00:00My name's Shou Sato. I'm in the volleyball team, but I'm not towering over anyone.
00:05Got this intense camp before the high school national tournament during summer break, but...
00:11Man, even at camp, this treatment...
00:15Drink practice, I'm always picking up balls with the manager.
00:19Maybe that's why the girl I'm into can't stand me.
00:23Let's take a break, guys. Hydrate!
00:26Yeah!
00:27Um, my drink?
00:30Huh? Go get it yourself.
00:32As usual.
00:34That girl's Maya Ono, our manager. She's like the Queen Bee of our club.
00:40Used to rock the volleyball team in middle school, now she's managing.
00:45I saw her back in middle school and was smitten by her coolness.
00:49She's tough on me, but that's part of her cool charm.
00:53But why is she a manager now? She used to be so strong back in middle school.
00:59Hey, this energy drink's my favorite one! Ha!
01:03Huh?
01:04Huh? What's up?
01:06Nothing.
01:08Looks like Maya's still not feeling you, man.
01:11Charao...
01:13He's Charao Yabasugi, and my teammate.
01:16Scored big in middle school, and the coaches got high hopes for him.
01:21Shorties get dissed naturally. Ain't attractive. Ha ha!
01:25Cut it out, Charao. Some guys care about their height.
01:29Shouldn't show joint practice. I think it's about time.
01:33We got a national tournament coming up. Ain't got time for someone like him.
01:38Just ignore him.
01:40Otakura, thanks for saying that, but what he's saying's true.
01:45I'm not getting any love, and lately feels like someone's tailing me.
01:50Really?
01:52Turns out there's a pic of me on Talkator.
01:55That person said, went on a date with me, how cool I looked, even made up stories.
02:01That's rough. But we're at camp. No way someone's tailing you here.
02:06Hope so.
02:08Next day.
02:10Wait, isn't this me?
02:12Today's best shot! Wet-haired show, looking fine as ever.
02:19Wait, someone from the same club is tailing me?
02:23Alright, guys ready?
02:26Can't focus on practice with that pic bugging me. Who's behind this?
02:32Oops!
02:34Watch out!
02:36Oh boy, she's definitely gonna get mad.
02:41Thanks for saving me.
02:43Huh? You're not mad.
02:46Why would I get mad, you saved me. Come on, back to practice.
02:50Y-yeah.
02:52Few hours later.
02:54Alright, it's clean enough, that'll do.
02:57Sorry, I want to tidy up a bit more, so you guys head on.
03:02Really? Don't take too long, okay?
03:08Sweet, everyone's out. Time for some solo training.
03:12Normally, they only let me pick up balls during practice. Gotta hustle here, or I won't improve.
03:19W-what was that sound? Could it be that person who's tailing me again?
03:24Still here?
03:25Wait, Maya? Why are you here?
03:28You know I'm doing laundry with your uniform after practice, right? Hurry up and change!
03:34S-sorry. Guess it's not the usual suspect. Well, Maya wouldn't do that kind of thing anyway.
03:41Were you practicing alone?
03:44They only let me pick up balls usually. I got permission from the coach to use the court.
03:49Why push yourself so hard? You're always training even at school, right?
03:54You saw?
03:56I-I just happened to pass by. More importantly, answer my question.
04:02I want to get better and stronger and earn everyone's respect.
04:06Huh?
04:07When I joined the club, I couldn't keep up with everyone's practice.
04:11That's when Chato said that they better make me pick up balls.
04:15Beginners should learn from watching others practice, and that if we make beginners do what we do,
04:21they might get injured, and told the coach and the others.
04:24But weren't you in the volleyball team back in middle school? Even the coach mentioned.
04:30Fact is, I lacked skills. Other members offered to practice with me, but I can't disrupt their training.
04:37So I'm starting over with ball picking, just like Chato suggested.
04:41Hmm.
04:43To break out of ball duty, I gotta get stronger. I'll do whatever it takes.
04:48That's why I got permission to practice. Of course, I trained at home too.
04:54Then, maybe someday you'll earn their recognition?
04:58Huh?
04:59Plus, there are positions where height doesn't matter. You don't have to worry so much about what Chato says.
05:06Thanks for cheering me up!
05:09I... I didn't mean anything special. Just saying.
05:14Nah, thanks to that, I feel motivated to aim for my goal.
05:18Goal?
05:20Actually, there's someone I admire. I want to earn that person's respect too.
05:25Well, it's about Maya though.
05:28Oh. Is that so?
05:31Why are you getting mad?
05:33I'm not mad!
05:35If that's the case, I'll join your practice.
05:38What?
05:40I- It's not for you!
05:42If there are more better players, better for the team, got it? Don't get it twisted.
