Yuuki can't sleep. She is bombarded with the thoughts of her moment with Kazumi. She blushed and her face gradually become red. She lost track of her mind and starts daydreaming briefly. She snaps back to reality after imagining her holding Kazumi's hands. "Why did I even do that?" Yuuki decided to go out and buy coffee on the vending machine. In there, She saw Aoi also buying. "You can't sleep also Aoi?" Aoi replies to her "Yeah." They sat on the bench beside vending machine.
[Yuuki]: Why are you still not sleeping?
[Aoi]: Just thinking some things.
[Yuuki]: I heard some rumors about you two going out.
[Aoi]: That's not true even in slightest. I don't even know why he is doing this and that.
[Yuuki]: I noticed that Kyousuke suddenly changed. Kazumi too.
[Aoi]: It's either Kazumi influenced Kyousuke, or Kyousuke influenced Kazumi. They are bestfriends after all.
[Yuuki]: I know this is imprudent for me to ask but, What if he changed because you're time is running out.
Aoi looks distraught. And suddenly cry. "If he changed just because of that, Then why he didn't give me that when we i still have time? That idiot! If only he understands my intentions that time. Only if didn't do---. Yuuki hugs her. "It's okay. It's not your fault." Aoi hugs her back and released all of her thoughts on Yuuki while Yuuki is patting her head. "How dare he do this now, How dare he came back to me like this after everything that's happened. I know it's my fault but, Why you are making me feel this. I'm happy. But, It also hurts."
*6:00am*
Misato and Naegi went room by room to wake everyone. "Oiii, Wake up it's already morning." Mizuki and Kentaro is cooking breakfast. Yuuki and Aoi was still sleepy but wakes up anyways. After Yuuki fixed her bed, She went to Aoi. Aoi's eyes are still red when Yuuki saw her. And stopping briefly after a few moves. Yuuki asked her if she was okay and Aoi just smiles at her.
Meanwhile, Kyousuke checks on Kazumi and Kazumi is still sleeping. He shouts, "Oiiii Kazumi! Wake up!" Kazumi was surprised and jumped in his bed. He is in shock that he can't process anything in his head. Kyousuke laughs. "What is that reaction? HAHAHA."
Everyone is eating. The breakfast Mizuki served is Japanese curry. Kentaro also gives them all coffee. While eating, Kyousuke noticed Aoi's eyes. "Hey Aoi, Why is your eyes red?" Aoi replies "Ah, The dirt just went into my eyes." Naegi informs everyone to prepare and they will do the activies an hour after they finished eating. Misato gave them the schedule of the activities they will do.
*7:30am*
Everyone went to court while Misato is getting the balls. Naegi and Kentaro starts setting up the net while Yuri is filling all of the bottles with water. Mizuki then starts to divide them into two groups. She divides it accodring to gender. Team Misato vs Team Naegi in a one round volleyball game. Yuri will be the scorer. While everyone warms themselves up, They decided the first server on coin toss. Misato choose heads while Naegi choose tails. Misato toss it a bit high. The result of it was heads, Misato's group will be the first server.
"Give us nice serve, Misato!" Naegi's team got their guard up. "Come, Misato!" Misato starts throwing the ball up in midair. "Jump serve!?" Misato served it so hard that it went to their court before they realized. Everyone was surprised. "Nice one, Misato" Misato's group clap each others hands while they looked surprised. "Don't let it get into you" Misato was serving again. This time, She went into jump float serve. The ball is going in random direction that gives it an unpredictable path. Kyousuke was about to receive it but it suddenly went straight to his face.
It was 2-0 already. When Misato serves again, All of them started to think what kind of serve will she throw. She throws a jump serve. Luckily, Naegi was into the path of the ball and able to lift it up. "Follow." Kyousuke follows the ball and set it to Shin. Shin was already in midair when he sets it. "Perfecto set." Shin spikes it with all of his might and was able to took a score.
