How a Cat-Type Survives at Inarizaki

[The entire story is complete. Thank you for supporting the official release.] [The author's other stories, Kira-kun's Volleyball and How a Dog-Type Survives at Itachiyama, are complete.] Story Blurb To escape his dad's deadly training schedule, Ichiki accepted an invitation from the volleyball club at Inarizaki High School in Hyogo Prefecture without hesitation. After a quick goodbye to his twin brother, he headed to this city full of Kansai accents. After joining the volleyball club, Ichiki realized something. Oh wow, this place has way too many foxes. How was a little kitty like him supposed to survive here? To fit in with the group, Ichiki decided to put in just a tiny bit of effort. Blocking? He casually picked it up from the King of Waist Power. Spiking? He casually learned from a top-five ace in the country. Receiving? He decided to skip that one. Ichiki's day-to-day life remained peaceful and utterly unremarkable. In his free time, he'd have passionate debates with the golden fox over which of them was Inarizaki's most handsome player. Of course, their arguments might turn into a full-on brawl, most likely dragging in the other fox who'd been watching for fun. Or he might ask Inarizaki's official photographer to take handsome photos of him, then request ten thousand ugly pictures of the golden fox. He planned to post them on the school forum. Or he'd quietly steal snacks from the silver-haired fox and blame the golden fox. At times like these, the white cat who'd started the war would watch the foxes fight with a grin and egg them on to hit each other harder. Usually, the golden fox would use the same old but effective line to shut the cat up. "If you're so great, don't ask me to set for you anymore!!" The white cat, unable to reply: Okk, you're the best, you win! Ichiki, whose dream was to spend his whole life lazing around, somehow ended up going to nationals with his Inarizaki teammates. During a break, the golden fox watched in disbelief as his own white cat fluttered around like a butterfly. Wandering among the players from all the other schools. Putting his arms around other setters' shoulders and laughing with carefree abandon. The stunned golden fox's Kansai accent went up and down like a winding mountain road. "You went behind my back and found another setter?!" Grinning at his furious expression, Ichiki stuck out his tongue. I'm getting another setter to set for me, nyah nyah~ The golden fox, completely losing it (brooding) (crawling) (screaming): "Aaaaaah!! Get your hands off him, get them off!! Don't touch my ace!!" During the match The spectators watched the weak, listless big white cat goofing off on the court. Spectators who'd never seen Ichiki play: What's with this guy? If he doesn't want to play, he should leave the court! Spectators who'd seen Ichiki play: Don't panic! He's no little kitty, he's a full-on tiger! Then Ichiki fired off a powerful jump serve and smashed the ceiling light. Everyone, dumbfounded: Uh... After the match, Inarizaki achieved a result that made everyone proud. And Ichiki himself somehow earned the title of one of the country's top three middle blockers. Ichiki: ...Meow? Mr. Aone, whose dream was to spend his life goofing off, stood in a crisp suit and spoke to the camera with refined politeness. "I'll give this match everything I have and win for our country." After the interview, Ichiki loosened his tie, only to be pulled around a corner. A blond man pinned Ichiki against the wall and grinned teasingly, showing off a little fang. "How does it feel, Mr. Aone, to represent your country in the Olympic volleyball tournament?" Finally free of the need to keep up appearances, Ichiki draped himself over Miya Atsumu like a boneless cat-shaped worm, wrapped his arms around his waist, and answered in a sweet voice. "I want to lie flat! I don't care! Atsumu, you have to support me!" "Get lost!" The fox, a vein popping on his forehead, was ready to blow his top. "Do you not love me anymore?" "I do."
