Tatsuki went back to school and work after three days of rest under Bunta's and Ryosuke's supervision. She got up a little early to wear her long hair wigs. Bunta was smiling at his daughter who had to go through all the trouble to hide her new hairstyle. He gave her a new car key. She had to drive her light lilac Toyota Supra to school for the first time. It attracted too much attention especially in her school. The lilac car with distinctive graffiti monsters' artworks made the car stood out from far. The interior was exclusively designed with the matching artwork for the trimming and panels. The sports bucket seats were wrapped with pale lilac Suede leather with deep purple trim.
Miyu walked over and checked on her friend with a great anxiety. They were worried sick when they heard that she was hospitalized. Tatsuki told her friends that she was fine. They walked into their classroom together. It had been some time since Tatsuki skipped classes. Many of her classmates were asking about how she was doing. Tatsuki felt uneasy by their friendliness. She took out her laptop and began her work while the teacher was teaching the class.
Tatsuki went to Sun Entertainment studio in the afternoon. She walked straight into the post production studio immediately. She began her music video post-production after it was lying in the studio for days. She was leaning against the seat, watching the final video. She checked through her second album CD and music videos. She named her second album as "Chapter Two". The cover was the picture of her cool face in a white boyish outfit. She loved the picture so much. She then kept the master copy in her safe until the production date in January. She then continued with her third album which she named it, "Light and Rain."
Miyu knocked on the door at six o'clock. She told her friend to go home. Tatsuki looked at her watch and realized it was a little late. She quickly packed her bag and kept all her work in the safe before rushing out of the studio. As she ran towards her car, she saw the med-student standing just next to her car. She quickly apologized for the waiting. They had a short casual chat before they got into their respective cars. Tatsuki was heading home for dinner with her father. Ryosuke was on his way to meet his brother and Fumihiro. They were meeting up for some discussion on his new team.
Another morning on Akina, the Hachi-Roku was seen racing down the course as usual. Tatsuki had been staying for an hour practice every morning since she decided to join Ryosuke's team. She knew that she had to put more effort in her driving so that she would not disappoint him. Bunta looked at his daughter who just got out of the car. He was quite surprised with her improvement.
"Use the yellow car today. Kaito had tweaked some new settings on it to suit your style," Bunta gave her the Mazda RX7 key to her.
Tatsuki, who was just came down in her school uniform, was looking at the key in her hand with repulsive. She never regretted once in her life but for this car, she could not believe what she was thinking when choosing the color. She was not fond of yellow; however, she was glad that she had changed its color to this pastel yellow. She could imagine the attention she was going to receive later. She took a deep breath before she got into the car. Her mind was telling her that she would never drive it again if not necessary. Bunta simpered, looking pleased with Tatsuki's expression. He wanted to tell her to keep her car color simple but she could not resist her artistic genesis. What he did not know was that these colors were the trend setter decades later. The warehouse next to her cottage on Akina was the proof of her love for art and paintings.
She had driven the RX7 FD3S at Suzuka so she was familiar with this third generation RX7, except for this car had a mountain racing setup. She looked at her rear-view mirror at one point and saw the white RX7 just right behind her. She did not know if he had recognized this car that was used in her music video. They pulled over along the university road. Ryosuke grinned at the girl in long face. He led her into a small cafe for breakfast. Tatsuki looked outside the window, sighed at the crowd around the cool yellow car.
"You've changed the color. It looks very lovely," Ryosuke commented when he noticed where her eyes were.
"Lucky that I changed it a while ago. If not, I don't think I'll drive it," she said in her bored voice.
"What's your plan this weekend?" Ryosuke asked.
"I have MV to do on Saturday and family day on Sunday," she said and sipped some milk.
"Do you wanna come with me this Saturday?" she asked.
Ryosuke nodded and slowly changed the subject. He asked her how she felt when driving the FD. She just gave him some vague answers and emphasized that she still preferred her Trueno. Soon, both of them left for their classes.
Ryosuke fetched Tatsuki from her house right after her delivery on Saturday morning. They were heading up to Mount Akina to meet the crews who were waiting at the cordoned space near the lake. Tatsuki was in her black knitted sweater and jeans today. She wore a black knitted cap to cover her new hairstyle. Everyone was amazed to see their artist coming to the set with a guy. Tatsuki nodded to the crews as she walked past them. She found a chair for Ryosuke before she entered the tent to change her outfit. Soon she came out in a white shirt and torn jeans, topped with a beige trench coat.
