Confessing to Orimoto was a mistake.

Now his entire school knows, and Hachiman has suffered for an entire month with his peers having no intention of relenting or moving on.

Fortunately, it is summer Break and Hachiman has a brief respite from his peers.

Unfortunately, his parents want to take him for a family get together.

Turns out attending one family gathering he would have rather avoided means Hachiman has to brood in a corner while interacting with relatives who he could care less about.

Unfortunately, it seems the corner he was brooding in was taken, as it turns out he is not the first member of his family who was a broody middle schooler.

He has an Uncle or is it a cousin, his mother never bothered to specify the exact relation who apparently was just as broody if not more so than Hachiman currently is.

But this 'Uncle' seems to be promising Hachiman something in the ways of revenge or at least 'using his anger' in a 'productive' way.

This relative's name?

Kageyama Reiji.

But why does his mother not seem to eager?

More importantly why does she dislike the idea of him taking up this game called Soccer.
