Soccer

"I'm bored."

"Want to play game? Let's play the game of a story [Faptain Tsubasa] you told me before."

"You mean soccer?"

"Yes, yes. The one you mainly kick the ball to goal?"

"It's harder than you think, you know?"

"Really?"

Before answering to her question, Kuro thought quickly inside his mind. Then, he shook his head.

"Nope It's a lie."

"Oh. Then let's play it already!"

"Hol' up, hold up. We don't have ball, right?"

Nakiri who was shaking her body out of excitement for the new 'toy'/game she found, suddenly blanked her face. That's true. They didn't have a ball and soccer is a ball game.

"Soccer ball is made of leather, plastic, rubber and cotton. It's drag to find and do something with it so we use magic."

Luckily Kuro had a Xeroxing Anti Kinetic Plastic. It's durable. Its name is 'anti kinetic' but it's actually a lie. It can nullifies the kinetic energy 'as long as the host' wills it, but it currently has no host and to become its host, blood blah blah, what you usually see at anime.

Not to mention, it's quite durable.

Kuro had a bunch of this inside his ring. It has been multiplying since the time he got it. But it also seems that it has limit that it gradually stopped duplicating at some point.

Alright. Time to make a ball.

[(Main XP) x Center / (XP1-right), (XP2-rightdown), (XP3-down), (XP4-leftdown), (XP5-left), (XP6-leftup), (XP7-up), (XP8-rightup) + attach] x A1

[(XP1) + (XP9), (XP10), (XP11), (XP12) + attach] x A2

[(XP2) + (XP13), (XP14) + attach] x A2.2

[(XP3) + (XP15), (XP16), (XP17), (XP18) + attach] x A3

[(XP4) + (XP19), (XP20) + attach] x A3.2

[(XP5) + (XP21), (XP22), (XP23), (XP24) + attach] x A4

[(XP6) + (XP26), (XP28) + attach] x A4.2

[(XP7) + (XP29), (XP30), (XP31), (XP32) + attach] x A5

[(XP8) + (XP33), (XP34) + attach] x A5.2

[attach(A1) = A2 + A2.2 + A3 + A3.2 + A4 + A4.2 + A5 + A5.2] x F

attach(A6) = A7 + A7.2 + A8 + A8.2 + A9 + A9.2 + A10 + A10.2] x B

F + B = attach / ms(21diameter)

For that, Kuro used programm- rune writing. Basically, each plastic area has an name. That plastic will attach to another plastic and make an area named A1~A5.2 that is the front size. The back size is from A6~A10.2.

When Kuro activated it, both him and Ayame couldn't help but exclaim in amazement. The plastic moving to each other to attach was like ironman suit-up. Because of how interesting it was, Kuro decided to memorise this for the sake of cool-acting.

With this the circle was made. Although it's not the most circle, circle Kuro seen, it was a circle. The problem is it's not inflated enough. The size is written as 21 diameter, but that is nothing but estimated max size. Without air, it's but an ball that doesn't bounce.

"That's cool, Kuro! Make tis' clothes like that, too!"

At this statement, Kuro who was blowing air inside the ball couldn't help but sweat. This girl has already thought of Iron-man before Kuro even story-tell her a single marvel movie.

"I'll think about it."

"Yatta!(hurray)"

At this time, Kuro was already done blowing the air inside Xero Soccer Ball

"Ayame-chan, do you want to go offensive first, or defensive?"

Kuro said to her after drawing 4 circle in square. This will serve as the goal. If the ball goes between these 2 circle, it is a goal.

'Soccer, huh…(21)'

'What's wrong, 21? Wait a minute, why do Kuro know about what materials soccer ball contain? I don't remember having a knowledge of that. Was that knowledge from you, 21?(17)'

'Yeah… I played a little about soccer.(21)'

'No wonder! I feel some familiarity when I touched the ball!(4)'

'Yeah.(21)'

Back to the reality, the ball was just in front of Ayame's feet. As she dragged back her leg, she forcefully smashed the ball in front of, launching it at the speed which human can barely see. This is about the limit of her physical power as an children.

"What the- damn it, don't you know to hold back?"

Despite complaining, when the ball passed his face, did he finally react to it, he managed to brush off the ball from its trajectory toward the goal.

He prevented the ball from going toward the goal but the familiarity of something unfamiliar to the current him overwhelmed him that some unknown shards of memory came toward him.

"Kuro! We're taking break from work tomorrow to go to your soccer tournament. We're not going to miss your final match!"

"Oh, that's rare. Did you eat something weird??"

"What? No. To tell you the truth, if it weren't for the important workday overlapping with your match, both you dad and me would have gone to see your soccer match. Coincidentally, we were allowed to take absent from work tomorrow. So, using this chance, we will absolutely go to see your match tomorrow."

"Really? It's quite far from here."

"Don't worry we're going using your dad's car. We won't be late."

"Oh, alright."

I may be keeping a poker face here, but in truth I was happy inside. It's no choice! I was at my rebellious phase! Age problem! I am at the time where I can't be honest.

Truth be told, I don't hold a important position in soccer. I just take ball, and move it to somewhere. So to be honest, soccer is getting boring to me and I thought I will quit soccer after that match.

The match ended with our side win but I never found mom and dad in the end. I felt dumb for putting an extra effort for no reason.

When Kuro's vision went back to reality, Ayame was about to kick the ball. Although he defelcted the ball's trajectory from before, he was the one who bounced the ball out of bounds. Ayame goes offensive again.

Kuro's eyes goes toward Ayame's leg. She learned from the lesson before. She feinted her legs from shooting but she actually dribbled.

"That's a wrong move"

The speed was certainly fast and she could almost rival the adult player Kuro(21) seen in his past life but it didn't matter whether he was fighting against the best player or monstrous player.

Kuro lightning fastly put his leg in front of Ayame as if to trip her down. Then his arm across her back. Kuro's leg was able to take off the Oni's grip from ball as well, the light push from his arm, was able to ruin her sense of balance.

Without much effort, Kuro was able to take down the mighty Oni who was upper against him both speed and physically with just technique.

With a light tap, the ball went inside goal.

"What was that, Kuro!?!? It was like Aikidou!"

"Ha? Aikido exists in this world?"

Anyway, Ayame's glimmering eyes reminded him of his childhood

Hah~ soccer was so much fun back then.

"Oh! That's how you do it!"

What!? Learning that thing took me 5 minute, you know!?
