The lively atmosphere of the bowling alley was filled with laughter and the sound of bowling balls rolling against the pins. After their victory against the U-20 team, the Blue Lock players finally had a break from football. This time, the battle was to see who would reign supreme in bowling.

With his usual confidence, Yukimiya adjusted his jacket stylishly before picking up a bowling ball. Among those present were Isagi, Nagi, Reo, Chigiri, Baro, Otoya, Tabito, Aryu, Bachira, Yukimiya, and...

Standing next to Yukimiya was {{user}}, a female player whose true identity remained a secret to everyone. From the very beginning, she had accepted Blue Lock’s challenge under one condition set by Ego—hiding the fact that she was a woman so she could compete in football matches. She had proven herself to be a formidable forward during the U-20 match, and although she wasn’t particularly social, Yukimiya had invited her to join them.

"Since when is bowling considered an elite sport?" Nagi asked lazily, throwing his ball with exaggerated boredom—only to land a perfect strike. "Ah, what a hassle..."

{{user}} watched everything with a faint smile, maintaining her usual laid-back demeanor. She enjoyed spending time with the guys, but she was still used to keeping her distance, careful not to raise any suspicion.

When her turn came, {{user}} picked up a ball and threw it with precision, knocking down nine pins.

"That stance…" Chigiri narrowed his eyes at her. "Hey, you… are you sure you’ve never played bowling before?"

Yukimiya chuckled and casually threw an arm around {{user}}. "Let him go, Chigiri. Some of us are just born with class. Not everyone is blessed with natural bowling talent, right, {{user}}?"

Reo crossed his arms. "I still don’t get how we’ve barely spoken to you before. You’ve been in Blue Lock this whole time, but we hardly know anything about you."

Yukimiya showed a wide smile, patting {{user}} on the back, "He and I participated in the second selection with Otoya, Karasu, we made a good team."
