**[00:01] Sakamichi**
*I'm in great shape today.*
**[00:03] Sakamichi**
* I beat my time up the rear*
* gate slope by ten seconds.*
**[00:06] Sakamichi**
* I won the Minegayama race the*
* other day, Makishima-san.*
**[00:19] (Flashback) Naruko**
What's up, Onoda-kun? You writing a letter?
**[00:21] (Flashback) Naruko**
To a girl?
**[00:23] (Flashback) Sakamichi**
N-No, it's a report.
**[00:25] (Flashback) Sakamichi**
It's for my math homework.
**[00:26] (Flashback) Naruko**
Sucks for you. That's a lot of pages.
**[00:29] (Flashback) Imaizumi**
Will you even be able to pass this year?
**[00:32] (Flashback) Sakamichi**
What?!
***SIGN*** Sohoku High School Bicycle Racing Club
**[00:37] Sakamichi**
*I don't know his address, though.*
**[00:41] (Flashback) Teshima**
Finished your homework?
**[00:45] (Flashback) Sakamichi**
Teshima-san...
**[00:47] (Flashback) Teshima**
Don't get your hopes up.
**[00:50] (Flashback) Teshima**
He hardly ever writes back.
**[00:53] (Flashback) Teshima**
Even if you pour your concerns
out to him, he just says, "Yeah."
**[00:58] (Flashback) Teshima**
It's Makishima-san's address.
**[01:02] (Flashback) Sakamichi**
What?
**[01:03] (Flashback) Teshima**
I got it from Pierre-sensei.
**[01:06] (Flashback) Teshima**
Now you'll be able to solve
lots of math problems.
**[01:10] (Flashback) Sakamichi**
Yes, sir.
**[01:14] (Flashback) Teshima**
Things change over time.
**[01:16] (Flashback) Teshima**
Until now, you've only needed
to listen to your seniors.
**[01:20] (Flashback) Teshima**
But going forward, you'll have
to use your own judgment.
**[01:24] (Flashback) Teshima**
The first-years will be joining soon.
**[01:26] (Flashback) Teshima**
We'll race in the Inter-High again.
**[01:30] (Flashback) Teshima**
As you lead those first-years, you'll have
to decide your own path for yourself.
**[01:36] (Flashback) Teshima**
If you're ever unsure, do this.
**[01:40] (Flashback) Teshima**
Consider all your options, and pick
the first one that comes to mind.
***SIGN*** Chiba
***SIGN*** Kanagawa
**[01:48] Sakamichi**
Teshima-san's racing in the mountains...
**[01:52] Sakamichi**
On Irohazaka!
***SIGN*** Yowamushi Pedal
***SIGN*** RIDE.23 Sakamichi's Pursuit
**[03:26] Sakamichi**
Teshima-san's racing up Irohazaka.
**[03:29] (Flashback) Teshima**
Irohazaka will be difficult.
**[03:31] (Flashback) Teshima**
It'll be the turning point.
**[03:33] (Flashback) Teshima**
Each team will be sending their ace climber.
**[03:36] Sakamichi**
His only orders were to keep toward
the front and stay with the team.
**[03:41] Sakamichi**
But that can't be right.
**[03:43] Sakamichi**
His message probably the same
as during the Minegayama race.
**[03:49] Sakamichi**
"I'll be waiting for you in
the mountains. Follow me."
**[03:55] Inashiro**
Number 1's pressure changed
the moment he saw the sign.
**[04:00] Inashiro**
Watch out.
**[04:01] Inashiro**
He's going to make his move.
**[04:02] Nagano**
We know.
**[04:03] Shizuoka**
He's not getting anywhere.
**[04:05] Inashiro**
He'll definitely try to surprise us.
**[04:08] Sakamichi**
Excuse me. I'm going to pass you now!
**[04:10] Inashiro**
A direct...
**[04:12] Both**
...declaration of war?
