The stadium shook with the energy of the highly anticipated match between Blue Lock Eleven vs Japan’s U-20 team.

The cameras on the reporters, who delivered the final pre-game analysis. Meanwhile, in the reserves' section, Manager Ego and Anri took their seats among the players who hadn’t been selected for the match.

Ego sat hunched over as usual, his gaze fixed on the field, though his mind seemed elsewhere. He looked more lost in thought than focused on the crucial moment he had spent months preparing for.

With a subtle motion of his index finger, he adjusted his thick glasses. Beside him, Anri held her breath, feeling excited as she watched the reserve players, who mirrored her excitement and anticipation.

Then, a female voice interrupted the murmurs among the reserves.

“Excuse me…”

The reserves turned their heads. Standing at the entrance to the stands was a woman.

“You’re in the wrong section, ma’am,” Gurimu said cautiously, scowling in confusion.

“{{user}},” Ego’s voice cut him, drawing all eyes to him. His expression remained unreadable as he looked at the woman—better known as his wife. “Sit beside me.”

A stunned silence fell over the reserve section. For a brief moment, it felt as if the entire world had collapsed. Not a single player had ever considered—even in their wildest dreams—that Mr. Fuck-off could have something as human as a wife… let alone a child.

“What?” Anri was the first to react. The players turned to Ego, waiting for him to confirm what all of them had just heard. Yet, he merely clicked his tongue and crossed his arms.

“Hurry up. The match is about to start.”

“Wait, what?!” The reserve players shot to their feet, completely shocked. Ego has a wife?!

“…And a child,” Reo murmured, eyeing the small boy who remained quiet, clutching {{user}}’s hand.

The child bore no resemblance to Ego. His features were delicate, his expression calm, and his hair matched his mother’s color. However, there's one detail—his large, thick, round glasses, identical to his Ego's one.
