Super Fighting Tokyo

Chapter 222 Souvenirs

Shiraki Shō's younger sister, Sakurai Arisa.

Her unique optimism amazed even great figures like Katahara Metsudo, King Larma XIII, and even the "Man of the Divine Realm," Akagi Shigeru.

Being with her is often very enjoyable because "good things" always seem to happen.

"..."

After saying "Good morning" to the guards, Arisa contacted the resident physician of the Fighting Spirit Martial Arts Academy, Sakurai Anne, and asked her to come and check on her again.

As dawn broke, everyone woke up one by one.

After a second examination by Anne Sakurai, the injured were found to be in good health, and most of them only needed simple treatment and then rest.

Meanwhile, the guards of Katahara Mitsudo also used the kitchen of the Fighting Spirit Martial Arts Hall to prepare breakfast for everyone.

……

……

After breakfast, while digesting.

With nothing else to do, the group went into the three-story building in the courtyard to tour the interior of the Fighting Spirit Martial Arts Hall.

Led by the martial arts school owner, Shiraki Sei, they chatted and laughed all the way.

In terms of scale, this place certainly doesn't have the grandeur of the nine-story "Shinshin-kai Headquarters," but the details are quite well done, and you can see Shiraki Cheng's enthusiasm.

"Ouch~!"

Upon entering the corridor, Dobu immediately spotted his autographed photo—the one he had given to Shiramu Cheng back at the water park.

"The frame is nice! I should have chosen a more handsome photo..."

"..."

Not far away, King Larma XIII, also in high spirits, was visiting other decorations accompanied by Gaoran.

"Is this Tokugawa Mitsunari's folding fan? It even has the Tokugawa family crest on it. It seems he really likes Shiraki-kun."

"Huh? This is..."

Lalma noticed a thick, twisted iron plate at the corner of the stairs, with a conspicuous fist mark on it.

As Yusa explained its origins, Lalma nodded in understanding.

"I see. I've heard of that 'Tiger' before. He has a 'superhuman physique' with 52 times the muscle fiber density. That punch was truly spectacular."

Thinking of this, Lalma's playful side emerged, and he smiled and suggested to Gaolang behind him, "This is a rare opportunity, and I must thank you for your hospitality. Why don't you keep some souvenirs?"

Gaolang nodded. "Your Majesty is right, and of course I will not refuse."

Lamar thought for a moment, "Signature boxing gloves—how about that?"

Gaolang raised an eyebrow and smiled faintly, "Just what I wanted."

"..."

With a single phone call, Lamar's guards quickly delivered Gaolang's boxing gloves.

Those were two used boxing gloves, but the workmanship was quite exquisite. They were custom-made ones that Gaolang used in Thailand, making them exceptionally precious.

Gaolang signed both gloves and handed them to Shiraki Sei, one of which had the words "God of Fighting" written on it in Thai.

"This is a gift from His Majesty to the Fighting Spirit Martial Arts Academy."

Then, Gaolang gave out a second boxing glove, which had his real name, "Gaoran Unzavado," on it. "This one is a gift for a friend. I hope it can help you gain popularity."

"Great, fantastic!"

Shiraki accepted the gift with a smile and planned to have a display case made later to place the two boxing gloves in the hallway.

"..."

On the other side, Doppo, watching this scene, couldn't help but sigh.

"It feels great to be able to collect my favorite decorations!"

He noticed the person beside him.

"Oh, Finger Force Guy, are you also interested in decorations?"

Doppo patted Rito on the shoulder, pointed to the iron plate fist imprint left by Wakatsuki Samurai, and laughed, "With your finger strength, you should be able to cut through an iron plate too, right? Aren't you going to give Shiraki-kun a little souvenir?"

“…Not enough,” Rito murmured softly.

Doppo blinked. "Huh?"

Rito replied helplessly, "Don't joke around. You know perfectly well I'm not qualified. I'm not shameless, old man!"

"Whether it's Dorian or the others, they're all incredibly strong, like monsters."

Rito recalled last night's battle, her body still aching slightly. She couldn't help but sigh, "My prized finger strength talent doesn't seem to amount to much after all..."

Hearing Rito's words, Doppo couldn't help but laugh. He really liked this kid's personality. "So, little brother, what are you planning to do?"

"of course?"

Li Ren abruptly changed the subject and rushed to Bai Mucheng in a few steps.

"Hey, Shiraki, I have something to tell you!"

Rito clenched his fist. "Remember, I will continue to grow stronger. Although I am not qualified yet, one day I will make you very happy to show off my souvenirs!"

"Great, fantastic!"

Bai Mucheng raised his hand in a gesture, and Li Ren understood. He swung his large hand and collided with Bai Mucheng, producing a loud "smack".

The two made a promise.

