**[00:01] Sakamichi**
I won't...
**[00:05] Sakamichi**
...let you...
**[00:06] Sakamichi**
...pass me!
**[00:08] Yuto**
You're so strong, Mountain King.
**[00:10] Yuto**
Your climbing strength is unbelievable.
**[00:12] Yuto**
Your total control over your cadence,
**[00:14] Yuto**
and those eyes...
**[00:16] Yuto**
The large, honest eyes of a fighter.
**[00:20] Yuto**
You've giving me goosebumps.
**[00:32] Teshima**
Be careful, Onoda.
**[00:34] Teshima**
Shinkai Yuto seems easygoing at first glance,
**[00:38] Teshima**
but he's fast.
**[00:39] Teshima**
And his movements are without
mercy or hesitation.
**[00:43] Yuto**
Yeah!

**[02:19] Yuto**
I was trying to surprise you.
**[02:21] Yuto**
I'm even leaning against your shoulder.
**[02:24] Yuto**
But that's odd.
**[02:26] Yuto**
You won't budge.
**[02:29] Sakamichi**
I'm going ahead of you.
**[02:32] Yuto**
This is the power of the Mountain King.
**[02:34] Yuto**
This is the Mountain King's turf.
**[02:36] Yuto**
I thought you'd be blown away like earlier.
**[02:39] Sakamichi**
I'm going ahead.
**[02:41] Yuto**
You've gotten stronger in the past year.
**[02:43] Yuto**
Far stronger than the rumors say.
**[02:46] Yuro**
Yeah!
**[02:50] Yuto**
You're giving me chills.
**[02:52] Yuto**
I get to race you, the Mountain King,
at the Inter-High.
**[02:59] Yuto**
You're incredible. Incredible.
**[03:01] Yuto**
You're keeping up.
**[03:02] Yuto**
I'm pedaling as hard as I can right now.
**[03:05] Yuto**
Just kidding!
**[03:08] Sakamichi**
Shinkai-kun really is fast.
**[03:10] Sakamichi**
He climbs like there's a
motor attached to his bike.
**[03:13] Yuto**
Yeah!
**[03:16] Yuto**
Try to keep up, Mountain King!
**[03:20] Sakamichi**
But...
**[03:21] Sakamichi**
I won't let him go. I won't let him go.
**[03:24] Sakamichi**
Imaizumi-kun, Naruko-kun...
**[03:30] Sakamichi**
I won't let him go.
**[03:35] Sakamichi**
I caught up!
**[03:42] Yuto**
You truly are interesting, Mountain King!
**[03:46] Sakamichi**
He accelerated again just when I caught up.
**[03:49] Yuto**
A man's spirit is broken when
his opponent accelerates
**[03:52] Yuto**
over and over right before his eyes.
**[03:53] Yuto**
He believes his efforts will be
wasted even if he tries again.
**[03:57] Yuto**
I'll keep pulling ahead of the Mountain King
until his spirit is broken!
**[04:03] Yuto**
Over and over!
**[04:16] Yuto**
Wow. You really are amazing.
**[04:19] Yuto**
Your mental strength is incredible.
**[04:21] Yuto**
That would have stopped an ordinary climber.
**[04:25] Yuto**
But you're still following me even
after I've pulled ahead four times.
**[04:29] Yuto**
Exhausting yourself in the process.
**[04:31] Yuto**
I'd like to know the secret
behind your strength—
**[04:35] Yuto**
Are you trying to pass me,
Mountain King Onoda?
**[04:39] Yuto**
It can't be.
**[04:39] Yuto**
You're try to pass me?
**[04:41] Yuto**
Seriously?
**[04:43] Yuto**
He's trying to get to the front.
**[04:45] Yuto**
Even though we're locked in battle.
**[04:47] Yuto**
Even though I've attacked numerous times.
**[04:49] Yuto**
Have I been beneath his
consideration this whole time?
**[04:51] Yuto**
What is this, anyway?
**[04:54] Yuto**
His pedaling...
**[04:56] Yuto**
It's so plain and steady.
**[04:58] Yuto**
It's not special at all.
**[04:59] Yuto**
It doesn't even seem particularly fast.
**[05:02] Yuto**
But for some reason, I can't
catch up to him easily.
**[05:05] Yuto**
It's like he's moving forward with certainty.
**[05:07] Yuto**
Step by step.
**[05:09] Yuto**
And with a strange rhythm.
**[05:11] Sakamichi**
I can't.
