บท 255: Game Continued!

Yuki huffed, crossing his arms as he slouched in the corner of the bench. He knew it was childish to sulk over something like this, especially amid the bench players who didn't even know whether they would have a chance to play in this game or not. Still, he couldn't help but feel frustrated.

'One point… Just losing one point, and boom! I am replaced! How ridiculous!'

He knew full well that his failure to receive Ojiro Senta's spike perfectly was the cause of this, which forced Shou to make an emergency spike that was blocked by Haruo. Still, it wasn't fair to punish him alone for that! He still had a lot to offer the team, for God's sake!

"Stop pouting, Kobayashi. You look like a child," Zeno, the team's assistant coach, chuckled.

"Well, compared to everyone else, I am a child," Yuki huffed childishly.

"…Fair point," Zeno admitted, much to everyone's exasperation. "You know that Kawaki-sensei isn't punishing you, right?"
