-A little flashback-
'Kai, come here.' Akira called his defensive specialist.
'Eh? Me?' Kaede pointed his fingers at himself confusedly. 'What's wrong, Sensei?' He approached the coach with a concerned gaze. It was during the timeout after he checked Yuki's condition, when Akira suddenly wanted to talk to him. Even though the others were curious, since Sekine took over the pep talk, they couldn't know what Akira and Kaede talked about.
'Listen, I have one more task that only you can do it. I wonder if you are willing to listen?' Akira not beating around the bush and asked immediately.
Kaede was taken aback at the sudden request. But seeing there was no hint of a joke or prank in the coach's eyes, he knew it was something serious.
'What kind of task?' He finally asked.