**[05:13] Sakamichi**
I need to take this seriously,
**[05:15] Sakamichi**
but for some reason I keep
hearing the* Love Hime*
**[05:17] Sakamichi**
season two opening theme inside my head.
**[05:19] Yuto**
That's the secret behind the
Mountain King's strength?
**[05:23] Yuto**
Yeah!
**[05:30] Yuto**
I'm hurt.
**[05:32] Yuto**
You passed me with such ordinary riding.
**[05:35] Yuto**
I'm going all-out against you.
**[05:39] Sakamichi**
You're plenty strong.
**[05:43] Sakamichi**
I think you're amazing.
**[05:46] Sakamichi**
But Teshima-san told me to reach the front.
**[05:51] Yuto**
He told you to?
**[05:53] Yuto**
How strange.
**[05:56] Yuto**
Do you ride because you're told to?
**[05:59] Yuto**
Don't you not have a will of your own?
**[06:01] Yuto**
Are you a robot? A doll?
**[06:05] Sakamichi**
I'm told what to do and do as I'm told.
**[06:09] Sakamichi**
If that makes people happy...
**[06:12] Sakamichi**
Then that makes me happy, too.
**[06:15] Yuto**
Goosebumps...
**[06:17] Yuto**
These are different from the ones earlier.
**[06:20] Yuto**
Who is this guy?
**[06:22] Yuto**
I don't understand him.
**[06:24] Yuto**
I have to beat him.
**[06:28] Yuto**
Can you hear the cheers of the fans?
**[06:32] Yuto**
The front is just ahead.
**[06:34] Yuto**
Let's see who reaches the front first.
**[06:37] Yuto**
It'll be our final race.
**[06:43] Imaizumi**
Naruko!
**[06:44] Naruko**
What, hotshot?
**[06:45] Imaizumi**
They're coming from behind.
**[06:48] Naruko**
I know.
**[06:49] Imaizumi**
You're not going to check?
**[06:52] Naruko**
I don't need to look.
**[06:54] Naruko**
It's Onoda-kun.
**[06:57] Naruko**
I know this rising pressure.
**[07:00] Naruko**
Onoda-kun is coming.
**[07:02] Naruko**
But...
**[07:03] Naruko**
Feels like things didn't
go quite according to plan.
**[07:06] Imaizumi**
Yeah.
**[07:07] Naruko**
There aren't many of them.
**[07:09] Naruko**
Onoda-kun and one Hakone Academy rider.
**[07:11] Naruko**
According to this morning's meeting,
our strategy was to group up as a team.
**[07:15] Naruko**
Did something happen?
**[07:18] Imaizumi**
So Teshima-san decided to send just
Onoda after Hakone Academy attacked.
**[07:24] Imaizumi**
Either way, we need to get ready.
**[07:26] Imaizumi**
They could try to make a
move once they're together.
**[07:28] Imaizumi**
Things will change depending on
who reaches the front first.
**[07:32] Imaizumi**
And if Onoda's being pursued by
that guy's younger brother, #16...
**[07:37] Imaizumi**
I know him well.
**[07:40] Imaizumi**
After all, we fought one another
at last year's Inter-High.
**[07:43] Imaizumi**
He's strong and...
**[07:45] Imaizumi**
...obsessed with victory!
**[07:48] Yuto**
Yeah!
**[07:52] Yuto**
Mountain King, I'm starting to understand
how you won the final climb last year!
**[07:59] Yuto**
Plain and steady.
**[08:01] Yuto**
There's nothing flashy or cool about you.
**[08:03] Yuto**
Just plain, but with all your might.
**[08:04] Yuto**
Steadily, steadily, steadily.
**[08:06] Yuto**
You never stop.
**[08:08] Yuto**
"You can't win like that."
**[08:09] Yuto**
"That's too plain to fight."
**[08:12] Yuto**
I'm sure you've heard that countless times.
**[08:14] Yuto**
You suffered their criticisms and
proved them wrong through brute force.
**[08:19] Yuto**
Didn't you?
**[08:19] Yuto**
And so you ascended to your throne.
**[08:22] Yuto**
You wanted to shut them up.
**[08:25] Yuto**
Am I wrong?
**[08:27] Yuto**
It must've felt good.
**[08:30] Yuto**
How was it?
**[08:31] Yuto**
How did it feel to prove everyone wrong?
**[08:33] Yuto**
To overthrow conventional wisdom?
**[08:36] Yuto**
Did it make you shake?
