It was another Monday, Tatsuki was getting ready for school after her morning delivery. Bunta was standing in front of the mirror in his black bespoke suit and a necktie in his hand. Tatsuki walked over and tied the necktie. She slowly folded a silvery grey handkerchief and stuffed it into the pocket of his bespoken black suit.
"Wow, my dad is still so young and handsome!" Tatsuki grinned mischievously.
Bunta closed his shop and got into his white Mercedes Benz SL500 AMG with his daughter before they left their shop house. Tatsuki had totally forgotten about Ryosuke who told her that he would be picking her up at the train station. The girl was now reading a book in the convertible sports car. While she was enjoying the cool breeze on the highway, Ryosuke, who was in his usual white shirt and black pants, was waiting at the train station. He kept looking at his watch, frowning. He waited for almost forty-five minutes before he sped off towards Tokyo as he was getting late for his classes. His stern face was somewhat scary.
Bunta dropped his daughter at her school before he headed towards his office at the top floor of the skyscraper in the heart of Shinjuku. It was his routine quarterly meeting that he must showed his face from time to time. Though he had a number of trusted assistants working for him, he still kept a close eye on his business. Unknown to most people, he was not just a plain tofu shop owner but a successful real estate and hotels owner. The most mysterious owner of FW Group. Tatsuki knew about her real family business but she was happy to live in Shibukawa shop house instead of luxurious mansion in Tokyo. She did not like to be treated as a princess like most of her friends were. Both Fujiwara were contented being simple middle-class persons.
"Uncle Fujiwara sent you this morning?" Haruka asked curiously when she saw her friend exited from the white sports car this morning.
Tatsuki nodded and looked at her four friends, skeptically, "Why are you all looking at me like that?... He has his quarterly board meeting today."
"So, you can't hang out with us after school? I found a new cute cafe..." Miyu was whining when she could not find a friend to accompany her.
"Did your dad mentioned anything about his new project in Yokohama?" Haruka asked.
"Ne... my dad doesn't talk to me about his work. The only concerns he has now is how to make me go to Akina and battles with those street racers," Tatsuki replied boringly.
"What! When did you become a street racer? Do you know how cool it is?" Shin exclaimed excitedly, as he had been dreaming to become one.
Tatsuki immediately put on her headphones and laid on the table, shutting off Shin's words. She felt some fun from her race with GTR but it was not enough for her to feel any excitement yet. She never felt that she really won anyone as she knew every corner of Akina Pass. Unlike violin, she could not help to play it anytime that she could get hold of it. After the second period, Tatsuki went to the music room and began to practice for her upcoming violin exam. Her hand was fully recovered and she was delighted that she could play her musical instruments as she wished. Many students were gathered around the music room when they heard the intense rhythm coming out from the closed door.
At the nearby campus, Ryosuke was trying to pay attention to the lecture on internal medicine class. He had a three-hour clinical session at the hospital after this class. However, he was quite disturbing about his morning disappointment. It was the first time someone stood him up. He planned to wait for her at her school during the dismissal later in the afternoon.
Ryosuke was waiting along the street opposite Seiki Academy right after his clinical shift at Tokyo University Hospital. The students were slowly walking out of the school and got into their respective cars. He spotted Tatsuki who was just walking past the main gate. However, he paused when he saw a white Mercedes Benz SL500 stopped in front of her. A middle-age man in black business suit helped her with her school bag and drove off as soon as she strapped in. He began to wonder who was that older man and was following the sports car. Bunta brought his daughter to a cafe restaurant nearby for some snacks. Ryosuke found himself behaving a stalker, as he followed the girl. He found her smiling a lot when she was with the older man. In addition, she was not on her nerdy spectacles, showing off her beautiful face. He watched how adored the older man treated her. She indeed had a very beautiful smile. He never saw that on her when she was with him. He got out of the cafe without finishing his coffee and drove off towards his house. Tatsuki did not want to do any shopping so they decided to go straight home. It was a nice cool weather this afternoon so Tatsuki was enjoying her ride. She waved at the familiar white RX7 on the highway as her father's drove past.
"Your friend?" Bunta asked and slowing down his speed.
"The medical student that Sora-San asked him to send me home last week," she replied.
"So, it's a he?" Bunta made a casual remark before he had a close look at the FC3S. 'Red Suns!'
