Chapter 176 Ushijima Jori

“Is that all we need to do here?”

After dealing with the cursed spirit, Geto Suguru took the two to a nearby station.

"Yeah! We'll get back on our own. Thanks, brother. We'll stop here!"

"You really don't need me to take you there again, little girl?"

Xia Yujie had some feelings for this little girl who kept saying that she wanted to protect him, so he squatted down and asked with a smile.

"no need!"

Yeyue refused outright. She was really afraid that Ah Ling, who had lost his mind, would suddenly come to his senses and attack her fiercely.

"OK then."

Xia Youjie didn't force it. He smiled and waved his hand, dragging his loose clothes to say goodbye to the two of them.

[Suguru Geto’s favorability: 45%]

Seeing the boy walk away, Yeyue let out a long sigh and wiped away the non-existent cold sweat.

It’s too thrilling!

Now it seems that in elementary school, not only Kanna was a naughty kid. Although Rei was well-behaved in front of her, he was definitely a dangerous person to others!

Thinking of this, Yeyue turned back with some dissatisfaction and glanced at A Ling, who still had a dazed look on his face.

"?" A Ling looked back in confusion, probably still not realizing what had happened.

"Forget it, it's nothing." Ye Yue was relieved, "Go back, take a bus back to Tokyo."

"Ah."

"Wait, do you have money?"

Yeyue hissed and suddenly realized a very important issue.

"?"

Seeing her confused expression, Ye Yue grimaced and asked tentatively, "I think, at this stage, you seem to be, possibly, probably, incapable of taking me over 300 kilometers back to Tokyo...right?"

A Ling was stunned for a moment and lowered his white head as if he had done something wrong.

"Ha, I see. Sorry, I said that. It's not Ling's fault. I didn't think it through. Ling is already amazing!"

Really?

The little girl's eyes lit up and she looked up at her.

"Yeah! Our Ling is already super super awesome! Better than 99% of his peers! Super outstanding!"

The girl suddenly became happy and came over and rubbed against him affectionately.

It doesn’t matter. If Ling and I haven’t returned by dinner time, Kana will definitely come looking for us.

The problem is not big.

Therefore, Yeyue was not really panicking. It was just that she had no money and didn't know how to spend the afternoon.

I just hope Kanna finishes the fight with Gojo Satoru soon and realizes that she and Rei are missing.

After all, this place is my hometown.

She felt a little emotional as she looked at the environment which was obviously more natural than what she remembered.

"Long time no see, Miyagi. Long time no see, Karasuno..."

She muttered something.

Then he burst out laughing. My acquaintances are probably still in primary school now.

Currently in Karasuno High School there are a group of seniors whom he does not know.

Now that you're here, why not take a walk?

"Is it okay, Rei?"

"?"

"I'll take that as your agreement. Let's go."

Yeyue took the little girl with long silver hair by the hand and groped for the direction to go.

The surrounding scene had changed a lot from what it was ten years ago, and she was not very familiar with the area, so she just started wandering around.

"It's the volleyball hall..."

Seeing the buildings on the roadside, Yeyue's eyes flickered, "Let's go in and take a look."

"Oh." A Ling always obeyed her.

boom--!

A heavy serve was blasted into the opposite court.

"awesome!"

This was the scene as soon as she came in, and Yeyue couldn't help but sigh.

"Thank you."

The boy who had just thrown a serve turned around and thanked her seriously when he heard this.

【Ushijima Jori...】

Staring at the four large characters clearly displayed on the system panel, Ye Yue couldn't help but raise her eyebrows. She was deeply impressed by this young man.

To be more precise, he was deeply impressed by the boy's name. He had always been Karasuno's imaginary enemy and the biggest obstacle standing in their way to the national competition.

She had seen this boy several times through videos and TV broadcasts. Comparing his appearance with her impression, the elementary school boy in front of her looked particularly young, and his chubby face looked cute.

"Ushijima-kun?"

"It's me." Ushijima Wakari looked over, "Do you know me?"

Although he said a question, his face didn't show any doubt at all. His expressionless face seemed quite straightforward.

“Well——” Yeyue’s first reaction was to praise the other party’s battle record.

But then he thought again, the Ushijima Wakari that he was familiar with was only in the third grade of elementary school, and he knew nothing about him now.

"Well, because Ushijima-kun is very good at serving!" Yeyue curled the corners of his mouth and pointed at the ball on the court opposite him.

"Really?" Ushijima Wakari looked in the direction he pointed, "But the ball is out of bounds."

It's embarrassing. Yeyue's mouth twitched. She really didn't pay attention to whether it was inside or outside the boundary.

"But no matter what, thank you for your recognition." He nodded at her with a sincere expression.

Yeyue breathed a sigh of relief, feeling as if he was an unexpectedly simple person. "It's nothing. Please keep working hard in the future. Ushijima-kun will definitely have an outstanding future."

Hearing the first half of the sentence, Ushijima Wakari was about to nod in response, but when he heard the second half, he paused again, his expression a little confused, "Are you sure about my future?"

"Yes."

Ye Yue gave him a strange look. If she remembered correctly, she had heard about his active deeds at the end of the second round. He would definitely enter the professional circle in the future. "Don't you have confidence in yourself, Ushijima-kun?"

"...No, I won't waver." The boy was silent for a while and then shook his head firmly.

"Then this is my wish for Ushijima-kun's future success in advance. In this case, I am Ushijima-kun's number one fan, right?"

Yeyue smiled and didn't take what she said seriously.

Unexpectedly, the boy thought seriously for a few seconds, looked at his expression and nodded sincerely, "Well, then you are a fan of mine. Thank you. I will try my best not to let you down."

This time she was the one who was stunned for a moment. The boy's sincere gaze was too scorching, which made Yeyue, who always spoke casually, recall carefully what she had just said.

"No matter what you do, you will never let me down." She put herself into the fans' perspective and spoke with some emotion.

"Ok?"

"Ushijima-kun is a man with a determined goal."

"That's it."

"Well, no matter what Ushijima-kun does, he must have his own reasons. So there will be no such thing as disappointment. Don't worry, as a fan, I will always be proud of you no matter what you do."

The boy blinked his olive green eyes, a blank look flashed across his face, "I may not be as..."

"what happened?"

"No, nothing." He lowered his eyelids, was silent for a moment, and looked at her again, "Okay, may I ask your name?"

"Ah, well, my name is Yeyue, and the kid next to me is called Ling, and she doesn't like to talk much."

Yeyue introduced herself and did not forget to pull out A Ling who was in a daze behind her.

The latter just glanced at the boy, and when she judged that he was not a threat, she turned her face away and was in a daze. She was so hot, she hated the sun...

"Hello. Well, although you already know my name, please allow me to formally introduce myself. My name is Ushijima Wakari, and I look forward to your guidance in the future."

The boy was very polite, curling his lips slightly and nodding politely.
