After everything was over, including a short press conference and interview for the team social media that Higo was getting dragged to join, the boy was finally allowed to get out of the stadium, finding the two girls who had been supporting him earlier still waiting for him.
"Sorry, sorry, it takes longer than usual." Higo apologized quickly. He still carried the sports bag on his shoulder, but at least the boy had already changed into decent attire. "You girls haven't had any dinner yet, right? Come on, I'll introduce you to a good place! I'm so famished right now!"
Those two girls just stared amusedly at him, following the boy quietly. Kumiko was also in a state of slight bewilderment, narrowing her eyes to observe her childhood friend better.
