Three days have passed since the coach told us about the U-15 Japanese representative.

I was still worried about getting the call.

"What shall we do..."

Sigh as you lift on the practice field.

It's 5: 00 in the early morning. It's still a bleak time.

Actually, I was so worried, I woke up.

Of course there's no one on the practice field yet.

He was troubled while lifting by himself.

"Really, what shall we do..."

What is bothering me is the booking of the schedule.

If it's true, I'd like to take the story of the U-15 Japanese representative.

But there were overlapping schedules with Hirosaki Liberillo and the delegates.

Moreover, by extension, the most important district and provincial competitions. I was booking on these two.

"Without me and Leopard, the team will challenge the district and prefectural competitions..."

Simulate in your brain as you lift.

Calculate the current strength of Hirosaki Riveriro and his future growth rate.

Data from district and provincial rival teams will be calculated from practice matches this fiscal year.

"Damn... don't be a tough fight"

Lifting, blushing.

A district tournament would have a 80% chance of winning.

But then the provincial tournament is mighty. It's about 50% chance of missing the win.

"After all, I don't care what you think, I don't score enough..."

I'm going to calculate the scoring power of the team over the past year.

You and I, the ace leopard, accounted for 70% of the team's total score.

In other words, with the two of them missing, the attack will be drastically reduced by 70%.

Whatever the calculations in this situation, it is difficult to win the provincial tournament.

In other words, competing in a national tournament was a difficult calculation.

"Then refuse to convene the U-15 Japanese delegate...?

It was a last resort.

I can't imagine what it would be like to turn down an age-specific representative.

Maybe it pisses off the great folks at the football association.

Also before Hiroshi Riverillo, it can cause trouble. The football industry in this day and age is a narrow and tough world.

"Will you only come back at the tournament while attending the U-15 Japan delegate? No, I can't do it at a distance..."

I'll try to simulate all the possibilities.

But any operation was absolutely impossible.

So much bad luck and booking schedules.

"Then abandon the team and give up the national tournament? Are we supposed to work hard for next year?

Hiromae Riverillo next year will have gained more overall strength than this year.

Then don't push it, there may be a proposal to bet next year.

"No... The captains are in sixth grade, and this is their last tournament. He won't be here next year!

Eliminate your own foolish measures from your head immediately.

I was really looking out for the current sixth graders.

Since I joined the team in first grade, I've been really well looked after.

Besides, I knew my predecessors had been working hard.

I was watching what I was crying about when I finally became a regular.

He always protected me during games when I was a busy junior. I also felt that on my back.

"You can't give up on those seniors' dreams..."

I will never give up this year's national tournament either.

Then we have to think of other measures.

We need to find a way to fight so that we can all feel free to regret it.

"Think... think..."

Think, Nolu Coata.

What have you been living in football for?

You lead the way out of the memories of football in your previous life and from experience.

"Damn, not this one either... Damn, not this one either..."

Explore all possibilities.

But the calculations fail all the time.

After all, there's nothing you can do about it?

Do I have to give up going to the National Convention as a member of this year?

"Ugh..."

Stuck, I fail to lift.

He drops the ball and falls straight off his knees.

I need to get up and think again.

But my body was heavy as lead, and I couldn't get up.

My heart was breaking.

All the possibilities to explore are gone.

I'm in what you call a "packed state”.

"Damn...... eh?

I tried to cry down to repentance, at that time.

All of a sudden one ball flew towards me.

Trap with your feet reflexively and take it.

"What? Huh? What? Huh?

I was even more surprised.

The ball flew in one after another.

I get up and trap so I don't miss it.

What the hell happened?

It's only 5: 00 in the morning.

Is it that an occult phenomenon has occurred?

The ghost kicked the soccer ball?

Suddenly I couldn't keep up with my thoughts.

"Hmm? Is that...?

That's when I lose my word, staring at the shadows around the practice.

It wasn't the ghost who kicked the ball.

