Blue prison monster

More than an hour later at the training grounds...

Both of them were lying on the ground, panting heavily, neither able to stop the other in the end.

“Hey, would you say this is a draw?”

“I won. I got past you one more time.”

Wanjou Ryuga lay on the other side, not knowing what to say in his embarrassment, and could only force himself to break the silence.

“Uh.... that tempura yesterday was pretty good, oh, and that steak was pretty good too.”

“Brother.....”

“Huh? What are you saying, Rin?”

Wanjou Ryuga got up and walked to Itoshi Rin, who was lying on the ground, and asked with a puzzled expression.

“How much do you know about me and Itoshi Sae?”

“Ah? Just a little. I only heard it through the grapevine.”

Wanjou Ryuga wasn't lying about this. When he read the Blue Lock manga in his previous life, he skipped over the character flashbacks, so he really only knew a little.

Itoshi Rin looked at the sky as if reminiscing, and was silent for a while before speaking.

“When I was very young, I thought my brother was everything to me.....”

“Brother..... was always so cool.”

“Brother..... was amazing.”

“Brother..... was so gentle.”

“Brother..... was very competitive.”

“Brother..... was invincible.”

Listening to Itoshi Rin's extreme brother-complex speech, Wanjou Ryuga couldn't help but interject.

“Hold on, aren't you just a brother-complex kid?”

“Shut up, you brainless idiot. That was when I was a kid, listen quietly.”

Wanjou Ryuga was about to continue his retort but was blocked by Itoshi Rin's words. Then Itoshi Rin continued to reminisce.

“Later, my brother and I started playing soccer together. Our combination as a two-man striker force was invincible.”

“As long as my brother was there, I could be invincible.”

“My dream at the time was only one thing: to become the best in the world with my brother!”

“But..... later my brother went to Spain, to the youth training camp of the world's number one club at the time, 『RE・AL』, to play soccer.”

Hearing this, Wanjou Ryuga was stunned and immediately looked at Itoshi Rin and said excitedly.

“What? Can you contact your brother? If I get eliminated here in the future, can I go to that club through your brother's connections?”

“If you, you brainless idiot, interrupt me again, get out of the training ground immediately!”

“Uh... hehe, you go on, you go on. I promise I won't interrupt you anymore.”

Itoshi Rin took a deep breath and continued to reminisce.

“After my brother left, I was a little lonely at the time, or rather, there was no one on the field who could replace my brother and run to the position I needed.”

“I once wanted to replace him, wanting to make that team the best in Japan!”

“But everything changed after my brother came back...”

Itoshi Rin said here, no longer lying on the ground but slowly sitting up, his tone also heavier.

“I remember that day everyone had left, and I wanted to practice a little more before going home, just to catch up with my brother as soon as possible.”

“At that time, snowflakes began to fall in the sky, and I still remember the feeling of the cold air being sucked into my lungs.”

“My brother, whom I hadn't seen for four years, surprisingly came back early. I was really happy at the time.”

“But his eyes no longer had the confidence and invincibility of four years ago, as if he had become a different person.”

Itoshi Rin paused for a moment, his voice beginning to carry anger as he continued.

“He actually told me that his dream had changed?”

“He said the world was big, and there were people better than him.”

“He didn't want to be the world's best striker anymore, he wanted to become the world's best midfield commander!”

“I kept questioning him at the time, aren't you a striker? Becoming the best in the world at something else is meaningless.”

“He actually said that only people who haven't seen the world would say that!”

“How could he say such a thing? Abandoning our dream just like that, saying that he would let me become the world's best striker, and he would become a midfielder?”

“After that, it was like the one-on-one between you and me today. He said that if I could beat him, he would chase our dream with me again.”

“But if I lost, our dream would end there!”

“The result was obvious. Itoshi Sae, who went to the world's top club, was vastly different from me at the time.”

“I lost without a doubt. Losing at that time, I couldn't find any reason to play soccer anymore.....”

After another silence, Itoshi Rin's voice was full of anger and even hatred.

“To him, I was just a sparring partner he needed to become the best in the world. Once I had no value, he didn't need me anymore!”

“His past kindness and gentleness towards me were also just an act because I had value!”

“What two people chasing a dream together! That guy Itoshi Sae messed up my life!”

“But he took it for granted and went to pursue his dream!”

Itoshi Rin gradually calmed down as if he had vented, and looked at Wanjou Ryuga and said.

“You asked me before to think about what my reason for playing soccer is?”

“From that time on, I only play soccer for one reason.”

“And that is, to destroy Itoshi Sae's dream!”

After listening to what Itoshi Rin said, and recalling the content of the manga he had read in his previous life, Wanjou Ryuga felt an increasingly familiar feeling in his heart.

(Why are these two brothers so similar to the brothers in a certain color contact lens family plot? This kid Itoshi Rin doesn't have a nickname called "Sasuke", does he?)

Putting the吐槽aside, Wanjou Ryuga immediately came to his senses and said with some insight.

“I see, Lin, you don't think that Itoshi Sae destroyed your life or used you or anything.”

“What makes you the angriest is that your amazing brother became full of decadent words, and the brother who easily gave up is the root cause of your anger!”

“And think about it carefully, Itoshi Sae who came back to see you at that time, if he didn't care about you, how could he have come to see you at the first moment he came back?”

“Although you said that his eyes didn't have the confidence of those years and even his dream had changed, he still cared about you the most.”

“Think about it carefully, Lin, he didn't stop fighting alongside you, and he didn't stop chasing dreams with you.”

“What he wanted was for you to become the world's best striker, and for him to become the world's best midfield commander to assist you!”

“But you didn't understand what he meant, and you even had the idea that you had no reason to play soccer.”

“That's why Itoshi Sae scolded you, I would scold you too, people expect you to become the world's best striker.”

“But instead of aiming to become the world's best striker, you aim to continue chasing dreams with your brother and become the younger brother of the world's best striker?”

“That's why I say you're too naive. Your brother's goal is to be the best in the world, and what your brother wants is for you to play soccer with the goal or reason of being the best in the world.”

“Instead of the so-called reason of chasing dreams with your brother.”

“You just don't know how to cherish it. If I had a brother like Itoshi Sae to assist me, I would probably wake up laughing in my dreams.”

After Wanjou Ryuga finished speaking, he directly immersed himself in the fantasy of Itoshi Sae assisting him and then scoring goals like crazy.

Now is fantasy time! 《You can refer to the emoticon pack in the paragraph review》
