Super Fighting Tokyo.

3, 2, 1...

-1!

Shiraki crossed the finish line before Doppo, but because he was going too fast, he couldn't stop and couldn't reach the "finish button".

Swish!

He swept past the button and crashed headfirst into an advertising board a dozen meters behind him, knocking the huge sign over with a clatter and causing him to fall flat on his face.

"Aha……"

Bai Mucheng lay sprawled amidst the chaos, rolled over onto his back, and exhaled a large breath of hot air in exasperation.

He watched as Yu Di jogged all the way to the finish line, calmly pressed the button, and won the obstacle course race.

"It's a victory for player number three (OB)!"

The host exclaimed loudly, quite surprised by the result, "It's such a pity about contestant number one, Shiraki Cheng, but contestant number two, Kosei, also performed very well!"

"Let's give a round of applause to the three winners! Prizes and souvenirs will be distributed shortly..."

"..."

Amid cheers and applause, Dubu walked over, took Shiramu Cheng's hand, and pulled him up from the ground.

"call--!"

Shiraki Cheng let out a long sigh of relief, told the staff that he was fine, and then put his arm around Ooji Doppo and went to the side.

"OB also means 'old hand,' Brother Shiraki."

Du Bu raised an eyebrow and said leisurely with a smile, "Do you know why you lost?"

Bai Mucheng grinned, waiting for the "Martial God" mini-class to begin.

Dobu raised his fist, which was clenched in reverse, and said with a smile, "When I realized I couldn't outrun you, I chose to force you to 'attack quickly,' making you sprint at a faster speed and causing you to miss the decisive opportunity."

"Whether it's sports or martial arts, the speed of the move is key, but the timing is equally important. The right timing will yield the best results."

"..."

"Whether it's faster or slower, nothing beats finding the right balance?"

After listening, Shiraki nodded thoughtfully, "You're really impressive, Mr. Doppo..."

"Of course, after all, I have to win for her sake!"

Dobu grinned, slapped Bai Mucheng aside, and then opened his arms to greet his wife, Xia Hui, who was walking towards him.

"Ouch!"

Xia Hui was clearly a little shy, but she couldn't refuse at all, and was pulled into Du Bu's arms.

After struggling to no avail, Xia Hui smiled helplessly and said, "Little Dubu, my Superman..."

The elderly couple cuddled for a while, but before they could finish their stroll, Xia Hui thought of two other young people.

She smiled and suggested, "As for the prize, let's give it to those two kids as a gift to thank them for playing with you."

Dobu put his arm around his wife's shoulder and said, "Okay, I'll do whatever you say."

The two turned to look at the distance.

"..."

Bai Mucheng has already joined up with Wu Fengshui.

Wu Fengshui opened his black-and-white eyes and looked at Bai Mucheng, who was covered in dirt—especially with a speck of dirt on the tip of his nose—and couldn't help but chuckle.

Upon hearing this, Bai Mucheng couldn't help but slap his thigh and burst into laughter.

This is so much fun!

The laughter of the boys and girls drifted by, making Doppo and Natsume laugh along with them.

"Ha ha……"

Dobu grinned and said, "I think we shouldn't send gifts. This little regret is quite nice."

Xia Hui smiled and nodded.

……

……

The event ended, and everyone went home.

After saying goodbye to Natsume, Doppo took his leave, and Rito went on with his work.

Bai Mucheng washed his face and prepared to go with Wu Fengshui to find You Sha and Maruk to meet up and find a restaurant for dinner.

Wu Fengshui stretched, "Hmm! It's a bit of a shame I didn't get the sunglasses..."

"indeed."

Shiraki Sei felt the same way. After looking around, he suddenly noticed a lottery booth nearby, where the grand prize was the same pair of glasses.

"Hey, it's guy number one! Want to give it a try?"

The stall owner greeted them warmly, "Although it's hard to win the grand prize, winning some souvenir tissues is not bad!"

