《Endless Connections, Inazuma Eleven Ares no Tenbin & Orion no Kokuin》Chapter 11: Forgiveness and Freedom
Advertisement
Today is the final match of Inakuni Raimon against Outei Tsukinomiya, everyone is looking forward to the match even Teikoku, Zeus, Kidokawa, Hakuren, Eisei, Seishou, Endou, Kidou, and Gouenji. Back to the General Municipal Hospital, (name) was watching the match until someone turns off the TV it was Miyano Akane "Miyano?" "(name), please come with me."
(name) was confused "W-Why?" "We're going to the stadium, I want you to forgive Ryouhei and Nosaka, and I want us to watch their match" she was shock about her words "But, we won't-" "We will make it in time! Please!" She bows. (name) looks at her wide a sad face but she inhale then exhale "Okay, Akane-chan. Go get the wheelchair, we will able to get there with a lot of haste."
Akane nods and got the wheelchair, she helps (name) to sit there and rushed out of the hospital. The doctors and nurses know what Akane is planning for (name) they let her do it for their sake of their friends, "Where should we go, (name)?" "Turn right, straight for 3 seconds, turn right again, then turn left. That's the first short cut to the stadium."
Akane follows her instructions, she stops her tracks along the wheelchair "Another instruction shortcut again, (name)" "Go straight for 8 seconds, turn left, then turn right" she follows her instructions again as they finally arrived in front of the stadium in time.
"We made it..." Akane panted due to her lack of haste running, (name) looks at her wrist watch it was the second match of Inakuni Raimon against Outei Tsukinomiya. They got inside the stadium "Akane-chan, go show yourself to Haizaki. I know he will be happy to see you recovered from your long therapy, I'll wait here and watch their match" she said with a smile to Akane as she smiles back to (name).
Back to the field (At the part when Inamori talks to Nosaka and Haizaki)
"Nosaka, Haizaki... Is that kind of soccer fun?" Inamori asks them as they both look at him "What?" Haizaki questioned him "What are you two doing? Your play was close to a foul play. You're wrong. That's not soccer" "What do you know? What do you know about us?" Nosaka questioned next like Haizaki did to Inamori.
"I don't know! I don't know what drives you to play soccer. I don't even want to know. Nosaka, if you play your best, we'll play our best. I want to play properly against an incredible player like you. Haizaki, why are you trying to fight alone? We are a team. Your strong desire to win, share it with the whole team."
Inamori both grab Haizaki and Nosaka's collar shirt tightly "We don't play soccer to defeat others! We play to connect our hearts. When we meet a powerful opponent, we learn how small or big we are. As we continue doing that, we feel the fire in our hearts! We get fired up, and we feel the connection to our team. That's soccer. That's the soccer we love. Both of you, please play soccer. No, let's play soccer!"
They were surprised in Inamori's words like they were connected to him, Inamori loosen his grip on them as Nosaka and Haizaki start to leave him but Inamori spoke up once again "Also, (lastname)-san is here in the stadium watching our match. She texts me last night, she told me that she was sorry what she have done to the both of you was making her regret everything, Nosaka, Haizaki."

Now it makes Nosaka and Haizaki shocked hearing that (name) feel sorry and regret what she have done to them, but they both don't want her to feel that way, they start to walk away again 'You don't have to feel that way, (lastname)/(name)-chan... Because I already forgive you... Even you're here, don't ever think it's your fault...' They both thought the same thing.
Haizaki saw Akane "Akane? Why are you here?"
"Ryouhei!"
Haizaki's eyes widen that Akane was able to speak with him again, he takes 3 step forward to her "You know who I am?" "I'm sorry, Ryouhei. You'll know everything once the game is over, (name) is here but she told me not to bring her down here to see you. She'll will apologize to you after the match."
"Akane..."
She began to cry "I wanted to see it. I wanted to see you play soccer no matter what your motive was. I always knew that it was soccer that comforted you. (name) knows that I have recovered, the day when you let her introduce me for the first time. She didn't want to tell you because she thought that it will hurt your feelings."
Haizaki was speechless but he looks down with a smile on his face "I'm glad that you two are okay, Akane, (lastname). And (lastname)... No, (name)... You are really mysterious huh? But I finally understand you now, that's the reason why I have fallen in love with you..."
