Chapter 523: Chaos outside Airport
?
It was evident that Japan wascking a missing piece toplete the puzzle to their hopes of winning international silverware. And it seemed that Hiro was that final missing piece toplete the puzzle.
Hence, many eagerly looked forward to meeting him.
Just then yers began to walk out of the airport. Just as they began to walk out the cheers grew even louder as the crowd grew even wilder.
Desperate to catch a glimpse, many people started pushing even harder as they tried to forcefully open up a path. At the same time, police and airport security personnel who had been tasked to handle the people began to make way for the yers.
Against the constant pressure from the numerous supporters even they struggled to open up a path for the yers to safely leave the premises.
"Huh, why are the yers wearing masks?"
Many people were puzzled to find yers with their faces covered. They had been eagerly waiting to see the yers but now it appeared as if the yers were intentionally hiding their appearance.
Was it some kind of gimmick?
Despite the attempts of the yers to conceal their appearance, it didn''t stop the reporters from attempting to interview the yers.
It seemed as if they wouldn''t move unless they got to interview Hiro.
After all, you could hear them chanting Hiro''s name without any pause. It was as if they were adamant about interviewing Hiro.
However, even the reporters were struggling to identify Hiro.
"Hiro, how do you feel about your debut?" one of the reporters asked as he stopped one of the yers who appeared quite identical to Hiro.
"I felt great about my debut. I wonder how you feel about my debut?" the yer answered.
Upon hearing him, the reporter couldn''t help but reveal a somewhat skeptical look on his face. It was as if something wasn''t right.
"You have scored three goals on your debut. A feat that very few could manage to achieve. Were you nervous before going to the match?" he continued nheless.
When everybody was struggling to locate Hiro, somebody in the crowd caught a glimpse of the scenario. So, he immediately shouted, "He''s here..."
Just as they heard him, their eyes jolted toward the youth who had been stopped by one of the reporters to interview.
At once, along with people other reporters who were also struggling to locate Hiro rushed to him thinking that they had finally managed to locate Hiro.
Now that they had located him, how could they sit still?
They had to get their hands on the piece of pie or else, how would they face their boss upon returning to work?
Wouldn''t they get reprimanded if they returned empty-handed?
At this moment when everybody was focused on the so-called Hiro, Hiro who had disguised himself as one of the airport staff sneaked his way out of the chaos before him.
"Well..., who wouldn''t be nervous about their debut?" the youth replied as he appeared to be stalling for time for some reason.
At this moment, a bunch of security personnel had circled him, preventing people from rushing on him. If any looked at him being protected to such a degree, they would probably assume him to be someone important for sure.
Maybe it was because of themotion around them that most of the reporters failed to find anything strange or out of order.
Well, it''d be a miracle if any found out that the youth in question wasn''t Hiro amidst such a chaotic atmosphere.
Yet still, amidst the ongoing chaos, someone managed to find something odd.
Strangely, he didn''t sound like Hiro at all.
It was one of the reporters who had interviewed Hiro on multiple asions.
"You''re not Hiro, are you?" a rather young-looking female reporter tantly pointed out as she shot a gaze full of skepticism at him.
Just as she said so, everybody looked at him suspiciously.
Sweeping his gaze across, he concluded that he wouldn''t be able to keep up the role-y any further. So the youth in question revealed a subtle chuckle before taking his mask down, "Hahaha..., Who said that I was Hiro? I thought that you were questioning my debut"
The person who was getting interviewed was Tatsuki.
Many upon seeing his appearance contorted their face in annoyance. They couldn''t help butin about the matter.
His appearance left them utterly disappointed.
"You shouldn''t discriminate between yers," Tatsuki said sounding somewhat gloomy. It was as if he was deeply hurt by their treatment. "I have scored multiple goals for the national team, yet you treat me with such indifference sob... sob..." he added as he began sobbing.
As they saw him frowning, they couldn''t help but feel guilty.
After all, whatever he said was indeed correct. He had been performing for the team consistently. Yet, they were treating him as if he didn''t mean anything.
That was how some fans felt when hearing him.
As for most of the reporters, they couldn''t care less about his grievances. After all, they had to target the person at the center of the attention.
However, right now, he clearly wasn''t at the center of the attention.
Tatsuki couldn''t be bothered by their indifference either. After all, he was merely acting. Even
though he liked the attention, he wasn''t an attention whore.
At the moment, he was merely helping Hiro by stalling time.
The more he stalls time for him, the more helpful it''ll be for Hiro.
"But if you''re still adamant about searching for Hiro, he should be somewhere among us," Tatsuki pointed out at the bunch of yers who were steadily making their way out.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Immediately, reporters ran to catch up to the yers in hopes of interviewing Hiro.
However, by now, Hiro had already left the premises in a private car called out by manager
Nanami.
Currently, he was already on his way to the railway station.
As for why he couldn''t take a flight home, it was because he couldn''t find a flight that
ovepped with the time of his arrival.
If he waited at the airport, he had to wait for about seven or eight hours to book a flight home.
So, there wasn''t any point waiting that long when he could simply travel on a train.
