"Higo-kun, a word, please."
It was right before the players entered the pitch, when Hiroki Ito suddenly called Higo to have a little chat. Not knowing what the man wanted to do, Higo just shrugged, following him to one corner of the tunnel for a private moment there.
For a moment, silence followed, since Higo didn't intend to open up this conversation. He just scanned the man in front of him quickly from head to toe while waiting to hear what this was about.
'Thinking about it, this is probably the first time we actively communicate with each other, right?' Higo muttered in realization. 'I mean, besides in our very first game, we usually are not paired together that much. Most of the time, he will just be with Zion. So, maybe he just wants to establish an order?'
After a few seconds in silence with his head full of questions, Higo finally got the answer he wanted, and it was definitely not something he expected.
"I want you to treat me like I am Makino-kun."
