Teio... hey, your leg...
**[00:24] Teacher**
Tokai Teio-san, were you paying
attention to the lecture?
**[00:51] Tokai Teio**
*There's nothing left.*
**[00:55] Tokai Teio**
*No Triple Crown, not being undefeated...*
**[00:58] Tokai Teio**
*What am I supposed to run for now?*

Searching for a Reason
**[02:46] Tokai Teio**
You're McQueen's...
**[02:49] Symboli Rudolf**
Six months to heal?
**[02:51] Mejiro McQueen**
Yes. It's a genuine shame I'll be unable
to run in the Takarazuka Kinen,
**[02:56] Mejiro McQueen**
but for the time being, I'll be recuperating
at home, away from the school.
**[02:59] Symboli Rudolf**
I assume this means you'll be taking
a break from your team, too.
**[03:02] Mejiro McQueen**
Yes. I've made sure to
get Trainer's approval.
**[03:06] Symboli Rudolf**
What has Teio said about it?
**[03:09] Symboli Rudolf**
You two are rivals, aren't you?
You just competed in the Spring Tennoushou.
**[03:15] Mejiro McQueen**
The Tennoushou is over now.
**[03:17] Mejiro McQueen**
My only concern now is
what to do in the future.
**[03:22] Symboli Rudolf**
I see.
**[03:23] Mejiro McQueen**
No horse girl can resist their
instinct to seek victory.
**[03:28] Mejiro McQueen**
If you'll excuse me.
**[03:41] Mejiro McQueen**
So... you spoke to Teio, then.
**[03:45] Butler**
Yes.
**[03:45] Butler**
Though I had thought this type of thing
would be best conveyed in person...
**[03:51] Mejiro McQueen**
No, this saves me the trouble.
**[03:54] Mejiro McQueen**
Let's head to our destination, Butler.
**[03:56] Jiiya**
Very good, miss.
**[03:58] Trainer**
It's a shame about McQueen,
**[04:01] Trainer**
but Teio's injuries aren't as bad,
so she'll be able to run again in the fall.
**[04:06] Trainer**
Come on, why the long faces?
**[04:11] Trainer**
McQueen's gonna be back, you hear me?
**[04:13] Vodka**
Yeah.
**[04:14] Daiwa Scarlet**
Teio is working hard in spite of
her injuries, so we'd better, too!
**[04:18] Special Week**
Let's start training!
**[04:19] Gold Ship**
Oh yeah! Time for some
Golshi original special training!
**[04:22] Gold Ship**
Let's do it, Teio!
**[04:25] Special Week**
Teio-san?
**[04:27] Tokai Teio**
Oh, sorry about that!
Yeah, let's start training.
**[04:33] Tokai Teio**
What did you want to talk about?
**[04:35] Trainer**
I figured I'd run the race
plan for this fall by you.

That's kind of what I was figuring, anyway.
**[04:44] Trainer**
How's your leg doing? If it's hurting...
**[04:47] Tokai Teio**
It's fine. I was able to
train normally, wasn't I?
**[04:50] Trainer**
Yeah, I guess.
**[04:52] Tokai Teio**
Okay, I'm gonna go, then.

And just now—
**[05:15] Commentary**
She crosses the goal!

Palmer!

