Naturally, the conversation in the infirmary eventually came to nothing.

At the moment when Bai Lu's movements stopped, the orange-haired boy covered his cheeks with his ears blushing consciously, his hands were shaking like rattles, expressing in a panic that Bai Lu should not take it to heart.

His mouth opened in waves, and he touched the red and swollen place because he covered his cheeks, and he made a "hiss" forcefully in pain.

"Is there really no problem?"

Bai Lu reluctantly squeezed out the plaster and applied it lightly on his face, but his mood was unspeakably heavy.

never mind.

Make it here today.

After taking care of the boy's injury, Bai Lu quickly put all the things back in place, washed the towels and hung them on the railing at the end of the bed, planning to put them away tomorrow.

Hinata Xiangyang's head is not dizzy, and his actions are very normal, so there is no need to stay here any longer.

They returned to the gym together, and the game was already approaching match point.

Seeing the figures of the two, Kiyoko Shimizu and the members outside the arena surrounded him, cared about Hinata Xiangyang, and asked him if he could train in the future.

"certainly!"

"Xiangyang, wait."

Before the orange-haired boy returned to the team, Bai Lu secretly poured the healing potion into his water bottle, and stuffed it into the opponent's palm without refusal.

In order to make her movements look more natural, she showed a gentle and encouraging smile: "Drink some water before going back."

"Okay, okay...!"

I don’t know if it’s because the interaction in the infirmary is too intense, or the girl’s smile is too bright, since Hinata Xiangyang came out, she hardly dared to look at Bai Lu’s face, and always stared at her toes in a panic: “Then I’ll startIt's-"

"It's just drinking saliva, so there's no need for such a big fanfare."

Hotaru Tsukishima, who just happened to be replaced because of a shift, raised his eyebrows, picked up the towel expressionlessly, and stared at Hinata and Bai Lu who came back with his pear-yellow eyes, his poisonous tongue was almost beyond words.

"Tsukishima! You're the one who's hungry for me!"

Hinata Xiangyang choked on someone with flushed cheeks, raised his head and gulped down the water in the water bottle, as if to cover up his embarrassment, without giving the other party a chance to refute.

"...No, what you want to say is "jealousy"."

"puff!!!"

Hotaru Tsukishima didn't know whether to continue complaining, but was directly startled by the next "squirting" action of the orange-haired boy.

"Xiang, Xiangyang?"

Bai Lu was also taken aback, and hurried forward to pat him on the back, feeling a bad premonition in his heart.

"System: cough cough."

"System: It's no wonder, after all, the healing potion tastes like bitter melon."

"..."

You didn't say it earlier.

"I'm sorry!!" Hinata Xiangyang coughed frantically, bent down and bowed deeply with a difficult face, and clenched the water bottle firmly in his tone.

He returned the empty bottle that he drank in one gulp just now to the girl.

"...It's me who has to say I'm sorry."

Bai Lu looked at the empty bottle and had to make up a nonsense reason: "It was I who confused the bitter melon juice I drank to lose weight with yours."

"Looking at your expression, you probably got drunk by accident."

"Eh?!!"

Hinata Xiangyang's eyes widened, he let go of the hands that were holding his neck, and tried his best to relieve his purple face: "It turns out... so it's like this... no wonder... ah no, it's okay!"

"and."

With a flushed face, he lowered his head: "Bai Lusang is already very thin and beautiful, I don't think there is any need to lose weight."

"That's right, Xiangyang!"

Yu Nishiya, who was replaced as a free agent, clenched his fists and knelt down directly in front of Bai Lu and Shimizu Kiyoko: "As long as I have this light, I can live forever—"

...

His show time was naturally interrupted by the fierce competition.

The practice match continues, until the end of the match point, Wu Ye's training today also ends here

, Everyone tidied up and helped, everyone was exhausted from a day of training.

Bai Lu mopped up the last sweat stain on the floor. After receiving the reward from the system, she looked around and found Yu Nishiya who was doing stretching exercises in the corner with her backpack.

If it wasn't for this guy's sudden appearance just now, she almost forgot to talk to him.

"That, Nishitani-senpai."

"..."

Yu Nishiya froze on the spot as he pressed his legs, as if he hadn't reacted, he froze for a few seconds before standing up: "Oh!"

"What, what's the matter? Do you want to eat popsicles, junior girl, I invite you!"

Bai Lu:?

"System: When the player was called senior just now, his favorability increased by 1 point."

……oh.

Bai Lu didn't want to eat popsicles, and didn't want to delay the other party's stretching activities. She bent down and took out the bruise spray and Bondi from her backpack.

"Senior Nishitani, will you also conduct training independently after returning home?"

"Self-training? Ah, no these two days."

Yu Nishiya scratched his hair and looked over with some doubts: "However, when I didn't return to the club some time ago, I practiced catching the ball with the club's aunt."

"What's wrong?"

The young man has a heroic face. He usually hangs out with Ryunosuke Tanaka and looks noisy, but when the two of them get along alone, the other party's vigorous temperament can vaguely reveal a faint sense of reliability.

This should be the first time the two of them have spoken alone.

