Sawamura Daichi woke up to his texts and messages being bombarded with excitable people.
His friends, in particular, were telling him to have a day off. He was annoyed, then shocked when his boss persoanlly texted him and said he should take a day off.
Worried, he checks it.

Apparently, the sports news section was abuzz, he noted. It seemed like a reporter, whose unconventional questions have always amused pro-players, had stumbled onto a gold mine.
Tokyo VBN had asked players, "who is the captain that influenced you the most?"

A lot answered their idols, inspired to work with them, pushing for the limelight.
However, what was making the sports news abuzz was the fact that it seemed like three--or four-- pro VB players named someone no one really knew.
Miyagi VBN had been elated to know who it was.

Ninja Hinata Shoyo, The Court& #39;s Tactician Tsukishima Kei, and the Renaissance Setter Kageyama Tobio all had one answer: Sawamura Daichi.
The Monochrome Ace Kotaro Bokuto had also said his name, though people suspect it was said in jest.
But still.
He wasn& #39;t a pro-VB captain.

Sawamura Daichi was a KRSN high school captain, currently a frontliner in the workforce.
He was also at home, watching the interview with the widest, tear-filled eyes.

"He was considerate but strict. A true sense of a team leader and player," Kageyama had said. "I was young, naive, alone, and confused, proud but unseeing of others. He made me realize the importance of a team, of compromise and trust. He never mocked my hard work."
"He was understanding in every sense of the word." Tsukishima intoned. "Never left anyone behind, supported us in ways that I did not fully appreciate till we were the leaders of our team. I had him in 2012. It& #39;s no secret to us that he was the foundation of who KRSN is today."
"Are we talking about my whole life or pro? Because if it was my whole life, I believe Sawamura Daichi would be the best." Bokuto grins. "I have never seen someone rally a team despite the odds."
But it Hinata who had confessed the most.
"He was a man... who.saw potential in me." He murmured, uncharacteristically quiet. "I remember him watching our team, and he seemed to track my movements. He was the reason why me and Kageyama were known to be a pair."

"In volleyball, you strive to pass, receive, block, and play," Hinata grinned. "To connect. And he did all that, for us. In my last match with him, he checked up on me before doing anything else. He wanted me safe and healthy."
"The Little Giant was my inspiration," Hinata puts his hand on his chest. "But Daichi-san is the holder of the number one jersey, my friend, my senpai, but most of all," he waved to camera. "My captain."
