Just the night before Karasuno vs. Aoba, Bai Lu received a message from Oikawa Toru on his mobile phone.

"Oikawa Toru: I remember, Sagi-chan is Wu Ye's manager, right?"

"Oikawa Toru: Tomorrow, I really look forward to meeting you."

"Oikawa Toru: Bunny winks gif."

"..."

Bai Lu looked at the phone screen with no expression on his face. Oikawa Toru's profile picture was a pink bunny holding a strawberry.

Probably because the game during the day made her drift away, and the girl who had returned to the strategy was lazy and had a cancer attack, so she directly chose not to read it back.

etc.

Oikawa Toru's love potion has expired now, right?

Thinking of this, Bai Lu suddenly got up from the bed, she counted the days on her fingers, when Hesu met Oikawa Toru by chance, the other party's expiry date was less than a few days left.

Logically speaking...

After the camp is over, it should disappear completely.

Now that the potion has failed, why can he still send text messages to himself with a sense of humor and a smile?

"System: hee hee."

"System: After all, this item is stuck with a bug. The player has been thinking about the strategy character No. 7 for a year and a half."

"..."

Suddenly there is a bad feeling.

Bai Lu pursed his lips, silently opened the favorability summary panel, did not go through the more than 20 statistical tables, and directly set his sights on the seventh place.

Oikawa Toru Favorability: 99.9%

...She was the one who was sorry for that guy.

The effect of the love potion disappeared as if it hadn't disappeared. Bai Lu thought that the value would be reset to zero, and even if it wasn't reset, it would return to about 73% of the state before the other party took the potion.

The girl pondered for a few seconds, then turned on the phone and replied to Oikawa Toru's message——

"Want to love volleyball: cheer each other on."

"Oikawa Toru: Mmm~"

Unlike Bai Lu's reflection arc length, Oikawa Toru on the other end of the phone responded very quickly.

"Oikawa Toru: Speaking of which, did Sagi-chan change her ID?"

"Oikawa Toru: Wanting to love volleyball is not the same as your impression."

Does this guy actually remember the name of her previous Line...

Mingming has been left alone all the time, and has not agreed to the friend request.

"I want to love volleyball: Because I joined the volleyball club, I want to try to like volleyball."

"Oikawa Toru: So do you like it now?"

...

The air was suddenly quiet.

Bai Lu stared at this sentence with lowered eyes, and after a few seconds of silence, slowly typed two words on the keyboard.

"Want to love volleyball: okay."

do you like it?Can't tell.

She has no sense of substitution in playing volleyball, and her focus is on thinking about the data of the players. When watching the game, Bai Lu's focus is on MB's physical strength and endurance, whether there is any change in the first and second hit points, andHow the opponent compares to judge whether you can win.

After all, "holographic" is different from computer games. The computer's winning and losing system will be automatically loaded and judged.

Having said that, she is happy that the simulation operation is coming to an end and the team is upgrading step by step.

There are a total of 3 days in the IH qualifiers, and the success or failure depends entirely on the day after tomorrow, which is also related to my fate to go home.

Oi Chuanche at the other end of the line seemed to be chatting with the girl casually, and his tone of voice was similar to his usual impression, but Bai Lu felt a little impetuous from it.

Just like meeting for the first time.

"Oikawa Toru: Sagi-chan, did something happen that made you fall in love with volleyball?"

Looking at the latest message sent by the other party, she squinted her eyes, and typed what she wanted to say with her chin resting on her hands.

"I want to love volleyball: Yaya shy jpg."

"I want to love volleyball: Kageyama's jumping serve is so handsome."

...

The girl sent out this reply, and Oikawa Toru suddenly fell silent.

His chat box keeps showing "the other party is typing", and he seems to keep deleting and deleting the edited words. The favorability level that should have been frozen at 99.9%, which is not easy to move, suddenly and violently goes up and down.stand up.

Stupid.

Bai Lu showed no expression and sent a new message before the other party replied completely.

"I want to love volleyball: Oikawa-senpai, are you gone?"

"Want to love volleyball: then I'm going to sleep, good night."

After confirming that the transmission was completed, the girl ruthlessly closed the phone.

So, her teammates can't comfort her... She doesn't want to enlighten tomorrow's opponents.

It is best to disturb this guy's mind, don't underestimate the competitive relationship between opponents.

As long as you win the game tomorrow.

She can abandon the unavoidable guilt, the things she was forced to do, the digitalized emotions of the teenagers, everything in this false world, and return to reality.

Everything will end.

On June 3, Wu Ye High School.

