Chapter 504: City exploration



Even though she couldn't see him, she could tell he was worried. Hence, as she heard him, she replied immediately to alleviate his worries, "Don't worry, he's doing well. Lately, he has been able to stay awake for long. By the time you return, he'll probably start walking too."

She responded, her tone reassuring.

Hiro couldn't detect any shred of lies in her voice. So, he heaved a sigh of relief as he heard her. After confirming his father's well-being, he conversed with her for a while.

The matter regarding his father's health had been troubling him for quite a while. But now that he confirmed his well-being, he felt quite delighted. It was as if somebody had lifted a heavy burden from his shoulder.

As he ended the call, he walked to his bed and hopped onto the bed. With his arms spread, he lay flat on the bed, his back pressed against the soft mattress.

For a while, he remained still at his place.

Then he raised his arms, bringing his phone close to his face.

"I wonder how others are doing? It has been quite a long time since we last talked," Hiro murmured while staring at his phone screen.

There were many unread chats shown on his phone screen. Those messages were mostly from his friends. After all, only a few close people could text him on this account.

One by one, he then started to reply to the messages sent to him.

Most of them were about his debut.

They were congratulating him for his magnificent debut.

"Congratulations, Hiro. You are quite something. I thought that you were simply trying to cheer yourself up when you said that you would score on your debut. But after watching your performance, you have left us all speechless."

Read one of the messages. It belonged to Ishikawa.

When he was in Japan, he used to almost converse with her daily, apart from the matchdays. Their conversation mostly consisted of their daily activities.

But since his departure from Japan, they hadn't talked much.

have been even better. Ah talking about Akashi, how is he?"

"As usual, he keeps on boasting about you. He never misses a chance to introduce you to every new people he meets. Sometimes, I wonder if he's running a fan club."

Exchanging conversations the two talked for a while. Alongside lengthy texts, many flashy emojis could be seen on their screen.

Since he had all day to himself, he could do as he pleased. So, he spent most of his free time, conversing with his friends.

Though he couldn't get in touch with all of his friends, he still got to talk to a few of his closest friends. As for Shun, he couldn't reach him.

But he had received a warm message from him as well.

The next day, Hiro and his teammates hit the street in the evening.

They were accompanied by a local who went by the name Carlos.

With tanned skin, curly hair, and sharp penetrating eyes, he had a rather lean body. Carlos worked as a waiter in the hotel they were lodging at the moment.

But right now, he was their guide to the city.

Yesterday, some guys from the team put forward the proposition of exploring the city to the coaches. However, even though they were practically grown-ups, it was quite risky to let them wander on their own.

After all, it was an unknown place. So, who knows if they'd wander into some places they shouldn't enter? Worse they might get robbed or kidnapped.

With such dangers lurking around, how could they allow them to leave?

But they couldn't deny their proposal either.

So to prevent such disasters, the coaching staff asked the manager of the hotel for a favor. Responding to their concerns, the manager of the hotel hired a local to guide the players. And that person whom the manager had hired to guide the players was Carlos.

Carlos could fluently speak English. Also, he was a local who knew his way around the city. So for such reasons, he was hired as their guide.

"Carlos, you remember about our deal, don't you?" Hiro asked.

Carlos gave him a wry smile before responding, "Don't worry, I'll take you to an amazing place you'll never forget."
