Chapter 23: Unfamiliar Couple

The fact that Haruka Ishikawa and Tobio Kageyama are a couple is obviously incredible to everyone.

Chimiya Eureka often asks Haruka Ishikawa out to play during the holidays, but she never found out that Haruka Ishikawa is in a relationship, and that he is Tobio Kageyama.

When the blonde learned the news from her friend, she didn't believe it at all. She immediately slapped her thigh and wiped her tears of laughter and said, "Are you kidding me, Haruka!" It was not

until the three of them sat face to face in the restaurant that she realized that this was actually true! In just a short meal, Chimiya Eureka went from curiosity and surprise at the beginning to rolling her eyes and being speechless.

"What are you eating, Oikawa-senpai?"

"No problem, Kageyama, you order first."

"Oikawa-senpai..."

"Kageyama..."

Chimiya Eureka held the chopsticks in one hand and drew circles on the table with the other hand. Oh my god, whose couple gets along like this! Two people are in love, but they still call each other so unfamiliar, it's really unbelievable!

After finally waiting for Kageyama Tobio to leave, Chimiya Eureka took Ikawa Haruka's arm and said secretly: "Hey, don't you think there is any problem with your relationship?"

Ikawa Haruka blinked in confusion: "What problem?"

Chimiya Eureka covered her face: "Come on, why are you still using honorifics? He even called you senior sister!"

After Chimiya Eureka said this, Ikawa Haruka woke up. Indeed, the feeling of their relationship now is no different from before they fell in love.

That is to say, from this day on, Ikawa Haruka ordered Kageyama Tobio to call her name.

In addition, there is another point that is different from other couples, that is, they don't stick together often.

Kageyama Tobio was very busy after school started, and he was busy with training every day. Ikawa Haruka was the same. She was busy with stock trading, the Blue Prison Project and the student union election. In addition, Ikawa Haruka still lived on campus, so the two had even fewer opportunities to meet.

Although they would video chat, the topic had almost nothing to do with love. Most of them shared each other's daily life and volleyball.

Chimiya Eureka often complained: "You are more like partners than lovers!"

Once, Chimiya Eureka asked her: "Do you really like him?" Iikawa

Haruka thought of the boy's velvety blue eyes and said without hesitation: "I really want to see him shining."

Chimiya Eureka was dissatisfied: "What kind of answer is this~"

She didn't know whether she loved him, but she knew clearly that she wanted to be with him now. She wanted to see the moment when the boy spread his wings and flew high, especially after the boy was no longer alone.

On the other side, Kageyama, who was far away in Karasuno, had been teased by everyone in the volleyball team since the end of the Aoba Castle West practice match.

"Kageyama, this bastard, is not only the youngest, but he is also the first to get out of singleness!"

"Kageyama is really courageous. He dared to fall in love with Iikawa's sister."

"Iikawa's sister seems to be called Her Majesty the Queen, and she is very popular. It's such a waste to be with Kageyama!"

Kageyama Tobio accepted all the envy and jealousy from everyone, and he himself felt that it was incredible that Iikawa Haruka could agree to him.

He still remembered the night of graduation. He was so excited that he couldn't sleep all night. As soon as he closed his eyes, all that came to his mind was the scene that Ishikawa Haruka promised him.

After training, Kageyama Tobio was on his way home, looking at the bright moon in the sky, and he dialed the phone by accident. Ishikawa

Haruka's delicate and clear voice like a stream came from the phone. Kageyama Tobio looked at the crescent moon walking with him and said tenderly: "Suddenly I want to say goodnight to you, Oasmi, halu."

There was a bright moon in the boy's eyes, and the smile on his lips was more dazzling than the stars in the sky.

On Saturday, Ishikawa Haruka and Kageyama Tobio came to the park to play chess.

Every Saturday, Ishikawa Haruka would go to this park to compete with those old people who love chess, and Kageyama Tobio would also come to run and train in the park.

Originally, they didn't regard this place as their regular date place, but there was also Ishikawa Toru who was closely watching Ishikawa Haruka's home.

Since Toru Ikawa knew that they were in love, whenever Haruka Ikawa was going out on weekends, he would ask her where she was going, and sometimes he would even go with her.

Toru Ikawa was very bothered by this and acted like a secret agent.

Whenever Haruka Ikawa dressed up and walked to the entrance, Toru Ikawa would be alert as if he had installed a radar.

If Haruka Ikawa told him that she was going to see Kageyama, he would make a fuss to go with her; if he told him that she was going to play chess, he would let her go.

There was no other way, Haruka Ikawa had to meet Kageyama in the park. One of them played chess quietly, and the other trained silently. Although they were doing unrelated things, there was a special atmosphere surrounding them.

The two of them had lunch together at noon and went home together in the afternoon.

Tobio Kageyama used to go home to take a shower after practice, but now he carries an antiperspirant spray with him. He was sweating profusely after training, and he would clean himself up before sending Haruka Ikawa home.

When the grandfathers who played chess saw Tobio Kageyama, they all clamored to play a game of chess with him. Playing chess to judge a person, they all wanted to see if he was a trustworthy person.

Unfortunately, Kageyama didn't know how to play chess at all.

However, after a few weeks, the old people had a good impression of Kageyama Tobio, and he gradually became friends with them.

In the afterglow of the setting sun, the shadows of the two people were stretched very long in the sunset. The shadows overlapped and intertwined with each other, and gradually their fingers were intertwined affectionately.

In the quiet street, except for the footsteps of a few people coming and going, there was only the shy and dry question of the boy.

"Can, can we hold hands?"

The answer to the question was the delicate and warm touch, and Ikawa Haruka directly interlocked his fingers with Kageyama Tobio. The breeze blew the black hair at the boy's temples, and underneath it were his red and hot ears.

The two held hands and walked all the way to the corner in front of Ikawa Haruka's house. Kageyama Tobio obviously had a short circuit in his brain and was in a downtime state. Interlocking his fingers with Ikawa Haruka made his body temperature continue to rise, and his whole body was red. 

Haruka Ishikawa shook his hand slightly, saying, "Let's just take you here. Go back and have a good rest and pack your luggage." They were going to Tokyo for a closed training camp during the Golden Week, and he still needed to pack his luggage. 

Haruka Ishikawa still remembered the way Tobio Kageyama came back from the first training camp. He said he was practicing a new dribbling technique under the guidance of the coach. She was looking forward to seeing how he would change and grow after this training camp. 

Tobio Kageyama quickly let go of his hand as if waking up from a dream, nodding randomly in response. 

Haruka Ishikawa suddenly approached him, and Tobio Kageyama felt a warm sensation on his forehead before he could react. 

Tobio Kageyama held his breath, and in his eyes he saw Haruka Ishikawa's close white face. Haruka 

Ishikawa asked in confusion, "Do you have a fever? Why is your face so red?" 

Tobio Kageyama's heart was beating like a drum, and he gently took Haruka Ishikawa's hand, then ran away without looking back, leaving only a sentence in the wind. 

"I'm leaving first, no, no fever!" 

For today's experience, the boy who wrote a volleyball diary every day left a monologue to the moon in his diary.

"Today we hold hands, and it turns out that the moon is so warm and delicate."
