"Kazemaru! You're too fast!", Kurimatsu cried as he tried to catch up with Kazemaru and take the ball from him, but the latter was indeed too fast for him.
It was another normal day with the team training together, and they were nearing the end of their training.
"Domon, block him!", Endou cried.
"You've got it!", Domon cried before he tackled Kazemaru taking the ball from him.
"Domon-kun is great, isn't he?", Haruna said.
Ran and Sonoko nodded while Aki smiled, recalling the days she played soccer with Domon, Nishigaki, and Ichinose.
Everyone was smiling at Domon, but one; Shinichi.
Endou had invited the team after practice to eat Ramen in one of the nearby shops and Shinichi then heard Domon talking to someone on the phone outside the shop, so he recorded him, just in case.
The next day was another normal day of training, but Domon had a received a call that had gotten him restless. He was ordered by Kageyama to do anything to stop Raimon from arriving to the next match, and he truly meant anything.
He walked away from the team until he noticed Kidou hiding behind a building waiting for him.
He then rushed towards him and said, "The commander is going too far and I won't do this! Does he really want to win that badly?!".
"Shut up, and do as your told.", Kidou replied coldly.
Domon frowned, "Or what?! He's going to hurt Aki?! Or Mai?! Isn't it enough that Fuyukai is going to place a trap on the bus just so the team doesn't make it?!".
Kidou frowned at his words, not knowing how to answer before he finally said, "Go… We'll meet later.".
Domon walked away silently, and Kidou was about to walk away, until he saw who caught him; Haruna.
"Are you here to spy on Raimon?", She asked seriously.
"We should not be meeting.", Kidou replied as he started to walk away. She tried to grab his arm, but he pulled it away.
"Why are you treating me like this?!", She nearly cried and Kidou grit his teeth.
"Goodbye Haruna…", was all what Kidou said before he left.
Neither of the three who were recently present however noticed that Shinichi, Endou, and Gouenji were spying on them from afar.
"See what I mean?", Shinichi mumbled.
"I can't believe Domon turned out to be a spy.", Endou mumbled in disbelief, "He looks like he doesn't want to do this anymore…".
"I wonder what's going on with Haruna and Kidou.", Gouenji said.
"Yeah, that too.", Endou said before he turned to Shinichi, "What do you think we should do?".
"Gather the team, and get Furukabu-san to inspect the van and…", Shinichi trailed off once he saw that Domon was approaching the three of them.
"Kudou, you're a detective, right?", Domon asked uncertainly.
"I'm.", Shinichi nodded.
"So, you've got connection to the police… I need to tell you something.", Domon said seriously.
Shinichi then recalled his last conversation with Michiya and Sharon.
"I've did as you asked and looked more into Domon's past. The guy is interested in Ichinose Mai, Kazuya's younger sister. She's here in Japan and hasn't been in great mood since her brother's supposed death, since he totally disappeared. Domon has been looking after her, and Kageyama threatened him with her life, and Aki's.", Sharon explained.
"And Kidou?", Shinichi asked.
"Kidou and Haruna lost their parents at a very young age and lived in an orphanage before they were taken by separate families. Haruna by the Otonashi family, and Kidou was recommended by Kageyama to the Kidou financial group, since he saw his soccer talent when he was still 6 years old. Kidou then made a deal with his adoptive father, if he gets three consecutive Football Frontier tournaments in his middle school years, he'll get Haruna back. If he loses, he won't, and if he loses in a district match, he'll be kicked out of the family.", Michiya explained.
Shinichi looked at them both in disbelief before he cried, "Is that Kageyama guy crazy or what?! Why has he turned soccer into a war zone?! What is this all about for real?!".
Sharon raised her two fingers together as she said in English, "Money. Everything is about money.".
"Does Tatsuya know about this?", Shinichi asked curiously.
"About Kidou yes, and we've been trying to figure out something to get him out of this. We don't know if his adoptive father truly cares about him or not, so we're still planning something.", Michiya said, "Sharon still hasn't informed him about Domon.".
"So now what?", Shinichi asked.
"Sharon will handle Kidou's family while I'll talk to someone who might help Raimon, and you help Domon.", Michiya said.
Fuyukai eyed the Inazuma Van while smirking before nearly jumping once he heard Natsumi's strict voice, "Eyeing your work, huh?".
"Natsumi-san… That's no way to speak to your teacher.", Fuyukai turned and replied coldly, trying to hide his nervousness, and that's when he noticed that he was surrounded by all team members and managers.
"You still dare call yourself a teacher?", Sonoko asked in disbelief.
"What kind of teacher ruins the breaks of the team's van? Are you trying to kill us all?", Ran cried.
Fuyukai looked at them with wide eyes before he looked eyes with the only person who could've told them; Domon.
"I told them everything.", Domon said sternly, "I've had enough of you and Kageyama.".
"All of this for the sake of money…", Shinichi sighed in disappointment, "We seriously need less people like you in this world.".
"You brats will never understand and-".
"Don't you dare go and talk about how life is hard and how you had to do this! You're a teacher! You're supposed to take care of your students, not try to kill them!", Aki interrupted him angrily.
"Get out. I never want to see your face in my school. Ever again.", Natsumi said sternly while pointing in the direction of the gates.
Fuyukai said nothing as he slowly walked away, leaving the team by itself.
"Thank you for being honest, Domon-kun.", Aki smiled at Domon who looked away in guilt.
"I still was a spy at Raimon.", He mumbled weakly.
"We aren't mad, you exposed the big bad in the team after all, our supposed coach.", Endou said.
