Authors' Comments
The depiction of "Changing Time" in this volume was done by referencing Master Hakushu Togetsuan's performance. I hope that you get the chance to compare the version in this volume with the real thing. Please enjoy volume 9.
It's volume 9 at last! Nine is the number of my favorite soccer player, Filippo Inzaghi. I've always hoped that in my next life I'll be reborn in Piacenza, Italy, and score goals while narrowly avoiding offside-calls. But in this life. I'm a mangaka, so I'm doing my best to draw this manga.

Trivia
