From the “U-12 World Cup” held in early autumn, the months passed.

Ever since his return to Japan, Hirosaki Riveriro had a good track record.

First of all, a qualifying round to compete in the National Boys' Football Games.

District Games in October and Provincial Games in November.

These two competitions were successfully won.

The content is also an overwhelming victory.

This was a winning factor with more players to belong to than last year and the team's overall strength was up.

Among them, the 12 regular players who participated in the "U-12 World Cup” were growing rapidly.

As a result, coaches and some games were developed with extractions that discouraged regular players.

I was hiring 4th or 5th graders looking ahead to next year to improve my overall level.

Now that Me and Hyoma, you guys are out of sixth grade, we'll figure it out next year.

And it will be late December.

The biggest tournament of elementary school, the National Boys' Football Games, had begun.

We, Hirosaki Liberillo, will be competing for the fourth consecutive year this year.

For that reason, the coaches and the players could afford it.

This is not alarm in a bad way, but leeway in a good way.

Anyway, when I first appeared three years ago, I was all nervous and hard.

But we were all more relaxed this year than ever before.

What, I haven't been nervous for three years... what?

Oh, I guess so......

Anyway, the team went well at the national tournament!

The league of qualifying starts first.

This could pass with an unsafe total win.

Just as in the District Prefectural Games, coaches will hire players who are modest depending on the circumstances.

Athletes next year get great experience, even if they just feel the air of the national tournament in any way.

Team building is not possible overnight.

It would be the strength of history, due to these accumulations of experience.

The national tournament tournament begins after the league.

This one is going well.

We will win the quarterfinals and the semifinals will win.

And the rest of the finals...

"The winner is Hirosaki Liberillo! What a third consecutive victory in the history of the National Games!

We were able to win.

Moreover, it also came with the honor of being the first three consecutive victories in the history of the Games.

This national tournament also had quite a struggling occasion.

But I managed to win.

This time, I look back at the winning factor I was able to win.

This year Hiromae Riveriro (Hirosaki) was the most mature team in the last four years.

There were no gaps across the offense and the player base was thicker.

In particular, the offensive team has an overwhelming record of tournament scores.

Hyoma, you, Aoi, and my attacking trio put the enemy team at the bottom of their fears as the "Devil's Triangle (Apparently)".

The defense was also considering it.

Two pairs of six-year examples and me were at the centre, keeping the least loss.

This is the creepy name "Ant Hell," feared by each team (apparently).

"Compared to that Serbio Garcia, you didn't have anything to be afraid of!

"Oh, yeah, sometimes his dribble comes out of my dreams!

Two of these defensive examples are probably the most grown players back from the "U-12 World Cup”.

Not so long ago, your confrontation with Serbio would have changed their consciousness dramatically.

He is a reliable companion.

"All right, let's do the alignment"

The finals are over and aligned on both teams.

Greet each other and thank the audience.

Then, as usual, the closing ceremony and the awards ceremony.

We received medals as the winning team, and Hyoma was honored as the Games Scoring King.

What a leopard you have been, for the first time in ten years, updating the record of the Games scoring king.

Updates that make a big difference, too. Rumor has it they won't be broken in the future.

After that, just like last year, it was a bumpy schedule.

After the closing ceremony, Hirosaki Riverillo receives a lot of media coverage.

It was quite a few, including TV and radio, football magazines and online news.

Personally, again this year, coaches and captains, leopard of the competition scoring king, and three women's MVP sunflowers (ahoy) were being interviewed.

On the other hand, I didn't have any personal interviews this year.

I gave up on this every year.

and ho......

I've been thinking about it for a long time, but maybe I'm pretty plain.

This is something I've been thinkin 'about for a long time.

I realize again that it's been three years in a row.

But I'm not hectic about this.

Because I'm just happy to play soccer with five bodies in this world.

With my people, I was just happy to sweat in football.

Anyway, let's wait until we're done covering the three coaches.

That is the time.

"Mr. Nolu Courta. Do you have a minute?

"What...?

I was waiting for an adult to talk to me.

Guess who?

Maybe someone from the press finally came to interview you?

TV or newspaper? Or maybe it's a football magazine you love reading.

With that in mind, I raise my face.

But it wasn't a media official who was there.

"I guess it's nice to talk to you like this. Do you understand me?

"Yes, you're the director of the Yokohama Mariners U-12, right?

"Yes, I am."

It was the director of the Yokohama Mariners U-12 who had spoken out.

