"the match between Japan and Australia has five minutes remaining! Whoever makes the next goal will win!" the commentator said
The Australian captain use his hissatsu technique "time trance" and kick the ball towards to the goal, but Endou easily block the shoot using his new hissatsu technique "God of wind, God of lightning, Ghost"
"They're not scoring anymore goals on me! Go up and concentrate on offense, guys!" Endou said and pass the ball to Sakanoue, Sakanoue pass the ball to me and I pass the ball to Haizaki.
Haizaki and Hiroto kicking the ball towards to Ichihoshi.
"Ichihoshi is like their sandbag!" the commentator said
"you filty little traitor. I'll mess you up so bad, you'll never stand on the pitch again!" Haizaki said then he kick the ball as strong as he can toward to Ichihoshi but Asuto get on the way that's why instead of hitting Ichihoshi, Asuto was hit by the ball kicked by Haizaki that should have been for Ichihoshi.
"Whoa, that looked as if Inamori had gone purposely for some reason, to get hot by Haizaki's shoot! He lies on the field, immobile!" The commentator said
——
The match started again, Kidou dribbling the ball.
"[F/N] make the last goal!" Kidou said and pass the ball to me
"H-huh?! Why me?!" I said
I received the ball to Kidou and started dribbling it, I successfully get through to the opponent defense and I am now in front of their goal.
"[H/N]!" I said and shoot the ball as strong as I can, the opponent goal keeper use his hissatsu technique to block my shoot but it's no use my shoot successfully entered the goal.
Goal! 5-4! The commentator said
whistle
"Japan VS Australia match is over! Japan is the winner! [L/N] makes the last goal in this match!" the commentator said
"[F/N]! [F/N]! you did it!" Endou said while shaking my shoulders
"calm down, Endou." I said
"you still manage to score a goal even though you have a wound on your leg." Shirou smile
I smile in reply
"a wound? I almost forget that I have a wound on my leg." i thought
|at the locker room|
"Guys, you did well, fighting to the end without giving up." Endou said
"if you hadn't brought out the God's of Wind and lightning and Ghost, we might have lose this match." Kazemaru said
"Nah, I couldn't have done it on my own. Thanks, Natsumi!" Endou said
"have some everyone! I've brought three colored dango as a souvenir" Natsumi said
Some of us take a dango.
"Coach! You knew, didn't you!" Kidou yelled to coach
"you knew that Ichihoshi was sent to us by some kind of organization!" Kidou yelled
"No, I don't know any detail at all." Coach replied
"we have a right to know who he really is!" Kidou yelled
"whatever reason you may have, voicing your dissent towards your coach disrupts team discipline." Trainer Kudou said
"But–" Kidou said but got cut off by trainer Kudou
"Management has no need to explain its decisions to the players." trainer Kudou said
"And that's all there is to it." Coach said Then Coach and Trainer Kudou leave the locker room.
"Calm down, Kidou." I said
"this isn't like you." Kazemaru said
"But there's no doubt that we have a traitor on this team." Kidou said
"a traitor, huh? I don't get the sense that Ichihoshi is really a bad guy." Endou said while holding his chin
"What?! He's part of the group that hurt Goueji! And now it was [F/N] who was hurt, what do you want? to wait for them to hurt all of us!" Haizaki yelled
"huh?"
"Kidou san, is that true?" Hiura asked
"that's not all. Have you forgetten, Endou? He even tried to injure you during practice!" Kidou said to Endou
"He tried to hurt, Endou san?!" Sakanoue yelled
"Hey, we don't know that for sure yet." Endou said
"he must not be forgiven! If Coach won't do anything, then we have no choice but to eliminate him ourselves from this team." Kidou said
"Kidou san, is that even possible?" Hiura asked
"it is. But it will require justification. If we don't fight back cautiously, it could backfire on us instead." Kidou respond
"we must expose Ichihoshi and the misdeeds of the organization supporting him during a match where the entire stadium is watching. Whoever defies the field must not be allowed to stand on it." Kidou said
Then suddenly some man in black suit entered in our locker room
"No one move!" the man in black said
"we are from the FFI administration bureau."the man said While holding his ID
Then they start to inspect our bags
"hey that's our stuff!"
"Whose locker is this?" the man asked
"that's mine." Kidou answered
"these are doping drugs."the man said while holding some kind of medicine or should I say drugs
"Huh?"
"what?!"
"In violation of the anti-doping rules, Kidou Yuuto, you are disqualified from playing! The man said
The one man hold Kidou on his arm
"wait! Kidou would never do such a thing!" Endou said
"are you stupid! Kidou is strong enough so why would he use a doping drugs!" I said
Kidou's hand loosened from the man's grip then he immediately went straight to me and whispered something
"I will investigate Ichihoshi and tell you right away when I confirm that Ichihoshi Mitsuru and your childhood friend Hikaru are just the same person." Kidou whispered to me then he smile
"Thank you Kidou, but why are you doing this to me?" I asked
"Cause your important to me" he whispered and smile
I smile in reply, then the man in black hold kidou's arm again then they leave the locker room with Kidou.
