On the Possibilities of Data and Volleyball

In his previous life, Kashiwara Kaoru was a string of data. His bad luck was that he was promptly deleted as soon as he became self-aware. His good luck was that he opened his eyes again and became human. And this world... was amazing!

It was just that, compared with his cousin and friends, his volleyball seemed rather ordinary and unremarkable.

Goshiki asked the question on everyone’s mind: Are you sure your volleyball is ordinary?

List One: People You’d Be Most Afraid to Mess With.

Kashiwara Kaoru came in first.

Reason: Kashiwara Juice, a healthy vegetable drink made from a recipe that had been adjusted again and again. Its only flaw was that it tasted awful, the kind of awful that made even Ushijima look horrified.

List Two: The Weirdest Person in School.

Kashiwara Kaoru also came in first.

Reason: Every day, some random, inexplicable object would appear, like a flowerpot, a scrunchie shaped like a large intestine, or a slap bracelet. The worst one was a rice cooker.

During a practice match, Washijo saw an enormous rice cooker and finally snapped, the veins on his forehead throbbing: “Kashiwara Kaoru, get out of here with your rice cooker!”

#We Still Don’t Know What Color Kashiwara’s Eyes Are#

There was one question that weighed on Goshiki’s mind and made him fret every single day: Could Kashiwara really see with his eyes closed?

The curious Tendou hit it off with him immediately. The two of them secretly teamed up and drew up an elaborate plan to uncover the truth.

So one night during training camp, two furtive figures appeared over Kashiwara’s head, even trying to pry his eyelids open.

Kashiwara smiled and spoke up. “Atsumu, perhaps you’d like to try the new punishment tea.”

“And you too, Senpai Tendou.” Tendou was already slipping away, but a chill ran down his back.

“Aaaah!”

From then on, Kashiwara’s eyes became one of the volleyball club’s great mysteries.

It wasn’t until later, after the two single-celled life forms Goshiki and Kirihara met and exchanged information, that they realized in horror: Thank goodness they hadn’t seen Kashiwara and Yanagi’s eyes, or they’d have turned to stone!

Kashiwara and Yanagi: ...How can people be this adorably stupid (not that we mean it)?

P.S.

· The protagonist is Renji’s cousin. He went to Teiko in middle school but didn’t play basketball, then attended Shiratorizawa in high school. This is a lighthearted story focused mainly on volleyball, with everyone getting picked on. Note: The protagonist is extraordinarily beautiful, with an androgynous look. He’s both gorgeous and handsome!!!

· The author has never played volleyball and isn’t smart, either. All the volleyball knowledge comes from anime and watching three competitions, so the level of expertise is extremely low! Extremely low! Extremely low! If there are any glaring mistakes, I’ll prostrate myself in apology first!

· He’s a genius, but also a hard worker. I own the OOC; the characters belong to everyone!

· A lighthearted sports story. The protagonist wins a lot and loses very little. In the middle and later parts, he becomes an absurdly talented powerhouse, so it’s mostly a feel-good power fantasy.
