Blue Prison, remove the pass button at the beginning

The next practice match

"Good, Rin!"

"The flanks are coming up!"

The second half was also at the end of the set, and it was already in a 3-0 landslide winning atmosphere.

(It's easy to get to the bottom...) But ahead, the pass will not come.

Rin erased his best ideas and chose to capture the overall image.

In my mind, it is like a picture taken from a drone, and I can see the movements of all the players.

（...... The idea of being able to connect to a shot... Not to shoot yourself, but to score the option ....

Rin didn't intentionally pull out the gap and received the pass.

To stop Rin, the defenders gather.

Although dribbling can force a breakthrough, Rin will not do it.

Draw enemies to the last minute.

On the opposite side, teammates who follow up.

On the route connecting the man and the goal, the ball was passed violently.

(Run!) Chasing

the ball from Rin, the guy ran, cooperating with two over one.

The goalkeeper reacts late because he focuses too much on Rin.

Syllable!

Due to Rin's pass, the shot scored.

The teammate exclaimed, "Yay! He shouted.

（...... So boring. If

the brother is there, pass the ball in a dangerous place in front of the goal, I shoot it straight ... Thought of this stopped thinking.

The pass will not come.

Now, that's the reality.

Anyway, the team won for a long time.

"You've worked hard!"

"Your shot is fantastic!"

The happier the supervisor and teammates, the colder Rin became.

However, this is clear.

In order for this team to win, instead of looking for someone who matches your ability, it is better to let yourself match the strength of this team.

Then pull the whole team up.

It's like a genius child who can understand high school math, but must do arithmetic of addition and subtraction in elementary school.

(Even then you have to win.) An agreement with my brother. I'm going to use my new weapon and let the team win to you...!

To catch up with his brother who saw him off at the airport, he would put the team's victory first.

For this, only to kill the ego.

Kill the one who uses the smell of shooting, snatch the goal with his whole body, and build a teamwork attack.

Rin's decision was arguably the best choice for the goal of making the team number one in Japan.

In fact, after Rin changed his style, the team was reborn.

Just like when he was there, he became a winning team.

The atmosphere of the team also improved, and the evaluation of Rin also increased.

"Rin, it's worthy of being an ace!"

"It's really Rin's younger brother!"

Supervision and coaching, it is simply a 180-degree reversal of attitude.

"Another shot on goal! I'm a genius!

"Uh-oh! We are strong! "

As for the teammates, what the hell are they talking about?

No one understood Rin's irritability.

But since you can win, it's good.

Like a line of puppets on teammates, dominate and mobilize the team... This is Rin's new weapon.

Technique, physique, tactical eye, Rin can do it all.

This also allows teammates to maximize their abilities.

The teammates, completely unaware of being induced by Rin, did their best.

Only when you get a pass at the best moment can you have a performance that surpasses the strength.

Ironically, Rin gave up his career as a striker, allowing the team to improve as a whole and gradually grow into a more winning team.

Rin succeeded in becoming Rin's replacement.

Finally, the trophies Rin received increased.

In the competition, the team won the championship and received the best player award.

Next to the trophy, put your own trophy.

（...... In this way, you can catch up with your brother. I

was relieved that my efforts finally had results.

It's just that all this time free football has become something very unfree.

Hard to breathe, boring.

Perhaps because of this pressure, I always watch shark movies of sharks attacking humans these nights.

Watching the giant man-eating shark solve the human bite will feel very refreshing

, the shark is very sensitive to the smell of blood, and the jagged sharp teeth can grow again no matter how many times. I became inexplicably familiar with sharks.

Look at the photo of Rin next to the trophy.

（...... Was my brother also in such a mood?

With a straight face, Rin, in the photo, said nothing.

(My brother must have played football in Japan with such an unfree mood.) That's why I went overseas, I went to Spain... For the pursuit of free football. Pulling

the shackles of the team may also kill himself as a striker.

Finally, I began to understand Rin's mood.

In that case, I just did it myself.

In the photo, it seems that he is smiling slightly.

Rin, who was once a pure striker, became the dominant player on the pitch.

Teammates are pawns.

Move well and win when you reach the goal.

Rin lures out the enemy and destroys it.

Pretend to shoot but break through, pretend to be dribbling but passing. Misleading the enemy, Rin always goes further than the enemy.

This is also the dimension of his thinking is getting higher and higher.

According to the plot he depicted, the game was running.

Not impulsive, but thinking.

The style of play has changed.