I will make it a reality.
**[07:02] Tokai Teio**
Those are Master's orders,
and I will obey them.
**[07:13] Trainer**
What the hell am I supposed to do?!
**[07:15] Hana Toujou**
Maybe drink less.
**[07:17] Trainer**
I just want her to look forward again.
**[07:20] Trainer**
So I busted my butt for her training plan!
**[07:22] Trainer**
I tried to come up with the
best possible race plan, too!
**[07:25] Trainer**
But...
**[07:25] Hana Toujou**
She's been "fine."
**[07:27] Trainer**
Right! She's been doing a
"fine" job of everything!
**[07:30] Trainer**
But there's not a hint of the old Teio spark!
**[07:32] Trainer**
I know her passion for
racing can't be gone.
**[07:35] Trainer**
But...
**[07:36] Trainer**
What am I supposed to do?!
**[07:38] Hana Toujou**
Unbelievable.
**[07:39] Trainer**
I'm also broke.
**[07:41] Hana Toujou**
Get a grip, would you?!
**[07:44] Hana Toujou**
You managed to work through Tokai Teio's
injury at the derby, didn't you?
**[07:49] Trainer**
But...
**[07:50] Trainer**
But she couldn't achieve
her Triple Crown dream,
**[07:53] Trainer**
and her dream of being
undefeated is gone now, too.
**[07:55] Hana Toujou**
Do you realize how few horse girls
**[07:57] Hana Toujou**
can make their dreams from before
they start racing a reality?
**[08:01] Hana Toujou**
And dreams can take different
shapes over time.
**[08:05] Hana Toujou**
If she can get through this,
Tokai Teio will be even stronger.
**[08:10] Hana Toujou**
You need to have some faith
in her in the meantime.
**[08:13] Trainer**
Ow, ow, ow...
**[08:14] Hana Toujou**
I'm heading out.
**[08:16] Bartender**
Thank you for coming by.
**[08:19] Trainer**
Thanks.

Bartender...
**[08:27] Bartender**

**[08:28] Trainer**
You got any glasses that need washing?
**[08:32] Bartender**

**[09:41] Commentary**
Mejiro Palmer and Daitaku Helios are
seriously outrunning the competition.
**[09:43] Commentary**
There are ten lengths between them
and the third-place runner!
**[09:46] Commentary**
They'll need to close in soon to stand
any chance against the two in the lead!
**[09:51] Commentary**
Is Tokai Teio going to be
all right in her position?
**[09:54] Junko Hosoe**
She's had a lot of big ups and
downs in her races recently.
**[09:58] Junko Hosoe**
It's a bit worrying.
**[09:59] Tokai Teio**
* Ow... I think I hit my rear*
* on the way out of the gate.*
**[10:03] Tokai Teio**
* I can't win the Triple*
* Crown or be undefeated.*
**[10:06] Tokai Teio**
*I can't be like the Prez anymore.*
**[10:08] Tokai Teio**
*So why am I even running anymore?*
**[10:13] Mejiro Palmer**
Let's go, Helios!
**[10:15] Daitaku Helios**
Yo!
**[10:15] Nice Nature**
Come on!
**[10:20] Tokai Teio**
*Why are they trying so hard?*
**[10:24] Commentary**
Tokai Teio is remaining steady,
five to six positions from the rear.
**[10:27] Special Week**
I don't think Teio-san's
feeling well yet.
**[10:30] Trainer**
No, this is fine.
**[10:31] Vodka**
How, exactly?! Can't you
see how far back she is?!
**[10:34] Trainer**
There are things you can only
learn by running in a race.
**[10:38] Trainer**
* You need to use this chance*
* to figure it out, Teio!*
**[10:42] Tokai Teio**
*If I move further up, will I understand?*
**[10:46] Tokai Teio**
*Why the others are running?*
**[10:49] Tokai Teio**
*And why I should run?*
**[10:52] Commentary**
Coming around the fourth corner,
and Mejiro Palmer is going for it.
**[10:55] Commentary**
There's a 310 meter straightaway left,
with the Nakayama course being a short one.
**[10:58] Daitaku Helios**
You've got this!

We're BFFs!

Lyric Earth is moving

And Mejiro Palmer and
Lyric Earth cross the goal!

Oh yeah! I did it! Helios!

Nice job, Ikuno!

Congratulations on third place, Nature-san!
**[11:37] Tokai Teio**
I couldn't make it.

Oh, damn.

I thought I had lost everything, but...
**[12:09] Tokai Teio**

This is something that you'll need

**[13:55] Tokai Teio**
Hey, is being a leader really about
doing a bunch of crummy chores?!
**[13:57] Trainer**
Hey, they're not crummy at all.
**[13:59] Trainer**
Horseshoes, diet, laundry...
**[14:02] Trainer**
It's all stuff necessary to run well.
**[14:06] Trainer**
Once you're done, go check
the others out as they run,
**[14:09] Trainer**
Leader.
**[14:12] Tokai Teio**
I'm not sure I buy any of this.
**[14:19] Tokai Teio**
Trainer, I finished...
**[14:21] Trainer**
Kick it up a notch!
**[14:32] Trainer**
Good! Nice times.
**[14:36] Daiwa Scarlet**
I won that time.