Bunta recalled where he heard this name from. It was Tatsuki first opponent on Akina. However, his daughter did not seem too aware about the guy. He asked if she knew who was her first challenger. Tatsuki told him that it was Takahashi Keisuke, driving a yellow RX7. She said it was a different car from this one. Ryosuke nodded at the girl as a courtesy. He was surprised to see them on the highway and slowly accelerating his car. He did not want to see her at the moment. The two Fujiwara reached home in the evening. Tatsuki went straight to her room and began her drawings.
Keisuke found his brother drinking in their usual hang-out. He could see how moody his brother was and wondered what bothered him. Not too long, there were girls approached them. Ryosuke was still thinking of what happened today. He kept thinking about the Mercedes Sports car.
'So, she likes expensive stuff,' he thought that she must be similar to most of the girls he met.
Although he had a few steady relationships, he was never as serious as the last one. Most of the girls he met just wanted some fun and money which disgusted him. The last one that he was serious with was Kaori, but it became complicated when she had a fiancé. It was a love triangle relationship which turned ugly. Since Kaori committed suicide last year, he and his respected sempai, Hoji Rin, were no longer friends. His life changed too. He spent more time drinking and clubbing. Tonight was also no different. He was a little high on alcohol when he stepped out of the lounge around midnight. He drove home and sat in his car with his mind still occupied with the nerdy girl and the older man at the cafe. He was frustrated and wanted to get rid of her image from his head. The more he tried, the more the images of Luna and Tatsuki, the nerdy girl, were repeatedly flashing in his head.
Keisuke got out of his car as he parked in the garage and walked over his brother's car. Ryosuke was still leaning back against his seat with his eyes closed. The younger man was checking on his brother. It was unusual for his brother to sleep in the car. Ryosuke got out and went straight to his room. He was very disturbing by his changes. He did not know when the memory of Kaori was replaced by that beautiful musician and the nerdy high school girl.
Tatsuki was ready for her morning delivery and had been wondering about what she heard yesterday. She looked at the cup and frowned when she saw how brimming the water was in it.
"You have a slightly heavier load today," Bunta said as he rubbed her head, adoringly.
"Dad, what's gum tape deathmatch?" Tatsuki asked.
"I explained to you later. You'd better go before getting late," Bunta replied and watched the Toyota Trueno sped off.
Bunta was not sure if Tatsuki could tackle the pass in that condition. He still wanted the girl to try it out. This would be a great opportunity for her to learn something new, especially when she drove with one hand a few weeks ago. He explained to Tatsuki when she came back home. However, she was dubious if she understood it until she tried. She went back to catch some sleep before going to school.
Tatsuki got out of the house at her usual time. She was walking to the train station with a book in her hand. She was quite relieved when she did not see the white RX7 this morning. She got into the train and found an empty corner to stand. She got off and transferred at Takasaki station where she got on to the Shinkansen. She found a seat on the non-reserved cabin. She was concentrating on her reading without realizing that the RX7 driver was sitting next to her.
"What are you doing here?" Tatsuki whispered when she felt someone was staring at her.
Ryosuke did not reply and led her out of the station before they entered a convenient store nearby. Tatsuki got something for both of them. They were sitting on the two empty high chairs by the front window, quietly having their breakfast.
"Who were you with yesterday?" Ryosuke asked with a stern voice.
Tatsuki looked at him curiously, "My father. Why?"
Ryosuke's ears turned red when he heard her reply. He was embarrassing when he realized how he had jumped into conclusions yesterday. He was lost in his thoughts while Tatsuki could not even bothered about him. They walked to school together after that. Tatsuki declined his offer to go back together after school when she got an appointment this afternoon.
Tatsuki changed into a white T-shirt and a pair of black skinny pants before she walked out of her school. She put on a pair of dark sunglasses that covered most upper part of her face. She slowly put on her black leather jacket while waiting for her friend. Sakamoto Shin stopped his racing bike in front of Tatsuki. They were on their way to Sora's studio for her next piano performance. Ryosuke, who was waiting on the other side of road, startled when he saw a girl resembling Luna walking out of Seiki Academy. He could not take his eyes off from the girl that had been flashing in his head even though she was already left.
Tatsuki got into the studio and met with her manager. Sora was delighted when she saw her pianist. They immediately sat down and began their discussion on the next performance at the Suntory Hall. She then tried a few dresses that were prepared by her manager for the performance. Tatsuki decided to use her own dresses for the performance.
