Right after that, the game was continued once again. The right to serve was still in Matsuyama Kita's hand, and Nakatani, the team's middle blocker, was replaced by a pinch server from the bench, a nerdy boy with glasses who carried the same air as Yuki usually did in the game.
"Come on, Itakura-senpai! This is your turn to shine!"
"Itakura, if you missed, you owe me a bowl of ramen!"
"Make it two for me!"
"Hey, hey! Don't be greedy! Make it four!"
While the boy, Itakura, was just a pinch server, not a single one of the Tsunemori players underestimated him. No, they knew that not a single one of the Matsuyama Kita players was so simple. The fact that Itakura managed to enter the court was a testament to his ability.
