**[00:07] Naruko**
What'd you want to talk about, Hotshot?
**[00:11] Imaizumi**
You must've noticed, too.
**[00:14] Imaizumi**
It's about that.
**[00:17] Imaizumi**
Since Makishima-san left and Tadokoro-san
and Kinjou-san stopped coming to practice,
**[00:22] Imaizumi**
we've started practicing with
just Teshima-san and Aoyagi-san.
**[00:27] Imaizumi**
You must feel it, too. Keenly.
**[00:31] Imaizumi**
The huge size of the hole
left by the third-years.
**[00:41] Naruko**
Not really.
**[00:42] Imaizumi**
It's not Teshima-san and Aoyagi-san's fault.
**[00:45] Imaizumi**
They've gotten more than strong enough.
**[00:48] Imaizumi**
But the reality is our
practices have gotten weaker
**[00:50] Imaizumi**
than when the third-years were around.
**[00:54] Imaizumi**
We experienced it firsthand
at this year's Inter-High.
**[00:57] Imaizumi**
Its fierceness, its level, its brutality.
**[01:01] Imaizumi**
At this rate...
**[01:04] Imaizumi**
We can't win next year.
**[01:07] Imaizumi**
Not even a single stage.

**[01:10] Imaizumi**
Even the sprint and mountain tags
could fall out of our reach.
**[01:19] Naruko**
What are we supposed to do, then?
**[01:21] Naruko**
All we can do is practice.
**[01:23] Imaizumi**
Naruko...
**[01:25] Imaizumi**
You should become an all-rounder like me.
**[01:29] Imaizumi**
Abandon the sprint.
**[01:30] Naruko**
Hotshot, who do you think you're talking to?
**[01:33] Imaizumi**
Cry all you want, but the
third-years aren't coming back.
**[01:37] Imaizumi**
We have to change.
**[01:39] Naruko**
Are you stupid? I'm the Speedman
of Naniwa, Naruko Shoukichi!
**[01:43] Imaizumi**
Our team doesn't have enough riders who
can aim for the finish line right now.
**[01:48] Imaizumi**
Road racing is a race to
reach the finish line.
**[01:53] Imaizumi**
If you start working on it now,
you'll be ready by the Inter-High.
**[01:56] Naruko**
What?
**[01:57] Imaizumi**
Spend less time practicing
on flats and climb.
**[02:00] Imaizumi**
You need to change your style completely.
**[02:05] Naruko**
I can't do that.
**[02:06] Naruko**
No way. I refuse.
**[02:08] Naruko**
Besides, we're classmates.
I don't take orders from you.
**[02:12] Imaizumi**
It's for the team. It's so we can win.
**[02:14] Imaizumi**
You already showed a glimpse
of that at the Inter-High.
**[02:19] Imaizumi**
You climbed despite being a sprinter.
**[02:21] Imaizumi**
That's not something a normal rider can do.
**[02:24] Imaizumi**
You can climb. You have
the right feel for it.
**[02:26] Imaizumi**
Your body is light, too.
**[02:27] Imaizumi**
You already have a keen nose for the goal.
**[02:30] Imaizumi**
Do it.
**[02:35] Naruko**
I can't.
**[02:36] Naruko**
I can't let the quiet one pass me now.
**[02:40] Naruko**
Sorry, Hotshot.
**[02:42] Naruko**
I'm a pure sprinter.

**[02:53] Boy**
I'm nervous.
**[02:55] Boy**
I know. I'll use this to relax.
**[03:00] Boy**
Okay, I'm ready.
**[03:02] Boy**
Ready, and...
**[03:03] Boy**
Thanks for the food!
**[03:10] Teshima**
We had an unexpected visitor.
**[03:12] Teshima**
A local middle school student
came to watch us practice.
**[03:14] Teshima**
He didn't realize the door was locked
and pulled as hard as he could.
**[03:18] Aoyagi**
Rice Boy...
**[03:21] Sugimoto**
You're the one who broke
our legendary club's door?
**[03:25] Boy**
Teru-chan, I'm here.
**[03:28] Sakamichi**
He's huge!
**[03:29] Sugimoto**
Sadatoki!
**[03:31] Sakamichi**
What?
**[03:32] Aoyagi**
You know him, Sugimoto?
**[03:34] Sugimoto**
Yes. Can you introduce yourself, Sadatoki?
**[03:38] Sadatoki**
Yeah, Teru-chan.