Tatsuki met her friends at a restaurant near Tokyo Dome in the evening. It was their mini gathering where they were going to a concert. Five Seiki students were chatting while waiting for the concert to start. They got the best seats in the front row that designated for guests. Ten minutes into the concert, Tatsuki was escorted by the backstage staffs to a dressing room. She promised her artist to be his guest appearance at this concert. She changed into a black with glitter sleeveless jumpsuit and a pair of black stilettos. It was the first time that she had a glamorous makeup style. The audiences were overwhelmed as soon as the new song began. The cheers were soaring throughout the Tokyo Dome when Tatsuki sang her first ever written song, "If you ever decided". It was a big hit with unbeatable records for the past three years. They also performed another dance song before Ice introduced his secret guest to his fans as Luna, the famous pianist and his songwriter. This caused a big stir among the fans and entertainment reporters in the dome; as his songwriter was known as "Crescent".
"It's gonna be a talk of the town tomorrow," Miyu nudged Tatsuki's arm when she returned to her seat in her black leather jacket.
"I'm staying home tomorrow," Tatsuki told her friends while they were leaving the dome before the encores.
Tatsuki was hurried to the train station to catch a train home before it got too crowded.
Tatsuki was fully recharged herself after her morning delivery today. She woke up after lunch and was starving. The girl was busy making her meal in the kitchen. Bunta shook his head, sighing softly at his daughter. Her pictures in the black glittery jumpsuit with the Japan top idol behind in an intimacy posed were all over all newspapers and magazines. Tatsuki was munching her lunch while reading the newspaper. She did not expect to find herself on every newspaper.
'What a headline? Eeee... how did they come up with these...' she condemned silently while reading through the exaggerated headlines on each paper.
"Don't you think it's a bit overboard!" Bunta gave his daughter a light smack on her head.
"It's was just a dance and the angles that the photo was taken... just looked too exaggerated," Tatsuki whined and insisted that she was innocent.
"Who the hell choosing that suit? Don't you think it's too revealing?" The old man added when he thought of how short the jumpsuit was. It was too revealing and how sexy she was when he saw the picture this morning.
"Dad! It was very suitable for the stage and the songs," Tatsuki tried to explain to her father.
"Don't you ever think of Luna's image?" Bunta asked calmly.
"Sooner or later, the fans will know who I am. I'm not just Luna, the pianist. I'm also a songwriter, a violinist and many more... who the hack would care how a pianist should portray her image? I'm just a little musician," Tatsuki said with little annoyance.
"As long as you know who you are, I have no comment," Bunta rubbed her head, adoringly.
Bunta knew his daughter very well and she was aware of the consequences of every decision she made. He trusted her in whatever she did and she never disappointed him even once. Tatsuki knew very well what she was going to face when she made that guest appearance. At least, the makeup last night was enough to disguise her true face.
"By the way, I have another performance at Santory Hall next month. Are you going, dad?" She told her father.
Bunta nodded. Tatsuki got up and cleaned her dishes. She then helped out in the cleaning in the shop. She went out to the small restaurant near Akina in the afternoon. She was just daydreaming at the table by the window. She was leaning her head against one of her arms when she heard some conversations from the nearby tables. The guys were talking about the gum tape deathmatch that was scheduled on Saturday. They even mentioned about the recent accidents on Akina by a Honda Civic. Fortunately, no one was seriously injured but cars were damaged. Tatsuki was quite frustrating when she heard how arrogant the Civic driver was. She never liked such a bully, especially road bullies. She knew how dangerous it was to involve in any accidents on the mountain pass.
Tatsuki was going to school as usual on Friday after she missed two days classes. She was in her usual nerdy looking high school girl. As she approached the Shibukawa station, she met with the white sports car driver again. She was wondering what wrong with him. She had told him several times that she did not need his ride. She did not feel like taking his ride when they were neither friends nor had any common interests. It was very uncomfortable for her. However, she did not even know how she should make him understand in an outmost polite way. Ryosuke observed every of her slight changes in her expressions, knowing how annoyed she was. He just found that having her in his car made quite a pleasant journey for him. At least, it was not as bored as he drove to school alone. He did now know why he felt this way and wanted to know more about her. Tatsuki stopped in front of the driver and got into the car without saying a word. It was the first time that she did not take out a book to read. Instead, she initiated their first conversation which she tried to explain about her point of view on going to school together. She knew that his house was not in Shibukawa so it was inconvenient for him to do such thing. Ryosuke was amazed by how "talkative" she was this morning. He was kind of like her voice. She dropped her head after some time when he told her that they could become friends.
