The man looked like an ordinary office worker, wearing a formal suit with a clean hairstyle and glasses as thick as the book that Takaaki always carried. However, those ridiculous appearances couldn't hide his enthusiasm as he shook Kumiko's hand excitedly.
For a moment, both Makino and Higo just stared at each other, confused. At first, they thought they were going to meet an important person. However, it was like a fan meeting, with the man keeping chatting about their achievements as he knew them quite well.
"So, you are Higo-san, right? I heard that you only started playing football last April! As expected of a genius!"
"Tomoaki Makino, your record of going to the national tournament in middle school is impressive! If not for your injury, you would be one of the best defenders in the country right now, I truly believe that!"
