Chapter12– identified
"so, you still wanna battle me?"
The younger one looked at his brother from the doorway "huh? Oh! That…"
"hmph…maybe next time, Keisuke-san. In the mean time, we have to beat this team who's a threat to the team" Ryousuke said as he looked out of his window. He suddenly heaved a sigh.
"Keisuke, would you mind sitting down? I have to tell you something" he then turned around and saw his brother sitting on his bed.
"so here it goes. Your race, it's coming sooner and sooner. Do you think you can win against them?"
"well…I'm not really 100 percent sure but…" he scratched his head "…I'll definitely try my very best to win. I don't want Yuki to be taken away from us…"
"good, good. Anyway, you've raced on Myogi a few times already. Perhaps what will motivate you to win is thinking that you got passed Fujiwara on that course…"
"yeah! You're right, Aniki! Or, I can think of that annoying guy…what's his name?" he thought hard "Dakada Minoko. Yeah, him. He's really annoying!"
"he is. But you aren't sure that he'll race you. To tell you the truth, I WANT to race him so bad that I seldom daydream on a race with him…"
"wow…really?"
"yeah. Sometimes, it gets to my nerve, just thinking about it."
"say, Aniki. Do you know what cars they drive? I am totally clueless on the look and sound of their cars…"
"actually, no. I haven't seen cars like theirs. I was supposed to search for their cars on the internet some time…"
"am I hearing correctly? Takahashi Ryousuke is unfamiliar with some imports?" Someone spoke from the hallway.
Silence broke throughout the second floor of the Takahashi residence. A shadow suddenly appeared then Yuki stepped out from behind the wall and stood by the doorway. She was wearing white shorts and an orange tee. Leaning by the doorframe, she smiled, saying, " Are their lanevos leaving you guys perplexed?"
Ryousuke's eyes widened upon hearing what she said. "lanevos?" he repeated
"yes. The cars that those brats' posses are the latest models of the Lancer Evolution series. They're called Evo VII and VIII." Yuki stated knowingly
"so their cars are the higher versions of what the Emperor team have"
"yes. They probably purchased them in America. The reason why I identified them was because I saw them before when I bought my SIR"
"oh, Yuki. Did I tell you? I just found out the Japanese name of your SIR. It's 'EK' if Shingo's car is an 'EG' , you have an 'EK'. I suddenly remembered." Ryousuke said out of the blue
"really? So that's why…" Keisuke commented on what Yuki just shared.
"yeah. Well, anyway. I'll go to sleep right now. Goodnight" she stood straight and smiled at them once more
"goodnight" the two men replied to her before she turned and left.
"so…it's a lanevo that we're gonna have to deal with, huh?" Keisuke told his brother.
"looks like it. Anyway. I have to research on this, Keisuke. Why don't you get some sleep? You look so exhausted that your body direly needs it"
"Aniki, you just said the magic words. I'm off to bed. Goodnight" he stood up and headed for his room.
"goodnight" Ryousuke replied as he turned to his computer to do some researching. Typing in the words 'Lancer Evolution speculations' on the search engine. He waited patiently for the results.
After the computer got all the search results, he looked at the page number: 20 pages with 25 sites per page.
"this is gonna be a long night" Ryousuke said as he clicked on the first one and read on.
