6th Night Night Before D

**6th Night Night Before D** is the sixth chapter of Racing Lagoon.

This chapter takes place three nights after the previous chapter and the night before the Yokohama GP qualifiers. Because the player does not visit North and/or South Yokohama overworld for few chapters after this, it is also the last time the player can hear their respective overworld themes in both areas.

## Synopsis

Following the events of the previous night, Kyoji Nanba disappeared for three days, having meetings with both Keisuke Ishikawa and Aoi Kawashima the night before he was found again. The disappearance was enough for Akasaki to worry about the state of Kyoji, as he displayed behaviors not usual of his (except for the fact he would tough up when he ran into issues). A testimony from a GS Milage employee to Akasaki stated that a orange GRA-Hyena (Keisuke's) came to a stop not for a service (Keisuke yelled at the employee when the employee offered it to him) but to meet Kyoji, who having finished working on his car, had started no-showing work following the meeting. (If the player declines to save after talking again to the employee, he will tell the player to inform him should Kyoji gets found.)

At Yokohama Stadium, Akasaki spotted an dark green, Zokky-tuned Cancer with Honmoku Night Racers logo alongside Tetsuji Kawasaki's own Cancer; he quickly recognized it was Keisuke's, who switched from his regular GRA-Si, and questioned why the two started hanging out together. (This was related to their meeting in the previous chapter). At the hospital, Akasaki is told by the nurse that Makoto Sawaki's condition had worsened, while at Johnny's, an unnamed Night Racers member heard that Keisuke had "messed" with Sawaki's car just before the his crash, as some racers discussed Keisuke and Tetsuji.

During the night, Honmoku Night Racers (in which Keisuke lost his GP spot to Akira Tsujimoto due to how heavy his Zokky-equipped car is; Sho suspected that Keisuke was trying to flex on the team rather than trying to win), Motomachi Queen's, Sakuragicho GRAND TOURERS (in which they hold no actual decider race as Kawasaki decided to chose himself for the race), and Takashima VICTORY ROAD have their Yokohama GP deciders in order to decide who will represent each team in the qualifiers. Meanwhile, the sightings of a strange Seven-RX (belonging to Kyoji's) began enticing not only Akasaki, but also locals. When Akasaki sighted the Seven-RX at Bay Lagoon Tower complex, the Blood Reds of Wangan GALE interrupted him for a three-against-one battle.

Between other team's deciding races, Kenzo Yamada informed Akasaki that he would retire from the Nanpa Chicane after Yuka Suzuki showed up there (when she approached Akasaki, she mentioned her mechanic training from Bodyshop Muraoka a chapter prior). Meanwhile, Akasaki also managed to get a quick peek at the WON-TEC headquarters as two high-ranking board members left the corporation's headquarters in company limousine.

At the end of the chapter, at 3 am, Nanba calls Akasaki saying that he had heard a strange voice. Akasaki eventually found him in a zombie-like state, claiming to have understood why his brother raced a decade ago, but most importantly warning that Akasaki is just like himself and his brother, and that the voices he heard will be something that Akasaki could not escape sooner or later, and challenged him into one more race - a Taiman battle with his strange-looking Seven-RX. Not understanding things Kyoji said, Akasaki began to increasingly worry about Kyoji's state before and during their race, in which he found himself unable to catch up to him (because of this, it should be noted that winning the Taiman battle against Kyoji is optional). Note that if the player gets a Game Over in the Yokohama GP Qualifying Round and then returns to this chapter, the player will not race Kyoji again when the player parks at Bay Lagoon Wharf to retry the Grand Prix's qualifier.
