Unfortunately, once again Hiro has found himself unable to beat his opponent.

This time around, the game does things a little differently. Rather than a single race, it does a best of three.

In our first race, King managed to pull sub 11 seconds. Damn he is fast!

Well I lost…

: Don’t be depressed just because you lost one piece!

: I’ll definitely get you through the second one!

: Starting line, please follow me.

He's even faster the second time. A poor shift on my part meant we were slower, but honestly we didn't attend a chance in the first place.

Well I lost…

But it was more powerful than the first one. It was like…

: I’m impressed. This race is long-awaited.

: Let’s put out some power, little by little.

: If it suddenly collapses, because there’s nothing left.

Is that so? Then what’s the next race?

: Next time I'll leave it even larger.

King was slower this round, but it didn't matter. Still faster than any time we were able to pull.

…That AWD V8 2000GT is a monster.

King is amazing after all…

I’m no match for someone like that.

Naturally Hiro’s feeling pretty down at the moment. How on earth are we supposed to compete with that?

: Idiot! If it makes you that weak, then just give up on Zero4!!

We’re given a choice.

I Won’t Stop.

Stop

Even with our best driving, the King is always half a second faster.

One of Kino's nitro jets would beat his time - but since it's a best of three race, we’ll need three of them… and they are extremely rare since the game only gives them out at random intervals, so that’s no good either.

…Gan-San can’t modify our car any further. It’s already super tuned...

…The only option here… is to replace the MR2 with something else...

…Obviously, I am going to choose Stop instead. It’s been a good run.

: Sorry, Gunn.

: It was just too much for me.

: I’m going back to the house, and I'm going to eat dinner.

: I see. I only knew you for a short time, but when things calm down, please send me a letter.
