The team was at Mr. Nakamura's shop celebrating.
Kenji: A toast to Silver, the brother who we can't wait until he bleeds red again.
Team: To Silver.
Kingsley: To Silver the guy I wanted to beat about a week ago.
David: You dey try me.
Kingsley: Do something about it pussy.
...
It was close to night with Kenji and David walking back to the hotel before Kenji bumped into someone.
Tachibana: Long time no see, Takahashi.
Kenji: Tachibana?
Tachibana: Come on let's talk.
Kenji: About what?
Tachibana: Don't worry I'm not here to make any trouble.
Kenji: Sorry but I'm not coming back to the team.
Tachibana: That's okay.
Kenji: It is?
Tachibana: Yeah, but could you do me a favor.
Kenji: A favor?
Tachibana: Talk to your team about signing, I heard you guys were down a player, so why not get me on board, seeing how you guys pay well and accommodation in a five-star hotel, that would be nice.
Kenji: Sorry but we don't sign player 18 or over.
Tachibana: What about the senior team, I heard your sister was a scout I'm sure she could put in a good word for me.
Kenji: Technically, but I can't do that.
Tachibana: What, why are you being so selfish, you can get Maru and Takuya signed, even though I'm better than them you won't put in a good word for me!
Kenji: I-
Tachibana: Shut up!
He wanted to grab Kenji before David grabbed his hand.
David: Do we have a problem?
Tachibana hissed before walking off.
Kenji: Thanks.
David: No problem, just do me a favor and don't ever let that guy join the team, ever.
Kenji: No problem.
...
The team were outside the hotel with David and Esther.
Kenji: Bye, dude.
David: Okay, the good byes are getting too much now.
Kenji: I guess, see you, we're going to miss you.
David: I'll miss you guys too.
Nanami: If I ever make it to the manager of the senior team the first thing I'm doing is bringing you back.
David: Thanks.
Rafael: See you around.
David wave's before getting in the car waiting for him and Esther before the car drove off.
