Seeing Duan Zilian's bewildered expression, Wei Lai couldn't help but cover her mouth and chuckle.
But the smile on his lips gradually faded, and his gaze followed the window of the bar, looking towards the distant blue sky.
"But... motorcycle racing."
Marina's hobby is motorcycles, and she's also a professional racer with perfect pitch.
I imagine... she must have already won her first world championship by now.
…………
"Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!"
A deafening roar echoed across a training ground on the outskirts of Kyoto!
"Alright!! Keep this speed and complete this lap in one go!!!"
At the edge of the track, a middle-aged man with a rugged beard shouted loudly while timing a stopwatch.
His voice was deep and steady, and although he was middle-aged, it still couldn't hide the handsomeness and sharpness he had in his youth.
About a minute later, the black Honda CB1300 came to a steady stop in front of the middle-aged man.
"53 seconds 7."
The middle-aged man looked at the stopwatch in his hand, his eyes filled with undisguised shock and admiration.
"It was a full three seconds faster than your first test a week ago! That's terrifying."
He looked up at the rider on the bike.
"It seems that you and this modified old car are getting along better and better, Marina."
"call--"
After the man finished speaking, the rider on the vehicle also took off his helmet, revealing his long, flowing hair.
Marina Kazama wiped the sweat from her forehead, got out of the car, and gave the middle-aged man beside her a dashing smile.
"Luckily, Brother Xiang lent me this beast that you personally trained, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to regain the feeling of chasing the wind so quickly."
After listening, Hideki smiled slightly and looked up at the blue sky.
"No matter how good the bike is, it depends on who's riding it."
He walked up and patted the fuel tank of the Honda CB1300; the fuel inside was still burning hot.
"This car has no electronic speed limiter; only those who can hear the wind can drive it."
Chapter 244 has been changed to manual operation; I'll handle everything.
Marina nodded emphatically as she listened to Hideki Go announce his lap time.
She looked down at the motorcycle outfit she was wearing and felt a surge of emotion once again.
"I actually... rode a motorcycle again."
After Mebius left Earth, the GUYS members gradually completed their missions and retired.
In that timeline, Marina returned to the track and won her first world-class racing championship.
However, due to injuries sustained during her service with GUYS, her body could no longer sustain the high intensity of her professional career.
She eventually retired five years later and lived a long and peaceful life as an ordinary locomotive instructor.
Just a week ago, she returned to this world that was both familiar and strange, looking as youthful as ever.
“Marina, your perfect pitch is in excellent condition. This state will definitely make you stronger and stronger.”
Hideki Go passionately swung his fist at her.
"Let's keep pushing our limits for the Chiba Grand Prix in five days!"
Marina snapped out of her daze, looked at the older man who was taking care of her like an older brother, and instinctively responded loudly.
"GIG!"
She was stunned for a moment after shouting, then covered her mouth and smiled shyly.
Indeed, it was rather strange to shout out this slogan, which hadn't been used in a long time, in this world.
Hideki Go didn't seem to mind her verbal tic, and waved with a smile, signaling her to get ready to continue with the next training session.
As the motorcycle engine roared once more, Marina transformed into a black afterimage and rushed onto the track.
Hideki Go also excitedly shouted the countdown slogans.
What Marina didn't know was that Hideki Go also felt a tremor in his heart when he heard the word "GIG".
Hideki Go slowly put down the stopwatch. Although he had had that strange feeling for a long time, he had never taken it seriously.
It wasn't until yesterday, when he watched Ultraman Tiga battle the Twin-Tailed Monster Gudon through the screen, that unique memory resurfaced.
“GIG, huh…”
Since regaining his memories, Hideki Go also recalled the time when he first met Marina a week ago, when she was wearing that dazzling orange uniform.
Hideki Go let out a long sigh of relief and looked up at the clear blue sky.
Light... really does attract each other.
I'll try to get together with those old buddies when I have time, though I don't know where they are now.
It was at this time that...
"Om-"
A yellow fighter jet, leaving a long white contrail, smoothly flew past Hideki Go in the sky.
…………
Inside the cockpit of Victory Flying Swallow 1, the sun shone brightly, and a sense of tranquility prevailed.
"This is Shinjo. I am currently over Chiba City. Everything is normal here."
Xincheng looked at the stable dashboard in front of him and reported into the communicator.
"Daigo, you know, it's a sunny day, and there's nothing unusual about it."
"Yes, I think so too."
Daigo sat in the back seat, bored, looking down at the city through the cockpit window.
