"Because for the next four years, GodDraw77 will open because of me!"
The youthful voice echoed across the long river.
Not humble. Not reserved.
Arrogant to the point of defying the sky.
GodDraw77 thought, even if she herself were sent back into the Divine Game right now, she wouldn't be able to shout such words.
Not because she couldn't, or wouldn't—just…
She couldn't quite put her finger on it.
Maybe it was simply that when people grew older, they became ashamed to shout their dreams to the entire world.
Was that the real reason Divine Game had an age limit? Because people lost something as they grew up…
After Rita's declaration, no one on the field spoke for a long time.
She suddenly understood a phrase she'd seen before but never really grasped: "Silence can be deafening."
And just like that, she couldn't keep a straight face anymore—she burst out laughing.
