After the call with all the Hakodate Nishi members of his generation, Higo seemed distracted by the crazy schedule waiting for him with Schalke. No, he took his sweet time catching up with all his friends back home.
The last time he saw them in action was in the Inter-High tournament last summer, when the team was getting beaten by Sapporo Otani. At that time, Higo was still busy with Makino and Kumiko, preparing themselves for the World Cup U-20 in Poland.
A year had passed, and somehow, all the busy schedule with Schalke made the boy forget about the friends who helped him climb the ladder to reach this point. It would be a lie if Higo said that he didn't feel guilty here. That was why, even when the call was over, he still took his time to chat with everyone else via the messenger app to inquire about their situation.
