The next morning, she had to do some preparation for Fukurodani team. Yachi politely meet the coach and advisor from the Fukurodani school as they welcomed her warmly to the team then briefed on her what she needs to do for the day. Beforehand, Yachi also asked some questions to Kaori and Yukie on things she should look out for while managing the team.

Overall, Fukurodani works like other teams but they needed close attention to their personal needs as some members sometimes needed help with their sports gear or if they have any discomforts.

Yachi also carried Akaashi's neatly folded jacket so that she can give it back to the setter again. She washed it quickly last night before she went to sleep and was thankful that the jacket dries quickly in the morning.

Yachi carried the filled water bottles towards Fukurodani's court where she saw several of their members stretched their bodies while some were playing with their phones. As soon as she walks towards their side of the room, their eyes turned to look at her.

"Oh, are you the manager from Karasuno?" One of the members who were stretching their legs on the ground looked up and greeted Yachi.

Yachi instantly looked at him and greeted back, "Hello, my name is Yachi Hitoka. I will be your temporary manager for today."

The boy nodded and began to stand up, to which Yachi realized that he's taller than she thought when he towers over her with his height as he gave her a bright twinkling smile. "Yachi-chan, right? I'm Konoha Akinori, just call me Konoha. Bokuto told me a lot about you."

"A-ah, is that so?" Yachi was a little bit taken back by the mention of Bokuto speaking of her - but she smiled back at him nonetheless. "I look forward to work with you today." She gave a light bow.

He then patted her head gently, "Hey – don't be too polite. We're actually pretty chill here so just take it easy, okay? Oh, do you need any help in the preparation too?"

"I'm already finished with the preparation so you don't need to worry. Is there anything else I can help, Konoha-san?"

The boy crinkled his nose, "Hmm calling me Konoha-san is a bit stiff so you can call me just Konoha or Akinori, I'm fine with either way, Yachi-chan." He smiles and then surprised Yachi by suddenly poking her cheek, Konoha gasped as he was surprised by the softness of her skin. "Woah, Kaori was right, you are really soft!"

"K-Konoha-senpai." Yachi was a little bit flustered by the gesture, it has only been a few minutes since they met but the older boy has already managed to play with her cheeks.

It was at this exact moment a hurricane flew to her and energetically greeted. "Yacchan! Good morning!" Said person was Bokuto was ever so smiling brightly, showcasing his energy right in the morning. "I'm so excited to have you on our team today! Ah! I want to touch your cheeks too!"

He then proceeds to squish her cheeks with the palms of his hands gently and gently pulled it with his fingers, "Hn! This is the best to do in the morning! Puni~ Puni~"

"B-Bokuto-san, if y-you could please – " Yachi tries to speak through her squished cheeks but the owl captain melted into the softness of her cheeks.

Another Fukurodani member came by and slapped Bokuto's hands away from Yachi's cheeks. "Bokuto. Don't torture our new manager, you're going to make her cry."

Bokuto pouted, "I'm not bullying her! Right, Yachi-chan?"

"Your words are contradictory. Hello Yachi-san, my name is Washio. If you have any problems about these guys, you can report to me if they're doing anything funny to you." Washio spoke in a polite tone.

Yachi gently rubbed her slightly red cheeks after being stretched and squished a few minutes ago. "Y-yes. Nice to meet you, Washio-san."

At that moment, the coach yells towards the member to stretch since the practice will be starting soon. All of them instantly went to their own spots and stretched together in a circle and Yachi sighs at the previous encounter.

"It's only been a few minutes and it's already like this." She muttered, remembering how Bokuto and Konoha had just squished her cheeks a few moments ago.

Then she sees the figure of Akashi walking by and Yachi decided to go to him with his jacket. "Akaashi-san, good morning."

The setter turned around and noticed Yachi. "Good morning, Yachi-san."

She presented his neatly folded jacket. "Thank you for this. I already washed it so you can use it again. I'm sorry for the trouble."

Akashi gave a small smile and reached to accept the jacket. "It's no problem, Yachi-san. Thank you for washing it."

"Hn! Please do your best today, I will be here if you need anything." Yachi gave him a cheerful expression.

Akashi somehow felt his heart feels lighter at seeing the small manager giving her cheered for him with her sweet smile. "I'll do my best." Then he turned to join the rest of the Fukurodani members to stretch.

Yachi understands why the team always go to nationals every year. Fukurodani was on a level that greatly match that title of 'Nationals Team' because their skills as a team were incredible.

She had an incredible time seeing the team play. It was a little bit shameful to admit but Fukurodani was the strongest team she had seen in the training camp so far. She wondered whether Karasuno can catch up to them soon so that they can go to nationals as well.

Yachi kept refilling the water bottles and hand over the towels over the course of time. She also managed to sketch some members when she records their scores in their matches. She didn't know that she was also having so much fun and joy in supporting the members of Fukurodani team. They were open and very easy to talk to, talking to them felt so natural to Yachi that she didn't feel like she was a stranger in their team despite being a temporary manager for the day.

Among the time she spends supporting the team, she was greatly amused by Bokuto antics at trying to keep her attention every time he plays. When Fukurodani was playing against Ubugawa, Bokuto had so many successful cross spikes that it was so impressive seeing how the ball went in the court almost touching the lines on the ground.

'As expected of an Ace. He's very good.' Yachi marks another successful cross spike from Bokuto in her notebook.

"Wohoo another point in! Yacchan, did you see that? Did you see the way the ball got in super quick?" Bokuto yells from his spot as he bounced on his feet, trying to catch her attention.

