“ Haa, that kid, he should have told me. ” Manyuuji's Coach exhaled in concern. “ What a troublemaker. ” the coach says reluctantly.

“ What would you like me to do? Shall I head back there? ” Coach Hitomiko spoke over the phone. The man smiled and shook his head, “ No, no. Nothing like that. ”

“ This is what Kogure had chosen for himself. ” the man says amusingly as the rest of the Manyuuji team watches silently. Kakita was holding a soccer ball as he listened with a forlorn look. He really hopes Kogure will be fine. 

“ We have no right to object the path he walks on. ” 

“ Then, you don't mind if I borrow him for the Inazuma Caravan? ” 

“ He's an armful of trouble, but please take good care of him. ” the coach wished and Kakita nodded. 

“ I understand. I will take full responsibility for him. ” Coach Hitomiko nodded before she ended the call. The whole team was watching from the caravan at the short conversation. They all turn to the culprit, Kogure who was sitting in his seat while holding a pen.

Then, “ I'm against it! ” Kurimatsu declared. 

Megane sat up abruptly while screaming. He darted forward and snatched something from Kogure's hand. The kid just tilts his head curiously. 

“ My Reina-chan! ” Megane wailed out in despair, holding his toy figure now scribbled with permanent marker on its face. Kogure just cracked up at his reaction. Ichino deadpanned, this kid is just set on making it hell for others. 

“ I take it back! I'm also against someone like him joining the Raimon Eleven! ” Megane shouted, finger pointed at Kogure. Endou and the others just sweatdropped at the sudden protest. 

“ It's just a toy. ” Kogure commented. 

“ What?! ” 

Kogure cackled again before he stopped abruptly when a familiar voice called out his name. Haruna stands at the front, hands on her hips with a disappointed look. Ichino winced, a disappointed Otonashi-sensei is like when your mom is disappointed in you. 

“ Apologize to them! If you don't, we'll take you back to Manyuuji. ” the girl warned, all serious. Kogure blinked before he slowly deflated at the idea of being sent back. He angles his head with a solemn look, “ Sorry. ” 

Ichino leans towards Haruna, “ You're his mom, at this point. ” He yelped when Haruna flicked his forehead.

Megane and Kurimatsu grumbled at the apology, still not satisfied. Endou hurried in front of them, holding out both of his hands. “ Come on now, he apologized. Let's take it easy. Okay, Megane? Kurimatsu? ” 

The two deflate at Endou's reassuring smiles, the kind that gets your guard down every time. Even if Endou isn't aware of it. The two of them frowned, but couldn't find the heart to go against their captain. Ichino could relate, Endou's charm is too good. 

“ Well, if that's what you say, Captain. . . ” Kurimatsu relented, his frown growing further. Coach Hitomiko casually walks in, “ We're going now. ” 

Endou raises a fist, “ Okay, let's go! ” 

He took a step forward– and fell. 

“ Endou?! ” Touko called out. 

“ Captain, don't die! ” 

“ He's not going to die. ” 

“ Endou, get up. We still have aliens to fight. ”
