Chapter 563: The Shop III


    ?


    Seeing him so worked up, Hiro couldn''t help but smile. That man although old was oozing passion for the sport. Lately, he hadn''t found such passion among the fans.


    So, it wouldn''t be an overstatement to say that Yoshida was one of the few rare souls with an unrivaled passion for the game.


    "Sir, how much do we owe you?" Hiro called out.


    Engrossed in the game before him, Yoshida hadn''t noticed the presence of Hiro. Only when he heard Hiro''s voice did he see him.


    With a rather agitated and disappointed expression, he turned to look at Hiro, "That''d be 2000 yen."


    Hiro rummaged through his pocket and took out a couple thousand yen bills. Then from the stash of bills, he handed two one thousand bills to Yoshida, "Here, you go."


    Yoshida kept the money and said, "See, I told you before, they''re ying extremely terrible. Previously, we would have been dominating the game but look at us now-huff! We can''t even move the ball steadily."


    Hiro let out a soft chuckle before responding, "I''m sure they''re giving their best. So, we should also be a little patient with them, shouldn''t we?"


    Yoshida didn''t seem pleased by Hiro''s reasoning. After all, he was ustomed to seeing his team winning. So, how could he be satisfied with a tie?


    "That''s the issue, we don''t have a lot of time on our hands. The season ising to an end and with such a performance, we might bottle the league." He expressed his concern.


    "Do you truly think that we might fail to win the league?" Hiro couldn''t resist the urge to ask. He could tell that Yoshida was a passionate supporter. But after hearing what he said, he couldn''t help but feel curious about his faith in the team.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om


    "It''s not that I doubt the yers but I can''t help but worry about the team. After all, I''m well aware that some of our starting yers will be leaving soon. So, I can''t help but feel worried about our future performance," Yoshida said with a frown.


    From what he heard, Hiro could tell that Yoshida was a devoted follower of the team. However, right now, he was merely worried about the future of the team.


    It might be because of the recent rumors that are circting all over the inte. After all, there were quite several rumors regarding Hiro''s possible transfer.


    Hiro nodded his head as he said solemnly, "Indeed, it''s as you said. In a few years, there''d be some yers leaving the club. But still, I can assure you that you don''t have to worry about their performance for a short while."


    Yoshida although found a gentle sce in his pleasant words couldn''t bring himself to trust Hiro''s words. He squinched his eyes as he looked at him with eyes full of skepticism, "How can you be so sure about it?"


    "Certainly, you can''t trust the words of a stranger," Hiro mumbled. Then, Hiro lifted his cap and pulled down his mask to reveal his face, "But what if it came from me? Do you still doubt the credibility of my words?"


    Yoshida''s eyes widened in surprise, "You''re... Hiro."


    His withered face revealed a shock as he found it hard to believe that the yer he liked watching was standing right before him.


    "I understand your sentiments. But as I said, you have to be a little patient," Hiro said with a gentle smile on his face.


    At this moment, Yoshida couldn''t be bothered about the talks of the future. There were so many things he wanted to ask him and now that he was present before him, he couldn''t resist the urge to ask those questions.


    Yoshida rolled his eyes to look at the other customers who were watching the television in an alert. Fortunately, they hadn''t noticed it was Hiro.


    Upon confirming that he hadn''t been noticed, he pulled him away.


    Hiro followed his lead without any hesitation.


    "Is it true that you''ll be out for the entirety of the season?" he asked, his toneced with urgency.


    Hiro gently nodded his head, "It''s true."


    Immediately, disappointment washed over him and he contorted his face in disappointment, "Argh, why does it have to be you?"


    While maintaining the smile on his face, Hiro said, "Honestly, I''m rather d that it was me. I can''t imagine watching others suffer."


    Hiro meant what he said. It wasn''t a bravado or a facade. After all, he possessed the system that could create miracles.


    "You''ve got quite a magnanimous heart," Yoshida praised. "But aren''t you infuriated at that Chinese yer who got you in such a situation?"


    Hiro answered immediately without any hesitation, "I''m not angry at him. He did what he had to and I''m doing what I have to do."


    Yoshida looked at him deeply in a daze. He couldn''t seem to understand his sentiments. How could he forgive someone so easily after they inflict such a grave injury on him?


    Yoshida couldn''t understand.


    If it were him, would he have been able to forgive the person? He thought for a while and figured that he wouldn''t be able to.


    But Hiro didn''t even me the person for the injury when the person tantly fouled him. Sure, he had experienced many things in life. But still, if somebody had intentionally sabotaged him, he wouldn''t be able to forgive that person that easily.


    "It''s not only the way you y but the way you think is also different," Yoshida mumbled.


    "Well, even if I want to take revenge on him, what good would it bring? The incident has already passed and I''ve already punished him with the goals I scored that day," Hiro said with a mischievous grin on his face.


    It''s not that he wasn''t infuriated at him. Rather he had been greatly infuriated by Wei Zen''s antics but he had already delivered the punishment befitting the rage he felt.


    So, he didn''t have any lingering feelings.


    Yoshida burst into a heartyugh as he heard him, "HAHAHA..., So that''s why you aren''t infuriated at him?"


    Hiro responded with a grin, "I''m not a sage, you know?"
