Takeuchi held the car keys tightly and stood on the windowsill of the apartment. The drunkenness had long since dissipated, and consciousness was precipitated in the cold.

His face was horribly white, his gaze shifted, and his lips were a little chapped.

In my ears, in front of my eyes, there is silence.

It seems that everything came too suddenly. Suddenly, I felt guilty, cruel, and selfish.

A little flustered, but reasonable.

Because what you run away from must be faced in the end!

The key still had a residual temperature, and when he glanced through the glass, he saw Keiko, who had already left the place in a taxi. The moment she slumped down and got into the car, the EG6 on the street staggered with it, like a bleak picture under her own brush.

I put away the keys and poured myself a cup of hot water.

Takeuchi Shu took a sip, and the chill on his body dissipated. Ah Shu hasn't come back yet. In the small space, only oneself remains, looking at oneself.

......

When he woke up the next day, he slept on the couch in the living room.

The hair is messy and the smell on the body is terrible.

It should be that he couldn't resist the alcohol and sleepiness, so he didn't go back to the room and lay on the bed, and just dealt with it here for a night.

Ah Shu should have been back. He saw this kid, and he was kind enough to buy breakfast.

After taking a bath, he sat down at the dining table and enjoyed breakfast, Takeuchi Xiu's appetite was average, but he couldn't waste Ah Shu's heart. What's more, he is now very poor and has to think about how to treat every meal.

When you turn on your phone.

Found a lot of information. It should be said that it is a series of unread messages.

There is only one sender.

Keiko!

Last night's conversation, everything that happened, naturally it is impossible to forget it because it was overnight.

Takeuchi Shu was silent for a long time and clicked on the top message. It is to get yourself up the next morning and drink a little tea to relieve your hangover. There is tenderness and care between the lines.

But Takeuchi held back and didn't look through the messages one by one.

Instead, he found the address book and called Iketani.

Last night, it was Ah Shu who sent him home. This guy drank more than he did, and he was a little floaty when he walked. I don't know how.

"Ah Xiu." Iketani's voice came through the telephone receiver.

Takeuchi was stunned, thinking that this guy should have just gotten up, or was still sleeping. I didn't expect his voice to be so loud, not at all like a hangover, it sounded more energetic than himself.

Sure enough, the amount of alcohol was this thing, and Iketani didn't blow it. He was ashamed of this.

"You woke up so early." Takeuchi Shu remembered that Iketani was supposed to be in the afternoon class today, so it was very unscientific.

Iketani laughed on the phone and said, "You think I'm unconscious? Just kidding, I'm the one who drank our stationmaster to the hospitalized Koichiro Iketani! ”

The stationmaster in his mouth should be the owner of the gas station.

The sense of the picture suddenly appeared in front of Takeuchi Shu's eyes. This guy Iketani is really scary. I can't make an appointment with this guy in the future, and beer really can't kill him.

"That's right, Ah Xiu." Iketani seemed to have something in mind.

He said mysteriously on the phone: "You know that there is a ...... near Mt. Akina AE86? ”

AE86！

When Takeuchi Shu heard the name from Iketani's mouth, his heart jumped.

In an instant, he came to his senses.

Sure enough, his appearance did not change the direction of the big plot. Takumi Fujiwara, and his AE86, are about to show their prominence and appear on their own stage.

Iketani asked himself this because he already knew about his existence.

The most exciting content definitely happened last night. The 86 of the Tofu Workshop, the incident of the abuse of Keisuke Takahashi RX7. It is estimated that this matter will soon spread in the circle of riders in Gunma Prefecture.

"Have you forgotten that I just came here from the United States?" Takeuchi Shu calmed down and said to Iketani.

Iketani smiled awkwardly: "I'm really confused, I always feel like you're a local driver of our Akinayama, as if you've been by my side for a long time." ”

"What is the situation of 86 you are talking about?" Takeuchi Xiu pretended not to have heard of it and asked suspiciously.

Ikeya hurriedly organized the language and said in a colorful voice: "This morning, my teammates called me. It was said that a member of RedSuns approached them and asked if there was an AE86 in our local area. I don't know where this AE86 came from, but a very reassuring rumor is...... I heard that Keisuke Takahashi, that guy lost to the owner of this 86. ”

Takeuchi naturally knew that all this was not a rumor, but a fact.

Listening to the joy of Iketani's words, it was obvious that Takumi's victory made him feel very relieved. Keisuke Takahashi had just dismissed the face of a local driver in Akinayama, and the next second he was picked up by 86, who didn't know his identity.

makes Ikeya feel that this kind of coincidence is like God specially arranged a person to extinguish Keisuke Takahashi's arrogance. In the vicinity of Mt. Akina, people who can have such skills, he thought about it for a while, and the only one who is talking on the phone is Takeuchi Shu now.

But apparently unlikely.

Because he knew that Takeuchi Shu only owned an EG6, it was impossible to get an AE86 on purpose, and they had dinner and drinks together last night.

"What do you think?" After listening to his words, Takeuchi Shu asked rhetorically.

Iketani laughed, "The members of RedSuns are working hard to find the owner of this 86. We're the same, but they're looking for revenge, and I'm interested in what kind of guy is going to win against Keisuke Takahashi. I fought against him, and Keisuke Takahashi's strength was stronger than I thought, so being able to win Keisuke Takahashi was definitely not an idle person. ”

Listening to Iketani's voice on the phone, Takeuchi Shu's mind reflected the image of Takumi.

He shouldn't have imagined that this 86 driver was working with Ah Shu at his gas station, right?

"Ah Xiu, I think the drivers of 86 are the same as you." Iketani said suddenly.

Well?

He asked Iketani strangely, "What do you mean?" ”

"You are all great gods who suddenly descended on Mt. Akina. I wouldn't have believed that someone else's technology could shock me. "Iketani didn't witness the 86 overtaking with his own eyes.

But in contrast, he really felt the driving skills of Takeuchi Xiu. In his opinion, this kind of talent is the real god level. Inconspicuous, low-key to the point that no one recognizes their existence.

The two talked about some trivial things again, and this guy turned against each other and kept praising Keiko for her beauty.

After Takeuchi Shu hung up the call with Iketani, he walked straight to the window.

Looking down at where EG6 was docked, his mind was full of thoughts.

He can imagine the indescribable frustration of Keisuke Takahashi, who is arrogant, after Akinayama was dumped by Takumi's 86. He has debuted in Akagi for many years, and he is a well-known driver in the circle of Gunma Prefecture.

So on top of Mt. Akina, a real battle was derived!