**[03:40] Sadatoki**
I'm studying to get into Sohoku!
**[03:43] Sadatoki**
If I pass the exam, I hope
to join the bicycle club!
**[03:46] Sadatoki**
My name is Sugimoto Sadatoki!
**[03:49] Teshima**
Sugimoto?
**[03:51] Sadatoki**
My dream is to race with
my brother Teru-chan!
**[03:54] Sakamichi**
Y-You're Sugimoto-kun's younger brother?
**[03:57] Sadatoki**
One, two.
**[03:58] Sadatoki**
One, two. One, two.
**[04:01] Sugimoto**
Go, Sadatoki!
**[04:03] Sugimoto**
Go, go!
**[04:05] Sugimoto**
Strong, isn't he?
**[04:08] Sakamichi**
Th-That's amazing.
**[04:10] Sadatoki**
Um, are you Onoda-san?
**[04:12] Sakamichi**
Yes.
**[04:13] Sadatoki**
My brother's told me all about you.
**[04:17] Sadatoki**
I'm a huge fan of yours.
**[04:19] Sakamichi**
Huh? What?!
**[04:21] Sadatoki**
Onoda-san, you're small.
Far smaller than I imagined.
**[04:25] Sadatoki**
But you're strong. You're so cool.
**[04:28] Sakamichi**
Oh, I'm not...
**[04:30] Sadatoki**
If I get accepted by Sohoku
and get into the bicycle club,
**[04:34] Sadatoki**
I want to become an
incredible rider like you.
**[04:40] Sakamichi**
Yeah, g-good luck.
**[04:42] Sadatoki**
Thank you!
**[04:45] Friend**
I can't believe you have someone
who wants to join the club already.
**[04:48] Friend**
The bicycle club's all set.
**[04:51] Friend**
Miki?
**[04:53] Miki**
Sorry, yeah. You're right.
**[04:57] Sugimoto**
Shall we get practice started, then?
**[05:00] Sugimoto**
We're training on Minegayama
today, right, Teshima-san?
**[05:02] Sugimoto**
Sadatoki's been wanting
to ride with you, Onoda.
**[05:05] Sakamichi**
What?
**[05:06] Imaizumi**
I'm against it.
**[05:10] Imaizumi**
I've been listening.
**[05:11] Imaizumi**
Hey, big boy. Ride this.
**[05:15] Both**
A th-three-drum roller?
**[05:18] Imaizumi**
It's a test. If you can't ride this,
I won't let you participate in our practice.
**[05:22] Sugimoto**
You can't be serious.
**[05:24] Sugimoto**
Sadatoki's never rode one before.
**[05:26] Imaizumi**
Every day of practice counts
for us. We're desperate.
**[05:31] Imaizumi**
We can't give you special treatment
just because you're someone's brother.
**[05:35] Imaizumi**
You have only one chance.
**[05:36] Imaizumi**
If you fail, leave.
**[05:38] Sakamichi**
Imaizumi-kun.
**[05:39] Sugimoto**
But it's hard to balance
on three-drum rollers...
**[05:42] Sugimoto**
At least give him a few chances.
**[05:47] Imaizumi**
Can he succeed with only one chance?
**[05:50] Imaizumi**
In road racing, that's an important factor.
**[05:55] Imaizumi**
Onoda did it.
**[06:08] Imaizumi**
Huh.
**[06:09] Sugimoto**
Well, that was easy.
**[06:12] Teshima**
We can afford to take him to
one practice to see how he does.
**[06:18] Imaizumi**
Yes, sir.
**[06:19] Teshima**
So, how good is he on a bike?
**[06:22] Sugimoto**
You mean Sadatoki? He's fine.
**[06:25] Sugimoto**
After all, I've taught him everything
I know about road racing.
**[06:34] Imaizumi**
He's so slow.
**[06:35] Imaizumi**
He's strong enough to lift a mommy bike,
but he's a slow sprinter.
**[06:40] Teshima**
Maybe it's his form.
**[06:42] Imaizumi**
His form is awful. It's just like Sugimoto's.
**[06:45] Imaizumi**
It's inefficient.
**[06:47] Imaizumi**
He may have been good enough to ride on
the roller, but he's no good on a bike.
**[06:50] Sakamichi**
Wait, Imaizumi-kun.
**[06:53] Sakamichi**
Sadatoki-kun's strength could be climbing.
**[06:59] Imaizumi**
Looks like you were wrong.
**[07:01] Imaizumi**
It's another exact copy.