Ryosuke was now sitting behind the crews, watching Tatsuki did her job. She had a few photoshoots done earlier and was playing a guitar while singing. Next part was some stories to incorporate into the video. Tatsuki had already changed into a white tee and beige maxi skirt. She was gazed at her assistant director, asking where was the actor. Her assistant was stuttering as he could not contact the actor this morning. Upon seeing his boss's black face, he quickly apologized and proposed to get Ryosuke to help out. Tatsuki looked at her assistant and dialed a number in her phone. Kaito texted her that he was in class so he could only be at Akina in the evening. She looked at Ryosuke for a moment. She was completely against the idea and was thinking of calling off today's work.
Miyu walked over to Ryosuke right after she got out of the car. She sat down and had a little chat with Ryosuke. She showed him the storyboard and what Tatsuki was going to do. She even emphasized that there would be somebody contacts during the shoots but she could not tell him to what extent. Miyu was smiling brightly when she saw the positive reaction from the guy. She knew that he did not like any kind of intimate scenes. She winked at her friend with a mischievous smile. After a short break, the video production resumed. It was a very cold and windy day. They were doing some outdoor dating scenes like riding bike around the lake, strolling in the woods and etc. Miyu watched the two with a smile. They were just naturally being themselves. She asked the photographer to take some pictures of them.
Tatsuki was in sweet pastel babydoll dress, leaning against the trunk of a tree. Ryosuke was leaning over with one hand on her waist and the other on the tree trunk. It was a beautiful view of a loving couple in front of the camera. Miyu was smiling and wished to put in addition scenes for them. Ryosuke came back to the director tent where Miyu gave him his coat. Tatsuki continued to do some emotional scenes. Her executive assistant, Gina, put on her coat while she was preparing herself. She paced around, finding the right emotion. This was the hardest thing for her. The last time she cried was when she was with Ryosuke a few weeks ago. She recalled the feeling when her car engine blew up. It was easier to think of that incident. After almost twenty minutes, Tatsuki took off the coat and passed it to Gina. All cameras were focused on the singer. The picture of Tatsuki looked into the camera with tears rolling down was captured. Tatsuki put on her coat and checked on the monitors. She then changed into a pants outfit, doing a piano scene.
As the sun began to set early in this autumn season, they moved into the warehouse to do all the indoor scenes. The living area of the warehouse was used for their daily activities' scene. They did some scenes in the kitchen and living room. Though they did not have intimate positions, just some holding hands and light embraces, they looked very sweet and loving in the eyes of the audience. Tatsuki was now finishing her work with her solo singing scenes. She sat down, sipping her tea while checking the monitors. Shin and Miyu proposed a dinner together. Ryosuke and Tatsuki then changed into their own clothes before they went out.
Tatsuki rested her eyes while taking her ride in Ryosuke's car. She was listening to her new song with her CD player. She was so relaxed herself that she was singing along. Ryosuke took a few glances at his passenger with a small smile. They arrived at a traditional Japanese restaurant in Maebashi with Shin and Miyu. The two friends of Tatsuki led them into the restaurant where they had reserved a private room.
Tatsuki removed her black face mask after she entered the room. She narrowed her eyes as she looked at her friends with suspicion. Shin had preordered their dinner for them. They began to have some chat before it turned into a work-related discussion. Tatsuki told Miyu to take over some works at Sun Entertainment for now till mid-December. She would finish all outstanding work on her second album by this weekend. She was going to concentrate more on Yokohama projects from next week onwards. Shin updated her on the progress of Five Shibuya and a few of their restaurants. Ryosuke squeezed her hand to stop her from discussing further. The three teens apologized for being carried away with their conversation. The dinner was very pleasant and they got to know Ryosuke better.
Tatsuki asked Ryosuke to drop her off at Akina cottage. She was eager to get the post production done. Ryosuke looked at his watch, it was too late to work. He decided to send her home instead. Bunta looked at the gloomy girl who just got out of the car. Ryosuke told the old man that she wanted to continue working on her music videos tonight. Bunta thanked Ryosuke and sent him off before he went inside. Tatsuki was pouting at Ryosuke's insistence.
"He cares for you, you should appreciate," Bunta rubbed her blond hair.
"He's like another you now," she said.
Tatsuki got up and stomped to her room upstairs. She knew he had a good intention yet she did not like it.
Keisuke walked into Ryosuke's bedroom that night. His brother was at the table working on his theory again. He noticed that his brother was in a good mood. He was also curious where he went this morning.