Give it a rest! I was faster!
**[14:58] Both**
What do you think, Leader?!
**[15:01] Tokai Teio**
Hey...
**[15:02] Tokai Teio**
What are you two racing for?
**[15:06] Both**
To beat her!
**[15:07] Both**
Stop copying me!
**[15:09] Both**
I'm not!
**[15:10] Tokai Teio**
But think about it.
**[15:11] Tokai Teio**
It's not like you're always gonna
be in the same races, right?
**[15:14] Tokai Teio**
What about the rest of the time?
**[15:15] Daiwa Scarlet**
Oh, that doesn't matter at all.
**[15:18] Vodka**
I'd definitely win if it was the same race.
**[15:21] Daiwa Scarlet**
But the other races still matter.
**[15:24] Vodka**
That's right! You better bust your butt
all the time if you want to beat me.
**[15:28] Daiwa Scarlet**
I could say the same thing!
**[15:30] Vodka**
Beating you is easy mode!
**[15:32] Daiwa Scarlet**
Well beating you, Vodka, is super easy mode!
**[15:33] Tokai Teio**
Come on, quit fighting!
**[15:37] Special Week**
Do you suppose Leader-san
is going to be okay?
**[15:40] Trainer**
She's trying to find something.
**[15:41] Daiwa Scarlet**
Beating you is super-duper-uber easy mode!

