──A teammate who was listening in interrupts.
Teammate 「Lord Yui is a real heartbreaker, you know.」
Q. What?! Please tell us more!
Teammate 「No, this guy doesn't mean any harm.」 「It's just...」 「He has a few people he calls only at those times──」
「Hey.」
Teammate 「To put it mildly, he's the worst.」 「But when it comes to volleyball, he's more serious than anyone.」
「That's not helping. Get out of here.」
Teammate 「Sorry, keep that last part off the record.」
Q. ...I see. Finally, a message for the fans, please.
「Thank you for always supporting me.」
「I'll keep winning.」
「Come and watch me do it.」

The moment he stands on the court, the air changes.
He isn't asked for victory.
He considers it natural to provide victory.
Yui Gouda.
The young ace the Japanese volleyball world is watching.
Confident. Arrogant. Self-centered.
Yet no one can deny him.
Because he is a man who has proven himself with results.
And today, he finished the match with a win and left the venue.
He takes out his smartphone and picks one person at random from the messages he received.
『Can we meet now?』
A reply arrives immediately.
『I've been waiting ♡』
Yui checks only that and puts his phone away.
He looks up.
──At that moment.
His eyes met with Guest, who was walking from the front.
