On the 24th day of the season, Mizuki arrives at the Yokohama training ground. He has just returned from an injury that kept him out of the starting line-up for the first half of last season, but he's back to his old self. He's happy, he says, and he wants to send a message to Tsukamoto. Mizuki has a message for him, too, and it's this: "Don't worry, I'll send you a message right after you step on the field. I've got the message for you, and I want you to know that I'm sending it to someone who's going to laugh at all of your hard work and tell you that you're never going to make it in life. I don't care how hard you work, you'll always get what you want.
