Aoi lets her and hands her the laptop. Mila gladly takes it and immediately scans the whole file. "Do you know them?"

"Not really. I'm only fascinated with their beauty, that's all." Without raising any further suspicion, Mila asked the manager a question. "Who are they, Aoi-chan?" The manager simply responds to her casually and shares the information in the file.

Mila goes over the text in detail. 'These might be from the black flash drive.' Each player's profile includes information on their position, training, tactics, and recent match videos are in there. Everything is overly detailed. However, there is one profile missing, and it's Arion Sherwind.

She is aware that, unless you have seen the Tempest Deity regularly during soccer matches, it is difficult to have precise information about them. Why give it easily to Raimon?

"Chto imenno ty planiruyesh', Arion? (What are you exactly planning, Arion?)"

Normal POV

The scorching sun beat down relentlessly on the soccer field as the Raimon soccer team pushed themselves through yet another grueling training session. Beads of sweat glistened on their foreheads, their muscles straining with every kick and sprint. On the sidelines, the three dedicated managers, Midori, Aoi, and Akane, diligently prepared cold drinks and refreshing towels for the exhausted players.

In the midst of this intense atmosphere, Mila skillfully captured the essence of their training. However, her mind drifted to thoughts of a certain enigmatic captain from the formidable Tempest Deity team. There was an undeniable intrigue surrounding him, and she couldn't help but be drawn into it.

Her thoughts took her back to a pivotal moment—a covert mission to place a flash drive in Raimon's club room. Executing her task swiftly and discreetly, she couldn't help but notice a trophy case tucked away in the corner of the room. Within its glass confines, a rich history of the Raimon Team was showcased, with photographs and gleaming trophies spanning across generations. Time being of the essence, Mila quickly snapped a photo of the trophy case before slipping away.

That night, upon returning home, Mila received an email from her senior in the news writing club. Her next assignment is with Raimon Soccer Club, and it also comes with a file. It coincided perfectly with her growing fascination for the team and her desire to unravel the mystery surrounding Arion.

Eagerly, Mila opened her laptop, anticipation bubbling within her. The screen flickered to life, quickly opened the file in her email.

It contained a file brimming with information about the members of the Raimon Soccer Club. Her eyes meticulously scanned through the details, hoping to find some clue about Arion's connection to Raimon. However, the information proved elusive, and frustration began to creep in.

Suddenly, a memory surged forth—the image she had captured in the club room. Mila instinctively reached for her phone, scrolling through the gallery until she found the picture she sought. With the renewed discovery, she returned to her laptop, eager to uncover the truth.

The tapping of the keyboard filled the room as Mila delved deeper into her research. Minutes turned into hours as she pieced together the puzzle, connecting the dots between Arion and Raimon. Her heart raced with anticipation as she made a startling discovery.
