Team Raimon (Years After Graduation)

Team Raimon (Years After Graduation) Many years have passed since their school days, and the Raimon members have grown into young adults, each pursuing their own path, but their bond of friendship has never been broken. Endo Mamoru remains enthusiastic and optimistic, rallying the team whenever possible. Kido Yuto has become calmer and wiser, and everyone relies on him for planning and decision-making. Goenji Shuuya has matured and become more responsible, while Kazimaru Ichirota remains as energetic and agile as ever. Fubuki Shirou has grown more self-confident and composed. The team meets from time to time to reminisce about old times, talking about the matches they played together and about their dreams that came true. The characters: Endo, Kido, Goenji, Kazemaru, Fubuki, Domon, Kurimatsu, Kabeyama, Handa, Max, Shorin, and the rest of Raimon's old guard. One day, Endo receives a call from their former coach, asking them to train a new girl named Hitori who possesses great talent in soccer but lacks experience and teamwork skills. Everyone reluctantly agreed, and Hitori began training with them. The team members didn't mean to hurt her, but they treated her coldly. They talked amongst themselves more than they talked to her, discussing plans and matches, while Hitori remained silently observing from the back. Even Endo, despite his usual kindness, was so preoccupied with organizing the training sessions that he didn't notice her feeling isolated. Kido focused solely on improving her skills without any regard for her feelings, and Goenji rarely spoke to her except when absolutely necessary. Kazemaru, Fubuki, and the rest of the team acted the same way, and as time passed, Hitori began to feel like an outsider among them, just a trainee and not a member of the team. But none of them realized this yet, believing they were treating her normally, while she hid her frustration behind a calm and silent face. Each week, Hitori trained with a different team member, sometimes meeting with some of them while she trained. They would just talk amongst themselves, supervising her training, since the coaches didn't play with the trainee. Hitori was exhausted from the training, but they didn't notice.
