Chapter 538: The Game Has Just Begun (2/2)
”……Arehh? Why do I feel like I've just been subjected to some unwarranted slander……”
[It's just your imagination.]
”Is that so…… Well, anyway, my vehicle allows me to accumulate a Special Drive one by one every time I drive a certain distance, and when I use it, it allows me to automatically slip forward without slowing down my speed with each of my turns!”
[……I see.]
That means, Alice's drifts that make it seem like she's sticking on the curves was a result of that Special Drive technique huh…… This can be a great weapon if I use it correctly.
With that in mind, I stared at the map and began to formulate a strategy…… The BC96's Special Drive is of the type that has a limited number of times, but being able to run at a tremendous speed for 5 seconds is very powerful.
However, one drawback of this ability is that it can only be used in a straight line…… After considering these factors, the points where I could attack are……
The first one is saved for the long straight road at the end, and the remaining two charges…… I'll use them here.
With my strategy in place, I looked ahead to the first crucial point…… a big uphill slope.
The steep uphill and downhill slopes in the Metropolitan Highway-style space are also unique to the game. This is where…… I catch up with Alice.
At this point, the gap between Alice and me was quite large, and by the time I reached the hill, Alice had already made it to the middle of the hill.
That's when I activated my BC96's Special Drive, the speedometer swung out, and my motorbike accelerated at an unbelievable speed. Feeling the scenery blowing backwards, I stared ahead of the race course.
I would never be able to drive at a speed like this in real life. This is the kind of driving that can only be done in a virtual world where you can't get hurt.
The BC96 accelerated beyond its limits, and as Alice began to descend the slope, the BC96 burst forward, ascending the slope…… and then……
”Wha!? Y- You're flying!?”
Jumping over a downward slope while maintaining this speed…… Ahh, this is scary!!!
[Uwooohhhhh!?]
Even though I knew that I wouldn't get hurt, it was still chilling to see my motorbike fall from a great jump.
However, this was a virtual space designed to be safe and secure. It was a pretty big leap, but my motorbike landed on the track and started running without making me feel any sort of impact.
”What speed…… Gununu, I didn't expect to be overtaken by a beginner like Kaito-san……”
Alright, I've gained a big lead. My BC96 has a higher maximum speed than Alice's mini buggy…… If I can keep this lead, I can win!
Dear Mom, Dad———— A heated race against Alice. I was able to overtake Alice, who was leading in the beginning, in the middle of the race. However, I don't think Alice would just let me keep the lead————– The game has just begun.
~~ Highlight of the race ~~
Kaito : [This is the local way of overtaking land drivers!!! By flying!]
Alice : [W- Whaaaaaat!?]
~~ Next Time on YuuShou ~~
Kaito : [Impossibru! There's no way you can make a turn at that speed! You're going to crash into a wall, you know!?]
Alice : [……I can do this. With my Alice-chan's Transcendental Special Buggy, I can make this turn!]
＊＊＊＊
Kaito : [Reaching this point, there is almost nothing left to compete with. I don't have any choice but to attack. The next crucial point will be…… in the 5 consecutive hairpin curves!]
Alice : [Kaito-san knows that corners are incredibly favorable towards me, so how will Kaito-san make his attack? From inside, or from outside? What!? He's attacking from the outside!?]

Serious-senpai : [……This isn't that kind of novel, okay!? This is Isekai! Isekai Fantasy! Stop with that Dejavu music!!!]
