~Egocentric~

🇩🇪Chapter 47🇫🇷

'The field is revolving around Yocchan right now. And Kaiser is now cooperating with anybody while abandoning Ness who was once his trusted partner.' Y/n thought.

"Outta the way! Outta the way! Meatball boss!" Kurona said, pressing fending off against Tokimitsu and catching the ball sent by Isagi.

"There it is! Opportunistic press!" Nanase spoke as he ran in, taking the ball.

"Ugh..." Kurona groaned.

"Ah...My credit..." Tokimitsu gaped.

'Hmmm...Kaiser is not gonna aim directly for Yocchan, but for the faults and mistakes of those helping him.' Y/n observed as Kaiser took the ball from Nanase.

'And Yocchan is trying to read around that to establish full control over Kaiser once he scores. This is...complicated.'

Y/n came up beside Ness and simply smiled while the latter glanced at him in a dazed manner.

"Hiya, Ness. It's pretty sad Kaiser decided to leave you behind, huh. So easily did he toss you away..." Y/n spoke.

"..." Ness stared.

"You're gonna be my special friend right now, okay?" Y/n hummed, his eyes slightly swirling black as he made a beckoning motion with his finger.

"I...am...?" Ness mumbled, his eyes widening.

"So don't get left behind, 'kay?" Y/n said before speeding up.

'I really doubt Ness will completely let go of his thoughts on Kaiser, but I'm sure that with his desire of not being left in the dust, he'll come running after me.' Y/n thought.

"Finisher! Finisher!" Kurona said as he kicked the ball to his left.

Isagi ran up to the ball and just as he reached for it...readying his foot to shoot it...

"The imp's super survival." Charles grinned widely, appearing seemingly out of nowhere and kicking the ball away.

"Are you surprised?! Or annoyed?!" Charles laughed.

"Tch...!" Isagi grit his teeth.

'Isn't this kid supposed to be unmotivated...?!' He thought.

Y/n reached the ball, but rather than taking it, he moved forward, kicking it backwards with his heel. Then, he continued his merry way forward.

"Huh...?" Hiori uttered, staring at the scene dumbfounded.

"It's..." Ness spoke as he moved forward, the ball descending upon him.

"...not over yet. Y/n...I'm here." He finished.

'Eh...? Oh well? I honestly thought he'd say Kaiser's name.' Y/n blinked, glancing back at the ball that was sent his way.

His eyes narrowed in slight boredom as Nanase and Karasu closed in on him.

'Let's go, my special jewel. You wanted this, right? To be the deciding factor between life and death? The one who ultimately decides what side to take on the sole idea of winning? And I'll be the one who lets you make a decision like that.' Y/n thought, a grin stretching on his face as he used his left foot to kick the ball away. 

"Gotchu." Kiyora said, gaining control over the ball as his eyes scanned the field.

"Kiyora...?" Hiori gaped.

"Hmmm?" Charles raised a brow.

"Nice! Our ball!" Raichi exclaimed.

'Kaiser and Yocchan are fighting to see who Kiyora will pass to. They want Kiyora to pass to them. Guess they're gonna have to show why exactly Kiyora should trust in either of them.' Y/n snorted.
