Blue Lock chapter 302, titled It's Fine, opened with Seishiro Nagi waking up to his alarm at home. He wakes up, greets his cactus Scissors, and leaves for school at Hakuho High. However, unlike before, Nagi had now become a kind of celebrity due to his time at Blue Lock. While one student praised his goal, others were interested to learn if he was planning to accept the pro offer he received at the end of the Neo Egoist League.

Amidst this, one girl was interested to learn what happened to Reo Mikage. In response, Nagi asked his classmates to forget it, as he had let go of his football career. His classmate wondered why he wasn't accepting the pro offer. But Nagi believed he was done with football.

Blue Lock chapter 302 then started depicting Seishiro Nagi's mundane daily life. He would eat food and play video games anytime he wanted. During this, he was reminded about the time when Reo mistakenly knocked his phone from his hand, and Nagi trapped it with his foot, preventing it from falling.

Later, Seishiro Nagi was seen returning home on his cycle. During this, he happened to see a huge billboard of Blue Lock Japan U-20 World Cup featuring Yoichi Isagi, Rin Itoshi, and Ryusei Shidou. Nevertheless, Nagi pretended he was fine and continued his mundane school life.

One such day, while Nagi was sulking in class, he saw a few boys playing football outside. Witnessing this scenery made Nagi tear up. While he thought he did not care about it, he could not understand why he felt so miserable.

Right after, Nagi started regretting not trying harder. He missed the fire, excitement, and moments. While it was all new to him, it was already too late. He found his time at Blue Lock fun, something he would never be able to forget. Unfortunately, there was no way for him to return even if he wanted to.
