A Volleyball Opposite Who Doesn’t Slack Off on the Court Isn’t a Good Setter

30% anti-theft + 72 hours [Honor of Kings] Inarizaki, a top contender for the championship and a powerhouse in high school volleyball. Anyone who makes it onto a team like this must have something special about them, right? (Coach Iwamoto): "Kurihara Yuto, get up in the air! Attack, attack! Just because you're a middle blocker, that doesn't mean you don't have to hit the ball!" Kurihara Yuto: (OVO) (Sakusa): "I recommend this no-rinse hand sanitizer. It kills germs and disinfects..." Everyone on a team like this must get along great, right? (Iizuna): "Sakusa, were you just thinking, 'What's the big deal?'" "Kurihara... where's your powerful jump serve? Give me a powerful jump serve!" Anyway, our Inarizaki volleyball club is thriving as usual today. [Firmly] I'm Kurihara Yuto. Maybe a lot of coaches don't understand me (tears), but how can taking it easy on the volleyball court be called slacking off? It's called conserving energy! Doing the most with the least effort, that's my way of playing volleyball! Right after Kurihara Yuto won a volleyball league championship in America and was named Best Middle Blocker, his parents packed him up and sent him back to Japan. There, he met a cousin he'd never seen before: an... enthusiastic orange-haired kid. Shoyo: "Yuto, your sets are amazing! One more, Yuto!" Kurihara Yuto: (Dragging his exhausted body upright) "Okay... Shoyo..." Note: At the beginning of the story, Kurihara joins Inarizaki. Sakusa and Motoya are first-years, and Iizuna is a second-year. Since only three Inarizaki characters appear in the original, everyone else is an original character! ---- Coming Soon ---- Do You Want Me, a Farmer, to Play Volleyball? One day, a farmer brought his beloved high-quality iridium fishing rod to the Secret Woods and was astonished to discover a new path in the forest! Overjoyed, the farmer walked right in without hesitation. A flash of white light suddenly appeared before his eyes, and Grandpa's letter materialized in his hands. The farmer himself had ended up in an unfamiliar house. Grandpa: "My dear child, by the time you find this note, you must have been in Stardew Valley for quite some time... Go! This place holds all my secrets. Join the Inarizaki High School volleyball club! This is your proof of identity. When you've been in the club for four years, I'll come back to see you." That can't be right, Grandpa! The farmer's eyes widened. Am I supposed to play volleyball? Is this for real? One day, while eating the fragrant berries the farmer had brought, Atsumu asked curiously, "I've never had this fruit before. Where did you buy it, Haruya?" The farmer, Makari Haruya, smiled. "I grew it myself." Aran stopped chewing. "You mean you go back to farming after practice?" Makari Haruya: "Yeah. I'm the only one at home, after all." The farmer's broad shoulders bore so much responsibility. Everyone: No wonder this guy has so much stamina! Wait, could he be really poor? Now we feel bad for him... The fruit in our mouths doesn't even taste good anymore. It wasn't until Makari Haruya invited them to the countryside that everyone from Inarizaki fell silent at the sight of the vast fields and all the different buildings. Give back our sympathy and concern! When they first met, he offered Atsumu some Starfruit Tea. Atsumu had been insisting he wouldn't teach beginners, but suddenly accepted the tea. Atsumu: "Oh, thanks! This looks really good." As soon as he finished speaking, Atsumu froze. Huh? Did I just accept it? Oh well, it really does look good. Let's try some. Osamu, accepting a cup of tea too: "It smells delicious! Do you have any more?" Everyone else: "You two have got to be kidding." The farmer chatted with Kita Shinsuke about farming tips and earned a satisfied smile from Captain Kita. After a full day of matches, the farmer happily checked that his stamina bar had only dropped by half. He cheerfully went home and harvested crops until 1:55, then peacefully closed his eyes in bed.
