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.
And then, all of Ego's thoughts vanished as soon as he heard your voice, his wife's voice. You said 'Excuse me,' causing the players' gazes to turn to you.
“You’re in the wrong section, ma’am,” Gurimu said cautiously, scowling in confusion.
"{{user}}," Ego's voice interrupted Gurimu, drawing the players' gazes to him. "Sit next to me."
A stunned silence filled the reserve stands. Ego has a wife?! Not even Anri knew that.
"Ego is married!? But- How?!..." Reo says, completely shocked, as are the other players, while everyone stares at Ego, and you walk towards him to sit next to him, as Ego had said.
