It didn't take too long for the three players to nod their heads and accept Hiroyuki's offer.
"Good." Hiroyuki clapped his hand, satisfied with the determination in their eyes. "Now, which one of you wants to learn the floating serve, and which one wants to learn the jump serve?" Kinoshita raised his hand and said without hesitation,
"I want to learn the floating serve." Hiroyuki nodded approvingly.
"I have seen you try to imitate Yamaguchi's serve, and I could tell you did a good job. You have to increase your success rate. But, who knows, maybe with your determination, maybe you will be ready for the next tournament." Kinoshita's eyes gleamed at Hiroyuki's praise.
Meanwhile, Ennoshita and Narita took their moment to think about what they wanted. After five minutes without an answer, Ennoshita decided to ask Hiroyuki's advice.
"Hori-san, what do you think will suit us better?" Hiroyuki thinks for a moment before replying,
"For you, Ennoshita, I think jump serve will suit you better. You are more comfortable with overwhelming the receiver with your power, and your spike technique is just behind Azumane, Tanaka, and Kageyama in this team. So, yeah. I think you will do good in jump serve." Ennoshita accepted the advice and asked for the jump serve training.
"As for you, Narita. I noticed several times that your observation is good, and you are definitely one of the smartest on this team. With the addition of your wicked aim, I think you could train all the tricks I told the team before the drill and floating serve to see if it would suit you. I have never seen you spike before, so I don't know about jump serve. What do you think?" Narita spends a minute thinking about that before he accepted Hiroyuki's advice too.
"Good. I also noticed that the three of you lack stamina." They grimaced a bit. "You are not far behind your teammates, but I am not sure if you will survive in an intense three sets game, let alone the five sets game in the final. Honestly, only Sawamura, Azumane, and Tanaka in your team have decent stamina that would last even in the hell day of day three in the national tournament." Hiroyuki sighed before turning his attention to Coach Ukai.
"You better increase the intensity of the physical training, Ukai-san." Coach Ukai nodded,
"I intend to do that, but I have to wait for all of them to be ready. Azumane is still not at his peak, and if I increase the intensity right now, the risk of getting injured will be higher."
"At least do that for the bench players and Tsukishima, they need to be better at that department." Coach Ukai nodded once again, so Hiroyuki decided to turn his attention back to the three players.
"You heard me. You better improve your stamina or you will not last long. Even if you didn't play too much, take it as an investment for the next year, because you will be the core for the next year." They looked at each other and nodded with determination.
"Good. I will give you the basics right now. Observe it, and if you have any questions, you better ask them now, because I will only be here for the morning training. I will only see you in the morning training, so I hope you will do some personal training to improve your serve. Let's do it."
Hiroyuki spends the next hour showing them how to do the serve. He didn't have a hard time teaching Kinoshita, as the player has already practiced that by observing Yamaguchi. Hiroyuki only showed some tricks with floating serve to increase the success rate.
As for Ennoshita and Narita, he has to show it to them so they could learn it from nothing. Surprisingly, Ennoshita has a good grasp of jump serve. It seems he trained to do jump serve secretly in his first year before he stopped when he noticed an uncomfortable feeling in his shoulder.
"You are lucky you didn't ignore the uncomfortable feeling on your shoulder. If you didn't stop training, you would hurt your rotator cuff muscles and it would take a long time to recover. I will give you more training to strengthen your shoulder and fix your technique so you will not hurt yourself." Hiroyuki said to Ennoshita.
As for Narita, it turned out that he has the best aim on the team, so Hiroyuki decided to teach him all of the dirty tricks and the mind games in service instead of the floating serve. He also has some a concern about Narita.
"You better find something special as your weapon if you want to have more minutes to play. Your foundation is good, but you don't have anything special. Tsukishima has his height and his read blocking is good, and Hinata has his unnatural speed and reaction even if he didn't have a good foundation. As for you, what can you offer for the team to consider you to play? Think about it." He didn't wait for Narita's answer and left him with his thought.
-----------------------
Right after the morning training is over, Hiroyuki found himself standing in front of the Den, watching the chaos that happened inside.
"Alice, don't waste the ingredients! Gather the remaining ingredients to the next box!"
