Summary
During their lunch break, Osamu and Suna accidentally manage to eavesdrop on a girl confessing to Kita-san, and they hear her get rejected because Kita-san says he likes someone else.
Naturally, this leads to: a totally casual and not at all suspicious series of questions posed to the other third years about who Kita-san is crushing on; a farm day at the Kita family rice paddies that features both duck-wrangling and tea-drinking on the Kita family’s engawa (not at the same time); a high school sweetheart boyfriend that eventually doubles as Osamu’s future rice supplier; and the coming-of-age realization that sometimes, onigiri really is the answer.
All in a day’s questionable spying.

Summary
On the first day of Shinsuke’s second year, after that morning’s entrance ceremony, he walks by the first year classes on the way to the cafeteria at lunch and sees a one-man commotion in the hallway, yelling about betrayal in front of Class 1-1's doorway. He sees that same first year minutes later in the cafeteria, not making any commotion at all as the boy clearly enjoys an egg sando. Before the lunch period ends, Shinsuke sees the new kid one more time, grumbling and kicking at a vending machine.
He figures he won't have to think much about the loud and uppity first year that apparently really likes egg sandos, but then Shinsuke walks into volleyball practice after the school day is over, sees the new first years line up for tryouts, and again finds that same face there.
Twice.
Ah, Shinsuke thinks. Twins.

Summary
“Ah!” exclaims the one with grey hair and a fresh face, mole decorating the corner of his eye. He’s pointing directly at Aran. “Inarizaki!”
The five other boys that accompany the rudely pointing guy all turn their heads at once to stare into the elevator where Aran, his friends, and his best friend’s grandmother are all standing, dumbfounded.
The elevator doors begin to close.
The guy Aran’s pretty sure is Karasuno’s captain lunges for the hallway button at the same time that Shinsuke’s hand darts out to press the open button from their side. The doors abruptly stop in place with a worrying clank, and then they very slowly start to slide open again. The tall guy with the bedhead looks like he’s holding back more laughter, though his face turns constipated when the shortest one in their group punches him in the side and hisses at him to shut up.
Yumie-baachan chuckles softly in the awkward pause, but nobody moves until Shinsuke asks, “Y’all gonna come in?”

Summary
The best gift of all that Rintarou’s stupid boyfriend gives him today isn’t the unreasonably nice homemade chocolate (obviously well-made, seeing as how both twins are bastards that are somehow good at everything), but when he goes on to prove that apparently the Miyas’ various and sundry talents come at the deficit of having shitty personalities and worse common sense.
Because when they take out the Valentine’s Day chocolates they’ve made from scratch, clearly with romantic intentions behind their crafting, the twins don’t give those chocolates to the guys they’re dating.
No.
They give them to Ojiro-san.
