"Did just as you wanted. Happy?" Y/n sighed as he slapped Rin's back.
"I didn't need you to do it. I could have but you were so insistent on kicking the free kick." Rin rolled his eyes.
"And stop slapping my back." He glared.
"No way! This is just my way of supporting you!" Y/n grinned, slapping the boy's back once more.
"One more goal and it's all over..." Chigiri pursed his lips before demanding, "Bring the ball to me!"
"Hah?! You scared, princess?! All of you, pass the ball to me or die trying!" Barou interrupted.
"It doesn't matter. We'll catch up no matter what." Nagi exhaled, his eyes shifting to Isagi.
"Right? Let's go, striker." He added.
"Yeah. It's too soon to end the game here." Isagi slowly nodded.
Kickoff!
The whistle blew and Nagi instantly kicked the ball over to Isagi before he and the rest started running up.
Y/n ran towards Barou and got in front of him, slightly snickering as the latter scowled at him.
"You're a pain in the ass!" Barou insulted.
"That's rude, Barou-chan!" Y/n teased.
Barou tried running past Y/n but the latter simply darted to the side, blocking him. If he ever got past, Y/n was quick to catch up and get in his way again.
'If I can't outmaneuver him, I won't be able to score...!' Barou thought.
He then looked back and his eyes slightly widened to see Isagi running up from behind him.
'For once, he's moving along with me...!'
"Alright, you scrub..." Barou said.
'Hmmm...Isagi's trying to keep me on the sidelines with Barou. I can just ignore Barou and follow him, but that also gives him the chance to pass the ball to Barou.' Y/n observed, eyes boring into Isagi's blue ones.
"I got past him! Give me the ball now!!" Barou shouted, running past Y/n.
'Making me choose, huh? You sly bastard.' Y/n grinned, turning and chasing Barou.
"Hate to break it to ya', but you're not getting past me so easily." Y/n told Barou, now side-by-side.
"Shut the fuck up and fuck off already!" Barou scowled.
While Barou and Y/n exchanged shoving, the former's eyes widened upon spotting Isagi who ran by, not sparing them a glance.
"Isagi, you little...You used me as bait-!" Barou grit his teeth.
Isagi momentarily stopped as Bachira suddenly appeared in front of him, and they were both silent, ignoring the calls of their teammates.
"Isagi, give me the ball! You won't be able to get through with your dribbling!" Barou shouted.
"Isagi! Give it to me!" Nagi called. "We'll do a one-two pass."
'No...No matter what we do, Rin's watching over everything and lying in wait.' Isagi thought.
'But I was waiting for this pileup! Right now, while everyone's waiting for me to pass, with this single blow, the tides of war will change!'
Isagi shot the ball to the far right of the field and there it was that Chigiri ran up, Aryu following by his side.
"Full speed ahead!" Chigiri grit his teeth.