"Captains... seniors... and everyone?

It was his teammates who kicked the ball.

They are all members, from fourth through sixth graders of athlete courses.

Early morning practice is only an hour away, so why is everyone here?

"Coata, you were chosen as the U-15 Japan's special player frame, right?

"What, Captain...?

Unexpectedly lose words to the captain's remarks.

The only three people who know this story are me, you and Leopard and your coach. I haven't even told my parents yet.

"I'm guessing you had an overlapping schedule of delegates and teams and you were worried?

"What... why, about that... Captain"

Lose more words.

I didn't talk to anyone about what was bothering me.

I hadn't talked to your coach or your leopard yet.

"Cauta's been in her face since freshman year."

"You found out, Chi's"

"You did. I was a really stupid, honest, lying junior."

The seniors were smiling bitterly.

What I was worried about was so obvious.

I was spending some time at Poker Fay, but I was spotted in an instant. I was trying to fix it, but I wasn't fixing it at all.

"Coata, go! Sawamura and I, go to Japan!

The captains were guessing everything.

I was booking a schedule and I was worried about it. That I was worried about what to do with the district and prefectural competitions.

"What... but Captain..."

"Silly! As much as a district and prefectural tournament, we're the only ones left to win! I will definitely win you. So, you go in peace!

The Captain's words had weight.

There was a strong will in those eyes. It was really dazzling emotion.

"Seniors..."

The seniors illuminate the darkness of the stray that was nestled in me.

My own heart has trembled at their words and thoughts.

I couldn't believe my teammates, I'm starting to embarrass myself.

"Thank you......"

I bow my head deeply to my predecessors.

At the same time, unspeakable, warm emotions have engulfed me.

Soon it was flowing off, my own big tears. My buddy's fever came through.

"I'm going to Japan."

"Oh. Go. And come rampage. Until our minute."

"Yes, Captain. And everybody!

Shake hands with the captain who came running over.

Shake hands with the seniors as well.

My 5th grade peers and my 4th grade juniors will also shake hands with everyone who rushed me.

Too much power, my right hand nearly broke.

But even that pain, it was comforting now.

What makes this right hand jingle is the heat of the thought of believing in your people.

"Now, do you want to start your morning practice as usual, Coata?

"Yes, Captain. And, Hyoma, thank you so much."

"... Shit, you noticed me, Courta"

Before we practice in the morning, I speak to you, the hidden leopard.

I was watching over us from behind the practice floor.

This setup must be you, Leopard.

I would have told the captains about the scheduling problem.

Hyoma was worried about me when I got lost.

"And the sunflower, thank you. Contact me."

"Eh heh... I knew your brother would find out"

Speak up to my sister, Aoi, who was also hiding.

The sunflower came out looking illuminated.

Before 5: 00 this morning, this sister was the only one who knew I'd come out of the house flirtatious.

I'm sure he worried. He would have contacted the captains in an emergency e-mail at the Parents Association.

"Aoi, I'll take care of your absence."

"Leave the district and provincial competitions to the sunflowers! Even for your brother, because the sunflower takes the dot!

The sunflower slaps the pong and chest and smiles. He had a really reliable smile.

In kindergarten, my sister, who was so small... was such a reliable player at some point.

"Thanks. I'll work hard on behalf of the sunflower, too!

"Yay, glad!

The moving sunflower, it held me.

I'm growing up, but these places, I was just a kid.

Plus being hugged in front of your teammates is a little embarrassing.

(Captains... seniors... everyone... and sunflowers. Thanks so much......)

I'm in my heart, again, crushing.

I thanked my trusty teammates.

All right.

Of the team I'm leaving behind, no more worries.

On the contrary, my teammates gave me more courage and strength.

With this power, I don't feel like losing to any opponent.

"Well, representative. Looking forward to it, Coata."

"Right, Mr. Hyoma! Let's do our best!

Thus, I was safely appointed to join the U-15 representative of Japan.
