His Legacy (Blue Lock)

Chapter 22

Number nine, the guy that Kuon told us about starts dashing toward our defense, making me realize that their plan was to counterattack against us. As he passes by Isagi and toward the goal, the ball lands in front of him, striking the ball as Iemon lands on his side.

The ball lands inside the goal, giving Team Y their first goal. I bite my lip and clench my hands into fists, disgust and anger filling my veins. I glare at them as he runs in celebration, his teammates following close behind him. I roll my eyes as everything becomes loud, head clearer than it used to be; I felt like a new person.

I wipe my face with my hand, walking towards Isagi with a new feeling in my veins.

Kuon's voice cuts through my ears as I opened my mouth, making me grit my teeth together in annoyance. 'This fucker is getting on my nerves...' I groan as I move back, watching this match start, Kuon using his weapon right off the bat. He jumps high, taking the two team Y players off guard as he strikes the ball with his head.

He sends the ball toward Kunigami who, as soon as he got the ball, got blocked. Kunigami was stuck and number seven stole the ball from him. I kept my eye on Okawa, but I felt stuck. This game isn't fun, this strategy is shit.

By half-time, we still haven't gotten a point. 'By this time, I won't have a turn,' I huff and drink my water, head pounding with all the yelling happening in the locker room. "Quit fighting. Aside from Okawa, Team Y has been passing the ball around to guard it and spend time," I lean forward, forearms on my knees as I look forward, spacing out. "They think that they can win by staying on the defensive."

"Yeah..." Iemon starts "We need at least two people to cover Okawa, and we can't win if we don't attack more in the second half."

"Is this plan really going to work?" Chigiri asks the question I was going to ask. "If we're not able to use our weapons, won't we end up losing?"

"What are you babbling about? You can't even say what your weapon is. Huh?!" Raichi pops in, telling Chigiri off. I glare at Raichi before standing, wiping my face off with my towel before going towards the door, only listening a little before we leave to start the game again.

'I guess we are continuing with this stupid plan...'

Extra Time

{Happy Birthday!!}

"Happy Birthday Mikhail!!" They cheer as I freeze, Bachira hanging off of my back like a cat.
Everyone has party hats on their heads, everyone was sitting in a circle, and in the middle, there is a medium-sized cake.
I blink once, twice.
"How the hell do you guys know when my birthday is???" I stiffen as Bachira crawls around me like a cockroach before I grab him by the back of his pajama shirt ad gently place him on the floor.
"Reo and Nagi overheard you talking to someone on the phone about it..." Isagi explains, scratching the back of his neck.
I smile and sit down next to Isagi and Yukimiya, tears bubbling in my eyes.
[Time skip]
After opening the presents that were given to me by my teammates, there was one left.
"This one's from someone important I think," Reo brings the present over to me, a small smile on his face.
I open the present, taking off the wrapping paper and opening the box. I huff and smile.
I take the bear out of the box, pressing the button that is inside its paw (as it has a tag that says press me! on it).
"Happy Birthday!" It starts talking before I turn it off.
Yukimiya groans beside me, just as tired as I am of the word 'Happy birthday.'

Everyone laughed at my reaction to the bear. I was slightly creeped out by it, but grateful nonetheless.
After eating, a profuse cleaning by Barou, and brushing our teeth, we went to sleep.
That day I had five men on me.
Nagi cuddled up to my right arm, Reo beside him. Isagi was on my left, Yukimiya laid his head on my thigh, Karasu on my other thigh, and Bachira laid on top of me.