The members of the volleyball club got on the air-conditioned bus that Bai Lu and Mr. Xiao Wu connected with each other early, and with the comfortable air conditioner blowing, they eagerly arrived at the Sendai Gymnasium.

Shimizu Jiezi was in charge of registering with everyone in the gymnasium, and Bai Lu temporarily stayed in the bus to check if there was anything left behind.

After confirming, she left the bus, just in time to see a noisy place near the gate.

"Senior Oikawa! Come on for the competition!"

"ah!"

"Senior Oikawa, we are here to cheer for you!"

"..."

Bai Lu took a quick glance and found a tall, handsome boy with brown hair surrounded by girls from a long distance away.

His handsome cheeks are almost impeccable: "Sorry, sorry, thank you, can you let me go first?"

"Oikawa-senpai, this is the chocolate chip cookie I made, can you try it?"

"Eh, made just for me? Thank you."

With his back turned to this side, Oikawa Toru responded to the girls around him one by one with a smile, but unlike what he imagined, he didn't accept the cookie while saying thank you, but turned on his mobile phone.

"Well, do you want to ask 'her' to make a copy for me too..."

The words that seemed to be whispered were like a heavy blow, and the girl closest to him was hit hard. She easily glanced at the screensaver photo on the boy's phone, and with just one glance, she was instantly pushed back.

"Well, what a beautiful girl...the levels are not at the same level at all."

"What?!"

"Sure enough, the rumor that Senior He Chuan has a girlfriend, is it true?"

Everyone retreated in shock, and Oikawa Toru, who was stuck in the middle and couldn't move, finally got free.

Bai Lu: "..."

There are many slots and no mouth.

Her eyelids twitched, and she looked away as if she hadn't seen it, but an option suddenly appeared in front of her.

"System: On the second day when I came to Sendai Gymnasium, I accidentally found at the door that it was my opponent and my childhood sweetheart, Oikawa-senpai. Do you decide?"

A. Come up to say hello

B. make a mockery

C. Pretend to fall to get his attention

D. None of my business, leave

...

leave.

Bai Lu, who focused all her attention on the competition, chose D without hesitation. The gray and white environment in front of her regained its color, just when she was about to enter the gate of the gymnasium.

"Are you... are you, Bai Lu?"

Um?

The voice that called him was very deep, and there was a trace of hesitation in the low voice. Bai Lu subconsciously turned around and found that the speaker was also wearing a mint green and white sportswear.

The other party has a brown hedgehog head, healthy wheat-colored skin, a tall figure with an upright and tough aura, but his tone reveals a trace of uncertainty.

"Iwaizumi...senpai?"

Bai Lu looked shocked.

The other party was followed by a row of unfamiliar but familiar boys, saying that they were unfamiliar because she did not know them, and familiar because Bai Lu not only knew them in advance, but also the other Raiders characters in Aoba City West... She even had already been in Shiratori ZeIt was unlocked by accident.

"Well, long time no see."

If remember correctly, Iwaizumi is different from Oikawa Toru, the two of them have not met yet.

"Ah, long time no see." Iwaizumi had a complicated expression on his face. He seemed to have something to say to the girl he hadn't seen for a long time, but he endured it and turned around to let other teammates go in first. When he looked at Bai Lu again, his voice soundedStained with helplessness: "I heard that guy Oikawa talk about you."

"Honestly, you're fine."

He was really worried when he suddenly passed out after leaving his home and has not been heard from since.

"Um……"

"what? What?"

The conversation between the two was suddenly interrupted by a frivolous voice. Oikawa Toru, who was supposed to be entering the gymnasium, ran over at some point and got in the way between them.

"Little Yan secretly talked with Xiaolu behind my back, so sad—"

His handsome cheek pouted in aggrieved way.

"ah!?"

"Sorry sorry, just kidding."

Oikawa Toru stepped back quickly, his expression returned to normal. have to say that when he doesn't deliberately make some frivolous and playful expressions, the calm and clear tall shadow can give people an invisible sense of oppression from top to bottom.

"Sagi-chan, you look good in anything, even black sportswear like the little crows..."

"Today, I'll show you."

"Who's jumping hair is better, me or Xiao Feixiong?"

To be honest, Bai Lu didn't take Oikawa Toru's words to heart.

As the team manager and a member of the support team, of course she cannot be disturbed by her opponents. All she cares about is winning or losing the game. As long as she wins today's match, today and tomorrow...

Then go home.

Everyone has already analyzed the team in Aoba Castle West. According to Hinata Xiangyang, they played a practice match before Bai Lu joined.

There are no outstanding members in the entire team, nor are there any talented players. There are some Oikawa Toru skills that can give full play to the strength of all players.

Their level is also Level 4.

