"Yeah..." I said. I place my hands behind her knees and on her back. I stand up and make my way towards the bench, gently laying her down. I gently caress her cheek, smiling fondly at her. I stand up and turn to look at the others. "L/N have helped us gain a point! Let's not let her fight go to waste! Let's win!!" I yelled out. Everyone yell out in agreement. For you, L/N... we're going to fight until the end.

-Journey To Fukuoka-

Y/N P.O.V

I slowly open my eyes, realizing I'm inside the caravan. My head is rested on someone's lap. I turn my head to see it's Fubuki's. He takes notice that I'm awake and turn his head to look at me.

"Ah, you're awake" he said. I move my head from his lap, slowly sitting up. "How are you feeling, L/N?" He asked. I turn to look at him and smiles softly, assuring him that I'm okay.

"Where are we heading to, by the way?" I asked. Endou turn his head to look at me, stating that we'd be heading to Fukuoka. Apparently, another notebook that belonged to his deceased grandfather is there. I hum softly and nod my head. "How's the match with Epsilon? Did we win?" I asked.

"Unfortunately, no... but we ended the game with a tie" Kidou said. I smile sadly at what he said. "Oh, don't be sad. It's a lot better than losing. It just shows that our team is growing stronger each passing days. We're on the same level as Epsilon now. We just have to try harder next time" he said. I smile softly and nod my head in agreement. I turn my head to look out the window, watching as buildings passing by.

Endou walks up to us after getting his hands on his grandpa's notebook. He told us that the chairman wants to introduce us to the Soccer Club. Which we gladly agree to.

I smile softly as the Soccer Club stands in front of us. The captain walks up to us, stating that they're our biggest fan. He turns his head to look back at his teammates.

"Oi, Tachimukai! It's Endou-Kun and L/N-San!" He said. I turn my head to look at where he's looking to see a boy hiding behind one of his teammates. A blush is shown on his face as he stares at us. "That guy... he was the one that said meeting both of you would be the most thrilling thing to ever happen to him" he said.

I turn my head to look at Tachimukai. "R-Right!!" He said. He moves from behind the taller teammates and awkwardly walks up to us.

I feel a drop of sweat running down the side of my head at the sight

I feel a drop of sweat running down the side of my head at the sight.

"L-L/N-San!! E-Endou-San!" He started. I just smile as his face turns even redder. "I-I'm a freshman of Yukato Junior High, Tachimukai Yuuki!" He said.

"Ah... nice to meet you, Tachimukai" I said. I lift my hand to offer a handshake to him. He stares at my hand in surprise. He stares at my hand and me back and forth.

"Y-Y-You're willing to shake hands with me?!" He said. I smile softly and close my eyes, nodding my head. I feel him grabbing my hand with both of his as he starts to shake my hand up and down. "I'm so honored... I'm never washing my hand ever again! I'm so happy that I finally get to meet my crush!" He said. My eyes widen in surprise at what he said. Did he just said crush? He has a crush... on me?

I glance at the others to see them looking tensed to find out yet another boy has feelings for me. "Eh... do you like soccer, Tachimukai?" I asked, trying to change the subject to ease the tension. Hopefully, the soccer club from Yukato Junior High wouldn't notice.

"Tachimukai was originally a midfielder..." the captain said. I turn my head to look at him. He turn to look at both Endou and me. "But because of his admiration to Endou-Kun, he switched to being a goalkeeper. As for L/N-San, he said you inspired him to be stronger..." he said.

"Ah... is that true?" I said, smiling softly at Tachimukai. He nods his head as he smiles shyly. "Well, I'm glad that I can be an inspiration to you, Tachimukai..." I said, giving him a close-eyed.

Tachimukai P.O.V

My eyes widen at the sight of her smile. I've always been watching her through TV and admires her. She's just so beautiful. Her skills as a soccer player is amazing too. I can't believe she's actually standing in front of me right now. I'm so happy to see my crush here.

One thing I notice is that her teammates frowns at me when I admits about my crush on her. Could it be that they all feel something for L/N-San? All of them?? Well, it doesn't matter... I will try my best!

Y/N P.O.V

The captain suggested that he should show us that move. Apparently, he has picked up a technique during his play as a goalkeeper. He was hesitant at first. But Endou said he wanted to see. In which, Tachimukai agrees to show him.

Ichinose will be the one shooting the ball to him. I watch as they take positions. Ichinose eventually rushes up to the goal, and kicks it.

"God Hand!!" Tachimukai exclaimed. My eyes widen in disbelief. I can't believe it! Another person aside from Endou mastered God Hand. It was supposed to be a technique that only Endou could muster. But here he is. Tachimukai Yuuki... he actually managed to use that.

I turn my head to look at the others to see they also have a similar reaction as me. Looks like I'm not the only one shocked by the unexpected discovery. Endou rushes up to Tachimukai in excitement. Endou grabs a hold of his hand with both of his and starts shaking it, much like when Tachimukai was shaking my hand.

Apparently, Tachimukai self-taught himself by watching a lot of videos about Endou using that technique. A soft smile starts to form on my face. I walk up to Endou and Tachimukai.

"I can tell that you're a hardworking person. Keep it up, Tachimukai. I believe you'd be a great goalkeeper one day" I said, giving him a close-eyed smile. I open my eyes and blink in surprise to see Tachimukai is being held by Endou. His whole face has gone red.

"Eh? Tachimukai? Oi!!!! Get a hold of yourself!" Endou said. I feel a drop of sweat running down the side of my head as I let out a nervous laugh. Seems like Tachimukai is not joking. He really did have a crush on me. I already have the boys to think about, and now there's another one. Just what did I get myself into?
