''Daddy!'' Alice ran towards Irwin and sat next to him.

Irwin instantly smiled, ''Alice, what are you doing here?''

''Our match will be in an hour,'' Alice replied.

Irwin nodded.

''But, why aren't you with your teammates?''

Alice pouted, ''They are only acting macho and trying to impress me.''

Irwin chuckled and patted her head, ''Are they bothering you?''

Alice shook her head, ''No, but I wished that they would focus on the tournament instead.''

Irwin nodded, ''What do you think about your chances of winning after seeing the Round of 32?''

Alice sighed— she had a bittersweet smile, ''Not good... The Four Kings are monsters...''

''Four Kings... What about the Third King, Ichiro?'' Irwin asked.

Alice pondered, ''I think... He is another kind of monster.''

''You think so?''

Alice nodded, ''I noticed that he is concentrating a lot like he will have a battle of his life.''