**[07:04] Sakamichi**
Sadatoki-kun, you can do it.
**[07:06] Sakamichi**
I mean, when you're climbing, uh...
**[07:10] Sadatoki**
Yes, sir. What am I supposed to do?
**[07:13] Imaizumi**
He's wasting his time.
**[07:14] Imaizumi**
Let's go, Teshima-san.
**[07:17] Imaizumi**
If there's anything he's specialized at,
it's being in perfect sync with his brother.
**[07:23] (Flashback) Sugimoto**
Let's go.
**[07:25] Teshima**
Synchronization?
**[07:29] Imaizumi**
Maybe this is how they felt.
**[07:32] Imaizumi**
As younger members join the team,
**[07:35] Imaizumi**
you pray for just a handful
you can use at the Inter-High.
**[07:43] Imaizumi**
Then your intentions just might reach them.
**[07:46] Imaizumi**
It's a crushing, almost wishful feeling.
**[07:52] Imaizumi**
Is that how you felt, Kinjou-san,
Tadokoro-san, Makishima-san?
**[07:58] Imaizumi**
I guess I had hoped for more.
**[08:02] Imaizumi**
Honestly, I'm disappointed
by our current situation.
**[08:06] Imaizumi**
Let's go, Onoda.
**[08:08] Imaizumi**
Unfortunately, we have to leave them behind.
**[08:10] Imaizumi**
We don't have any more time for them.
**[08:12] Both**
What?
**[08:13] Imaizumi**
We have things we have to do today.
**[08:17] Imaizumi**
We're facing the entire country.
**[08:26] Sadatoki**
Thanks for the food.
**[08:27] Sadatoki**
No, wait. I mean thank you.
**[08:30] Sadatoki**
I had fun riding with you, Onoda-san.
**[08:34] Sugimoto**
It's okay. I'll ride with Sadatoki.
**[08:40] Sakamichi**
Sorry I couldn't do anything for you.
**[08:49] Teshima**
Imaizumi, do you have some time to spare?
**[08:51] Teshima**
Maybe about three minutes.
**[08:53] Imaizumi**
Teshima-san?
**[08:54] Teshima**
Go ride with Rice Boy for three minutes.
**[08:58] Imaizumi**
No, thank you. We've already
reached a conclusion.
**[09:01] Teshima**
Are you sure?
**[09:03] Teshima**
Unlike his brother, he's big and powerful.
**[09:07] Teshima**
He even had a good enough sense
of balance to ride on the roller.
**[09:10] Teshima**
But he was slow on a bike. Why?
**[09:13] Imaizumi**
Because of his form.
He's copying his brother's form.
**[09:18] Imaizumi**
Sugimoto's form makes him lose power.
**[09:21] Imaizumi**
Without power, you get left
behind in road racing.
**[09:24] Imaizumi**
That's why he always falls behind.
**[09:27] Teshima**
Then what if his form were improved?
**[09:29] Imaizumi**
Then... No, it can't be fixed that quickly.
**[09:33] Imaizumi**
At the very least, not in three minutes.
**[09:35] Teshima**
Are you sure? Couldn't you do it?
**[09:39] Teshima**
You said he had the power to synchronize.
**[09:44] Teshima**
Go test it out. It means he has potential.
**[09:48] Imaizumi**
Potential?
**[09:50] Teshima**
Imaizumi, isn't that how
you brought Team Sohoku...
**[09:56] Teshima**
its top-class ace climber?
**[10:01] Imaizumi**
Onoda...
**[10:06] Sakamichi**
Huh? Imaizumi-kun?
**[10:08] Sadatoki**
Imaizumi-san?
**[10:10] Imaizumi**
Big boy, you get one chance.
**[10:12] Imaizumi**
Forget everything your brother
taught you about road racing.
**[10:16] Sugimoto**
What are you talking about?
**[10:20] Imaizumi**
Copy that small bespectacled guy's form
and do your best to catch up to him.
**[10:27] Sadatoki**
My idol Onoda-san's form?
**[10:30] Sugimoto**
He should be able to handle that.
Sadatoki's a fast learner.
**[10:36] Sugimoto**
And Sadatoki's watched videos
of the first-year race
**[10:39] Sugimoto**
and our training camp over and over.
**[10:43] Sadatoki**
Onoda-san's...
**[10:45] Sadatoki**
Onoda-san...
**[10:46] Imaizumi**
The pressure changed. Is he...
