The Fate we Choose (Inazuma Eleven GO/CS/Galaxy)

Chapter 18 This Match

Tsurugi POV

Aoi: "Mirai-chan!"

"Hm?"

I look towards the bench. I couldn't see Mirai's face but I could tell she was really pale.

What's up with her...?

Isozaki: "Man, these guys suck. If this is all they've got, we didn't have to waste our energy on them."

Tenma: "Wait!"

I look towards Tenma.

Tenma: "The game... Isn't over yet!"

Mirai POV

Tenma: "The game... Isn't over yet!"

!

I looked up to see Tenma standing up.

"...Tenma..."

Aoi: "Tenma!"

Isozaki: *sigh* "We can't have that. You need to go to sleep like the rest of them!"

Tenma got hit with the ball again.

Tenma: "Ugh!"

!

I flinched and looked away. But when I looked again, Tenma was getting up again.

Isozaki: "What?"

Sakazaki: "He took Isogaki-san's ball and he still stood up?"

Tenma: "I will... I will protect soccer. For that, I have to keep winning!"

"Tenma..."

!

Marigold: Onee-chan when we grow up let's play soccer together and win!

"...Mari..."

Isozaki: "You little brat! I'll crush you!"

Tenma: "Ugh!"

Aoi: "Tenma!"

Tenma got hit in the face this time...

Tenma... don't give up!

Isozaki: "Quit wasting our time!"

Tenma: "I have... to win!"

Mannouzaka's players kept getting angry and kicked the ball at Tenma multiple times. But Tenma kept getting back up.

Tenma: "I have to win."

Busujima: "You little...!"

Tsurugi: "Out of the way! The way you guys do things is too slow!"

Tsurugi kicked the ball high up.

Tsurugi: "This is how you destroy someone!"

Tsurugi jumped and was about to kick the ball.

Shindou: "Tsurugi!"

"Tsurugi, no!"

Tenma: "Ugh!!"

Tsurugi landed and then turned around.

Everyone: !

Tenma...!

Tenma: "...I have to win."

Tsurugi: "Why? Why are you standing back up?"

Tenma: "Why? Because I love soccer!"

!

Marigold: I love soccer!

"Tenma... you..."
