"Alright, guys, quick break," Hajime called out, catching the attention of the MSBY team. They paused their activities to listen. "I've got to step out for a bit, but I'll be back soon," he informed them, gathering his things and heading towards the gym exit.
"Hey Bokuto, do you want to hit some more balls, before Iwaizumi returns? Atsumu, mind tossing us some balls?" Shoyo bounced out with boundless energy and a wide smile. Bokuto eagerly joined in, fists raised in excitement. "Yeah, let's do it, Shouyo! Count me in! And you too, Tsum-Tsum!" he exclaimed enthusiastically.
Meanwhile, Atsumu took a swig from his water bottle, casting a playful glance at the duo. "Sure thing. Who else is gonna set to you guys if not the best setter?" he quipped with a cheeky grin.
Iwaizumi sighed deeply, turning his attention to the spirited trio. With a slightly stern expression, he called out, "Hey, I've told you to take a break, especially you, Hinata, Bokuto. I don't want either of you sidelined in the next game because you're pushing yourselves too hard. And Miya, quit encouraging them like that. Rest is essential."
After reiterating his point, Iwaizumi turned on his heels and left the sports hall.As he made his way to the car, Iwaizumi encountered Kuroo strolling toward him. "Hey there, Hajime-kun. Where are you headed?" Kuroo inquired with a mischievous grin.
Iwaizumi let out a sigh, relieved to see a familiar face. "Just running a quick errand. Can you keep an eye on those three for me?" he asked, waving to Kuroo before driving off to pick up Kanae from school.

Iwaizumi parked his car outside the school, arriving a few minutes early to pick up Kanae. Bored, he tapped his foot on the ground as he waited. When the bell rang, signaling the end of the school day, a crowd of children streamed out of the gates. Among them, he spotted Kanae walking arm in arm with her friend, their laughter ringing in the air.
Seeing her father, Kanae waved goodbye to her friend with a wide grin before rushing over and leaping into his arms. Iwaizumi caught her effortlessly, his strong arms enveloping her as she hugged him tightly. Her small arms wrapped around his neck as she planted a kiss on his cheek and snuggled closer to him.
"Daddy, you're here!" she exclaimed, her eyes shining with excitement.
"Hey, princess," Iwaizumi replied warmly, returning her hug. "How was your day?" Kanae's face lit up, eager to share her stories about the today's adventures at school.
As Iwaizumi carefully buckled Kanae into her child seat in the car, she excitedly began recounting her day at school. "Today in gym class we played volleyball, and I got to be a setter!" she exclaimed, her eyes gleaming with pride. "Sugawara-sensei said my sets were super easy for my friends to hit. Can you believe that? Now I'm as cool as Uncle Toru!"