**[10:49] Sadatoki**
Onoda-san!
**[10:54] Sadatoki**
Onoda-san!
**[10:57] Sakamichi**
H-How?
**[11:00] Sadatoki**
I-I caught up.
**[11:04] Sakamichi**
Sadatoki-kun!
**[11:06] Sugimoto**
Are you okay, Sadatoki?
**[11:08] Imaizumi**
It was only for a moment,
but he copied his form perfectly.
**[11:12] Imaizumi**
He succeeded twice with only
a single chance each time.
**[11:16] Imaizumi**
Was it a coincidence? If it wasn't, then...
**[11:19] Sadatoki**
Thanks for the food, Onoda-san.
**[11:21] Sakamichi**
Oh, it's fine.
**[11:22] Sadatoki**
Thanks for the food.
**[11:23] Sakamichi**
No, really. Thank you.
**[11:25] Sadatoki**
Thank you.
**[11:26] Teshima**
Smile, Imaizumi.
**[11:28] Teshima**
You're supposed to praise your
juniors when they do well.
**[11:35] Sadatoki**
Thanks for the food.
**[11:35] Sakamichi**
Really, it's okay.
**[11:37] Imaizumi**
Rice Boy.
**[11:39] Sadatoki**
Yes?
**[11:41] Imaizumi**
G-Good job.
**[11:44] Sakamichi**
Imaizumi-kun, what's wrong with you?
**[11:46] Sugimoto**
I-Imaizumi is making a conflicted face!
**[11:49] Imaizumi**
I can't do it. I don't
compliment people often.
**[11:54] Sadatoki**
Thanks for the food.
**[11:56] Imaizumi**
Uh, I...
**[12:05] Naruko**
Thanks for staying late.
**[12:07] Teshima**
What did you want to talk about?
**[12:10] Naruko**
Could I take time off
practice over the holiday?
**[12:15] Naruko**
I'm having doubts about what's right
for me and the path I should take.
**[12:21] Naruko**
I'm sorry. It's only a possibility, but...
**[12:26] Naruko**
Could I quit being a sprinter?
**[12:34] Teshima**
Quit being a sprinter?
**[12:37] Naruko**
It's only a maybe. I'm just
saying it's a possibility.
**[12:43] Teshima**
That's alarming. It affects our team.
**[12:48] Teshima**
Tadokoro-san passed on the role
of sprinter to you.
**[12:53] Teshima**
Your abilities leave nothing to be desired.
**[12:55] Teshima**
What is there to worry about?
**[13:00] Naruko**
I'm sorry! Please don't ask,
just give me the three days off!
**[13:03] Naruko**
I'm thinking of going home to Osaka.
**[13:06] Naruko**
I want to return to where
I started and think things over.
**[13:09] Naruko**
I want to find my own answer.
**[13:13] Teshima**
You're not too smart, are you?
**[13:15] Teshima**
You've been too stubborn
**[13:17] Teshima**
to ask Tadokoro-san about whatever's
bothering you, haven't you?
**[13:22] Naruko**
I...
**[13:23] Teshima**
It means it's too heavy a
concern to discuss with others.
**[13:27] Teshima**
Naruko, that sounds just like you.
**[13:30] Teshima**
You can go until you're satisfied.
**[13:34] Naruko**
I'm back to the city where
I was born and raised, Osaka!
***SIGN*** Naruko Snacks
***SIGN*** Naruko Shoukichi-kun
Congratulations on your team's victory!
Celebrating a triumphant return!!
**[13:54] Naruko**
I guess I'll go to where it all started.
**[14:03] Naruko**
I might be able to find something here.
**[14:08] Naruko**
This brings back memories.
It's been six months.
**[14:12] Naruko**
That sign's the finish line.
**[14:15] Naruko**
The fastest guys in Osaka gather here.
**[14:23] Naruko**
I learned to sprint by racing here every day.
**[14:28] Naruko**
They're so cool.
**[14:31] Naruko**
This is where I first
encountered road racing!
**[14:34] Naruko**
My home course!
**[14:36] Naruko**
This is where everything started!
**[14:39] Naruko**
One lap is 600 meters of 250-meter
straights and one turn.
**[14:44] Naruko**
Fighting against and
utilizing the sea breeze,
**[14:47] Naruko**
I used tricks, instinct, and
technique to seize victory!
**[14:51] Man 1**
He's fast!
**[14:51] Man 2**
His cornering and speed are incredible!
