    Summary

    Nihuang with her heart pounding squeezed the Emperor’s hand. She had known before she submitted the report that it might not work. She had already thought of her last resort. She confessed, “I could not choose from the nine good men, your Majesty, because the one I wanted was not there.”

    Summary

    "I love you," Harry says on June 25, 51, halfway through a game of cribbage. Cuno has done nothing more notable than tell a joke that made Harry laugh.

    Cuno doesn't know what to say. Nobody loves Cuno. Loving Cuno should probably be an interisolary crime. "Gross," he says.

    An exploration of those Cuno has lost, those he's gained, and those he can't let go.

    Summary

    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.)

    Summary

    Getting murdered while trying to kill yourself is bad luck. Getting reincarnated after that is just a bad joke. But Toonami reruns and cheap commissions info have taught her this world has plenty of chances to get yourself killed. It can't be that hard.

    "So you're actually trying to die?"

    "Yes."

    "You know you're his nakama now, right?"

    "So?"

    "...Good luck with that."