05:48Y- Yeah, thanks! Never thought I'd get to practice with the person I admire!
05:55From that day on, Maya joined my training. Feels amazing to train alone with the person I admire!
06:02Practicing together, I can see how skilled she is.
06:05She could have been active in the team, so why'd she choose to be a manager?
06:10Let's take a break, yeah?
06:12Y- Yeah.
06:13Here, your favorite drink.
06:15Did I mention this is my favorite?
06:18You said it the other day!
06:21You remembered! Thanks!
06:23I- It was just a coincidence.
06:26Plus, after the training.
06:28Um, you sure you okay stretching together?
06:32It's important to prevent injuries, right? Come sit on the mat.
06:36W- Whoa, Maya's soft thing is on my back!
06:44Wait, did you just smell something?
06:47Huh? Like I'd do something like that.
06:50Yeah, you wouldn't. Is it just me, or...
06:54Anyway, how's that? I'm not really strong, though.
06:59I- It feels nice.
07:01Really? Then do it for me later, okay?
07:04Are you serious?
07:06Huh? It's normal. It's injury prevention.
07:11R- Right!
07:13That's how we ended up with secret one-on-one training after group practice during the day.
07:20Oh my god!
07:23Held hands with him today!
07:25Talked more than usual!
07:27Being together every day is just bliss!
07:31Thank you, God!
07:33But really, even though I just talked with him, already feeling lonely.
07:38Can't wait for tomorrow!
07:41This stalker's fantasies are going wild!
07:44Who is this?
07:45Wait, always together?
07:47Always together? Could it be...
07:49Otakuda?
07:51Sho?
07:52Oh god, no!
07:54What's up? Why in a rush?
07:57N- Nothing, Otaku!
07:59My name's not Otaku, it's Otakuda.
08:02Anyway, two more days of camp! Let's do our best together!
08:07Y- Yeah, right.
08:10After that day's practice...
08:12You've gotten quite better, haven't you?
08:15R- Really? Thanks to your tips?
08:18I- It's nothing. I just taught you the basics.
08:22It's thanks to you!
08:23But why, with such skill, didn't you join the girls' volleyball team?
08:28You could've played actively even now.
08:31I'm not really that skilled.
08:34Huh?
08:35Sure, we got second in the prefectural tournament back in middle school.
08:40But I realized there were way better players than me.
08:43I've been trying my best, but seeing people way better than me...
08:48I felt like I'd never catch up.
08:51But I think you're plenty skilled!
08:54Huh?
08:55Sure, there are better players out there, but your volleyball skills are undeniable.
09:00So don't feel down!
09:02I think you look the coolest playing volleyball more than anyone else!
09:06Thanks, but it's fine.
09:09Supporting others as a manager isn't a bad thing.
09:12In fact, I enjoy it more.
09:15So, I'm satisfied with the way things are now.
09:18I see. That's good, then.
09:21Well, practice for today's over.
09:23Go change your uniform ASAP!
09:25Yeah.
09:27Thirty minutes later.
09:29Alright, time to hit some workouts when I get back to the room.
09:33Wait, left my phone in the locker room!
09:35Gotta go back.
09:37Ehehehe...
09:39Aaaaah!
09:41Someone's voice!
09:43I'm sure this is the laundry room.
09:45Ah! Love this scent!
09:49Mmm...
09:51So nice!
09:54Huh? Could this voice be...
09:57Ah!
10:00So scent!
10:02So relaxing!
10:05The best!
10:06Whaaat?
10:08Today's full of your hard work scent!
10:12Such a hard worker! So impressive!
10:15Wait, that's my uniform, right?
10:18What's going on?
10:20F-for now, let's pretend that didn't happen.
10:25Shoot!
10:27S-so, what are you doing here?
10:30Forgot my stuff in the locker room, but Maya, isn't that my uniform?
10:35I-it's nothing!
10:37Just get out!
10:39Whoa! Hey, don't push!
10:41Ah!
10:43Feels like deja vu!
10:45I-I'm sorry! I'll get up!
10:48What the...
10:50What are you two doing here?
10:52Why's it gotta be Chato? Aw man, it's over!
10:56Didn't think you two were together.
10:58How come our team's hottest queen is doing this kind of stuff with you?
11:02N-no, it's not like that!
11:04We were just practicing together earlier!
11:06This was just a tiny accident.
11:09You show being alone with Maya, that ain't fair!
11:14In that case, challenge me!
11:17What?
11:18Tomorrow's the last day of camp!
11:20Gonna have a practice match for the national tournament, right?
11:23Whoever wins gets to date Maya! How about that?
11:27That's just ridiculous! Using Maya like that is too much!
