Chapter 14, Saitama

THIRD POV

A few weeks later

Guren saw the small captain enter the gym doors and he immediately stumbled his way onto her.

"Captain! Meeting, ASAP," He said as he jogged back to the bench where the team is sitting on the floor, Kuro was waving at Shirome, Ichiro looked excited as she wore a big smile while clutching papers.

"O..kay," She confusedly said as she jogged to the team, sitting at the front where Ameri had saved her a spot.

The coach inhaled and grinned, "Tomorrow, we take of to Saitama. Nekomata-a friend of my grandfather, invited the team to train the schools Nekoma, Fukurodani, Shinzen, Ubugawa, and Karasuno."

Ameri raised her hand, "Um, that's too much boys-"

"It's fine-Nekomata-sensei assured us it'll be alright, you guys would have separate buildings. And having a team with the top 1 setter and ace in Japan, he thinks this is a perfect chance. He did mention their school's setter is a bit sloppy but moves when he can," He cut her off.

Shirome frowned, "I know the setter of Nekoma, he's not sloppy though. He just doesn't like moving around too much. If he did, he might become one of the best setters in Tokyo. He's really smart and logical. His strategies are on point," She slightly blushed and smiled, "He's adorable, too."

The team stared at her, a little envious that she compliment the setter from a soon-to-be opponent team. Guren and Ichiro grinned, and Kuro made a disgusted face.

"I'll meet him soon," He grunts.

And so the day went on with a half day practice, leaving early to prepare to take off tomorrow to Saitama.

Shirome sighed as she laid on her bed, grabbing her phone from her nightstand, she typed.

8:42 PM.

Shirome sighed as Kuro replied, although she told them not to reply. She just tucked herself in her warm covers, made sure her alarm was early and set, and went to a deep slumber.

•

The alarm went off as the gradient head tapped on the off button, slowly sitting up, she sighed.

She noticed that there was breakfast already set on her table in the middle of the room. It consisted of homemade curry with eggs, rice, sliced cucumbers on another plate, and warm chamomile tea.

Taking the clothes she prepared last night, she went to take a shower, and a 15 minutes bath. After that, she brushed her teeth while drying her hair with a clean towel. Rinsing her mouth with water, she wiped her mouth with another towel.

She changed onto her clothes and went outside, sitting on the chair and eating the food.

Finished eating, she went to the bathroom again to brush her teeth and gargled mouth wash.

Applying face moisturizer and combing her hair, she grabbed her duffel bag and left her room.

"Are you off to camp?" Her brother asked as he sipped his coffee while leaning on the side of the front door.

She nodded and opened the door, "Tell mom and dad I'm away for a while."

He moved as she exited the house, "Yeah, yeah."

Reaching the car, they drove to school where the bus is waiting, along with the members.

Guren greeted her, Ichiro smiled, and Kuro went to help her with the bag she brought.

After organizing the bags and teams, they finally drove off to Saitama where other teams are waiting.

Ping!

Shirome felt her phone buzzed on her pocket. Turning it on, she received a message.

From: Mize

President, emergency council meeting. Another school wants to participate at the Charity event we're running next week.

Damn it. The ½n½ thought.

"Are we ready to take off?" The driver shouted from the front, earning nods and 'yes' from the team.

"Wait," Shirome stood as she grabbed her backpack, ready to exit the bus.

"Captain?" The coach asked, with the team staring at her confused.

"Emergency council meeting. This will take almost 2 hours, please go without me. I'll have one of my drivers to take me there later. Ameri, take care of my stuff. Kuro, be there for the team. Tokyo to Saitama is only an hour ride, I won't take long. Coach, Ichiro-san, I'm off," She explained and got off the bus, jogging to the entrance of the school off to her meeting.

The team sighed, kind of expecting that this would happen.

"Tsk, she better come early," Kuro's lips turned to a firm line. The team nodded in agreement, as the driver took off and drove to Saitama.

•

Finally reaching Saitama, the team got off of the bus. They reached Shinzen High and saw boys outside, waiting for others.

The boys noticed the girls and they blushed as some panicked, but some remained blank.

"Ooh, boys," Kira cooed.

"B-Boys...Hmp-!" Haide panicked as she gagged a little.

"T-Tch," Leki turned away, her arms crossed.

Ameri glanced around and saw a lot of boys, she immediately spotted a certain owl.

"Bokuto!" Ameri called out to him, the said boy turning around to look at her.

"Oh, Shinkui!" Bokuto threw his arms up and beamed at her, waving like a madman.

A bored ravenette raised a brow, "You know her, Bokuto-san?"

"Yeah, she's a friend of a friend of mine!" Bokuto said, as he approached the cherry head.

"What's up, Shinkui? Hm, where is Shiro?" He asked, confused.

Ameri rolled her eyes, "I'm fine, but Shi-chan is probably not. They had to make her attend an important meeting at the council as we were about to take off. It's frustrating. She'll come later, though. The meeting will not take that long. It's frustrating," She complained.

Bokuto laughed, "Well, that little kid is a hardworking one. Let's go, I'm excited to play! I can't wait for Shiro to come soon," He said as he skipped to his team, Ameri trailing behind.

The cherry head sighed as she motioned the team to follow her. She can't help but worry for the small captain.
