Super Fighting Tokyo.

"Thank you so much, Brother Bai Mu. I've tracked down Spek's whereabouts. I'll send you the location now."

After a pause, Ichiwa added, "Although the Metropolitan Police Department will take action, unexpected events cannot be ruled out, so whatever you do, you'd better be careful."

"……Ha ha!"

Hearing this, Bai Mucheng couldn't help but laugh. "Not bad, great! That's a normal person's reaction!"

Iori Kazuka: "..."

Iori Kazuka: "...Huh?"

Shiraki sighed helplessly, "Leaving aside Brother Mushi for now, the others—Arisa, Garuda, Brother Suedang, Brother Kizaki, and this person next to me..."

“I wasn’t going to do anything ‘normal,’ but you didn’t even ask me and just went along with my nonsense, making it seem like you were all acting crazy. How uncomfortable is that?”

"If you're worried, you should talk it out. It's not good to suppress your feelings. I'm not used to that kind of thing the most."

"..."

"Really? After all, they are all very understanding, while I'm just too lazy to think about it because I've been working too much overtime."

Iori Kazuka took a deep breath, as if he were taking a big drag on his cigarette, "But speaking of which, Shiraki-kun, since you're going to fight, then fight us to the bitter end!"

"Great, fantastic!"

Shiraki Cheng finally felt a bit better. Looking at the location sent by Iori Kazuka, it was a secluded park somewhere in Shinjuku.

He jumped up from the ground and beckoned to Wu Fengshui, who was lying on his back, "Want to come along?"

"Okay!"

Wu Fengshui stood up, slung his backpack over his shoulder, walked to his motorcycle, patted the fuel tank, and asked, "Bai Muqin, can you ride it?"

Bai Mucheng was eager to try, but ultimately shook his head honestly.

Wu Fengshui grinned, "I'll teach you on the way."

The two got on their bikes one after the other, and Yusha and Garuda in the yard also set off for the hospital.

……

……

The locomotive roared all the way.

Wu Fengshui was very happy, "Going to the park late at night feels really good!"

Shiramu Cheng sat on the back of the motorcycle and thought about it carefully. "It seems so. It feels like a date?"

"Huh?"

Wu Fengshui blew a strand of hair away from the corner of his mouth, a kind of ordinary happiness in his eyes. "But going on a date to the park is too retro, it feels so naive."

Bai Mucheng thought this made a lot of sense. "So what do you think is good?"

After careful consideration, Wu Fengshui replied, "My home."

Shiramu Cheng: "..."

As evening approached and darkness fell, the motorcycle was parked in the park's parking lot.

Bai Mucheng and Wu Fengshui got off the car and walked forward.

As the two arrived at the entrance and were about to go inside, they encountered two more people, a man and a woman, who also wanted to go into the park.

Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be an old acquaintance—

The underground fighting arena's "champion" Baki Hanma, and his girlfriend "Koie Matsumoto" whom he is dating.

The backs of their hands touched lightly, still tentatively exploring each other, before they could actually hold hands.

They looked up and saw Bai Mucheng and Wu Fengshui walking towards them, and were also taken aback.

"Aha!"

Bai Mucheng looked at the young boy and girl and felt that the scene before him was quite rare.

He put his hand on Wu Fengshui's shoulder, slapped his thigh hard with his other hand, and laughed so hard he couldn't stop, exclaiming how funny it was.

"Look, look! Just like you said, that's a couple on a date in the park this evening—a sweet and retro couple!"

Chapter 166 Two Couples Holding Hands

One day, at the coffee shop run by Yoruhime Koichi.

[The Eccentric] Mitsuyo Koishi was chatting with an old friend when the topic of love came up.

Mushi asked with a smile:

What are young people who have just started dating most afraid of encountering when they go out on a date?

"A yakuza thug looking for trouble? Of course, of course..."

"But if the boy in love is a champion in underground fighting, who can easily beat thugs to a pulp, what would he be most afraid of encountering?"

There are at least two answers—

Mu Shi grinned from ear to ear.

"Firstly, it's because they're overly concerned about their own child and are therefore following the past parents."

"Secondly, it is 'acquaintances'."

"—Especially, I'm afraid of running into 'acquaintances who are also on a date' during the ambiguous stage of a relationship."

Mu Shi suddenly recalled an interesting story he had heard not long ago and added to it.

"What's even more terrifying is that the boy and girl encountered this pair of 'acquaintances'..."

"One of them has a problematic view on love, influenced by his family; the other is incredibly easygoing and, like his sister, is a social butterfly."

"Even the strongest teenager on earth would be in for a world of trouble if he ran into a pair of acquaintances like this! Hahaha..."

……

……

Let's go back to the present.

As evening approached, the sky gradually darkened.

Shinjuku.

In front of the city park.

Baki Hanma, the champion of the underground arena, looked up at the Shiraki Sei and Wu Fengshui not far ahead, who were chatting and laughing.

Strictly speaking, Baki and Shiraki Sho did not officially meet, but Kozue and Shiraki Sho were very familiar with each other, and Baki had also talked with Shiraki Sho's younger sister.

Moreover, Shiraki and Baki had seen each other from afar in the underground arena that night, so for those who are naturally outgoing, the two could be considered acquaintances.

Two pairs of people with all sorts of messy connections just happened to meet.

Blade Ya: "..."

Blade Ya: "..."

The boy blinked, revealing a look of bewilderment that would never have appeared during a battle.

"that……"

Before Baki could speak, Shiraki raised his hand to greet him first, "Yo, Champion, good evening!"

"Ah, good evening."

Baki was a little embarrassed, so he took the initiative to change the subject and stepped forward to shake hands with Shiraki, saying, "The match that night was very exciting."

Bai Mucheng thanked him, but before he could say anything else, Wu Fengshui suddenly spoke up and forcibly brought the topic back.

"Haha, Kozue and Baki—you two know each other, huh? Are you on a date?"

"..."

Upon hearing the question, Koji blushed slightly, unsure how to respond.

But after a moment of silence, Baki Hanma suddenly answered, "That's right."

The boy looked at Koe beside him earnestly, "Although we're neighbors living next door, I feel a little embarrassed, but it's really true—"

“I’ve wanted to invite her for a long time, ever since I started thinking about it.”

"..."

Upon hearing this, Kozue secretly glanced at Baki a few times, then chuckled and sighed softly, "He's really amazing, whether it's his fighting skills or his ability to make me happy..."

"..."

"Great, fantastic!"

Bai Mucheng grinned and gestured to Wu Fengshui, "Am I right? They're the kind of innocent yet retro couple, with a simple and beautiful feeling."

"indeed!"

Wu Fengshui clasped his hands together and said with a smile, "But the more couples are like this, the faster their relationship will develop. After all, it's a natural progression, and they can do it as long as they want to."

"—Whether it's a date invitation or anything else, it's fine."

"..."

Both Shiraki Sei and Wu Fengshui are older than Baki and Shoe.

In addition, given their personalities, neither of them is "normal" when it comes to romance, so Baki and Kozue are somewhat at a loss for words.

In short—

Baki looked at Kozue beside him, "How about we go for a walk in the park first?"

"Mm." Koe nodded gently.

The two walked ahead, while Bai Mucheng and Wu Fengshui followed behind them.

Perhaps it was to ease the awkwardness and tension, or perhaps both Baki and Kozue had made up their minds...
