The Final Begins: Japan vs. Spain
Night had fallen. Inside the hotel's conference room,
"Since you've already decided the lineup yourselves, we'll go with this list. I won't say anything more. I'm sure you understand that our opponents are very strong, so don't let your guard down!"
Mifune Nyudo said this as he looked at the players who had fought their way through the group stages.

"I just received word that Spain Team has added two players who have never appeared before. Both are middle schoolers."
Seeing that everyone remained focused and serious, Kurobe went straight to the news he had received.
"They've added new players again?"
At this, everyone among the players seated below, except for Muneyoshi, was taken aback.

Tokugawa's eyes were unsettled. When he noticed Muneyoshi looking at him, he quickly lowered his head.
Seeing this, Muneyoshi raised an eyebrow.
Could it really be as Tokugawa had said?
Muneyoshi knew, of course, that Spain would add a middle schooler
