Finally, the referee blew his whistle.
"Out of bounds!"
The match finally ended. After the match, when Rena Kari and Moka Tamaki were alone together, Rena almost cried. Moka Tamaki didn't completely relax until the match was over, and she really looked like she was about to cry.
"Moka, please stop crying!"
"you too!"
Chizuru Himeragi walked over from a distance, unsure whether to leave or go over. She seemed a little lost, but was noticed by Moeka Tamaki. Reina Kariyu gestured for her hand, so Chizuru went over and was led by the hand to sit in the middle seat.
"Moka, you cry because of regret too!"
"Of course! Scoring makes you happy, and making a mistake makes you feel bad!"
"Oh. I'm sorry. I'm so sorry, why did I make that mistake?"
"That wasn't your mistake!" Reina Kari's voice was very gentle. Everything was over. As long as the misunderstanding was cleared up, everything would be fine. Just put those misunderstandings behind you. The two of you can still be good friends. A little setback and misunderstanding won't damage your friendship. "It's because I didn't suggest a shot you could hit. That kind of shot is really too difficult to hit."
"But if I manage to fight back successfully, we might still be locked in a tug-of-war!"
"Saying such things again and again will not help!"
Chizuru Himeragi, sitting in the middle, listened to the two people's regrets and self-criticisms. She really wanted to run away; this was like a painful, stabbing cookie.
This competition will become a cherished memory and a testament to the friendships forged in our youth.
"Your absence from the competition, and the fact that I caused your injury, made me feel that I should work harder for you and lead the team well, but I still failed. Seeing you come made me really happy and relieved. I'm so sorry for being so anxious to win."
He also felt very regretful after his first victory.
For such a long period of time, Tamaki Moka was under a lot of pressure, and because of her avoidance, all the burdens fell on her shoulders.
This is absolutely not the attitude one should have towards friends.
Even so, Reina Kariu still sensed Moka Tamaki's affection for her, and she did not waver or complain in the slightest.

"If I hadn't come, would we have won instead?"
Reina Kariyu paused for a moment, and then suddenly said those words.
A hint of surprise flashed in Tamaki Moka's eyes, but she flicked Kari Reina's head and said firmly.
"How is that possible! I really want to show you how lifeless I looked when I played ball before you came!!"
“She’s right.” Chizuru Himiro nodded firmly. She was an unyielding and fair person, a fact that Reina Kariyuu believed in; she was even somewhat aloof in her integrity. But that was precisely what made Chizuru Himiro so endearing, something to be cherished.
"Look!!"
There was even a hint of pride in Tamaki Moeka's tone. She was the one and only Kariyu Reina, the Kariyu Reina who came into her world with sunshine and confidence, the Kariyu Reina who could still face the world with a cheerful attitude even after losing a one-on-one battle with her!
Reina Kari is the new world of Moka Tamaki.
It's hard to imagine what Tamaki Moka's world would be like without meeting Kariyu Reina. It would probably be a bleak place. She would definitely have given up and never recovered, instead of freely giving her youthful energy on the court like she is now. It would all be for nothing.
A gloomy world is terrifying.
“Even if we win without you, I won’t be happy or joyful at all.”
"Ok!"
Tamaki Moka looked at Kariyuu Reina and nodded to her.
"Although I lost and I'm very unwilling to accept it, I had a lot of fun playing this game."
"Moka, are you planning to go straight to Aoba University?"
"Oh? Hmm!"
"Well, this isn't the end!"
Reina Kari said to Moka Tamaki, although her eyes were bloodshot, her complexion was much better, and she showed a bright smile. This bright smile was a rare sight, as Moka Tamaki had not smiled recently because of Reina Kari.
Let's play volleyball together again in college!
When Tamaki Moka heard Kari Reina say this, her emotions surged once again, and she couldn't stop her tears from flowing. She nodded, choking back sobs.
"Hmm."
"I said some really hurtful things the day I got injured, I'm sorry. Thank you for not giving up on me."
"It was me. I'm sorry I hurt you. Thank you for coming back."
Once things were out in the open, there were no more misunderstandings. Chizuru Himeragi was between the two women, both of whom were smiling brightly at her, making her feel a little embarrassed. A blush rose to her cheeks, and she gave a shy smile.
"This is all thanks to the Japanese proxy service!"
"Oh."
Chizuru Himeragi was quite flattered as she was tightly embraced by Rena Kari and Moka Tamaki, who spoke with great sincerity and earnestness.
"Thank you."
"Thank you, Hiyoyo!"
At this moment, everyone felt warm and tender. Chizuru Himeragi felt her heart melting. This was the happiest moment of all.
"Hey hey hey!"
"Wow! The Japanese proxy is smiling so strangely again!"
"Rena, you're being very rude! I'm really not feeling well."
"I will get hurt."
At this moment, the others did not leave. Even Lin Yan was led by them to hide behind the building and witness everything firsthand. Lin Yan stood there with an icy expression, while the others tiptoed around like thieves, secretly watching as if afraid of being discovered.