With the precedent of Date Industry ahead, it is also Level 4, Bai Lu is not so nervous anymore.

Wu Ye's offense and response are all valuable weapons that have been sharpened. Even on the field, they are constantly learning and evolving.

Everyone burns with the desire to win.

However……

All good thoughts were shattered.

Wu Ye vs. Aoba Josai, there were 3 rounds of matches, even if the last round was dragged to a score of 30 points or more, it was still undeniable that they lost the game with a score of 1:2.

At the last moment, what Bai Lu was worried about finally happened.

Tobio Kageyama and Hinata Xiangyang's "Weird Special Attack" was completely seen through, and the three people from Aoba City West blocked their net, completely blocking their final attack——

When came back to senses, the ball had already fallen to the ground.

"Loading.....Loading..."

[System: "Fly! Wu Ye Volleyball Club" simulated business task trigger node detected, is judging the IH game...】

"System: Judgment succeeded, mission failed."

It's over.

It's all over.

Bai Lu looked at the words "Mission failed", and her light pear-colored eyes lost all light. She took a few steps back and sat down on the chair in a state of exhaustion.

...

She didn't know how she was called by everyone and left here.

Those efforts to wipe the floor, wash dirty clothes, and stay up late to sort out team data in the club have all come to naught, even if they were faintly excited about being able to go home the night before, interfering with Oikawa Toru's actions, forThe chuckle and laziness that relieved a little without using the strategy...

All became a good joke.

Why don't you want to stay here, why abandon all the guilt in your heart, she is... like a joke.

"Okay, after the race, it's time to replenish muscle energy."

Coach Wuyang Xixin's voice came to his ears in a haze, and it was very clear in the quiet atmosphere. He clapped his palms and ordered a very sumptuous meal for everyone: "Eat, let go and eat."

Scattered and crisp chopsticks sounded immediately after.

Bai Lu didn't move his chopsticks.

She completely, didn't have the strength to pick up the pair of chopsticks that belonged to her.

Ah...does this really belong to her?

No, it's just a pair of chopsticks that belong to the game world.

The surroundings were gradually choking, and the boys who lost the game shed tears one by one. The atmosphere at the table was extremely heavy, and everyone was blowing their noses while eating the sumptuous meals on the table.

It was as if he wanted to swallow all the lost past and experience, and make new preparations for the future and tomorrow.

Only Bai Lu, who was sitting on the edge, and Hotaru Tsukishima, who had the same low breath, didn't cry.

... She has no tomorrow.

So, why me?

There are so many people in the world, so many real lives, and original families who are really unfortunate. People who want to escape, why... choose her?

Bai Lu stared at the rice in front of him, but his stomach was churning. For some reason, he didn't have the appetite to eat it at all.

She just wants to throw up.

The nausea emanating from the bottom of her heart surrounded her whole body, making her want to retch out of control.

What did I do wrong?

Obviously living in a happy and happy family loved by everyone, why was he forced to travel through time, seeing his mother suffering, living alone, and attacking the people around him like he was going crazy from being tortured.

After doing so much, and swearing to hide the excitement of leaving here, in the end it was just a fool.

She clearly... just wants to go home.

"Hello……"

Seeming to have noticed something abnormal about the girl, Hotaru Tsukishima who was sitting next to her put down his chopsticks, frowned slightly and looked at Bai Lu: "What's wrong with you."

The nausea that was about to overwhelm the whole body filled his throat, and Bai Lu couldn't even hear what Hotaru Tsukishima who was sitting next to him said.

"Cough, cough, cough..."

She lowered her head, allowing the light-colored Liuhai/bangs to block the expression on her face, cold sweat streaming down her forehead.

"Hello?"

Hotaru Tsukishima's eyebrows furrowed immediately, and he raised his hand to touch her arm.

Can't hear clearly.

I can't see their mouths opening and closing.

Bai Lu who was touched only felt that the feeling of death that he had experienced in Shiratori Ze had come back. He could not respond to the other party with words, his body could not move a step, his chest was tightening rapidly and he was suffocating, and his heart seemed to be gouged out by a knife.It hurts so much want to scream.

it hurts.

"Cough... um..."

Cold sweat covered her forehead, she covered her mouth uncontrollably, gulping in the oxygen in the air, her clogged breathing made the girl subconsciously hold onto the edge of the table.

When her hand was taken off, it was already stained with blood.

Blood was also dripping from the nose.

There seemed to be chaos around, some people stood up directly, some people were shouting 119, all kinds of noisy voices filled the restaurant, echoing in the blurred ears.

What happened to the volleyball team later, Bai Lu no longer knows.

She fainted directly on the dining table.
