[Haikyuu!!] Coward

Mu Cangwei always felt trapped in the rainy season, just like her miserable life.

But her cousin, Yuko Yamashita, would firmly tell her, "No one's life can be miserable forever." Using the excuse that her theater club was short a professional stage designer, she invited Mu Cangwei to help out. That's how Mu Cangwei came to Hyogo, where she met the gray-haired fox, setting their stories in motion.

Miya Osamu never thought he'd fall for someone in secret. If he ever said it out loud, Miya Atsumu would have ammunition to tease him for the rest of his life.

But what could he do when Mu Cangwei was such a scaredy-cat? The more Miya Osamu showed his affection, the more she shrank back, too afraid to face love.

But what could he do when Mu Cangwei was the one he loved? With a sigh, Miya Osamu retreated to their more-than-friends-but-not-quite-lovers relationship, becoming the tragic second male lead Yuko Yamashita complained about. He even felt like he was acting out of character.

But what could he do when love changed people beyond recognition? Sometimes Miya Osamu wondered if there would come a day when he couldn't hold on any longer. On the night Mu Cangwei left, he became a coward too.

But the very next day, he was already missing Mu Cangwei again. All right, he told himself, I just want a definite answer. Miya Osamu believed the rain would eventually give way to sunshine. Fortunately, he trusted that Mu Cangwei wasn't a coward through and through, and she took a bold step forward too.

Just as novels and manga always reach their final chapter, Mu Cangwei and Miya Osamu finally made their way into a sunny day beneath a clear sky.

A self-indulgent, rambling story, not quite like a novel.
