The Volleyball Club's Mascot

Before Karasuno's volleyball team made a name for themselves again, what people talked about most was...

“There are three female managers...”

“Three female managers...”

“Must be nice, having a powerhouse team... I'm so jealous!”

“One cute type, two beauties... and two of them are beauties...”

Hearing these rumors, Hinata, her childhood friend, wanted to say something but held back.

Kenma, her first friend, wanted to keep quiet but couldn't.

As the crows and cats were petted until they toppled over, a faint sense of despair crept into their hearts.

Could no one see the demon king lurking beneath that classical beauty's face...?

Ye Yuege tilted her head and said cutely, “What's wrong? Don't you need me to set the ball?”

The little orange puppy: “Coming, coming!”

Afterward:

As this generation of volleyball players, hailed as a miracle, gradually made their way onto the world stage, rumors about Gu Lanjing, the foreign beauty physical therapist and club boss who grew up alongside them and attracted even more attention, were repeatedly brought up whenever news reported one of the players' great results.

Everyone was dying to know: so, which one of them was dating the beauty?

When asked, the YouTube influencer Claw-Claw said: “No idea. It's not me. Dating is too much trouble, so I'm not.”

When asked, a certain volleyball player from Nekoma, home of the owls, said: “No idea. It's not me. Lanlan only told Akaashi she'd look after me.”

When asked, a certain Japanese civil servant said: “No idea. How could it be me?! It'd make more sense for her to date my childhood friend than me!”

When asked, a certain volleyball player back from Brazil said: (frantically waving hands.gif) “It really isn't me! Natsu would kill me if she knew I was fighting her for her sister!”

When asked, a certain farmer from Inarizaki: (glances at the interviewer calmly) (the interviewer gets lectured for a full hour.mp4)

When asked, a certain Ushijima Wakatoshi said: (blinks) “I don't know about Dr. Lan's private affairs. The doctor just cares about my hand.”

When asked, a famous setter from a certain Clover Club said: (wailing) (dramatic gestures) “Exactly! She only likes my right leg for now! She's just graduated to the point where she doesn't want to take my right leg away! How can you call that love?!”

A certain setter for the Japanese national team: (jerks his head up) “What?! Dr. Lan is dating someone?!”

One day, Dr. Lan was accidentally caught on a Japanese TV show, petting Fukunaga the cat: “Romance? I'm not dating anyone. I didn't date anyone in high school either, haha. Hahahaha, if I had dated someone in high school, it would have been like dating the whole volleyball club, hahahaha. Everyone back then was as cute as little lambs! Of course, they're cute now too! I can pick them up with one hand.”

The interviewer watched Dr. Lan laughing as she swung her arm to knock aside a passing robber, and nodded enthusiastically, with a powerful instinct for self-preservation.
