smiled at Yuto's comment.

That is the power of Hotaru, the genius who can move the heart of others, the inner Fumio.

"Ego is hard to get rid of but what if you shift your ego a little bit, filling the empty space with the togetherness of the other team members." Jun frowned.

"No need to do a lot of activities, no need to talk a lot. Just look at them for a moment, look at those who are fighting on the same line as you, and be present among them." Hotaru walks past Jun and suddenly throws the ball behind the boy's head.

With a slow motion Jun dodged and caught the ball with one of his hands turned his body staring at the confused Hotaru.

"Like you feel that ball." Jun was getting confused.

"It's quiet, but you can feel it, they'll come to their senses if you're not among them. Like the bait, no big jumps no quick moves, just be yourself." Hotaru raised both eyebrows.

"Is there anything you want to protest?." Hotaru asked looking at Jun's expression which was like he wanted to say something.

Jun opened his mouth but no sound came out, he closed his mouth again.

I can't accept you lecturing me, but why can't I get mad at you, everything you say just goes in my ear, that's what I want to say, inner Jun without him noticing he bit his lips hard.

Puk.

Hotaru's huge palm landed on Jun's head stopping Nagata's hasty steps toward his cousin.

"You look a lot like someone I know very well, he too has been drowning in grief for too long." Jun looked up at Hotaru's face, Hotaru smiled gently.

"He's not selfish but stubborn." Hotaru Imbuh.

"Did you also treat her like a child?" Jun's voice finally came out as well. Nagata who was already standing in front of the net breathed a sigh of relief.

"Forget, he's so spoiled." Jun frowned hearing Hotaru's reply.

"It must be terrible." Jun's chirps made Hotaru laugh.

"I know what you think of a slug slug, but he's not a man he's a woman hahaha." Hotaru increasingly laughed at Jun's expression which meant that his guess was correct.

"He's your girlfriend." Hotaru shook her head slowly as she tried to control herself back.

Seeing the tension on the ground was gone Hara took the initiative to take action.

"Captain! the game is over, change of players!." Hara shouted from the sidelines.

"Good!." Answer Nagata.

"Wait!." Hotaru was surprised to stare at the man beside her.

"You can scream slug?." Lirih Hotaru was in disbelief, Jun ignored Hotaru just like that.

"The coach let us fight in fifteen minutes." Pinta Jun's. Hotaru thought quickly, she circulated a gaze staring at every expression of the other members.

They stared confusedly at the slug snail as if they did not believe the slender slug's speech, the inner Hotaru increasingly thought the reason behind the request of the setter.

"Sorry coach, please change me." Hotaru's sentence surprised Jun. Hotaru saw Jun's reaction from the tail of her eyes.

"Senpai must fight again." Jun said.

"Heee .., senpai ..?." Hotaru's accidentally mocked Jun. An annoyed Jun threw away his face.

"Agh my body seems to crumble after becoming your partner a slender snail." Hotaru said as she stepped out of the field.

The coach smiled at Hotaru's behavior and he did not mind the new boy's attitude, as Hotaru seemed able to bring better changes to his team.

"Pay." Hotaru stopped, glancing at Jun behind her.

"Give me tos (bait) again." Pinta Jun with a stiff face.

"No way." Hotaru replied, Jun slightly widened his eyes.

"Maybe if you apologize to Atsushi senpai I could change my mind." Hotaru muttered deliberately made for Jun to hear it.

With a small but definite movement Jun approached Atsushi and said something, the low volume of the voice made others unable to hear what Jun said. Atsushi looked surprised and scratched the back of his head.

Soon, Jun returns to Hotaru.

"It." Her speech.

"Have you?, are you sure?." Jun stared lazily at Hotaru, reminding Yuki of Fathur's gaze.

"What can be done." Hotaru said back to walking to the middle of the field.

"Hotaru kun come here!." Hara Seru.

"Zen! you're replacing Hotaru." Coach's word.

"Good." Answer Zen.

"Sorry slug, you're out of luck." Hotaru rattled Jun's mane before leaving to approach the coach.

"Dam." Grumpy Jun.