"I'm disappointed in you. Unfortunately, you lost. That means you won't be able to leave project Ares." Midouin said with a evil smirk.
Nosaka takes a steps forward "However, project Ares will be questioned now and won't be supported as before."
Midouin let out a evil laugh like he was going crazy at Nosaka, he stands up from his chair "Are you aware of manipulation of information? With my company's authority, anything could be done" he said while walking at the right side looking at the large window.
"I figured you would say that."
"What?"
"That's why I went ahead with my plan. Do you know a girl named Miyano Akane, who's mind broke down because of project Ares' error?" Nosaka asks him.
"Miyano Akane? What about it?"
"You've covered up the victims of Ares, by intimidating them. However, Miyano Akane recovered her consciousness after a long therapy. But I requested her to pretend she still haven't recovered, even (name)-chan knows it too."
"What?" Midouin said with a shock face.
(A/N: Guys, I feel like I'm laughing because this main villain all can say is 'What' jeez, is that the only thing he could say? 😂)
"With her cooperation, I collected proof from the hospital. Evidence to show how dangerous the Ares system is."
"You think you can destroy Ares with that? Illegally obtain proof has no power."
"You are right. Originally, the reason I collected data was not to destroy Ares, but to determine the truth. Was Ares able to bring light to the world or not? Unfortunately, Ares was a double edged sword. Ares raises a person's mind and physical ability efficiently, but it ruins the body in exchange. That side effect is a definite defect in the system."
"Who would believe such a thing? I told you that public opinion could be controlled."
"I have proof. I have definitive proof."
Midouin laughs evilly again "Where do you have such a thing?"
"It's... Here." Nosaka points at his head which means it was his brain tumor "My brain tumor was caused by the chemicals used in project Ares. I didn't have the tumor removed on purposed, in order to uncover its connection to Ares. My brain tumor is living proof that will destroy Ares."

"You risked your life to drive me into a corner?" Midouin questioned him with a hint of anger on his voice while speaking to Nosaka.
"I must admit I was full of anxiety, since I was given three more months to operate on it."
"Why you!"
Before Midouin could do anything to Nosaka, Haizaki opens the door and kicks the soccer ball at Midouin who is sent flying in the air and got cornered at the wall which is painful "You...!" Then a lot of police officers who were wearing the Judgment's symbol on the armband came inside "Midouin Munetada, you are under arrest for making the students become a victims of the project Ares."
"W-What's going on?!" The police officer handcuff him, Haizaki pulls (name)'s wheelchair which makes Midouin shock seeing her as (name), Nosaka, and Haizaki have a smirk on their face "Before I went back here, me and Haizaki-kun encountered (name)-chan thanks to Akane-chan. I asked her for help and hacked into your files about the project Ares."
Flashback (After the match)
"Nosaka, Ryouhei, wait here for a sec" Akane pulls (name)'s wheelchair "(name)/(name)-chan..." She bows her head "I'm so sorry, Haizaki, Nosaka-kun... I'm sorry that I hurt you... I regret to ignore and keep my mouth shut from you two. Please forgive me" (name) have tears on her eyes not letting them see it.
"It's okay, (name). We are not mad at you and it's not your fault" Haizaki said with a comforting smile.
Nosaka nods also a comforting smile like Haizaki "Yeah, and you just misunderstood me months ago, because I wanted to protect you from the project Ares."
Akane and (name) was shock that she was part of the project Ares "What do you mean by that, Nosaka-kun?" With that Haizaki spoke up "Nosaka knew from the beginning. That Midouin guy is planning to make you one his victim too, if you didn't get broken bone at the foot he might take you at Outei Tsukinomiya by force. Fortunately, you did have a broken bone at the foot that means he cancelled that taking you to Nosaka's school."
Nosaka continues what Haizaki is talking about but he asks her a question first "Do you remember the day I called you my insignicant friend?" (name) nods
He continues "I eavesdrop at his office that he made you think and feel that you are not needed at Kiyosumi Gakuen, with that he will make his next step to claim you at the end of our match, which is the third match. But instead letting that happen, I have to do the Grid Omega which I regret the most doing that to you and after that I eavesdrop his office again that claiming you has come to an end since you have a broken bone on your foot, and I'm glad that you won't end up like me or Akane-chan but I decided to take good care of you. Also, (name)-chan. That 'insignificant' word I called you was a lie."
