Alright. Time to take this baby to the track! To keep up the tradition with naming his cars after women, Hiro’s named her ‘Skye’.
:
The Zero Yon Race is now on!
:
Don’t be nervous!
:
The opponent of the first round is ranking 88th.
Like March and Sarah before her, Skye doesn't really stand a chance against the tuned competition. But with a helpful injection of cash, courtesy of another 6 months of aging Hiro, we're able to modify her to a force to be reckoned with.
These Group D clowns won't know what hit them…
First up, a Bluebird SSS for Rank 85…
Oooh… that was a close one!
:
All right Good job.
:
The opponent of the second wave is ranking is 82nd.
:
At the starting line, please follow me.
:
Alright good job. With this you’ll win in one go.
Now, a Silvia...
He didn’t stand a chance against Skye!
:
The opponent of the second wave is ranking is 82nd.
Ooh it’s a Celica - presumably a GT40 - the AWD Turbo Spicy version of the Celica.
Boy, that was close. We won by a miniscule .05 seconds!
:
Hiro! It’s current ranking is 77th.
:
Alright good job. With this you’ll win in one go.
:
The race has concluded.
:
Congratulations Hiro - the donation is 40,000 yen.
:
Well from now on, I’m Zero Yon King. .
:
A beautiful message to Yoshimasa Iwamoto.
:
We accept your words.
What on earth did that mean?
:
Hello, this is Iwamoto.
Wait a minute, who's this guy? This has never happened before.
Hang on Is that? *Looks at Magazine*
Yes it is…. It's the Zero Yong King! His name must be Iwamoto!
…He's so dreamy…
King appears to be standing on a podium, making an announcement.
:
Time flies and five years have passed since I became number one in the rankings.
:
I’m now 30 years old. It’s true that I thought about my true self.
:
But today, seeing everyone running so hot, that idea was blown away.
:
I love Shinsoko Zero Yon.
:
I definitely won’t bother unless someone faster than me shows up.
:
We will continue to invest in our cars and remain a formidable King.
:
Choose me from among all the others.
:
A great guy who will do it, will appear. I pray for that.
:
Please do your best, and get faster and faster abnormal.
:
Cool….
If I can hazard a translation, I think the King is saying he’s 30 years old now and sick of winning every race ever, so he’s going to stop competing unless somehow can beat his times.
Let's ensure that someone... is Hiro.
:
Ah, the King is here! Let’s get a hug!
:
Sorry
But first, it appears we want to give him a hug for his inspirational speech! How friendly of us.
Gah! That’s not the King. Is this his bouncer?
:
What the hell are you?
:
I want a hug…
:
What? A handjob? I’m so embarrassed. Just this once, see?
Uhhh… Sorry guy, I think this handjob, err, hug, was intended for the King...
:
No, it’s not you, it’s the King.
:
Do it, you idiot! There’s no way the King would shake hands with someone like you!
:
It’s easy for scum like you to get angry. I’m not the kind of person who can be called upon! Get out of here now!
I think this guy is arcing for a fight.
…You know what? I think we can take him. After all, we do spent the better part of our days beating the shit out of rats and book thieves.
Oh crap. He’s brought backup.
Uh oh, Hiro looks angry...
:
Mukkah is warm! What kind of king are you? I’ll break through and let you live as you wish!
:
What the hell?! That thug is just being all cocky!!
: Take that!
Oh! the screen shakes - we’re being attacked!
:
What are you guys doing? Stop it!
:
Are you okay? What’s your name?
Gah! What happened to Hiro’s face?
:
I’m Hiro. Someday I’ll break through you. I’m going to be number one in Japan!
:
Hiro. I’ll remember you. See you soon.
The king has disappeared, along with the thugs.
:
Ouch, ouch, ouch. He hit me with all his might.
Wait… is that… gentle, romantic music?
Whoah - it’s Arcade Girl!
:
Are you okay? That’s a terrible thing to do.
What on earth is she doing here?
:
Don’t get involved with the King’s secret body…
:
Do you want to reincarnate?
:
He’s the one who glared at you earlier. About 10 people are following the King. Apparently.
:
Rumor has it that the King is also annoyed because they are bad.
:
I see. It’s not the King’s fault.
:
But you should be careful. I wonder what kind of harassment those people are causing.
:
Because I don’t know if they’ll come.
Hiro seems to be mustering up the courage for something...
:
…Maybe this girl?
:
...Maybe there’s something wrong with me?
:
...Okay, let’s try inviting her…
:
...Ummm… if you don’t mind. I’d like to…
:
...Maybe…..
I’m presented with 3 options here:
Alright goons. Hiro’s hopeless with women. He needs some of your experience in this area.
Which option should we choose?