After wandering around for a while, Rito finally became interested and hoped to have such a training facility. So, he asked Shiraki for a contract and became a new member of the Fighting Spirit Martial Arts Academy.

……

……

After the visit, everyone said goodbye and left.

Li Ren hummed a little tune as she took the tram home, planning to take a nap before heading to work at the moving company where she worked.

Right at his doorstep, Rito encountered an unexpected visitor.

As a fighter, Rihito knew the identity of the newcomer—

The boss of the Nogi Group, "Hideki Nogi", and his super beautiful secretary, "Kaede Akiyama".

"Reasonable people!"

Nogi cut to the chase, urging the other person, "You're not the kind of person who'll work for someone else forever; you should start your own business right away!"

Rito: "..."

Rito: "Oh!"

Although it's inexplicable and I don't understand what's going on, it sounds very exciting!

Nogi continued, "A few days ago, our group acquired a food company, and I've decided to entrust it to you, making you serve as both 'President' and 'Exclusive Fighter'!"

Rito's eyes lit up. "Oh! Then wouldn't that be just like Shiraki-kun?!"

Nogi: "..."

Nogi: "...?"

Is Shiraki Cheng the same person as Shiraki Cheng? And how did Rito come to know Shiraki Cheng?

Putting the questions aside for now, Nogi continued, "In short, I've temporarily allied your original employer, Yoshibu Real Estate, with me through the 'Ordinary Kengan Tournament'."

"Although it took a lot of effort..."

"That's good. I've decided to provide you with financial support to help you participate in the upcoming 'Kengan Zetsu Mei Street Elimination Tournament'!"

Rito scratched his head. "Ah, wait a minute, this sounds really weird. Could there be some kind of conspiracy?"

Nogi clenched his fist. "Anyway, I'll give you the money. You just need to become stronger!"

"oh oh!"

Rito nodded vigorously, "That sounds much better, and if it's like Shiraki-kun, it sounds really impressive..."

Nogi pressed his advantage, saying, "If you want, you still have a chance to fight against top fighters like [God of War] Gaolang, [King of Fighting] Okubo Naoya, and even Katahara Metsudo's [Kiba]!"

To everyone's surprise, upon hearing this, Rito crossed his arms and said dejectedly, "I can handle this kind of challenge myself, but I can't right now..."

Nogi said in a low voice, "It's okay, you just need to—"

When Nogi was halfway through making the promise, he suddenly froze. "Wait, can you go and ask him yourself?"

Rito blinked. "Yeah, I just drank all night yesterday with Gaolang, Grandpa Metsudo, Uncle Yudi, and Brother Shiraki. They're all pretty nice people."

Nogi: "..."

Nogi: "...?"

What?! My intelligence network is outdated?!
"..."

After a long and messy struggle, Nogi finally managed to coax Rito into signing the alliance agreement, thus gaining another ally.

Rito bid farewell to Akiyama Kaede, leaving Nogi and Akiyama Kaede looking at each other in bewilderment.

"Phew, counting Tokita Ohma and Izumi, that makes three of our own..."

Nogi lit a cigarette. "But I always feel like plans can't keep up with changes."

Akiyama Kaede pushed up his glasses. "After all, the unpredictability of the street fighting tournament format far exceeds that of the traditional deathmatch. It's something that has never happened before in history."

"Indeed, but then again..."

Nogi Hideki suddenly laughed and said, "I can't help but wonder how this tournament will turn out. Things are getting more and more interesting!"

To gain a foothold in the volatile business world, one needs a spirit of adventure, and Nogi Hideki is clearly such a person.

……

……

That afternoon, at the Fighting Spirit Martial Arts Hall.

After the garbage was cleaned up, all that remained were the completely destroyed walls and streets, as well as large charred burn marks on the lawn.

Looking at the mess, Bai Mucheng wasn't too bothered, since repairing it wasn't difficult; it was just a matter of time.

But at that moment, Shiba Inu, a member of the "Bōsōzoku" (motorcycle gang) who was wandering nearby, was riding his beloved motorcycle in a special attack uniform when he saw the dilapidated walls of the Douhun Martial Arts Hall.

"Oh, Mr. Shiraki, has your house been renovated?"

Recalling Huashan Xun's words, Chai Qianchun raised his chin and gestured, "I heard from the boss that your house used to be in a ruin style, which is easy to recognize. Is this a restoration to a nostalgic style?"

Shiramu Cheng: "..."

Forget it, I should contact Akiyama Kaede as soon as possible and ask the construction team to handle it quickly, otherwise the reputation of Douhun Martial Arts Hall may be in danger.

"Oh, so it needs to be repaired?"

Chai Qianchun was very loyal and waved his hand, saying, "These kinds of things are faster with perseverance. I'll bring my tools to help tomorrow too!"