Tatsuki was exasperating when things did not go according to her plan. She never once encountered such a shameless person like him. Eventually, she gave up and put on her headphones. She had done enough talking to the driver. He chuckled softly at the way her facial expression changed as they talked. He watched her got out of the car and walked straight into the school without turning back. Her grumpy face had warned everyone in the school not to come near her. Her four friends were curious about her moody face. Tatsuki could not help but to think about seeing that medical student again after school was really made her blood boiled. She started to berate her manager silently for putting her in such spot.
The news of Itsuki's accident on Akina was spreading like a wildfire on Saturday morning. Tatsuki was at her cottage by Lake Akina. She was practicing her piano, preparing for her upcoming performance. It was their family's vacation house that Bunta bought for his wife's birthday. Shizuka stayed in this house till her last day of life. It was a small white cottage with a piano room. Tatsuki loved coming to this cottage as there were memories of her childhood. She was playing her new songs and writing a new one when she got the inspiration.
Iketani visited Fujiwara Tofu shop again. However, he told the shop owner not to let Tatsuki go to Akina tonight. Bunta was getting used seeing this young man every time there was a race. He was heated when he heard about their accidents especially on Akina. He knew the EG6 driver's intention. That jerk was forcing his daughter to race with him tonight. He sympathized Itsuki who was still hospitalized. Tatsuki came home after spending the whole day at the cottage. Bunta brought his girl out for dinner. He told her about the battle tonight. Tatsuki was outraged when she heard about her new opponent. It was the first time the father and daughter shared the same feelings.
Tatsuki went up the Akina to meet the red Honda Civic EG6. Although Bunta had explained about the gum tape deathmatch earlier, she was still vague about how difficult it would be. Shingo was stunned a little when he saw the Hachi-Roku driver was actually a girl. He did not see her furious expression under her black cap. Iketani was helping her taping her right hand to the steering while persuading her to cancel the race. Tatsuki smiled at the older man and thanked him for his sincere concerns. The race began in a short while. Tatsuki was ahead of Shingo. She was still not knowing what she was about to face when she could not turn the steering wheel the way she always did. At the first corner, Tatsuki finally realized that her steering wheel could not turned enough to make it slid through at her usual angle. She twisted her body so that she could turn the steering wheel more before she cleared the corner safely. Her mind was concentrated on the course and tried to find the way to drift into the corner with the minimum turning. Through a few trials, she finally found the way to control her car in this situation. She was delighted of how easy it was using this new technique. However, her fast adaptability had agitated Shingo and he intentionally bumped into her rear bumper just before she entered the corner. This caused her car to spin and she managed to get it back on course after a 360-degree spin. Tatsuki never feared for her life liked this moment. She was raging and shaking while chasing down the hill. She drove so recklessly fast that she knocked on the guardrails, scratching her car as she exited the corners. Soon, the Hachi-Roku caught up with the EG6. It took just a split second for the Hachi-Roku to overtake the EG6. Tatsuki raced down the course subconsciously and straight back to her house. She was still in her raging state which she just threw the key on the table and went straight to her bed. Bunta was surprised to see his daughter came home in that foul mood. He could not remember when was the last time he saw the girl was so fuming. He checked out on the sleeping girl before turning in, made sure that she was fine.
It was a chaotic morning when Bunta noticed the minor damages on his car. Tatsuki was denying and even condemned her father for blaming her. Bunta was annoying with her response. The two father and daughter were arguing when Tatsuki could not remember anything about the race last night. After a few smacks from her father, she squatted by the car with her full memory replayed in her head. She told her father about the last night race in her remorseful voice. She was really scared that she would not make it to the bottom safely when her car spun. Bunta gave her a hug, consoling his daughter. It had been a long time since the girl showed her full emotion. He knew that she must be very frightened out there. He could not bear to think about what if. He began to wonder if she should continue racing. He watched his daughter out for delivery in dilemma.
