"Help y/n to bring the drink from the fountain," Shin asked Riseki and managing the other preparation before once again checking the toilet. Why the toilet? Because there is a clean freak called Sakusa Kiyoomi who will decline the practice match right at the very moment if anything is not super-duper clean in and out (nope, nah, he loves volleyball more than you and umeboshi XD). You think he is just a perfectionist who loves everything clean and neat, so you prepare some more things to prevent any bad things from happening. And your Captain is also that kind of person similar to this Itachiyama Institute's ace, that's why you feel like this preparation is just a tiny bit more delicately handled. It's preparation for welcoming guests after all.

Shin gave a little assuring smile and asked his friend with a light demeanor, "Aran, how about the locker and bench?"

Aran coming while bringing some empty bottles of alcohol sanitizer and put them in the trash bag. "All clear. Y/n-san also make sure every single thing that will come in touch with Mr. I-want-everything-clean is shining brightly without any visible speck of dirt." After Aran explained it as clear as the sky today, Shin nodded and went to check the toilet.

Meanwhile Atsumu, "Why? Why I can't sit anywhere? Just ignore that clean freak. Who the hell want to be this restricted just to welcome that—"

"Tsumu, don't fret. Be a good boy. Don't touch anything carelessly, this is for your practice match." You come with Riseki while bringing the drink with a full suit to prevent germs (gloves on, mask on, you tied your hair up in a ponytail). Atsumu somehow sulking right now because he can't freely run amok like usual. Well, it's not like we totally restricting him to do anything. It's just we do some preventive measure to keep everything in check before Itachiyama VBC team arrive. Osamu on the other hand is unexpectedly quiet and well-behaved today. I guess the 'One Down' plan for the twins was successful. We planned to make one of the twins preoccupied with their favorite thing, and we choose Osamu today. Omimi brought many snacks with him as the Captain's order. Of course, the snack is predetermined deliberately by our pretty Captain so it won't make this baby twin get a stomachache or other problem that can affect the practice match. Food is Osamu's eternal bestie and it makes the plan works well.

I took off the gloves and mask, then looked at the team. "They'll come in maybe half an hour from now. Everyone can change to uniform and do the stretching! Come on, go go!" You clapped your hands twice and then go to take your note. The boys directly do your instruction and some of them look nervous, especially the first year. After stretching, Atsumu always becomes calmer than ever. He will be focused on his imaginary training and shut his mouth perfectly. You smiled with a more relaxed feeling. 'He knows when the time to stop blabbering around like a girl talking about his crush.' You giggled and decide to give more attention to the first year. They look pretty worried. Is it because not even one of them becomes the starter player?

You walked to them and gave your sweet smile, "Hey, what is it? Something's wrong? Do you guys have a stomachache or something?" The boys shook their heads in unison but keep quiet despite heard your question. You want to talk to them and encourage them that everything will be okay, they're also the precious part of the team, but before you open your mouth the Captain entered the gym with a direct announcement.

"They're here. Everyone line up!" Shin gave the order and the team lined up as quickly as possible. Some of them look so tense. Atsumu grumbling about something but you can't hear it clearly. 'Don't make a fuss, brat.' You thought while sending a glare to him, followed by an intimidating smile. He flinched after saw your expression and averted his eyes while pouting. Without you knowing, Shin always looks at how you handle the boys. He was really grateful that you became their manager. But set aside that thought for now. Shin, he stood with a calm demeanor as usual, and said—

"Welcome to Inarizaki Highschool!"
