SIGN    Teshima's Orders
[01:32] Naruko
    What do you mean, Onoda won't be
    our mountain ace on the third day?
[01:38] (Flashback) Naruko
    Onoda-kun is last year's champion!
[01:40] (Flashback) Naruko
    He beat Manami in the mountains
    at the end of that race.
[01:44] (Flashback) Imaizumi
    I can't accept this decision, either.
[01:46] (Flashback) Imaizumi
    I'd understand if Onoda wasn't doing well.
[01:49] (Flashback) Imaizumi
    But he's fine.
[01:51] (Flashback) Imaizumi
    I made sure he'd be in peak
    condition during the Inter-High.
[01:55] (Flashback) Sakamichi
    Yeah, I appreciate it.
[01:58] (Flashback) Sakamichi
    I'm doing better than ever.
[02:01] (Flashback) Sakamichi
    But if that's the decision Teshima-san
    made after giving it a lot of thought,
[02:05] (Flashback) Sakamichi
    then I'll accept those orders.
[02:07] (Flashback) Imaizumi
    Onoda...
[02:09] (Flashback) Teshima
    I'm having you step down
[02:11] (Flashback) Teshima
    because I expect we'll face circumstances
    that will force you to anyway.
[02:17] (Flashback) Teshima
    By the time we enter the final
    mountains on the third day,
[02:21] (Flashback) Teshima
    Hakone Academy will be well-prepared.
[02:24] (Flashback) Teshima
    And it'll probably be Manami
    who gives us the most trouble.
[02:30] (Flashback) Teshima
    He was Hakone Academy's
     first ever first-year regular
[02:34] (Flashback) Teshima
    and a finalist at last year's Inter-High.
[02:36] (Flashback) Teshima
    Rumor is he's even stronger this year.
[02:40] (Flashback) Teshima
    Manami will be launched from
    their rock-solid position
[02:43] (Flashback) Teshima
    and race straight to the finish line.
[02:47] (Flashback) Teshima
    That's the worst possible
    scenario I can think of.
[02:51] Sakamichi
    Manami-kun...
[02:53] Sakamichi
    Can I beat Manami-kun now
    that he's even stronger?
[02:57] Sakamichi
    I...
[03:00] Sakamichi
    There's a road leading to the finish line.
[03:03] Sakamichi
    A slope climbing up into the sky.
[03:05] Sakamichi
    There's no telling what will happen there.
[03:08] Sakamichi
    Everyone rides as hard as they can
[03:11] Sakamichi
    toward a totally undecided
    blank slate of a future.
[03:16] Sakamichi
    If I got to race against a stronger
    Manami-kun and was able to keep up, then I...
[03:24] Sakamichi
    I would be really happy.
[03:27] (Flashback) Teshima
    For Sohoku,
[03:29] (Flashback) Teshima
    it's best for us to take down Manami early.
[03:32] Naruko
    Take him down...
[03:33] Imaizumi
    ...early.
[03:34] (Flashback) Teshima
    We'll make the first attack once
    we enter the final mountains.
[03:38] (Flashback) Teshima
    When we catch up to them,
    we'll send one attacker.
[03:43] (Flashback) Teshima
    They'll send someone after him.
[03:45] (Flashback) Teshima
    We'll pull him at full speed, keep him
     in check, and exhaust his legs.
[03:51] (Flashback) Teshima
    But the third day's mountains are long.
[03:54] (Flashback) Teshima
    Whoever makes the first attack will
    become exhausted before the end,
[03:57] (Flashback) Teshima
    be passed by the team,
[03:59] (Flashback) Teshima
    and stop pedaling because he doesn't have
    the stamina to even reach the finish line.
[04:04] (Flashback) Teshima
    One of us will drop out of the race and
    take one of our opponents down with him.
[04:07] (Flashback) Teshima
    That will be our first
    attack in the mountains.
[04:10] Sakamichi
    Drop out...
[04:11] (Flashback) Teshima
    The only person who can lure Manami
    and take him down is you, Onoda.
[04:20] (Flashback) Teshima
    Tomorrow, if what I'm expecting happens...
[04:25] Teshima
    Can you do it, Onoda?
[04:27] Sakamichi
    Yes, sir!
[04:28] Teshima
    It's the race official's car.
[04:29] Teshima
    The lead pack must be close.
[04:31] Imaizumi
    Let's swap, Naruko.
[04:32] Naruko
    Go get 'em, hotshot.
