Autumn famous mountain bike god is reborn

Unlike Ninomiya and Sakai who were waiting at the starting point, the atmosphere in EK-9 was as tacit and harmonious as ever.

Takahashi Ryosuke did not raise his eyes from the beginning to the end, focusing on the feeling of the body, and gave clear and clear messages.

"The third from the left is followed by the second from the left, 100 meters, the sixth from the right, 50 meters, the third from the right is followed by the sixth from the left."

The dense road section with hairpin bends is coming.

Fujiwara Takumi didn't blink, and responded quickly: "Understood."

Utilizing NEOVA tires with excellent grip, in front of this tightly connected and suddenly rushing sharp bend, Fujiwara Takumi used superb skills to the extreme, precisely controlling the EK with only a tiny steel wire separated -9.

In addition to the small braking range, he did not hesitate to let the body slide sideways at high speed, decelerate slightly during the slide, and once the front of the car was aligned with the apex of the bend, he used the superior acceleration performance of FF to get out of the drifting state and head towards the next sharp turn advance.

The huge amount of experience accumulated over the years has made Fujiwara Takumi familiar with the characteristics of various models, and quantitative changes have led to qualitative changes.

He knows that FF, a car with different lengths on the left and right axles, must minimize the reverse operation to drift at speeds exceeding 100 mph.

The drive shaft of the left front wheel is longer than that of the right. If the angle taken in the reverse kick is too large, it will undoubtedly be extremely difficult to twist the left front wheel back.If the situation is good, it will only lose a little speed, but when the front of his car is extremely close to the inner bend, a slight deviation may cause the high-speed car body to hit the guardrail.

"Squeak-"

The sound of sharp tires sounded, and the yellow and black EK-9 was like a ferocious shark, flicking its tail wantonly, rushing towards the apex without hesitation!

The scenery outside the window flew by quickly, and the sound of breaking through the air blocked by the glass was deafening.

The horizontal G force seems to be pushing the internal organs in a clockwise direction, which is the intensity that even the most thrilling roller coaster in the playground will bow down.

But no matter whether it was the driver Takumi Fujiwara who was concentrating on the driver, or Ryosuke Takahashi who was extremely focused on the pilot, not only did he not even sweat a drop, nor did he face the slightest effort.

Ryosuke Takahashi, who has always been calm and calm, even tasted the long-lost surge of adrenaline that melted the ice.

Even in Ubing Mountain Road, it was the first time that he sat on the assistant seat of Fujiwara Takumi and watched him perform amazing skills with ease. It would be a sweet dream worth sacrificing life—thoughts.

But for him, who is used to controlling everything and pursuing absolute rationality and data correctness, to entrust his life to another driver without reservation, it is really an incredible idea.

As soon as such an idea came into being, he regarded it as a rare impulse and put it on hold for the time being.

It wasn't until this moment that he realized the joy of being able to communicate with a driver with superb driving skills without any intermediary of words, unreservedly trust each other's judgment and control skills, and devote himself wholeheartedly to the track strategy dripping.

All five senses were mobilized, and together conveyed the comfort and satisfaction he felt when he drove the FC down Chicheng for the first time at full speed.

Such a tacit understanding, as if the souls of the two had an instant fusion.

At that moment, the always clear and calm self-awareness seemed to be occupied by Takumi with a gentle gesture.

Just like the legendary light chaser who is desperate for his life, he is favored by the light and walks with the light.

— Incredible.

Takahashi Ryosuke expressed his heartfelt emotion, but the voice of giving new instructions did not stop at all: "Left one, there is a pothole in the inner curve, pay attention to dodge. Left four, 80 meters, right four, right two, left six."

Fujiwara Takumi's reply was as calm as the previous 30 times: "Understood."

His eyes are slightly slanted, the right hand holding the steering wheel is only making tiny adjustments, and the left hand controlling the gear lever is as violent as an invading shower, pushing the party at a speed that cannot be captured by the naked eye, so flexible that even the mechanical ABS is willing to bow down Both feet, precisely control each pedal.

The EK-9 passed through the hairpin turns with ease and ease, as if it had been strolling here thousands of times.

"The last is a 320-meter uphill straight road, and the end turns around and returns."

