THE PAIN - Inazuma Eleven Go Fanfic

CHAPTER 32: PHASE ONE

PREVIOUSLY: NEW HELPER

Yuoko goes on to describe the incident that took place on the soccer field, where Tenma protected her from being struck by a ball. "It all happened so quickly that I simply became stunned and was unsure of what to do. Tenma employs various powerful techniques: one to deflect the ball from hitting me and the other to prevent harming the Raimon team."

For some time, the butler and the counselor are silent while they analyze everything. It comes as absolutely no surprise that the brunette acts without hesitation to save his best friend from harm, even if doing so costs him his life.

"We appreciate you telling us this, Yuoko. You should retire to your room and take a rest. When the crew returns, we will take care of them." Yuoko obeys the butler and politely walks away from the living room.

At Kogarashi Manor, Aki is busy writing down grocery items in the kitchen. "What could I make for dinner tonight?" She checks the fridge. There's hardly a lot inside there. Given that the majority of the manor's residents left for a weeklong trip, she will only prepare dinner for two people.

"Hmmm, I guess I'll order us a ramen." Aki closes the fridge and finishes cleaning up the kitchen. When later a doorbell rings all of a sudden, she wonders who is visiting at this time. She does not anticipate any guests today.

She approaches the door and opens it. "Surprise! Good evening, Aki-nee." She is taken aback by what she has seen.

"Tenma! Deity? What are you all doing in here? Come inside." She steps aside to let the teens inside the manor and stays in the living room.

Later on, she just noticed the butler following behind. "Good Evening, Miss Kino. It's good to see you again." The butler slightly inclines his head
"Itsuki-san?! It's good to see you too. I'm surprised you would be here. You're not usually going out of town."

"I'm just following the orders of the master to act as the bodyguard of Tenma." Itsuki plainly explains his unexpected appearance.

Aki seems perplexed by this. Most of the time, Hiroto doesn't hire a bodyguard for Tenma when he travels outside the town since he is confident in Tenma's ability to defend himself. Not to mention that he has his team by his side already. "Why is that?"

"The master just wants to make sure his son doesn't come into contact with anything that will worsen his condition." Aki nods as she totally gets it and what "anything" he is talking. However, she lets her thoughts aside for the time being. She leads the butler inside to the living room, where the teens are waiting.

"What do you guys want for dinner? Sorry, I haven't gone to groceries lately. I don't have any food to prepare. If it's alright with you, I'll have some food delivered to us."

"Gomen Aki-nee, for not having to tell you that we will be visiting. Don't be concerned. The dinner is on us." Tenma points at his two senpais, Osamu and Takuya, holding a bag full of groceries.

Tenma looks at Osamu, sending him a slight nod, and the goalkeeper quickly understands his message. "Ummm. May we use the kitchen, Aki-san?"

"You can. It's in the back. You can use everything there."

"Thank You, Aki-san. We will be in the kitchen if you need us. The dinner will be served in 20 minutes." Osamu whistles twice, signaling to the whole team that the brunette needs privacy with his relative. The managers, Takuya, Komuro, Minoru, and Kouji, follow the goalkeeper as they go to the kitchen to prepare dinner. Itsuki also excuses himself to get tea for them.
