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

He won't just give in to a girl just because she's pretty. There are so many pretty girls...

But in the world, there is only one Fujiwara Takumi!

It is important for people to have self-awareness.

And Takumi is precisely the epitome of this kind of self-knowledge.

"Well...how about going to...the oceanarium...I haven't been to an oceanarium yet."

Nozawa Maki said.

"This... is fine."

"But Maki, we don't have an oceanarium in Gunma Prefecture. If you want to see one, you have to go to downtown Tokyo, which is quite far. You may not be able to return on the same day, so you have to stay there for a night."

Takumi reminded.

The key is not coming back.

This is also the main reason why Takumi agreed...

"Yeah, I...I know."

"I'll bring my ID."

Nozawa Maki said with a blushing face.

That’s decided.

"Meet at the school gate on Saturday morning. I'll drive to pick you up."

Takumi said.

"Uh-huh."

Nozawa Maki was very happy to see that Takumi did not refuse.

"Takumi-san!"

"Thank you!"

"Thank you for defeating Iwaki Seiji. It was a revenge for my brother and brought honor to the racers in Gunma Prefecture. I really like racing. It was a pity that I didn't see Takumi-san defeat Iwaki Seiji last night."

As she spoke, Nozawa Maki suddenly opened her arms, and in less than a second she was in Takumi's arms, then she quickly ran away with a blushing face.

Looking at Nozawa Maki's slender legs,

“It’s pretty good!”

At night, Takumi came to the gas station to work as usual. Now his days at the gas station have entered a countdown. Once the high-tech engine technology is available, he will devote all his efforts to the research and development of high-tech engines and will no longer stay at the gas station.

Gas station is a kind of complex.

But a complex can ultimately just be a complex.

"squeak--"

Takumi had just filled up a car with gas and put down the gas pump when a black EVO braked suddenly and stopped in front of him.

It's EVO3!

Sudo Kyoichi!

"boom!"

As soon as the car door opened, Sudo Kyoichi walked straight towards Fujiwara Takumi. Fujiwara Takumi could tell at a glance that this guy came to the Akina gas station for him, not just to refuel.

Kyoichi Sudo's leather shoes were brand new and shiny, and every step they took made a crisp sound.

Add to that the shiny leather shoes and the white towel on his head, and Kyoichi Sudo really knows how to do those fancy things.

"Ikeya-senpai!"

"Look, it's Sudo Kyoichi!"

When Takeuchi Itsuki saw EVO3 and Sudo Kyoichi, he quickly patted the shoulder of Iketani Koichiro, who was busy wiping the car and sweating profusely, and said.

"Oh my goodness!"

Koichiro Iketani had a calm expression on his face, but when he saw Kyoichi Sudo, he suddenly took two steps back. His exaggerated movements and eyes were so wide that they almost popped out of their sockets. It was obvious that he was shocked.

"Fujiwara Takumi, can you come to Akagi?"

Sudo Kyoichi asked Fujiwara Takumi.

Takeuchi Itsuki and Iketani Koichiro hid behind the car and observed secretly, not daring to come forward and say more.

Sudo Kyoichi is the boss of the Emperor team. Iwajo Seiji alone can turn Gunma Prefecture upside down, not to mention Sudo Kyoichi himself. Takeuchi Itsuki and Iketani Koichiro can even feel the powerful aura emanating from him, making them dare not breathe.

"Ok?"

Fujiwara Takumi frowned.

"Come to Akagi and have a match with me."

Sudo Kyoichi continued.

"What?!"

"Challenge 86?!"

When Takeuchi Itsuki heard this, he immediately screamed.

Kyoichi Sudo was not interested in minor characters like Takeuchi Itsuki and Iketani Koichiro and simply ignored them.

"How about, if you've decided, come to Akagi tomorrow night. Before my match with RedSuns' Takahashi Ryosuke, we can warm up first. Unlike the Akina you're familiar with, Akagi is a more challenging place."

Sudo Kyoichi said to Fujiwara Takumi.

"depend on mood."

Fujiwara Takumi answered, without giving an immediate response.

"Row."

"If you have thought it through, my EVO3 and I will be waiting for you tomorrow night."

Sudo Kyoichi showed no sign of surprise at Fujiwara Takumi's undecided answer. He got into the EVO3, stepped on the accelerator, and the car roared away. Sudo Kyoichi's purpose was clear - to declare war on Fujiwara Takumi!

At the same time, this is also to make up for the Emperor team's last failure and save face.

Tomorrow night, Kyoichi Sudo will have to deal with two people who have grudges against himself or the Emperor team in front of everyone.

Prove the strength of the Emperor team in front of the media.

"Takumi, don't go to Akagi."

After Sudo Kyoichi left, Iketani Koichiro said to Fujiwara Takumi.

"What's the point of talking about a preliminary match? To put it bluntly, they just want to vent their anger on Akagi by taking the Type 86," Kenji continued.

"Yep!"

"Hmph! Sudo Kyoichi has a good plan. Takumi has never run in Akagi, but their Emperor team has been around Akagi countless times in the past few days. If Takumi goes, the field conditions will be too unfavorable for the 86." Takeuchi Itsuki echoed repeatedly, completely agreeing with Iketani Koichiro's suggestion.

"We still have to compare."

"But I didn't agree to Sudo Kyoichi immediately because I wanted to make him feel uneasy for a whole day and make him feel uncomfortable." Fujiwara Takumi suddenly said.

How could he not participate in such a large-scale competition?

This is a great time to earn system points!

"We really want to compete?!"

"Takumi, are you sure you're not kidding?"

Takeuchi Itsuki was dumbfounded, and Iketani Koichiro and Kenji were also stunned.

Tachibana Yuichi, who had just walked over with a cigarette in his mouth, also looked confused.

"Cough, cough, cough!"

The cigarette burned his mouth, so Tachibana Yuichi quickly spat the butt on the ground and stomped it out.

Tachibana Yuichi is a man who loves to smoke.

The kind that you can't stop smoking...

There are thousands of addictions, and Tachibana Yuichi's addiction is smoking.

At this moment, Tachibana Yuichi looked a little embarrassed...

But no one cared about Tachibana Yuichi, everyone's attention was on Fujiwara Takumi.

"Don't go."

“We have to compete.”

Fujiwara Takumi shook his head and continued.

After saying that, Fujiwara Takumi went into the inner room to play with Mogi Natsuki.

In Akina, his newly modified engine has not been put to good use yet. I hope that in Akagi, Kyoichi Sudo can make his 86 perform well.

Masters are always lonely.

A lone man longing for a fight.

Since Takumi wants to go, let him go. He should have his own ideas and we will just go and support him then.

Looking at Fujiwara Takumi's back, Iketani Koichiro turned to Iketani Koichiro and Kenji and said.

"Ok!"

"Correct!"

Kenji and Takeuchi Itsuki nodded in agreement.

Tachibana Yuichi didn't say anything, his eyes were full of anticipation.

"86, tomorrow night we will compete with professional racers in Akagi."

After getting off work at the gas station, Fujiwara Takumi took Mogi Natsuki to a nearby hotel to spend the night.

It was destined to be another joyful night.

The second night came quickly.

Night falls.

On a mountain in Akagi, there were crowds of people, shoulder to shoulder.

"Come on! Ryosuke!"

"Takahashi Ryosuke, you must win!"

"Ahh! I saw Takahashi Ryosuke in person. Even though he's nowhere near as good as Fujiwara Takumi, he's still super handsome!"

Next to the guardrail at the top of Akagi Mountain, a group of girls were shouting wildly.
