Miss Yui and the other principals were celebrating their first victory as the Japanese team entered their room while lying on the bed and heavily perspiring.
“I thought you guys were going to lose?” Anaya said. “Not until we noticed you with your arms wide and laughing like a maniac.”
Otake inquired about Zhang Mei's whereabouts from Tahara, who was on the bed, as he had not seen her fighting or moving. Tahara pretended not to have heard his question as he changed the subject.
The group made the decision to take a break for the day after the principals left the room, and they happily dozed off.
The following morning, as the next tournament was about to begin, the group got up early. They turned on the television in front of them, and as the next match was being announced, the golden sun shone brightly down upon them. The next match was a match between Ghana and New Zealand. Dúkũ sat up straight even though his injuries were still not in shape, staring at the screen.