"Kidou!" Haizaki yelled
After Kidou and the men left the locker room, Ichihoshi suddenly entered
"aww, Kidou san got disqualified." Ichihoshi said
"Ichihoshi... You set him up,did you?!" Haizaki yelled
"I don't know what you mean. But wow, doping! That's pretty bad! I never thought Kidou san would be the type of person to do something underhanded like that! What a letdown!" Ichihoshi said
"you piece of shit!" Haizaki said
Haizaki was about to punch Ichihoshi
"Are you sure you want to do that, Haizaki kun?" Ichihoshi said
"huh?!"
"if you don't want to lose your soccer career like Kidou san, then I think it would be in your best interests to quite down." Ichihoshi said
"Haizaki stop that." Asuto said
"I don't care!" Haizaki said then he was about to punch Ichihoshi but Endou stopped him
"stop, Haizaki!" Endou said
"don't get in my way!" Haizaki yelled
"if you cause a problem now, you'll be banned from playing too. If that were happen, Kidou would be the most distressed." Endou said
"Asuto kun, thank you. Because you helped me back there, I was able to dispose of a nuisance." Ichihoshi said then left the locker room
"that little..." Haizaki said
"Asuto! Because of you, Kidou was... Kidou was...!" Haizaki said Haizaki was about to punch Asuto but Goujin stop him.
"that's enough, Haizaki!" Goujin said while holding Haizaki's hand
"Shut up!" Haizaki yelled then he punch Goujin
"why meeeee?!" Goujin said
|one day later|
I was walking back to the campground when I saw Asuto, Goujin, Haizaki, Hiroto, and Ichihoshi.
"A fight?" I said in my mind
"wow, Seems interesting!" I said to my self then I approach them
"Haizaki, ignore the softies and do it already!" Hiroto said while holding Ichihoshi's shoulders
"No!" Asuto said
"Huh?! If you're gonna keep talking nonsense then how about I start with you first?!" Haizaki said to Asuto
"Yo." I said entering in their conversation
"[F/N]?" Goujin said
"What are you doing here? you should be there in your room and resting, remember that you have a wound on your leg!" Hiroto said
"it's just a wound, don't treat me like a sick person." I said
"The only difficult part is changing the bandage on my leg every day" I whispered to my self
"Huh?!" Hiroto said
"nothing" I said
Then Endou and Ootani went to us.
"Guys! What are you doing?! ichihoshi are you okay?" Endou asked
"Hiroto and Haizaki are doing stupid things." I said
"Huh?!" Hiroto and Haizaki said
"Without Gouenji and Kidou here, now is the time for all of us to unite together, isn't it?" Endou said
"the one responsible for those two not being here is this guy! Haizaki said while pointing his finger to Ichihoshi
"He used dirty tricks to–" Haizaki said but got cut off by Ichihoshi
"I haven't done anything. Don't take your anger out on me just because Kidou san was a cheating scumbag who used doping!" Ichihoshi said
"you...!" Haizaki yelled and he was about to punch Ichihoshi but Goujin stop him
"Hey, what's that?" Goujin said
"What's, what?" I asked
"I saw something shine over there. Goujin said
"Huh? Where!" Haizaki said
Then we saw a camera man
"a camera man?" Ootani said
"Come to think of it, this guy was provoking you on purpose." Hiroto said
"Just how much of a lowlife are you?" Haizaki said
Then coach suddenly appear
"Everyone, it's almost dinner time!" coach said
"you came at just the right time, coach!" Haizaki said
"what is it, Haizaki kun?" Coach said
"if you're just gonna let this guy walk free, then we'll eliminate him in Kidou's place!" Haizaki yelled
""eliminate" him, what an alarming thing to say say! Listen closely Haizaki kyun~ Japan has a saying that goes like this, "Innocent until proven guilty" " Coach said
"what?!" Haizaki and Hiroto said
"it's not conclusive yet that ichihoshi kun is a bad person, so you are all forbidden to lay a finger on him." Coach said
"are you stupid?! He's totally the traitor, no matter how you look at it!" Haizaki yelled
"were you even listening to coach? "innocent until proven guilty," Haizaki kun." Ichihoshi said
|night time|
|outside the campground|
"Hey, Endou, Kidou certainly didn't go about it in the most laudable way, but if there was someone right there, trying to hurt you and Gouenji, the I think Kidou's desire to eliminate him is understandable." Kazemaru said
"..."
"Endou?"
"you're right, there were lots of moments he led us to fighting, and I get it but... But Ichihoshi is part of the team." Endou said and smile
"are you serious, Endou?" I sweat drop
Endou smile at me
"that's Endou kun for you." Natsumi said
"Hey, Natsumi!" Endou said
"The next time we meet will be at the world tournament." Natsumi said
"See you there!" Endou said
