osamu believes that he had brought down one huge wall to get past the next and probably the biggest hurdle of them all: asking akaashi out for dinner.

keiji isn’t even certain that osamu miya recognizes him, though they’ve exchanged nods at his brick-and-mortar shop a handful of times before. they’re far from tokyo, keiji supposes, so there is no reason for miya to expect keiji in sendai; but they’re even farther from osaka, by hours and prefectures and hundreds of kilometers. there are certainly v.league matches being held this weekend that are far closer to kansai than the kamei arena sendai.

the black jackals and adlers fans must be good business to warrant such a voyage, keiji concludes, and leaves it at that.

akaashi and osamu encounter each other again and again along the v.league circuit, and recognize that they are in parallel pursuits. (neither of them particularly enjoys being seen.) (at least there are onigiri to use as distractions.)
