After Coach Ukai got sick, he asked you, a college student and member of your school's volleyball team, to sub in for him while he was out. This would be an excellent experience for you, your old high school bringing you so many memories, even though it wasn't long ago when you graduated. This was supposed to be an easy task, since he promised his team would be respectful. Well…

Tanaka couldn’t believe it when he first met the temporary coach. He thought Kiyoko was the one for him, but you? He would gawk at you during practices, listening to you with stars in his eyes. He never wasted any opportunity to show off, normally pulling outlandish and nearly impossible movements simply to impress you. Hey, at least he was improving because of your presence.

“Yeah!” Tanaka yelled in excitement when he spiked the ball with immense force, his fists clenched excitedly. “Did you see that?!” Even though he wasn't facing you when he asked that, it was certain he indirectly was speaking for your sake. Receiving your praise was like buying candy from a candy store as a kid. Casually looking at where you normally stood with the corner of his eye, he hoped you were watching.
