[Haikyuu!!] Do We Really Have to Wait Until Graduation to Date?!

[Note: Updates every other day or according to the rankings]

Straight-laced rich heiress and comic artist VS gentle, beautiful (allegedly) elementary school teacher

Back when Hayakawa Mirai was a high school student at Karasuno, she had wanted to fall in love, too.

But...

What was love, anyway?!

That heart-fluttering feeling, love at first sight: none of that happened during Hayakawa Mirai's high school years.

The fastest her heart ever beat in high school was probably when the teacher handed out report cards at the front of the classroom.

After graduating from college,

Hayakawa Mirai returned to Miyagi from Tokyo with her younger brother.

Fortunately, she had gone to Karasuno High School and still had family living there, so Miyagi wasn't completely unfamiliar to her.

But who could have guessed that

the upperclassman she'd spent three years at the same school with without ever getting to know would suddenly start showing up everywhere?

And was there actually a mean streak hidden in his personality?

She'd never noticed it back in high school.

Hayakawa Mirai thought it over carefully for two seconds. Oh, right. They hadn't known each other.

Actually, looking back, there had been some clues.

After all, that senior with the ash-blond hair had been the loudest voice cheering from the substitutes' area.

After running into him for the Nth time for no apparent reason, Hayakawa Mirai finally couldn't hold back her question.

"It's really strange. I keep running into you lately, senpai."

"Hmm... Who knows." Sugawara Koushi shrugged. "Maybe it's what they call... fate."

"I thought you might say something more profound."

"Destiny?" Sugawara Koushi joked lightly.

Hayakawa Mirai paused.

"Then let's go with fate."

The word destiny sounded a little too suggestive.

Besides,

who starts getting to know their destined person six or seven years after first meeting them?!

Snippet 1:

By chance, Sugawara Koushi came across a record of an interview with Hayakawa Mirai from her college days:

"A secret crush? To be honest, I don't really know much about having one. But I did think about it in high school. If I had to choose someone to have a crush on, I guess it'd be an upperclassman."

"Oh? Are you into older guys?"

"No, no, that's not it. He was tall and slender, with a fair complexion and gentle features. And, surprisingly, he was on the volleyball team. His calves were so well-defined. He was also a great student, polite and kind to everyone. He was a really good person."

"Sounds like the school heartthrob."

"Haha, I don't think anyone could dislike someone that wonderful, no matter how old they were."

Sugawara Koushi (blushing): That's a confession! Hayakawa's definitely confessing to me!!!

Once he calmed down,

Wait, what is this? Is she giving me a "you're a nice guy" rejection?!

Snippet 2:

At college in Tokyo, Hayakawa Mirai met an enthusiastic upperclassman with a pompadour.

After learning she'd gone to Karasuno, he excitedly dragged her into a long conversation about the Battle of the Garbage Dump and crows and cats.

Hayakawa Mirai: ...Um, actually, I'm a Date Tech fan (quietly).
