860 Meet and Greet
The arrival of the black car troupe surprised many people on the circuit. They thought something unexpected had happened, but they breathed a sigh of relief when they found the group of cars just stopping around the stands. Only two supercars made it to the circuit.
“Toyota GR hypercar and Honda NSX? For real, haha! They have no chance of winning if they go with it.” An arrogant young man laughed as he leaned against his red Ferrari.
“Who are they? The two cars also seem to have been modified, I can tell from the sound of their engines. Did they come to participate?” A girl clad in sexy tight clothes asked in wonder.
“I don’t know, Karin. They’re not on the participant and guest lists. Everyone on the list is already here. Even so, they’re definitely not ordinary people.” A girl in a cheerleading outfit checked the attendance list.
“Anyway, it’s welcome for newcomers. They are talented young girls, I can see them clearly.” Karin smiled sweetly and waved her hand high at the two approaching cars. She wanted to tell them to come to her first.
The talented young generation who came to the gathering event was not all present for the race. Still, some people were enthusiastic about participating in the speed racing event on the circuit using their proud cars.
Each and every talented youngster were there because that event was organized by the Esper Association. The invited ones must attend. However, the real reason was still quite mysterious. Above all, that event was held quite suddenly.
When the brown hypercar and white supercar pulled over near the event’s mascot Karin, all attention turned to the newcomers out of curiosity, especially the boys and men. After all, they could clearly see that the newcomers were top-class gorgeous beauties!
By the time the four girls got out of their cars, everyone was stunned. It was easy for everyone to recognize two out of four. They were the golden diva Erina and her demon bodyguard Mio!
However, the other two girls instantly won everyone’s hearts because they were so lovely yet mysterious. The girls from the white car looked so young and beautiful, but no one knew them, and it was strange because such beauty couldn’t remain hidden from the world for this long.
“Hi, are you perhaps Karin from the Kawasaki Clan? I was told that we will be assisted by you at this gathering event.” Erina greeted politely.
“Wha, wha, woah! E-E-Erina-sama, are you really Erina-sama!? It’s really you, right?” Karin covered her mouth in pleasant surprise.
“Mm, hello~” Erina waved her hand.
“Woah, I finally got to meet you in person. I am one of your fans. All of your songs are my favorites. I’m looking forward to your new album!” Karin’s eyes sparkled. She was about to hold her idol’s hand, but her hands stopped mid-air, and she canceled her intention. She remembered that Erina’s dangerous power was no longer a secret to espers, and she didn’t want to turn into a lump of gold.
“Hello, Kawasaki Karin-san. Nice to meet you. The wind is still blowing cold even in this sunny weather. However, are you okay just wearing that skimpy suit? You can catch cold.” Elysia came closer and raised her hand in greeting. She checked Karin up and down and was sure this girl was similar to the car flag girls at the vehicle exhibition a few days ago.
“Hehe, thanks for worrying about me. However! This isn’t a skimpy outfit, but my race queen suit.” Karin flicked a handful of her shoulder-length brunette. She immediately approached the lovely black-haired girl and smiled sweetly. “Hello, sweetie, may this big sister know your name? May I know your age? Heehee~”
“I am Elysia, and she is my little sister, Aria. Is age an issue here? We are on the circuit.” Elysia took one step back. She felt Karin suddenly acting strange.
“Mm, it doesn’t matter at all. I was just curious about you. You look younger despite your ripe curvy body. Uhm, yes, I am Karin. I was told to guide the newcomers, but who would have thought it was the beautycomers!” Karin immediately waved her hand in front of her face.
“Woah, such a lovely girls we have here. Nice to meet you, Erina-chan! Do you still remember me?” A girl in a decent race queen suit pushed Karin aside and greeted Erina.
“Yes, you are the second princess of the Taira Clan, Minako. Your father and grandfather have helped us a lot in the past few days.” Erin nodded slightly.
“Hm-mm~ You’ve been going through a tough time lately. However, that’s okay, my clan is your best possible ally. We will help you to take down anyone who dares to hurt you.” Minako clenched her fists.
“Thank you.” Erina appreciated the declaration.
“Moo, Minako-sama. You are so rude.” Karin rubbed her arm.
“Oh, sorry. I was just surprised and excited.” Minako covered her mouth, and she then whispered close to Erina. “Fufu, you’re really close with the rumored Elysia-chan, huh… She also came with her adorable little sister. You really hid such beauties from the world, Erina-chan.”
