The so-called time flies, which is a bit exaggerated.

But three days passed really quickly.

In the period following the race between Iketani and Keisuke Takahashi, two things were circulating throughout the rider circle of Akinayama. First of all, Iketani, who played as a local driver, lost to Keisuke Takahashi in the second half. But no one blames him, after all, the Takahashi brothers' name has been around for a long time, and the opponent's car is an RX7.

Iketani has excellent popularity in this area, and no one thinks that he will be blamed for losing the game.

And the second thing, of course, is really new and even surprising.

Keisuke Takahashi, who had just won against Iketani, actually lost to an AE86 whose origin he didn't know. This incident touched the nerves of two groups of people, one side is the local rider led by Iketani, and the other is the RedSuns of Akagi.

Keisuke Takahashi was a little hesitant about losing to an unknown junior. Originally, in the Akagi RedSuns' battle plan, the territory of Mt. Akina has ended, and they have to challenge riders from other areas of Gunma Prefecture.

But because of the appearance of this 86, they had to stop their plans to conquer the whole county. It can be said that the existence of 86 has become a knot in Keisuke Takahashi's heart. And the members of RedSuns are near Mt. Akina, and they are asking for news about 86.

But what is strange is that this 86 seems to pop out of a crack in the stone, and there is no trace or origin at all.

And what about Shu Takeuchi?

In the past three days, he still has not given up the tempering in Akinayama. The state of this thing requires long-term persistence. He doesn't think he can be at his best all the time. And Tuohai's matter also reminded him!

A driver who wants to show his best strength. Car...... There is one more thing about people, which is related to winning and losing. That's the track!

The match with Takumi is defined by Takeuchi Shu as the interaction between the previous life and this life, which is a matter of time. And he, who knows his opponent, knows that Takumi has already remembered Akinayama to his heart.

And I can only be familiar.

The difference between the two is the detail of each section of the mountain road.

These days, Keiko often sends messages to herself.

There have been guilt, there have been entanglements.

But Takeuchi Xiu didn't reply to her, because he felt that some decisions were already in his heart, and his current state of mind was not suitable for falling in love at all. Perhaps he didn't restrain the loneliness he developed in the United States, which led to a wrong encounter.

And Keiko, who met because of this car.

It was also because of this car that this beautiful memory ended.

What she needs is a stable boyfriend, and what she needs is another self.

Takeuchi Shu sighed faintly, sitting in the driver's seat of EG6, he drove the car while looking at the air conditioning vent, the cute perfume bottle hanging from the air conditioner. It is the only mark left by Keiko in this car.

He drove at an even speed to the gas station where Ikeya and Ah Shu were.

Drive the car near the fuel gun, just in time for the car to refuel. Recently, he has been running very hard, and the car is full of hunger, which makes his already deflated pockets even more insufficient.

For Takeuchi Xiu, in the past, when he went to the supermarket to swipe his card, he never paid attention to how much everything costed. But now it's different, after settling the account, you will subconsciously sort out the unit price of these things.

The gas station received him, not Ah Shu, nor Iketani, but Takumi, the kid.

Seeing this eye-catching purple EG6, Takumi recognized it at a glance.

He is now wearing a gas station work uniform, a little less student-like, but still has a calm expression.

"Uncle, why are you here?" Like Ah Shu, he also calls himself 'uncle', which is really scary.

Wu Neixiu smiled and said, "Come to Ah Shu and them, come on by the way." By the way, what about them? ”

"Someone is looking for Iketani-senpai, and Ah Shu seems to be going to see the excitement......" Takumi straightened his hat and replied.

Watching the excitement?

Hearing Takumi's words, Takeuchi Shu was stunned, and then curious: "What's the excitement?" ”

"I don't know, it seems to have something to do with drag racing." Takumi said as he inserted the fuel gun into the EG6's fuel tank.

Wu Neixiu thought for a while, pulled out his car keys, got out of the car and handed it to him: "Takumi, help me refuel first, just add to the jump gun." Then help me move the car somewhere else, and I'll go over and see what's going on. ”

Takumi nodded, he looked at the figure of Takeuchi Shu walking away, and then glanced at the EG6 he had sat on last time.

When the oil gun jumped, he took the car keys that Takeuchi gave him and sat in the driver's seat of the car.

When he lit the fire and started the EG6, he suddenly felt a different feeling.

This car, it seems, there is something strange......

By the way, how did he know he could drive?

This kind of thing, even Ah Shu doesn't know.

Takumi parked the EG6 in the spare parking space of the gas station, pulled out the key, and admired the car with a strange look in his eyes.

......

When Takeuchi came to the rest area of the gas station, he saw some familiar faces.

Three members of RedSuns came, and the person who brought them with them was Keisuke Takahashi, who had broken blond hair and looked unruly.

