Higo could feel his heart beating so loud right now that he could even hear it clearly. His palm was sweating, and as Riku got closer, his legs quivered for a second. This was probably the most nervous he had ever been in his life.
'Come on… Where are you going…' He licked his lips unconsciously, eyes never turning away from the boy who was rushing to his side.
Honestly, this scene reminded Higo of the time during his first conflict with his senpai. The boy could still remember clearly the American-style penalty, and the situation right now resembled that time a lot.
He also ran forward a little, not too much to warrant any chip shot again, but still enough to cover the wide area in the middle. It wasn't still enough, though, as the other areas were basically exposed right now. However, this was the risk that he had to take for this to happen, and Higo was ready to bear the consequence if he conceded a goal.
'Everything is ready, now… Left!'
