With a white cardboard, two sheets of stickers along with two printed out pictures already prepared, you quickly check your mic one last time before starting your interview session.
“Knock, knock, Blue Lock” you say, tapping the mic and glancing to today’s cameraman—Jin Kiyora.
He volunteered to help you film this little challenge, saying he would much rather be behind the camera instead of participating.
Nodding that you’re ready, he gave you a thumbs up, slowly counting down as the recording started.
“Hello everyone! Today, with the help of the team, we’re about to find out which Itoshi brother is the more handsome” you gestured toward the board divided with a line of black tape. “Let’s go”
Walking to the field, your first victim of the day was none other than—Isagi Yoichi.
“Hey L/N, Kiyora!” the boy smiled, glancing down to the papers you were holding. “What’s up?”
“Question of the day! Who do you think is better looking? Rin,” you raised up a portrait of the striker—official photo, no smile, face card lethal. “or Sae?” another picture came up this time—shot in an advertisement, skin flawless, stare cold.
“Well…” confused, he glanced between the two photos. “I’d say they look quite similar buuut…I’ll go with Rin.”
“Amazing! We have our first vote! Blue sticker for Rin, red for Sae” you said, handing him the sheets.
Sticking a blue dot on the board, you thanked him before waving goodbye.
The next contestant was—Bachira Meguru.
Without needing to call for him, the boy immediately noticed you and happily hopped over, head tilting at the equipment in your hands.
“What are you doing, Manager-chan~?”
“Survey for the fans. Who’s more handsome according to you, Bachira? Itoshi Rin, or Itoshi Sae?” the pictures came up again.
Humming for a good minute, he carefully examined both, flipping the papers upside down for a “better view” before declaring. “Our Rin-chan is the cuter one for sure.”
Another blue dot on the board.
Noticing the ruckus, minutes later three people walked over to you as well.
The trio themselves—Yukimiya Kenyu, Otoya Eita and Karasu Tabito.
Greeting you, they asked what’s the commotion as Bachira excitedly explained the game to them.
“Exactly! So, would you mind giving us a vote?” you asked, gesturing to the current score.
“I see” Yukimiya said, inspecting the pictures. “I, myself, would like to vote for Sae. He could be a pretty good model with a face like that.”
Handing him the red sticker sheet, Karasu took over.
Eyes squinting, a few moments later he gave you back the older Itoshi’s picture. “Nah. Rin’s definitely the better lookin’ one.”
As the first red dot took its place, another blue dot appeared.
Turning to Otoya, you curiously waited for his response. Raising a brow, he then proceeded to point a finger to himself.
“I’m pretty handsome myself. What do you think, mana-“
He then shut up, and quickly stuck the second red dot on the board. “Pinkheads are hot. Kinda like Chigiri’s sister.”
“WHAT?” a voice screamed a few meters away, inching closer by the second. “What did you say, playboy?”
Glancing to the pinkhead, Otoya immediately exited the scene, muttering a small “nothing” before vanishing into the background like a ninja.
“Perfect timing, Chigiri! Please tell us, which brother you think is more handsome” you said, already shoving the papers into his hands.
It took him 5 seconds to reply. “Obviously, Sae. No offense to Rin, but his brother’s hair looks so much healthier.” and with that, he added another red dot, balancing out the current score.
3-3. This was gonna be a tough match.
Making your way to the monitoring rooms, you found another group of people this time.
Sitting in a circle—Nanase, Hiori, Kurona and Niko all greeted you before standing up.
“How are you today, L/N-san?” Nanase asked, offering his help to Kiyora who was holding both the camera and the cardboard.
“I’m doing fine, thank you Nanase. Quick question for the game we’re currently filming. Can you guys tell us who you think looks better?”
Raising both hands with pictures of the Itoshi siblings, the boys started to debate.
“They literally look the same.” Niko began, hands folded, eyes glancing between the pics like you just showed him twins. “Can we vote for both?”
“No, not really. But I appreciate your honesty,” you smiled, forcing him to pick a side. “Team Blue or Red. No purple, sorry.”
He huffed, picking up a blue sticker. Bingo.
“100% Rin.” Nanase agreed, already placing his vote on the board. Hiori followed soon after, saying something about the striker’s cute boba eyes.
Staying silent for a minute, he picked up the sheets, debating whether to go with his choice or not.
Then he boasted Team Red with a dot.
“What?” “Why?” the boys asked in sync, turning their head to the shark boy.
