    Diving into a futon after a bath is the best.
[00:15] Naruko
    Nothing beats a post-race soak
    in the hot springs!
[00:17] Naruko
    The Inter-High sure picks
    great venues every year!
[00:20] Onoda
    Some of my lower-body muscles are still sore.
[00:24] Onoda
    The race today was really tough.
[00:29] Naruko
    Yeah.
[00:30] Onoda
    Oh, sorry! Did that bring back bad thoughts?
[00:34] Onoda
    Today's finish line...
[00:38] Naruko
    It's fine.
[00:39] Naruko
    What's done is done.
[00:41] Naruko
    I'm sorry for letting you down.
[00:44] Onoda
    That's not...
[00:45] Naruko
    I disappointed myself.
[00:49] Naruko
    When you're disappointed, you must
    let go and feel as disappointed as you can.
[00:54] Naruko
    Feel disappointed, get pissed off,
[00:56] Naruko
    think of everything you would
    have done differently,
[00:59] Naruko
    regret it all, cry,
[01:03] Naruko
    and sleep.

    Naruko-kun...
[01:06] Naruko
    And then, forget it all

    Ask me anything you want to know!

    I'm a genius—
[03:01] Mom
    I'm here, Sakamichi!
[03:04] Naruko
    It's Onoda-kun's typhoon mother!
[03:06] Onoda
    You came again?!
[03:07] Mom
    Yes, with the same housewife alliance.
[03:11] Mom
    I wanted to see your race, but the
    roads were closed, so I just got here.
[03:17] Mom
    Were they working on the roads or something?
[03:19] Int_Both
    That was the race!
[03:20] Mom
    So I went to the Toshogu Shrine instead!
[03:22] Mom
    The Nikkou Tosho Shrine!
[03:24] Mom
    And I had some yuba tofu skin
    with soy sauce and wasabi.
[03:27] Mom
    It's so good! No wonder
    Nikkou is famous for it!
[03:30] Onoda
    What did you even come here to do?
[03:32] Mom
    By the way...
[03:33] Mom
    I see you're staying in the annex
    instead of the fancy main hotel.
[03:38] Mom
    Is that because your school
    isn't private, but prefectural?
[03:41] Onoda
    D-Don't ask me!
[03:44] Koga
    Is something going on?
[03:45] Naruko
    We're being raided by Onoda-kun's mother.
[03:49] Koga
    Nice to meet you.
[03:50] Koga
    I'm Koga, a third-year
    with the cycling club.

    Likewise, I'm Aoyagi.

    Does she mean...
[04:01] Int_Koga
    Kinjou-san?
[04:03] Onoda
    Seriously, Mom! What are you even here for?
[04:06] Mom
    Oh, right! I came to give this to you.
[04:12] Mom
    Here, a tire pump!
[04:14] Mom
    You forgot it!
[04:15] Int_Onoda
    No, I left it on purpose!
[04:17] Int_Naruko
    And that's for a mommy bike, too!
[04:21] Mom
    And...
[04:22] Mom
    This, too.
[04:24] Mom
    The sun can get in your eyes
    when you ride, right?
[04:28] Mom
    So I bought you this!

    Best...

    ...Boy?
[04:32] Mom
    Not to worry!
[04:33] Mom
    I have enough for everyone!
[04:37] Mom
    If you wear those, you'll recognize
    your teammates even from afar.
[04:41] Mom
    It's a great idea, don't you think?
[04:44] Naruko
    Y-Yes.
[04:47] Mom
    I'm sorry.
[04:49] Mom
    I only have five left.

    Excuse me! Could you give
    us some directions?

    Oh, the annex is down this road.

    It's dark, so drive carefully.

    You were making trouble over there, too?!
[05:32] Mom
    It made me so happy...
[05:36] Mom
    ...when you said you'd
    work hard this year, too.
[05:40] (Flashback) Fb_Onoda
    I-I'm going to race again at the Inter-High.
[05:45] (Flashback) Fb_Onoda
    I'm going to Nikkou for three days.
[05:49] Mom
    You worked so hard last year,
[05:52] Mom
    but if you work too hard,
     you might burn yourself out.
[05:56] Mom
    I was worried you'd say you wanted to quit.
[06:05] Mom
    Live up to their expectations.
[06:11] Onoda
    Right.
[06:15] Mom
    I went to the Toshogu Shrine.
[06:17] Onoda
    You just said that!
[06:19] Mom
    I prayed...
[06:23] Mom
    ...that you would reach the goal
    for these three days.
[06:31] Int_Onoda
    Goal...
[06:34] Onoda
    Yes, thanks!
[06:37] Mom
    You seem a little more reliable
    than you were last year.
[06:42] Mom
    You third-years,
     please take care of Sakamichi!
[06:45] _Both
    Sure.
[06:45] Mom
    Work hard in your anime club!

    We're the cycling club.
[06:49] Mom
    Do you sing anime songs out loud, too?
[06:52] Aoyagi
    No, I don't.

    Okay, do your best!

    It's a long way off.

