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.
[01:04] Int_Onoda
Naruko-kun...
[01:06] Naruko
And then, forget it all
the next day and snap back.
[01:11] Naruko
That's Naruko's flashy snap back technique!

Yeah!

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.
[03:53] Aoyagi
Likewise, I'm Aoyagi.
[03:55] Mom

look as old this year.

[04:01] Int_Koga

[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...
[04:31] Koga
...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.
[04:51] Mom
When we got here...
[04:53] (Flashback) Fb_Mom
Oh, dear! Where is the annex?
[04:56] (Flashback) Fb_Mom
This one is so nice...
[04:59] (Flashback) Fb_Mom
Excuse me! Could you give
us some directions?
[05:03] (Flashback) Fb_Manami
Oh, the annex is down this road.
[05:07] (Flashback) Fb_Manami
It's dark, so drive carefully.

You're such a nice boy!
[05:13] (Flashback) Fb_Mom

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!

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.
[06:55] Mom
Okay, do your best!

They have three baths! How wonderful!

It's a long way off.

We can't let our guard down, right, Onoda-kun?

Yeah!

Let's put our hearts into it!

This is really cool.

She has exquisite taste.
[07:31] Manami

disappear again?!

And Komari... I mean, Kishigami-kun
is gone, as well.

I heard you fought hard
up to the finish line.

But you came in second.

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.
[10:53] Int_Yamaguchi
Then...
[10:54] Fant_Yamaguchi
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.
[11:13] Mizuta
Kiriya, Funatsu, you two have to catch
everyone who breaks away from the pack!
[11:19] Kiriya
Uh, that's easier said than done.
[11:20] Funatsu
Catching all of them would be impossible.
[11:23] Mizuta
You'll do it!
[11:24] Int_Mizuta
This is my big chance!
[11:26] Int_Mizuta
Without Midousuji here, I can become the ace!

He was on the reserves list at first,
but was later given a spot in the Inter-High.

And at the end of day one, he caught up
to the leading pack like it was nothing.
[12:05] Int_Funatsu
He's the biggest unknown here...

What is it?

Huh? I can't understand you.

We were wondering where you've been.

You're not going to answer?!

[14:57] Int_Izumida
Doubashi's sprint, Manami's mountain climb,
[15:01] Int_Izumida
and Yuki's sacrificial run
helped us achieve victory.
[15:04] Int_Izumida
That put the last piece
of this team in place.

is revolving around Yuki.

[16:57] Int_Shinkai
They started calling him...
[16:59] Int_Shinkai
The Mountain King.
[17:01] Int_Shinkai
He doesn't look much like a king,

and he seems completely defenseless
when he's not on his bike.
[17:08] Onoda
Oh, there it is.

They say everyone who goes to see you after

I came to the Inter-High to challenge you.

I was ordered to stop you if you made
a move in the mountains yesterday.

Unfortunately, I didn't get the chance.
[18:13] Shinkai
Let's race at some point today.
[18:18] Onoda
R-Race?
[18:19] Shinkai
Is your answer yes, Mountain King?
[18:26] Onoda
"Mountain King"?
[18:28] Shinkai
It's your nickname.
[18:30] Onoda
Nickname?
[18:32] (Flashback) Fb_Makishima
My nickname is the Peak Spider!
[18:39] Onoda
A nickname? For me?
[18:42] Onoda
That's great news! Mountain King, you said?
[18:45] Onoda
Is that like "see-king" mountains to climb?
[18:49] Onoda
That's not bad at all!
[18:51] Onoda
But, an animal... A name with a
bug in it would have been nice.
[18:56] Shinkai
No, the supreme king of the mountain,
the ruler of its peak.
[19:02] Onoda
The king?
[19:05] Int_Onoda
Mountain King?
[19:07] Shinkai
You're strong.
[19:10] Shinkai
Even yesterday, you broke through
several teams, climbed the mountain,
[19:15] Shinkai
and caught up to the leading pack at the end.
[19:18] Onoda
N-No, Imaizumi-kun just said I could go.
[19:21] Onoda
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!

I don't want people talking
about this, so I'll be going.

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.

Oh, right.