"I saw it Bokuto-san. You're amazing!" Yachi replied in an awed tone.

"Hahaha I'm the best, hey hey hey!" He made a peace sign towards Yachi to which she could only laugh in return.

'Bokuto-san is very energetic.' She smiles brightly.

When the set ended, Ubugawa had to do their penalty round of drills while Yachi hands out the towels and water bottles to the members.

She gave one to the libero, "Komi-san, here you go."

"Oh, thanks Yacchan!" He smiles as he takes the drink and gulps the water down.

Yachi smiled sheepishly by that nickname. It seems like the name got stuck to her since the rest of the members followed Bokuto's way of calling her. Maybe it was easier to call her that way, either way she didn't mind it that much because they seem to accept her easily as their manager for the day.

"Bokuto-san is playing very well today." Yachi commented as she looks at the Ace with an amazed look. "I wonder how he doesn't get tired when he keeps up that kind of energy all the time."

With her comment, several members who heard Yachi's words laughs. "Well, we're actually lucky that he's in his good moods today." Komi replied.

Yachi perked up at this, "Moods?"

Konoha was the one who replied to her this time, "Ah – sometimes Bokuto gets in certain moods whenever an issue came up. We call it 'Bokuto – emo mode'. He gets depressed instantly and don't keep up his energy because he can't follow the game's flow."

"His emo mode is so annoying, I tell you." Komi nodded in agreement.

This was something that Yachi didn't know about previously, she clicks her pencil and writes it down. "What kind of things that trigger Bokuto-san's emo modes? Does he do it often in actual games?"

"He gets the emo modes once in a while when he can't keep up with his play. There are too many to remember. I can't keep count but Akaashi usually remembers and tracks them all and he's the only one who can usually get Bokuto out of his emo modes." Konoha explained.

Yachi lifted on her eyebrows, "There are a lot of triggers? Hm…are injuries or something alike is what makes him gets his emo modes?"

Komi cringed, "Not really. He gets his emo modes for absolutely stupid reasons."

"Like when he can't show off too much or when the crowd isn't too big. Oh! When he can't make out of the jump serves right. There are just so many that I lost count." Konoha added.

Komi hummed, trying to think of the specific number as he placed his finger on his chin. "Perhaps there are about 50 triggers?"

"50?!" Yachi choked before she faltered. "Eh - I can't imagine that much."

Konoha gave an amused smile, "Tells you how much Bokuto-san is as a player. Well – I'm pretty sure that if he doesn't have his emo modes, he'll be ranked higher than his current position as the national's best ace."

"So his emo modes are sort of his drawbacks too, huh." Yachi nodded in understanding.

"Hyping him up is usually the best way to get him out of his emo modes. Since he's playing really good today, it doesn't seem like we'll be seeing his emo modes soon." Komi added as he sipped back his drink again.

Konoha snickered, "Or just kick his butt if he can't get back to his normal self."

Yachi writes this all down in her notebook.

Bokuto Koutaro, Ace of Fukurodani. Even though he is powerful and very skilled, he also has a drawback called 'Bokuto – Emo mode'. Reasons for this are many. The only way to get him out of this mode is to make him feel better.

Yachi draws a pouting Bokuto on the side of her notes. Seems like this was something that can be useful to her in the future.

When lunch time came, Yachi packs up all the drinks and towels on the side before she gets ready to help the kitchen staff. When Yachi packs the bottles up from the members, Akaashi came to her and asked for the scores for the day.

"Yachi-san, may I see the scores for today?"

Yachi was picking up a bottle when he came up to her, "Yes. Here you go." She opens to a page where the scores were recorded.

Upon seeing the page filled with her notes and sketches of the team members, Akaashi stares at the sketches with mild interest. "Ah…I didn't know that you are also drawing us, Yachi-san." He commented.

"Well…I draw people sometimes when I'm very interested by their poses for an image. Oh – is it uncomfortable for you, Akaashi-san? I can throw the drawings of you away if you want to." She replied, a little bit nervous since she didn't exactly ask for people's permission when she drew them.

She remembered Kenma's expression the last time he saw her sketches of him. Even though he was okay with it, he was also surprised at first. Maybe this time, Akaashi didn't like him being drawn without permission this time.

Akaashi kept quiet and surprised Yachi by flipping to her pages to look at the sketches more. A light sound came from his throat when he gets to where the sketches of him filled an entire page.

"Do you draw often?" He asked.

"I-I like to sketch things sometimes. Sometimes I draw people or animals out of curiosity and my hands just…starts to draw." She replied, however her voice trails off a little due to her nervousness.

He was looking at her drawing so intensely. This feeling was familiar to last time Kenma was looking at her drawing.

"Beautiful."

Yachi perked up at his voice. Akaashi lifted his face from the page and smiled in an amazed expression. He breathes in astonishment as his lips tugged wider into a charming smile.

"These are beautiful drawings, Yachi-san. You are very talented."

"Th-thank you!" She replied. The warmth spreads all over her chest and stomach from the praise. Yachi was still getting used to the fact that people praises her for her drawings was making her both proud and shy at the same time.

"You also drew me for an entire page. That is quite a dedication." He then chuckles, his voice lightly tickling her ears. "So you were staring at me closely during the games because of this."

"Eh? R-right. I'm sorry if I seem like a creep." Yachi stuttered through her reasoning.

After reading the scores and looking at her drawings, Akaashi closed the book with a content smile and gave it back.

With amusement in his eyes, he spoke. "I don't mind having you watch over me closely again, Yachi-san."

Akaashi laughs even louder when Yachi's face bursts in blushing red and accepted her book with an embarrassed expression.