**[04:14] Sakamichi**
Princess!
**[04:15] Inashiro**
"Princess"? What's that?
**[04:17] Shizuoka**
I've heard of this!
**[04:19] Shizuoka**
When Sohoku High School's
Onoda starts singing to himself...
**[04:21] Nagano**
He gets faster!
**[04:23] Sakamichi**
I've always kept these feelings secret!
**[04:28] Sakamichi**
Be my princess forever, ta-tum-tum-tum!
**[04:31] Inashiro**
Just block him!
**[04:34] Sakamichi**
The anime I most highly
recommend, *Love Hime*,
**[04:36] Sakamichi**
ended its first season
amidst great popularity.
**[04:38] Sakamichi**
After taking a break in September,
**[04:40] Sakamichi**
the long-awaited second season
started the other day.
**[04:43] Shizuoka**
First? First what?
**[04:44] Nagano**
Does he think he can place first?
**[04:46] Nagano**
You won't pass us.
**[04:46] Sakamichi**
"The Princess's Spinning One-Sided Love"
is the powered-up
**[04:49] Sakamichi**
second season opening theme of
*Love Hime Pettanko*, which is back on the air!
**[04:56] Nagano**
Opening? What's back?
**[04:59] Inashiro**
I have no idea what he's talking about!
**[05:01] Sakamichi**
Princess!
**[05:03] Sakamichi**
I've always kept these feelings secret!
**[05:05] Shizuoka**
What on earth is he?
**[05:07] Inashiro**
Don't shrink from him! There's three of us!
**[05:08] Sakamichi**
Be my princess forever!
**[05:11] Sakamichi**
I've always kept these feelings secret!
**[05:14] Inashiro**
He's smiling! Can he go even faster?
**[05:16] Sakamichi**
Be my princess forever!
**[05:19] Sakamichi**
Princess! Spin, spin, spin!
**[05:21] Shizuoka**
He passed us!
**[05:21] Sakamichi**
Miracle, spin, spin, spin! Ah, ah, ah!
**[05:22] Inashiro**
A miracle?
**[05:25] Nagano**
But we slowed him down for five minutes.
**[05:27] Nagano**
He can't catch up to the front now.
**[05:29] Inashiro**
I'm not so sure.
**[05:31] Inashiro**
While we were keeping him at a slow pace,
he may have been saving his strength.
**[05:38] Inashiro**
It's possible his dramatic
pursuit is about to begin...
**[05:43] Sakamichi**
Turn! Turn, legs!
**[05:47] Sakamichi**
Princess!
**[05:49] Rider A**
We're going uphill!
**[05:51] Rider B**
"Princess"?
**[05:52] Rider A**
What was Sohoku High School's
#1 doing behind us?
**[05:56] Sakamichi**
Teshima-san, I'm coming.
**[05:59] Shizuoka**
What do you mean, "dramatic pursuit"?
**[06:01] Inashiro**
He means to catch up to the front.
**[06:04] Shizuoka**
That's impossible.
**[06:05] Shizuoka**
We slowed him down for so long.
**[06:07] Shizuoka**
And the pack's ahead of him.
**[06:08] Shizuoka**
It's impossible for him to
race for the mountain results.
**[06:10] Nagano**
When I cut in front of him,
**[06:14] Nagano**
instead of reflexively dodging me
or braking like normal,
**[06:18] Nagano**
he just kept staring off into the distance.
**[06:22] Nagano**
Like his goal was far ahead of him.
**[06:29] Sakamichi**
I've always kept these feelings secret!
**[06:29] Rider C**
#1's coming!
**[06:31] Rider D**
Sohoku High School second-year
Onoda Sakamichi!
**[06:34] Rider E**
Did he break through the barricade?
**[06:34] Sakamichi**
Be my princess forever, ta-tum-tum-tum!
**[06:37] Sakamichi**
Princess! Spin, spin, spin!