"See? There's nothing to worry about at all."
"Yes!"
The great god and his minister nodded upon seeing this scene.
"I guess that settles one matter!"
“Yes. Let’s go back before we’re discovered?” Further away were Yoru and Onoya An, who were also preparing to leave. Onoya An was always willing to get involved in everything, while Yoru was there out of professional ethics, keeping a close eye on Kari Reina and Tamaki Moeka. Even though they weren’t the test subjects, they were still paying attention to the experiments.
Ye Ming and Onoya An left without anyone noticing, blending into the crowd.
"Oh! Xiaoxing!?"
"Ha! Lo!"
Oogami Kazutomi spotted Onoya An and Yoake and greeted them.
"In general, do you think you can find us in this distance and in such a crowded place? Oogami-kun has really good eyesight!" Onoya An teased. She had a silly, grinning look on her face, and even though Yoru gave her a glare, she didn't back down.
"Even so, this is still too exaggerated!" Ye Ming also said.
Ye Ming steeled his resolve. Since he couldn't hide, he had no choice but to face it. After all, it wasn't anything shameful. He walked towards them.
"Hello everyone.…"
"Xiao Xing and Ye Ming?" Oogami and Shin were surprised to find that Onoya An and Ye Ming were together. Could they have such a close relationship?
The great god and his minister asked in confusion.
"What a strange combination. Why are you two together in a place like this?"
"Ah. No, we just happened to run into each other nearby, so we went together." Onoya An's ability to make excuses needs improvement, but she still had to conceal their true relationship, since everything about the experiment had to be kept from others.
Onoya was wearing casual clothes.
She wasn't wearing her usual glasses, and her demeanor was clearly different from usual. Her hair was loose, and she was dressed very casually.
"Xiao Xing, you look different today. I didn't recognize you at first glance."
"Hahaha, then you shouldn't have called me back!" Onoya An laughed while complaining in her heart. If it weren't for the sharp-eyed Oogami and Shinichi who spotted him in the crowd at a glance, so many people wouldn't have noticed that she was acting with Yoru Akira.
"By the way, are you two dating? Are you on a date right now?" Lin Yan suddenly smiled, thinking of something amusing.
Onoya Anzu had played pranks on him more than once, gloating over his misfortunes. Now it was time to give her a taste of her own medicine. This was the perfect opportunity; Lin Yan didn't want to miss it.
So he spoke.
"Is that so!?" Reina Kariyu asked, her face filled with astonishment. From her surprised expression, it was clear she actually believed it. This was exactly what Lin Yan wanted; it was the result he desired. Meanwhile, Anzu Onoya panicked.
She hurriedly waved her hands in denial. Although it was true that Yoru Akira and Onoya An did have an ambiguous and unclear relationship, Onoya An, despite sometimes appearing mischievous and even somewhat mature, was emotionally clueless, no less so than the sixteen or seventeen-year-old boy before her.

"No! No! We just happened to run into each other!" This was the first time Onoya Anne had shown such nervousness and panic. She tried her best to deny it and didn't want anyone to misunderstand. Perhaps at this moment, Onoya Anne vaguely realized something: that feelings really need to be allowed to develop naturally without external interference in order to truly grow.
Natural is best.
Not force.
Not mandatory.
Lin Yan would never give up so easily. This was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and he was a man who always sought revenge. Moreover, Lin Yan had a keen eye for observation, and with such keen observation, his opponent, a naive young girl, was naturally no match for him.
One key point made Lin Yan smile as he spoke.
"But if you let your hair down and don't wear your glasses, doesn't that mean you dressed up specifically for this date?"
"Really not! I dress like this during my holidays!" Onoya still wanted to explain clearly. Her voice was a little excited, and she was extremely annoyed. She had teased Lin Yan many times in the past, and this time she was finally getting her comeuppance for doing too many bad things.
Stop it now.
Onoya Anzu's heart was screaming, but would Lin Yan really listen? Onoya Anzu was truly at a loss.
"No, that's too suspicious."
"Rena, your eyes are scary! It's really not like that! We were just wandering around here! We really just happened to run into each other!"
Even after seeing this, Yoru couldn't stand it anymore. He couldn't let others bully Onoya An like this. Although Onoya An was a troublesome junior, a junior is a junior, and a senior should still take care of them. Besides, Onoya An was truly driven to desperation.
It wouldn't be fun if the usually cheerful Anne Onoya got made to cry.
"Kari, are you sure you want to stay here? The next match is about to start."
"Oh! Right. We still need to help with the scoring!"
"Let's go, Rena."
"Then we're going back!" Asahi said to Tamaki Moka. He and Inukai Akira's wish was to see Tamaki Moka always smiling happily. Only the two of them knew how important this friend was to them.
"Thank you all for coming! See you next week!" Tamara Moka held Kari Reina's hand, looked into her eyes, and said with a gentle smile, "Thank you so much everyone! I went back to the gymnasium with them."
After Inukai Akira, Asahi, and Tamaki Moka left, Yoru Akira looked at Lin Yan with a meaningful smile and whispered to him, "Well done, Mr. Lin Yan."
Ye Ming crossed his arms and smiled at Lin Yan, as if to say, "Well done, Mr. Lin Yan."
"Tsk."
Lin Yan clicked his tongue.
"Lin Yan! Don't talk nonsense! You'll make everyone believe it!"
"Oh? Did I misspoke? Sorry, sorry!"
Chizuru Hida watched calmly as Anne Onoya and Yan Lin flirted and bantered. Anne Onoya had truly met her match; her face flushed. That very night, Chizuru Hida became everyone's savior, and the three people at the gathering were celebrating this achievement.
"Well then! Let's celebrate that the matter of Hida-san and the others has been resolved." Hida Chizuru truly put in the most effort in this matter and is the most admirable person.

"cheers."
Those present included Ye Ming, Onoya An, and Lin Yan. Since they were all adults, there was nothing to hide, so they drank beer. Lin Yan downed a whole beer in one go, and Onoya An, not to be outdone, downed a whole can of beer.
"I already said, why do you keep coming to my house to drink again?"
"Because we can't drink outside because of our condition, we can't buy alcohol either," Anne Onoya complained. Indeed, minors cannot buy alcoholic beverages anywhere.
Both Onoya Anne and Yoru Akira were already sixteen or seventeen years old and looked like adults, and they didn't have any identification to prove they were adults, so it was impossible for them to buy alcohol.
