Chapter 392: A rare opportunity!
There was silence on the other end of the phone. Kazuo Karasawa thought his phone was broken. He called "Hello" several times before he heard Fujiwara Takumi's reply: "I don't plan to participate." This sentence was like a bolt from the blue, and Kazuo Karasawa almost jumped up.
“I’m going to get away from Ishii and start planning my travel racing plans and do what I really want to do.
How could Kazuo Karasawa listen to that? He was so angry that his face turned red and he angrily said, "What are you doing? No, what do you mean?! Such a good opportunity, you..." Kazuo Karasawa was speechless for a moment and didn't know how to criticize Fujiwara Takumi.
"Come on, Tang Ze Kazuo, stop trying to persuade me. I have made up my mind, and no one can change it. This is my decision, and it is what I will do right now."
"But there's only one chance to compete!" Tang Ze Kazuo said anxiously, "You can get first place, why... do you have to give up such a good opportunity?"
But he soon realized that persuasion was ineffective, so he hung up the phone and decided to go to Fujiwara Takumi in person to persuade him.
Kazuo Karasawa drove away at full speed, as if he was on the verge of life and death, his whole body trembling with excitement. How could such a good opportunity be wasted like this?
However, Fujiwara Takumi's home is no longer as peaceful as usual. In addition to him, there are also Uehara Mika, Hojo Rin, and Hojo Go. They are all there, but the atmosphere in the house is terribly depressing...
"What did Kazuo Karasawa say to you? Why do you all seem to be as excited as if you were injected with chicken blood? I could hear Karasawa's loud voice from far away." With Uehara Mika's words, the atmosphere instantly became warm.
"Yes, he also said that this is a great opportunity and you can easily win the championship."
"I'm not going to participate in the World Championships."
Uehara Mika, Hojo Rin and Hojo Go, the attitudes of the three people are completely different from Karasawa Kazuo, and they seem quite calm. Especially Hojo Go asked:
"Why don't you participate? This opportunity is really rare." Fujiwara Takumi replied: "I still want to follow my heart." Uehara Mika continued: "In this case, we will all stand on your side."
The four of them were in tune with each other, chatting and laughing while waiting for Kazuo Tangze. Tangze had a key to Fujiwara Takumi's house, and he was in a rush when he entered the door. He felt particularly good about himself and thought he was very handsome at the moment.
When he turned around, he found that Uehara Mika, Fujiwara Takumi, Hojo Rin and Hojo Go were playing Landlord together, which made Tang Ze very anxious.
He left Fujiwara Takumi aside and pulled Uehara Mika to the balcony. The living room was a little far from the balcony, and the people inside couldn't hear what they were saying, so they naturally didn't pay attention.
"Mika, why are you still playing cards with that kid Fujiwara Takumi? Do you know what he did?"
Tangze was so anxious that he was running around in a panic, but Uehara Mika looked nonchalant, with no sign of nervousness on her face. She held the railing with her hands and looked at the scenery downstairs leisurely.
"You say it."
"He, he said he won't participate in the world championship, he wants to do something... a travel racing plan, and he wants to stay away from Ishii. Tell me, why is someone who can obviously win the championship going to such trouble?!"
Uehara Mika was a little unhappy: "I support his choice, but you should really understand his inner world."
"What do you mean by that? Didn't I ask you to persuade him? Why are you scolding me instead?"
"I won't persuade him, because I support him too." This made Kazuo Tangzawa waver, but he still tried not to show it. He felt that he couldn't follow this group of people to "harm" Fujiwara Takumi.
"Don't you think this is unfair to Fujiwara Takumi? After all, he is so talented?" Uehara Mika hit the nail on the head:
"Our concern was not what award he could win, but whether he liked it or not from the beginning."
"He doesn't need those false names, what he needs is the continuous love." Uehara Mika seemed a little angry this time: "Maybe, Karasawa Kazuo, you are really wrong this time. I will support him and help him."
"You also know that once Fujiwara Takumi makes a decision, no one can change it. We need to form a team and start implementing this plan."
At first, Kazuo Karasawa felt helpless about the attitudes of these four people, but gradually, he began to think that maybe he was really wrong. Even so, he was still willing to support Fujiwara Takumi.
That afternoon, the sun was blazing, the air was filled with fatigue, and the hot wind made people drowsy. The neighborhood where Fujiwara Takumi lived was so quiet that only the chirping of cicadas could be heard.
Occasionally, a few children would throw paper airplanes downstairs, a few elderly people would chat indistinctly in the shade of trees wearing flowered shirts, and some unemployed people would regard playing mahjong as a sacred profession.
In fact, the entire community is deserted most of the time.
However, Fujiwara Takumi's place was very lively. "What? You agreed too?!" Hojo Go and his two brothers opened their mouths into an "O" shape when they heard the news, with disbelief written all over their faces.
Uehara Mika was actually quite excited but she didn't show it. At this moment, she also became excited.
"That's right, and I have to thank Mika too. I've thought about it over and over again, and I'm indeed too rigid." Kazuo Karasawa stepped forward and patted Fujiwara Takumi's shoulder lightly.
"Just do what you want to do. I will support you and help you no matter what!" Kazuo Tangzawa's encouraging words made Fujiwara Takumi more confident.
In this way, everyone basically understood why Fujiwara Takumi wanted to withdraw from the world championships. He planned to do what he was really interested in. Fame was not important as long as he enjoyed it.
Before long, the news that Fujiwara Takumi withdrew from the world competition became known to everyone, and some people even speculated that it was because he had to take care of the eight children at home.
Fortunately, this rumor did not reach Fujiwara Takumi's ears. Although many people feel sorry, after all, everyone likes Fujiwara Takumi, but what can we do?
Although outsiders felt sorry, the five of them didn't think so in their hearts. This was just a finish line that they hadn't crossed yet.
Just because this destination might not be the place that Fujiwara Takumi truly longs for, they decided to set off and head towards a new starting point.
That night, Kazuo Tangze treated everyone to a meal of crayfish, five pounds of lobster, and three large boxes of beer. The brothers got together and drank all the beer, and of course they got drunk, but this was the most united time they had.
Fortunately, the brothers were all good at drinking, and in the middle of the night, they all got home safely, and Fujiwara Takumi had already fallen into a sound sleep.
The remaining four guys, staggering here and there, either walking like a cat or practicing drunken boxing, each went their separate ways.