It was Naegi's chance to serve. Kyousuke was the first server. He copied Misato's technique and toss it a bit high. When he hits it, It went to Kazumi's head. Kyousuke was startled and immediately apologize to Kazumi. Kazumi let it go. "Shake it off, Kyousuke." It is now Aoi's turn to serve it. "This is how you jump serve." Aoi toss it and hit it with a tremendous power But Kyousuke barely receives it as Aoi targeted him. "Chance ball!" Shin, who is on the other side, runs it and able set it decently on Kazumi. When Kazumi jumps, Shiina and Yuuki blocks him. scoring a whooping three score lead to them. 4-1.
Aoi hits them with another jump serve. Naegi receives it and Kyousuke follows it, setting to Kentaro. Misato and Shiina blocked the straight shot but, They are surprise when Kentaro performed a cross spike. Kentaro was the server now. He purposely serve it normally and precisely target it to the their net as close as possible. Shiina and Misato tried to follow it, But their judgement was too late.
Kentaro now jump served. He now purposely targeted Yuuki. Yuuki, who doesn't know what to do, dodged the ball instictively. The score now was now tie, 4-4. Misato call for a timeout to hopefully lose Kentaro's focus. When they got to the bench, Yuri gives everyone a bottled water.
[Yuuki]: Sorry, For dodging.
[Misato]: Don't mind it. It's just a game, Not a tournament.
[Shiina]: Kentaro purposely served normally at first just to throw us. Then he followed up with a powerful serve. What should we do?
[Mizuki]: Knowing him, He will either do that again or throw a powerful jump serve. So Yuuki, Just dodged it. Trust me.
[Yuuki]: Okay.
The timeout is over. Everyone go to their formation. Kentaro is still the server. He throws another jump serve to Yuuki. When Yuuki dodged the ball, Mizuki successfully lift it in the air. Followed by Aoi's set and finally, Misato blasted it onto their blockers. Shiina now served the ball with a normal serve. Naegi receives it. before the ball reached Kyousuke's hands, Shin run to the other side and jump. Mizuki and Misato followed Shin but Kyousuke sets it in the opposite direction. Kazumi hits it but Mizuki receives it. Mizuke slightly slips her foot so she redirect it to Naegi's court. When it was about to reach the other side, Kyousuke suddenly jumps and hits it hard. scoring another score for them.
It was now Naegi's turn to serve. He serve it normally. Mizuki receives the ball, And Misato dumped the ball to their court. Misato grins at the blockers and said "Look carefully, I will do that next time." Kyousuke was slightly pissed to her. "You trickster!" It was Misato's turn to serve again. Everyone suddenly had their guard up and observe Misato carefully. She jump float served. "Alright, I got it." Naegi overhandedly receives it and redirect it to where Kyousuke is. Kyousuke also dumps it, making the score tied again. "You copied me! Kyousuke." Kyousuke just laughs and went to serve.
Kyousuke tried jump serving again. This time, It reached the other side. But, Mizuki receives the ball again. Misato sets it to Shiina and Shiina quickly spikes it. Using a first tempo. It was Yuuki's turn to serve. But, She doesn't know how to play. She panickly throw the ball and underhandly serve it. It was so high that Naegi needs to look at the ceiling. The bulb was so bright that Naegi can't see the ball properly. He didn't timed it right so he didn't raised the ball and just let it hit the floor.
Everyone praised Yuuki but Yuuki insisted that it was just luck. "That is just luck." She serves again. But unfortunately, She tried to hit it again like that and she uses too much power. making it out of bounds. Kazumi is now the server. He hits it normally again and barely reached the net. Mizuki dives it and saves the ball. Aoi hits the ball up and Shiina pass it to the other side. When it reached the other side, Naegi runs to the left side while Kyousuke immediately sets it. But Misato, Shiina and Aoi reads their tactic. When the blockers jumped to block him, Shin suddenly run to the right side and jump. Naegi sets it again to Shin, and Shin hits it straight. Yuuki was able to react, But she barely reached it so she couldn't lift the ball up. Misato and Everyone was shocked was shocked. "WHAT!?"
