Bab 38: Girls Night Out
Upon arriving home from the recommendation exam, Kaga was hit with a surprise of her own, apparently, Kaga's parents found it fitting to actually gift her a car for passing the recommendation exam even though they haven't gotten the results yet.
Her parents surprised her with a Porche 911 GT3 RS to be specific, and this already accounted for her graduation gift from Junior High School. Kaga was actually ecstatic, even though she can run faster than this car, it's just a fantasy of hers when she was just an average joe.
AN: (Sigh...any of you got a Porche to spare? I could definitely sell one for myself)
With such a present she immediately hugged her parents for such a thoughtful present even though she never asked for it, she quickly went inside to watch a tutorial video of how drive a sports car and also how to drift with one.
Kaga quickly learned everything there is to driving it, but of course, learning from a video is different from trying it out in real life. But with Kaga's brain and muscle control, such things are easy to grasp.

-After some days of practice-
.

'ha...haha...hahaha...Tokyo Drift here I come!', Kaga evilly thought to herself, and she was now wondering if she should try those underground street racing things since she feeling rather confident after all, and with Blood Boost, everything would happen in slow motion!
She immediately phoned Manami to search for such places, even though Manami works for her parents she is surprisingly loyal to Kaga since she was the one to have found her when she was in need of a job.
*click*
"What could I do for you, Kaga~?", Manami (La Brava) asked cheerily since she is always happy if it has anything to do with Kaga.
"Nothing much, can you search for me an underground street racing place? I want to test something out", the excitement on Kaga's voice could be heard.
"Sure! Give me a sec since this should be quite easy", she went into typing mode but continued soon after, "you know...you could literally ask me to hack a corrupt politicians money clean and no one would even know, and maybe send the money to orphanages"
When Kaga heard this she immediately agreed but moments later she finally got the information she wanted, "And there you go, the place is called 'The Toge' and it's on a mountainous road that was abandoned some years back after a villain attacked and wrecked the roads. However, some gang fixed it up and turned it into an illegal racing circuit."
"Look, I know you'll be fine since you're strong and all, but do be careful, okay?", Manami reminded which warmed Kaga's heart about how the worry of Manami, "No worries! I can literally survive falling off a sky scrapper, what can a car crash even do to me? Anyway, thanks for sending me the location, PEACE!"

