Chapter 993: Opening (3)
The morning after the opening ceremony, at the Japanese team’s accommodation.
Hirano Seiji woke up later than expected.
The exchange competition had just begun, but his body already felt as if it had been several days since it started.
No matter how difficult things were, he had built the habit of sleeping well and waking up well, but today, for some reason, it was hard for him to fall asleep.
Since the coach was handling things like strategizing or forming teams for the first event, there was nothing for Hirano Seiji to do, but still, he felt off.
‘Anyway, I just need to follow instructions, get enough rest, and keep my condition up...’
Hirano Seiji tried to ignore the cause of his fatigue as he took longer than usual to get ready.
But before stepping out the door, he was confronted with the source of his discomfort.
He couldn't take his eyes off the player’s uniform, which resembled a lotus flower.
He needed to put it on and head out, but his hand just wouldn’t reach for it.
‘I can’t go out without it. It’ll stand out.’
While forcing himself to put on the outfit, yesterday’s events came to mind.
