"Yes, Boss" holds Bastard Munchen ahead two to one while Nagi and Reo click into flawless synchrony. Their machine-like passing stuns onlookers, yet both Isagi and Kaiser read the sequence and converge to break it up.
Summary
Isagi is startled to watch Nagi and Reo cooperating so seamlessly, having assumed their bond was fractured. Pressing Reo, Kurona admires the craft, seeing the pair exchange passes like precision machinery. As other Bastard Munchen players puzzle over how the two leveled up so suddenly, Kaiser orders them to break up the move now and analyze it afterward.
Advancing alongside Nagi, Reo can hardly believe that the boy who once found everything tiresome and wanted nothing to do with effort is now speaking of a dream. He recalls the bitterness he nursed toward Nagi after they parted, but decides that painful stretch readied them for this moment. So long as Nagi stays beside him, Reo feels the dreams they can chase have no ceiling.
Nagi, dazzled by Reo's skill, feels Reo's visions flooding into his mind and remarks that the sensation feels incredible. Taking one final pass, Nagi traps the ball on his back and uses his heel to loft it over his head to set up a shot. As it rises, both Kaiser and Isagi materialize in front of him, each insisting he will be the one to steal it, leaving Reo stunned that the rivals saw through their play. Cornered, Nagi backheels to Reo, who grasps that Nagi wants a follow-up pass and, noticing Nagi is not even looking, sends the ball to where he expects Nagi will want it.
Key Events

Notes
