: That’s strange… It was such a good performance.


: Let’s get Gunn to take a look.






: What’s wrong? Your face is getting better.



Uhh… thanks, I guess? I assume that was a general comment about the time Hiro got beaten up… 50 races / a year / one montage ago…





: Dad, take a look at my car.



Hey, excuse me buddy we were talking to… Wait - it’s BOWIE - we haven’t seen this guy since the intro!


: Wait a minute!


: Actually, the car stalled during the race.


: Dad, take a look at my car!



Gah - can't this guy… leave us alone for a minute?

I guess Stubborn Gan-San appears to be everyone’s dad.


: That noisy guy is the last one to be looked at. Which one should I look at first?


: Idiot! There’s no gasoline in the tank! Check the entrance fee before running!


: What? There was no gasoline in it?


: That’s strange. I checked…



Well that would explain the fact we stalled. Did we just get stitched up by our new friend? Did he let our fuel out before the race?

Surely not.

Well, we’ll just need to schedule another race with him…


:phoneb:Bring... Bring




: This is Hiro, ranked 6th. I want to race again.


: Yes, I understand. Then it will be January 3rd. Is this ok?


: Got it.
