On the very day I entered Shiratorizawa High School, a screen suddenly appeared before my eyes.
[Washijo Tanji]
Age: 71
Height: ...
Note: [Furious]
And beside him was Ushijima-senpai.
Note: [Wants to play volleyball, but Coach Washijo is angry...]
That note came in handy.
I told the coach that Ushijima-senpai wanted to play volleyball.
Thanks to that, I managed to escape the terrifying atmosphere of the volleyball club.
After that incident, I started spending more time with Ushijima-senpai, and his notes were pretty interesting.
[Wants to play volleyball, but Tendou is busy again]
He's just brushing you off!
[Wants to go for a run, but it's a little cold]
Just put on another layer!
I pulled out my phone and called Tendou-senpai, shook out Ushijima-senpai's jacket, and sent him out the door.
When he realized I could always guess exactly what he was thinking, Ushijima-senpai started looking at me more and more.
His gaze seemed to say: Hurry up and translate.
Fine. From today on, I'm Ushijima Wakatoshi's volleyball spokesperson, the greatest mouthpiece of all time. I'll never have to worry about losing an argument again! (Hands on hips)
Some time later, Tendou-senpai produced a magazine from who knows where, then pointed to me, Ushijima-senpai, Shirabu-senpai, and the others.
The silent emperor, the loyal minister, and me, the evil mastermind...
Me: "You're the most evil traitor of all!"
I was very unhappy with that nickname, so I decided to eat the little cakes he had hidden away, then go report him to the coach.
Ushijima-senpai's notes kept pointing me in the right direction:
[To the left] [A little higher] [Inside the cabinet]
[There's another Jump magazine in the compartment...]
So don't mess with me!
At that moment, I was terrifyingly powerful.
-
But there's trouble, friends.
Some time later, I returned from training camp and found that the notes above Ushijima-senpai's head had turned into gibberish.
The characters writhed and twisted. I waited for days, and once they finally settled into place, they became...
[He misses you so much]
He misses having a mouthpiece, right?
[He's been worried about you]
Without me as his mouthpiece, he'll have a hard time again...
[He's in love with you]
Oh.
Wait, hold on. In love? What do you mean, in love?
What would a volleyball-brained guy know about being in love?!
Ever since I discovered this secret, I've been reminding Ushijima-senpai every day:
"You can't just go around falling for people."
"And you definitely can't confess without getting their permission first..."
"I see," Ushijima Wakatoshi said earnestly, seeking advice. "Then what can I do to get him to say yes?"
"..."
There's no way he'd say yes. Give it up already!!!
Theme: I will uphold pure and supreme friendship!