"Did you finish your practice today?" Ryosuke asked.
"Aniki, don't change subject. Where were you this morning?" Keisuke said.
"The Akina Hachi-Roku is practicing every day and she is improving fast," Ryosuke added.
"So, you're dating her, right? I should have known it..." Keisuke smiled at his brother.
"No, we aren't," Ryosuke cut off all Keisuke's assumptions.
"Neh... Aniki, is she joining us next year?" Keisuke was excited to know about Tatsuki's decision.
"It's still too early to say," Ryosuke replied.
"What's holding her up?" Keisuke did not understand.
Ryosuke turned his chair back and was facing his brother. He explained to the younger man that Tatsuki had her work plans after her graduation. It was her work schedule and it was not easy for her to reschedule it. He also told his brother that she was not just a musician, Luna. But she had some businesses to take care of too. Keisuke astonished to know that she owned businesses at such a young age. He began to wonder if she had any other interests besides works.
Ryosuke turned his attention back to his theory. He still had a few revisions to do as his examination was around the corner.
Tatsuki looked at the cover picture on the monitor screen. She chose the picture of herself dressed in a white shirt and grey pants, sitting on a white car roof, looking side way. The background was the autumn setting on a mountain landscape. She loved this picture. She slowly went through all the pictures to be used in the second album. She was now sitting on her sofa with her father in the warehouse, watching her music videos playing on the projector screen. Bunta was surprised to see Ryosuke in her new MVs. He could not believe how beautifully it was done. In another MV, he began to suspect if he got a son. Tatsuki looked so cool and her dance moves were strong and powerful like a man. This album was showing her masculine side of herself with just one love song. He knew that she would be the talk of the town once she revealed her new look and the album.
After she kept all her work in the safe, she then began her drawing on a Honda NSX. It was another car that she got for her birthday present this year. Bunta watched her mixed a new paint. She decided to do a more sleek and subtle design for this car.
"Do you think I should change our Trueno's color?" Tatsuki asked as she stood beside her father.
"Stop dreaming! That's my car so don't ever lay your hands on it," Bunta warned in a serious tone.
Tatsuki giggled at her father's reaction. She then went into the kitchen and made dinner for themselves. They ended their Sunday with some good wine by the bay window.
After two hectic weeks, Tatsuki came out from a hidden laboratory on Mt. Akagi. It was a place where she came occasionally whenever she was required. She was tired and sleepy after many days and nights of work on clinical trials for new drugs. However, she had an urge to see someone today.
Tatsuki looked for Ryosuke in Akagi area again. She saw a few Red Suns cars parked outside a restaurant. She walked into the restaurant, towards where Fumihiro was sitting. Fumihiro and Kenta were startled when they saw the Hachi-Roku driver standing by their table.
"Hi," Tatsuki nodded.
"Hi, what are you doing here?" Kenta asked.
Fumihiro smiled at the girl and asked her to sit down beside him. Tatsuki sat down and asked if they were meeting the Takahashi brothers. Fumihiro told her that Keisuke was coming later while Ryosuke should be at home working on his driving theory. Kenta then asked if she was joining the expeditionary team next year. Tatsuki remained silent. Soon, the two men began to realize that they had no idea how to engage a conversation with her. Tatsuki was playing with her drinks while she listened to their conversations boringly.
Keisuke looked at the girl sitting across him, wondering what she was doing here. She was bored and hanging out with these three guys was no different.
"Do you want me to call Aniki here?" Keisuke asked after watching her played with the drinks for some time.
"No, thanks. I'd better go home," she replied boringly.
"Hey, come on. I can send you home," Keisuke offered his ride.
Tatsuki looked up at the blonde man and said, "No, thanks. I'm not a fan of bright yellow car."
"Fujiwara! Are you asking for a fight?" Keisuke muttered.
"I don't think you wanna get beaten up by a girl, like your defeats on Akina... twice," she said with a cheeky smile.
Keisuke was losing his cool and was trying to grab her sweater. Tatsuki immediately slapped his hand off before he could reach her. She looked at the blonde man with a challenge gaze.
"I don't mind we find a place to loosen my muscles. You dare?" Tatsuki smiled as she said.
"Ok, kids. No fighting!" Fumihiro stopped the two younger drivers before things got out of hand.
Tatsuki was getting excited how easily she could provoke the blonde driver. The two brothers were so different. Ryosuke was a composed person while Keisuke was quite hot-headed.
"Did anyone ever tell you that you should think before you act?" She asked Keisuke curiously.