**[08:37] Yuto**
Did it give you pins and needles?
**[08:39] Sakamichi**
At last year's Inter-High, after the race,
my hands went numb.
**[08:45] Sakamichi**
My entire body was shaking from exhaustion.
**[08:48] Sakamichi**
I'm sorry, though.
**[08:50] Sakamichi**
There wasn't a single person
who said I couldn't win that way!
**[09:01] Sakamichi**
They were all so much nicer than I deserved.
**[09:05] Sakamichi**
My senior Makishima-san gave
me a lot of encouragement.
**[09:10] Sakamichi**
My classmate Imaizumi-kun...
**[09:13] Sakamichi**
...said he believed in me!
**[09:19] Yuto**
Huh. I see.
**[09:22] Yuto**
Is he serious?
**[09:24] Yuto**
He rides for the team? For one jersey?
**[09:29] Yuto**
Seriously?
**[09:31] Yuto**
So these people really do exist.
**[09:34] Yuto**
What other people think
doesn't affect how I ride.
**[09:41] Yuto**
It seems our attitudes towards
victory are fundamentally different.
**[09:47] Yuto**
I knew it.
**[09:49] Yuto**
I have to beat him.
**[09:56] Yuto**
In that case, shall I prove it to him?
**[09:59] Sakamichi**
Shinkai-kun!
**[10:01] Sakamichi**
He moved ahead. He's fast.
**[10:04] Sakamichi**
He's standing. He's dancing.
**[10:05] Sakamichi**
He's accelerating.
**[10:07] Sakamichi**
I need to keep up.
**[10:09] Yuto**
Prove I can achieve an overwhelming victory
**[10:11] Yuto**
over the man who sits on the throne my way!
**[10:15] Yuto**
Fall, Mountain King!
**[10:17] Sakamichi**
He's fast!
**[10:18] Fan 1**
Hakone Academy jumped ahead!
**[10:19] Fan 2**
He's trying to get ahead and
meet up with the front first!
**[10:23] Sakamichi**
He got so far ahead before
I could even start dancing!
**[10:28] Sakamichi**
Let me catch up!
**[10:30] Fan 1**
If Hakone Academy catches up to
the front, it'll be two on two!
**[10:33] Fan 2**
The power balance will be a draw!
**[10:35] Fan 2**
Either could attack at any time!
**[10:37] Yuto**
I'll prove it...
**[10:41] Yuto**
By defeating the enemies behind me!
**[10:44] Yuto**
I'll prove it by pulling ahead!
**[10:47] Yuto**
That's my...
**[10:49] (Flashback) Shinkai**
This is Yuto.
**[10:50] (Flashback) Shinkai**
He's my younger brother.
**[10:52] (Flashback) Shinkai**
He started biking, too.
**[10:54] (Flashback) Shinkai**
Be nice to him.
**[10:56] (Flashback) Shinkai**
Honestly, he's got talent.
**[10:59] Yuto**
*Talent?*
**[11:00] Yuto**
This is...
**[11:02] Yuto**
Shinkai Yuto's way!
**[11:05] Sakamichi**
Turn!
**[11:07] Sakamichi**
Catch up!
**[11:09] Fan 3**
Hakone Academy's faster!
**[11:11] Fan 4**
Sohoku's #1 can't close the gap!
**[11:13] Yuto**
Don't worry, he won't catch up!
**[11:16] Yuto**
I...
**[11:19] Yuto**
I'll get there first!
**[11:22] Yuto**
Yeah! First!
**[11:25] Yuto**
I'm here, Ashikiba-san!
**[11:27] Yuto**
Let's keep going.
**[11:28] Yuto**
Let's leave Sohoku and
their Mountain King behind.
**[11:31] Yuto**
I beat the Mountain King!
**[11:34] Ashikiba**
No. We shouldn't, Yuto.
**[11:37] Yuto**
Why not?
**[11:39] Yuto**
The Mountain King is behind us.
**[11:40] Yuto**
If grouping up was the battle,
I beat the Mountain King.
**[11:43] Ashikiba**
Sohoku...
**[11:45] Ashikiba**
Imaizumi and Naruko...
**[11:48] Ashikiba**
Matched Onoda's acceleration,
and deliberately dropped back.
**[11:52] Ashikiba**
They've already met up with him.
**[11:55] Imaizumi**
You're always causing trouble, Onoda.
**[11:58] Sakamichi**
Thanks.
**[12:01] Naruko**
We've been waiting for you, Onoda-kun.
