The Birth of A Volleyball Legend

2011. That was when earthquake and tsunami hit Japan, changing thousands of lives. And Kobayashi Yuki is just one of them. A month ago, he was just a normal boy, graduating from a small middle school in Fukushima and was excited to go to the high school. However, the disaster changed his life. He lost both parents, not because they died, but because they were still missing until now. He lost his home. He lost his friends. He lost his school. He lost everything. Having no choice, he moved to Tokyo, to a small, new orphanage to accommodate victims of the disaster who didn't have any home or wanted to change their lives in the biggest city in Japan. In his mind, all he wanted to do was enter a normal high school, do a part-time job, make some money to help the orphanage, and maybe if he were lucky enough he could be admitted into a good university with a scholarship. However, one challenge from the volleyball team and one half-Italian blonde boy turned everything upside down. Now, he was trapped inside the crazy team, being dragged into the mess. Inter-High. National Tournament. Volleyball. Those three words kept spinning around his life as he entered a crazy high school life. Can he strive in the place where he was unfamiliar with? Would he be a good volleyball player? And what does the future hold for him?

Riku's Invitation (IV)

As they enjoyed the meals in front of them, Yuki couldn't help but feel strange. Even though the scenery was gorgeous, even though the food was delicious, and even though the atmosphere was so peaceful, he still found something strange here. It was too quiet for his liking.

He had lived together with the children for about two months, and he knew based on his experience that good food would always make them crazy. However, this time, no matter how appealing the food in front of them, there was no sound here. Everyone was so focused on their own, trying to maintain their well-mannered. Hell, even Mai who was the smallest and usually ate the food messily was now concentrating her best to not make a mess, furrowing her brows while she tried to copy Aiko's movement to cut the steak from her plate.

This situation was way too formal, and Yuki couldn't help but take a glance at the host family who was the reason why everyone was so stiff right now.