11:31Haha! Scared of losing?
11:34To me, the ace, and you, picking balls.
11:37I'm totally fine!
11:39Maya!
11:41Shou's working hard every day.
11:43I can't stand you being talked down.
11:46Besides, I think if you win here, Shou,
11:49everyone will finally admit your skills, don't you think?
11:52And I'll be playing in the match too.
11:54As the one involved, I don't want to just watch.
11:58G-got it! I'll win for sure and protect you, Maya!
12:02Haha! I'll make you regret it!
12:06The next day, the six-on-six practice match, including Maya, began.
12:11The games, one set, first to reach 25 points wins.
12:15Pass the ball to me!
12:17Got it!
12:19Try receiving my spike! Ha!
12:22How can you do that? To the very edge?
12:26Haha! There's no way someone like you, who picks up balls, can handle my spike!
12:31Wait, what?
12:33Maya! I'm counting on ya!
12:35Leave it to me! Ha!
12:38Whoa! Her spike's amazing!
12:41Hey, didn't Shou just receive the ball from the opposite side of the court?
12:46That dude's super fast!
12:49This has gotta be a fluke! Next! Next!
12:53However, Charao couldn't score a single point afterward.
12:57He's good!
13:00The combo between Maya and Shou is just perfect, isn't it?
13:04W-what the? Were you slacking off until now?
13:08Nah, man.
13:10When I was picking up balls, I was always peeping on you, Charao.
13:14What?
13:16I got all your moves down pat.
13:18I know where you're gonna hit next like I'm reading your mind.
13:21Thanks for letting me do the pick up, though.
13:23Because of that, I might just beat you.
13:27N-no way! There's no way I'm losing to a ball picker like you!
13:32What do you know about Shou, anyway?
13:35Huh?
13:36Shou is practicing alone even after practice.
13:39During practice, he was observing and taking notes on everyone's moves.
13:44And even on his way back, he was sprinting and still training at home.
13:49He was giving it his all to get stronger.
13:52Don't speak without knowing anything!
13:54H-how do you know all that?
13:57I've been watching him this whole time, obviously.
14:00Wait, does that mean...
14:03You've been following me?
14:06N-no way! I was just...
14:09Just keeping an eye on you... as a manager.
14:13That's pretty much following, isn't it?
14:16Uh... well...
14:19Y-yeah...
14:22I followed you around because...
14:25I liked you so much!
14:28She just confessed straight up!
14:31I did want to know what you liked, so maybe I didn't hand you the drink.
14:35Was that why you didn't hand me the drink?
14:38I like the smell of your sweat and sniffing your clothes,
14:42and I didn't want to confess for real, so I just daydreamed about it on Tokidder.
14:47Ugh... I'm so sorry!
14:52I made you all worried, right?
14:55I knew it, but I couldn't stop myself because...
14:59I like you so much!
15:05Even if you hate me, I get it!
15:08I'm really sorry!
15:10No, it's all good! Calm down!
15:13Plus, I've liked you for a long time, too!
15:16What?
15:18Remember when I said I had someone I admired?
15:21That's you, Maya!
15:24Back in middle school, I randomly spotted you at a volleyball game.
15:28That's when I fell for your plays!
15:30I've always thought you're cool and collected!
15:33I've been working hard all this time because I admire you!
15:36So, thanks!
15:39I like you, too!
15:42Height doesn't matter!
15:45I love the way you work so hard!
15:49I gave up volleyball because I had no talent,
15:52but seeing you not giving up working hard, that's cooler than anyone else!
15:58That's the first time someone said something like that to me.
16:02So, will you go out with me?
16:05Of course!
16:07Don't just jump to conclusions!
16:09I haven't lost yet!
16:11I'll beat you and snatch Maya back!
16:13Game's still on!
16:15However, despite Chato's efforts, he remained at a disadvantage.
16:20We won the match with a huge difference.
16:23Why?
16:24You kept talking about height so much, huh, Chato?
16:28Even though you made Show pick up balls, man!
16:33After that, Chato was deemed unfit for the team for dragging his teammates down.
16:39Instead, I made it to the regular team.
16:42With the whole team, we're training every day aiming for victory!
16:47And after the training camp, Maya and I started going out.
16:51One day after practice, we had a meeting in Maya's room.
16:55I'm back! Upstairs is my room!
16:58First time entering a girl's room...
17:01Feeling a bit nervous...
17:03This is my room!
17:05S-sorry for the...
17:06Whaaat?
17:08How's it? Cool room, huh?
17:11Th-this is...
17:13I've been collecting photos till today!
17:16Having the real Show here makes me so happy!
17:21Let's get into the meeting, darling!
17:24Is she... okay?
17:26I mean, really?
