[Volleyball] Hopelessly Fasting

[I've made a few small changes to the blurb.] Ju Mingshe is a romance-averse blockhead, famous far and wide. Here's what that looks like: - [Section 1] Strange boy: "Ju Ming, I like you. Will you go out with me?" She Li: "Sorry, I can't entrust my heart to two people." "Huh? Since when? Who's the guy?!" "How rude. It's not 'some guy,' it's Fuj... Fudeko..." Shocking! The girl in question turned out to be another girl! The strange boy covered his face and walked away. The cheerful guy pretending to pass by: "...Didn't you say it was Shimizu Kei... last time?" - [Section 2] At home, discussing future career plans. "Hmm... I can't think of what I want to do." The guy with the side-swept bangs calmly asked, "Senpai, how do you feel about languages, photography, painting, writing, medicine, and other fields like that?" She Li: "I'm a little interested in all of them." "Then if you had to pick your favorite?" "Manga... Hmm, how about I start gathering material now and draw a youth romance manga later? That kind of story should be popular, right?" "...No. Please, anything but that." After all, almost everyone around them was a cautionary example. - [Section 3] "I think it's time for our relationship to take a step forward. What do you think, Yaku?" She Li asked solemnly. "W-What...?" The strongest libero on the cat team blushed bright red. "I mean, upgrading from classmates to friends!" The libero: "..." The libero: "Sounds good." - [Section 4] The pudding cat, just about to confess: "...The person I like is here, " She Li: "You like ○Moe Hotaru too, right? Got it. Draw your sword, love rival!" The pudding cat: "..." The childhood friend watching from the sidelines: "???" - [Section 5] "Is it my fault that I don't want to date him?" "Of course it's his fault." The owl keeper firmly took her side. "He's just not good enough to make senpai feel comfortable dating someone in real life." "Exactly. He can't even get my name right, so who would believe he fell in love with me at first sight and secretly pined for me for three years...?" "Men like that usually have ulterior motives. You should keep your distance." "I will. Fictional characters really are the best. I'm going to spend my whole life with one!" The keeper: "..." Everyone else: "..." Akaashi, I told you that you were indulging her too much! * [Reading Guide] 1. The main story switches back to third person. There are lots of personal headcanons, and I'll try to keep everyone in character. The blurb may change again. As usual, the ending is open, so don't pick a ship. 2. Romance routes confirmed so far: the Kitagawa team, the Miya twins, Oikawa, Shirabu, Kunimi, Kenma, Yaku, Futakuchi, Suga, and Akaashi. Some get more focus than others, with more scenes for the characters I favor. Others are undecided or won't have a route. 3. The protagonist starts in her second year of high school. Since I couldn't decide which school she should attend, I rolled dice: 1-2 Nekoma, 3-4 Fukurodani, 5-6 Shiratorizawa for roll one; 1-2 Inarizaki, 3-4 Karasuno, 5-6 Aoba Johsai for roll two; 1-2-3 Nekoma, 4-5-6 Inarizaki for roll three. So the main story's heroine attends Nekoma, while the alternate routes are at other schools, if I get around to writing them. 4. My writing is limited and updates are slow. If you don't like it, please be gentle when you click away. Thanks. Theme: Everyone who passes through our lives is one of a kind.