[04:33] Imaizumi
    You don't have to tell me twice.
[04:40] Teshima
    Let's swap, Imaizumi.
[04:42] Imaizumi
    Yes, sir.
[04:42] Teshima
    I can't be the only one not
    pulling when I'm making the
[04:46] Teshima
    second-years pull and asked
    Onoda drop out of the race.
[04:49] Teshima
    Show yourselves, Hakone Academy.
[04:51] Teshima
    Let me see you around this corner.
[04:55] Teshima
    Show yourselves, Hakone Academy!
[05:05] Teshima
    I see them.
[05:07] Kuroda
    Sohoku's here?
[05:09] Teshima
    We've come crawling back up from
    the depths of despair, Kuroda.
[05:13] Ashikiba
    Jun-chan...
[05:15] Teshima
    It's just as I expected.
[05:16] Teshima
    Onoda, save your strength
    for our first attack.
[05:20] Sakamichi
    Yes, sir.
[05:21] Teshima
    Naruko, Imaizumi...
[05:22] Imaizumi
    Yes, sir.
[05:23] Naruko
    Yes, sir.
[05:24] Teshima
    Thank you.
[05:27] Teshima
    I would've stopped pedaling
    if not for your hope.
[05:31] Teshima
    I'll bring us next to Hakone Academy.
[05:33] Teshima
    I'll pull at full speed.
[05:36] Teshima
    I'm sorry.
[05:37] Teshima
    After that, it'll be up to you
    three to reach the finish line.
[05:44] Makishima
    You think they're starting the
    race for the finish line about now?
[05:48] Kinjou
    Yeah.
SIGN    Tadokoro Bread
[05:49] Makishima
    At 1,700 meters, it's cool
    even during the summer.
[05:54] Kinjou
    Yeah.
[05:55] Makishima
    By the way, Kinjou...
[05:57] Makishima
    You think Teshima Junta, the man
    you appointed Captain of Sohoku,
[06:02] Makishima
    will make it up here?
[06:07] Makishima
    Through the hot spring town of Kusatsu and
[06:09] Makishima
    the endlessly zig-zagging road,
     all the way up here...
[06:16] Kinjou
    Will Teshima make it, huh?
[06:18] Tadokoro
    He will.
[06:20] Tadokoro
    I trained Teshima and Aoyagi.
[06:23] Tadokoro
    They've got more guts than anyone.
[06:29] Tadokoro
    That's what I hope, anyway.
[06:32] Tadokoro
    It'll probably be tough, though.
[06:35] Makishima
    Yeah.
[06:36] Tadokoro
    He's got guts, but his legs are average.
[06:40] Kinjou
    Unfortunately, Tadokoro's right.
[06:43] Makishima
    You need something exceptional
    to survive at the Inter-High,
[06:48] Makishima
    and Teshima lacks that.
[06:50] Makishima
    Then why'd you choose Teshima to be captain
[06:55] Makishima
    if he's an average guy
    who can't make it up here?
[06:59] Makishima
    I know he's injured,
[07:01] Makishima
    but you could've made Koga captain instead.
[07:04] Makishima
    He might've made it up here.
[07:07] Kinjou
    It's true that Teshima is weak and ordinary.
[07:10] Kinjou
    He often said so himself.
[07:12] Kinjou
    "I'm at the bottom. I'm a low-level player."
[07:17] Kinjou
    But Teshima continued
    working hard regardless.
[07:20] Kinjou
    He used every minute and
    every second carefully
[07:23] Kinjou
    and struggled to climb higher many times.
[07:26] Kinjou
    Last year, by reeling in a thin
    thread of hope, Sohoku won.
[07:31] Kinjou
    We reached the top.
[07:34] Kinjou
    But those who achieve the
    highest result in competition
[07:38] Kinjou
    always pay for it in the form of stagnation.
[07:43] Kinjou
    The satisfaction of reaching the highest
    level diffuses the winner's tension.
[07:48] Kinjou
    He becomes weak and uncertain
    about which way to proceed.
[07:52] Kinjou
    Sohoku won. What the new generation
    needs now more than anything else
[07:57] Kinjou
    is the strength to push even farther.
[08:02] Kinjou
    The mental strength to keep putting
[08:04] Kinjou
    one foot in front of the other
    no matter the circumstances.
[08:07] Kinjou
    A powerful heart that never
    loses sight of its goals.
[08:10] Kinjou
    And he had that in spades.