"Erina, stop looking at the ingredients with that disgusted look, or I will have you sweep the floor and wash the dish!"
"Nino, you better stop laughing! You are still far behind them in the cooking department!"
"Stop complaining! If any of you complains once more, I will ban you from the kitchen for the rest of the day and will have you as my janitor for the rest of the day! And don't look at me like that, Sanzaemon-dono said Hiroyuki and I could do anything to you!"
Hiroyuki let out a low whistle, impressed with how Megumi takes control of this situation.
"Hori-san." One of the customers called, "Are those two blondies part-time workers?" He asked curiously. Hiroyuki let out a small chuckle and replied,
"Yes, they are part-time workers from Totsuki Academy." His answer resulted in gasps from the customers who heard him.
"They are from Totsuki Academy and Megumi-san is bossing them around? Wow, Megumi-san really has the gut." Said another customer which resulted in laughter from the others. Hiroyuki smiles at the lively atmosphere, as usually, the Den is dominated by silence.

The laugh from the customers was enough for the people in the kitchen to snap their heads and turned their attention outside. When Megumi's eyes meet Hiroyuki's, the later sends a small smile to her.
"Hiro! Finally, you are here! Come here!" Hiroyuki said goodbye to the customers before he walked into Megumi's office.
"So, what do you plan for the princesses?" Megumi asked in an interrogative manner that Hiroyuki find intimidating.
"Honestly, I don't know what to do about them. It is a café, but they definitely don't need lessons in cooking. I will probably just treat them as normal workers every day and entertain them with Shokugeki at the end of the day to curb their ego." He thinks for a while before having an idea,
"Do you mind letting them follow you when you want to have shopping?" Megumi realized what is Hiroyuki's intention and nodded.
"Speaking of letting them follow me, I will go to the orphanage later. Do you want to join me?" Hiroyuki nodded without hesitation.
"Sure, it would be fun to see the children again." Then suddenly, they could hear a voice from the kitchen.
"How dare you!" They could hear Erina shout, followed by laughs from Nino and Alice. Hiroyuki and Megumi looked at each other and go to the kitchen to see what happened. What they found is hilarious. Erina is sitting on the floor while Nino and Alice laughing in front of her.
"What happened?" Hiroyuki asked calmly, gaining the attention of the three. Nino quickly explains what happened.
"I didn't do anything. The princess here keeps sneering at me, and it is definitely not my fault when she decided to walk around the floor I have just cleaned when it is clear that I have placed a cautious sign here." Hiroyuki looked at where Nino pointed her finger, and he could see the sign.
"It is a lie!" Erina screamed while there are tears in her eyes. Hiroyuki sighed and decided to ask Alice,
"So, Alice, what is really happening here?" The one mentioned looked apologetically at her sister before saying,
"It is like what Nino-san said." Erina looked at Alice with betrayal eyes and screamed,
"I will not forget about this humiliation! Just you wait here!" Then she runs away from the Den. Then, Hiroyuki asked lowly to the others,
"Does she know about the place around here or the way back to Totsuki at least?" Alice's eyes widened at the realization.
"We are here with our driver, so she doesn't know about that!" Hiroyuki sighed once again, cursing inwardly at the spoiled princess.
"Megumi-san, you can go first with Alice. I will try to find Erina and join you later. I am sorry Nino, but I will have to find the princess here."
"It's okay. But do you mind having dinner with us and Megumi-san later?" She asked nervously. Hiroyuki racks his brain to find out what it is about. But seeing as Nino asked with a meek tone, He decided to accept her invitation and think about it later.
"Sure. Do you mind if I invite Kiyoko?" Nino's eyes shined at the mention of his sister.
"Please do! Itsuki would be delighted!" Itsuki and Kiyoko have bonded several times through their study together, so, having Kiyoko there would be a good thing.
"Okay, where do you want to have dinner?" Nino quickly took out her phone and said,
"I will send the address to your email. Don't worry, father didn't know about this so we will have no problem." Hiroyuki narrowed his eyes for the last part. But seeing that Nino is clearly avoiding his gaze, he decided to leave that for now.
"Sure, I will be there with Kiyoko at 6 PM. Now, I have a princess to find."
