武田晴信からのお返し。

轟音を上げて真っ赤なスポーツカーが甲斐を駆ける。シートに伝わるエンジンの鼓動、窓を開ければ顔を薙ぐ風と木々の匂い。そしてドライブのもう一つの醍醐味、サービスエリアに地元グルメ。食わずに帰るなんてのは野暮ってもんだ。

それは甲斐に生まれ、甲斐と生き、甲斐に果てた男の行く末に、遥か彼方に広がっていた景色。

ああ、こいつをおまえと見たかったのさ。

この美しい世界をな。

A thank-you gift from Takeda Harunobu.

The thunderous roar of the crimson sports car as it races across Kai, the vibration of its engine through your seat, the smell of the wind and trees rushes in through the open window, and that other thrill of driving: local eats at the rest stop. It's just uncivilized to leave without trying some.

It was a landscape that stretched far into the distance, marking the fate of a man born in Kai, who lived in Kai, and who would meet his end in Kai.

Man, I wish you could've seen this with me.

This beautiful world.