Bunta cleaned up the shop and waited for his daughter to come home. It took a longer time than usual. Tatsuki was trying the skills she learned last night on her home course. She did not know why she wanted to do this. She went home when she saw the fuel gauge indicated less than a quarter. Bunta asked where she would like to go today. Tatsuki told her father that she wanted to go to the cottage on Akina. After an hour, they were on their way to their little cottage. It was a breezy day with wonderful weather. There were people around the Lake Akina, either fishing or boating. Bunta was cycling around the lake with his daughter sitting behind. He must keep fit to be able to accommodate his daughter's activities. Tatsuki was singing as she enjoying the ride. At lunch, they stopped at their favorite restaurant by the lake. This was an old restaurant that Bunta patronized since his younger days. The shop owner was happy to see this family again. After lunch, Tatsuki found a nice place under a big tree where they could lay down. They were chatting, sharing a lot of their thoughts. Bunta told the girl about his new project in Yokohama and asking if she had any nice idea to share. He knew that his daughter had some businesses with her friends. However, he planned to slowly let her to get involved in his business after she graduated from high school. His new project was a joint venture between FW Group and Ikeda Real Estates. It was both of their fathers' idea to get the two girls involved in the project. Tatsuki dozed off before he could finish his lines. Bunta shook his head at his daughter. She was that kind of girl that could just lazing around whenever she had the chance. He was quite worried of how fast she could get into her sleep.
Tatsuki met Ryosuke at the station on Monday morning. She knew that she could not stop him from coming here every morning so she decided to go with the flow, making a new friend. She gave him a cute little lunchbox that she prepared. She noticed that he always had coffee in the morning so she also had a tumbler of black coffee for him. She slowly ate her breakfast while he was driving. The driver was taking a few glances at the passenger who seemed different today. Tatsuki kept everything into her lunch bag and started on her mathematics workbook. She sat in the car that was parking in the University of Tokyo premises while Ryosuke was having his breakfast. He was surprised with her friendly changes this morning. The rice balls and side dishes were delicious, but the black coffee was too bitter. Tatsuki kept his lunchbox and tumbler into her lunch bag once he finished the food.
"For you," she passed an envelope of a pair of Luna's tickets to him.
She did not mention about what was inside and just got out of the car before crossing over to her school. Ryosuke looked down at the black envelope in his hand. It was the upcoming Luna's piano performance. He was delighted and surprised that she could get the tickets. His mother was complaining how hard to get one over the last weekend. Mrs. Takahashi managed to get a pair of the tickets and she planned to go with her husband this time. He then recalled the headline news over the weekend on her appearance at a pop idol concert. He secretly bought all the newspapers and magazines that published her news and pictures. He even watched the entertainment news highlights which played her dance moves and singing with the idol. She was very attractive and sexy on that stage. He had to agree that she was born to be on stage. He had done something that he never thought he would be doing. He was over the moon as he walked into his classroom.
The White Comet of Akagi was waiting at his car after his class in the afternoon. Tatsuki saw him across the road. She walked over and told him to go back first as she had an appointment. She had to go to the Santory Hall to prepare for her performance which would take hours. She firmly told him that he could not be tagged along. She had work to do and would see him next Monday. She turned back and get into the black Mercedes Benz S500L that was waiting for her. He was stunned a little by her firmed tone of voice. He knew she was serious this time. Tatsuki was in the concert hall setting up the sound systems. She even played a song on the grand piano to test. It took a few hours before she was sent home by his father's chauffeur.
Tatsuki was again helping her father adjusted his bespoke dark grey suit before they left in his Mercedes sports car. Tatsuki was still in her black tee and torn jeans when she arrived at the Santory Hall in Shinjuku. She gave her father a special pass so he could access all areas while she dressed up. She chose a one shoulder white dress for today's premiere performance. Her long hair was tied into a high bun with diamond tiara, showing off her beautiful face and neckline.
Bunta was standing with his friends as usual. They were exchanging their conversations while their wives were gathered at the other side. His friends were talking about Tatsuki's recent headlines. They must agree that their children had grown up. The five fathers were sharing what they would do if their children had their boyfriend/girlfriend. The five families then entered the concert hall when the door opened. Tatsuki reserved the best seats for them. It was another successful performance by Luna. She was stopped by some reporters for an interview. She did not respond to their questions on the speculation of her relationship with the pop idol. She only gave her reply to the questions related to her piano performance.
