Even though she couldn't see him, she could tell he was worried. Hence, as she heard him, she replied imdiately to alleviate his worries, "Don't worry, he's doing well. Lately, he has been able to stay awake for long. By the ti you return, he'll probably start walking too."
She responded, her tone reassuring.
Hiro couldn't detect any shred of lies in her voice. So, he heaved a sigh of relief as he heard her. After confirming his father's well-being, he conversed with her for a while.
The matter regarding his father's health had been troubling him for quite a while. But now that he confird his well-being, he felt quite delighted. It was as if sobody had lifted a heavy burden from his shoulder.
As he ended the call, he walked to his bed and hopped onto the bed. With his arms spread, he lay flat on the bed, his back pressed against the soft mattress.
For a while, he remained still at his place.
Then he raised his arms, bringing his phone close to his face.
"I wonder how others are doing? It has been quite a long ti since we last talked," Hiro murmured while staring at his phone screen.
There were many unread chats shown on his phone screen. Those ssages were mostly from his friends. After all, only a few close people could text him on this account.
One by one, he then started to reply to the ssages sent to him.
Most of them were about his debut.
They were congratulating him for his magnificent debut.
"Congratulations, Hiro. You are quite sothing. I thought that you were simply trying to cheer yourself up when you said that you would score on your debut. But after watching your performance, you have left us all speechless."
Read one of the ssages. It belonged to Ishikawa.
When he was in Japan, he used to almost converse with her daily, apart from the matchdays. Their conversation mostly consisted of their daily activities.
But since his departure from Japan, they hadn't talked much.
Smiling, he answered, "Thank you. I saw that your channel is doing quite well too. So, congratulations to you too."
Teaming up with Akashi and a few others, Ishikawa had been running a YouTube channel. It was the sa channel, where Hiro once made an appearance.
Lately, because of their cooperation, it has been doing quite well.
So of its fa could also be attributed to Hiro's rising popularity. After all, due to Hiro's rising popularity their channel had been getting quite a traffic. All those people who searched for him were led to their channel.
Buzz!
Ishikawa's phone buzzed.
At the mont, she was in front of her study table, doing so schoolwork. The lamp on her table shone on the notebook placed on her table.
Coincidentally, she was just about to take a break.
Hearing the buzz, she reached for her phone. Then as she turned on her phone, she found the ssage from Hiro.
Upon seeing the text, her face blood like a blooming spring flower while at the sa ti, a subtle smile graced her plum lips.
But when she went through his ssage, her face withered. She had left him with such a long ssage but all he replied was a simple thank you.
Was he for real?
Then again as she recalled his personality, she couldn't help but sigh. It was just like him. At tis, he'd be the most interesting person to talk with while at tis, he would beco the most boring person.
Thinking about his split personality, at tis, she couldn't help but think if he had a split personality disorder.
"Most of it is thanks to you."
"No, it's all because of your collective effort," Hiro responded.
"Are you trying to act humble now? If you are then you are quite a terrible actor."
"You know well that I can't act well. If only, I could borrow Akashi's acting talent, I might
have been even better. Ah talking about Akashi, how is he?"
"As usual, he keeps on boasting about you. He never misses a chance to introduce you to every new people he ets. Sotis, I wonder if he's running a fan club."
Exchanging conversations the two talked for a while. Alongside lengthy texts, many flashy emojis could be seen on their screen.
Since he had all day to himself, he could do as he pleased. So, he spent most of his free ti, conversing with his friends.
Though he couldn't get in touch with all of his friends, he still got to talk to a few of his closest friends. As for Shun, he couldn't reach him.
But he had received a warm ssage from him as well.
The next day, Hiro and his teammates hit the street in the evening.
They were accompanied by a local who went by the na Carlos.
With tanned skin, curly hair, and sharp penetrating eyes, he had a rather lean body. Carlos worked as a waiter in the hotel they were lodging at the mont.
But right now, he was their guide to the city.
Yesterday, so guys from the team put forward the proposition of exploring the city to the coaches. However, even though they were practically grown-ups, it was quite risky to let them wander on their own.
After all, it was an unknown place. So, who knows if they'd wander into so places they shouldn't enter? Worse they might get robbed or kidnapped.
With such dangers lurking around, how could they allow them to leave?
But they couldn't deny their proposal either.
So to prevent such disasters, the coaching staff asked the manager of the hotel for a favor. Responding to their concerns, the manager of the hotel hired a local to guide the players. And that person whom the manager had hired to guide the players was Carlos.
Carlos could fluently speak English. Also, he was a local who knew his way around the city. So for such reasons, he was hired as their guide.
"Carlos, you rember about our deal, don't you?" Hiro asked.
Carlos gave him a wry smile before responding, "Don't worry, I'll take you to an amazing place you'll never forget."
