I run a tofu shop, and you want me to go to Akina Mountain?

Chapter 327 Test the waters

So, Okuyama Hirono quickly made up his mind.

Looking at Ichiro Ibaraki's heavy expression, he persuaded him again: "Ibaraki, don't just focus on the little benefits in front of you.

We need to take a long-term view. If we can deal with Fujiwara Takumi, we can solve this problem once and for all.

Then no one will be able to surpass you, and you will always be number one. Isn’t that what you want?"

After hearing this, Ichiro Ibaraki's expression finally relaxed.

Okuyama Hirono's words really touched him.

You can't hide forever, you have to face reality sooner or later.

So, following Okuyama's plan, he defeated Fujiwara Takumi in the match.

The two of them were relieved. Ibaraki Ichiro hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded, "Okay, since you said so, I have no reason to refuse."

"Then how do we invite him to participate?"

He must know that we don't get along, and he won't believe that we are pretending to be nice and inviting him on purpose.

How do you think you can get him to take the bait?

When Ibaraki Ichiro asked this, Okuyama Hirono was full of confidence: "It is unlikely that I will be able to invite him, but it is different for you. You two haven't completely fallen out yet, so he may not be suspicious. So as long as you send an invitation, we will have a chance to get rid of him during the game."

After listening to Okuyama's plan, Ichiro Ibaraki thought about it and felt it was reliable. After all, as Okuyama said, he and Fujiwara Takumi had not completely fallen out yet. If he invited him to participate, the probability of success was quite high.

Thinking of this, Ichiro Ibaraki's blood boiled and he was full of anticipation. After all, this was the only chance to get rid of the biggest worry in his heart, so how could Ichiro Ibaraki let it go.

So, after saying goodbye to Hirono Okuyama, Ichiro Ibaraki sent an invitation to Takumi Fujiwara, hoping to invite him to participate in a racing competition.

But at that time, Fujiwara Takumi and Uehara Mika were having a great time in the club in Akina Mountain.

Therefore, he never saw the invitation sent by Ichiro Ibaraki, and did not respond to Ibaraki for a long time.

Ichiro Ibaraki was so anxious waiting here, he was totally confused. He heard from others that Fujiwara Takumi always responded to messages very quickly, why was he as slow as a snail?

Despite this, Ibaraki Ichiro was very patient. Even if Fujiwara Takumi did not reply immediately, he still insisted on waiting because he knew that Fujiwara Takumi would always struggle when making a decision. But they did not know that Ibaraki Ichiro was so confident because he was playing in Akina Mountain with Uehara Mika at the moment.

However, as the night grew darker, the two stopped playing.

After all, the coolness in the mountains became more and more obvious as night fell, and they all felt that it was time to go home to avoid catching a cold.

At this time, Uehara Mika suggested: "Fujiwara Takumi, it's getting late, we should go back."

Fujiwara Takumi naturally had no objection after hearing this. After all, he was indeed in a rather impetuous mood today.

"That's right, it's time to go back. Let's leave now."

As soon as they finished speaking, the two of them set out on their way home. But halfway through, they ran into another member of the Akina Mountain Club.

Fujiwara Takumi and Uehara Mika were both a little surprised to see this person.

"Hojo Rin, why are you here too?"

Hojo Rin sneered when he heard this: "Why, you guys can come but I can't?"

"Akina Mountain is not owned by your family. As a member of the club, why can't I come here?"

After hearing this, Fujiwara Takumi and Uehara Mika felt a little helpless.

They had no intention of laughing, but they didn't expect Hojo Rin to be so sensitive.

Realizing that the other party had misunderstood, they also felt the need to explain clearly.

So, just as Fujiwara Takumi and Uehara Mika were about to apologize, Hojo Rin suddenly laughed.

"Haha, I'm just kidding. Can't you hear that? Of course I know what you mean. It's rare to meet each other, so why don't we get together? Let's go and have a drink."

Fujiwara Takumi and Uehara Mika felt mixed emotions after hearing this.

This guy really acted like that just now and successfully fooled them, and now he’s doing this again.

If it weren't for the fact that they were fairly familiar with Hojo Rin, the two of them would have almost come to blows.

After all, this kind of prank was really infuriating, and they had a hard time suppressing their impulse.

Hojo Rin seemed to sense the anger in their eyes, and quickly took a step back, crossed his arms and said, "What do you want to do? I'm telling you, hitting someone is against the law!"

"Alright, alright, let's go. If you want to drink, just drink. Don't keep talking nonsense. If you keep talking nonsense, we are afraid that we will lose control and break the law!"

Finally, Fujiwara Takumi waved his hand, indicating that the matter was over.

After all, if he continued to argue, he was really worried that he would not be able to resist attacking Hojo Rin, which was really too annoying.

Hojo Rin was immediately satisfied when she heard what Fujiwara Takumi said, so the three of them went to the bar together.

Hojo Rin and Fujiwara Takumi met during the last competition. He was impressed by Fujiwara's strength and always admired him. He wanted to invite him for a drink before, but unfortunately he failed to do so. This opportunity was rare, so how could he let it go easily?

Fujiwara Takumi knew what was going on, so the three of them quickly arrived at the bar.

As soon as they arrived at the bar, Hojo Rin suggested, "Fujiwara Takumi, there is a world-class racing competition that is more thrilling than the three-track race. Are you interested? If you are interested, we can go and try it out together."

As soon as Hojo Rin said this, Fujiwara Takumi suddenly became interested.

After all, he is a racing driver, and he always yearns for dangerous and exciting things. Now that there is such a world-class stage, he naturally does not want to miss it, but before that, he plans to learn more about it.

"World-class competition? How come I have never heard of it? Can you tell me more about it? I will consider it after I understand it."

Hojo Rin smiled when he heard Fujiwara Takumi say that. He knew Fujiwara Takumi too well, and this tone was basically equivalent to agreement. So, Hojo Rin told him everything about the game and asked him to prepare in advance.

In the following time, Hojo Rin introduced the rules of the world-class competition to Fujiwara Takumi and Uehara Mika in detail. After all, to participate in the competition, you must first understand the rules, otherwise if you violate the rules, the trophy will fly away.

At their level, they are not really interested in prizes, but they are still quite keen on competing for rankings. After all, winning the championship is always their primary goal, but there is always someone stronger than the strongest.

Even though they aim for the first place, they cannot always win the title, because there are too many masters in the world, and even they cannot guarantee a win every time.

What's more, this is a world-class competition, and one can imagine how many top masters it will attract.

With this title alone, it would be a tough battle to win the championship, but they are quite calm. It doesn't matter if they can't win the championship. The important thing is to participate. Of course, the ranking can't be too embarrassing, otherwise it will also damage their reputation.

"Uehara Mika, are you interested in participating?"