However, nothing has changed inside.

(Ah, if only there was a brother around...)

I'm still thinking about the same thing I did in elementary school.

Tsubaki is not only very handsome, but also very gentle.

Taught me happy football and bought me popsicles.

The person who nurtured and created Rin as a striker is Tsubaku.

(I also want two people to play soccer and want to score through my brother's pass.)

(Rin often had such thoughts in her mind.)

Because of this, it is now necessary to completely seal the impulse.

The obsession with goals, the ego as a striker, is not needed for this team.

Moreover, this way of competition, led by supervisors, has also been greatly praised among adults.

Rin finally understands the team's cooperation! Make use of your teammates and contribute to the team! This is Japanese football!

Maybe it's because of the Japanese people's joy. Teamwork is more important than individual skills.

Highly regarded.

For his teammates, Rin is now also a "trustworthy trump card".

One day practice came back.

"Recently, Rin has changed. Have you taken a good look at the games around you? "

Gulping down the convenience store chicken," the striker guy said.

While Rin does a routine overtime practice, the other teammates routinely buy something to eat at the convenience store and go home.

"Changed, changed. He is worthy of being the younger brother of Bin, and he is really talented. The

guy who ate the frankfurter sausage said.

"But I don't understand what he's like?"

The guy who bought tuna rice balls asked while peeling the film on the package.

"Oh, he's so taciturn that he always feels a little scared."

The guy with the potato chips laughed.

Rin's attitude towards football is too ascetic, so there is a lot of pressure to be with him.

If it was a joke during practice, he would stare at it with a terrible expression.

"That... I..."

muttered the guy who ate the melon bread.

"The other day, Rin... I saw it at the station of Enoden ....

"Well, Rin will also ride the E-no-den."

"Rin... Spoken in English by foreign tourists. It seems that I was asked about the station where I got off.

"Poof, that's really choking! That guy doesn't learn at all, right?

"Yes, yes! He's an idiot! However

, the guy held the melon bread tightly, startled, as if he saw a youkai, and said with a pale face.

"That... Answering in English very plainly, the tourist said 'Thank you! Thank you! ’...... That guy actually... I speak English fluently...! "

Isn't it...?"

Everyone stopped and stared.

Yes. Although her test scores at school were so bad that she was blackened, in reality, Rin spoke English almost as well as her native language. I tried hard because I wanted to understand the football commentary live in English.

"That guy is amazing..." The

teammates were amazed by Rin's endless talents.

In this way, Rin was promoted to the third grade of junior high school.

Finally, the Japan Club Youth Championship (U-15), a battle that Rin must not lose, begins.

Therefore, recently became obsessed with Japanese horror films.

It's not gorgeous, but it's scary.

For the scene of peeping at the female ghost through the gap in the partition door, I couldn't help but scream. Fortunately, my room did not have a partition.

I don't know when the horror of the ghost will appear, and this creepy tension is good.

When your back freezes, turn off the TV and lie down.

（...... So, ever since my brother went to Spain, I've loved horror movies... Thinking

in a daze in bed.

Perhaps because he lost the smooth shot that Yuki's passing had brought about before, he sought the thrill of replacement.

At that time, football really gave Rin excitement and enthusiasm.

Oblivious and impulsive, he attacked the goal with an almost crazy rage. Every day is very exciting, and I shudder.

When horror movies make people nervous, they produce a hormone called adrenaline.

After adrenaline secretion, heart rate, blood pressure, and blood sugar levels will rise, and people will become excited and not easy to feel pain and tiredness. That is, enter combat mode.

For Rin, the substitute for the excitement and nervousness of playing with impulse may be the adrenaline of watching horror movies.

Although he unconsciously seeks spiritual stability, he does not manage what is the cause, and is now a complete fan of horror movies.

(Tomorrow is the first battle of the conference...) Definitely win.

Make up her mind and close her eyes.

Rin's team, Kamakura United Juniors, won the tournament.

The semi-finals also won 2-0 to regain their prime, and everyone returned to the dressing room with big smiles on their faces.

"Fantastic! Rin, the final is here too! Give me a good pass! "

The teammate who scored two goals patted him on the shoulder.

“...... Yes. "

That's it.

Next, it's just a complete control of the game.

Rin clenched his fists.

Finally, the final.

Kamakura United Youth VS Kashima Antlers Youth

"Will definitely win!"

"Oops! Scoring today, too! "

The teammates were very motivated, and Rin was the only one looking at his phone.

