Tetsuro Kuroo
Man, it’s really nice playing with different players than usual, it makes for a different kind of thrill!
Protagonist
Same here! It was really fun!
Morisuke Yaku
Just switching out one player makes for a pretty different team, huh.
Tobio Kageyama
…That’s true… If even just one person is different the variety of attack also changes…
Kenma Kozume
That’s kind of a pain…
Taketora Yamamoto
Now that you mention it, I feel like Karasuno might have been even tougher than usual today.
Ryunosuke Tanaka
Karasuno vs Nekoma, next time we won’t lose!!
Tetsuro Kuroo
That’s true. It’s like in a real tournament, you don’t know what you’ll get thrown at you, so the pressure is actually more realistic.
Keishin Ukai
So by switching up the players, you can get a sense of the pressure you’d feel at a tournament, huh.
Well, we have a tournament coming up, so it’ll be a good rehearsal.
Tobio Kageyama
Whoever it is, I’ll bring out their best with my toss.
Protagonist
Woah, that’s some confidence…
Shoyo Hinata
I’ll hit any kind of toss!
Kei Tsukishima
…Sigh, this is why they’re the freak duo.
Shinzen Captain
Ooh, you’re really at it!
Tetsuro Kuroo
Oh, you’re here. That’s Shinzen High School’s captain.
His name is… Broccoli.
Protagonist
Shinzen’s…
Broccoli?
Broccoli?
Oh, you’re the one we let in last minute? I heard about what happened.
Welcome to the Fukurodani Group. We have some really high-level managers~
Protagonist
Huh? Huhh…?
Tetsuro Kuroo
What are you talking about right off the bat? At least introduce yourself.
Broccoli?
Come on, it’s important, right? I’m Shinzen High School’s captain, Daiki Ogano. Nice to meet you.
Protagonist
Broc–… Ogano-san! Nice to meet you!
Daiki Ogano
Well, looks like you have some pep! …So, you’re already playing with mixed teams?
Tetsuro Kuroo
We just finished a match with this guy.
Daiki Ogano
…But aren’t the playoffs coming right up? Do you really have time for that?
What’s the point of playing with mixed teams now?
Keishin Ukai
I get what you’re saying, but Shinzen’s coach also agreed to this.
Daiki Ogano
Huh? For real?
Keishin Ukai
Shinzen is known for their combination plays, but to make the most of that, each player also needs to improve individually.
That’s what Shinzen’s coach said.
Tetsuro Kuroo
What he’s saying is, we all still suck~
Daiki Ogano
Guh… Damn it, just you wait. We’ll be the ones to improve the most!
Kotaro Bokuto
That’s my line!
Shoyo Hinata
Mine too!!
Everyone’s really fired up! I can’t lose, either!
Protagonist
Man, I’m tired~!
It’s been a while since I’ve felt like this. I’m worn out, but it feels really great.
Protagonist
But I can’t let myself be satisfied just playing volleyball. There’s going to be a match on the last day, too.
They even entrusted me with a team. If I’m going to do it, I’m going to be in it to win.
In order to do that, I need to improve, but I also need to get to know everyone better.
Protagonist
I’m getting excited just thinking about it. Okay! I’m going to run all the way home!
Wah!?
Woah, big…
No… eyebrows!?
Takanobu Aone
(*stare*)
Protagonist
Eek!? E-excuse me! I was just training and thought I’d run home…
Takanobu Aone
……
H-he’s not saying anything… He’s watching me…!?
Protagonist
E-excuse meeeeee!!
Kenji Futakuchi
Koganegawa, how many times have I told you? Your tosses need to be a bit lower!
Kanji Koganegawa
Yes sir!! I’m sorry! I’ll do 100 squats, so please forgive me!
Kenji Futakuchi
Like I said, I’m telling you to do more toss practice before you do that!
…Hm? Aone, what are you standing there for? You weren’t fighting with someone again, were you?
Takanobu Aone
……
Kenji Futakuchi
Well, whatever. Nobody’s there, anyway.
More importantly, Koganegawa.
Kanji Koganegawa
There’s more!?
Takanobu Aone
……