[08:13] Kinjou
    That's why I chose him.
[08:15] Kinjou
    There are sights that can
    only be seen from the bottom.
[08:19] Kinjou
    The hunger to break through stalemates
    and shatter preconceptions.
[08:25] Makishima
    Yeah.
[08:26] Kinjou
    And the efforts of an ordinary man
[08:29] Kinjou
    become a vibration that resonates
    through the other players.
[08:33] Kinjou
    It becomes the strength
    that pushes them forward.
[08:38] Makishima
    Kinjou, wouldn't that be the
    special something you mentioned
[08:42] Makishima
    that everyone needs to
    survive until this point?
[08:52] Teshima
    Come on, body. Don't start screaming now.
[08:57] Teshima
    Fight, Junta.
[08:58] Teshima
    This is your last Inter-High!
[09:02] Imaizumi
    We're catching up to Hakone Academy.
[09:04] Sakamichi
    Teshima-san...
[09:07] Naruko
    Hey, what'd you mean when you
    said the rest is up to us?
[09:11] Naruko
    It'd be better for us
    to take turns pulling—
[09:13] Teshima
    Rest for now. You'll need your strength.
[09:17] Teshima
    That's an order.
[09:18] Teshima
    Naruko, Imaizumi...
[09:21] Teshima
    Our opponents have an advantage
    from Izumida pulling.
[09:25] Teshima
    If our whole team is
    exhausted when we catch up,
[09:28] Teshima
    we'll be beaten by an immediate attack.
[09:30] Teshima
    One of us has to pull for the team.
[09:34] Teshima
    And it has to be me.
[09:37] Teshima
    So, heart, keep on pumping until then.
[09:52] Yuuto
    What's with this guy?
[09:59] Imaizumi
    Incredible. He's...
[10:02] Naruko
    Crap. What is this?
[10:04] Naruko
    My hands are startin' to shake.
[10:06] Sakamichi
    I can feel Teshima-san's
    passionate vibrations
[10:10] Sakamichi
    from his determination to
    move forward no matter what.
[10:13] Yuuto
    Kuroda-san, I'm not sure what's going on,
     but they've nearly caught up.
[10:18] Kuroda
    Yuuto, the two of us will pull together.
[10:21] Yuuto
    Yes, sir.
[10:23] Ashikiba
    Yuki-chan, can I make
    just one selfish demand?
[10:28] Ashikiba
    Let me pull.
[10:29] Kuroda
    Takuto...
[10:31] Ashikiba
    I was trying to stay calm, but after
    seeing Jun-chan ride like that,
[10:36] Ashikiba
    I can't contain it anymore.
[10:41] Ashikiba
    Let's race, Jun-chan.
[10:43] Teshima
    Shikiba...
[10:45] Ashikiba
    Your vibrations are reaching me.
[10:48] Ashikiba
    The classical music has already
    begun playing in my head.
[10:53] Ashikiba
    It's cliché, but it's the Ninth.
[10:55] Imaizumi
    Ashikiba-san...
[10:57] Naruko
    ...stood up!
[10:58] Sakamichi
    He's moving up!
[11:00] Teshima
    He's three meters ahead.
[11:03] Teshima
    Is he challenging me to a race?
[11:05] Teshima
    Seriously?
[11:07] Teshima
    I'm trying to complete
    my last job for the team
[11:11] Teshima
    by bringing them next to Hakone Academy.
[11:17] Ashikiba
    That's it, Jun-chan!
[11:19] Ashikiba
    That's the vibration!
[11:20] Ashikiba
    Let's race!
[11:22] Teshima
    What situation do you see that makes
     you say that, Ashikiba?
[11:26] Imaizumi
    Situation?
[11:28] Imaizumi
    We're currently trying to
    catch up to Hakone Academy.
[11:32] Imaizumi
    Things are going as we expected.
[11:33] Imaizumi
    The one difference is that their ace,
    Ashikiba-san, is trying to pull ahead.
[11:39] Imaizumi
    What will Hakone Academy do?
[11:41] Imaizumi
    They probably weren't expecting
    Ashikiba-san to jump ahead here.
[11:46] Imaizumi
    If their ace leaves their team now,
[11:49] Imaizumi
    the race after this point
    will change dramatically.
[11:52] Imaizumi
    And this situation was brought about by him.
[11:56] Imaizumi
    Which means...
[12:03] Teshima
    What are you doing, Imaizumi?
[12:05] Imaizumi
    Do you still have the will
    and strength left to fight?