(Dude, you're on Twitter trend...!)

Itoshi seems to have scored a hat-trick in RE・AL's subordinate organizations.

How amazing this is for the Japanese.

"It's not good, it's powerful, it's so strong." The emotions of fans on Twitter were so frenetic that it felt like they had lost their ability to express themselves.

From trends to reports, Itoshi has been released as a "player who will shoulder the future of Japanese football".

(Brother, on the path of being the world's number one striker!) Not

even losing to first-class players abroad.

If I win this game too...!

The mood is getting more and more excited.

"Let's go, Rin. Race.

At the supervisor's shout, Rin staggered to his feet.

“...... Be. On

the road leading to the stadium, the light pouring in from outside was so dazzling that Rin couldn't help but squint.

Ahead of the bright lies the decisive battlefield.

(This is agreed with my brother, the first level.) After winning this game, I have to catch up with my brother...!! The

opponent in the final, Kashima Antlers Juniors, is an attacking team.

The standard of the striker is high.

Attack refining, a succession of opportunities.

The Kamakura united youth of Rin and others are on the side of the defensive war.

Rin, who mastered the entire court, read the opponent's attack and endured it at the last moment.

“...... Damn it! "

Plop!

Stand up and stop the opponent's shot.

Quickly hold the leaky ball and make a long pass to your own side.

(Here the decision is made to fight back!)

Rin passed the ball in a wonderful position, however, just one step away, and was cleared by the enemy.

(Abominable...!) Run again! After

the attack, although Rin made a decisive pass, the ball was stolen by the opponent.

（...... You can't win this way!

No matter how Rin manipulates the team to pass the ball to the highest scoring point, the opponent's ability is already superior. Even if you bring out the best performance of your teammates, you can't carry over to the end.

(This goes on...) No way. The

attack and defense of one advance and one retreat continued, and the physical strength was on the verge of exhaustion.

The deadlock was 0-0 with only three minutes left in the second half.

(With my pass...) These guys can't score, as long as it's me and my brother can win...! Damn it! Memories

of the past come back.

With the combination with Rin, the final pass from Rin, determined the instant frenzy of the shot. The most comfortable and fanatical football. It's just that the impulse to pursue the end has awakened again.

Rin's eyes harbored the aura of self.

The older brother scored in REAL.

I also just want to take the finish line.

The long-suppressed urge drove Rin.

(You can't lose in this kind of place!)

Suddenly, the thread that manipulated his teammate burst, and at the same time, Rin's switch as a striker turned on.

"Oh my God!"

Steal enemy balls with fierce tackles.

"Fantastic! Rin, fight back! Counterattack! "

Despite our shouting, Rin tried to force a breakthrough with the ball and not pass the ball.

However, the direction of advance was blocked by the enemy.

Rin! Don't hold the ball alone for too long!

The supervisor gave instructions, but they were ignored.

The enemy is getting closer and closer.

"Hey!! What are you doing? Rin! Pass! Pass! The

overseer's anger rang out.

（...... Noisy to death... Don't bind me by looking at your scale!

Rin was not acting recklessly.

Even driven by a strong ego, the brain still looks at the game calmer than anyone else.

In the competition of doing their best, the players' physical strength is on the verge of exhaustion.

Decreased concentration, prone to all kinds of messy and trivial mistakes.

Soon, the performances of the two armies will bottom.

Rin got it all. And then.......

（...... At this time, I saw the route I should have destroyed!! Rin

who broke through from enemy positions with the ball.

Overtake one person, two people, and sprint towards the finish line.

"Wow, that guy is awesome!"

"Eh, that number 10, can you play a ball like that?"

A commotion erupted in the audience.

That is, the game that should be sealed, just for the sake of his own goals.

(I'm alone...) I'm going to score a goal to show you! Galloping

up in the shade.

"Damn it! Stop me!

"Rin, pass! No one is staring at me here! "

This completely different and unexpected move left both the enemy and us at a loss.

"Break that number 10!"

Enemy players who rushed over.

(It's too late.) Pass

the ball lightly when the enemy is pressing.

As if sneering, the ball emerges from a small gap in the enemy and shoots towards his teammates.

"Huh!?"

"Pass the ball now!"

Swoosh!

Enemies gathered on the ball fall together.

Rin just like that, running towards the end.

The companion who received the pass looked at Rin.

"Ugh!"

Rin's eyes were full of murder, something he had never seen before.