**[06:40] Iwakuni**
It's Sohoku High School's
Onoda's Singing Climb!
**[06:40] Sakamichi**
Miracle, spin, spin, spin! Ah, ah, ah!
**[06:43] Okutani**
Don't let him through! Block the road!
**[06:45] Both**
Yes, sir!
**[06:45] Yamagiwa**
Don't bother.
**[06:47] Okutani**
Yamagiwa-san...
**[06:49] Yamagiwa**
Road racing is a gentleman's sport.
**[06:52] Yamagiwa**
Last year's champion
deserves the most respect.
**[06:57] Yamagiwa**
We didn't even send a climber
to compete for the mountains.
**[07:00] Yamagiwa**
Blocking him for no strategic
reason would be uncool.
**[07:07] Yamagiwa**
This is the respect we have for tag #1.
**[07:14] Sakamichi**
Thank you!
**[07:17] Sakamichi**
Thanks for the help.
**[07:18] Sakamichi**
Excuse me.
**[07:20] Rider 1**
His hips are so low.
**[07:21] Rider 2**
That's #1...
**[07:23] Rider 3**
I would've bragged like
crazy if I took #1.
**[07:26] Rider 4**
He's our opponent, but he's still amazing.
**[07:29] Rider 3**
He makes me want to cheer for him.
**[07:31] Fan 1**
It's tag #1!
**[07:33] Fan 2**
The pack's right in front of you!
**[07:36] Fan 2**
Once you pass that, your team's right there!
**[07:38] Sakamichi**
Princess!
**[07:39] Sakamichi**
I can almost see the pack.
**[07:43] Sakamichi**
Once I pass that, I'll be with my team.
**[07:46] Sakamichi**
Excuse me. Let me through, please!
**[07:53] Sakamichi**
Thank you!
**[07:55] Okutani**
You think he'll make it all the way there?
**[07:58] Yamagiwa**
It's not that simple.
**[08:01] Yamagiwa**
Road racing is aiming for victory as a team.
**[08:04] Yamagiwa**
Naturally, there will be some
who won't want to let him pass.
**[08:10] Sakamichi**
I made it through the pack.
**[08:17] Sakamichi**
Kyoto Fushimi High School...
**[08:25] Midousuji**
What's wrong? You look
like you've seen a ghost.
**[08:32] Sakamichi**
Midousuji-kun...
**[08:40] Sakamichi**
Midousuji-kun again...
**[08:42] Midousuji**
You in a hurry?
**[08:45] Midousuji**
Lose something important?
**[08:50] Midousuji**
Something similar happened
last year, didn't it?
**[09:00] Midousuji**
What did you lose?
**[09:02] Midousuji**
Sorry, but I'm controlling this pack.
**[09:07] Sakamichi**
I need to get past Midousuji-kun.
**[09:10] Sakamichi**
Through Kyoto Fushimi High School.
**[09:17] Sakamichi**
Komori-kun...
**[09:18] Midousuji**
You must've lost something
irreplaceable to you.
**[09:24] Midousuji**
Was it your trust? Your role?
**[09:26] Midousuji**
Your eyes are desperate.
**[09:28] Sakamichi**
I need to get back to the others.
**[09:31] Sakamichi**
To Teshima-san!
**[09:33] Midousuji**
But whatever you've lost isn't coming back.
**[09:39] Sakamichi**
Let me through!
**[09:43] Mizuta**
You're not getting through, #1.
**[09:46] Mizuta**
As Kyoto Fushimi High School's
captain and secret ace,
**[09:50] Mizuta**
and as a rider must stronger than I was
last year, I, Mizuta Nobuyuki, will stop you.
**[09:54] Mizuta**
I'm the guy who stopped Hakone Academy
High School's #2, Arakita Yasutomo.
**[09:58] Mizuta**
I am Kyoto Fushimi High School's Iron Wall!