[12:08] Teshima
    What?
[12:09] Imaizumi
    Conserve your strength in the
    back as much as possible.
[12:12] Imaizumi
    And prepare yourself for the
    biggest moment of this Inter-High.
[12:17] Teshima
    Prepare myself?
[12:18] Imaizumi
    Hakone Academy is attacking.
[12:21] Teshima
    They're attacking first?
[12:24] Naruko
    I agree with hotshot.
[12:26] Teshima
    You, too?
[12:28] Naruko
    They're comin'. It's gonna be a strong one.
[12:32] Teshima
    Could it be?
[12:34] Teshima
    Now?
[12:37] Teshima
    They're sending their ace, Ashikiba, now?
[12:43] Imaizumi
    You're the one who created
    this situation, Teshima-san.
[12:48] Imaizumi
    Your self-sacrifice moved everyone around you,
     including Hakone Academy's ace.
[12:55] Teshima
    I did?
[12:57] Sakamichi
    Sometimes it's hardest to notice
    when you're the one doing it.
[13:04] Imaizumi
    You're the only one who
    can stop Ashikiba-san now.
[13:07] Teshima
    *I'll *stop him?
[13:10] Sakamichi
    Please.
[13:11] Naruko
    We're countin' on you.
[13:13] Imaizumi
    Go.
[13:14] All
    Sohoku captain and climber, Teshima Junta!
[13:21] Teshima
    They're making crazy demands.
[13:23] Teshima
    This can't be happening.
    Shikiba, I'm getting to race against you?
[13:29] Teshima
    Bicycle racing is fantastic.
[13:32] Teshima
    We're at the front of the Inter-High.
[13:36] Ashikiba
    Jun-chan!
[13:37] Teshima
    Shikiba!
[13:38] Ashikiba
    You came! Oh, you came. I'm so happy.
[13:42] Ashikiba
    Let's race!
[13:44] Teshima
    My third-year and final Inter-High
[13:46] Teshima
    is shaping up to be the most difficult
    last time I'll ever face.
[13:50] Teshima
    Yeah, let's do it. I'm ready.
SIGN    Yowamushi Pedal
[14:02] Fan A
    The front is here!
[14:04] Fan B
    From Hakone Academy,
    it's the first day's winner,
[14:06] Fan B
    wearing the red mountain tags
     from the second day.
[14:09] Fan B
    He's the unstoppable and
    towering ace, Ashikiba Takuto.
[14:12] Fan C
    Racing against him is Sohoku's #5
    and captain, Teshima Junta, a climber.
[14:18] Fan A
    Teshima's racing for Sohoku, huh?
[14:20] Fan B
    Teshima lacks an impressive record,
[14:24] Fan B
    but he narrowly lost the
    first day's mountain battle.
[14:28] Fan C
    An uncrowned man,
    someone who's never won a title,
[14:32] Fan C
    is going to beat Hakone Academy's ace.
[14:34] Fan C
    Maybe that's their plan for sending #5.
[14:38] Ashikiba
    I'm glad you came.
[14:41] Ashikiba
    How do you feel right now, Jun-chan?
[14:45] Ashikiba
    As for me...
[14:47] Ashikiba
    I...
[14:51] Ashikiba
    I feel amazing!
[14:53] Teshima
    Metronome Dancing!
[14:55] Teshima
    You're doing that already? Hold on.
[14:58] Teshima
    Wait, Shikiba!
[15:01] Teshima
    My legs feel so heavy...
[15:04] Teshima
    But move!
[15:08] Ashikiba
    That's it. This is so thrilling.
[15:12] Ashikiba
    Let's go again, Jun-chan.
[15:14] Teshima
    Seriously?
[15:16] Teshima
    My heart's about to stop.
[15:18] Teshima
    Take a break, Shikiba.
[15:27] Kuroda
    What's wrong, Sohoku? Are you giving up
    the race because things have gotten tough?
[15:32] Kuroda
    I'm surprised you sent Teshima.
[15:35] Kuroda
    Did his miraculous second-place
    finish at Irohazaka on the first day
[15:38] Kuroda
    make you hope for more?
[15:39] Kuroda
    But don't they call it a miracle
    because it'll never happen again?
[15:45] Kuroda
    From here, it's roughly
    15 kilometers to the finish line.
[15:48] Kuroda
    If one of the two guys who left can't keep up,
     the other will take the finish line.
[15:55] Kuroda
    The race will end without us doing our jobs.
