Haikyuu!!: I'm Socially Awkward! Please Keep Your Distance!!

People... so many people. I hate crowded places more than anything, so why, why am I trembling with excitement!

The little ball flew to its highest point. Spike! We won! A deafening roar of cheers rose from every direction.

The boys on the court came back to themselves. They seemed to have only just realized that they'd finally won the match. But they didn't cheer right away. Instead, they all looked toward a certain direction, grinned, and gave a thumbs-up, letting the person who had always been by their side know: We won!

Little scene:

Keishin Ukai: "It's fine if Xiazhi plays for a bit. Qingfeng can count it as exercise. Come on, Qingfeng, let's see if you can resist watching their passionate match... You little brat! You're only a substitute for a while! Do you really have to wrap yourself up like a ball?"

Qingfeng's muffled voice came from under the blanket. "...No!"

Ukai's temper flared. He grabbed the blanket and tugged at it, gritting his teeth. "You spoke, so that means you're willing to play. Come out already!"

Qingfeng clutched the blanket even tighter and fell silent. Ukai yelled, "Aaargh! You little brat, if you don't come out right now, I'm confiscating your snacks!"

Qingxin stiffened. Ukai pulled the blanket right off him, and the momentum sent him rolling twice. Ukai bared his teeth. "Tsk." He looked at the person not far away and continued, "I'll take all your candy, too!"

Seeing the person across from him frozen in place, he grinned wickedly and went on. "Heh heh, Tsukishima can keep an eye on you at school, Hinata can watch you at home, and we'll all keep an eye on you at the club. So, want to give it a try?"

As if he'd just recovered, Qingfeng immediately picked up his little tablet and scribbled something. As soon as he finished, he held it up. It said .

Theme: Work hard to become stronger, and sweetness will come at last.