"Fujiwara, please stop provoking Keisuke," Fumihiro told the girl in his serious manner.
"Fine. Thanks for entertaining me," she said and slowly got up, straightening her sweater.
Tatsuki waved goodbye at the three men and walked out of the restaurant. She made her way to the bus stop, catching a bus home. The three Red Suns were addled by her behavior. Keisuke looked at his reddened hand where she hit earlier. He knew that this girl was not simple. He called his brother and told him about Tatsuki. Ryosuke did not say anything to his brother but he was already gotten out of his house.
Tatsuki was quite sleepy after a long bus ride to Shibukawa. All she could think of was her comfy bed. She strolled down the street after got off the bus. She walked past Ryosuke who was waiting by his car for some time.
"Tatsuki," he called out her name when she did not notice him.
She turned around and greeted him with a sleepy voice. She got into his car and dozed off in a short time. Ryosuke looked at the girl skeptically. He stopped at Lake Akina, looking over the lake while she was still asleep. He could not contact her for the past two weeks. They were busy with their own lives. He just finished his exams. As they were in the car, snow began to fall. Tatsuki woke up after a long nap. She gazed at the falling snow immensely.
"Have you had dinner?" Tatsuki asked suddenly.
"No," Ryosuke replied.
"Let's go to the cottage. I made something for us," she said and unstrapped her seatbelt.
She led him into her cottage and gave him a towel to dry himself. She was drying herself while walking into the kitchen. She checked what she had in the fridge. She began to prepare a simple rice bowl in no time. Ryosuke watched her cooking in the kitchen. It was an amazing sight to witness another side of her.
"Itadakimasu!" Both of them said and began their meal.
After the meal, Ryosuke was helping her washing dishes in the kitchen. Tatsuki cleaned the place and she led him downstairs. She slowly played piano while he was sitting next to her. It had been a while that she did not have time to practice. Her next performance was scheduled in Spring so she had to start practicing piano and violin again. They enjoyed their time together though they did not talk much. She liked his companionship and felt comfortable being with him. As for Ryosuke, he desired to see her every day. The more he spent time with her, the more he was longing for her. He had gotten used to her new hairstyle and thought that she was so charismatic too. She invited him to join her Christmas party on Christmas Eve afternoon. They then slowly planned their Christmas Day together.
Ryosuke sent her home late that night. He greeted her father before he left. Bunta looked at the vanishing car with some dilemma. He was pleased with Ryosuke but he still felt that it was too early for his daughter to be in a relationship. With another thought, they were still together within his sights.
Tatsuki just got out of the bathroom after her morning practice session at Akina. It was Christmas Eve and she had a party with her friends. She slowly put on her silky black long hair wigs. She chose a pastel pink cashmere sweater, a dusky pink tulle skirt, a creamy white knitted cap and a pair of white sneakers. She packed a small crossbody bag with her phone, a wallet and other items. She put on her Richard Mille watch and some rose gold jewelry. Lastly, she put on a creamy white Parka before went downstairs.
"See you in the evening, Dad," she gave her father a kiss before got out of the house.
Bunta watched his daughter carrying three big paper bags out of the house. She slowly loaded the bags into the boot of the RX7. She took off her parka before getting into the car.
Tatsuki looked at Ryosuke who was in his most casual outfit that she had ever seen. A pale pink shirt with white sweater, a pair of black denim and white sneakers. She then gave him a box of present. Ryosuke raised his brow at her as he received the present.
"Open it," she urged as she wanted to know if he liked her present.
Ryosuke could not help but opened the present. It was the Richard Mille watch, the same as what she was wearing. Ryosuke returned to her as he knew how expensive it was. She was upset when he refused her gift. Ryosuke explained his reasons for not accepting such an extravagant gift. Tatsuki looked outside the window, she thought of how much effort she put into choosing this present for him. She knew it was expensive but it was worth the money. She thought it was a common thing for such gifts. She always received much more expensive than this.
Ryosuke placed his hand on her hand when he noticed her reaction. She did not turn to look at him even when he held her hand. Tatsuki rested her head against her arm as she was just staring out of the window. He stopped the car at a petrol station. He knew that she was upset but it was too expensive. She told him that she never thought about the price. She chose it because it was worthy and it was a pair. He then realized that she was wearing the same watch on her wrist. He finally agreed to take it which earned a smile from her. She eagerly took off his watch and replaced it with her present. She even showed him the engraved letters at the back to him.