Keisuke Takahashi is still the same, with an empty expression, dressed in casual clothes, and carrying a Casio sports watch on his wrist. The person in front of him is none other than Iketani, who lost to him in the previous game.

Iketani's face was solemn, as if he hadn't thought that Keisuke Takahashi, who had defeated him, would take the initiative to come to the door.

Ikeya is surrounded by colleagues and friends at the gas station, and Ah Shu is impressively listed, with a sense of déjà vu that he is ready to help. Although he is a head shorter than the people around him, this guy's chest is more straight than the others.

This stinky boy is not watching the excitement at all, but creating excitement.

Takeuchi Shu stood behind, did not make a sound, and did not walk over. Finding a chair to sit on, he was able to guess the purpose of Keisuke Takahashi's arrival.

Iketani asked the unpleasant man opposite, "What are you doing here?" ”

"I'm here to inquire about the whereabouts of the owner of 86." Keisuke Takahashi said slowly.

Iketani shook his head: "I don't know the guy you said. ”

Keisuke Takahashi smiled and stared into Ikeya's eyes: "That's fine." Once again, I challenge you local riders of Mt. Akina! ”

What the!?

Ikeya was stunned, and the companions around him, as well as Ah Shu, all had ugly faces. Is this guy trying to make things difficult for them? I've already lost to this guy once, and I still make such excessive demands.

Before Iketani got angry, Keisuke Takahashi said, "I don't have the patience to ask about the whereabouts of the 86 riders. I think that through you, he will definitely appear in Akinayama. It's set for tomorrow night, and I'm going to race against the best riders here in Akinayama! ”

"Bastard, what's the joke?" Ikeya clenched his fists and glared at Keisuke Takahashi.

It has never been heard of someone challenging a team in a row in a short period of time.

Keisuke Takahashi's voice was cold, and he continued: "This is the battle book of RedSuns, I came here to find you today, you should know very well, I'm not joking!" I'm going to clean up that guy who was making fun of me. ”

"I don't have any interest in you! I'm going to see that damn 86 at the foot of Mt. Akina tomorrow night! ”

Keisuke Takahashi's words embarrassed Iketani.

He gritted his teeth and held back his out-of-control emotions: "What if he doesn't show up? ”

The corners of Takahashi's mouth hooked, and he said contemptuously: "It can only show that this guy is not worth mentioning, and last time it was just a coincidence." Mt. Akina is no longer worth the effort we at RedSuns to stay here. Because here...... Only the defeated men! ”

After saying that, he ignored Iketani and left the rest area with the members of RedSuns.

Only Iketani, whose eyes were full of anger, and his companions who comforted him.

Ah Shu is also indignant, because anyone with a discerning eye can see that this is a naked provocation by Keisuke Takahashi! He wanted to pass through Iketani and force the 86 riders out.

But......

Pondani these people, really don't know who the so-called AE86 and the driver who won him are.

If no one takes on RedSuns again, it will be a disgrace disaster for the local riders of Akinayama.

Damn it! Iketani felt that his mood was low.

In the year he graduated from high school, he and his friends who played with cars around him created the first local team of Akinayama, Speedstars. Over the years, Speedstars has been proud of their achievements, but they have won many amateur riders and gained a certain reputation in the local area.

Suffice it to say, SpeedStars is Iketani's brainchild.

And Akinayama is the local track of Speedstars! There is a deepest sense of belonging and accomplishment here. The only thing in his life that can make him full of confidence is his identity as a team leader.

But in recent times, he first lost to Keisuke Takahashi. He will face a second challenge, and this battle, which is obviously already defeated, will not be able to fight again.

If the rider of 86 does not appear in Akinayama.

What to do?

SpeedStars is discredited and will become a joke in Gunma Prefecture.

Just when Iketani felt that his brain was blank, and the comfort of Ah Shu and his companions in his ears was buzzing.

A figure walked in front of him!

Ikeya, who was originally depressed, looked at him.

His eyes lit up.

The fist that was originally clenched slowly loosened.

"Ah Xiu." Iketani looked at him, there was surprise, there was surprise, there was an indescribable calmness.

Takeuchi smiled faintly, chewing gum in his mouth.

"I'll help you!"

In an instant, Iketani was shaken, and the hot warm current poured into his heart, and his skin was numb. The four clear words echoed in his ears, but his smile appeared in front of him.

And Ah Shu, who was standing on the side, originally wanted to say hello, why did his uncle come here!

But when he heard Takeuchi Shu say, 'I'll help you', his mouth opened wide all of a sudden.

How can it help?

Don't......

Ah Shu was dumbfounded.

"Good brother!" Iketani stepped forward, and the bear hugged Takeuchi Xiu, and said with a smile in his ear: "What bullshit 86, in my heart, you are the most powerful driver in Akinayama." ”

Takeuchi Shu smiled bitterly, hugged tightly by Iketani, there was no need for him to refute what he said.

But......

It's time too!

The first game.
