Chapter 523: Chaos outside Airport
It was evident that Japan was lacking a missing piece to complete the puzzle to their hopes of winning international silverware. And it seemed that Hiro was that final missing piece to complete the puzzle.
Hence, many eagerly looked forward to meeting him.
Just then players began to walk out of the airport. Just as they began to walk out the cheers grew even louder as the crowd grew even wilder.
Desperate to catch a glimpse, many people started pushing even harder as they tried to forcefully open up a path. At the same time, police and airport security personnel who had been tasked to handle the people began to make way for the players.
Against the constant pressure from the numerous supporters even they struggled to open up a path for the players to safely leave the premises.
"Huh, why are the players wearing masks?"
Many people were puzzled to find players with their faces covered. They had been eagerly waiting to see the players but now it appeared as if the players were intentionally hiding their appearance.
Was it some kind of gimmick?
Despite the attempts of the players to conceal their appearance, it didn't stop the reporters from attempting to interview the players.
It seemed as if they wouldn't move unless they got to interview Hiro.
After all, you could hear them chanting Hiro's name without any pause. It was as if they were adamant about interviewing Hiro.
However, even the reporters were struggling to identify Hiro.
"Hiro, how do you feel about your debut?" one of the reporters asked as he stopped one of the players who appeared quite identical to Hiro.
"I felt great about my debut. I wonder how you feel about my debut?" the player answered.
Upon hearing him, the reporter couldn't help but reveal a somewhat skeptical look on his face. It was as if something wasn't right.
"You have scored three goals on your debut. A feat that very few could manage to achieve. Were you nervous before going to the match?" he continued nonetheless.
When everybody was struggling to locate Hiro, somebody in the crowd caught a glimpse of the scenario. So, he immediately shouted, "He's here..."
"You shouldn't discriminate between players," Tatsuki said sounding somewhat gloomy. It was as if he was deeply hurt by their treatment. "I have scored multiple goals for the national team, yet you treat me with such indifference sob... sob..." he added as he began sobbing.
As they saw him frowning, they couldn't help but feel guilty.
After all, whatever he said was indeed correct. He had been performing for the team consistently. Yet, they were treating him as if he didn't mean anything.
That was how some fans felt when hearing him.
As for most of the reporters, they couldn't care less about his grievances. After all, they had to target the person at the center of the attention.
However, right now, he clearly wasn't at the center of the attention.
Tatsuki couldn't be bothered by their indifference either. After all, he was merely acting. Even
though he liked the attention, he wasn't an attention whore.
At the moment, he was merely helping Hiro by stalling time.
The more he stalls time for him, the more helpful it'll be for Hiro.
"But if you're still adamant about searching for Hiro, he should be somewhere among us," Tatsuki pointed out at the bunch of players who were steadily making their way out.
Immediately, reporters ran to catch up to the players in hopes of interviewing Hiro.
However, by now, Hiro had already left the premises in a private car called out by manager
Nanami.
Currently, he was already on his way to the railway station.
As for why he couldn't take a flight home, it was because he couldn't find a flight that
overlapped with the time of his arrival.
If he waited at the airport, he had to wait for about seven or eight hours to book a flight home.
So, there wasn't any point waiting that long when he could simply travel on a train.
