Super Fighting Tokyo

Chapter 104 A Refreshing Weekend

The brother and sister ate in a makeshift kitchen, which was relatively simple.

Judging from the construction progress, it shouldn't be long before we can start researching the interior decoration of our new home.

"Hot spring resorts and water parks..."

Yusa held the stack of invitation tickets, looking them over from left to right. "Can these two projects be combined?"

While clearing away the dishes, Bai Mucheng replied, "It's said that they're all owned by the same person, who is also a member of the Shenxin Society. They regularly sponsor invitation tickets, and everything is available in a large venue."

"Not bad, bro, you've expanded your network!"

Yusa smiled and estimated the number of people who might come, but Shiraki Cheng moved her and her chair aside, saying, "Go do your homework first. I'll deliver the invitations tomorrow. You can just wait to go and have fun this weekend."

Arisa raised her hand and shouted—

"Alas!"

……

……

Two days later, on the weekend, early in the morning.

A temporary fighting arena was set up next to the construction site in the Shiraki family's yard.

This is one of the venues that was planned long ago to be used as an "exchange battle arena". The ground has been covered with sand and has taken its initial shape.

Since it is a "fighting arena", there will naturally be "fighters".

Shiraki and Maruk stood on opposite sides of the arena, barefoot and in fighting stances, ready to begin.

Arisa, holding a stopwatch, stood at the edge of the arena, set it to a three-minute countdown, then raised her right hand, took a deep breath, and signaled to the two people inside.

"Everyone is in position, ready-"

“Fight!!”

Ode!
Bai Mucheng stood sideways, pushed off the ground with his hind leg, and lunged forward.

【Charge with Fighting Spirit】!
Maruk's eyes twitched slightly as he stared intently at Shiramu Cheng's movements. The instant the opponent stepped into his attack range, he unleashed a decisive straight punch.

Just as Maruk threw his punch, Shiraki suddenly stopped, raised his arms, and assumed a defensive stance.

boom!
Maruk's straight punch landed on Shiramoto's forearm, but did not budge it in the slightest.

Missing his first punch, Maruk decisively threw a second one.

Bai Mucheng seized the opportunity, turned to the side and raised his forearm, trying to use his left wrist to deflect Maruk's fist, but the "force" on that fist disrupted his rhythm, and he watched as the fist was about to hit his forehead.

—?!

Seeing that things were not going well, Bai Mucheng bent his knees and leaned back, drawing a circle on the spot in a half-kneeling position. He quickly took a step back, half-clenched his fist, and turned around to assume a drunken fist stance.

[Jamie's Drunken Spin]!
despair!
As Bai Mucheng stood still, Maruk pursued him, launching a series of punches and kicks that struck Bai Mucheng with muffled thuds.

With that superhuman body of the modified soldier, the continuous strikes he unleashed were astonishing in both speed and power.

Shiramu Cheng's posture was further suppressed, making him almost unable to move.

The next instant, Shiramu suddenly changed his posture, using the outside of his shoulder to take Maruk's punch, then twisting his waist to deflect it, causing Maruk's movements to deviate briefly.

But just as Shiraki was about to give chase, Maruk, relying on his monstrous fighting instincts, braced himself with one hand, flipped over, and delivered a high kick to Shiraki's chest.

boom!
Shiraki and Maruk each took a large step back, regained their footing, and their breathing became steady.

...Beep beep beep!

The countdown ended with a sound.

Arisa stopped the stopwatch and said, "Okay, that's enough!"

"..."

The two players stopped practicing, took towels from Yusa to wipe their sweat, and ended their timed sparring session this morning.

"Big brother is so awesome!"

Maruk drank the warm water, enjoying the feeling of sweating. He couldn't help but exclaim, "I've learned a lot lately, but I can't keep up with my older brother at all!"

In contrast, Shiraki Cheng seemed somewhat unsatisfied.

"not enough……"

Shiraki Cheng drank water, recalling the feeling of his previous battle with Guji Katsumi, especially the [Fighting Spirit Parry and Defense] he used in that brief moment.

During his recent sparring session with Maruk, Shiraki made several attempts, but none of them were completely successful.

That kind of focused defensive state, as if able to withstand any attack, cannot be achieved by luck alone; it still requires further refinement to seize the crucial "moment."

……

……

Shiraki and Maruk stretched to dry off, then quickly washed up.

