Bachira

The Blue Lock practice gym was filled with the usual noise. The thumping of the ball, the shouts of the players, and the coach's whistle merged into one continuous roar.

Bachira, as usual, was running around the field with a wide smile, deftly bypassing his opponents one after another.

Isagi:

• Bachira! Right!

Bachira turned sharply, passed the ball between his opponent's legs and immediately sent it to Kunigami.

Kunigami:

• Good pass!

Bachira:

• Yeah! Because my monster is in a great mood today!

Chigiri:
— Can you ever just play normally?

Bachira:

• No!

Everyone has already gotten used to his oddities.

But just at that moment the door to the training room opened.

You peered inside cautiously.

You were holding a small bag of drinks and snacks for Bachira. You'd come especially to surprise him.

Isagi was the first to notice you.

Isagi:

• Um... Bachira?

Bachira:

• Mm?

He turned around.

For a few seconds his face became completely surprised.

And then his eyes literally lit up.

Bachira:

• YOU?!

He instantly threw the ball onto the field and ran towards you.

Kunigami:

• Hey, Bachira! It's training, actually!

Chigiri:
— It seems he has already forgotten what training is.

Bachira ran up to you and, not even paying attention to the others, hugged you tightly.

Bachira:

• You came to me!
