Blue prison monster

Itoshi Rin had already learned to block out anything Nagare Bachira said.

He turned and walked straight towards the locker room, not giving Nagare Bachira another chance to speak.

"Eh? Rin! Hey, where are you going, Rin?"

"Seriously? Guys, why is Rin still so shy? Can't he interact with us more?"

"Someone as aloof as him, we're the only ones willing to hang out with him. Sigh~ He's such a pitiful kid."

Nagare Bachira's words left everyone on Team Y speechless.

They really wanted to say, you really understand the meaning of "understanding"!

Hiori Yo quickly changed the subject, saying,

"Bachira, let's quickly change and go eat. That match was too tiring, I'm so hungry."

"Now that you mention it, I'm hungry too. Let's go!"

After speaking, Nagare Bachira took the lead towards the locker room, with the others following behind.

Team Y had been silent the whole time, and only after Nagare Bachira and the others had left,

Kudo Jyubei reacted, kneeling on the ground and pounding the floor with both hands, roaring,

"Damn it!!!!!"

"Why? Why can that monster, Nagare Bachira, still unleash that kind of speed after more than 40 minutes?!"

"Something's also wrong with Itoshi Rin! I shouldn't have sent three people to stop him!"

"Also, if I had sent someone else to challenge for the ball, and I had stayed in the penalty area, there wouldn't have been any other accidents!"

"No, that won't work either! Nothing will work!"

Kudo Jyubei said a lot of things as if venting, before slowly calming down.

"What right do I have to blame others? They all perfectly executed my plan."

"In the end, it's still my fault that caused us to lose this match! If I could have predicted Nagare Bachira's changes—"

"No! It's not a problem of prediction, is it that I'm not fit to be a forward?"

"Indeed, having gotten used to passing, perhaps I'm really not fit to be a forward."

Kudo Jyubei recalled the words Nagare Bachira said to him at the end, gave a wry smile, and was about to walk towards his own locker room.

"Sorry, Kudo!"

Suddenly, the voices of everyone on Team Y rang out behind Kudo Jyubei, apologizing in unison.

Kudo Jyubei turned around, staring blankly at them.

"What are you saying…"

Before Kudo Jyubei could finish speaking, everyone on Team Y interrupted him with a flurry of words.

"Sorry, Kudo, if our two runs at the end could have been a bit faster, Nagare Bachira wouldn't have gotten the ball."

"Yeah, that's right, I definitely need to practice my speed more in the future, although I guess some of us are going to be eliminated."

"Yeah, Kudo, sorry we were so useless, it took three of us to barely contain Itoshi Rin alone."

"Yeah, really sorry, haha, I thought our performance was alright, but I didn't expect to hold you back at the end."

These were the three who had barely managed to contain Itoshi Rin until the end.

They also felt that they were definitely responsible for the last goal that Nagare Bachira scored.

"You guys are still alright, I feel like the two of us didn't play any role at all."

"Yeah, before the formation change, the two of us just stayed in the penalty area, and couldn't block any shots either."

"Want to talk about uselessness? Are you two more useless than us?"

Team Y's left and right fullbacks said with gloomy faces.

"Hahaha, all useless! Everyone is useless!"

"You can't say that, our front three trident is still very powerful."

"Yeah, all the goals our team scored were shot in by them!"

Kukawa Kento, Kobayashijima, and Matsuya Eicei were silent for a moment, and then said apologetically.

"No, although all the goals scored were shot in by the three of us, we also made quite a few mistakes."

"Yeah, I was no match for him in several physical confrontations, and several of my runs didn't reach the perfect position."

"Yeah, if we could perfectly execute Kudo's plan, I feel like we really could have won."

"Really sorry, Kudo, for making you get eliminated with us."

"Yeah, Kudo, even though I'm the top scorer now, I'd rather give you the chance to advance."

"Basically all the goals I scored were directed by you!"

"You bunch of idiots!!!!!"

Kudo Jyubei clenched his fist, lowered his head and roared, and everyone on Team Y was stunned at once.

They didn't understand why Kudo Jyubei had lost control of his emotions again for no reason.

Kudo Jyubei slowly raised his head, and it was easy to see that there were already several tear stains on his face, but he had a smile back on his lips.

"Who would be grateful to the person controlling them? You guys really are a bunch of idiots!"

"And what mistakes did you guys make? As the one who made the plan, shouldn't I be entirely blamed for losing this match?"

"Each and every one of you, what are you taking responsibility for!"

Kukawa Kento took the lead and ran to Kudo Jyubei, putting his arm around his neck and laughing.

"You bastard actually said we were idiots? And what do you mean it's all your responsibility?"

"Yeah, Kudo, we're a team, we celebrate together when we win, and we take responsibility together when we lose!"

"Yeah, I was able to score so many goals thanks to you, Kudo. If I still blamed you, then wouldn't I be inhuman!"

"It's just a pity that I won't be able to play soccer with you anymore."

"Hahaha, I really felt invincible when I played soccer with you, Kudo!"

Kudo Jyubei looked at the laughing crowd in front of him, smiled helplessly, and at the same time, he recalled the past in his mind.

Yes! None of Kudo Jyubei's former teammates were willing to execute his tactics, because to execute Kudo Jyubei's tactics, you had to completely trust him.

Whatever he told you to do, you couldn't do anything else, even if the ball was right in front of you and you were about to grab it, even if you were about to shoot directly and score.

If Kudo Jyubei gave you the instruction to pass the ball, you had to completely trust him and choose to pass without hesitation!

In the past, there had been one or two people who believed in his tactics and executed his plan.

But after failing, they were no longer willing to believe in Kudo Jyubei.

They even blamed him, feeling that it was all his fault for losing the match, after all, we did what you said, so it's your fault for losing.

But they hadn't thought about it, when you started executing Kudo Jyubei's plan and felt that you might lose, then that meant you had never trusted him.

In that case, all your actions would be hesitant, wondering if it was really useful for Kudo Jyubei to tell me to do this?

But now, the feeling that everyone on Team Y gave him was completely different, without blaming him, without asking him the meaning of this action.

Only unconditionally trusting him, believing in every command he gave, believing in every tactic he laid out.

Even everyone on Team Y was reflecting on their own shortcomings, feeling that they hadn't done what he had asked for in his tactics.

Kudo Jyubei looked at the crowd and spoke again.

"You bunch of idiots are indeed very weak, can't keep up with the runs, have simplistic interception movements, lack shooting power, and basically have no on-the-spot performance."

"But… you are willing to believe in me, willing to listen to my commands."

"I'm really grateful to you all for being willing to cooperate with my ruthless tactics."

"It's my honor to be teammates with you!"

Kukawa Kento secretly wiped his eyes, put his arm around Kudo Jyubei's shoulders, and walked towards the locker room!

"When did you become so sentimental, you bastard! Let's go, let's use our goals scored today to exchange for steak!"

"Haha, we get to eat steak!"

The remaining members of Team Y also walked towards the locker room with their arms around each other's shoulders.

They didn't act lifeless like Team Z and Team W after losing the match.

They didn't even listen to anything Ego Jinpachi said.

At this moment, they really became teammates who could rely on each other even after losing the match!