No matter how high the intensity of a rally is, it is impossible for the whole process to be composed of continuous curves. There will always be a long straight road where drivers and navigators can rest for a while.

Different from straight roads that require distraction to control, long straight roads are simple road sections that can really step on the accelerator pedal and maximize the horsepower.

Right after saying this sentence, Takahashi Ryosuke heard a soft sigh from the headset clearly.

It was the driver whose driving skills could already be called unpredictable and better than the results of computer calculations, and finally relieved the tense nerves along the way.

"It ran very smoothly." Takahashi Ryosuke smiled and praised softly: "You are really amazing, Takumi."

As soon as the voice fell, the sound of breathing that had just been steady over there became messy in an instant.

wow...

Fujiwara Takumi's spirit hadn't completely relaxed yet, and he was caught off guard by the compliment he longed for most, and was at a loss for a while.

"Thank you, Mr. Ryosuke." He happily licked his somewhat dry lower lip, and said sincerely, "It's all thanks to Mr. Ryosuke for being the pilot, so that I can drive without distraction."

What Fujiwara Takumi said was completely from the heart.

Although others may not believe it, but in the first half of the journey, he was distracted to look after Mr. Ryosuke who was the navigator for the first time, worried that it would cause too much pressure on the other party.

But it turns out that Mr. Ryosuke is Mr. Ryosuke.

It's completely different from others.

In addition to driving skills, rally races also test physical and psychological endurance in long and arduous events.

If you only rely on one person completely, you may make a fatal mistake one day.

He is not so arrogant that he can participate in the WRC by fighting alone.

In fact, he is also looking forward to the day when he can meet a leader that he can trust with all his heart. The other party should have the strength to stand side by side with him, so that he can fight together and win the victory crown representing the world's top drivers together.

It's a pity that he didn't wait for that person until the day when the car accident destroyed everything.

Instead, after returning to this day ten years ago, he discovered that Mr. Ryosuke by his side was the existence he had been looking forward to for a long time.

Well.

Fujiwara Takumi thought regretfully, although he is very greedy and thick-skinned, it would be great if... Mr. Ryosuke could officially become his navigator and go to the world with him.

"Are you sure?" After a brief silence, the deep and pleasant voice suddenly entered his ears, as if with a faint smile: "I seem to have only served as your half-time leader member."

"Eh!"

Only then did Fujiwara Takumi realize in panic and embarrassment that he accidentally said what was in his heart just now!

In this case……

"Although it sounds too arrogant, maybe a little brazen."

Takumi Fujiwara spoke eagerly, relying on his body to instinctively steer the EK-9 to the end of the long straight road, draw a clean and neat arc around the plastic pile that symbolizes the end point, and beautifully complete the 180° turn around.

After turning around, it was a long straight road where he could rest temporarily. He seized this time and mustered up the courage to finish his words: "But my heart and wish are both true. If Mr. Ryosuke really prefers behind the scenes If you want to trade and control the overall situation, is Mr. Liangjie willing to consider and become my navigator? Of course, I am not referring to now. If Mr. Liangjie agrees, I will stay in China until Mr. Liangjie finishes his studies , go out together again."

The other end of the headset was always quiet, and the silence of Takahashi's house undoubtedly aggravated Fujiwara Takumi's anxiety.

After quickly finishing these words, only half of the long straight road remained.

He paused for a moment, and was about to put in more effort, and finally tried to persuade him, when there was a gentle chuckle from the other side.

"Fujiwara Takumi, you are such a strange person."

Takahashi Ryosuke said with a smile: "You should be the only one who would choose such an occasion, like a sudden whim, and let me make a life-long decision bluntly."

For a moment, he couldn't figure out what Mr. Ryosuke meant, Fujiwara Takumi was extremely nervous, and his face was almost flushed with embarrassment: "Well, I'm sorry..."

"Don't say anything to apologize." Takahashi Ryosuke said with a smile in his eyes, "In order not to affect the results of this test run, I will tell you the final decision after this run. "

Fujiwara Takumi froze for a moment.

As the long straight road in front of him came to an end, his demeanor quickly returned to the previous solemnity: "Yes."

Maybe it's because Fujiwara Takumi's familiarity with the track and the performance of the car is better than the beginning because he just ran a one-way trip.

