[Haikyuu!!] The Wind Sprite Speaks

His Majesty the king had spent three years without a single subject.

Could a king with no subjects even be called a king? He wasn't sure himself. To be honest, he didn't like being a king. There were no adventures, no companions, only an empty palace and endless loneliness.

Until one day, a gentle breeze stirred the wind chimes and brought an elf before him.

"Hello, Your Majesty. Welcome to my adventure."

Thus spoke the wind elf.

Three months had passed since the start of high school, and Kageyama Tobio's impression of Kazami Kaori was still "the girl with excellent grades who sits diagonally in front of me."

Then one evening, after practice, he stepped into a restaurant near school and unexpectedly spotted Kazami Kaori in a corner, weeping bitterly.

Kageyama: ...?!

Should he update his impression to "the girl with excellent grades who sits diagonally in front of me, but can somehow cry this hard"?

No, wait, that's not the point. Can someone tell him what he's supposed to do right now?

Kazami: ...

Um, classmate, is it possible that she just got a mouthful of spicy curry...?

After they officially got to know each other, Kageyama Tobio's impression of Kazami Kaori kept growing more detailed.

Kageyama: "At first, I thought you were the type who only cared about studying and didn't give a damn about anything else. But then I found out you cry, help me study, watch me practice, bring me bandages, and scold me with a really long string of words..."

Kazami: ...?

Wait, she told him she wasn't crying at the restaurant! And when was she ever scolding him?

"I strongly suggest you revise your impression of me," Kazami said solemnly. "At the very least, change the part about crying."

Kageyama nodded earnestly. "Okay. What should I change it to?"

Kazami thought for a moment.

"How about an elf!" Kazami blinked. "One who can use magic... a wind elf."

Kageyama Tobio x Kazami Kaori

A few things to know before reading:

1. Original female lead, third-person narration. She's rational, but a little spacey.

2. My take on a romantic comedy: a sweet youth-and-school story with a happy ending.

3. The romance progresses very, very slowly. You could call it the ultimate showdown between two oblivious contestants (? )

4. There will be a few original supporting characters, but they won't take up much of the story.

5. The main story is complete. Extras will appear from time to time.

6. A quick warning that there may be some OOC moments (hey).

Theme: Loneliness can be approached in different ways.
