A calm and decisive voice resonated within the room as the eyes of the group turned toward her. Hina exhaled; her breath was fragile but heavy, washing away the tension she had built and making her ready to face the match that would be held next.
Within the tense atmosphere around the group, she stood up, glanced toward the others, and spoke her mind.
"I am going".
"Um, Good luck out there, Hina".
Hisako warmly smiled at the figure of her daughter, who seemed to have experienced many things in her life. She used to feel ignorant toward those around her and acted in denial when someone tried to approach her.
However, none of that can be felt in Hina's current figure, which made Hisako and Hiroshi glad that their daughter could change under Soma's influence.
"!".
Hiroshi didn't talk much but from the moment their eyes met, both could understand each other's intentions clearly.