    Where... Where is Midousuji?
[09:58] Int_Yamaguchi
    He did something like this last year.
[10:00] (Flashback) Fb_Midosuji
    Sorry, but I'm quitting the
    Kyoto Fushimi Bicycle Club today.
[10:07] Int_Yamaguchi
    I thought Ishigaki-san would handle it,
     that it wasn't my responsibility.
[10:16] Yamaguchi
    Midousuji!
[10:21] Int_Yamaguchi
    But now that I'm a third-year, I understand.
[10:24] Int_Yamaguchi
    Without that monster Midousuji,
     our team would crumble in an instant.
[10:30] Int_Yamaguchi
    Ishigaki-san was doing his best
    to keep us afloat.
[10:34] Int_Yamaguchi
    All alone.
[10:37] Int_Yamaguchi
    Ishigaki-san entrusted me...
[10:41] (Flashback) Fb_Ishigaki
    Yama, you have to be
    Midousuji's conscience.
[10:45] Int_Yamaguchi
    This is crazy, and I don't know if I can
    handle things like Ishigaki-san did.
[10:49] Int_Yamaguchi
    But...
[10:51] Int_Yamaguchi
    I'm going to find Midousuji.

    We're going to ride together tomorrow.
     Come back, Midousuji!
[10:58] Int_Yamaguchi
    That's what I'll tell him.
[11:10] Funatsu
    That's your strategy?
[11:12] Mizuta
    That's right.

    to the leading pack like it was nothing.

    What is it?

    N-Nothing.

    Huh? I can't understand you.

    Ah.

    You're not going to answer?!

    Huh? I see.

    That's not bad at all!

    But, an animal... A name with a
    bug in it would have been nice.

    You're strong.

    Even yesterday, you broke through
    several teams, climbed the mountain,

    and caught up to the leading pack at the end.

    N-No, Imaizumi-kun just said I could go.

    And Teshima-san helped me, too.
[19:23] Onoda
    I didn't do anything that great.
[19:25] Onoda
    It was really a team effort...
[19:26] Int_Shinkai
    So this is the Mountain King.
[19:28] Int_Shinkai
    A truly self-unaware climber.
[19:30] Onoda
    But...
[19:31] Onoda
    I would really prefer an animal nickname.
[19:35] Shinkai
    That's what you want?
[19:36] Guy
    Hey, #16 from Hakone Academy and
    the Mountain King are talking!
[19:40] Guy
    Do they know each other?
    Let's get a picture!
[19:44] Int_Onoda
    So close!
[19:46] Shinkai
    I don't want people talking
    about this, so I'll be going.
[19:49] Shinkai
    Let's talk on the road.
[19:54] Onoda
    Um, Shinkai-kun....
[19:57] Shinkai
    Oh, yeah. You didn't give me
    an answer to my challenge.
[20:00] Shinkai
    It's "yes," right?
[20:02] Onoda
    Oh, not that.
[20:03] Onoda
    Do you have a nickname, too?
[20:09] Shinkai
    Yes, I do. It's not that famous yet, though.
[20:19] Shinkai
    The Peak Hornet.
[20:24] Onoda
    Peak... Hornet?
[20:29] Shinkai
    It'll hurt if I sting you.
[20:35] Naruko
    Onoda-kun, time to go!
[20:37] Imaizumi
    We'll lose our warm-up time.
[20:39] Onoda
    Oh, right.
[20:43] Int_Onoda
    Shinkai Yuto-kun... He seems strong.
[20:49] Int_Onoda
    Sorry, Shinkai-kun, but I can't race you.
[20:54] Int_Onoda
    Teshima-san told me this morning.
[20:57] (Flashback) Fb_Teshima
    We don't have a single second
    to spare in today's race!
[21:01] (Flashback) Fb_Teshima
    All six of us will ride...
[21:04] (Flashback) Fb_Teshima
    for the second day of the Inter-High!
[21:07] Announcer
    Five minutes until the race starts!
[21:10] Announcer
    All of the racers are lined up
    at the starting line.
[21:13] Guy
    Good luck!
[21:14] Announcer
    The strongest contenders must be this team!
[21:17] Announcer
    They won all of the colored tags yesterday
[21:20] Announcer
    and restored their title
     as champions, Hakone Academy!
[21:22] Announcer
    Next are two teams which came
    close but could not prevail,
[21:25] Announcer
    Sohoku High School and Kyoto Fushimi.
[21:29] Announcer
    All of the teams are focusing on today!
[21:36] Onoda
    The Inter-High's second day race
     is about to begin!
[23:13] Kuroda
    Ow...
[23:17] Manami
    Here!
[23:18] Kuroda
    That hurts! Knock it off!
[23:20] Kuroda
    Don't laugh!
[23:23] Ashikiba
    Yuki-chan, you need to
    soak up to your shoulders.
[23:26] Izumida
    Yuki, you must relieve your fatigue
    so you can race tomorrow.
[23:30] Kuroda
    Hey... stop!
[23:30] Ashikiba
    It'll feel good!