Her reason for racing.
**[15:44] Vodka**
Well beating you is super-mega-

Y-Yes.
**[16:41] Fan**
I knew it!
**[16:42] Fan**
I'm always rooting for you!
**[16:45] Fan**
Um, can I shake your hand?
**[16:47] Tokai Teio**
O-Okay...
**[16:49] Fan**
Thank you so much!
**[16:51] Fan**
I have something to brag
to my friends about now.
**[16:54] Fan**
I'm curious, what are you the leader of?
**[16:57] Tokai Teio**
I-It's nothing, really!
***SIGN*** PARK VIEWING PLATFORM
**[17:02] Tokai Teio**
See you!
**[17:09] Tokai Teio**
Seriously, where am I?
**[17:16] Butler**
I've been awaiting your arrival.
**[17:20] Tokai Teio**
Butler-san?!
**[17:22] Butler**
Leader-sama, thank you
for coming all this way.
**[17:26] Tokai Teio**
You scared me! I didn't
recognize you at first.
**[17:29] Tokai Teio**
And you're calling me "Leader" too, huh?
**[17:31] Butler**
Right this way, Leader-sama.
**[17:40] Tokai Teio**
Uh, where are we going?
**[17:44] Tokai Teio**
Um...
**[17:46] Butler**
It's over there.
**[17:51] Tokai Teio**
What is this place?
**[17:54] Butler**
The Mejiro family's sanatorium.
**[17:59] Tokai Teio**
Um...
**[18:01] Tokai Teio**
Well...
**[18:03] Tokai Teio**
I'm not sure why I'm here.
**[18:10] Butler**
The young miss is expecting you.
**[18:19] Tokai Teio**
McQueen?
**[18:22] Butler**
Miss, I've brought Leader-sama to see you.
**[18:25] Mejiro McQueen**
Excellent work, Butler.
**[18:27] Mejiro McQueen**
Teio, one moment, please.
**[18:29] Tokai Teio**
R-Right.
**[18:31] Mejiro McQueen**
Ten more to go.
***SIGN*** I am the leader
**[18:46] Tokai Teio**
How are your injuries?
**[18:49] Mejiro McQueen**
Quite well. I'll be rejoining Spica shortly.
**[18:53] Mejiro McQueen**
I think I've gained muscle that
will help with my running.
**[18:57] Tokai Teio**
I-I see.
**[19:09] Tokai Teio**
McQueen...
**[19:11] Mejiro McQueen**
What is it?
**[19:12] Tokai Teio**
McQueen, how can you...
Why do you try so hard?
**[19:17] Mejiro McQueen**
Because I am only looking at my goal.
**[19:21] Tokai Teio**
Your goal?
**[19:22] Mejiro McQueen**
Currently, it's to become stronger
than I was before my injury.
**[19:26] Mejiro McQueen**
After that, it will be defeating
a certain opponent.
**[19:29] Mejiro McQueen**
I can't afford to dawdle.
**[19:32] Tokai Teio**
I didn't know you had someone like that.
**[19:35] Mejiro McQueen**
Is it strange?
**[19:36] Tokai Teio**
Well, you blew everyone
away at the Tennoushou.
**[19:40] Tokai Teio**
They're calling you the
greatest stayer in history!
**[19:43] Tokai Teio**
Who could you still want to beat?
**[19:45] Mejiro McQueen**
It's having someone I want to defeat
that allows me to become stronger.
**[19:50] Tokai Teio**
Stronger?
**[19:51] Mejiro McQueen**
Much stronger.
**[19:53] Mejiro McQueen**
I'm quite greedy, I'm afraid.
**[19:55] Mejiro McQueen**
So I intend to become much, much stronger,
as far as I can take it.
**[20:00] Mejiro McQueen**
And so, I hope you'll
make your comeback soon.
**[20:10] Tokai Teio**
Wait, is the person you want to beat...
**[20:14] Mejiro McQueen**
I had never been disappointed by how strong
an opponent seemed before.
**[20:31] Mejiro McQueen**
It's true that I won the Spring Tennoushou.
**[20:36] Mejiro McQueen**
Thirty-two hundred meters on turf...
A distance I specialize in.
**[20:41] Mejiro McQueen**
But we haven't competed over the
distance you specialize in yet.
**[20:45] Tokai Teio**
My distance?
**[20:47] Mejiro McQueen**
I'm sure there's a distance
that you're best suited to,
**[20:50] Mejiro McQueen**
much like how I'm called a stayer.
**[20:53] Tokai Teio**
A distance I'm good at...
**[20:56] Mejiro McQueen**
It wouldn't be fair unless we
raced over that distance, too.
**[21:00] Mejiro McQueen**
As a horse girl of the Mejiro family,
**[21:02] Mejiro McQueen**
I cannot claim glory unless
my victory is complete.
**[21:07] Mejiro McQueen**
Next time, I will crush you,
at your best distance.
**[21:10] Mejiro McQueen**
So wipe that hollow look off your face.
**[21:15] Mejiro McQueen**
Your desire for victory, the same one
every horse girl has, isn't gone, is it?
**[21:21] Mejiro McQueen**
From this moment on, I'd be glad
to run so as to be a goal for you.
**[21:38] Mejiro McQueen**
What's that look for?
**[21:40] Tokai Teio**
Well, since you're so set on it,
I guess I could race you.
**[21:43] Tokai Teio**
But you might end up crying when you lose!
**[21:45] Mejiro McQueen**
I could easily say the same to you.
**[21:52] Tokai Teio**
I'm not gonna lose again!
**[21:55] Mejiro McQueen**
Challenge accepted.
**[21:59] Mejiro McQueen**
Incidentally, would you like
to have your injury examined?
**[22:03] Mejiro McQueen**
Oh, have you forgotten how
skilled my family's doctor is?
**[22:06] Tokai Teio**
I couldn't if I wanted to!
**[22:08] Tokai Teio**
U-Uh, let go!
**[22:11] Mejiro McQueen**
The preparations are already complete.
**[22:13] Tokai Teio**
D-Don't tell me...
**[22:14] Doctor**
I'm the doctor.
**[22:16] Tokai Teio**
There he is!
**[22:17] Mejiro McQueen**
Please, enjoy a special course
of the Mejiro family's treatment.
**[22:21] Mejiro McQueen**
Now, let's move along.
**[22:23] Tokai Teio**
W-Wait a second!
**[22:29] Tokai Teio**
Hang on! Why's he got a needle?!
**[22:32] Doctor**
Because I'm the young lady's doctor.
**[22:34] Tokai Teio**
What is even happening?!