Suddenly, his gaze was drawn to a large, wide, circular area below.
"Hey? Shinjo, look, isn't that the venue where Chiba is going to hold the Grand Prix?"
Looking down through the glass, countless motorcycles, no bigger than ants, were already warming up and testing out on the track.
"That's right, that's it. A competition with a billion-dollar prize is really exciting. How many years would it take me to fly planes at GUTS to earn that much?"
"Speaking of which, since it's the top motorcycle race in all of Japan, will Takuma participate as well?"
Daigo asked with an innocent look on his face.
Upon hearing this name, Xincheng's smile vanished instantly, replaced by a look of deep anguish.
"Don't even mention it. That brat is on his honeymoon with Mayumi right now. He has no interest in going back to racing."
"Huh? Mayumi is already married to Takuma? When did this happen? I've never heard of it."
"She didn't even tell me, her own brother, saying that the GUTS mission was too important and she was afraid of delaying my efforts to save the world!"
Xincheng became increasingly frustrated as he spoke, and slammed his hand on the control panel.
"Ugh, that brat, she's forgotten all about her older brother now that she's married!"
"Hahaha, the New City team members are going to be heartbroken for a while now." Daigo couldn't help but laugh out loud.
"It's alright, as long as Mayumi can live a peaceful and happy life."
Xincheng was also relieved and said nonchalantly.
The two circled above the blue sea and sky, chatting casually about everyday things.
"Waaaaah—waaaah—"
Suddenly, a piercing sound, similar to a baby crying, reached their ears.
"Shinjo...did you hear that?" Daigo's smile vanished instantly.
"So you heard it too, Daigo... I thought I was hallucinating."
Xincheng immediately dropped his joking expression and warily surveyed the empty sea of clouds outside the plane.
Just at this time.
"DiDi Di Di Di Di Di Di Di Di!"
A piercing alarm suddenly sounded from the Victory Swallow 1 control console.
"What happened? What's going on?!"
Shinjo looked at the Victory Flying Swallow model that was going viral on the screen and was filled with doubt.
"Device malfunctioning, subjected to strong electromagnetic interference; autopilot system has failed!"
Daigo calmly made his judgment as he looked at the red warning box flashing in the back seat.
"Tsk! Switch to manual operation, let me do everything!"
"I've let go."
Daigo replied softly, then inexplicably felt that the sentence was somewhat familiar.
"Wait a minute... Team member Xincheng, didn't we say that before in Inner Mongolia...?"
"Daigo!!!" Shinjo's roar interrupted Daigo's words.
"Huh? What's wrong!" Daigo exclaimed in surprise.
"Hold on tight! We're about to crash!!!"
"Aa ...
…………
Three hours later, inside the CREW GUYS coffee shop in Chiba City.
"So, Daigo-senpai... you two aces have crashed again? And you even sprained your arms?"
Duan Zilian held a tray in her hand, looking at Da Gu sitting opposite her with an expression of utter amazement.
Daigo had changed into casual clothes, his left arm in a cast and hanging around his neck, looking somewhat disheveled.
Hearing Duan Zilian's incredulous words, Daigo felt a little embarrassed, but still gave a soft "hmm".
"Cough...yes, I really didn't expect this kind of accident to happen. The Xincheng team member was in a slightly worse situation than me; he twisted his ankle when he landed."
"Fortunately, we crashed into the sea. Apart from the plane being totaled, we were all fine."
"puff--"
Although it felt a bit like hell, Duan Zilian still couldn't help but laugh out loud.
"Senior Daigo, if your GUTS logistics department knew that you two would destroy a plane every time you went on a mission, they'd probably come after you and beat you up."
Daigo was so embarrassed by the laughter that he quickly changed the subject.
"However, Duan Jun, the main reason I came here is to share some information. Please remember to pass it on to Wei Lai and Kai Sang later."
Daigo looked around and then gestured for Duan Zilian to come closer.
After Duan Zilian curiously leaned closer, Daigo lowered his voice and said:
"Actually, before the crash, we heard something in the clouds..."
"Ding—Emergency news broadcast!"
Before Daigo could finish speaking, the TV on the wall of the coffee shop suddenly switched to an emergency channel.
In the video, a female host stands anxiously in front of the camera, microphone in hand, with a lush, green mountain range behind her. In the background, a monster covered in rocky armor and wielding enormous pincers roams freely through the forest.
Upon seeing the monster on TV, Duan Zilian, Daigo, Mirai, and Hong Kai's expressions all tightened simultaneously.
“That’s… Sadra?” Future murmured.
