Hot among Gals by Dress-up!

My name is Julia Irving.
Nowadays, I'm wondering if I don't really need to introduce myself.
I'm not really sure whether that's actually a good thing or not, but I hope, I mean, it's got to be a good thing.
Today, I mean even today, to my cell phone, an e-mail for a work request…is just coming, you see?

♪ Hai-yaa! Hai-yaa! Hai-yaa!
♪ Hai-yaa! Hai-yaa! Hai-yaa! Hai-yaa!

……As for me, this ringtone is equal to an emergency call.
But then, I'm also a professional.
I at least should check what the email is about.

"Hai-yaa! It's me, Nagamatsu!
Actually, the final of the Wangan Maxi 3DX Japan Championship will be held!
Me, Nagamatsu, needs to track and investigate Maepa and can't go there. So I want you to collect news material for me!
The place is…you know, the big place close to the ocean!
I forgot the time and date!
Well, thank you.
I'm counting on you!!
Oh by the way.
The other day, Me, Nagamatsu, tried 53 spin turns for one second, and... (The rest is omitted.)"

……I may sound like I'm repeating myself, but my policy is to accept any work, any stupid work, as long as I get paid.
I'm very effective,
but no matter how effective I am, collecting news material on an event at an "unclear time and date" in a "big place close to the ocean" is really difficult!
I even want to whine with a cheap joke like "It is really a defeat-cult!"
Oh, anyway. If I just hack Fukusuke's PC, I can find out the details of the final of the Wangan Maxi 3DX Japan Championship.
……Eh, this time, it's a phone call.

♪ Holy moly, Holy moly
♪ Holy smoke, Holy smoke

Julia:
Hello, hellooooo it's Julia. Oh, Boss.

Boss:
Hey, it's me, Takenaka, otherwise known as "Boss."

Julia:
Thanks for introducing yourself! Come to that, did you catch "Maepa"?

Takenaka, known as "Boss":
No…We're ashamed, but we can't even pick up on his mistakes.
He is quite a handful.
It's time that we really need your help, Julia.

Julia:
(As usual, his can-do spirit is a little off from the right direction…)
You can ask me for an investigation request any time!
Then, do you have another request today?

Takenaka:
Oh, yes, I almost forgot.
Actually, my super cool SW, you know?

↓ [Boss's super cool SW (Toyota MR2▪SW20)]





Julia:
SW?...I mean, was it the Boss's car?

Takenaka:
Of course yes! My beloved vehicle is the coolest car in Japan.
Anyway, I was told some maintenance is required for my car. So I'll put my car in a workshop of a person I know. Then, since this is an opportunity, I'm thinking to do some dress-apples.
Of course, even without any change, it still has No.1 look in Asia!
But you see, I mean, umm, a little bit more, you know?
Looks hot even for young and edgy gals...I mean, umm…

Julia:
……In short, do you mean you want to dress up your car in a look so you get hotter among girls?

Takenaka:
No, no no!
I am hot enough among gals as I am!
But…it's just…
Yes, for a switch of mood! You know!
My SW has a serious look, with no rival in Eurasia, but sometimes, I want it to have the sense, a little, of getting off the fast track!

Julia:
Hmmm…
But I don't really know much about cars' dress-up…
Oh, come to that, I know the perfect material!
I have images that I hacked and snatched from Fukusuke's PC the other day, no, no, I mean, that I was offered from him. Those images might become good references for you Boss!
I'll send those to Boss's PC, so wait a second!

Takenaka:
Www, wai, wai, wait!
I, I'm not good at my-com….. so send them to me by envelope!

*** 2 days later ***

Takenaka:
I saw them!
Gosh, every one of them is cool!










Takenaka:
But, they're not that hot, not like my cool SW.
But they were really good references!
Who did those dress-apples??

Julia:
Umm, how was it…
Oh yes, I heard that those were "vanity dress-up cars" posted in the Opinion Box by players.
I heard that Fukusuke read those e-mails and recreated those images.

Takenaka:
Wow!
Hot players' hearts all over Japan were woven into them, huh!
Weeell, I should go to Fukusuke's desk and try to simulate a new SW dress-apple!
I'll make my SW No.1 in the Solar System and definitely hot among gals!
Thanks, Julia!

♪Pip

……Later, I received a call from the Boss and saw the predicted image of his new SW, but…

Julia:
Wha, what the!?


↓ The Boss's New SW




Julia:
I can't tell what was changed at all…?

Takenaka:
Man…I mean, a geeky man should have a normal car without saying a word!
Ummm, gosh, my SW is sooo cool
Literally, the best macccchine in the Galaxy!

Julia:
……Umm, we are still accepting your "vanity dress-up cars." So, if you have one, send an e-mail to "Opinion Box for Maximum Tune 3DX"!


**********

Thanks to all of you, the "2009 Wangan Midnight Maximum Tune 3DX Japan Championship ∗ Final" held on September 19 was a great success!
Fukusuke was able to observe the moment that it went down in history. I couldn't stop trembling through watching great, nonstop battles one after another. I think the detailed report will be separately released. So, let's look forward to it!

Julia:
Wait, YOU should write it…
