[Shadow Day] If a crow were to fly a light year

The streetscape slowly fell backwards.

There are slow love songs playing in the earphones, and the lyrics and tunes are a bit bitter, so the speed of pedaling the bicycle has become procrastinated.If it were three years ago, Hinata would never have imagined that he would catch a cold for the blues one day. Miyagi is much more lonely than Tokyo, not to mention the winter when his muscles and bones want to slack off.

With a 10-minute drive away from the destination, Hinata held his breath and turned the volume up a notch, and simply lay down on the handlebars.

I don't want to go...he yelled in his heart.But I was the one who agreed early in the morning, and I was the one who immediately answered the "I'll be there" when I was urged, and there was no excuse for refusing.The fork in the road ahead was about to turn right, and Hinata kicked hard into the alley, almost shaking her butt off the car seat.

When Hinata received a text message from Daichi's senior meeting last month, Hinata happened to be in the middle of the college volleyball team's practice.Memories flooded in from just a few lines: the black banner, the activity room on the second floor, Meat Bun, Gali Gali Jun, and the Sakashita store opened by the coach.Hinata held the water bottle and covered his head with a towel, and when he saw the words "everyone will come", he almost shot himself with an energy drink.

He grabbed the corner of the towel and touched his face. After a moment of silence, he typed quickly: I won't go, the school volleyball club has—

"Aren't you going? Didn't the relationship between your Karasuno volleyball club have always been good?" The free man sitting next to him poked his head.

Hinata was taken aback, covered the phone and threw it into his pocket, gesticulating indiscriminately, and stammeringly explained: "Ah, it's because... well, my family went on a trip at that time, and I have to cook for myself when I go back Very troublesome."

"Hey, it's rare for Hinata to cover the phone. Is there a secret? Sorry, sorry."

Hinata paused, touched the back of his head, and said with a sneer, nothing, but you just caught the ball just now, it was really handsome, and you caught it with a "boom".

Of course there are.What kind of things boys can do and what kind of things they have done in their hot and hot adolescence are all secrets that need to be locked with a three-layer password.

After taking a shower in the dormitory at night, Hyuga sat cross-legged on the bed, silently flipping through the text message.The black banner, the activity room on the second floor, Meat Bun, Garigari-kun, and the Sakashita store opened by the coach can't be erased from my mind.I didn't send out the content I just typed, and I still have a chance to regret it, but I deleted it word by word, but I don't know what to say at all.Chinese language, which requires a lot of effort in high school, is of no help at all. Hinata raised his hand and wiped his wet hair with a towel, and cursed.

【Everyone... Will everyone come? ] After deliberating for a long time, he replied carefully.

Message delivered.Senior Earth's reply quickly jumped out.

【Yes, everyone, including Kageyama.smiley. 】

Hinata buried her head in the quilt with a bitter face and began to howl.

Why do you have to smile on purpose?hateful!hateful!

As if by some aftereffect, the three-year war of childishness, the onset of adolescence, caused everyone, everyone, to bind the two of them morbidly together.Hinata guessed what Daichi had heard—he and Kageyama fought in the activity room for unknown reasons on the day of high school graduation, scaring the first-year manager who arrived to tears.In that extremely hot summer, the connection between the symbiotic ghosts that even the parties themselves had tacitly agreed to was finally severed. There was no anesthetic, there were many bugs, and sweat was everywhere due to the high temperature, so it is understandable that the pain was so violent.

I don't bother to recall whether Kageyama hit him on the bridge of the nose first or he hit the corner of Kageyama's mouth first. In short, the last two people took a group photo with bruises and tampons, and they were very embarrassed.Tsukishima commented unceremoniously at the time, ending with a nosebleed is really an amazing and appropriate ending for single cells.Standing behind him, Yamaguchi waved his hands quickly, secretly mouthing and said, in fact, Ah Yue was also reluctant.

But in fact the ending doesn't stop there.At the end of the summer vacation, when I drove to Tokyo in the evening, Hinata huddled in the seat with a half-person-high backpack, facing the bumpy and blurred car window, and covered the unhealed wound at the corner of her mouth with a Band-Aid.The uncle who didn't know him sitting next door asked, hey, who beat you?Hinata hid her face by pretending to be the whole bag, and replied hesitantly, a friend.When leaving Miyagi, the car bumped, Hinata slammed his forehead on the front seat, and then kept this posture and sent Kageyama a text message like "I can win anyone's toss", Huya I almost bit my mouth to bleed.