After the unpleasant moment, they then continued their journey to their destination in Tokyo. It was Tatsuki's penthouse in Roppongi. The place was decorated with pastel colors theme. There were balloons, flowers and snowflakes decorations. Haruka was busy with the food corner as the caterers just arrived. Asahi was at the bar, preparing some drinks for themselves. Shin was choosing CDs at the TV console. Miyu was just walking around.
"Merry Christmas!" They shouted as Tatsuki opened the door.
She smiled brightly and gave each of them a big hug, leaving Ryosuke standing at the door with a big paper bag.
"Oh! Sorry, we didn't saw you. Please come in and merry Christmas," Shin quickly apologized when he noticed Ryosuke's presence.
Tatsuki led Ryosuke to the present corner and put the boxes on the floor under the white Christmas tree. She then went to the catering table as she was starving. She picked a mini strawberry shortcake and fed Ryosuke who was standing beside her. Her sudden action seemed to please him somehow. It was just a casual gift exchange gathering that they did every year. Tatsuki walked into her bedroom and came out with her white violin. She played a piece for them. The four were shouting encores like they did at a concert. She smiled and played another few pieces of her own song. Ryosuke smiled at how happy she was with her friends. They were very excited when it came to the gift exchange time. Tatsuki prepared on behalf of Ryosuke's too.
"Hey, did you prepare this or she?" Miyu asked Ryosuke when she received a branded wallet.
"You knew the answer," he replied.
"So, you're in a relationship that calls "friends". I understand!" Miyu tapped on his shoulder with an understanding smile.
Ryosuke lowered his head and sighed. He knew that Tatsuki preferred it this way. He was afraid of losing her if he crossed her line. He still remembered the time when they were in Akagi. That incident told him that he must be patient. Tatsuki sat beside him after she opened up all her presents with her friends. She was urging him to opened his as everyone was waiting.
The next itinerary of the day was to have dinner with Bunta. They drove back to Shibukawa in the afternoon. Ryosuke got into the shop house with some groceries in hand. Tatsuki went up to change into her home clothes. She then prepared their dinner and strawberry shortcake. The two men were sitting in the living room quietly with one just reading newspaper. Kaito arrived at the house before six. He was stunned at the living entrance when he saw the two men in there. Tatsuki smiled at the awkward moment in her living room. Dinner started at six. They had a good time at dinner. Tatsuki brought out a small cake. She cut and distributed to each of them while her father gave the present to her, Kaito and their guest. She looked at the small box and shook it. She knew by the sound that it was a key. She thanked her father and urged Ryosuke to open the box. He was reluctant as he had too many surprises this afternoon. Bunta gave him a chronograph watch from a well-known brand. Ryosuke thanked the old man. As for Kaito, his present was the same as Tatsuki.
They then left the house to meet with Red Suns members at their usual place. The members were got used to seeing their leader together with the Akina Hachi-Roku. However, they were in their matching apparel today. This startled the Red Suns members who were thinking that they were in a romantic relationship. Ryosuke was carrying two bags full of presents into the cafe. He put them on the table before they sat down on the empty seats. Tatsuki said hi and merry Christmas to everyone. Ryosuke asked Fumihiro to distribute the Tatsuki's Christmas gifts to everyone. Tatsuki was just sipping her tea as she watched the guys talking mostly about cars. Keisuke asked Ryosuke softly about his whereabouts this morning. He was curious and could not wait to hear the details. But he was disappointed when his brother was not here to share. Tatsuki slowly put on her headphones after some time. She found their conversation pretty boring. Ryosuke noticed the girl drifting off into her own world. He then turned to his friends and said goodbye, bringing the girl to his car. He decided to go to his secret place so they could spend time together. It was snowing outside. They both stayed inside the car, listening to her new album.
Keisuke, who was following his brother's car up the Akagi, was watching them from a distance. He saw the two of them just staying in the car. He did not understand their way of spending their time together. The two could just sitting at a table together doing their own things, without any conversation. He noticed the way Tatsuki was with them for a few times. The girl was very quiet most of the time. He left the course after some time.
"I have a countdown concert in Tokyo on New Year eve. Do you want to come with me?" Tatsuki asked and slowly showing him an All-Area Pass.
He could see the answer that she was expecting from him and kept the pass. She told him that she would be busy until New Year. So, they could only meet up again after new year. She was not that kind of girl that needed him 24/7. She was not clingy and even too independent sometimes. At the same time, she had her childish and sweet personality that she only showed to those she was close to.