Tatsuki walked out of her dressing room after she washed her face and changed into her tee. The girl was carrying two bouquets of flowers and hurried to the sports car. Bunta congratulated her for a successful performance tonight. He was so proud of how talented his daughter was.
Mr. and Mrs. Takahashi were getting ready to go to the concert this evening. They were surprised to see their two sons dressed up in a formal suit too. Ryosuke told his parents that he also got the tickets so he was going with Keisuke. On the other hand, Keisuke was frowning when he was being dragged by his brother to watch a classical concert. He was still doubting how he would fit into that category. He would be more than happy if his brother gave him a rock concert ticket instead. He did not know when his brother had such interests.
As the Takahashi family arrived at the Santory Hall, there were already crowds at the reception hall. Their parents were hanging out with their friends as soon as they stepped in. The two brothers were standing at a corner, looking at the people in the lobby. In a short while, they were attracted by a group of four teens in their stunning evening gowns and tailored suits. They made a big entrance when they entered the lobby as they were escorted to the backstage. The four teens were now sitting at the best row seats in the middle of the hall after they met their friend. Shin turned to look at the two young man next to him. He was curious to how they managed to get these seats. As this row of seats were exclusively reserved for Tatsuki's guests and friends.
Luna walked on the stage in a deep purple extravagant gown. She bowed before took her seat and soon her performance began. Ryosuke was staring at the pianist on the stage at all time. Keisuke finally realized that his brother was attracted to the pianist on stage. He could not disagree how gorgeous this girl was and she would make a perfect match for his brother. He also glad that her performance was enjoyable than what he was expected. Her performance changed his opinion on classical music. Keisuke gave his brother a nudge when the young guy next to them went up on stage to present her a bouquet of flowers.
"You like her?" Keisuke said with a cheeky smile.
Ryosuke gave his younger brother a warning glare for a return. He could not believe how sharp Keisuke could be sometimes. They left the hall to meet their parents. Mrs. Takahashi was a little upset when she did not get a good seat this time. She was surprised when she saw where her boys were sitting. She told her son to get the tickets for the next time.
"Where did you get the tickets, Aniki?" Keisuke asked softly after their parents left.
Ryosuke did not reply but was looking around for someone. He was wondering where was Tatsuki. Ryosuke told Keisuke to leave first as he was waiting for a friend. Keisuke was reluctant to leave as his curiosity grew but he still got into his yellow RX7 after a while. At the same time, Tatsuki was already changed into her simple tee and torn jeans, and was walking out of the hall through the basement car park. She quickly wore her nerdy glasses and cap while walking towards the exit. Ryosuke spotted the girl and walked over.
"Going home?" Ryosuke asked the puzzled girl.
Tatsuki was surprised to see him waiting for her at the car park. She looked around and there were only a few cars left.
"Get in, I'm sending you home," he urged when he saw that she was not moving.
Tatsuki got in the white sports car and looked out of the window. She was very tired and sleepy at this moment. Soon, she just dozed off while curled up in her seat. Ryosuke stopped at the traffic lights and placed his jacket over her. Unknown to Ryosuke, Keisuke was following him at a distance behind. He was shocked to see his brother was with a girl. He found the girl looked very familiar especially in tee and jeans with a cap. She looked like the Akina Hachi-Roku, the driver that he would never forget. He recalled Luna's posters in the concert hall and the Akina driver that morning. It was the same person after all. Ryosuke stopped at the rest station before Takasaki. He looked at his passenger with a mixed feeling. He was not sure if she was the same person as the pianist on the stage. He just suspected when he put everything he knew about her together. However, he was not ready for a new relationship yet. The white RX7 pulled off the resting area and continued to Shibukawa. He stopped in front of a shop and woke the girl up. Tatsuki slowly opened her eyes and looked around. She sprung up and hit her head when she met a serious glare of her father. She rubbed her head and quickly got out of the car.
"Get into the house first," Bunta told his daughter.
Tatsuki bowed at the driver and quickly got into her house. She was scared that her father would scold. Bunta turned to the young men in front of him. He looked at Ryosuke with a stern face, telling him to stay away from his daughter. Ryosuke did not gave the old man any response but bowed politely and got into the car. He knew that Tatsuki's father would be a tough hurdle for him if he were courting her.