**[14:54] Man 3**
That jersey...
**[14:56] Man 3**
That's Chiba's Sohoku!
**[14:57] Man 1**
What? You mean this year's
Inter-High winners?
**[15:00] Man 3**
I heard a red-headed sprinter
from Osaka joined Chiba's Sohoku.
**[15:05] Man 1**
The sprinter Naruko Shoukichi!
**[15:08] Naruko**
Sprinter...
**[15:11] Naruko**
Fast, flashy, and speeding
through corners at top speed.
**[15:14] Naruko**
Racing past the scenery
faster than everyone else.
**[15:17] Naruko**
A world of glorious make-or-break contests.
**[15:21] Naruko**
That's what it means to be a sprinter!
**[15:22] Naruko**
It's the world I admired! The path I believed in!
**[15:27] Naruko**
I can't abandon this that easily.
**[15:30] Naruko**
My red blood is screaming for it!
**[15:34] Kakimoto**
Let's race, Sohoku.
How does three laps sound?
**[15:39] Kakimoto**
I'm Handai High School's sprinter,
Kakimoto Ryudai.
**[15:44] Kakimoto**
They call me the Dragon
of Rokko's Winter Winds.
**[15:46] Kakimoto**
I'm undefeated on this course.
**[15:50] Naruko**
Bring it on. Let's do three laps.
**[15:52] Naruko**
If I fail here, I'll have failed
as a sprinter. I'll give it up.
**[15:56] Kakimoto**
Ready, go!
**[15:59] Naruko**
You won't beat me!
**[16:02] Naruko**
The answer can always be found in battle.
**[16:05] Man 1**
First lap!
**[16:06] Man 1**
It's a race between the red-haired Sohoku
rider Naruko and Handai High's Kakimoto!
**[16:10] Naruko**
It seems like it's true this Kakimoto
guy is undefeated on this course.
**[16:15] Naruko**
He's keeping up with me.
**[16:17] Man 1**
Third lap! One lap left!
**[16:21] Kakimoto**
Sohoku's Naruko, your sprinting
and cornering are incredible.
**[16:25] Kakimoto**
It's no wonder you won nationals.
**[16:27] Kakimoto**
But this is an unofficial race.
Anything goes on this different kind of track.
**[16:35] Kakimoto**
I'll show you why they really call me the
Night Dragon of Rokko's Winter Winds.
**[16:42] Man 1**
There it is!
**[16:43] Man 2**
The Night Dragon Kakimoto special!
**[16:47] Kakimoto**
Surprised? Of course you are.
**[16:49] Kakimoto**
Not only am I fast, but I glow!
**[16:53] Kakimoto**
Like a nightscape of Kobe seen from
Mt. Rokko, I'm worth a million dollars.
**[16:59] Kakimoto**
Why Kobe when I'm from Osaka?
They're close enough.
**[17:02] Kakimoto**
Don't worry about the details.
**[17:05] Naruko**
That's so cool!
**[17:08] Kakimoto**
Now it's full speed ahead!
It's a straight line to the finish line!
**[17:11] Naruko**
Oh, whoops. Calm down.
**[17:14] Naruko**
I'm in the middle of the race.
**[17:15] Naruko**
This is no time to be admiring his bike.
**[17:17] Man 1**
Naruko's fallen behind!
**[17:18] Naruko**
No matter the circumstances, I'll win.
**[17:20] Naruko**
I learned this feeling during the Inter-High.
**[17:25] Naruko**
Move, idiot! The flashiest man here...
**[17:31] Naruko**
is me, Naruko Shoukichi! Yeah!
**[17:36] Man 1**
What was that? Amazing!
**[17:38] Man 1**
He stretched so far ahead
before the finish line!
**[17:40] Man 2**
That's how the champions, Sohoku, sprint!
**[17:45] Daitsubu**
If I beat you, I'll be top-class.
**[17:48] Daitsubu**
Sohoku's Naruko, I'm your next opponent.
**[17:52] Daitsubu**
It's been a while.
**[17:54] Daitsubu**
I'm Nara Sanri Academy's white-hot
sprinter, Daitsubu Takeshi.
**[17:58] Daitsubu**
I'll only turn the other cheek thrice.
**[18:00] Naruko**
Who the hell is he?
**[18:03] Daitsubu**
This is my bike.
**[18:06] Naruko**
That's...
**[18:07] Daitsubu**
They're popular in Europe. It's a track bike.
