Episode 5: “Rebuild”

🧼 Scene 1: Inside the Locker Room – After the 7–1 Loss

The mood is heavy. Sweat drips. No music. Just the sound of breathing and shame.

Brian (coach):

"Guys… it’s okay. It’s our first match. We'll grow from this."

Haruki (exhausted, honest):

"I wanted to be a striker... but today, I played CB and I couldn’t defend a damn thing."

Maya (frustrated):

"We need a real center-back. This isn’t working."

Luca (angry):

"Damn it! F*ck! We only have 24 million yen. We can’t afford a world-class CB!"

Rin (softly, for the first time):

"We can…"

Everyone goes silent. Rin spoke.

Luca (panicked):

"NO. Don’t say creepy stuff like that again."

Haruki (collapsing):

"Damn, YES! Bro, I’m not a defender. I'm just not."

Kashikoi (confused):

"My calculations… were completely wrong."

Francis (grinning sarcastically):

"Omoooo. We lose finish. Shame don kill person."

Kaido (quiet):

"I wasn’t fast enough… I held back."

Sora (hot-headed):

"No, it’s cause DAVID couldn’t keep the damn ball out!"

David (angrily):

"OI! You think you could do better in goal? Try midfield next time, genius!"

Brian (shouting):

"ENOUGH!"

Everyone freezes.

Maya (softly):

"Sorry."

Brian (calmer now):

"Clean up. I need to meet with Reina."

🏢 Scene 2: Brian Meets Reina – Club Office

Reina is drinking water, tired, bags under her eyes. Brian walks in.

Brian (sits heavily):

"It’s hard. These boys have fire… but they’re raw. I’m losing control."

Reina (calm but cold):

"You’ll get the hang of it."

Brian (leans forward):

"Ma… Haruki is a striker. But we’re forcing him to play CB. We only have 24 million yen. You’re worth over 700 million yen and you can’t give us just 40 million to save this team?"

Reina (snaps):

"Don’t. Just… shut up, okay? You think it’s easy being a club owner?"

She tears up.

Reina (breaking):

"I buried my mother, my brother. I built this club with the last piece of my heart. And now I’m failing again—"

Brian stands up slowly, then hugs Reina gently.

Brian (whispers):

"I'm sorry… Ma."

Reina suddenly leans up and kisses Brian.

Brian steps back in shock.

Brian (quietly):

"No… Ma. I can’t."

He leaves the office in silence.

☕ Scene 3: Backroom Discussion – Brian, Maya, Luca

They sit under the stadium lights.

Brian:

"We need a CB. Now. Not in three weeks. Now."

Luca (thinking):

"What about Ichiro?"

Maya (laughing):

"You mean the guy who’s dating a 50-year-old sugar mama? Please."

Brian:

"Is he good?"

Luca:

"When he's not in love — he’s a monster in defense."

💻 Scene 4: Transfer Negotiations – Ichiro’s Team

Brian searches Ichiro on his tablet. Clips play: Ichiro blocking shots, commanding defenses, taunting strikers.

Brian places an offer:

5.7 million yen

Ichiro’s club Silver Crown FC counters:

54 million yen

Brian:

"Insane…"

Ichiro himself replies via call:

“10 million yen. Plus a sponsorship deal with Beauty Princess. That’s final.”

Brian calls Reina.

Reina: "Fine. 10 million and a logo deal. Do it."

🧾 Scene 5: The Signing

Brian meets Ichiro in an old café. Ichiro wears sunglasses, hoodie, and a necklace with his lover’s initials.

Ichiro:

"So you want me to babysit kids?"

Brian:

"I want you to teach them pain."

Ichiro sips his coffee. Then smiles.

"Deal."

Phoenix 11 FC officially signs CB Ichiro for 10 million yen.
