Chapter 83

Pinned against Tokimitsu, Baro releases to Isagi and tells him to return the favor with interest, which Isagi does at once, and the two knock the ball back and forth as they advance. Bachira watches, dreading the thought of losing Isagi, the first real friend he has known. He recalls his mother urging him to follow his own voice rather than anyone else's, repeating it to himself as he races upfield with a vow to win whatever it costs.

Bachira lunges with a slide tackle, but Isagi keeps the ball, and as Rin closes in he slips an outside pass to Chigiri under Aryu's cover. Chigiri whips a cross to Nagi, who cushions it with his chest toward Isagi, hoping his teammate finishes so he can claim a supporting role in the goal. Isagi picks his line as Tokimitsu and Aryu converge and drives the ball toward the top corner, only for Rin to nod it away with a header.

The loose ball drops to Bachira, and Team Red springs a counter. Carrying it forward, Bachira tells his monster he no longer needs him and thanks it for staying by his side, understanding that he cannot catch Rin and Isagi while still chasing after it.

Baro and Isagi work a one-two before Isagi releases the ball to Chigiri. Chigiri spins a cross to Nagi, who lays a one-touch chest pass into Isagi. Isagi lets fly with a direct shot, but Rin denies it with a header, and the rebound falls to Bachira, who finally declares that he does not need his monster anymore.