I remember my face because I've been at the national tournament for four years now and I fought like every year.

We fought in yesterday's quarterfinals this year and we won.

But what the hell is a director of such an enemy team for?

No way. 'I missed the win for three years because of you guys! Apologize!' And will you be angry?

Let's just get ready to get out of here.

"You don't have to be so vigilant, Mr. Nolu Courta. I'm just here today on behalf of a colleague."

"Are you an intermediary?

"It's about me. Nice to meet you, Mr. Nolu Courta. This is who I am."

From behind the director, another adult comes out.

The man in the suit has offered me a business card.

"Yokohama Mariners...... are you from HR?

The opponent, like the director, was a member of the staff at the Yokohama Mariners.

He's got a tie in his suit and he feels tough.

Does HR mean someone related to the assignment of coaches and supervisors?

"In fact, in our club, we appreciated Hirosaki Riverillo's excellent performance in recent years. Even though it hasn't been long since it was founded, the feat of winning three straight National Boys Football Games is fantastic!

People in HR have praised our team quite a bit.

I'm going to admire the team results so far.

No, when you're so praised by someone on your rival team, you're going to be happy and embarrassed.

(Hmm? Wait, what if... what about this guy?

My instincts worked.

Gaze at our coach, who is being interviewed by the press in a remote location.

(What if you're going to headhunt our coach?

That prediction floated in my brain.

From the attitude of people in HR, this would definitely be the case.

Anyway, Hirosaki Riverillo's coach has done well in recent years.

It was the first national tournament to compete three years ago, and suddenly the top eight.

He won for the first time the following year and has since achieved three successive feats.

In addition, he was leading the team to victory this fall at the U-12 World Cup.

Wind rumors say the coach is in the football industry and is called the “Northeast Wisdom General”.

The boy's soccer magazine also featured an interview with the coach on Doya's face.

If you look at it objectively like this, you would be a pretty good coach.

Even without her on the 30th and her feet stinking, it could be a coach's job.

(Coach gets scouted by the Yokohama Mariners... What will the coach do?

The Yokohama Mariners, the prestigious J-Club, will also be treated fairly well.

Salaries should also be greatly increased and will also emerge in the football industry in the future.

If things go well, you could be the head of the Yokohama Mariners' top team.

It may not be my dream to become the director of a Japanese delegate.

If you think about the future of the coach, maybe there's a transfer.

(But if you mean it, I miss you a little...)

I'm three months away, and I'm graduating from this team.

But if your coach will be in the same city, you can always go play.

I wanted to go show my coach what I looked like growing up in middle school.

"Uh, Nolu, Coata, would you like to ask me a few questions?

"What? Yes?

If I was such a delusion, someone from HR would have asked me a question.

What the hell is that?

"Nolu Courta, after you graduate from elementary school, have you decided on your path yet?

"What, me? I'm going to my neighborhood's middle school."

Someone from Human Resources suddenly asked me about my privacy.

To avoid making a bad impression of the coach, answer honestly.

I'll be in middle school in four months.

The path was through in my previous life, I plan to go to a local neighborhood middle school.

Or there's no other option in the country.

"So have you made up your mind about football clubs and clubs yet?

"Is it football? No, I didn't decide."

Hirosaki Riveriro is now the only junior team in elementary school.

So at the same time as you graduate from elementary school, your team will also graduate.

Previously, seniors had joined local middle school football clubs and other clubs with junior youth.

Oh, but the seniors these days, some of them went into prestigious middle schools with strong football in the province.

Everything Last year and last year, Hirosaki Liberillo has national domination.

Those who were regulars at that time were among the best players in the province.

Speaking of which, I wonder if the seniors are all well.

The prestigious middle school football club has heard that practice is like hell.

"Ho, you haven't decided on a football path yet, have you?

"Oh, yes."

The HR guy's eyes lit up.

Did I say something rude?

But I haven't really decided how to go about football.

I wanted to focus on this national boys' soccer tournament, and I was going to decide after it was over.

"Then make sure you're at my Yokohama Mariners club!

"What...?

"It has an all-door system in Yokohama and some middle schools are partnered with it. Of course I will cover the cost of moving and tuition and the cost of football here for three years. I mean, Nolu Courta, your parents don't have any burdens!

It was just a development.

The aim of the HR person was not the coach.

This is what I was after.

I was scouted by the Junior Youth of the J-League's prestigious team, the Yokohama Mariners.