**[10:00] Midousuji**
Mizuta-kun!
**[10:03] Midousuji**
All I did was instruct you to enter Phase 9.
**[10:07] Midousuji**
Stop #1 if he tries to get ahead.
**[10:10] Midousuji**
I didn't say you could chat with him.
**[10:14] Sakamichi**
Midousuji-kun looked bigger for a second.
**[10:17] Mizuta**
I-I'm not.
**[10:18] Mizuta**
As the team's captain, I was
just telling him who we are.
**[10:21] Midousuji**
We don't need that kind of vanity.
**[10:26] Midousuji**
What my team needs is
perfect soldiers. True Zakus.
**[10:32] Midousuji**
With only the will to move forward,
even if their arms and legs fall off.
**[10:35] Midousuji**
If you're going to show off your
individuality just because it's the Inter-High,
**[10:40] Midousuji**
I'll let you go...
**[10:42] Midousuji**
At any time.
**[10:45] Mizuta**
I-I get it, Midousuji-kun.
**[10:50] Yamaguchi**
Midousuji...
**[10:52] (Flashback) Midousuji**
We have only one goal this year.
**[10:56] (Flashback) Midousuji**
And that's victory.
**[10:59] Yamaguchi**
*He seems bigger lately.*
**[11:01] Yamaguchi**
*That pressure...*
**[11:04] (Flashback) Midousuji**
Anyone thinking too many stupid
thoughts to keep up can quit.
**[11:11] Yamaguchi**
Eighty percent of the first-years
who joined this year quit.
**[11:16] Sign**
Kyoto Fushimi High School
Graduation
**[11:17] (Flashback) Yamaguchi**
There you are, Ishigaki-san.
**[11:21] (Flashback) Ishigaki**
I graduated.
**[11:23] (Flashback) Ishigaki**
I need to thank you, Yama.
**[11:26] (Flashback) Ishigaki**
Thanks for your help.
**[11:27] (Flashback) Yamaguchi**
Oh, no. Thank you.
**[11:30] (Flashback) Ishigaki**
You worked hard at the Inter-High.
**[11:33] (Flashback) Ishigaki**
I remember how you pulled on the
flats during the second day.
**[11:38] (Flashback) Ishigaki**
It was amazing.
**[11:39] (Flashback) Yamaguchi**
I dropped out in the mountains
after that, though.
**[11:43] (Flashback) Ishigaki**
I'm counting on you to
carry the team next year.
**[11:45] (Flashback) Yamaguchi**
What?
**[11:46] (Flashback) Yamaguchi**
You should be telling
Mizuta and Midousuji that.
**[11:49] (Flashback) Yamaguchi**
I'll just be doing my
best as their assistant.
**[11:53] (Flashback) Yamaguchi**
Everyone's waiting.
**[11:54] (Flashback) Yamaguchi**
Let's go to the third-year sendoff party.
**[11:57] (Flashback) Yamaguchi**
Midousuji won't be there, though.
**[12:00] (Flashback) Ishigaki**
Yama...
**[12:03] (Flashback) Ishigaki**
You're a patient guy.
**[12:06] (Flashback) Yamaguchi**
What?
**[12:08] (Flashback) Ishigaki**
Midousuji is a talented rider.
**[12:10] (Flashback) Ishigaki**
His legs are strong,
and his instincts are good.
**[12:12] (Flashback) Ishigaki**
He has leadership qualities, too.
**[12:14] (Flashback) Ishigaki**
But to win at road races,
**[12:18] (Flashback) Ishigaki**
in the end, you need a conscience to
tell you to believe in each other.
**[12:22] (Flashback) Ishigaki**
Yama, you have to be Midousuji's conscience.
**[12:26] (Flashback) Yamaguchi**
What?
**[12:27] (Flashback) Ishigaki**
When the time comes, the one
who stops Midousuji will be...
