Tachibana was with Aoi and the rest of subs on the beach before the teams came out with Tachibana noticing the captain hand band on Kenji.
Tachibana: What the Junior's captain, is this some sort of jokes.
Aoi: Not at all, Takahashi would be the perfect replacement for You, well that's if need to let you go as captions.
Tachibana: This is ridiculous.
He gets up and walked away.
Aoi: Hey where are you going!
Kenji noticed the commotion on the sub bench before a teammate yelled at him to get his head back in the game.
...
Aoi was going over her clipboard before kenji approached her.
Kenji: Everything alright?
Aoi: Hey, yeah everything is okay.
Kenji: Everything?
Aoi: Just a slight problem with Tachibana, he's a bit upset about you being captain.
Kenji: Though so.
Aoi: But great work on the pitch today, two goals.
Kenji: You said I should score more.
Aoi: And you're doing great.
Kenji: You think.
Aoi: I do you're an important part of the team, even though you're still my junior.
Kenji: Thanks.
...
The team arrived at the training ground waiting for Aoi to arrive before she did later on.
Aoi: Hey everyone.
Kenji: You're here, we were about to leave.
Aoi: I was trying to get a hold of Tachibana.
Kenji: How did that go?
AI: Not too good I haven't been able to get a hold on him, but I'm don't need that to bother the rest of the team, let's run a couple drills.
Kenji: On it.
...
The team were running drills before kenji stopped to take a break.
Takuya: Hey Takahashi.
Kenji: Hey guys.
Maru: We've been running laps for 3 days, I'm getting tired of it.
Takuya: I guess the manager mind as been somewhere else lately.
Kenji: I'll talk to her if you guys want.
Maru: Thanks man.
Kenji: No problem, I'll do it later.
...
Aoi was going through her clipboard before kenji approached her.
Kenji: You got a minute.
Aoi: Sure.
Kenji: I think we need a backup striker.
Aoi: A backup striker, are you volunteering.
Kenji: No I already play enough roles, even if I needed a new one I'll play centre back.
Aoi: Are you here to tell me you want to play centre back.
Kenji: I'm here to talk to you about a new striker, you haven't been steady and the team needs it's manager, we've been running drills with out any direction.
Aoi: I guess my head hasn't been too clear lately
Kenji: I know a formation that uses a centre attacker instead of a striker for the time being.
Aoi: Sure Takahashi.
Kenji: You can call me kenji.