“I like his bangs. They look fire, fire.”
With that, you excused yourself, letting them decide whether the midfielder’s hairstyle was a good choice or not.
Taking a small break in the hallways, you turned to Kiyora with a grin. “Come ooon, you must have a preference by now. It’s okay, you can tell me who’s the most attractive”
Shaking the little cardboard, you raised your brows to convince him before Kiyora silently took the sheets from your hands, picking up both red and blue dots and simply…
…stuck them onto your forehead.
You were about to complain, when he picked up the camera again before nodding towards the new player coming your way.
Waving, you called the boy over, already noticing his smirk.
“Yoooo…whatcha’ doin’?” he asked, taking the picture of Sae and hugging it close to his chest.
“Determining who’s the hotter Itoshi. Wanna participate?”
“Duh. And it’s obviously Sae. Junior Under Lashes has no chance so give me the damn stickers.” with that, he snatched them out of your hands, and aggressively stuck one onto the board. “Can I do more?”
“No, but thank you for voting. Care to give me back the photo?” trying to gently take it back, Shidou wrestled you for a second too long before barking, and bidding a tearful goodbye to Sae’s portrait.
“CAN I GET IT AFTER YOU FINISHED?”
Finding other players in the gym, you clapped your hands to gain attention, smoothly showing off the white board.
“Sorry for the disturbance, I only need a minute of your time. Would you kindly help us decide who’s winning in the looks department?
The boys in question—Barou, Aryu, Reo, Kunigami, Raichi and Gagamaru all stared at the printouts of the Itoshi siblings before taking the sticker sheets.
You told them the current score before ushering the boys to cast their votes, pointing to the options—either Team Blue or Red.
“Let me begin” Aryu took a step forward, carefully sticking a red dot onto the board Kiyora was holding. “His flawless skin is definitely the biggest glam I’ve ever witnessed. He has my support.”
“BULLSHIT” Raichi yelled, taking the other sticker sheet and proudly placing a blue dot on the other side instead. “Our striker is the better one.”
“Yeah, I agree.” Gagamaru said, following the blond’s lead.
You nudged the others, patiently waiting for their choice. Reo carefully examined the statistics, counting the dots and analyzing the pictures before finally coming to a conclusion.
“I would love to be Team Blue but I’m afraid his older brother’s face is currently more profitable.” he said, strategically putting a red dot next to Aryu’s.
You nodded. “Barou? Kunigami?”
“Not participating.” the orange head said, already retreating after witnessing the chaos in front of him. Barou simply stared for a good second before taking his turn.
“Only voting because Team Blue is basically Blue Lock. Got it, peasant?”
The boys rolled their eyes and after thanking them, you decided to stop for a quick water break, only to run straight into your grumpy boss and his sunshine assistant in the office.
“They both look shit” Ego said, turning around his chair, sipping the last remains of his ramen.
Anri hit him with her clipboard after listening to your explanation of the game before saying:
“I’m not sure L/N, they seem equally handsome.
You sighed, instructing Kiyora to follow you out of the office, to visit the last two person in the whole facility:
Oliver Aiku and Sendou Shuto.
“Hey boys!” you called out, jogging over. “Help us decide once and for all. Who’s more handsome? Rin or Sae?”
Sendou sent you a disgusted look as you handed him Sae’s portrait while Aiku laughed out loud at Rin’s.
“Please, Rin’s a baby.” the captain said, already casting his vote on the elder. “Sae’s pretty handsome only if he smiled a bit more.”
“Brooo…” the salmon-haired glared at his friend, handing you back the print out. “The ladies eat up baby doe eyes. But I hate to admit it, he’s got a point”
Taking the red sticker sheet, you let the striker cast his vote, eyes already scanning the dots.
Damn. They are equal. Again.
Tired, you were ready to do the outro and conclude the game with a draw when Oliver spoke up behind you.
“Wait a sec, one person hasn’t casted their vote yet.” pointing to you, he shoved the whiteboard to Sendou, and spread the two sticker sheets in front of you like someone about to read the future with tarot cards. “Go on, manager. Tell us. Who do you think looks better…”
Bumping into Rin, he was ready to walk away when his eyes caught the sight of himself and Sae on paper.
“What’s that?” he asked as you shyly explained the game, pointing to the red and blue stickers on your forehead.
Picking up a blue dot, he was ready to support his own team when you help up a finger and said. “You can’t vote for yourself, Rin.”
He paused before leaning down just enough for you to hear it. “Then vote for me”