**[12:04] Ashikiba**
If grouping up was the battle...
**[12:07] Ashikiba**
It's a draw, Yuto.
**[12:12] Yuto**
I see.
**[12:14] Yuto**
I was going all out at the end.
**[12:17] Yuto**
I thought I'd pulled ahead
and beaten the Mountain King.
**[12:22] Yuto**
I never thought Sohoku's riders
in the front would fall back.
**[12:28] Yuto**
They got us.
**[12:31] Yuto**
If this were the finish line, I would've won.
**[12:36] Ashikiba**
Team Sohoku...
**[12:39] Ashikiba**
...senses each other's vibrations
and turns that into strength.
**[12:43] Ashikiba**
That's the kind of team they are.
**[12:45] Imaizumi**
Good. Onoda's here.
**[12:47] Imaizumi**
We have the strength of tag #1.
**[12:49] Imaizumi**
This will put a lot of
pressure on Hakone Academy.
**[12:52] Imaizumi**
This climb will end soon,
and we'll enter the downhill.
**[12:55] Imaizumi**
For now, the battle for the second day's
long climb to the pass is going well.
**[13:01] Naruko**
How was Shinkai-san's little brother?
**[13:04] Sakamichi**
He was fast. It was like magic.
**[13:06] Imaizumi**
Now we just have to wait for
the other three to catch up.
**[13:14] Sakamichi**
Um, well...
**[13:16] Sakamichi**
Imaizumi-kun...
**[13:18] Sakamichi**
Naruko-kun...
**[13:21] Ashikiba**
They're strong.
**[13:23] Yuto**
If you say so, then they might be.
**[13:27] Yuto**
Strong, huh?
**[13:28] Ashikiba**
Especially when they're together.
**[13:31] Yuto**
Oh, that.
**[13:33] Yuto**
You mean when their team is together?
**[13:36] Yuto**
In that case...
**[13:39] Yuto**
That might not be a problem.
**[13:41] Imaizumi**
What?
**[13:42] Naruko**
Showoff and Aoyagi-san fell behind?
**[13:49] Naruko**
You're joking.
**[13:51] Naruko**
Two of our six members?
**[13:54] Naruko**
It's still only the start of the second day!
**[13:56] Sakamichi**
Aoyagi-san said he'd come back, but...
**[14:01] Sakamichi**
Teshima-san said we'd complete
the rest of the race as four.
**[14:08] Naruko**
Oh, right.
**[14:10] Naruko**
What about Kuroda-san?
**[14:11] Naruko**
He fell during the finish line
sprint and started in the back.
**[14:15] Naruko**
Is Hakone Academy climbing as three?
**[14:18] Naruko**
That would mean they're missing one guy, too.
**[14:20] Sakamichi**
Hakone Academy...
**[14:22] Sakamichi**
They dropped back together
to collect Kuroda-san.
**[14:26] Sakamichi**
They're climbing with all their members!
**[14:31] Imaizumi**
Who said we were doing well,
Imaizumi Shunsuke?
**[14:37] Imaizumi**
This climb will end soon.
**[14:39] Imaizumi**
Are they trying to get here before it does?
**[14:43] Naruko**
Is Hakone Academy trying to gather
all its members during this climb?
**[14:47] Sakamichi**
Teshima-san will arrive before them.
**[14:50] Sakamichi**
Once he's here, I'm sure...
**[14:52] Sakamichi**
And then the four of us...
**[14:54] Sakamichi**
If we accelerate, I'm sure—
**[14:56] Imaizumi**
Onoda...
**[14:58] Imaizumi**
Unfortunately, Hakone Academy
made it here first.
**[15:02] Kuroda**
Looks like you're taking
this seriously, Yuto.
**[15:06] Yuto**
Of course.
**[15:08] Ashikiba**
Yuki-chan.
**[15:10] Ashikiba**
I never thought I'd get
to see you ride again.
**[15:13] Ashikiba**
I... I...
**[15:14] Kuroda**
What am I, dead?
**[15:16] Kuroda**
It's not like I came back to life.
**[15:18] Ashikiba**
But I thought...
**[15:20] Kuroda**
Hey, you'd better not be crying.
**[15:22] Sakamichi**
Teshima-san?
**[15:24] Imaizumi**
Hakone Academy...
**[15:27] Imaizumi**
Hakone Academy has gathered all its members!
**[15:34] Izumida**
Abs!
**[15:36] Naruko**
Lashes is shouting!
