Chapter 7
Vinny start's riding to the destination that ??? and him talked about. After arriving in the place, we see a ramen stall near the street or called yatai -which refers to a mobile food stall- we then see a boy standing near it and looking through he's phone.
(English)(Vinny)
"Sorry I'm late, Eun-woo Park"
(English)(Eun)
"What's with the full name basis?"
(English)(Vinny)
"Nothing just for the people reading this…"
(English)(Eun)
"wut?"
(English)(Vinny)
"Never mind, anyways what are you doing here in Japan in the first place?"
(English)(Eun)
"Looking for you of course, my ex-rival!!"
(English)(Vinny)
"100% gae"
(English)(Eun)
"WHAT!!? Anyways I'm here because of the street race you are joining"
(English)(Vinny)
"This will be a long talk, why not grab some ramen we are already here so?"
(English)(Eun)
"Gladly my treat this time"
(English)(Vinny)
"Nice, I will take the big one and a large soft drink"
(English)(Eun)
(I may regret saying that)
The two rival then proceed on eating some hot ramen while talking about the race stating that Eun wants to join in Vinny's crew to experience racing with Vinny not as enemy but as a partner that can keep up with him. We then go with Ren and Hikari in a bus that is closing in Vinny's destination.
(Japanese)(Ren)
"I am getting nervous about this; they might start fighting!!"
(Japanese)(Hikari)
"Calm down your ass babe, it's rare for Eun to invite us all, if he's really wanted to start a fight it must be in Korea. You already know what Vinny's capable of not just in cycling but a daily or whatever it is. You can say Vinny is gifted with an ability just like ???"
(Japanese)(Ren)
"Yeah, yeah I know but I can't remove the feeling of worried"
The bus come's to stop, Ren and Hikari start to look for Vinny. They look everywhere near the place Eun told them. While looking Ren decided to call Vinny to know where they are and stop at a corner. Ren starts calling Vinny through the phone, after a while Vinny pick up the phone
(Japanese)(Ren)
/Where are you right now bro!?
(Japanese)(Vinny)
/Can you not shout through the phone? And why do you ask?
(Japanese)(Ren)
/Because I've heard the Eun was with you!!
(Japanese)(Vinny)
/Oh so Eun also invited you, well I am hear at a ramen stall at ???
(Japanese)(Ren)
/Wait this ramen stall here!?
(Japanese)(Vinny)
/*looks outside* yep
(Japanese)(Vinny)
"Your already here and Hikari too and why do you keep shouting!?"
(Japanese)(Hikari)
"don't worry about him he's just a worry cat that can't stop worrying about he's owner~"
(Japanese)(Ren)
"Excuse me no one's owns me!!"
Hikari looks at Ren like stating that "I own you tho~" and Ren blush from the stare that he got from Hikari, Hikari then giggles a little.
(Japanese)(Vinny)
"Okay, okay you two stop flirting Infront of my single ass face and come on let's just eat some ramen and have a chat with our guest from Korea"
Vinny then proceed to go have a sit and continue eating with Eun, while Ren and Hikari also look for a chair to seat, while looking they see Vinny devouring 3 large bowls of ramen and Eun crying
(English)(Hikari)
"let me guess you told Vinny that you will treat him for a meal aren't you? ~"
(English)(Ren)
"Now I feel bad for you. Latom"
(English)(Eun)
"Can you two love birds shut up and stop pitying me will you!?" *Cries silently*
When the four of them started eating all together they start talking to each other, Eun told Ren and Hikari that he wants to join Vinny's crew and start racing with him. This information shock both of them, well mostly Ren.
(English)(Hikari)
"What do you say about this leader, do you approve? ~"
(English)(Vinny)
"Yeah, why not, I also would like to race with him again after all"
(English)(Hikari)
"Then it is settled, welcome to the team Eun"
(English)(Eun)
"Yeah thanks"
(English)(Vinny)
"By the way my father calls me earlier before Eun every call me, he says that I will be handling he's small café business, I will be starting next week"
(English)(Ren)
"Looks like I will not be the only one handling family business now huh?"
(English)(Vinny)
"Looks like it"
(English)(Eun)
"Are you guys free this Saturday; I would love for you guys to show me around"
(English)(Hikari)
"Sure thing~ how about you two?"
(English)(Vinny)
"Fine by me"
(English)(Ren)
"Me too"
(English)(Eun)
"I will be going to school here too; I think the name of the school is ???"
(English)(Vinny)
"…You got to be kidding me… That's my school idiot"
(English)(Eun)
"Really!? Lucky me then HAHA!"
(English)(Vinny)
"Ahhh your loud"
The four continue chatting and eating under a bright moon while the breeze are chill and the surroundings are quiet.
(Japanese)(Stall Owner)
(Ahh to be young again must be nice hahaha)
(Japanese)(Stall Owner)
"Here you guys go have some extra drinks and ramen it's on me!!"
(Japanese)(Ren)
"Wow, that old man!!"
(Japanese)(Vinny)
"Appreciate it"
(Japanese)(Hikari)
"Thank you kindly~"
(Japanese)(Eun)
"Thank you for the meal!!"
The four of them have fun while they were eating and chatting but who is Eun-woo Park you may ask. He was one of the fastest sprinters in par with some legendary sprinter know to man, not only that but he's cycling skills are also good, like cornering and maneuvering, he also has a skill that he can make he's sprinting or should all of us know is the pedaling more effective and faster than the average pedaling. He can pedal like crazy and not get tired that quickly people on the Korea call him "The Human Race Car" for he's unbelievable stamina and speed.
I should also explain what Vinny can do or the talent that Hikari mention earlier. The talent that Vinny can do is to read, predict, and partially copy another rider's movement by analyzing their posture, micro-motions, and body tension. This is not only applicable in the race but in he's daily activities and this is also the reason why Ren is worried not for Vinny but for Eun because with only a glance Vinny can change the table and beat Eun with ease.
I will explain also what Ren are capable of. Ren are the master of the climbing, becomes overwhelmingly strong when the road tilts upward. Not just because of power but because his entire riding style is optimized for climbing. Ren is the crew's climber back in the days where Vinny and Ren were in their former team.
As for Hikari is like Vinny's but slightly different, Hikari does not ride but she analyzes the game and riders who are in the race. She reads them like a book and analyze them and create a plan for the team. More like Hikari is the teams' brain, with her analyzing skills she led the former team to many victories.
