I run a tofu shop, and you want me to go to Akina Mountain?

Meanwhile, in the RedSuns team, the Takahashi brothers and two other team members were leisurely enjoying coffee in a cafe.

"Myogi NIGHTKIDS's Nakazato Takeshi seems to want to challenge 86, what do you think?" Takahashi Ryosuke calmly took a sip of coffee and said leisurely.

"I know Nakazato Takeshi. We were high school classmates. He is invincible in Myogi NIGHTKIDS. No one can beat him." said a team member.

"Hahaha!"

"Nakazato Takeshi, with that 32, a guy with crude skills, he wants to beat 86, it's impossible."

Takahashi Keisuke looked on with disdain.

In Keisuke Takahashi's eyes, Takumi Fujiwara who drives the 86 is simply a devil!

No one can defeat 86 except his brother Ryosuke Takahashi.

"Keisuke, the reason why Nakazato Takeshi can become the captain of the Myogi NIGHTKIDS team is not just because of the speed of his 32 bike. Don't underestimate him." Takahashi Ryosuke corrected Keisuke Takahashi's thoughts while sipping his coffee.

"Keisuke, your old habit of looking down on others has come back again, haha."

A RedSuns teammate laughed.

"Ryosuke, since we know that Nakazato Takeshi is going to challenge 86, why don't we also take some action to find Akina's 86 first and challenge him? If the Myogi NIGHTKIDS team gets the upper hand, Nakazato Takeshi and the others may surpass us in reputation in Gunma Prefecture." A RedSuns team member said with some concern.

"whispering sound."

"Except for my eldest brother, no one in Gunma Prefecture can match Akina 86's downhill skills. Nakazato Takeshi doesn't have to worry at all."

Takahashi Keisuke said nonchalantly.

This time, Takahashi Ryosuke did not refute Keisuke. Instead, he narrowed his eyes, smiled, and took a sip of coffee, appearing very confident.

"Keisuke, I found out why you lost to 86 last night at Akina Mountain."

“Sometimes, having too much horsepower in a car can be a disadvantage. The FD is great in a straight line, but it affects the stability of the car in corners. It’s like a double-edged sword.”

"As for the 86, it can go at full speed even when cornering. Although the model is old, it is very stable. On a track like Akina Mountain with many bends and short straight lines, the 86 driving at full speed has more advantages than the FD. Of course, we cannot deny that the driver of the 86 has good skills." Takahashi Ryosuke patted Keisuke on the shoulder and said seriously.

"Brother, according to your analysis, if we race against 86 on a different track, I will be the winner, right?!"

Takahashi Keisuke asked excitedly.

"Yes."

Takahashi Ryosuke nodded.

If Fujiwara Takumi heard the conversation between the Takahashi brothers, he would definitely find it quite funny...

It's just like an ant trying to guess what an elephant is thinking.

……

Fujiwara Takumi doesn't care how many people are talking about him behind his back. He is now living a very comfortable life in school.

Sleeping in class.

After class, I went to find Natsuki Mogi and went to the rooftop to hang out together.

What a wonderful day...

After school, Fujiwara Takumi and Mogi Natsuki went to work at a gas station together.

"A visitor is coming."

Tachibana Yuichi said to Fujiwara Takumi, Mogi Natsuki, Iketani Koichiro, and Takeuchi Itsuki.

"I go."

Takeuchi Shu shrank his neck and immediately went out to refuel the car.

Now he is like a little follower...

Fujiwara Takumi has gone from being a friend to a super idol in his heart.

"Wow! Black 32!"

“Nissan Skyline R32 GT-R, awesome!”

When Takeuchi Itsuki saw a 32 sports car approaching, he couldn't help but sigh.

What Takeuchi Itsuki wanted to buy most was not the S13, but this 32.

Like a black warrior.

"NIGHTKIDS!" Takeuchi Itsuki was surprised when he saw the English characters on the door of car 32.

Of course he knew the team.

A team as famous as RedSuns!

"Bang!"

The car door opened and Nakazato Takeshi walked out.

"Hello, I'm Nakazato. I heard that we can contact the Akina Mountain SpeedStars team here. The one driving the 86 should be connected to your Akina gas station. Please tell me when the AE86 will appear in Akina Mountain." After seeing Takeuchi Itsuki, Nakazato Tsuyoshi asked very formally while asking him to refuel 32 with his chest held high.

