Chapter XXXVII

"Buy tofu?"

This is the first thing Fujihara said to himself.

Takeuchi Shu took advantage of the cluster of lights under the signboard to see him holding a cigarette, and the steaming mist dispersed into the air.

"No, just take a look." Takeuchi Shu reacted, looked at him and replied.

Fujihara didn't speak again, he stood outside his shop, blending into the night, like an ordinary middle-aged uncle.

Maybe others can't see through it, but they know the root and know that the man in front of him is, to some extent, the strongest existence in the world of initial D.

This is the true sense of the great god, which will give people pressure.

Takeuchi Xiu knew that he would be a little inexplicable when he was close to Takumi's father now. What's more, I really don't have anything to talk about with him except for 'tofu'.

Back inside the EG6.

Takeuchi Shu drove away, and as he walked, he looked into the rearview mirror.

What he saw was the extinguishing of the cigarette in his hand, and Fujihara looked at it with interest.

......

The next morning, I saw the date circled on the calendar.

Above is a sentence written by Takeuchi Shu with a marker.

"Akinayama, will you leave your name?"

For many people, this day is meaningless, repeating the daily workday. But for Takeuchi Hide, it was the first time in three years that he participated in the competition again and raced with others.

Countless days and nights have not extinguished this desire for competition!

Some people are born to compete, and this is the case with Shu Takeuchi. He wasn't very excited or nervous, but when he woke up, everything in his head was related to the game.

Ah Shu also got up very early, and what was incredible was that this guy actually bought a hearty breakfast.

In Japan, there are no soy milk fritters, they are all bread, rice balls, milk, etc.

Wu Neixiu saw a table full of food and Ah Shu, who was busy, and said strangely: "Why are you so kind?" ”

"You must rest well and eat well today...... to play well! Uncle, I'll go cheer you on for the night game! Ah Shu's appearance looked even more excited than Takeuchi Xiu.

Takeuchi Shu picked up a rice ball and took a bite, and replied vaguely, "Don't worry too much. ”

"How could you not care!" Ah Shu stared for a moment, and then said, "I had a dream last night that you won the competition, uncle. Akatani-senpai, they were all happy, and everyone hugged me......"

"Hug you?" Takeuchi Shu was a little speechless.

"Ah, you're my uncle, and I'm honored too!" Ah Shu blinked and looked at Takeuchi Shu who was eating.

Takeuchi Shu swallowed the rice grains in his mouth and said with a smile: "If the dream comes true, you have made breakfast this week, how about it?" ”

"Huh?" Ah Shu grinned, this uncle is really calculating.

"Uncle, if you want to win, I accept it."

Wu Neixiu was stunned, and this guy Ah Shu actually nodded. This is not the door-slamming guy I usually know. I thought this kid would change the law and refuse.

"I'd love to ......"

"The one who won Keisuke Takahashi and helped Ikeya-senpai take revenge."

"It's my uncle!"

Ah Shu looked at Takeuchi Xiu, his eyes revealing pride.

Wu Neixiu smiled and looked at Ah Shu: "Don't say such sensual words. Forget about breakfast, when I win, the two of us can let Ikeya treat us to a big meal. ”

......

After Ah Shu went to school, Takeuchi Shu glanced at the time. It's time for him to go out, too.

Today I made an appointment with Murakami, the owner of the repair factory.

Before the race, he decided to give the EG6 some testing and tweaking. This is a habit before each race, and it is not possible to be unlucky, the tire pressure is insufficient, or the oil and configuration of the body need to be replaced, resulting in frequent conditions during the race.

When he drove to the repair factory, Murakami went out to greet him.

After the last modification test, we didn't see each other again.

The two exchanged pleasantries, and Takeuchi Shu explained to him the details that needed to be checked and replaced.

"I'll be there to support you in today's game." Murakami arranged for Takeuchi to sit down on a chair in the rest area.

Takeuchi Xiu looked at him and wondered, "You're also interested in drag racing?" ”

Murakami's physiognomy looks very different from those young people who chase excitement.

He shook his head slightly and said with a smile, "If it were other people, like Iketani, I would definitely not be interested." But you're different...... Last time, I felt the beautiful drift technique. And this EG6 is something I modified here, so of course I want to see what kind of magic you do with it. ”

"Well, you're in the mood to watch the hilarity."

Takeuchi smiled and smiled.

......

Because during this time, continuous running on mountain roads, high-intensity cornering friction caused great wear and tear on the tires. Some of the tread patterns have been worn off, and he knows very well that the tire lines can improve the stability of the body and increase the grip of the roll when cornering.

Takeuchi Shu sighed, it seems that it will cost money again!

In fact, he was very envious of Takumi.

Only when he was reading the comics, he thought deeply about a question.

Gasoline, maintenance, modifications, replacement of consumables, all of which his father could afford.

Poor ghost, it's not an exaggeration to describe yourself now.

The only thing that can make you feel terrible right now is not Keisuke Takahashi.

It's whether the money in your bank card is enough to pay for the tires.

Murakami seemed to see Takeuchi Xiu's distress, and he smiled and said, "Ah Xiu, I don't have anything to help you." I'll help you change a set of tires. ”

"No, thank you." Wu Neixiu was stunned when he heard this, and quickly shook his head.

His cheeks are thick enough, but how can he accept people's kindness so easily.

"Ah Xiu, don't be busy refusing. Hear me finish. Murakami looked at Takeuchi's face and said slowly.

"I'm not young anymore, I had dreams of being a driver before I opened this workshop. But unfortunately, I don't have any talent, and I don't have the kind of perseverance that can be unwavering. At that time, I was very young and poor, and for me...... Giving up on my dream of being a driver doesn't make me sad or sad. Being able to repair a car and make money can make me very satisfied! ”

He looked into Takeuchi's eyes, and his smile slowly faded: "But that time I sat in your car, and I saw your dedication when driving, and I couldn't help but smile on your face......"

"I suddenly felt sad."

"Because I realized...... What have I lost? And what is lost can never be recovered. ”