[15:59] Imaizumi
    We sent Teshima-san so that wouldn't happen.
[16:04] Kuroda
    Sorry, but Teshima doesn't have
    the strength to stop our Ashikiba.
[16:09] Imaizumi
    I doubt he does.
[16:12] Imaizumi
    But he'll stop him.
[16:14] Kuroda
    Is that a riddle? How's he going to stop him?
[16:18] Kuroda
    I'm saying Teshima doesn't stand a chance.
[16:21] Sakamichi
    Excuse me.
[16:22] Kuroda
    What?
[16:24] Sakamichi
    Um, well...
[16:26] Sakamichi
    The reason we sent Teshima-san
    is because he's... very, uh...
[16:33] Sakamichi
    He's very hard-working.
[16:34] Kuroda
    Hard-working?
[16:37] Kuroda
    I was wondering what you'd say.
[16:39] Kuroda
    You think hard work and effort
    are enough to succeed?
[16:42] Kuroda
    Do you, Onoda-kun?
[16:44] Sakamichi
    Um, but Teshima-san has worked
    really hard this past year.
[16:52] Sakamichi
    He tirelessly built up his
    strength little by little.
[16:56] Sakamichi
    I thought it was amazing.
[17:00] Sakamichi
    Couldn't you call the ability to
    gradually build up your efforts talent?
[17:08] Teshima
    Are you laughing at me for
    jumping ahead, Kuroda?
[17:12] Teshima
    I'm sure you are.
[17:14] Teshima
    Until a moment ago, I was pulling
    my team at full strength,
[17:18] Teshima
    with the intention of dropping out.
[17:21] Teshima
    But...
[17:25] Teshima
    an unexpected road opened in front of me.
[17:29] Teshima
    Just as I was about to
    collapse from exhaustion...
[17:32] (Flashback) Imaizumi
    Do you still have the will
    and strength left to fight?
[17:36] Teshima
    For a moment, I thought,
    "Why now, when I'm exhausted?"
[17:41] Teshima
    "I would've gladly rushed ahead
    if it weren't right now."
[17:45] Teshima
    But I turned my pedals
    because it happened now.
[17:50] Teshima
    Only when you've pushed yourself to
    the limit and steeled your resolve
[17:56] Teshima
    does the next door open.
[17:59] Teshima
    So move forward
    without hesitation, Teshima Junta.
[18:03] Teshima
    Wait, Shikiba!
[18:04] Teshima
    Let's ride together for a little longer.
[18:07] Ashikiba
    Jun-chan! Incredible! You truly are amazing.
[18:11] Teshima
    Wouldn't want to waste the opportunity.
[18:13] Teshima
    Shikiba, I hadn't answered
     your question yet...
SIGN    Certain
[18:17] Teshima
    about how I feel.
[18:19] Teshima
    I should be exhausted, so I wonder why...
[18:22] Teshima
    It's strange.
[18:24] Teshima
    I feel strength welling up inside me.
[18:27] Teshima
    I feel great, too.
[18:29] Ashikiba
    Jun-chan...

    two riders have jumped ahead.

    One is Sohoku High School third-year
    and #5, Teshima Junta.
[18:45] Higashido
    What?
[18:46] Masuda
    Hey, don't suddenly stop like that.
[18:49] Announcer
    Teshima has fallen behind slightly.
[18:51] Masuda
    Teshima? From class four?
[18:55] Higashido
    Yeah, that's him.
[18:56] Announcer
    But Teshima is hanging in there.
[18:56] Masuda
    You're friends with him, right, Higashido?
[18:59] Masuda
    Didn't you say you were going
    to Tochigi the other day?
[19:01] Higashido
    Yeah.
[19:03] Higashido
    I spoke with him briefly
    before the race started.
[19:06] Announcer
    Teshima is sticking behind
    Hakone Academy's number 11.
[19:07] Higashido
    Wow, Teshima. You're playing
    a big part at the Inter-High,
[19:12] Higashido
    where the country's best riders gather.
[19:14] Higashido
    It makes me shiver.
[19:16] Announcer
    Meanwhile, Hakone Academy
    has strength to spare.
[19:17] Higashido
    You've seized an opportunity.
[19:19] Announcer
    He's riding so effortlessly.
[19:20] Higashido
    I'll say it again.
[19:21] Announcer
    All 202 centimeters of
    #11 Ashikiba are swaying.
