When we last left our intrepid Hiro, he had organized a race against the USA Champ, only to find himself blackmailed under a life or death threat to his girlfriend Kayo-chan, to ensure he places a bet to the current champion to retire, should Hiro win.

Still with us? Good.





: I wonder how he knows about Kayo- chan, but I'm not sure I'd be fooled by a guy like that.


: That's a shame.


: Is there any good way to do this?


…………..

: ………….

: That's right! If I go to the circuit tomorrow…. pretending to be talking to some guy named Cobra…


: Let's tell everyone about the phone call!


: Apparently Cobra has a lot of fans, so I'll tell them about this too!


: He wouldn't even lay a hand on Kayo-chan.


: And when I defeat Cobra and return to Japan, I can protect Kayo-chan!



Ah yes… the old tattle method. What have we got to lose?

…Y’know, besides Kayo-chan’s life…





: This is it! I'm smart!



Uh, do you really want to call this guy on his bluff Hiro?


: Ok, I'll do my best tomorrow!



Okay, then. It seems Hiro's pretty proud of himself for this tattle idea. I guess we'd better start preparing for this race, and…


*Bring Bring*





: Yes, it’s Hiro…


: Hmmmm… There's one more thing I forgot to tell you.






: Kiki-sama! Why did you have this phone number?



Huh. I'm guessing Dr Claws actual name is Kiki-sama?

… I'm going to keep calling him Dr Claw.


: I told you I knew everything. Listen to this voice









: Hiro-kun, help me!


: That voice is... Asami!!


: What on earth happened?! Where are you now?


: I don't know, I was suddenly grabbed by several men, blindfolded and brought here!



Jesus. Dr Claw really wants Cobra to retire, huh? Is he going to kidnap and threaten everyone of Hiro's friends?

Whatever you do Dr Claw, please leave Charlie out of this .


: Hiro, listen to what this person has to say!


: Otherwise I'll be raped!!


: Ah, stop, stop!!!



:stare: :stare: :stare:


: Asami-san!! What's wrong, Asami-san!!


: Hehehe, I guess. Don't even think about going against me.



This is all extremely elaborate and evil way of getting one of your racers to retire, Dr Claw. Perhaps you could consider a better method than threatening all the women in this game..


: Kiki-sama, you're dirty! Give me back Asami-san!


: I'll give her back to you. If you keep your promise…


: I told you I'd protect you!


: It would be bad if you changed your mind and told Cobra…. This beautiful woman is insurance


: If you don't want to scratch this woman's pretty face, It's about keeping your promises


: The more I look at her, the more amazing she is...


: I get it, I'll definitely keep my promise. So don't lay a finger on her. That's nice!


: Hehehe, that's great. I won't tell anyone about this. So I'm looking forward to tomorrow…



*click*


: Damn, even Asami got caught, it can't be helped.


: I guess I have no choice but to do what he says...



:suspense:


The stakes just get higher and higher... tomorrow, we'll have to face off against Cobra, to save Asami's life!
