147
Kyo's usual clipped tone had taken on an unexpectedly warm timbre. Her tummy did a flip.
She wanted to know - no, hear - more.
"How fast was Speed-dono, exactly?" Yuya prompted.
He gave her questioning look.
"If you are asking what exceptional attribute had us competing over a snail, the answer is: none. It was never about Speed-dono. Kyoshiro just wanted whatever I had."
His statement carried no bitterness, but she felt Kyoshiro deserved representation.
"I doubt he was being malicious. I bet you were his idol."
Kyo scoffed.
"We were boyhood friends. There was no need for idolatry."
sorry guys! I was not at all happy with the old 147 so replaced it with this and the next one!
