Finally, after wandering around for a while, Hiro arrived at the pitch. Walking out of the tunnel, Hiro stood before the tunnel. With the absence of the spectators, the stadium was ghastly silent. It was something different from what he was used to. Having played here under the watchful gazes of thousands of spectators, Hiro wasn't used to the silence. This moment felt like the first time he had visited here. Then he settled at the center of the pitch. "This place holds a lot of memories for you, doesn't it?" a middle-aged man dressed elegantly in formal attire asked Hiro. His short black hair was neatly combed, and he had a rather well-defined jaw with a clean-shaven face. Holding a microphone, he looked straight at Hiro. Hiro sweeping his gaze around nodded, "Indeed. This place holds a lot of memories. I don't think I'd be able to forget those memories for the rest of my life. Even now as I look around, I feel like I'm at home."
He had a solemn expression. However, his voice was tinged with a faint sense of grief. It felt almost as if he was having a hard time bidding his farewell. "But now that you have to bid your farewell, do you feel sad?" the reporter asked. Hiro, however, paused before he answered. During that time, he thought about his feelings. Would he feel sad about leaving here? Hiro asked himself. From the beginning, Hiro had set his eyes on the world. So, it shouldn't be that hard for him to bid his farewell now. However, oddly for some reason, the awareness of leaving didn't sit well with him. He felt as if a hole had been carved in his heart. But was this feeling of grief? Hiro couldn't be sure about it. However, he could tell that he'd definitely miss this place. After all, this familiar environment had started feeling like home. This feeling of home, how could he not miss it? Hiro's palm rested atop his chin and he fidgeted his fingers as if he were deeply pondering over something, "Honestly... it feels difficult to bid farewell. But I know that we won't part forever. It's not a goodbye but a short separation."
The corner of his lips curled slightly and Hiro faced the camera. Then he revealed a warm smile, "We will meet again, don't you think so?"

Madrid, Spain
In Madrid, the Wanda Metropolitano was awash with excitement. Fans had gathered in droves outside the airport, chanting and waving flags, their voices hoarse from hours of anticipation. The street was crowded and bustling with an electrifying atmosphere. Excitement lingered in the air and the streets buzzed with excitement. The surge of people blocked the traffic as they moved. Their voice chanted in unison while they expressed their excitement. Finally, the much-awaited transfer had been done, and Hiro was on his way to Spain. Though the club hadn't revealed Hiro's arrival late, somehow, the information had been made public. What started as a rumor had now traveled far and wide, spreading like wildfire. With hopes of seeing Hiro, the fans had gathered outside the Madrid International Airport. Hiro was one of the best talents in the world, and they had seen his flair on the pitch before. With such a talent signing for their club, how could they not be interested? The airport was swarmed with people, and the club didn't have any other choice but to dispatch a couple of security personnel to assist Hiro. It wasn't their intention to reveal his arrival date. After all, they were preparing a grand unveiling ceremony to introduce him to the fans. However, with the information being leaked, the club didn't have any other choice than to prepare accordingly. Previously, the club was only planning to dispatch a few chauffeurs, and a few individuals to receive him. However, now that the situation had escalated further, they didn't have any other choice than to increase the number of security personnel. A huge crowd of people clad in the Atletico jersey were waiting outside the airport to catch a glimpse of Hiro. At the same time, a couple of reporters were also covering the news. To them, it was content worth exploring. Lately, Hiro had been the talk of the town. He also had a huge fan following due to his marvelous performance in the World Cup. On top of that, he was one of the most sought-after youngsters in the entire world. With such accolades under his name, how could they miss such an opportunity? At 10:45 in the morning, Hiro landed safely.
He was supposed to arrive here before to do medicals. However, because of the ongoing schedule, he had to push the date. Though Hiro had transferred here before the end of the winter transfer window, it'd be a while before he could step on the pitch. However, Hiro wasn't concerned. Even though he couldn't debut immediately, Hiro was filled with excitement. He had been promised minutes by Simeone. But there was slight concern regarding his debut. Unlike other new signings who'd debut in a new season, he had to debut midseason as the season here hadn't come to an end. So, there were a few concerns regarding his debut. Arriving at the airport, Hiro was immediately met with the sight of a few individuals dressed in black awaiting him. They were vigilantly sweeping their gaze, analyzing almost every individual exiting the airport terminal. Immediately upon spotting him, they rushed to him. Hiro had been already introduced to one of them. So, it didn't him long to recognize the group of individuals. He could tell that they were the ones sent by the club to receive him. So, seeing them brought a smile to his face. 'Why did they send so many people to receive me?' Hiro couldn't help but feel confused upon finding the number of people awaiting him. Unlike the people outside, Hiro wasn't aware of the gathering crowd outside the airport. So, he couldn't help but feel perplexed at their number.
