Chapter 40: Coming

When this idea popped up, even Takumi himself felt strange.

In his life, apart from going to school and going to the gas station part-time, and helping the family deliver goods at night, there is really nothing new that can arouse his interest.

And this time the feeling is very strong, as if a sample has been robbed of something that belongs to you.

When he came to this Akina Mountain, which usually delivers goods and passes by every day, he found that at the foot of this remote mountain, where few people pass by, there were so many people coming to watch the excitement.

Is drag racing really so attractive?

Takumi looked around and saw that everyone was talking about the 86 drivers. And the focus of their mouths is themselves. There was an indescribable excitement and pleasure that came over me.

Suddenly, he regretted it for no reason.

I should take the initiative to stand up, and today's protagonist should be myself.

"Uncle hasn't arrived yet." Ah Shu said to Takumi with a sad face. He was no longer in the mood to ask Takumi about this kid, and suddenly ran over to see what was going on.

Takumi nodded.

He knew that Takeuchi Shu would definitely appear. Because of that agreement, he can feel that he values this game very much, and it is absolutely impossible to miss it for no reason.

Takeshi Nakazato, the Takahashi brothers, and some drivers who can't be named, but often show their faces. Iketani's gaze swept over the people who were watching the game, and it was probably the liveliest night in Akinayama.

The lively atmosphere made it difficult for him to get out of the anxiety of Takeuchi Xiu's delay.

His eyes kept glancing in the direction of Mt. Akina, hoping that the man would appear.

Maybe only his appearance can make his heart steady.

The speedstars members around Iketani also seemed to notice the change in time, and they looked at Iketani, and the young man he knew most well coughed lightly: "There are still ten minutes left, will that 86 come?" ”

"Wait." Ikeya was a little impatient.

I called Takeuchi Shu many times, but I didn't get through.

Takumi and Ah Shu saw that these drivers who came to watch the race put complicated eyes on them, as if with some doubts and doubts.

......

The RedSuns preparations are over, the RX7 is in the best possible condition, the tire pressure is tested, and the parts are checked by the professional members of the team.

Keisuke Takahashi looked relaxed, standing with his brother, leaning against the railing, admiring the scenery of Mt. Akina.

"Nakazato Yi, that guy is here too." Keisuke Takahashi's gaze began to notice that Gunma Prefecture's next target, Nakazato Takeshi, actually came to Akina from Myoyoshi.

Ryosuke Takahashi held a can of coffee in his hand, and he said softly as he snorted, "He should have guessed that if this battle is over, the next challenge of our RedSuns should be Miaoyi." And there have been a lot of rumors about 86 recently, and it seems that I want to confirm it. ”

"Heh, soon these guys will know that I lost the last time, and it was just a mistake." Keisuke Takahashi was haunted, and whenever he recalled the frustration of the AE86 in the night, leaving only the light of the taillights.

"Keisuke, remember my words, pay attention to every game." Ryosuke Takahashi lightly persuaded his younger brother.

Keisuke Takahashi couldn't listen to others, but his eldest brother's words were very convincing. nodded obediently: "Don't worry, I won't ruin my reputation in this kind of place." ”

"Remember our plan and can't make every mistake. Gunma Prefecture is only a small area, and the real big picture is yet to come. Ryosuke Takahashi put down the empty coffee can, his gaze like substance.

Keisuke Takahashi let out an "um", then glanced at the watch on his wrist.

"Damn, what is this guy putting up a fight, and he hasn't shown up yet? There are only five minutes left. Are you afraid to fight? ”

Keisuke Takahashi looked at the hands of his watch, which was about to reach the hour, and the agreed time, he was a little annoyed.

Ryosuke Takahashi, who was beside him, didn't speak, and he looked at the area where Akina's local rider Speedstars was.

Seems to be eager.

It seems that the drivers of 86 really don't know them?

"Wait patiently." Ryosuke Takahashi said lightly. He had a hunch that that person would appear.

If it's really like what his brother described.

It's going to be a terrible driver!

It's not that this rider doesn't have fame, it's that he doesn't need fame.

......

The last five minutes were torment for Iketani.

He didn't have time to take care of Murakami, who appeared in their team during this time.

Ah Shu and Takumi couldn't help much, and everyone felt the ridicule and indifference from the eyes around them in every minute and second.

What the?

Why haven't you come yet! Do you want to come for nothing? Akina's guy is scared?

It's a common idea that everyone who comes here to watch the race is on the same page.

"Iketani-senpai, if my uncle doesn't come, how will it end?" Ah Shu asked tentatively, he knew Iketani's mood right now.

Iketani's eyes were solemn, and his voice sank: "Wait, I know, he will definitely appear!" ”

As if to compliment his words, in the distance, there was a roar.

Ah Shu, Takumi, Murakami, and the members of Speedstars were all shocked, and with surprise and anticipation, they looked in the direction of Akinayama.

Woo!!!

The low sound stimulates the eardrums, from far to near, as if the distant night is constantly approaching.

It's the sound of a sports car!

Professional drivers, with very bright ears, can instantly distinguish the engine roar of a normal car from a sports car.

Takeshi Nakazato, who had been putting on a stinky face and came to watch the game with R32, turned around to look.

In the RedSuns lineup, the Takahashi brothers are looking into the distance.

All the riders who came to watch the race straightened their nerves.

Because the sound is diverging, approaching, converging!

Lamplight......

Iketani's eyelids jumped, and the tingling sensation hit his body, which was a kind of excitement.

There's a mood that is about to come out! This bastard, this composing guy, he's finally here.

Ah Shu was excited, he was his uncle, for sure.

Takumi and Murakami's reactions were much calmer, but they couldn't hide the anticipation in the depths of their eyes.

The lights are like a curtain sprinkled over!

The high beams and low beams are staggered, reflecting the blank space of the night.

Until the sound of the engine that resounded through the valley, like the roar of a monster, woke everything here.

The light sprinkled on Iketani's face.

He saw the colors coming at high speed.

It's purple!

It is a flame of victory full of hope!

Burning, steaming, melting away disappointment and anxiety in an instant.