Or maybe it is the top rally driver who has been advancing alone for a long time, eager to catch the bright and fleeting white comet, and hide in the car to guide himself.

The speed of the return journey has been greatly improved compared with the speed of the departure.

When Ninomiya and Sakai, who were waiting at the initial starting point, saw the EK-9 returning in such a short time in amazement, and stopped the stopwatch with trembling hands...

What they got was a terrifying number that made them unbelievable anyway, completely breaking all previous records.

After stopping the car, neither the driver nor the navigator got out of the car in a hurry.

I can happily discard all distracting thoughts in my mind, just listen to the calm voice that keeps coming into my ears, devote myself to driving, and control such a beast-like car to move forward at a high speed...

For Fujiwara Takumi, it is definitely an extreme enjoyment that has never been seen before.

After he took off the heavy helmet, the white face revealed was blushing slightly from being bored, and his breathing was still a little short.

His brain, which had been intentionally emptied, gradually regained his sanity at this time, and he recovered the important question that made him miss the most.

"That, Mr. Ryosuke..."

His heart was pounding and his eyes trembled slightly, but he still looked firmly at Ryosuke Takahashi beside him.

Ryosuke Takahashi has also taken off his helmet and neatly turned off the EK-9's camera and other equipment.

There was a slight smile on his handsome face, and Takumi's anxious face was reflected in his dark blue eyes.

The two stared at each other quietly, and it took some time before Takahashi Ryosuke opened his mouth again.

"Fujiwara Takumi."

His tone was slow, serious, and incredibly gentle.

Fujiwara Takumi had a vague premonition, and his eyes seemed to become brighter accordingly.

really.

What Mr. Ryosuke gave next was also the answer he most expected in his heart.

"I am willing. In fact, from the moment you ask, I will only give an affirmative answer." After giving the answer directly, Takahashi Ryosuke smiled gracefully and calmly, looking at the dumbfounded Takumi, Focused and said naturally: "I must thank you for perfectly presenting another completely different possibility in front of me, in a way that makes me feel extremely happy."

In Takumi's eyes, the scorching sun and the shadow brought by the windshield reflected each other on that extremely handsome face, and the tall and deep bridge of the nose seemed to be a clear dividing line.

Under the perfect corner, one side is the thrilling light, and the other side is the thrilling shadow.

"Mr. Ryosuke."

Takumi's bright brown eyes did not blink, and he murmured in a very soft voice, as if he was afraid of disturbing everything in front of him.

"The reason why I have to delay telling you until the end is not out of bad intentions to tease you."

Takahashi Ryosuke couldn't help explaining: "It's these more private words, I don't want to be recorded in the car recording device, just letting you hear it is enough."

That's why he immediately took off the helmet with the headset and turned off the equipment in the car.

Takumi: "..."

He was stunned for more than ten seconds before he had the terrifying cognition that "the words that made him blush before have been faithfully recorded in the EK-9's audio recording device".

God!

Rider Fujiwara, who was still invincible in the world just now, couldn't help but burst into red in an instant.

Obviously, he is someone who really has so many years of professional experience, so he should be more cautious!How can you be so careless that you need Mr. Ryosuke to remind you!

Poor Takumi's mind was in chaos, filled with incomparable annoyance.

He also didn't realize at all that the words that came out of his mouth were completely serious.

The real culprit was obviously the navigator on the co-pilot who seemed to be able to do a job with ease.

And the only other being in the car who knew this was staring at the red-faced him with a smile at this moment, and didn't kindly remind him of this.

Perhaps from the day when he was defeated by this person, that kind of rebellious idea that could be called 'irrational' had sprouted.

Takahashi Ryosuke thought with a smile.

It's amazing.

He used to think that he just wanted to conquer a delicious prey. Akina 86 was only an opponent after all, except that his level was higher than all the opponents he had encountered.

But he didn't expect that things would unknowingly develop to the point where he was completely out of his rational control.

He actually wants to protect from the bottom of his heart, the panda Trueno who only shows a shy expression in front of him.

I want to participate in this miracle and reach the peak together with each other.

Perhaps, he also has to admit one thing.

Takahashi Ryosuke closed his eyes, feeling relieved.

What he likes about Fujiwara Takumi is probably... not just his driving skills.