**[15:38] Sakamichi**
Where's Teshima-san?
**[15:39] Imaizumi**
Behind us!
**[15:41] Imaizumi**
Hakone Academy's passing us!
**[15:43] Naruko**
They changed formation!
**[15:45] Naruko**
This isn't good, hotshot!
**[15:46] Naruko**
They're making their move!
**[15:48] Naruko**
What should we do, hotshot?
**[15:49] Naruko**
Wait for Teshima-san, or chase
after Hakone Academy as three?
**[15:53] Naruko**
If we let them go now, they'll...
**[15:55] Sakamichi**
Teshima-san, hurry!
**[15:57] Naruko**
Hotshot!
**[15:58] Imaizumi**
We don't have the numbers to go after them.
**[16:01] Imaizumi**
But if we miss this opportunity...
**[16:04] Imaizumi**
What should we do?
**[16:05] Imaizumi**
What should we do?
**[16:07] Imaizumi**
Teshima-san!
**[16:11] Imaizumi**
We'll wait for Teshima-san!
**[16:13] Imaizumi**
Sohoku will accelerate once
we have all our members!
**[16:18] Sakamichi**
Hakone Academy is accelerating
with all their members!
**[16:21] Sakamichi**
They're getting farther and farther ahead!
**[16:24] Naruko**
We let them get away!
**[16:25] Naruko**
Hotshot, should we send one of us after them?
**[16:27] Naruko**
Me or Onoda-kun?
**[16:29] Imaizumi**
We'll wait for Teshima-san!
All of us, together!
**[16:32] Imaizumi**
We'll wait.
**[16:33] Imaizumi**
That's right. I'm sure
that's the right answer.
**[16:36] Imaizumi**
But...
**[16:38] Imaizumi**
It'll take just about 30 seconds or
more for Teshima-san to catch up.
**[16:43] Imaizumi**
But staring at your opponents' butts while
you wait makes it feel like an eternity.
**[16:49] Sakamichi**
Hakone Academy is disappearing from sight...
**[16:52] Naruko**
Hotshot!
**[16:56] Class Rep**
Route 120, which connects
Nikkou and Numata City,
**[17:00] Class Rep**
switches from uphill to downhill
at the Konsei Pass's Konsei Tunnel
**[17:05] Class Rep**
1,842 meters above sea level,
**[17:06] Class Rep**
where the course leaves
Tochigi and enters Gunma.
**[17:12] Class Rep**
Last year it was Mt. Fuji and Hakone.
**[17:16] Class Rep**
Why are road races held
at the top of mountains?
**[17:19] Class Rep**
I wish they'd hold one in the city.
**[17:22] Class Rep**
It's so hard to get around.
**[17:23] Class Rep**
I have to transfer trains and buses.
**[17:26] (Flashback) Manami**
The city?
**[17:27] (Flashback) Class Rep**
Oh, not that I'm interested.
**[17:30] (Flashback) Manami**
I don't like city races.
**[17:32] (Flashback) Manami**
I'd be useless.
**[17:34] Class Rep**
Since that's what Sangaku said,
I came all the way here.
**[17:40] Class Rep**
He's always late and never
fills out his handouts.
**[17:43] Class Rep**
If he's not useful here,
then he's banned from cycling.
**[17:47] Class Rep**
But...
**[17:49] Class Rep**
The view from the top of a
mountain certainly is nice.
**[17:53] Fan 5**
They're here!
**[17:54] Class Rep**
Huh? What?
**[17:55] Fan 6**
Hakone Academy's in the front!
**[17:57] Fan 6**
Their second-year ace
climber Manami is pulling!
**[17:59] Fan 5**
And they have all their members!
**[18:04] Class Rep**
They're here, they're here!
**[18:05] Class Rep**
Wait...
**[18:06] Class Rep**
He really is being useful!
**[18:09] Class Rep**
Last year, I couldn't give
him those rice balls.
**[18:12] Class Rep**
So this year, I know what to do!
**[18:14] Class Rep**
There!
**[18:17] Class Rep**
I dropped all my stuff!
**[18:19] Class Rep**
I don't have time to pick this up.
**[18:21] Class Rep**
Since I came all the way here,
I should at least say something.
**[18:25] Class Rep**
Sangaku, good...
**[18:26] Class Rep**
It's no use! I'm too late!
**[18:32] Manami**
Is this for me?
**[18:33] Manami**
Thanks, class rep.
**[18:36] Class Rep**
Huh?
**[18:38] Manami**
Did you have a long trip?
