Junpei Hyuga had been in the middle of coming up with plays when his mom informed him he had a visitor.
He wondered who it could be. If his mom had known who the visitor was, she would have said their name. Was it somebody from another school? He couldn't think of anyone that'd know that info who didn't go to Seirin. Maybe his dad had cut their hair? That made no sense, and he was pretty sure his dad's youngest client was about 50 years old.
As they came up the stairs, he knew there was only one person it could be.
"Hyuga? Is this your room?"
There was no way of getting out of it. His mom would have already told Kiyoshi that he was home, leaving him to be infuriated by one of his least favorite people in the world.
"First of all, how did you figure out where I live? I didn't tell you for a reason."
"I asked Izuki, in exchange for letting him do puns all day Wednesday."
"That explains that massive pun run the other day."
"More importantly though, what is all this weird stuff? What's with the helmet?"
At first, Hyuga's room had looked like a typical teenage boy's room, but the more Kiyoshi looked, the more unusual it became. Where did he find all this Sengoku era stuff? He'd probably made all the dioramas himself, but the broken warlord figures were really off-putting, even knowing the story behind them. Surely they'd be seen as downright creepy to someone who didn't know why they were broken.
"I made the helmet. I don't wear it, but it makes me feel like a warlord."
"Really? Then why does the tape have hair all over it?"
"Okay, fine, I do wear it. Sometimes when I'm coming up with plays, I'll put it on, and it makes me feel like a warlord coming up with battle strategies."
"I would seriously give you money to yell at the team while wearing that helmet during the training camp. All you have to do is name your price."
"Ten thousand."
"I could probably do five thousand, but you'd have to throw in a few 'de gozaru's in there."
"You have a deal."
When the training camp came along, nobody else knew why their captain had begun addressing them after practices while wearing a helmet and speaking like a guy from the Sengoku period. They suspected it had something to do with the money Kiyoshi was giving him afterwards, but nobody knew for sure.
Kiyoshi probably intended for Hyuga to only do it once, but Hyuga can't turn down a chance for Kiyoshi giving him money.
Next time, we have Team Kaijo!
