Those simple words of Manager Haruki were enough to soothe some of his worries. And, for such reasons, he found solace in those simple words as he felt appreciated.
For a while, he kept staring deeply at Manager Haruki without uttering anything.
Then, without saying anything further, Manager Haruki turned to leave. Until the end, however, he still didn't look at him.
It seemed as if he was only present there to say those few words. Or it might be, that he's just bad at expressing himself. Who knows what it could be?
But, Taki didn't mind his attitude not in the least. Instead, his respect for the coach only grew. From this exchange, he got to know that even though the coach doesn't talk much, he's still looking at them.