Bai Lu didn't have any thoughts, after all, the young man in front of him was not within his strategy range: "So it's like this, no wonder every time I meet Senior Nishitani, you get new bruises on your body."

"It's hard, isn't it? I brought a spray to relieve bruises, seniors, take it back and use it, and Bundy."

She pointed to the area below Yu Nishiya's knee, where the knee pads weren't covering it: "The skin is broken here, to avoid infection, use a Bondi—"

Using the posture of bending over, he simply squatted down to help him stick Bondi, and Bai Lu stood up with a sigh of relief: "Okay, please pay attention in the future."

"...Thank...Thank you..."

The young man with highlighted hair dyed his ears slightly red, and rarely showed an uncomfortable expression on his face: "So you have noticed."

"System: His favorability has increased by 5 points."

normal response.

Bai Lu nodded to him: "Of course, I pay close attention to each team member."

This sentence is true, leaving aside the strategy, the manager still wants to do her best, not just logistics and chores, she should learn more about volleyball playing methods and new tactics when she goes back.

She put away her backpack and bid farewell to Yu Nishiya, turned around and just ran into Yamaguchi Tadashi who was resting with Hotaru Tsukishima.

...

As soon as he finished speaking, he slapped his face.

In fact, Bai Lu also noticed that Yamaguchi Tadashi often gets some new injuries. He is obviously not a regular player, but his club activities are much harder than his hair. If you guessed correctly...

This guy also does independent exercises at night, right?Some injuries definitely didn't just appear in club activities.

"System: It's a pity that players can notice."

...But she is not at all comfortable going over to give her warmth.

The previous "french fries" incident has not been resolved until now, and the guy who got in the way, Yue Dao, is also nearby, so it's not easy to get together to apologize and post a Bondi or something.

never mind.

It's not a problem to continue dragging.

"Mountain pass."

Looking at the two boys with different expressions in front of him, Bai Lu stopped the one with a tangled expression, and lowered his tone a little: "Can you come here for a while?"

Call him out alone, and you can avoid the guy who gets in the way.

"Eh?"

Tadashi Yamaguchi showed a look of surprise, his dark green pupils widened, as if he didn't expect the girl to take the initiative to talk to him: "Is there... what's the matter?"

"Well... come here."

Bai Lu turned around and walked

Going outside the stairs of the gymnasium, seeing the boy who was still surprised just now really followed her, looking down at her with a hesitant and apprehensive tone, she lowered her head without any hesitation, and stuffed the extra bruise spray into his arms.

Before he could sincerely apologize, Yamaguchi Tadashi was already one step ahead, and bent down hard the moment he got the spray——

"Feel sorry!"

……Um?

What is he apologizing for?

"It's because I didn't consider Bai Lusang's mood..." Just like Bai Lu's bewilderment, the dark green-haired boy got stuck in his throat halfway through his words. He opened his mouth and looked at the stuffed thing in his hand with different expressionsthing:

"Huh? This is, fall... spray?"

"Yes."

Bai Lu nodded, and she was rarely stunned for a short period of time, so she looked at this honest and peaceful boy with a complicated expression: "Well, do you mean...are you an idiot?"

"Eh?! Ba... Baga..."

Yamaguchi Tadashi stiffened in shock.

Did he accidentally offend Bai Lu again?

Or did she do something wrong, because she didn't recognize the bruise spray just now, or I accidentally interrupted her, which made the other party unhappy...

The boy's head was in a mess, to tell the truth, since the cafeteria left that day, he had been trying to find a way to reconcile with Bai Lu, but he couldn't meet the right time.

Yesterday, discussed a few words with A'Yue, and finally mustered up the courage to invite him to go home with him, but the result was not very satisfactory.

Bai Lu still looked unwilling to talk to him.

Yamaguchi Tadashi's messy heart couldn't help falling into a storm, and when he was thinking about what he did wrong, the girl's next words interrupted the stagnation of the two.

"It's obviously my fault."

Her voice was clear and calm.

"It's because I didn't take Yamaguchi's feelings into consideration... what I like is a personal hobby, and I made too much fuss at the time."

Bai Lu looked at the freckled boy with his head down with a complicated expression. There was part of the reason why she didn't accept it when she ran away, but in the final analysis it was just for the strategy.

"Why did Yamaguchi apologize?"

Obviously, she is mean.

"sorry."

Bai Lu also bent down, with his hands at his sides, letting his slender hair hang down his back, and bowed seriously to the boy.

Although despicable, but...

"It's okay, Bai Lu-san!"

Yamaguchi Tadashi hurriedly helped the girl up, the base of her white ears was stained a little red, although her expression was flustered, her dark green pupils lit up with a layer of luster, as if the long-standing depression had finally dissipated: "I didn't take it to heartYes, get up."

How kind.

Bai Lu's eyes covered by Liuhai/bangs and hair looked down at his toes, his light pear-colored eyes were different from his movements, and there was only silence and indifference inside.

"Then... isn't it called sauce?"

She restrained her expression forcefully, raised her head with a smile.

"Eh?"

"Yamaguchi-kun, you changed your name before, why did you change it back to Bai Lu'san?"

