The Group were in the clubroom with Riku being the topic.
Ren: You didn't have to say you played.
Riku: I panicked okay.
Daisuke: Still you shouldn't have made things worse than they already are.
Riku: I'm sorry okay but how are we going to make it work.
They all turned to Kenji who was thinking about something.
Kenji: Uh?
Riku: Have you not been paying attention!
Kenji: I have.
Riku: Then-
Kenji: Here's what's going to happen, you're the goalkeeper, tell your sister you were just trying Striker out to see if you could switch positions.
Riku: I can't make saves.
Kenji: I'm going to take the shot by the way you dive.
Riku: Will it work?
Kenji: Only one way to find out.
Kenji bring out a ball from his backpack.
Kenji: Stand over there.
Riku walked to the wall standing.
Riku: What now?
Kenji smirked.
Kenji: This.
Kenji kicked the ball to Riku who tried to block it from hitting him.
Kenji: You see.
Riku slowly opened his eyes to see he was holding the ball.
Kenji: I'm going to need you to do your part, if you're going to fool your sister.
Riku: Okay, what do I have to do.
Kenji: I can't just keep sending the ball into your hands, so I'm going to need you to dive and I'll send the ball to your direction.
Riku: Got it.
Kenji: Take a dive, and try not to hurt yourself.
Riku was about to take a dive before Kenji took the shot which Riku's hands blocked.
Riku got up and returned the ball to Kenji.
Kenji: Again.
...
Riku was at the field at the goalpost about make a save but Kenji took the shot in the other direction.
Kenji: Let's call it a day.
Riku: Thank God.
Kenji: Come on.
Akemi: Nice one you two really have great, what it called?
Kenji: Skill.
Akemi: Sure, come on Riku.
Riku: Uh okay.
Kenji: Hey Riku you mind if we have a word before you go.
Riku: Uh sure.
Kenji dragged him off.
Kenji: So I guessing you haven't told her.
Riku: I'm working on it.
Kenji: The sooner you tell her the better.
Kenji grabbed his things and walked away.
Riku: Right.