Erina just smiled in reply.
“Anyway, let’s get together with everyone. This is a meet and greet event where all the talented young generation in Japan gather. The ones over there are the organizers and the higher-ups of the Esper Association. Let’s greet them first.” Karin cleared her throat and pointed her palm at a group of white-robed old men near the pit stop.
Erina and Elysia greeted the organizers and acquainted the talented young generation.
Almost all the boys wanted to get acquainted with the newly arrived beauties. Therefore, a bit of ‘dispute’ occurred.
Even so, Elysia handled everything so well, and everyone was polite after it was clearly asked. She and Erina then just exchanged pleasantries.
“Hello, lovely little sisters. I am Young Master Akihito. Would you like to accompany this handsome young master to a little banquet? This big brother have some candies too. We will be watching the race from the VIP area.” A prince-like young master came with a red rose and a sparkling smile.
“Banquet? If it involves liquor, I need to turn it down. We’re underage.” Elysia shook her head.
“Under age?” Several people muttered in surprise. Aria was clearly underage, but Elysia too?
“Ahem! We seem to need to have a little chat, Young Master Akihito.” Two masked people in black military uniforms suddenly tapped Akihito’s shoulder from behind. They then dragged the boy away.
“Wait, what!? Who are you? Eh, are you FBI? Hey, I’m just asking them to come over to a pastry and tea party over there!” Akihito immediately explained the situation while pointing to a nearby pastry table under a large umbrella.
“Oh, that’s a false alarm, guys. But, we’ll keep an eye on you, boy.” One of the ‘FBI’ guys pointed his two fingers at his face, then at Akihito. He and his comrades then left like ninjas.
“Phew, who exactly are they? Why are they also coming here?” Akihito heaved a sigh of relief.
“That’s because you invited the underage girls with the weird invitation, fool. You may not know it, but Elysia is someone who is being monitored by many experts from various countries right now. She is so important and crucial.” An athletic man snorted and hit his friend’s head with a paper fan.
“Uh-huh? Is that true, my friend Shin? Are those beuties that important? Either way, they’re really lovely. Heehee~ Elysia-chan is a perfect wife material, but Aria-chan is really my type. If I get the big sister, will the little sister come along?” Akihito was slightly surprised, but he glanced back at Elysia and Aria.
“Ahem!”
The unmistakable voice sounded from behind again, startling Akihito. “Hehe, all safe. I was just guessing. No harm, peace.”
“Foolish, I warned you to be careful with them, including Erina.” Shin turned around and walked away from his friend because he didn’t want to get into trouble.
Elysia accompanied Erina to greet almost everyone. A group of girls stayed away from the crowd and avoided associating with the boys. Elysia invited Erina, Rhea, and Mio to go to that girl group when the side race event started.
“Hi~” Elysia greeted in a friendly manner.
“Hum.” The cold beauty just nodded in response.
“Welcome back, Elysia-chan and everyone. But, wow…” Minako raised her hand from beside the cold beauty. She was somewhat surprised to realize Erina was holding hands with Elysia.
She then rushed over to Elysia and whispered softly. “Elysia-chan, aren’t you afraid to turn into a lump of gold? Erina-chan does wear gloves, but look… it’s already become golden gloves.”
“She’s just feeling nervous. You don’t have to worry, Minako-sama. Erina won’t be able to turn me into gold because she won’t hurt me.” Elysia smiled in reply.
“Just call me Minako~ But, you’re amazing, Elysia-chan. Maybe that’s why Erina-chan is so clingy to you. We got information that Erina-chan’s golden touch is already under control, but well… everyone is afraid of her. Please take care of Erina-chan, mkay?” Minako gave a wink and returned to her little group.
“Introducing, she is my new friend, Fuyumi Yuki. Then, she is–” Minako then introduced her little group.
‘Master Elysia, the one named Fuyumi Yuki once met one of our teams during the elimination event. Her friend was one of the participants at the time, and he was immediately eliminated.’ Rhea tugged the end of Elysia’s sleeve.
‘Fuyumi Yuki? Her friend, err, a boy? Hmm, all right. We need to keep our eyes on her. Her innate talent is an ice element, huh… She doesn’t hold a grudge to Guardian of Dream, right?’ Elysia glanced at the black-haired cold beauty. She could see a cold aura emanating from those icy blue eyes.