**[12:31] Ishigaki**
*...you, Yama.*
**[12:34] Yamaguchi**
You want me to stop Midousuji?
**[12:36] Yamaguchi**
Can I do that?
**[12:39] Midousuji**
I know this guy can be trouble, too.
**[12:45] Midousuji**
After all, he took the final peak last year.
**[12:50] Midousuji**
It's been a while, Sakamichi.
**[12:54] Sakamichi**
Midousuji-kun...
**[12:57] Sakamichi**
Let me through!
**[13:00] Midousuji**
Let you through?
**[13:02] Midousuji**
Do you want to go? No matter what?
**[13:06] Midousuji**
In that case...
**[13:08] Midousuji**
Shall we work together?
**[13:11] Sakamichi**
Work together?
**[13:12] Midousuji**
You really think you'll make it to the
front when you're this far behind?
**[13:17] Midousuji**
Even if you did catch up, you'd be exhausted.
**[13:21] Midousuji**
You might not be able to accomplish anything.
**[13:25] Midousuji**
But if you and I ride together,
**[13:30] Midousuji**
we'll be half as tired.
**[13:33] Midousuji**
I know. I'll send Yamaguchi-kun, too.
**[13:39] Midousuji**
We'll have him pedal, too.
**[13:42] Midousuji**
Then we'll be one-third as tired.
**[13:45] Midousuji**
I want to go to the front. So do you.
**[13:49] Midousuji**
Our goals are aligned.
**[13:51] Midousuji**
What could be more convenient?
**[13:54] Sakamichi**
I thought he would try to stop me.
**[13:59] Midousuji**
Come on.
**[14:01] Midousuji**
We fought each other last year.
**[14:05] Midousuji**
There's no need to hold back.
I'll pull first.
**[14:09] Midousuji**
Why are you thinking? Don't think so much.
**[14:13] Midousuji**
Anyone would take the faster
train to get to their destination,
**[14:16] Midousuji**
if the express and regular
trains cost the same.
**[14:21] Midousuji**
You're supposed to say yes.
**[14:23] Midousuji**
It's simple.
**[14:26] Sakamichi**
What will happen if I go with Midousuji-kun?
**[14:28] Sakamichi**
I'll get there faster, but is that all?
**[14:31] Sakamichi**
Think, think. Um...
**[14:35] Midousuji**
Let's go together.
**[14:38] Midousuji**
Take me to the front,
**[14:40] Midousuji**
and you can fight for the mountain
result to your heart's content.
**[14:45] Midousuji**
I'll be cheering for you.
**[14:47] Midousuji**
But after that, I'll be
taking the finish line.
**[14:53] Midousuji**
Hurry up. The train's leaving.
**[14:56] Midousuji**
Beeeeep.
**[14:57] Sakamichi**
Think, think...
**[14:59] Midousuji**
Please hurry if you're boarding the train.
**[15:02] Midousuji**
Tweedle, tweedle, tweedle...
**[15:03] Sakamichi**
Think, think.
**[15:06] (Flashback) Teshima**
You'll have to decide your
own path for yourself.
**[15:10] (Flashback) Teshima**
If you're ever unsure, do this.
**[15:14] (Flashback) Teshima**
Consider all your options, and pick
the first one that comes to mind.
**[15:20] Sakamichi**
Sorry, but I'll pass.
**[15:23] Sakamichi**
I'll reach the front on my own.
**[15:25] Sakamichi**
Sorry for rejecting your offer, Midousuji-kun!
**[15:29] Yamaguchi**
He said no under these circumstances.
**[15:32] Midousuji**
Huh...
**[15:34] Midousuji**
Apparently, he's not an idiot.
**[15:36] Sakamichi**
So let me through!
**[15:38] Midousuji**
I can't do that, but if you can
break away from him, you can go.
**[15:48] Midousuji**
Yamaguchi-kun.
**[15:50] Yamaguchi**
What?
**[15:51] Midousuji**
You're up.
