It was the next day, when Higo and Kumiko had already found themselves sitting on a plane comfortably. Right now, they were just waiting for it to board back to Sapporo, while Makino decided to go straight to Yokohama for his trial.
During this waiting time, Higo's mind was still haunted by the information he received yesterday, and he couldn't help but ask the girl next to him.
"Um? Miyaichi?" Kumiko blinked, taking off her earphones when Higo asked her about that. "You mean Ryo Miyaichi from Chukyo High? Of course, I heard about him. I told you about him as well, right? A few months ago, after Draxler-san came to you for the first time ever."
Higo gulped for a moment. Indeed, he remembered it well now. Kumiko told him worriedly about the only player who went abroad after the high school tournament, and the man didn't do well outside. At that time, though, Higo was still drunk from the offer, and the explanation just went straight over his head.