(name) smiles that Nosaka was helping her not to be a victim on the project Ares and finally knows that word is just a lie "Thank you, Nosaka-kun. That really means a lot to me."
"(name), Nosaka want to ask you a favor more like a help to hack some files of Ares no Tenbin" Haizaki said he wants to end that will make more students become a victim as (name) nods to him and looks at Nosaka "It's about the project Ares, right?" Nosaka nods to her "Yeah, I want to end this project once and for all."
"Leave it to me, I'll call the Judgment and along the police to shut down the building of Gekko Electronics for the sake of the future."
Flashback End
"You little brat!" Midouin shouted at (name) "Haven't you forgotten the Judgment's motto, Midouin? 'In order to bring peace. Without Judgment the society is nothing but a lot of crimes. That's why Judgment exist, we exist to protect this society against dangers' we are doing the right thing, and that's why you are arrested for committing a huge and unforgivable crime. Even my friends are in danger I will save them, because I am the Savior Girl."
With that Midouin was taken by the police. After that Inamori, Haizaki, Nosaka, Yoshihiro, Akane, Anna, and (name) went to the Amusement Park to have some fun. Haizaki won a prize it was a teddy bear and gives it to Akane, Nosaka won a silver necklace and gives it Anna, Inamori just watch them have fun. "I'm really glad it's finally over" Yoshihiro nods to her "Yeah, everything goes back the way it supposed to be."
"Yoshihiro, how about we do our stuff like we did since our childhood?" She suggested him "Oh you want a match huh?" "Hey, at least were tied in our score and I'm not gonna lose!" "Bring it on, (name)!"
Few hours later they take a break due to the games they play, right now they are eating Ohagi "Whew, that was tiring for all of us" Inamori said taking another Ohagi in the box "It brings back good memories in my head, thanks for taking me and Yoshihiro here" (name) thanked them "It's nothing, (name). You have done everything for us and this is how we repay you back" Anna said with a smile.
"I really like it, but..." Haizaki notice it "But what?" (name) frowns "I really appreciate this but for some reason I couldn't smile like I always do..." Yoshihiro have an idea as he grabs Inamori's arm "Inamori, come with me. Wait for us guys!" The five of them are confused of what Yoshihiro is planning.
After 20 minutes they haven't come back "They're late..." "(lastname)-san!" They heard Inamori's voice, he approach quickly but he tripped in front of (name) "I-Inamori! Are you okay?" Inamori stands up as he scratches behind his head "Yeah, I'm fine. Lend out your hand to me." (name) follows what Inamori says, he placed something on her palm hand it was a Katsumi the Cat keychain, her favorite cat.
"Katsumi the Cat?"
Yoshihiro appears "I gave Inamori some of my money from the shooting game, and I pointed your favorite cat so Inamori could win it" (name) takes Yoshihiro's wallet behind his pants' pocket and looks inside of it "Like I thought, your wallet is empty and if I remember clearly you are on a date with Nae-chan tomorrow at Hokkaido" Yoshihiro got embarrassed and takes his wallet from (name) "Don't take my wallet and don't look at it, jeez..." It makes them laugh at Yoshihiro.
(name) touched the keychain that Inamori had won "I can imagine that you are playing the shooting game, Inamori" "It's okay if you don't-" (name) cut off Inamori's words "No, I'll keep it, Inamori. After all, you picked the right present to make me smile like the others did to me too."
The lantern lights turn on as they saw her beautiful smile which makes them smile too. They explore more of the Amusement Park and play more games, some of the kids are even amazed at (name) and Yoshihiro's competition on scooping the fish as they give it to them.
'Even you feel the negative thoughts you always come back to the person we know, I may have fallen for you at love at first sight knowing you really are the one. We may have hurt ourselves but you were the light that drags us out of our darkness, and I'm glad that I have met you, (name)/(name)-chan/(lastname)-san... I love you forever in my heart.'
