Was that...

...a kappa?!

Kappa = Water imp

Miracle! A Kappa Encounter?!

A kappa?

Yeah, I saw it on the way to the bathroom last night!

I heard a thump, and when I looked over,

a kappa was staring right back at me!

It scared the living daylights out of me!

Captain, are you sure that was a kappa?

It was!

There really was a kappa there!

It had these kind of lips...

And had something like this on its head...

Kazemaru, you believe me, right?

S-Sure.

Kidou, Gouenji, Tachimukai!

I'm not lying!

Believe me!

Endou-kun.

There couldn't possibly be kappas out there.

Kappas are imaginary animals, so they don't exist for real.

I guess, but...

I'm sure you just mistook it for something else.

Hiroto...

Come on, guys! It's time for practice!

Practice, practice!

To think he'd come across a kappa...

Captain must've been half-asleep still.

So that wasn't a kappa...?

All right, let's give it our all today!

Yeah!

Tsunami-san!

Toramaru!

Good job, Tachimukai!

They're all in good spirits.

Next is the last of the preliminary league with the match against Italy.

They have to win it in order to head on to the finals tournament, after all!

Here it comes!

Over there, Kogure!

Got it!

Someoka!

Got it!

Leave it to me!

I'll stop him!

Think you can block me?!

He got past me!

Hiroto!

You're 100 years too early to steal the ball from me.

Why can't I steal it?!

Go, Hiroto!

You're not getting past me!

Ryuusei Blade!

Meteor Blade

V2!

Hammer of Wrath!

He got one in!

Nice shoot, Hiroto.

Your shoots really are awesome, Hiroto.

Ryuusei Blade...

I did score this time...

But our upcoming opponent is Italy's national team, Orpheus.

My dribbling won't be able to break past their defense as it is!

Okay! That's all for practice this morning!

Okay!

The next practice is in the afternoon.

Rest up well until then!

It's over.

Hey, hey.

Down already?

You could use some more willpower there.

Now you've said it...

Hiroto!

We're heading back!

Sure, go ahead!

I'll come back after I go for a short run over there.

Okay, then see you later!

Hiroto-san, be sure to come back by noon!

We're having our special okaka onigiri today!

Okaka onigiri!

Those are so good!

Okay, I got it!

Someoka-san!

Can you come practice with me?

Practice?

Oh, looks like you're finally starting to get into it.

All right!

I'll help ya.

Hah hah! You fell for it!

You fell for it!

Kogure!

Why, you...!

Kogure hasn't changed a bit.

No, I can't slow down here...

It's not good enough yet, eh...

Kogure!

He's still coming after me.

You wait right there!

What a stubborn guy...

Wait, Kogure!

It's no good...

I have to be more flexible!

Someone help me!

Kogure-kun?

Kogure-kun!

Hiroto-san?

What are you doing?

Well, that's...

Anyway, just help me out here!

So that's what happened.

Well, of course Someoka-kun would get mad at you.

But...

He was making fun of me...

He wasn't making fun of you.

Let's head back.

I'll go apologize with you.

Okay then...

A kappa!

Huh?

That's a human.

Let's go.

He's following us.

Do you want something from us?

Give me.

Oh, that's it?

So he's a fan who wants our autograph.

Give me.

Why not me?!

Might as well...

What's your name?

Kamezaki Kappa.

Kappa, for real!

Kamezaki-kun, then?

"To Kamezaki-kun"...

Here.

A cucumber?

We've been walking for a long time, but we still haven't found our way back.

Yeah.

Should we really be going this way?

Didn't we just pass this spot earlier?

It's night already.

It's all we could do.

Endou-kun and the others will probably worry about us,

but let's camp out here tonight.

If we keep going, we might get lost.

We are lost!

Inazuma Eleven!

Let's play soccer!

I'm hungry.

All I got to eat was that cucumber...

What're you doing?

I'm trying to start a fire.

A fire?

It worked!

Wow, you can do that?

Yeah.

I learned how to do it back when I went camping with my friends from Sun Garden.

You went camping?

Yeah.

Camping, huh.

That sounds fun.

I've always wanted to try camping once.

You've never gone camping?

Nope...

It's just... I've never had the chance to.

Then let's go camping sometime.

Really?

Yeah.

We'll invite Endou-kun and the others too.

This island looks like it'd have a lot of good places for camping.

Then I'll be in charge of cooking!

Using the camping utensils and all.

Sure.

But there's a little more to it than that.

You have to gather firewood first.