After talking with Manami, Kaga went and called Himiko.
*Click*
"I feel like something fun is about to happen~!", Himiko said straight over the phone since her fun senses were tingling.
"You and your senses, anyway, it is something fun! How about you and I have a little hangout? We're going to be street racing!", Kaga said hoping that Himiko would join her.
"Hmmm...I have to come up with some amazing lie then...I'm guessing this will happen at night? Well, I guess I can always sneak out", Himiko lamented since her sneaking skills were top-notch and trained by Jin Taejin.
"No need to worry! Mr. Jin will make duplicates of us and the car so that it seems we never even left, but when I pick you up do remember to hide your identity", Kaga reminded.
"Ohhh! Since you'll be driving, I'll prepare matching outfits for us, we'll look like delinquents...somewhat...but no worries~", before Kaga could remind Himiko to not making anything too revealing Himiko already hung up.
'Ohh well...better start prepping my duplicate and a copy of the car too then'
.
.
.
It was already 10 P.M. and Kaga has already swapped her car with the copy that Mr. Jin made and also ordered the copy of hers to sleep.
So from an observer's view, it looked like nothing happened and everything is peaceful.
After she was about a kilometer away from her home, that is only when she took out her beloved car that she constantly looks at as if it would drive away.
Stepping into the vehicle that was white but had blue accents to it which naturally matched Kaga's appearance, and after turning it on, as if a snoring dragon was breathing down the engine was heard.
Occasionally she would rev up the engine causing some load roars to echo within the night.
After everything was set, she made her way to the meet-up location she and Himiko planned since a sports car can be heard when it's on your doorstep.
Upon arriving, she saw her best friend Himiko sitting on a bench, and slowly drove her way there, and once she reached she immediately took out the duplicate of Himiko and ordered it to go back home and sleep.
"Wahhhh~ You have to take me to school once school starts! Or else I'll be miserably walking or get molested in a train", Himiko joked in the end, as if anyone can even molest her before her knowing their intention.
Opening the door for Himiko, "So, where are the matching outfits that you said?", Kaga wondered seeing that she wasn't carrying much.
"Well, I know how you love hoodies so I settled for one, and this hoodie can hide your ears and tail since it's baggy instead of being fit.", she showed the black hoodie that had fox ears for design, however, the cool thing about this is that there are neon glow in the dark patterns on it.
"Did you bring a mask?", Kaga asked but from Himiko's facial expression it showed that she forgot, but with Kaga having her storage space she has a bunch of daily items, and masks happen to be those too...though just a simple black cotton face mask.
"Wouldn't the license plate get seen?"
"It has that weird film cover that prevents it from being properly seen or pictured", Kaga explained while readying to leave for their destination.
Moments later they followed the GPS which showed that it'll take them half an hour to reach the place, but they didn't mind and just jammed to the music as they sped off on the highway.
"WEEEEEEE~ This is a different feeling compared to running!", Himiko exclaimed as she brought the window down a bit only to be smashed hard in the face with the oncoming wind.
*VROOOOM*
Kaga suddenly sped up incredibly faster which resulted in Himiko getting hammered in the face even more, though it probably just feels like a strong fan for her at this point instead of it actually hurting.
Thirty minutes into their drive, the GPS told them to make an exit out of the highway which actually led them to a more mountainous area.
Soon enough there were some passing sports cars too with their own unique designs, one of them even had his cars covered in LED lightings, almost similar to a gaming keyboard with its RGB lights blaring.
Deciding to follow the frequently passing cars that revved occasionally, they soon saw a flat area filled with cars neatly parked, some had their engines exposed, while others were letting the music out.
But before could enter the area, they were stopped by a masked fellow and knocked on the window so that they could speak.
Deciding to just open it since nothing would happen even if someone pointed a gun at her since it was basically like a child's weapon already.
"Well~ Didn't expect beauties to be driving this beast of a car", the man complimented which the two didn't mind, "...from the looks of things you girls seem new considering how you're not showing a pass, anyway, just go and drive on over there to buy a pass. Think of it as a permanent entrance fee."
"And if you're looking to race, just head back over to me and I can set up one for you", the guy continued and finished by saying that he can set them up for a race, which meant you don't just come up here and start a race willy nilly.
The two girls expected to be heckled but were surprised that it was just the guy giving the general information, Kaga didn't know how the street rolls but she just gave him a 1000 Yen bill for the info, to which the guy kindly accepted.
Following the guy's instructions, they proceeded to pay for the special pass which cost them 20k Yen surprisingly, but Kaga didn't really care much since her mangas have already sold very well over the years, and she is already counting in USD and not Japanese Yen.
After that, the girls decided to find a spot that they could park in and to which the same guy from earlier actually found them one, 'Must be a helper that helps people around in exchange for cash, well, no problem for me and he also doesn't have the aura of any malicious intent'
Kaga decided to trust her instinct since it doesn't fail her when it comes to sensing the intentions of people.
The moment they parked and stepped out, everyone looked their way since Kaga's car was something of a new model too. But were also shocked to find out that girls were the drivers of the car, it wasn't often but they don't usually get female racers to appear.
Himiko and Kaga just simply ignored the stares and looked around them, it was a new experience since everyone was wearing a different kind of clothing style, the essence of everything was basically freedom and wildness.
The guy from earlier approached them again, "Listening to the sound of the engine and the looks of the tires, everything seems like stock? Am I correct?"
Kaga simply nodded, "Well, it looks like you're an expert, care to share your name?"
"People call me Shiki, I deal with cars all the time and I'm credible, though you'll only find that out once you try my services.
If you're going to race with that car, I can hook you up to people whose car's will do badly against yours, or if you're a thrill-seeker you can always go random."
"Simple enough, random it is, what do people use to bet here anyway?", Kaga wondered since there are many forms, property, the car itself, or just straight-up cash.
"Well it's usually cash, but if you want to win big, some people tend to put their cars up for stake. Some even do it as a collection", the guy said after witnessing many people cry till morning for betting their only car.
"Explain the money bet then", Kaga said without hesitation.
"Well, there's the 10k, 20k, 40k, and more. And a reminder, this is all on USD I don't want a scene where they confidently whip out a stack of yen...this happened too many times to count.", the guy warned.
"Well, which category has the most waiting drivers?"
"The 10k has the most, and they are generally skilled. But from time to time, there are just those who are cocky and go for more than 40k, it's either you're confident or you're loaded", the guy said.
"Well, I'm both...so I'll wager my car for another!", Himiko had already expected Kaga to say this since for her friend, there is no thrill in going for a lower one.
"Hah...you gotta buckle up then since the moment you said you'll wager your car, everyone's looking at you already", Shiki said as he looked at all the greedy eyes.
"Bring it on then!"