The girl also changed her address back to Mr. XX to remind her of the meaning in her words. Although she herself doesn't mind the address, it is an indispensable link for the strategy.

"People who are familiar with me call me Lu Lu, and you can call me that too."

"good……"

Yamaguchi Tadashi pursed his lips, and his freckled cheeks gradually turned red. Unlike Hinata Xiangyang who looked directly at him directly, his expression was pure, gentle, and full of uncertainty.

"Heron, heron."

[System: The Raider character "Yamaguchi Tadashi" has a favorability score of 93%.】

"Then, take this extra bottle of Boundary Spray."

Bai Lu brought the topic back to the previous interaction. She held the other person's wrist and spread his palm: "You always get some new injuries. Are you tired and painful?"

"It's really hard work."

On the left hand side of the mountain pass there is a

The bruise was caused by the coach not receiving the strong serve in the morning, and accidentally fell on the ground and wiped it out.

She noticed it then.

After tearing off a band-aid to cover the teenager's wound, Bai Lu gently pressed the sides of Bondi again with his thumbs: "Okay, remember not to touch the water here."

"The bruises can be relieved a lot by spraying some spray, Zhongjun."

[System: Raider character "Yamaguchi Tadashi" favorability +3.】

...It's already stuck to more than 90%, and can still add 3 points in one breath.

Sure enough, everyone is different.

After the conversation outside the gymnasium, Bai Lu and Yamaguchi Tadashi finally reconciled.

And because of her last address, which was directly called by name, the relationship between each other was directly closer, and the daily conversations also increased.

certainly……

Tadashi Yamaguchi seemed embarrassed to call Bai Lu a nickname in front of everyone, so he dared to talk to her secretly with flushed cheeks cautiously.

Ever since, everyone still doesn't know that two people call each other by name.

Bai Lu didn't pay much attention to this. As a qualified manager, it's not their job to finish the gymnasium at such a special moment as the camp.

The boys were responsible for locking the door, while Bai Lu and Shimizu Jiezi set off for the supermarket to purchase ingredients as planned.

although……

Something happened when they went back.

"Sorry, Sagi-chan."

Shimizu Jiezi opened the plastic bag and looked through the contents, her tone rarely showed a trace of panic: "I forgot to buy kombu だし, and I reminded myself not to forget when I was shopping."

"Kumbu dashi?"

Bai Lu looked at her puzzled.

"Well, it's a common seasoning. It's not available in the apartment where you stay. It will taste delicious if you use this to make soup."

Shimizu Jiezi's Qingli face, which has always been expressionless, was a little troubled: "You go back first, I will buy a new bottle."

"Then I will be with Jiezi-senpai..."

"No, I will check if there are any leftovers on the way to buy, it may take a long time, you go back and stuff the rice first."

"System: It's finally time to purchase. The seniors of the club seem to have forgotten to buy things. Faced with her strict instructions, do you decide?"

A. Insist on shopping with her

B. go back alone

"..."

It seems that there is no need to tangle.

Seeing that there was no reluctance on Shimizu Jiezi's face, Bai Lu took the plastic bag from the black-haired girl's hand decisively: "Then senior sister, give me the things, and I will take them back together."

"Huh? The two bags are very heavy."

"It's okay, I'm all alone."

The girl raised her arms and nonchalantly picked up the two white plastic bags in her handle.

[System: Raider character "Shimizu Kiyoko" favorability +5.】

...I almost forgot that senior sisters also have favorability.

Anyway, go back first.

Saying goodbye to the seniors in high school, Bai Lu walked forward quickly without thinking about it, and gradually moved away from the small supermarket not far away.

It is now evening, the afterglow of the setting sun hits the ground, casting a quiet shadow through various low-rise buildings, probably because the location is too remote and there are not many people nearby.

The apartment where everyone stayed was very close to the place where they ran. The girl followed her memory and walked through the path with few people. The next development should be normal. She quietly carried two plastic bags and walked unimpeded.back to the lodging...

However.

Behind the telephone booth not far away, a very strange figure seemed to be cast.

Bai Lu's footsteps paused slightly, since she separated from Qingshui Jiezi until now, she has not met anyone, but a shadow appeared in front of her, standing behind the phone booth.

Could it be something the plot wants to do again?

"System: Hee hee, player, you just chose someone to go."

...

The mechanical sound in her head was gone, the girl didn't bother to talk to the other party, and continued to walk forward with her bag.

After all, it is still related to the strategy, right?

It should be a member of the commune who ran out, after all, this is just the only way to go back to the apartment, so it's just a matter of talking.

Just as she was thinking like this, when she passed the phone booth, she froze in place.

That's right, frozen in place.

"ah"

The coffee-haired boy leaning on the wooden phone booth also seemed to be stunned. His face was handsome, his face was so delicate that there was no blemish, his peacock-like eyes were slightly frozen, and he straightened up after a few seconds of weird silence.He pursed his lips and put his arms around his waist.

"really……"

"Before going back, let's make sure it's correct."

"ing..."

"System: It is detected that the player has re-triggered the character of the sideline strategy, and the current favorability of Oikawa Toru: 100% (4 days expires)"

"Long time no see, little heron."