A teenager can do this for a simple "I don't want to lose".You can swing your fists at will, and you can say hurtful words casually, even if you regret it until your stomach hurts, you still have thorns everywhere.That kind of high-spirited fighting spirit is so heavy, and the inertia is also great. Even now, Hinata can't easily bow to Kageyama.He pulled out all his strength and replied to Senior Earth, saying, I'll go, then threw away the phone and collapsed on the bed, and it took a long time before he let out a shriveled "ah".

It's been a long time since I saw him, is there any change that can surprise people at a glance?Although he is already a college student, Hinata's physique and voice are still in high school, and the scarf, mask, and bicycle are all old models. Going there naked like this has no chance of winning against Kamikageyama.Will an extra pair of flat glasses with gold wire frames give people the feeling of "this guy has grown up"?Hinata bet he had one, so he bought a pair like a thief before returning to Miyagi.But at this moment, he was riding a bicycle, and the road in front of him was twisted subtly behind the glass, and he felt so stupid.

The red lanterns of the destination izakaya hang high.Hinata stopped at the side of the road, locked the car, took off the earphones and threw them into his pocket.Losing the bgm made him even more lonely, he took a deep breath, opened the curtain and opened the door to enter.

"excuse me!"

The aroma of boiling chicken pot came over me.

The "Hyuga" with various timbres and tones reminds people of the black banner, the activity room on the second floor, Meat Bun, Garigari-kun, and the Sakashita store opened by the coach.Three years ago and three years later overlapped in a trance.Hinata's glasses instantly fogged up stupidly, but he was grateful for the help of these two pieces of thin glass to help cover the moment of confusion about the long-awaited reunion.

Kageyama was in the crowd, sitting on the side of the long table and looking at him.

That guy looks more like a young man than he did in high school, and his clothing has also improved a lot, so he looks like a qualified Chi Nian.Hinata could feel the air-conditioning whizzing out of his body, and when Kageyama looked up and saw him, his expression quickly transitioned from "this chicken pot is really delicious" to being troubled by a stomachache.

Oh oh, "I didn't forgive you at all" means.Hinata kicked his shoe against the door in secret annoyance.Forgive who, bastard Kageyama.

"Eh - no way! It's been so long, and you guys are still fighting?"

"seriously……"

"It's okay to fight, but if you knock over the chicken pot, you have to be responsible for today's bill."

The seniors rushing forward quickly took off Hinata's scarf and mask, stripped him clean, and deliberately pushed him to the only vacant seat next to Kageyama.

"I don't want it—is there no other place! Yamaguchi? Valley?...Why are you all like this!" Hinata actively protested, but found that everyone glued their buttocks to their seats, with a look of watching the excitement .

The table in the izakaya was not big, and in order to squeeze into the same table, everyone was close to each other. Hinata accidentally kicked Kageyama's foot when he sat down angrily.

Really cool.Hinata was happy.deserve it!

"You step on me." Kageyama held his foot and gritted his teeth.

"Yes." Hinata snatched the unfinished cup in front of him again, and drank it in one gulp.

"You idiot—"

Not to be outdone, Kageyama wanted to pinch Hinata's head, but remembering the fragile pot on the table, he had to hold back, leaving a twitching face.

"Hahahaha, you two! You are not very tall, and your temper is not as good as when you were in high school. Primary school students? Stop drinking, or you will be arrested."

"...I'm dying of laughter, Xiaogu is actually talking about other people's size."

"Senior Xigu only grows older but not older."

"What are you talking about! Hey, you two, do you want to fight?"

There was an immediate commotion at the table.Dadi was quite pleased: "Isn't this a very good atmosphere."

The chicken pot is accompanied by a gurgling aroma.Kageyama pursed his lips.Hinata stared at Kageyama's bulging veined side face, and thought with great reluctance, okay, this time they both performed poorly.

"I don't want to quarrel with you today." Kageyama suddenly said in a volume that only two people could hear.

Hinata was taken aback.But the guy in front of him didn't look at him at all, and immediately went to pick up the chicken again, stuffed it into his mouth and chewed it bulgingly, and it didn't look like he said anything serious just now.

In fact, Hinata is in Tokyo, and Kageyama's university is also in Tokyo. It is easy to reconcile, but the two of them have never met in Tokyo, and they are very patient.Occasionally, Hinata would see this nonchalant face in a volleyball magazine, and new teammates would point to the photo and say, "Hey, this is your setter," and he would quickly turn the page and change the subject to other topics. place.

It's not easy.When he first started playing in college, Hinata worked very hard with his new teammates, and although he worked hard, he always missed the point.The end of puberty is as long as the tail of a comet. When there is no training, Hinata would jog around the field round and round, irritated and unable to find the exit.

