Chapter 3 – The King of FF’s
April 21st, Kyoto-Gion, 9:53 AM
After Ryou told Aiko what happened, she was amazed of what Lightweight cars can do in Street Racing.
"That sounds like fun, I want to street race!"
Ryou was amazed by what she just said. He almost spit out his water when he heard that. A young 16 – Year old girl racing was impressive to him.
"Are you sure, you’re just a young girl. Do you really think you should be street racing?"
"I want to race with people. Like you."
"(Oh yeah, “Big-Brothers” are supposed to set examples for younger siblings) Okay. You can street race, just tune up that Autozam, it’s slow."
"But, I don’t have the money…"
"Eh?" Then maybe we can find you a job."
Ryou grabbed out the morning newspaper and began scanning.
"Jobs are boring though."
"Ah."
Ryou put away the news paper and grabbed out Autorace©, a daily newspaper about racing events.
"There, I found something, but it’s long. It’s an un-tuned Kei car race at Tsukuba circuit. 1st place prize is 17,291,276 Yen (210,000 USD)."
"Sounds good. I guess I’ll do that."
"Okay, go get dressed out of your pajamas, I’ll take you to the train so you can go to Ibaraki and sign up. If we get to the train around 9 AM, you’ll be at Tsukuba around 3:00 PM"
"Thanks, you’re the best!"
"The best. She's a great young girl."
After Aiko got dressed, they got in the MIRA, and quickly got going.
Meanwhile 11 miles away from their home
"Okay, so how am I going to get my car over there, I’m riding on a train."
”Kenshin’s brother owns a Tow Truck. I’ll ask Ryou if his brother doesn’t mind towing a car all the way to Ibaraki.”
"Okay"
After Ryou listened to Aiko, they had reached a stoplight.
"EG6. . ."
"Huh?"
"A Matte Black EG6. I know I've seen it before.
Oh,that black car
"Yes"
It's a Civic, not an EG6"
"I know. EG6 is part of its chassis number. Some people call cars by part of their chassis number. You can call it a “Nick-name”. Anyway, I’ve seen this car before; I think when my first battle ended."
"Okay. That car has a sticker saying “King of FF’s”, by the way."
"King of FF's? Hmm..."
They then got to the Train Station, just 5 minutes before the train leaves. Ryou was still thinking about the EG6. Wondering why they call it's driver "King of FF's"
"We're here"
"Okay. Thanks"
"Don't go yet! Take this
Ryou handed Aiko some Yen.
"This is to buy the train ticket. After buying the ticket, make sure you have some money left. When you get to Ibaraki, ask for Hayate. Pay him some Yen, and he'll take you to the hotel. Buy your room key. Then make sure you have enough to order room service, as you will stay there 2 days. Please stay safe"
"All passengers boarding the train to Tsukuba, Ibaraki, please come now..."
"I better go now, bye!"
"Bye..."
Ryou was kind of sad seeing Aiko leave. He almost started to feel nervous.
"Nah, she'll be okay. I hope
."
*Phone Rings*
"Hello?"
"Hey, Ryou"
"Ah, Kenshin"
"I just wanted to tell you that last night I gave another street racer my phone number."
"What?!I didn't need to know that, you know."
"The thing is, he called me back. He asked me if he and his team could race you sometime." They call him "King of FF's"."
Hmm?! I saw his Civic earlier. What's his team name anyway?
"Team FFast"
"Knew their team name would be something like that. So, did your brother get the Autozam?"
"Yeah. He just got it. Heading to the hotel now."
"Okay. So, there is a Super GT race going on in Tokyo. Want to go have some breakfast tomorrow morning and watch it?"
"Sounds nice. We'll see how professionals race"
"We should start heading out now. Tokyo is about 6 hours away.
"Okay. I'll meet you at a parking lot there.
Ryou grabbed everything and headed out for Tokyo, to see Kenshin. He took a quick, and scenic route. Once he got to Tokyo, he found the parking lot, where he met Kenshin.
"It's 5:45 PM, what do you say we grab some Sushi later?"
"Okay"
They grabbed there Sushi and headed out to bed in a hotel to get a good nights sleep.
Next Morning
The Super GT race has started, and as Ryou said, they should be sitting at the window eating breakfast. Sort of like a breakfast theater is what he thought.
"Countdown has started!"
It was just a mini Super GT race, but they still wanted to enjoy it
"The Supra and the NSX really stand out from the other red cars" Said Ryou, as the cars passed by the restaurant
One of the red Z's had then got in first
The Z had gotten quite a far distance away from the NSX.
It was then the second lap and the same Z still had the lead
Then the Supra and the NSX were left behind
A guy suddenly appeared behind Ryou.
"Who are you?"
"I am Ren Yasuda. You can call me King of FF's."
Ryou was suprised, and Kenshin could see by Ryou's look.
'I know you, Ryou Takishida, are the driver of the Blue Devil MIRA. No-one else deserves such a great FF than me!"
'Okay... And?"
