- Chapter 575: The first to leave abroad
Hiro listened ardently, pondering about the thing he wanted to talk about.
“Then wait for me, I’m coming over,” Shun said.
“Huh? You’re coming over?” Hiro mumbled in haste.
But Shun immediately hung up the call without providing him any explanations. Hiro had already informed him that he wouldn’t be leaving for home. So, Shun was well aware that he was around the club.
Feeling confused, Hiro stared dazedly at the phone, “When did he get back?”
Ring! Ring!
The sound of the doorbell chimed.
Hiro, upon hearing the doorbell, slowly walked to the door. Then before opening the door, he peeped through the peeping hole.
Before the door, Shun stood, casually dressed, his hair done. Wearing an amicable smile, he said, “It’s me. Open the door.”
Hiro opened the door, “When did you return?”
“Just a moment ago,” Shun answered.
The two then walked to the living room while chatting. Hiro still couldn’t tell what he wanted to talk about.
“Do you want some juice?” Hiro asked.
“Juice? In such cold weather? Aren’t you being weird?”
“Just say that you don’t want to,” Hiro mumbled sounding a little annoyed. “Don’t tell me that I didn’t ask later.”
“I won’t. I’m not here to freeload. Rather I’m here to invite you to a dinner,” Shun said in a cheerful tone.
Hiro squinched his eyes as he heard him, “For what reason?”
Knowing him, he was well aware that Shun was a freeloader. So, his offering to treat him, Hiro couldn’t help but feel suspicious. There must be something to it.
Immediately Hiro recalled the events where he had been taken advantage of by him. The time when he dragged him to a meetup to get the attention of the girls.
Hiro began to observe him. The neatly combed hair, the smell of perfume, and the way he dressed, all led him to the conclusion that he wanted to use him as a bargaining chip in the pretense of treating him to a nice dinner.
Shun broke out into a nervous laugh as he said, “Hahaha…, Don’t you trust your friend?”
Hiro outrightly spoke with a straight face, “No!”
“Tell me who are you trying to hook up with this time?” Hiro added while looking at him suspiciously.
“That was a one-time thing,” Shun immediately responded.
Hiro squinched his eyes as he said in a deep tone, “Make it three.”
“Yeah, yeah. You remember it. But trust me, it’s not that this time. I wanted to celebrate an auspicious moment with you.”
“Did you get a new girlfriend?” Hiro asked straightforwardly.
He couldn’t be more serious about it. Since the time he had started to make a name for himself, he had dated way too many girls. It wasn’t anything new for a famous footballer to receive multiple proposals after all.
Even Hiro had received many of them. But he was well aware that all of them were after him for his fame and fortune. Even if he decided to date, he wouldn’t date such girls. They are nothing more than distractions.
It’s not that he didn’t advise him against dating. But Shun wouldn’t listen. Well, considering his nature and age, it wasn’t something to be astonished by.
“It’s not that. Well, no…, I mean I did start dating someone new. But it’s not the auspicious news that I was talking about.”
Hiro couldn’t help but look at him with a disappointed gaze. But he also felt intrigued by what he mentioned later.
If he wasn’t here to brag about the girl he was dating then what was the reason he looked so happy? Naoto hadn’t left the club so, he wouldn’t get the position of the starting goalkeeper here. So, what made him so excited?
Did he win the lottery?
“I’m going overseas,” He exclaimed in an excited tone.
Hiro’s eyes dilated a little as he heard him. He couldn’t believe what he had heard just now, “You… don’t mean you’re transferring to a club overseas?”
Since Shun was older than Hiro, he was more than eligible to play overseas. But to be able to transfer overseas at the age of eighteen was a big achievement.
Surprised by the announcement, Hiro couldn’t help but stare at him dazedly.
“That’s right. I’m going to Europe.”
“Where? When did this happen?” Hiro asked, overwhelmed by the news.
“Liga Portugal.” He said proudly. “About a month ago, I received an offer from Braga. The proposal was great and I was even promised playing minutes. So, I took up the offer.”
Hiro revealed an elated smile on his face. Then again he frowned, “Did you look at the contract? What role are they offering you? What about your salary? What about the players on their roster? What about the release clause?”
Before deciding to sign the contract, a player needs to pay attention to many details. So, Hiro couldn’t help but worry about him getting scammed.
Although the opportunity was great, it wouldn’t amount to anything if he wasn’t given a fair contract. After all, there are a lot of players from overseas that get scammed.
Fortunately, he didn’t have to go through such hassles because he had Eric, one of the finest agents in the world with him. But although the agent under whom Shun worked was a decent one, he couldn’t fully trust him.
After all, he didn’t have any record of overseas transfers to the clubs in Europe.
“Don’t worry, Aoki-san has taken care of it. So, it will be alright,” Shun said in an assuring tone.
Hiro had wanted to introduce Shun to his agent Eric. But since he had hastily chosen his agent, he couldn’t do anything about it. After all, he was bound by the contract he had signed with
him.
Also, he had assumed that Shun wouldn’t transfer overseas before representing Kawasaki. But it seems like he had miscalculated a little.
With that being said, it seemed like it was highly unlikely for him to change his mind right now. Also, he didn’t want to spoil his mood. So, he dropped the matter.
“Congratulations, my friend. It is really an auspicious occasion. So, I’m not holding myself back today. You better treat me to some premium A5 Wagyu beef,” Hiro congratulated him with an elated smile on his face.
Hiro was truly happy for him. After all, he was already setting to the world stage. So, how could he not be happy for him? Such a big leap in career was a matter of envy for many. However, Hiro wasn’t envious of him in the least. Rather he was truly happy for him from the bottom of his heart.
From that moment, he experienced his determination and willpower, he had thought that he
would go on to become one of the best keepers.
And it seemed like he wasn’t wrong about him.
