It began like any other day, board games with Koizumi. Mikuru in her nurse outfit, and Yuki reading another book. These times I truly enjoyed, but in the back of my head I knew that lurking beneath the shadows someone would---
"EVERYONE! Some foreign team has appeared to challenge us! To think! Challenging the SOS-DAN! Well, it doesn't matter if they're racers or ricers or whatever, anyone that challenges us will be DEFEATED!"
"Haruhi, what's all this about a challenge? Let me see that paper..."
"Kyon! Isn't it normal for a recipient of a challenge to answer back!?"
"This is a challenge from Project.D to all the racers of Hyogo-ken. Haruhi, we don't even have a car! We don't even have anyone who's the legal age to drive!"
"Kyon, can you stop nitpicking for one second? I have a feeling that things will work out one way or another, don't they always?"
"That's not the point!" I began to wonder if this time, we'd really make it out alive. I mean, none of us have ever driven...
"Um...I know how to drive." Mikuru shyly raised her hand. Even though she knew that she was volunteering to be in a race against PROFESSIONAL street racers, she still raised her cute little hand.
"This seems to be an interesting turn of events. I seem to have some acquaintances that can help with the procurement of parts." Koizumi added, with that cheshire grin on his face.
"I'd like to show you my car, everyone. Please follow me." Mikuru then led us into the student parking lot. It was then I began to wonder, just who is Mikuru really? She somehow seems more prone to crying in front of a police officer writing her up for a ticket.
"Wow! This car looks fast! It's an Integra Type-R, Kouki Model!"
"Just how do you know that, Haruhi?"
"I joined the auto club a while back. Just because I'm a girl doesn't mean I can't have varied interests, Kyon."
Just maybe...our brigade stands a chance against this Project.D. Why me?
To be continued...