"My team and I want to race you tonight at Osaka, our home. If I win, I get your precious MIRA, if you win, you win my EG6. Deal?"
"Okay"
"Are you sure about this?" Kenshin whispered to Ryou as Ren walked away
"Don't worry. You can count on me"
The Super GT race was almost over, and the Supra in an impressive third place.
"I knew that Supra would win at least 3rd. Now let's head to Osaka, and deal with this bastard."
It took them around 7 hours to get there. They even had to pay quite a lot of tolls.
When they got there around 10 PM, they saw the guy with his team, FFast, there was a Matte Black EG6, a Black Integra Type R (DC2), a Black EK9, and a Black Scion bB.
"I see you came. This is my team FFast"
"Okay, so who am I racing first?"
"Arata! Get over here!"
An average looking guy in a white shirt and black jacket came toward.
"Hello. I'm Arata Yokokawa."
"Ryou Takishida"
"Now you two are going to race. Got that?"
"Yes"
Ryou took a look at Arata's car. It was the black Scion bB.
Scion bB Specs
Power: 326HP
Weight: 1003kg
Aerodynamics: None
Owner: Arata Yokokawa
They both got ready at the starting line.
Kenshin came over to Ryou's MIRA, and Ryou opened the window.
"Ryou, do your best. You can't lose your MIRA!
"I will"
The crowd began to get loud and Ryou closed the window.
Meanwhile in Ibaraki
"I won that race earlier. It's all thanks to Ryou. I should go home tomorrow morning and tell him! But, I have a feeling right now, that he's up to something, that can cost him something important. I hope whatever it is, he gets through it..."
Back at Osaka
"Five.. Four... Three....Two.....One......GO!
Both cars headed off.
"His Scion's acceleration is very close to my MIRA's."
"Let's not act like idiots in this race..."
"It actually looks like my acceleration is a tad faster"
Arata then passed Ryou as they entered the tunnel.
"Come on, nimbleness... Win this for me!"
"Eh, okay. Try me!"
"Faster. Faster."
"Damn, I let him get past easily. I'll go all out on the second lap. Let's just stay behind him on the first..."
"What the 🤬, is he slowing down, or just catching up and staying behind me?"
"Slowing down, it looks like. Did he give up already?"
"I shouldn't waste my energy just yet." Said Arata with a small laugh
"Maybe I should have a little fun"
Arata began to try to drift
"Oh, so you want to try to drift. I can do the same"
"That was a great drift for an FF"
"Eh, you're trying to speed up now?"
"I'm going to go 80% for now, but once lap two starts, I'm going all out!"
Come on, Scion, show me what you can do at 80%!"
Arata stepped on the gas some more and attempted to overtake Ryou from the outside
"Okay, do your best. If you can."
"Overtake, successful!"
"Don't give up MIRA!"
Ryou accelerated quickly, and he overtook Arata on the next corner
"Bastard"
They got to a sharp corner
"I messed up here last week. Let's not do it again!"
Ryou broke at the latest moment correctly, but he took advantage of his MIRA's nimbleness and didn't brake enough.
"Damn it! Wait, calm down, I can still win"
Ryou quickly swerved away, and he still had his lead maintained luckily
"Good thing I'm in the lead still"
"The second lap is near."
"He's catching up"
"What are you trying to do?!"
"🤬 I messed it up. Oh well
Arata slowed down a bit to avoid collision with the barrier
"Okay, I passed him."
"Time to get on his right side!"
"Lap two is here! Time to go all out!"
"Was he waiting for lap 2 to try to beat me the whole time?!
"
"You will lose now."
"Not if I can help it"
Ryou accelerated more
"Hmm..."
Arata quickly passed Ryou and tried to drift in the tunnel to block Ryou
"His little "Slide Show" is getting on my nerves!"
Without drifting, Ryou stayed on the inside to pass Arata
"That's how you want to play it? Alright then.
"Would he stop with that drifting?!"
"Again he stays on the inside and passes me?! No more drifting!"
"Time to catch back up."
"Hmm?"
"Overtook you again.
"No!"
Ryou made the same mistake as on the 1st lap, but this time he got closer to the rail
"Phew"
The Scion caught up, so this time Ryou pushed the accelerator all the way
"What the 🤬?!
"C'mon Scion, pass him!"
"Time to go all out, and finish!"
"You think you can get away that easily?!"
"Now, I'll go all out!"
"What the hell?!"
The MIRA blasted away from the Scion
"What was I beaten by?"

No matter how you tune it, a car that resembles a fridge is still a car that resembles a fridge. I'm referring to the Scion.Nice chapter, BTW.
Yep, I guess the refrigerator is actually running. Sliding too O.o

I laughed at "Aerodynamics: None" and "Come on, Scion, show me what you can do at 80%!", although I didn't really get this sentence...
I think "didn't brake enough" has a bit of bad vibes coming out of it, if it was something like "didn't brake too hard" has more good vibes coming out of it IMO. 👍