**[15:54] Sakamichi**
This guy...
**[15:56] Sakamichi**
I just have to break away from this guy.
**[15:58] Midousuji**
You can handle Phase 11, can't you?
**[16:02] Midousuji**
Go stop #1.
**[16:04] Yamaguchi**
What?
**[16:06] Mizuta**
You're not sending me, Midousuji-kun?
**[16:08] Midousuji**
You can do it if you throw away the
unnecessary things you're dearly holding onto.
**[16:15] Ishigaki**
*You have to be Midousuji's conscience.*
**[16:21] Sakamichi**
Princess!
**[16:22] Midousuji**
Hurry up, Yamaguchi-kun.
**[16:29] Yamaguchi**
He's fast.
**[16:33] Yamagushi**
Why am I chasing after #1 in the mountains?
**[16:37] Yamaguchi**
I'm...
**[16:38] Yamaguchi**
I'm a sprinter, Midousuji.
**[16:45] (Flashback) Ishigaki**
Be his conscience.
**[16:47] Yamaguchi**
Why does everyone always make
such unreasonable demands of me?
**[16:53] Yamaguchi**
I can't do it.
**[16:54] Yamaguchi**
I just used up all my strength.
**[16:58] Yamaguchi**
I can't stop him. I...
**[17:02] (Flashback) Ishigaki**
Are you a first-year?
**[17:04] (Flashback) Ishigaki**
Still deciding which club to join?
**[17:05] (Flashback) Yamaguchi**
Yeah. I used to play basketball,
**[17:08] (Flashback) Yamaguchi**
but I thought I'd do something
different in high school.
**[17:10] (Flashback) Ishigaki**
Why don't you try biking?
**[17:12] (Flashback) Ishigaki**
We've got a good team,
and we win regularly in Kyoto.
**[17:16] (Flashback) Yamaguchi**
I can't join a club that's too strong.
**[17:18] (Flashback) Yamaguchi**
I could never be the best, and I don't
like being the center of attention.
**[17:23] (Flashback) Ishigaki**
Bike riding is a team sport.
**[17:26] (Flashback) Ishigaki**
It's a sport of people who
work behind the scenes.
**[17:29] Yamaguchi**
*A team sport...*
**[17:32] (Flashback) Ishigaki**
That's it. Hold that position.
**[17:35] (Flashback) Yamaguchi**
Yes, sir.
**[17:36] (Flashback) Ishigaki**
Hold that position until you
make it through the corner.
**[17:39] (Flashback) Yamaguchi**
Yes, sir.
**[17:40] (Flashback) Ishigaki**
Thanks, Yama.
**[17:42] (Flashback) Ishigaki**
Thanks to you, I won.
**[17:44] (Flashback) Yamaguchi**
Yes, sir.
**[17:46] Yamaguchi**
I thought I was happy living in the shadows.
**[17:51] Yamaguchi**
Honestly, I was uncertain when I was
chosen to be on the Inter-High team.
**[17:55] Yamaguchi**
I can't handle fighting on the
front lines of the Inter-High.
**[18:11] Yamaguchi**
Wa...
**[18:13] Yamaguchi**
Wait!
**[18:21] Yamaguchi**
How did he reject Midousuji like that?
**[18:25] Yamaguchi**
He seems like a pushover. He's so small.
**[18:29] Yamaguchi**
How can he climb like that?
**[18:32] Yamaguchi**
He smells like a man of the shadows, like me.
**[18:36] Yamaguchi**
Is he not?
**[18:40] Yamaguchi**
Who waits when their opponents
tell them to wait?
**[18:45] Yamaguchi**
Onoda must be a good guy.
**[18:48] Yamaguchi**
You were right to reject Midousuji's offer.
**[18:53] Yamaguchi**
If you'd worked together with Midousuji,
Sohoku High School would've lost.
**[19:00] Sakamichi**
Really?
