You didn't go to France with the rest of them, along with Kariya. You understood the reason for the Brown, which is why you even smiled and decided to play along with him. You didn't express much enthusiasm about going to this place, but you didn't object. You just referred to possible problems and the lack of strong players. It's amazing that no one noticed your deception. Except for Kirino. It was clear from his look that he would discuss this issue with you later.

You must have lost track of time while waiting for your friends to return. Oh, this time travel! But at the same time, no one could have predicted what would happen here. Hmm... France... The fifteenth century... It was interesting, of course, but this era didn't attract you so much.

That wasn't even the main thing for you. You remembered that Kirino was unhappy that you had just given up on this trip. Ha! If only he had known that Kariya was lying about his sore stomach. And you hoped that this was the right thing to do.

All this time you were lying on the football field with your legs crossed and your head propped on your hands. Your gaze was fixed on the blue sky, which was devoid of a single cloud.

You didn't even notice how your eyelids closed. And deep down, you began to worry about your friend. What if everything goes wrong? What if they fail? No, not really. They should come back with another victory.

You didn't hear because you were deep in sleep, but the team returned. And your body, unaware of what was happening, did not feel anyone approaching. However, your ears have picked up the rustle of grass and an unfamiliar presence. It triggered an alarm and you woke up.

To your surprise, you saw... Kirino? No, no, he looks different. His hair is still tied in two ponytails, but it has become longer. Besides, they're not pink, they're light. His eyes are now azure in color, and they are decorated with glasses.

Deep down, you were happy that Kirino got his Mixi Max. You didn't hide your joy and pride for him. However, this did not save you from the fact that Kirino was going to make a remark to you. But you got ahead of him by hugging him, and he was so surprised that he even adjusted his glasses.
