[Nosaka x Anna] A secret for two~

Volume 1 Chapter 10

Walking around the city, Hiroto looked at the big screen on which his team's match against Raymond was shown. Tatsuya was injured during the game and could barely stand on his feet. Watching him, the guy remembered their conversation yesterday.

*Memories*

Tatsuya: I will win the football milestone!

He put his hand over his heart and squeezed his clothes.

Tatsuya: This is my dream. Father and coach Hitomiko gave me this chance! So whatever happens, I won't stop. Even if it's without you, Hiroto!

*The end of memories*

Hiroto: It means a dream... When will you realize that just having a dream makes you lucky?

He headed for the stadium.

*Hiroto's thoughts: I also had a dream once, but then it disappeared with him. The fact that my goal now is to get my father's attention and get answers from Yuma to my questions, but this is not a dream at all, but a goal.*

~Back to the match~

Tatsuya continued to play despite his injury. All the guys started to worry about him, including Raymond. It was uncomfortable for them to watch the guy suffer, but at the same time they admired his resilience. Reina helped Tatsue up, she tried to convince him to stop.

Reina: Tatsuya, you need to turn gray. You've done a good job.
Tatsuya: No!
Reina: But...

Before she could say anything, he interrupted her.

Tatsuya: No matter how exhausted I get, I can't lose! Not here!

The girl was amazed.

*Reina's thoughts: Tatsuya...*

She waved her head.

*Reina's thoughts: That's right... Tatsuya is fighting for our common dream, so he can't give up. If only I had more strength... Then he would be able to rely on me, as well as on Hiroto... But unfortunately, I just have to watch him and rely on him alone...*

Nosaka and Nishikage watched everything that was happening.

Yuma: It's bad.
Nishikage: If Kiyama Tatsumi does not sit on the bench, there is a chance that his injury will be aggravated.
Yuma: It doesn't look like he wants to give up. I wonder what motivates him so much?

Nishikage happened to notice something in front of them on the other side of the stands. When he saw it, he saw Hiroto, which surprised him.

Nishikage: Kira Hiroto.

Nosaka didn't understand why Nishikage had mentioned Hiroto. He looked at his friend first, and then looked where he was going. And then everything fell into place when he saw the guy. Hiroto was looking at Tatsuya and thinking about something.

*Hiroto's thoughts: Why did I come here? Why am I looking at you? Is my desire to get the old man's confession the reason I'm here? Or is it...*

Without finishing his thought, he headed for the locker room. Tatsuya had the ball, he tries to score a goal, but due to injury it does not work and Norika successfully stops the ball. The guy fell to his knees, as he was already at the limit, but despite this, he gets up. Suddenly, the whistle blew and the presenter announced that Kiyama Tatsuya was temporarily removed from the field. His friend asks him to leave everything else to them, but the guy refuses, saying at the same time that he does not change. Raymond's team takes advantage of Tatsuya's absence to score a goal. Gojin is glad that he scored a goal, even though it wasn't hisatsu's technique.
