"-Asuto-san."

You gave a subtle nod, expressing your gratitude towards him as the latter thanked Kazemaru. As you scanned the room, your eyes eventually landed on Goenji, who was quietly eating his mocha cake. However, his moment of solitude was abruptly interrupted as he noticed your eyes fixed upon him.

Goenji Shuuya was a remarkable individual, captivating the attention of all who watched the original series. It wasn't until the emergence of other series that he truly shone amongst them. As the match drew to a close, he, Endou, and Kazemaru made plans to convene afterwards. However, as they emerged from the stadium, they were taken aback to find Endou accompanied by two members of the Inakuni soccer team. It transpired that Endou had extended an invitation to them to join their group. He found himself intrigued by you, and thus, saw no reason to resist the current of curiosity. Why not allow himself to be carried along and discover more about you?

"Goenji Shuuya."

"Nozomi Kamui."

As if by some unspoken agreement, the two of you exchanged names, as though you had both intuitively sensed the need to introduce yourselves.

Kazemaru couldn't help but let out a small bead of sweat as he observed the seamless interaction between the two of you. The two men in question seemed completely unaware of their surroundings, sparkling with an air of obliviousness.

Contrary to your initial assumptions, it appears that you may have misunderstood Kazemaru's intentions when he inadvertently gazed at your ice cream. In an act of true gentility, you graciously offered him a taste of your frozen treat, extending your spoon in a gesture of kindness.

As you extended your spoon towards the gentleman, he couldn't help but feel a sense of embarrassment wash over him. The casual manner in which you held the utensil, particularly in his direction, caused a deep blush to spread across his cheeks.

As Kazemaru displayed a fleeting expression, your eyes instinctively flickered in response. You withdrew your spoon, which had been poised to scoop up a mouthful of ice cream, and lapsed into a contemplative silence.

The young boy was consumed by a sense of remorse, causing him to bow his head in shame. Just as he was about to utter an apology, his attention was abruptly drawn to the sight of a delectable ice cream treat placed before him. The frozen treat that you had been relishing with great pleasure earlier belonged to you.

You replied to him, "I'm not hungry...you could eat them if you want..." without recognizing what you had just done earlier.

With a mouthful of food, Goenji cast a sidelong glance at the two of you. He observed Kazemaru's evident embarrassment, and he noted your nonchalant demeanor, unfazed by the situation at hand.

"Mui-san, how did you do that?" Asuto changed the subject, about which you are presently confused.

"I slide the ice cream to him normally."

Endou couldn't help but chuckle at your amusing antics and decided to interrupt you with a playful remark, "Oh, you silly goose!" He was expounding on the methodology of gameplay earlier.

You gazed at him with a blank expression, and the others present were equally intrigued, having observed your techniques earlier. They waited expectantly for your response for nearly thirty seconds as you pondered your answer before finally replying, "No."

They fell comically on the table, you on the other hand can't help to feel better by the funny interaction in front of you. It was refreshing to see a sight.

"What do you mean by no?! Nozomi-san?!" Endou complained as he hoped to hear your strategy.

"Just no."
