Chapter 7 Curry and Rice

The revolving sliding door automatically sent the guests in and out. Iikawa Haruka and Kageyama Tobio sat face to face in the restaurant, looking into each other's eyes.

As early as the night when Iikawa Toru came back with a bruised face, she sent a message on Line to ask Kageyama out for dinner.

No matter what, she needed to apologize to her brother for his behavior. In addition, she had a little selfishness.

Facing this immature and clumsy boy, she always wanted to help him a little.

Sometimes when she looked at the boy who was always alone, she couldn't help but want to get closer to him.

Iikawa Haruka took the lead in breaking the silence facing the slightly restrained boy sitting opposite her: "Do you want to eat anything? You're welcome, just order whatever you want."

She pointed her nimble fingers at the special curry on the menu: "Would you like to try this?"

Then, she asked tentatively: "Or this?"

She found that Kageyama Tobio stayed on the curry page for a longer time, and she smiled knowingly: "Hello, please give me a special curry, thank you." She had said long ago that this child had a pair of eyes that could speak.

A halo flashed in Kageyama Tobio's eyes, and it felt like the senior knew everything, even that he liked curry.

Ishikawa Haruka looked at the boy with neat bangs opposite him: "Toru lost control of his emotions the day before yesterday, and I'm sorry for giving you bad memories!"

"I apologize to you, I'm so sorry!"

Kageyama Tobio's pupils trembled: "It's okay, this kind of thing is not a big deal." The senior sister actually invited him to dinner just to apologize, but in fact it was not a big deal, because he was used to it. Ishikawa Haruka

pursed his lips a few times and looked deeply into the blue eyes of the boy in front of him: "How can it be nothing, I won't ask you to be more tolerant, nor do I have to ask you to forgive him. I just think that I need to say sorry to you about this matter."

This was the first time that Ishikawa Haruka saw that the deep blue sapphire was not flawless. She saw that there were several cracks on the surface of the dazzling crystal.

It was not the kind of densely packed and mottled net, but the kind that was easy to ignore if you didn't look carefully, but if you looked carefully, you would find that the cracks were gradually advancing in depth.

She continued, "Don't get used to this kind of thing. You have the right to be angry."

"You have to know that you are not wrong. Don't get used to it and don't think that there is something wrong with you. Do you understand?"

How can a person get used to this kind of thing? She could probably imagine that this child might have been walking alone with a volleyball all the way. In the collision with the world, he was forced to walk alone on this road in an extremely lonely manner.

However, the boy who said he was used to it, the cracks in his eyes were still clearly visible at this moment.

The girl's gentle words echoed in Kageyama Tobio's mind, without stopping for a moment.

The girl's voice came with a large dark cloud, making the gradually drying land in the boy's heart meet with sweet dew after a long time.

Kageyama Tobio's bony fingers tightly grasped the hem of his sportswear, and the veins on his knuckles protruded. The voice was hooked at the end of the tone: "Well, I know."

Oikawa Haruka's lips slightly lifted, wanting to say something else. However, the waiter brought the two people's meals to the table.

She pushed the curry towards Kageyama with her fingers and said with a smile: "Hurry up and eat. As a junior high school student who is still in the growth period, your stomach should be growling!"

Kageyama Tobio's eyes sparkled, and his attention was attracted by the rich curry.

"Yes, I'm eating!"

Iikawa Haruka smiled and the two of them ate silently. Although they never said a word, the atmosphere was inexplicably harmonious.

Kageyama Tobio puffed his cheeks and ate one spoonful at a time, like a squirrel swallowing.

Such Kageyama couldn't help but make people feel soft-hearted. When she mentioned Toru, there was no trace of gloom in his eyes. Even though he was treated badly by Toru, he never hated his brother.

After the meal, the two waved goodbye. Iikawa Haruka thought of something, took a few steps back, and his eyes as clear as shallow water suddenly appeared like water light: "In the finals, you will meet the senior Ushijima who is known as the genius. You must take a good look, you will definitely meet in high school." That was also a famous genius, and it was also the nightmare that Toru had always wanted to break.

Thinking about what Haruka Ishikawa said, Tobio Kageyama returned home, playing with his phone in his hand, his eyes wandering with the movement of his fingers.

Finally, he opened Line and changed "kind-hearted person" to "guardian angel".

When he was in elementary school, he could vaguely sense that there was a barrier between himself and the people around him. Although everyone in the club would greet him, they didn't like to be too close to him.

Now in junior high school, he also knew that Oikawa-senpai rejected him. When he had a conflict with Oikawa-senpai, he knew that no one would be willing to stand behind him.

Although Iwaizumi-senpai would speak for him every time, he knew that it was only because of Oikawa-senpai.

However, now it seems that there is no one behind him. Senior Oikawa always appears behind him and always helps him.

This is the first time that a voice speaking for him came from behind him. From getting lost at school to encountering a vending machine, and helping him study, and this time... he seems to have a guardian spirit.

On the other side, Haruka Ishikawa, who had just returned home, sat in the courtyard with Toru Ishikawa. Toru Ishikawa had just finished practicing and was sitting next to Haruka Ishikawa, panting.

Haruka Ishikawa covered Toru Ishikawa's head, which was wet with sweat,

with a towel: "Tetsu, you're such a bastard." Toru Ishikawa pulled the towel off and shouted sideways: "Huh?"

Haruka Ishikawa frowned and continued to cover his head with the towel: "The finals are coming soon, you should at least cheer up! Also, don't be a slave to your emotions."

Toru Ishikawa twisted his mouth: "Tsk! I know!"

Haruka Ishikawa didn't know what to say to the two of them. Whether right or wrong, she didn't want to say something self-righteous in front of the other party.

She could say that Toru Ishikawa was wrong for almost hurting Kageyama, but could she say that his attitude towards Kageyama was wrong?

No. For the brother who grew up with her, she knew too well where his attitude towards Kageyama came from. She also knew what the appearance of a genius meant to him, so she was unwilling and unable to talk to herself from a God's perspective.

Oikawa Haruka suppressed the emotion in his eyes: "I will go to watch your game, but don't let Ushijima-senpai kill you before I get there."

Oikawa Toru couldn't bear it anymore after hearing this. He struggled to get up and pulled off the towel on his head, his eyes widened: "How is this possible! Do you want me to win or lose?"

He really didn't know how his sister could have such a gentle voice but such cold words!

Oikawa Haruka laughed so hard that she left Oikawa Toru behind her ears and went into the living room.

Although he treated Kageyama badly, he acquiesced to his cheating.

Her brother didn't want to be caught up by the genius and was afraid of Kageyama who was a genius, but as a senior, he acquiesced to this behavior when he saw Kageyama cheating.