A short while later, a motorcycle drove up and parked in the yard. A short-haired girl jumped down from it; it was Wu Fengshui, wearing a crisp T-shirt.

"Good morning!" Wu Fengshui blinked his dark, white eyes and looked around. "Hmm, hasn't the rest arrived yet? Who else did Bai Muqin invite?"

“Some registered members, and other friends, after all, there are a lot of invitation tickets, but some people can’t make it and won’t go with us.”

“For example, Garuda—she’s going to buy a birthday present for her great-grandfather today, and she’s already told Arisa about it.”

Bai Mucheng glanced at the time. "It's about this time. We should be arriving soon, right?"

"..."

A moment later, three people walked out from the street corner.

The underground women's fighting group "Valkyrie" is led by boss Nozomi Tenma, her partner, a delinquent cop and childhood friend, Kazuka Iori, and a current Valkyrie fighter, Yuba Li.

The three chatted and laughed all the way to Shiraki's house and greeted the four people in the yard.

"Good morning, Brother Shiraki."

Pegasus was wearing a casual hoodie, but his eyes still looked tired. This was partly due to his old retinal detachment injury, and partly because he was probably busy with Valkyrie's affairs.

Just a week ago, the first elimination tournament of the women's combat team "Valkyrie" was successfully held and concluded.

Four female fighters, including Li Youba, competed on the same stage, with "Revolution Princess" Hongo Hina winning the final victory and becoming the champion.

After this battle, Valkyrie became a rising star group with some fame, and gradually grew in popularity, attracting more and more fans willing to spend money.

Therefore, Tianma hopes to be extremely busy.

On the other side, Iori Kazuka also looked exhausted. Apparently, she had been working overtime every day at the Metropolitan Police Department and couldn't seem to finish her work. Even the ahoge (cowlick) on her head had drooped down.

Since they rarely had the chance to relax on the weekend, the two readily accepted Shiraki's invitation.

As for Li Youba, although he had a wound on his forehead—reportedly from Hongo Hina's decisive blow—he remained as energetic as ever, full of vitality.

"Wow! Thank you for the hospitality!"

"..."

Bai Mucheng greeted them, then asked, "Where are the others?"

"Hana's yakuza club has something going on, and Hime's foot is injured and she can't go out—the two of them plan to go out another day."

Pegasus waved his hand, "As for Valkyrie's other two newcomers, one has an injured arm and the other has a conspicuous tattoo, which makes things a bit inconvenient."

……

……

All seven people on the trip arrived, and Shiraki Cheng had rented a van in advance, so the group drove off.

Meanwhile, in a yakuza agency, a large, heavy hand gripped a water park admission ticket, exuding an aura of resentment.

Beside him, Kizaki, his head spinning, forced himself to explain.

"There's no other way, General. People like us from the underworld can't go to that place. And we can't do what you did in school, wearing a full swimsuit to cover up our tattoos. People will definitely notice us..."

Kaoru Hanayama: "..."

Kaoru Hanayama: "..."

Unhappy.

He clenched his fists, turning the invitation into a hard "stick," and finally sighed helplessly, deciding to visit Bai Mucheng another day.

……

……

The water park that everyone was going to was a well-known landmark in Tokyo, and it occasionally hosted festivals and celebrations. It covered a very large area.

Getting a free VIP invitation here is a wonderful thing.

Tenma and Iori Kazuka, childhood friends, were quite happy, feeling they could have a refreshing weekend and relieve the fatigue from recent work.

After changing into their swimsuits, the two girls, along with three other girls, entered the members-only bathing area through the VIP entrance.

But as they searched around, intending to meet up with Shiraki and Maruk first, they suddenly bumped into a group of karate practitioners lined up in neat rows, each one incredibly strong.

The person in the lead was Mo Tanghou, who was earnestly instructing the members of the Divine Heart Society who had come here to study.

"In short, before we go into the water, let's warm up with a set of high-level straight punches!"

"drink!"

"ah!"

Dozens of people simultaneously threw punches, creating a tremendous and awe-inspiring force. This had nothing to do with a "refreshing weekend" and was even more stressful than a weekday, leaving no room for relaxation.

Tianma Hope: "..."

Iori Kazuka: "..."

The two exchanged a glance, then suddenly remembered something crucial—

Hiss—! Didn't Shiraki-kun say this was an invitation ticket to the Shinshin-kai...?