**[18:40] Class Rep**
Sangaku...
**[18:44] Class Rep**
I gave it to him...
**[18:45] Fan**
Go, Hakone Academy!
**[18:48] Sakamichi**
Teshima-san! Hurry!
**[18:52] Imaizumi**
Come quickly, Teshima-san.
**[18:54] Imaizumi**
Hakone Academy is so far ahead.
**[18:56] Imaizumi**
Damn.
**[18:58] Imaizumi**
It's so long.
**[18:59] Imaizumi**
Does waiting always feel this long?
**[19:01] Naruko**
I can't wait anymore!
**[19:02] Imaizumi**
Calm down, Naruko!
**[19:04] Imaizumi**
We have to wait!
**[19:05] Naruko**
A moment's decision determines
everything in road racing.
**[19:09] Naruko**
Will we or won't we respond
to our opponents' movements?
**[19:12] Naruko**
That moment is now!
**[19:14] Naruko**
We have to go!
**[19:16] Naruko**
Even if it means leaving Teshima-san behind!
**[19:18] Naruko**
You must understand that!
**[19:24] Naruko**
Let's go, Onoda-kun.
**[19:26] Sakamichi**
Huh?
**[19:27] Naruko**
If we work together, we can
still catch up to them!
**[19:30] Imaizumi**
No, Naruko!
**[19:32] Imaizumi**
Sohoku will accelerate once
all four of us are together!
**[19:34] Imaizumi**
That's an order! Stop, Naruko!
**[19:38] Naruko**
Are you stupid, hotshot?
**[19:39] Naruko**
Whoever breaks the
finish line tape first wins.
**[19:43] Naruko**
The favorites are riding in front of us.
**[19:46] Naruko**
Of course we have to go!
**[19:49] Naruko**
Hotshot...
**[19:52] Naruko**
I can't lose anymore.
**[19:59] Naruko**
Flashy when he wins, flashy when he falls.
**[20:02] Naruko**
The fastest man from Naniwa. That's...
**[20:05] Naruko**
...who Naruko Shoukichi is.
**[20:07] Sakamichi**
Naruko-kun...
**[20:09] Naruko**
Onoda-kun, you don't have to come.
**[20:12] Imaizumi**
Damn it! He left!
**[20:16] Sakamichi**
Before he left, Naruko-kun said
he'd defy your orders alone.
**[20:21] Sakamichi**
That he wouldn't drag me into it.
**[20:23] Imaizumi**
That showoff.
**[20:25] Imaizumi**
You're self-centered, Naruko.
**[20:27] Fan 5**
Sohoku's #3 is here!
**[20:29] Fan 6**
Is he pursuing them alone?
**[20:31] Naruko**
Sorry, hotshot, Onoda-kun, and Teshima-san.
**[20:34] Naruko**
But if someone doesn't go now, we might lose.
**[20:38] Naruko**
How could I not go?
**[20:42] Naruko**
Okay, I've cleared the pass!
**[20:44] Naruko**
Now it's all downhill!
**[20:46] Naruko**
I'll catch up to Hakone Academy!
**[20:48] Naruko**
It's one against six, but I'll show them.
**[20:50] Naruko**
Show them my determination!
**[20:55] Midousuji**
Nice timing, Naruko.
**[20:59] Naruko**
Oh, Midousuji.
**[21:01] Naruko**
Are you going after Hakone Academy now, too?
**[21:04] Midousuji**
You left at the very last
second to catch up, Naruko.
**[21:10] Midousuji**
As expected.
**[21:12] Midousuji**
Hakone Academy would've sped up
if I'd gone after them right away.
**[21:16] Midousuji**
So I let them ride ahead, waiting until
they relaxed and slowed down.
**[21:22] Naruko**
And now you've started chasing them alone?
**[21:27] Midousuji**
Oh, no.
**[21:31] Midousuji**
You think I...
**[21:33] Naruko**
Uh-oh, don't tell me...
**[21:34] Midousuji**
...would do something as reckless as Sohoku?
**[21:40] Midousuji**
They're here right behind us.
**[21:45] Midousuji**
Komari-kun and my Zakus.
**[21:49] Midousuji**
All of them.
**[23:24] Girls**
Manami-kun!
**[23:26] Yuto**
You're as popular as ever, Manami-san.
**[23:30] Girl A**
Isn't Shinkai-kun cute, too?
**[23:32] Girl B**
Yeah!
**[23:33] Girls**
Shinkai-kun!
