Blue prison monster

As he thought this, Yoichi Isagi looked at Hyori Yo and Nanase Nijiro walking in front of him, thinking to himself:

(They must be thinking the same thing.)

(In this adaptability test, even teammates will become outright rivals!!)

(Speaking of which, Hyori Yo seems to be very familiar with Ryusei.)

(I remember Ryusei telling me that Hyori Yo was a good teammate in the first selection round.)

(Huh? Wait a minute, Ryusei and Rin were also teammates in the first round, so does that mean the three of them were on the same team in the first round?)

(This guy has a natural advantage. He must be more familiar than us with how to cooperate with Rin and Ryusei.)

(Judging from how he interacts with Ryusei, he seems like a relatively easygoing person. I really want to ask him for advice.)

"Um, Hyori..."

But before Yoichi Isagi could finish speaking, Nanase Nijiro muttered directly,

"Oh my goodness!"

"Huh?"

Yoichi Isagi obviously didn't understand what Nanase Nijiro was saying, and looked at him curiously.

Nanase Nijiro showed a sunny smile and said,

"I feel like as long as I perform well in this match, entering the U-20 national team will no longer be a dream."

Yoichi Isagi looked at Nanase Nijiro's cheerful appearance and asked doubtfully,

"Oh my goodness?"

(Also, this guy is so proactive.)

Nanase Nijiro blushed and replied embarrassedly,

"Ah, I'm sorry!"

"In my hometown, it means 'excited, thrilled'!"

"If I accidentally speak in dialect, just ignore it!"

"My name is Nanase, I'm a first-year high school student, nice to meet you!"

(He must be from some rural area.)

Nanase Nijiro showed a cheerful smile, with a hint of admiration in his tone,

"So you're a senior!"

"I will humbly ask for your guidance and work hard!"

Yoichi Isagi was also a little embarrassed and replied,

"Oh, oh!"

(This feeling is a bit new.)

(Ah... no wonder, it's always been kill or be killed before.)

Yoichi Isagi put on a pair of dead fish eyes and couldn't help but recall his previous experiences.

[Rin Itoshi: I'll kill you]

[Hyoma Chigiri: I'll slaughter you]

[Jinpachi Ego: FUCK OFF!]

(In 'Blue Lock', this kind of straightforward person should be a rare species.)

"Please take care of me too, over there..."

"Your name is Hyori Yo, right?"

Hyori Yo, who was called by name, also nodded and said,

"You don't have to be so polite, I'm also a second-year high school student."

"Nice to meet you ~"

Yoichi Isagi clearly heard the strange tone in Hyori Yo's voice.

"Hmm? Kansai dialect!"

Hyori Yo obviously didn't expect to be recognized, and replied blankly,

"Yeah, I'm from Kyoto."

But that's right, after all, Ryusei Bando hadn't noticed it after spending so much time with him, Hyori Yo thought he spoke very normally.

Nanase Nijiro seemed to have thought of something, held up a finger, and said,

"Ah!"

"If it's Kyoto, then it's that, right?"

"Huh? How do you say it..."

Then Nanase Nijiro's eyes lit up, and he finally remembered.

"'YANNWARI'!"

Yoichi Isagi looked at Nanase Nijiro's appearance and corrected with a smile,

"It's 'HANNWARI', right?"

Hyori Yo was directly amused and said happily,

"Pfft!"

"Then I'll be a little more gentle."

Nanase Nijiro scratched the back of his head and laughed a little embarrassedly,

"Ahahaha!"

"I got it wrong!"

Yoichi Isagi also laughed and said,

"Haha!"

"Really!"

Hyori Yo pretended to complain, and then continued,

"It's reassuring to have teammates like you."

"That's right! It feels like home!"

Yoichi Isagi looked at Nanase Nijiro and Hyori Yo and thought strangely in his heart,

"Huh? This is..."

"What's going on with this friendly and harmonious world line!?"

"How can there be this kind of mysterious sense of unity!!"

At this time, Yoichi Isagi finally remembered the question he originally wanted to ask, and looked at Hyori Yo and said,

"Oh, right, Hyori,"

"I heard Ryusei say that you were his teammate in the first selection round, and also Rin's teammate."

"Although I also played a match with them, it was basically dominated by the two of them, and I didn't play any role."

"Rin is fine, but Ryusei, I don't know him very well. You seem to have a good relationship with him."

"So I want to ask you, what special things do I need to pay attention to when cooperating with him?"

In fact, Yoichi Isagi regretted it a bit after asking. No matter what, they are now in a competitive relationship.

To just let others tell him important information, Yoichi Isagi felt that he was very impolite now.

But to Yoichi Isagi's surprise, Hyori Yo really answered his question.

"Well, although I cooperated with the two of them in four matches,"

"But to be honest, they didn't need me much of the time. Both of them have strong individual abilities."

"So most of the time, I just passively cooperated with them. In fact, only in the last of those four matches did I show my 'self' in front of them."

"I don't know how much they have grown now, but for how to cooperate with Ryusei, it's actually very simple."

"You just need to appear in the position he needs at the crucial moment."

"Oh, and Ryusei likes super-precise passes, because that way his shots will be more threatening than usual."

"Hmm, I see, thanks, Hyori."

Yoichi Isagi nodded as if he understood, touching his chin and thinking to himself,

"(I may not be able to do super-precise passes, but I can definitely appear in the position he needs!)"

"(Next, I must first 'coexist' with them and then surpass them!!)"

Seeing the two finally stop talking, Nanase Nijiro opened his mouth with a shocked face,

"Huh? No way, you guys are acquaintances with the first and second place?"

"And especially you, Hyori, you were actually teammates with them in the first round!"

"So does that mean I'm the only one who's not familiar with them? Am I going to be in trouble later?"

Hyori Yo looked at Nanase Nijiro's bitter face and couldn't help but laugh,

"Don't worry, Nanase, Rin might not be easy to get along with, but Ryusei is a very enthusiastic person."

"The first time I met Ryusei, he came up to me and talked to me, saying he wanted to be friends with me."

"Huh? Is that so? That's really easy to talk to."

Nanase Nijiro also returned to his cheerful smile, looking at the exit of the passage, and said,

"But, don't hate each other in the future, okay!"

"That's right, after all, life depends on this one match!"

Yoichi Isagi listened to the conversation between the two, the corners of his mouth raised, his eyes full of fighting spirit staring at the exit of the passage.

"Yeah, everyone must give it their all!"
