Pant, pant, pant…
Up until yesterday I would always trudge half-heartedly to school, but today I run the whole way.
I was so excited I couldn’t sleep much last night. Even now, I’m running a bit early.
Protagonist
First, I have free practice by myself!
Protagonist
Hup! Hup! Hup!
Even as I practice my tosses, my mind is already at Karasuno. I’m just too excited for the match this afternoon.
I can play in a match again today. I can play volleyball!
Protagonist
Wooooooooooooooo!!
Without thinking, I let out a loud yell.
The basketball club members look at me and murmur.
Protagonist
Oops, that’s embarrassing…
I need to concentrate on practice for the match this afternoon.
Even though I’m practicing by myself, it doesn’t feel lonely like it usually does.
After all, I’ll be able to practice with everyone else after this.
Protagonist
Woohooooooooooooooo!!
Ah, oops, again…
I can’t sit still here… It’s still a bit early, but I’ll go check out Karasuno.
Protagonist
Hello, everyone!!
Protagonist
Huh? Nobody’s here?
Shoyo Hinata
Oh hey, Momijihara! What’s up!
Protagonist
Oh, Hinata-kun.
Shoyo Hinata
You can just call me Hinata. I’m looking forward to playing with you again today!
Protagonist
Yeah, me too! So, where’s everyone else?
Shoyo Hinata
I guess they went somewhere? Right now we’re on break between afternoon and free practice.
Protagonist
Oh, so everyone goes out during the break. That sounds fun~
Are you not going to go out too, Hinata?
Shoyo Hinata
I have to practice my special technique.
Protagonist
You have a special technique? That sounds really cool.
Shoyo Hinata
Yeah! Do you want to practice with me?
Protagonist
Yeah, of course!
Daichi Sawamura
Oh, you’re already at it?
Koshi Sugawara
Well, aren’t you eager~
Protagonist
Ah, Sawamura-san! Sugawara-san! Hello!!
Daichi Sawamura
Perfect. About the mixed teams for the match on the last day…
I talked with Suga about it, and we were thinking of letting you organize one of the teams.
Protagonist
Huh!? You mean I would pick the members!?
But I don’t really know everyone well yet, so I wouldn’t know what to do…
Koshi Sugawara
You can just gather whoever you feel you work best with. That’ll make things easier for you too, right?
Protagonist
I guess… But is it really okay for me to choose?
Shoyo Hinata
The upperclassmen are saying it’s fine, so don’t worry about it!
Protagonist
O-okay… In that case, I’ll give it a go!
Daichi Sawamura
Talk with a bunch of different people, and put together the strongest team you can come up with.
Shoyo Hinata
The strongest team! That sounds great! I want to play against that team!
Koshi Sugawara
You don’t want to be on a strong team, but rather, you want to play against them?
Shoyo Hinata
I mean, they’re the strongest, right?
So, playing a match against them would be a lot more interesting!
Daichi Sawamura
That’s so like you, Hinata.
Protagonist
So does that mean I shouldn’t pick you, Hinata?
Shoyo Hinata
Well no, if you were to pick me that’d also be very welcome!
Daichi Sawamura
Then you’d better develop enough skill to be worth picking.
Shoyo Hinata
Urgh… I’ll do my best!!!
Protagonist
But first, I need to get to know everyone.
Shoyo Hinata
In that case, let’s go and meet everyone now! You can get to know things that you wouldn’t know just during practice!
Protagonist
Huh? But don’t you have to practice your special technique?
Shoyo Hinata
I’ll practice my special technique plenty later, so it’s fine! Come on, let’s go!
Protagonist
O-okay.
Hinata takes you to meet Tanaka, Asahi, Suga, and Tsukki (conversations will be uploaded on their respective pages).