"This one……"

Takeuchi Itsuki's mind went blank.

Nakazato...

It must be Nakazato Takeshi!

What’s going on recently? I’ve met the Takahashi brothers and Nakazato Takeshi one after another. They are superstars in the racing world!

"how?"

"Don't you understand what I'm saying?"

"Aren't you from the SpeedStars team?" Nakazato Takeshi asked when he saw Takeuchi Itsuki standing in a daze.

SpeedStars?

When Takeuchi Itsuki heard this, he suddenly felt secretly delighted.

SpeedStars is the team he has always wanted to join, and Koichiro Iketani is also a senior that Takeuchi Itsuki has always respected.

"It seems I've come to the wrong place."

Seeing that the car was full of gas, Nakazato Takeshi opened the door and prepared to leave.

"and many more!"

"Yes, I am from the SpeedStars team, hahaha!" Takeuchi Tree laughed. Speaking of this, he couldn't help but blush. At this moment, Takeuchi Tree was purely vain. In fact, he has not joined SpeedStars yet...

"Also... that 86 and I are friends and classmates."

Takeuchi Itsuki stood up straight and adjusted his hat.

"real!?"

Nakazato Takeshi stopped.

"Of course it's true. 86 and I are known as the duo of Akina downhill heroes. Of course... 86's technique is a little bit better than mine..." Takeuchi Itsuki said.

There were a few gas station staff nearby, and although they saw the truth, they were too lazy to expose it.

They thought, Takeuchi Itsuki is starting to brag...

"Well, this Saturday at 86pm, I'll be waiting at Akina Mountain to compete with ."

"boom!"

After saying that, Nakazato Takeshi stepped on the accelerator and drove away.

Only Takeuchi Itsuki was left with a confused look on his face.

"I...I haven't finished bragging yet..." Takeuchi Itsuki was still not satisfied.

It's rare to hear Takeuchi Itsuki bragging for so long...

"Uh... ahem, Takumi, this Saturday night, are you... are you interested in going to Akina Mountain..." Takeuchi Itsuki had been holding it in for the whole day, and finally plucked up the courage when he got off work. He mentioned Nakazato Takeshi's challenge to Fujiwara Takumi with a flattering face.

"Not interested in."

Fujiwara Takumi shook his head slightly.

Takeuchi Itsuki's freckled face, thick lips, and winking expression are simply too magical...

"what?"

"Why...why don't you want to go...it would be so nice to go for a drive in Akina Mountain on Saturday night." Takeuchi Shu was stunned for a moment and immediately asked.

"Dude, I'm too lazy to go all the way to Akina Mountain unless I have something to do."

After saying this, Fujiwara Takumi put his hands in his pockets, left the gas station and walked straight home.

Takeuchi Itsuki was left alone, disheveled in the wind.

"Oh, what should I do..."

"If I had known earlier, I wouldn't have boasted to Nakazato Takeshi. Now I've gotten myself into trouble..." Takeuchi Itsuki looked worried.

His face, which was already dotted with freckles, was now so expressive that the freckles seemed to be crowded out.

A few freckles on other people's faces are obvious, but on Takeuchi Itsuki's face, it's as if they are invisible, and no one can notice them...

The next day after school, Takeuchi Itsuki returned to the gas station.

"Squeak..."

As soon as Takeuchi Itsuki changed into his work clothes, Kenji suddenly braked his racing car and stopped next to the gas station.

"Ikeda! Ikeda!"

"Did you agree to the exchange competition with the Myogisan NIGHTKIDS team?" After getting off the car, Kenji hurriedly found Koichiro Iketani and asked seriously.

Jian Er was sweating profusely.

When Takeuchi Itsuki heard this, his face turned pale instantly.

"Ok?"

Koichiro Iketani frowned, completely confused.

"Ikeya, why don't you discuss such a big matter with other people in the Speedstars team?" Kenji seemed very dissatisfied, and there was even a hint of blame in his tone.

"what are you talking about?"

“I don’t understand any of it.”

Iketani Koichiro asked with a confused look on his face.

Fujiwara Takumi on the side was also confused, but the general idea seemed to be that another car race was going to be held!
