Goal 25: Epilogue

Everyone celebrated once Blue Lock Eleven gathered in the lockers. The fact the Blue Lock won, their names carved as victors– and that they are the new U-20 national team‐ the room was full of excitement, happiness and for some, self-reflection.

"We're gonna be U-20 team now!"

"Yeah!"

Terieri Anri came back with Ueyama Utsusu after getting him for a check up after the match– the brunet followed after the Blue Lock staff.

"Everyone, I'm so proud of you all!"

"Stop crying you moron. It's as if everything was a miracle and not calculated." Ego came and lightly bonked Terieri's head. "B-But, Ego-san.."

"Calm yourself, we won as planned."

Ego then started to talk about the last match and how Rin's play destroyed everything and that Ueyama was able to link up the broken pieces and that Isagi was able to respond by adding himself to the masterpiece.

"That last play was, without a doubt, made Blue Lock known across the world. This was brought by every single one of you here. You all have surely made BlueLock as a place where football is in heat, grasping victory in a turning point in your lives. Congratulations, you unpolished gems. You've accomplished something worthwhile."

The group then cheered as Ueyama made his way to his own group. "Bowlcut isn't that sentimental, I guess."

"Well, that's his character I suppose." Chigiri shrugged.

Ego then said some final words before excusing himself from the room.

Terieri then caught their attention by clapping her hands together, "Alright! So today, the menu at the cafeteria will be super luxurious, and all-you-can-eat! This.. is all I can personally do for all of you guys! I want all of us to celebrate!"

The group then headed to where the cafeteria was. Ueyama went with Bachira, Isagi and Chigiri after drying themselves from sweat. "Hamburger! Chicken nuggets!" Bachira hummed and this earned a curve at the end of Ueyama's lips. Chigiri saw the interaction and smiled.

"Ah right, how are you feeling, Ue?"

"I was told I'd be fine now. Just do some moderate to intense exercises regularly." The brunet ruffled his own hair and combed it backwards.

"Good thing you're able to catch up, Ue-chan! Isagi?" Bachira tilted his head as he saw Isagi being left behind. Ueyama and Chigiri also turned to see Isagi looking at Rin's depressed state. Ueyama huffed and slung his towel over his shoulder.

"I'm starving, we'll get going first, sproutbean." Ueyama said as he continued to walk. "Ah, okay. I'll be right there."

Chigiri and Bachira then looked at Ueyama. "Aren't you going with them too?" Bachira asked.

"I'm probably on Rin's death list right now. Had to cool him off, if that was the right term." Ueyama stretched.

"So, Isagi..?"

"Ah, well, if we can still see him in the cafeteria, then he made it out alive."

The Blue Lock team got two weeks off and was allowed to be outside the Blue Lock facility. Their personal belongings were given back. All of them resorted to going home.

Ueyama was off to go look for Bachira since they live in the same place, he caught sight of a familiar emerald head walking on his own with his belongings. Rin was looking through his cellphone when suddenly Ueyama took it from his hold.