"Sometimes you look like you're waiting for something..." the coach said, "What are you waiting for, Hinata? Is there anything you care about when you're playing?"

Hinata shook his head, refusing to say anything.

The whole of Miyagi is a box that Hinata deliberately left behind.The secret of puberty, the black banner, the activity room on the second floor, the meat buns, Garigari-kun, the Sakashita store opened by the coach, all are keys.But he didn't want to say anything.

The proprietress came to add some water to the burning pot.Hinata brought a new bottle of beer from the next table, bit off the lid, filled the glass he had just snatched, and gently pushed it back to Kageyama.

I don't want to argue with you either.he thought.

Kageyama glanced at him, hesitated for a moment, picked up the cup and took a sip, still looking indifferent.

...If you run and jump with all your strength, you can hit that ball.

Hinata finally felt better.He took off the meaningless glasses and folded them aside, bit open a bottle of beer, and spat the cap aside.There was a lack of a cup on the table, so he couldn't wait, so he simply blew on the bottle, and then roughly knocked the bottle on Ying Shan's cup.

"Be alert to me." Hinata's face was flushed red from the alcohol, "I haven't lost yet."

It doesn't matter what expression Kageyama responded with.He turned his head to drink, eat chicken pot, and play games with his seniors. His mind was messed up thinking about the same carton of milk and the same Garigari-jun he drank with 17-year-old Kageyama.

Who would have thought?The secrets perfectly concealed under the word "teammates" go further than everyone's default intimacy, and they are all firmly locked in the depths.No evidence was left behind, no witnesses, Tobio Kageyama, that guy's tightly pursed mouth that never seemed to be happy, except for swearing at each other, would actually be on the bus back from the expedition, while everyone else was snoring At that time, he secretly kissed the short deputy attacker in the team.

...It's dangerous. When the uncle asked who was injured, he almost gave a strange answer.

Chicken pot and beer have already taken over the position of Meat Bao and Galigali Jun. They are all grown-ups, so don’t talk about childishness.Everyone present drank the wine in front of them bit by bit, until finally they realized that something was wrong.When they were disbanding, Sugawara was busy drinking, and Dongfeng was busy throwing up, which made the world burnt out.The second grade used to be no better than the third grade. When Kakashi stopped Tanaka and Nishitani who were talking nonsense and wanted to send the two managers home, he turned his head and shouted, Hey, Hinata, you are drunk Come on, don't ride the bike, be careful to fall directly from the protective belt.

"Senior Yuanxia, ​​don't underestimate people!" Hyuga yelled, took a few steps straight up, jumped up and hit the red lantern in the izakaya with a smashing posture.

Tsukishima and Yamaguchi laughed wildly while taking pictures.

After being chased out by the proprietress, Hinata really woke up after scolding her.Well, what am I doing?He covered his face and squatted on the side of the street for a while.How embarrassing, it was embarrassing from the time when the glasses were covered with water vapor when entering the door, not to mention that Yue Dao, who hadn't drunk much at all, was still satirizing his smash just now with exquisite words.

"It's so noisy, I'm going back!" He couldn't bear it anymore, jumped up, yelled with his back to the izakaya, kicked off the kickstand, and wobbled onto his bicycle.

"Is it really okay?" Daichi dragged one in each hand and asked Hinata.

"It's really no problem." Hinata said it was ok.

"2 times 5 equals?"

"Eh—Mr. Dadi is too good, this idiot can't be counted even if he is not drunk." Sugawara squinted his eyes and pointed his fingers randomly.

"... 10! I will do it within ten!" Hinata blushed because of his momentary hesitation between 8 and 10.

The earth let him go.

Everyone was accompanied when they left. Although Hinata said to leave early, he slid on the road a few times on tiptoe, and was dragged to the last one.He was suffering from the cold outside, and through the half-open door of the izakaya, he could see Kageyama slowly putting on his coat inside, and almost blurted out, "Hurry up, Kageyama, you're going home."

-Sometimes you look like you're waiting for something.

...I really got carried away with drinking.Hinata smacked her lips, let out a breath of hot air, and silently turned around to go home.A cold "Thank you for the hospitality" came from behind him, and then the wind chime at the door of the store was rang, and the door was gently closed.

"Hey……"

——What are you waiting for?

"Hey.

"Hinata.

"Hinata idiot!"

Hinata turned around angrily.

The tall, lanky figure stood beside the red lantern, holding tightly in his right hand the pair of glasses that he accidentally dropped on the table.

"Slow to death!" He could finally scold with confidence.