"So... you will pick me up at noon on that day, ok?" she looked at him with a smile as she asked.
"Hmmm," he nodded.
"Oh! I'm free tomorrow afternoon. Shall we go to a ski resort together?" she asked.
"But I have something on," he replied with a teasing grin.
"It's ok then," she said with a disappointment.
Ryosuke put his hand on her head and told her that he was kidding. Tatsuki brushed his hand off her head and returned him an annoyed glare. He asked if Keisuke could join in as he was certain on his skiing skills. It had been a long time since he last played winter sports. Tatsuki agreed and asked if he was really available tomorrow. Ryosuke sent her home shortly after.
Tatsuki told her father that she was going to Karuizawa ski resort tomorrow. She knew that he would turn down especially when he knew that she invited Ryosuke. She returned to her room for a rest.
The next morning, Bunta prepared Mercedes Benz G500 AMG for her trip. Tatsuki had an hour practice on Akina this morning. She was in her Barbie pink snowboard apparel and waiting in her living room. Kaito had loaded all her bags and snowboarding gear into the G500.
It was the first time Keisuke came to Fujiwara's Tofu shop. They firstly greeted Fujiwara Bunta who was standing by a black Mercedes wagon. The old man gave the car key to Ryosuke, indicating that they were going to use this car for today trip. Keisuke was shocked when he heard it. He thought that they were using their own cars. The two young men slowly transferred their bags into the wagon. Tatsuki walked out of the house and slowly checked on their gears. She looked at the two brothers and shook her head when she saw no skiing or snowboarding equipment. Luckily that she prepared extra sets for them. She then got into the back seat with Kaito. It was so cold outside. They waved at the old man before driving down the street.
Tatsuki turned on the music as Ryosuke was driving. Keisuke looked at the two whose auras were so in line with each other. He felt he was odd one out here. As for the other guy at the back, Kaito was already asleep since he got into the car. The girl was now lazing on her back seat with a book in her hand. It was not often for Ryosuke to drive such a big car. He was very cautious when driving it, especially this car was Bunta's car.
"Do you think you can drift with this car?" Tatsuki asked curiously.
"You can try but I'm not going to. Your dad will kill me," Ryosuke replied in a plain tone.
"I think he will kill me first," she said with some giggles.
"Just read your book and stop trying to be mischievous," he told the girl, knowing that she sometimes had funny ideas to piss Bunta off.
"You're getting boring," she pouted and continued reading her book.
They arrived at the ski resort after an hour. They went to the resort hotel to check-in. Each of Tatsuki and Kaito got a room while the two brothers shared a room. Tatsuki brought her bag into her room. She then waited for the guys in the restaurant. She chose brunch buffet for all of them. She drank a glass of milk while waiting. Three men sat down at the table. Tatsuki walked around buffet lines with Ryosuke. Keisuke was filling his plate while looking at his brother and the girl. Kaito was observing from the table. Tatsuki took a bit of everything on the line. She got Ryosuke a cup of black coffee and cappuccino for the other two. She then slowly ate her food. The three guys were chatting while waiting for Tatsuki to finish her plate of assorted fruit.
They were ready for their first round of snowboarding. Kaito, who was wearing a red jacket, had his red snowboard in his hand. Tatsuki retrieved her pink snowboard from the car. She gave a light grey snowboard to Ryosuke and a striking blue one to Keisuke. Keisuke looked at the blue snowboard in his hand and admired its graffiti design. He asked Tatsuki where she got it. Tatsuki smiled and told him to keep it if he liked it. Ryosuke tapped his brother's shoulder and told him that she was the one who drew it. Keisuke looked at her back unbelieving at his brother's words. He was wondering if his Aniki had gotten himself a treasure girl.
Tatsuki was enjoying her time, especially when she was racing with the two K guys. Ryosuke did two rounds with them and found himself a table in a nearby cafe. He was working on his fastest of public road theory again. It was a good time for the two Project D drivers to get along better. Ryosuke watched the three energetic kids raced down the slope. He saw how frustrated Keisuke was when he kept losing to the girl. Tatsuki was very good at sports. After a few hours, they returned to the resort hotel. Tatsuki was longing for onsen bath in her room. They met again in a Japanese restaurant in the resort for dinner. They then left the resort after their dinner. Keisuke told Tatsuki to come again next time. Tatsuki nodded. She told the two brothers that she had her concert at Tokyo Dome around mid-January. She could pass them some tickets if they wanted. Tatsuki thanked for hanging with her today. She watched them left before got into the house.
