Chapter 182 Invitation

After entering the amusement park, the time flowed rather smoothly. And without even realising, more than five hours had passed.

Excluding Akashi who was looking like someone who had his heart broken, each and every single one of them had big wide smile on their faces while they were making their way towards the bus stand.

Far in the horizon, while the sun was descending towards the horizon, the sky had transformed into a breathtaking canvas of warm hues.

The surrounding air was filled with a sense of tranquility and for a moment it seemed like that the world was slowing down.

Their joyous laughter and conversation which was filled with excitement was resounding in every place they passed while they were making their way towards the bus stand.

Spending a whole day with his old friends and the girl who he used to like in his previous life, Hiro was also in a pretty good mood.

Finally as they were about to arrive at the bus stand, another girl who had been accompanying them, walk towards Hiro as she suddenly grabbed Sumire's hands.

Leaning her body against Sumire's, she then turned her head towards Hiro as she spoke excitedly, "Can I ask you for a favour?"

Reflecting the warm light of the setting sun, her eyes were sparkling. And looking at her puppy face, he could very well tell that he wouldn't be able to reject her.

Well he could have still rejected her but he had no good reasons to do so. Plus, he also didn't want to leave a negative impression on Sumire.

Thus he reluctantly nodded his head and answered softly, "As long as you don't ask me to do something crazy."

Just as Hiro agreed to her request, her face brightened as her brows raised and a smiled appeared on her face, "Don't worry I won't make you do anything crazy. You just have to make an appearance in my newtube channel."

Although he didn't find her request that hard, he still found it quite bothersome. Thus, he indirectly tried to make her change her mind, "But I'm not even that famous. I'm just a football player who's playing in a youth league. It would have been a different story if I were playing for J-league teams."

Despite Hiro's effort of trying to discourage her, she was very optimistic. And just like how he had predicted, she wasn't going to take no for an answer.

"Yeah! The most sought after youth player in all over japan, currently." She scoffed as she looked at Hiro with her determined eyes. "So, don't try to discourage me. I'm not going to change my mind."

Both her words and her emotions were very clear. And when she spoke those words, Hiro could instinctively tell that she wasn't going to be persuaded no matter what.

Thus having no choice but to agree to her request, Hiro docilely nodded his head as he agreed to her request, "Okay where should I come and at what time should I meet you?"

Sumire who was walking between Hiro and the other girl mused as she found Hiro's reactions very sweet.

Faced with Hiro's questions, she then took her phone out. Tapping few times, she opened her Instagram account and asked, "Tell me your insta ID, I'll add you and text you the details."

"It's Wizard" Hiro mumbled a bit hesitantly.

She then began to search and as she finished sending a follow request to Hiro, she spoke in somewhat excited tone, "Done! I've sent you a follow request. So make sure you follow me back as well."

Nodding his head, Hiro replied, "Okay, I'll follow you back but please don't tell it to others. I don't want a lot of people to find my personal account. I just want to keep this account private."

While pleading such, Hiro turned towards Sumire, "Can we add each other as well?"

Sumire smiled as she nodded her head, agreeing to his request.

**** ****

Late in the night when Hiro was going through his phone while lying on the bed, his eyes widened all of a sudden as he noticed something in the screen.

The thing which had caused him to react in such a way was a message from manager Makoto.

"I... I've been invited by the national U-17 team!!" Hiro muttered after reading the context of the message sent by manager Makoto with a look of disbelief in his eyes.

His eyes reflecting the light of the screen, his mouth agape and his thumb frozen atop the screen, Hiro couldn't believe the words he was reading currently.

"Is this for real?" In a state of daze, Hiro muttered while staring at the screen infront.

Unsure about whether what he was seeing was real or not, Hiro rechecked the context of message few times. But no matter how many times he checked the validity of the message, nothing changed.

The message was legit.

And as he confirmed the validity of the message, his face brightened as he abruptly rose from his bed.

Without wasting any time, Hiro then immediately dialed manager Makoto's number as he began to call him that late in the night.

Ring!! Ring!! Ring!!

Few seconds passed, yet manager Makoto wasn't picking the call. And the more he heard the ringing sound coming from the phone, the more he got impatient.

"Why is he not picking the call?" Anxiously complained Hiro.

Clack!!

"Look at the time before saying such."

Answered manager Makoto as he heard Hiro's complaints while he was waiting for manager Makoto to pick the call.

Upon hearing manager Makoto's response, Hiro started to panic, "I'm sorry... Sorry... Sir. I didn't mean to say such."

Makoto shrugged as he asked the reason behind Hiro's call, "Never mind. Just tell me, why you called me so late in the night?"

Manager Makoto's voice sounded a lot deeper than usual. It sounded exactly as if he had just awoken from his sleep.

The first thing Hiro did after hearing manager Makoto's question was to apologise him for disturbing him so late in the night, "Sorry sir. I just opened your message right now. And after opening the message I just couldn't hold myself back from talking with you regarding that topic."

The apologetic tone of Hiro's voice clearly reflected his genuine intentions.

Just when Hiro finished speaking, manager Makoto let out a yawn as he responded, "If you called me regarding the email I sent you, then yes that email is legit. You've been invited by the national U-17 team. Although your spot is still in limbo. You've been invited to join the training camp which will be held about at the last week of the summer vacation."

"However you'll have to make your decision within fifteen days."