"I would've been actually, had I not seen what Fuyukai did. What you did is tame compared to him.", Someoka shrugged.
"That still leaves the issue of having a coach.", Max pointed out.
Shinichi smiled then, "Don't worry, my uncle will handle this.".
Everyone looked at him quizzically.
"And why… would he?", Kazemaru asked confused.
"Michiya-Ojisan wants to train Teikoku again, so Kageyama has to be taken down, and one of the ways to take him down is us winning, so he'll do his best to help us.", Shinichi explained with a smile.
"Have I ever told you how awesome your family is?", Endou joked.
"Maybe all the time.", Shinichi replied before the team shared a good laugh.
Kidou walked into the manor of his adopted home, thinking about his next move, since Kageyama stooped so low, to the point that he didn't mind Fuyukai killing the Raimon team and-
"Kidou-kun, there you are!". Kidou raised his head and his eyes widened once he saw who was sitting in the living room with his adopted father; Sharon.
"Yuuto, sit.", Kidou Hiroshi said as he motioned towards a nearby seat. Kidou still remained staring at Sharon even as he went and took a seat.
"So, Hiroshi-san, I'm aware about the deal you've done with Kageyama involving Yuuto-kun's sister.", Sharon started with a smile, ignoring how Kidou perked up.
"Yes?", Hiroshi said, unsure of what to say.
"Tell me, is Yuuto-kun just means to an end to you? Because no parent would do this to their son. Forcing them to win by any means so they can get their only living family member back.", Sharon's nice tone changed into a cold one, sending shivers down the spine of both Yuuto and Hiroshi.
"T-that's not true… My late wife and I adopted him because we couldn't have kids… It was her desire… even if I had agreed for Kageyama's sake, I still wanted a kid…", Hiroshi replied earnestly, surprising Kidou, who had always thought he was a means to an end to him.
"Then, I suggest you do your son a favor and forget about this deal with Kageyama. As far as I know, you're supposed to be overseas to deal with your business, not constantly staying here to monitor Kidou and see if he will achieve your stupid target.", Sharon literally scolded the man.
Hiroshi hung his head in disappointment and embarrassment as he said, "I suppose you're right… But Kageyama-".
"I'll deal with him.", Sharon interrupted.
Hiroshi looked at her before he looked at Kidou and said, "Kidou… I'm sorry about everything… I… the loss of my wife made me bitter towards life… to the point that I forgot that I care about you too… You can talk to your sister if you want and do as you please… I'll have to go back to my work and travel overseas, so you're free…".
Kidou remained silent before a smile spread on his face, a smile of a son to his father who finally realized that he does truly care about him.
"Take care of yourself, father.", Kidou replied.
Sharon then got up as she said, "Yuuto-kun, your welcome to stay at my house while your father's abroad if you'd like. My house is big with several guest rooms, so you don't have to worry yourself.".
Kidou looked at Sharon gratefully before he asked, "Did Tatsuya have a hand in this?".
"Who else do you think kept on nagging to help you by any means?", Sharon slightly smirked.
"Tell him he'll be seeing me at his home a lot then.", Kidou smirked.
"I'd like a bowl of ramen please.", Michiya ordered once he entered the small shop before he sat across the table from the cook.
"Coming right… up…", The cook trailed off once he saw Michiya and asked, "Well, it's been awhile, Kudou.".
"I could say the same to you, Hibiki-kantoku.", Michiya smiled at the former Legendary goalkeeper of Inazuma Eleven; Hibiki Seigou.
"So, what can I help you with? Surely you didn't just come for Ramen.", Hibiki deduced.
"We're making a move against Kageyama.", Michiya said, "Sharon has technically freed Kidou, Shinichi has helped Domon and exposed Fuyukai, and there is only one thing left.".
"Which is?", Hibiki asked curiously.
"Raimon needs a coach, and I'd like to ask you to be their coach.", Michiya said as Hibiki placed the bowl across him.
"It's been awhile since I had done this Michiya… Kageyama had become stronger than ever and no one could stop him.", Hibiki sighed in defeat.
"Not this time, I think we've got a chance. Kisaki-san, my lawyer, is working on the last evidence in order to put him behind bars once and for all!", Michiya insisted, "We have to fix what he has done, and that includes helping Raimon.".
Hibiki remained silent before Michiya sighed, "Won't you do it for Endou Daisuke's grandson, at least? That kid is a spitting image of him in everything.".
Hibiki let out a sigh before he smiled at Michiya, "When do I get to meet the team then?".
"Come on everyone! If we keep on practicing, we can master this Hissatsu tactic!", Shinichi cried as he passed the ball to Shourin, who passed it to Shishido, then Domon, then Gouenji, then Someoka, and finally back to Shinichi.
"Go on everyone!", Endou cheered from the goal post, before he noticed two people standing at the side of the field, Michiya, and the ramen cook.
Everyone else on the team and managers also noticed them, so they dropped what they were doing and walked towards them, wondering what's going on, while Shinichi was smiling.
"Everyone, meet your new coach; the former legendary goalkeeper of Inazuma Eleven; Hibiki Seigou.", Michiya introduced Hibiki.
"WAIT! YOU'RE TELLING ME THE CHEF IS THE HIBIKI SEIGOU?!", Endou cried in disbelief and awe.
"Yeah, he does have Daisuke's antics indeed.", Hibiki slightly smirked before he crossed his arms, "I hope you all are ready for what I have in store for you.".
"We are ready!", the Raimon team chorused, feeling excited that they finally got a proper coach who was going to train them.