**[18:12] Daitsubu**
Even the gears have been removed.
**[18:13] Daitsubu**
It's light. It's strong.
**[18:15] Daitsubu**
It's a bike made exclusively
for riding flats.
**[18:19] Daitsubu**
The hollowed out tube...
**[18:21] Daitsubu**
The super-light handles
made for track racing...
**[18:24] Daitsubu**
Do you know what happens
**[18:26] Daitsubu**
when I combine them with my barrel-like legs,
which were made for sprinting?
**[18:31] Daitsubu**
In scientific reactions, when you combine
pure reagents, you get miraculous results.
**[18:37] Daitsubu**
Come, Sohoku sprinter! It's a three-lap race!
**[18:42] Daitsubu**
I'll only turn the other cheek thrice!
**[18:44] Naruko**
Is that your catchphrase?
**[18:45] Naruko**
Jeez, these freaks keep
coming one after another.
**[18:50] Naruko**
But I can tell they all love bikes.
**[18:54] Naruko**
I'm the same way.
**[18:56] Naruko**
So I'll sprint as hard as I can.
**[18:59] Naruko**
I think he said something about purity.
**[19:03] Naruko**
Sorry, but Naruko Shoukichi is a
natural-born 100 percent pure sprinter!
**[19:12] Naruko**
You're pretty fast.
**[19:14] Naruko**
I'm just unthinkably fast.
**[19:18] Naruko**
I excel at straight lines
as I ride with flair!
**[19:21] Naruko**
I'm the prodigal speedster!
**[19:30] Naruko**
Uh-oh, I've gotten stronger.
**[19:34] Naruko**
I'm faster than I was
when I used to ride here.
**[19:37] Naruko**
I can tell I'm using my muscles,
and my speed's on a whole different level.
**[19:42] Naruko**
Did riding in the Inter-High make me grow?
**[19:46] Naruko**
Was it my friendly rivalry with
the old man and Aoyagi-san?
**[19:49] Naruko**
Sorry, hotshot. I can't give up this gift.
**[19:54] Naruko**
My next race will be my last one.
If I win, I'll keep riding as a sprinter.
**[20:03] Midousuji**
Shall we race?
**[20:06] Naruko**
M-Midousuji? Kyoto Fushimi's ace?
**[20:11] Man 1**
Isn't that Midousuji, who won the first day's
race and two number tags on the second?
**[20:16] Man 2**
He beat Hakone Academy's ace
sprinter, #4 Shinkai, in a sprint!
**[20:23] Midousuji**
I came to Osaka since I was bored
**[20:27] Midousuji**
and heard a gross freak in
a yellow jersey was here.
**[20:31] Naruko**
Thanks for the compliment.
Does that mean you came to see me?
**[20:35] Naruko**
Thank you.
**[20:37] Naruko**
My last opponent is him of all people?
**[20:42] Naruko**
It's just another race.
**[20:44] Midousuji**
Since it's a 600-meter track, how does
a ten-lap, six-kilometer race sound?
**[20:51] Naruko**
Sure. It's my last race.
**[20:53] Naruko**
Give me everything you've got.
**[20:55] Midousuji**
It's your last race. Make sure
you squeeze out every last drop.
**[21:01] Midousuji**
But it wouldn't be fun to just race.
**[21:05] Midousuji**
Why don't we each bet something important?
**[21:16] Naruko**
Sure. I'd already decided for myself,
no matter who I was racing...
**[21:22] Naruko**
If I win the next race,
I'll keep riding as a sprinter.
**[21:26] Naruko**
If I lose...
**[21:29] Naruko**
I'll quit sprinting!
**[23:08] Sugimoto**
Imaizumi, you dropped something.
***SIGN*** Love Hime
The Three-Hour Extra-Dimensional Labyrinth
**[23:12] Sugimoto**
Huh?
**[23:14] Imaizumi**
Uh, that's...
**[23:15] Sugimoto**
Oh, don't worry. I don't have any
problem with this kind of thing.
**[23:20] Sugimoto**
As a kid, I used to watch this stuff
all the time with my brother.
**[23:23] Sugimoto**
I'm an experienced anime watcher.
**[23:26] Teshima**
Well, we all have our own tastes.
**[23:28] Imaizumi**
It's not that!
**[23:31] Sakamichi**
Imaizumi-kun, good morning.
**[23:33] Sakamichi**
The other day when we went to *Love Hime*—
**[23:34] Imaizumi**
Not right now!