Shiramu Cheng: "..."

Wu Fengshui: "..."

The two exchanged a glance, then sprinted away, carrying Yusa from the next street and pinning her to the lottery booth.

And just like that, the owner's stall lost the jackpot.

……

……

Shiraki Sei, Wu Fengshui, You Sha, Maruk —

The four of them, each wearing sunglasses and carrying large and small bags, had a great time and then took a car back to the Fighting Spirit Martial Arts Hall.

After arriving home, the four of them discussed the specific arrangements for this trip.

The summer festival in Kure is a grand event that takes several days to prepare and warm up beforehand, with the climax being the fireworks display on the night of the festival.

According to the plan of Arisa, Kozue, Garuda, and Hongo Hime, they intended to go on the day of the "Fireworks Festival", stay overnight in Kure no Sato, and return to Tokyo the next day.

As free individuals, Shiraki Sei and Wu Fengshui's schedules don't need to be so tight.

"Shiraki and I will go to Kure no Sato first—there are many fun places there, and we can also help prepare for the festival. We'll meet up again on the day of the event."

Wu Fengshui patted Maruk on the shoulder and said with a smile, "While we're away, the martial arts school will be in your and Yousha's care!"

Maruk nodded vigorously, "Maruk can clean and do accounting! For example, you can buy anything for fifty yen..."

Wu Fengshui: "..."

Shiraki tossed Maruk a large bag of potato chips, worth fifty yen.

To be fair, the Fighting Spirit Martial Arts School doesn't need special care, but if only his younger sister and Maruk are left at home, Shiramu Cheng will still miss them.

At this point, it's necessary to ask a super reliable older brother to occasionally take care of and check on things to prevent any extremely unusual or unexpected events from occurring.

Bai Mucheng, having found a suitable candidate, opened the martial arts school gate and shouted loudly towards the outside:

"Brother Qianchun—!!"

Chapter 263 The Journey

Shiba Chiharu —

The second-generation leader of the biker gang "Ikuyo Mu," a special operations captain known for his fighting skills.

My idol is "the world's number one fighter" Kaoru Hanayama!

He often patrols the area on his bicycle and is a familiar face at the Fighting Spirit Martial Arts Academy.

Although he doesn't come to train, he occasionally hits the punching bag, swinging his fists wildly as a non-martial arts novice to vent his frustrations.

Asking him to occasionally look after the Fighting Spirit Martial Arts School would be perfect.

"Leave it to me, everyone!"

Chai Qianchun received many thank-you gifts, including an extra pair of limited-edition sunglasses, which made her quite touched.

Being a man of principle, he immediately patted his chest and said, "You can do a good job running a shop as long as you have perseverance!"

Bai Mucheng gave a thumbs up.

Wu Fengshui chuckled dryly a few times, then whispered in Shiraki-chan's ear, "Is everything alright? Actually, it's fine to leave it to Arisa and Maruk..."

Bai Mucheng, however, had his own thoughts: "I still prefer the Fighting Spirit Martial Arts Hall to be more lively. The feeling of it being cold and quiet is uncomfortable."

Wu Fengshui strongly supports this point.

Coincidentally, Kazuo Yamashita came to exercise again and was warming up on the treadmill.

To express his gratitude, Chai Qianchun offered to host the event, and everyone eagerly awaited the outcome.

"..."

"This guy looks really hard-working!"

Chai Qianchun put his hands on his hips, leaned down, and brought his face close to Yamashita Kazuo, smiling leisurely: "It's clear that you've become much stronger since you were building the wall."

"—That's right!"

"Strive to do things without feeling any guilt, maintain this spirit, and you will become stronger and stronger. It's never too late to start!"

Mr. Yamashita: "..."

Yamashita Kazuo: "Huh?"

He had just finished accompanying Wang Ma to the hospital for a check-up and was about to work up a sweat on the treadmill when he unexpectedly ran into a familiar-looking member of the biker gang.

"Ha ha……"
