Overview[]
Aran wants to take a rest from retorting against the Miya twins, but the break lasts much shorter than he expected.
Plot[]
Aran is tired of playing the straight man to the Miya twins' jokes and wants a day of rest. He informs his intention to his teammates although some of them do not seem to understand what a rest day is. Initially, Osamu seems to accept his request. He explains that they don't have to follow up on jokes just because they are from Kansai. Atsumu protests and tells his twin to have more Kansai pride. The twins then reveal the words printed on their shirts, which describe people born and raised in areas completely outside of the Kansai region. Aran immediately faceplants as he can't help but retort against the Miya twins' antics. Meanwhile, Suna gives Aran a thumbs up. Aran's rest day lasts a total of only 30 seconds.