It is unimaginable that the usually cold Rin is so hot that it can make people burn at this moment.

If you don't pass the ball now, you will be beaten - no, you will even really be killed!

The companion felt an emotion bordering on fear, overwhelmed by the momentum of the opponent and passed the ball.

Concentrate. Impulse.

Rin's foot touched the ball.

Bang!

A beautiful shot that hits the goal.

"Got in!"

"What a powerful number 10!"

The audience erupted into enthusiastic cheers.

The feeling of rushing into the shooting route for a long time, the thrill of scoring goals with your own power.

"Oooooh!"

Shouting Rin, teammates also gathered.

1-0。

This became the deciding point.

Beep!

Time's up!

Four years of killing yourself and three minutes of freeing yourself.

(Great...!) Great, brother...!

Thanks to Rin's goal, the team achieved the glory of Japan's number one.

Bang.

The ball depicts a bow-shaped trajectory and falls towards the corner of the goal.

The season is winter.

Even if he becomes the number one in Japan, Rin's days will not change.

Practice shooting hard alone after practice at the club.

The teammates left.

It was so cold that white air appeared between breaths.

"Hmm..." won

the Japanese club youth championship, achieving a goal.

During those three minutes, he felt that the distance from him had taken another step

to manipulate others, to use others, and to make them obey him... This is Rin's new weapon.

Bang.

"Good!"

After deciding on a satisfactory goal route, he looked at his smartphone to confirm the time and saw the headlines of the online news.

...... Itoshi temporarily returns to Japan Actual off-season What are the activities in Japan that have been absent for a long time? ......

"Hey, hey."

I couldn't help but smile at the corner of my mouth.

（...... Not seen in four years. Tomorrow, my brother will be back. Long time no see.

At the thought of his brother, Rin said, "Brother is so handsome!" "Back to when I was a child.

For the past four years, he has had little contact with the Spanish government.

Rin didn't come to contact either, thinking that his troubles would be different for Rin who was working hard to be the world's No. 1 striker.

Because of this, the thoughts accumulated for four years are about to overflow.

(What to convey after meeting...?) I've been watching the news. My brother is so good. I also strive to become the number one in Japan. I'll go there too, you wait. What kind of people are there overseas? I...... Like my brother, I can pass the ball. Can you praise me a little bit, just like it was back then.

All sorts of delusions, eventually voiced.

"My brother wants to become the world's No. 1 striker, I want to become the world's No. 2 striker and win the World Cup..."

When I suddenly remembered the essay I published during my elementary school class visit, I seemed to have said the same thing as now.

"Then next, Rin Ito!"

Named by the teacher, stood up and read.

"My dream in the future is to become a football player like my brother. Then my brother became the number one striker in the world and I became the number two striker in the world and won the championship in the World Cup. "

I always felt that I was strange like I was at that time, and I laughed again.

“...... All right! "

For the sake of dreams, restart shooting practice.

Bang!

(It's a bit off-the-beaten...)

Rin's shooting accuracy is due to his uncompromising nature and rigorous training.

Because of the cold, the hands and feet are frozen, and the nose is already red, but the shot is not allowed to deviate.

That being said, tonight was extra cold.

"Ahhh... Snow. "

The reason why it feels cold is snow.

White snowflakes fall from the night sky.

Rin, who grew up in Kamakura, saw snow rarely, and before you knew it, you could see it fascinated.

"The current route is very tender, right?"

Just as his heart was taken away by the drifting snow, a familiar voice came from behind him.

"Ugh."

Looking back, it was Rin.

Falling snowflakes sparkle against the lights of the playground. In the midst of the beautiful shimmering snowflakes, Tsubaki stood there as if he were dreaming.

Rapid heartbeat.

Not an illusion. Rin knew he was carrying a large suitcase and came straight from the airport.

"Brother..." "

I'm number one in Japan!" I used to fantasize about hugging him, however, this is not the case.

Bun's expression was grim, and he looked exhausted.

Although he is a smiling person, he has never really shown such a face in front of Rin.

"You... I'm back.

"Hmm... I am back. "

What's wrong?

Tired of flying?

Or is it physically unwell?

"I haven't seen you in four years, have you...? Saying...... Isn't it scheduled to return home tomorrow? "

...... I haven't seen you for a long time, aren't you happy?

"Ah, it's ahead..."

Why, I always feel that my brother is far away from me.

Lonely, sad, terrifying.

...... Longing for Ito, just chasing, Rin's story ends here.