[19:22] Higashido
    You're the star of Minami Middle School.
[19:26] Higashido
    Ashikiba?
[19:27] Girl B
    Who?
[19:29] Higashido
    Ashikiba...
[19:30] Higashido
    He was so slow and nice in middle school.
[19:35] Higashido
    Are Shikiba and Teshima battling each other?
[19:39] Higashido
    Those two from Minami Middle School are
    taking each other on at the great Inter-High?
[19:44] Higashido
    Amazing.
[19:46] Higashido
    You can do it.
[19:47] Higashido
    Good luck, both of you!
[19:55] Teshima
    This is rough. I'm struggling.
[19:57] Teshima
    But I feel strangely calm.
[20:01] Teshima
    This is a huge race.
[20:03] Teshima
    I'm shouldering a heavy
    responsibility for my team.
[20:06] Teshima
    It's the final mountains of the
    third day of the Inter-High.
[20:10] Teshima
    But my body is responding.
[20:12] Teshima
    The wavelength feels good.
[20:13] Teshima
    It's probably because I'm
    racing against you, Shikiba.
[20:18] Teshima
    Our rhythms are synced.
[20:23] Ashikiba
    I feel the same way, Jun-chan.
[20:27] Teshima
    What?
[20:31] Ashikiba
    I can feel it.
[20:33] Ashikiba
    Sorry. My senses are keen right now.
[20:41] Teshima
    He's no ordinary man after all.
[20:44] Teshima
    Just making eye contact with
    him gives me pins and needles.
[20:48] Ashikiba
    I'm strong when I get like this.
[20:51] Teshima
    He unleashed his senses.
[20:53] Teshima
    He was never a logical rider.
    He rides based on feel.
[20:58] Teshima
    People generally tease him for
    being air-headed and not listening,
[21:02] Teshima
    but that's just because his
    interest is out of alignment.
[21:06] Teshima
    Once he's set his sights on something
    and his senses are tuned in,
[21:09] Teshima
    he performs unbelievably well.
[21:13] Teshima
    He's been this way since middle school.
[21:16] Teshima
    He was strong once he got going.
[21:19] Teshima
    He's not lying.
[21:20] Teshima
    He's probably fairly strong right now.
[21:25] Teshima
    Shall we race for real?
[21:28] Ashikiba
    Isn't that why you came?
[21:31] Ashikiba
    Let's do it for real.
[21:33] Ashikiba
    You're strong. I want to try it.
[21:36] Teshima
    Don't overestimate me.
[21:38] Teshima
    I lost to you last year at Minegayama.
[21:42] Teshima
    Everyone says I've got average legs.
[21:47] Teshima
    But it hasn't made me spineless.
[21:49] Teshima
    I am who I am now knowing that.
[21:53] Teshima
    I want to believe the path
    I've traveled and the goals
[21:57] Teshima
    I've worked toward weren't wrong.
[21:59] Teshima
    So I want to prove that by
    fighting and beating you.
[22:05] Teshima
    What's an ordinary climber,
[22:06] Teshima
    a #5 like me doing picking a
     fight with Hakone Academy's ace?
[22:11] Teshima
    I know I wouldn't be able
    to contain my laughter
[22:14] Teshima
    if I calmed down and thought about it.
[22:16] Teshima
    But we stand in the same ring.
[22:19] Teshima
    I'm on this side of the
    road at the Inter-High.
[22:22] Teshima
    I have the right.
[22:24] Teshima
    From another perspective,
    this is an opportunity.
[22:27] Teshima
    For the rest of my life,
[22:30] Teshima
    I'll probably never have
    another opportunity to ride
[22:32] Teshima
    at the front of a big race with you.
[22:35] Teshima
    I consider this a miracle.
[22:37] Teshima
    So I'm riding this miracle
    all the way to the end.
[22:41] Teshima
    After all, miracles hardly ever happen,
    no matter how hard you wish for them,
[22:48] Teshima
    but when it rains, it pours.
[22:50] Teshima
    Isn't that how it works?
[22:56] Ashikiba
    I like the way you think.
SIGN    Road Race Distance to Mountain Line 3km Remaining
[23:02] Teshima
    Why don't we race the remaining three
    kilometers to the mountain result line?
[23:06] Ashikiba
    The mountain result line...
[23:08] Teshima
    Don't you think it's fitting
    for a race between us?
[23:12] Teshima
    It's just like it was then...
[23:15] Teshima
    when we raced in middle
    school on the same team.
