Two days after the training camp...
At the Karasuno gym...
After the afternoon practice...
"I'll be going now," Nishinoya announced, slinging his bag on. "Where's Kiyoko-san and Yacchan?"
"They're at the gates now," Asahi answered. "Be sure to keep them safe."
Nishinoya nodded with determination and pumped his fist. "Of course! Protecting our managers is a top priority for the Guardian Deity."
Then the libero waved off and started walking away. When Asahi was sure that he was out of earshot, he closed the door and said: "He's gone now."
"Okay. Then let us start the meeting!" Tanaka stated then he wrote 'how to prevent Noya from making stupid decisions at the onsen' on the board.
"As we all know, tomorrow is the day when Aki-chan and Noya will go to the onsen."
Tsukishima sighed. "And what about it?"
"In short, it is also the day when Noya will..." Tanaka trailed off as a blush dusted his cheeks, "you know what it is. Which is why we need to make a plan on preventing Noya from doing such things."
"Like what exactly, Tanaka-san?" Hinata was still slightly confused.
"You mean sex?" Ennoshita clarified and everyone stared at him with bewildered expression.
How could he say it with a straight face?
"S-S-Se-S-S-Se-" Hinata tried to complete the word but it only embarrased him every time the first syllable comes out.
"But why should that be a problem though?" Kageyama asked. "Nishinoya-san and his girlfriend loves each other very much so I don't think there's such a big deal."
"For once, I agree with the King," Tsukishima muttered.
"Well given that this is Nishinoya we are talking about, I don't think he knows anything about that kind of stuff," Daichi enlightened.
Sugawara nodded. "Nishinoya likes a lots of girls, even Shimizu. But Akihana-chan is his first girlfriend. Remember when she told us that Nishinoya asked her out because he didn't want everyone getting the wrong idea about them?"
"Now that you mention it, it all makes sense," Yamaguchi added. "Nishinoya-san mentioned one time that the two of them has been sleeping on the same bed."
"WHAT? SLEEPING?"
"But not that kind of sleeping!" Yamaguchi was quick to retort and Tsukishima was smirking at him. "Well... I don't know."
"But earlier, he was checking out for cheap love hotel prices," Asahi noted and everyone went silent. "Eh? Did I say something wrong?"
Tanaka suddenly stripped off his shirt and went into a wild mode. "ALRIGHT! WE CANNOT LET NOYA AND AKI-CHAN GO TO A LOVE HOTEL TOMORROW!"
"YES! YES!" Hinata barked.
"DEFINITELY!"
"DEFINITELY!"
"Tanaka, why are you stripping off?" Sugawara asked.
"What if Nishinoya and Akihana want to do it?" Ennoshita raised a question. "I think we should just let them be."
"But if we let them be, you never know what Noya's gonna do with her alone," Tanaka answered.
Everyone was confused. "Huh?"
"Well, Nishinoya, er... he doesn't have a clue about sex or something," Daichi spoke.
"H-How clueless could Noya-san be?" Hinata was curious and worried at the same time.
"There was one time, while cleaning up the gym," Sugawara narrated, "he found a piece of condom then..."
A flashback of Nishinoya proudly holding up a condom wrap was grinning at them while saying: "My grandfather seems to collect a lot of these. I wonder what these are for. Is this a gum?"
Upon hearing the story, Tsukishima and Yamaguchi were only dumbfounded. How much of an idiot is he?
"What is a condom anyway?" Hinata asked.
"Is that a gum?" Kageyama followed up.
Sugawara sighed and face-palmed in frustration. Another bunch of simpletons.
At the Foothill Store...
Ukai was guarding the shop with a lit cigarette between his lips. He was reading the newspaper when Aoi placed a box of tissues on the counter and recognized him.
"Coach Ukai?" she called.
Ukai looked up from the newspaper to Aoi who was waiting for him to say something.
"Oh, that would be 15 yen."
Aoi handed the money and got the box along with the receipt. She bowed first before leaving.
"You're Nishinoya's girlfriend, right?"
She nodded. "My name's Akihana Aoi."
"Er... I don't want to interfere with your relationship with him but... please don't let him get carried away with the mood or something. We still need him in the team."
Aoi was confused "Um... okay?"
"And if he really gets carried away, please use protection."
Aoi was slightly bothered by what the volleyball coach said but she just bowed again and left the store.
At the train station...
"Manju, did you bring an ointment?" Nishinoya asked. "I forgot to bring mine."
"I have one in case," Aoi replied. "You really got way more bruises this time."
"You think so?"
While the two were engaged in a conversation, Tanaka, Hinata, and Kageyama were spying on them from afar. They were wearing hats and shades so they won't be recognizable (except for Hinata and his orange hair).
Yesterday, the three idiots decided to trail after them while Tsukishima and the other seniors were waiting at the onsen.
Forgive us, Nishinoya. But this is for your sake, Daichi mentioned.
"Oh! They're going inside the train!" Hinata informed loudly.
Kageyama slammed his fist on his head. "Dumbass, be quiet!" he hissed.
Tanaka dragged the two. "Let's follow them."
BONUS:
While inside the train, Hinata's face was planted on the window as he gazed at the scenery outside with sheer delight, gasping all the while when he saw something amazing. Kageyama, on the other hand, was beside him asleep and Tanaka was trying to look for Nishinoya and Aoi.
Why are the two of them not blessed with some height?
"I can already see the sea from here!" Hinata exclaimed.
Tanaka was quick to pull Hinata by his ear. "Stop shouting! Noya and Aki-chan might hear you!"
"But they might not be near us, Tanaka-san!"
"But what if they are?"
While the two were bickering, Aoi was asleep with her head on Nishinoya's shoulder. She was clutching on his arm while Nishinoya was fully unaware of his surroundings, staring at the scenery outside with a dreamy expression and his cheeks furiously blushing.