**[19:02] Yamaguchi**
You have good instincts.
**[19:04] Sakamichi**
Th-Thank you, um...
**[19:07] Yamaguchi**
I'm a third-year, Yama.
**[19:10] Sakamichi**
Yama-san...
**[19:12] Sakamichi**
Excuse me!
**[19:16] Yamaguchi**
What a strange guy.
**[19:18] Yamaguchi**
"He has a strange aura about him."
**[19:21] Yamaguchi**
Ishigaki-san said the same thing.
**[19:24] Yamaguchi**
An aura different from Midousuji's.
**[19:34] Kaburagi**
Onoda-san!
**[19:35] Sakamichi**
Sorry I'm late!
**[19:38] Naruko**
You idiot! How long were
you gonna make us wait?
**[19:41] Sakamichi**
Sorry.
**[19:43] Kaburagi**
You made it through that
pack? That's amazing.
**[19:46] Aoyagi**
Good work catching up. Rest in the back.
**[19:50] Sakamichi**
Um, I-I...
**[19:54] Kuroda**
Touichirou...
**[19:55] Kuroda**
Trouble caught up.
**[19:57] Yuto**
Want me to keep him in check?
**[19:59] Izumida**
No, don't bother.
**[20:01] Izumida**
There's no need to waste our energy.
**[20:05] Imaizumi**
I'm directing the team right now.
**[20:09] Imaizumi**
This is what Teshima-san told us.
**[20:12] (Flashback) Teshima**
If Onoda makes it through the
blockade and catches up to the team,
**[20:15] (Flashback) Teshima**
send him to the front if he's less
than three and a half minutes behind.
**[20:19] (Flashback) Teshima**
Onoda's strong enough to
catch up to the front.
**[20:21] (Flashback) Teshima**
But if it's more than that...
**[20:25] Imaizumi**
You can't catch up to the front.
**[20:27] Imaizumi**
It's already been four and
a half. It's been too long.
**[20:31] Sakamichi**
Imaizumi-kun...
**[20:33] Imaizumi**
No matter how hard you pedal, you may not
even catch a glimpse of Teshima-san's back.
**[20:37] Imaizumi**
It's smarter for you to rest
your legs with the team.
**[20:42] Imaizumi**
Do you still want to go?
**[20:44] Sakamichi**
Yeah.
**[20:46] Imaizumi**
Sheesh. You're unbelievable.
**[20:49] Sakamichi**
Sorry.
**[20:51] Imaizumi**
Take this.
**[20:53] Imaizumi**
When Teshima-san left, he left
one behind to lighten his load.
**[20:58] Imaizumi**
He's probably parched.
**[21:01] Naruko**
Tell him we're rooting for him.
**[21:04] Aoyagi**
Onoda...
**[21:06] Aoyagi**
Junta is fighting.
**[21:09] Aoyagi**
Take our hopes.
**[21:13] Aoyagi**
Take them to him, Sakamichi!
**[21:17] Sakamichi**
Yes, sir!
**[22:54] Kotori**
I'm going to be late.
**[22:56] Mage**
Unbelievable. You're a
second-year starting today.
**[22:59] Mage**
You haven't matured at all, Kotori-sama.
**[23:02] Kotori**
Yeah, but...
**[23:04] Kotori**
When I think about seeing
Arimaru-kun again...
**[23:11] Kotaro**
You're as defenseless as ever, Kotori.
**[23:14] Kotori**
Sheesh.
**[23:15] Kotori**
You're so mean, Kotaro-kun.
**[23:17] Kotaro**
I'll take care of you from now on.
**[23:23] Kotori**
Why is my heart pounding?
**[23:26] Song**
I've always kept (spin, spin)
**[23:28] Song**
These feelings secret (spin, spin)
**[23:31] Song**
Be my princess forever (ta-tum-tum-tum)
**[23:34] Imaizumi**
What?
