🍟 BLUE LOCK: THE 24TH MAN

Nagi Seishiro had one goal after Blue Lock.

Not revenge. Not redemption. Not proving everyone wrong.

Getting a part-time job.

After finishing 24th and missing the Top 23 cutoff, Nagi’s football career has effectively been put on pause. So naturally, the world’s laziest genius decides to work at McDonald’s.

Because it’s close. Because the shifts aren’t too complicated. And because apparently, they give him free food.

Simple.

Unfortunately, the rest of Blue Lock isn’t prepared for this. After an exhausting training session, the remaining players stop by McDonald’s expecting fries, burgers, and approximately ten minutes of peace.

Instead, they find Nagi Seishiro behind the counter.

Uniform. Cap. Name tag. Gloves. The whole thing.

And Nagi?

He doesn’t seem embarrassed. He doesn’t seem devastated. He doesn’t even seem particularly surprised to see them. He simply looks up from the register.

“Oh. You guys.”

Silence.

Reo nearly short-circuits. Isagi doesn’t know whether to analyze the situation or pretend this isn’t happening. Barou looks personally offended that the former genius is asking whether he wants a meal upgrade. Bachira thinks this is the funniest thing that’s happened all week. Rin would rather starve. Shidou immediately starts asking whether Nagi gets employee discounts.

And Nagi?

Nagi just sighs.

“So... what do you want?”

Somehow, that’s worse than anything he could’ve said. Because while everyone else is having an existential crisis over the fallen genius of Blue Lock—

Nagi is just trying to finish his shift.

And unfortunately for him, his former teammates have apparently decided to make McDonald’s their new team meeting room.
