3.14. A Choice

"The score is two-two! Bastard Munchen, against Manshine City!"

"So far, we've had such a good game! Starting off with the Kaiser Impact, then a run from Chigiri Hyoma to equalise! After, we've had a world-class goal from Noel Noa, and maybe a goal to rival it from Nagi Seishiro!"

"Honestly, I'm still blown away by that last goal. Four consecutive fake shots? It has to be some sort of record!"

"Most likely it is! But because of that goal, Bastard Munchen start with the ball! Everyone in this game is looking fired up, Tereasa. Will Isagi Yoichi finally get the goal he's been looking for all league? Will Y/N L/N show us the superstar talent we've all been looking forward to? Or will it be a dark horse to take the final point?!"

"If I was a betting man, I'd place my bets on Isagi. He's been getting closer and closer to his goal, and even though he hasn't gotten it yet, he's just one step away. Yet, the amazing thing about this game is you can't count anyone out."

"That's right! There is simply so much potential on this pitch. All the Bluelock players have incredible offensive skills, and who knows? Maybe it'll be one of them to take another goal."

Y/N stood near the centre of the pitch, as opposite him, Bastard Munchen got into formation. From their goal, Isagi walked towards the middle. He held the ball in his hands, both eyes looking somewhat dazed as he approached.

Y/N sighed, a deep, draining noise that eased some of the tension from his shoulders. He raised a hand. "Hey."

Isagi blinked. Then, transferring the ball to one hand, he held up the other. "Hey."

"You gonna go for your goal?" Y/N knew it was a stupid question. Of course he was. But he just needed to say something, just needed to hear something from someone else.

"Yeah..." Isagi gave him a small smile. "You okay?"

Y/N swallowed. He forced his lips to move, smiling brightly back. "Why wouldn't I be?"

Isagi reached the centre of the pitch. He placed the ball down, and Y/N began to backpedal to his own half. "Wait."

Y/N paused. Raising an eyebrow, Isagi gestured to his outstretched hand, fingers curled into a fist. "You gonna leave me hanging like that?"

It was a relief, for Y/N to smile. He closed the gap, bumping his own fist into Isagi's. "May the best player win."

"May the best player win." Isagi repeated. The two broke apart, Isagi facing towards his own team, Y/N retreating a few metres away. He glanced at the ceiling as the commentators sprang to life again.

"Heartfelt moments here on the pitch, everyone! Y/N and Isagi share some words of encouragement! Maybe not in this match, but in another, we might see the two strikers working together! That would be a sight to see!"

Y/N rolled his eyes.

"But now, let's restart the match! Bastard Munchen against Manshine City! The next goal. Takes. All!"

Isagi passed the ball. The field exploded with motion.

Y/N was off like a rocket. He sprinted forwards right off the bat, chasing down the ball with incredible speed as Isagi passed backwards to Kurona. His team immediately caught on to what he wanted to do, surging forwards alongside him.

Reo made a break for Yukimiya. Chigiri took as much space as he could down the flank. Nagi just kind of stood there, but Y/N hadn't expected him to do much anyway. Alongside them, the entire Manshine City formation moved up. The defenders moved forwards, and the midfielders took offensive positions.
