Seeing a smile form slowly on Kumiko's face, a contradiction as the trace of tears was also still there, some people started to get curious here.
"Is there any good news?" Makino couldn't help but ask.
"Yup! Kumiko chirped happily. "This time, the news is particularly for Makino-kun, Hiroshi-kun, and Takaaki-kun." She added, smiling mysteriously at those three boys she had just mentioned.
For a moment, everyone was puzzled here. This seemed to come out of nowhere, and when the girl was in her playful mood like this, the news could be anything. However, Makino was the first one to connect the dots, with his eyes widened in pure shock.
"Wait, does the news related to…" He let his words trail behind, unable to finish them. However, his eyes were full of hope, inwardly praying that his guess was right.
"Yup! Some scouts started to inquire about you guys!" Kumiko nodded in confirmation, acting as an angel that had just granted the captain his biggest wish in this tournament.
