[00:06] Ashikiba
    Yuki-chan, can I make
    just one selfish demand?
[00:10] Ashikiba
    Let me pull.
[00:12] Kuroda
    Takuto...
[00:13] Ashikiba
    I was trying to stay calm, but after
    seeing Jun-chan ride like that,
[00:18] Ashikiba
    I can't contain it anymore.
[00:23] Ashikiba
    Let's race, Jun-chan.
[00:25] Teshima
    Shikiba...
[00:27] Teshima
    I'm getting to race against you?
[00:31] Teshima
    Bicycle racing is fantastic.
[00:34] Teshima
    We're at the front of the Inter-High.
SIGN    Road Race Distance to Mountain Line 3km Remaining
[00:38] Teshima
    Why don't we race the remaining three
    kilometers to the mountain result line?
[00:42] Ashikiba
    The mountain result line...
[00:44] Teshima
    Don't you think it's fitting
    for a race between us?
[00:48] Teshima
    It's just like in middle school...
[00:51] Teshima
    when we raced on the same team.

    I was in my fifth year of grade school
    when Ashikiba transferred to my school.

[02:33] (Flashback) Ashikiba
    I'm Ashikiba Takuto.
[02:35] (Flashback) Ashikiba
    I lived in Hokkaido before this.
[02:37] (Flashback) Girl A
    He's so tall.
[02:39] (Flashback) Girl B
    Yeah.
[02:40] (Flashback) Girl C
    Is Hokkaido as cold as they say?
[02:43] (Flashback) Girl D
    Where did you live? Sapporo? Hakodate?
[02:46] (Flashback) Girl E
    Did your family have cows?
[02:48] (Flashback) Boy A
    Is Hokkaido really that remarkable?
[02:52] (Flashback) Boy B
    It's just cold.
[02:54] (Flashback) Girl F
    Ashikiba-kun, your hands are so big.
[02:57] (Flashback) Girl F
    Did you play any instruments?
[02:59] (Flashback) Ashikiba
    Yeah, piano.
[03:02] (Flashback) Girl H
    Wow, play for us sometime.
[03:04] (Flashback) Boy A
    How hard is he gonna try to win the girls over?
[03:11] Teshima
    When I saw the bashful way he said "piano,"
[03:15] Teshima
    I knew he must be doing it
    because he really loved it.
[03:25] (Flashback) Ashikiba
    Did you know the piano is a
    stringed instrument, like the guitar.
[03:30] (Flashback) Teshima
    Really?
[03:32] (Flashback) Ashikiba
    Check this out. When you do this...
[03:36] (Flashback) Ashikiba
    the hammers inside strike the strings,
     which produce a sound.
[03:39] (Flashback) Teshima
    You're right.
[03:41] (Flashback) Ashikiba
    I love stringed instruments.
[03:43] (Flashback) Ashikiba
    Each and every sound reverberates.
[03:47] (Flashback) Ashikiba
    See? Can't you feel the rhythm building?
[03:50] (Flashback) Ashikiba
    It makes my body sway.
[03:52] (Flashback) Ashikiba
    And allowing my body to be moved by that
    sound makes me feel better and better.
[03:58] Teshima
    He's really good.
[04:00] (Flashback) Ashikiba
    I can play J-pop songs, too, like HiraKen.
[04:03] (Flashback) Teshima
    For real?
[04:17] (Flashback) Ashikiba
    Wow...
[04:20] (Flashback) Teshima
    It's called a road bike.
[04:22] (Flashback) Teshima
    I'm thinking about trying it.
[04:25] (Flashback) Ashikiba
    It's so beautiful. It's like an instrument.
[04:30] (Flashback) Teshima
    I've actually been pretending
    with my own bike by lowering
[04:33] (Flashback) Teshima
    the handlebars as much as possible.
[04:35] (Flashback) Ashikiba
    What?
[04:36] (Flashback) Teshima
    I ride about a hundred
    kilometers on weekends.
[04:38] (Flashback) Ashikiba
    A hundred kilometers on a bike?
[04:41] (Flashback) Ashikiba
    Wait, handlebars can be lowered?
[04:43] (Flashback) Teshima
    That's what caught your attention?
[04:44] (Flashback) Teshima
    In real road races,
    they ride about 200 kilometers.
[04:48] (Flashback) Ashikiba
    Two hundred...
[04:49] (Flashback) Ashikiba
    I could never do that.
[04:51] (Flashback) Teshima
    I thought the same thing, at first.
[04:53] (Flashback) Teshima
    My legs were exhausted,
    and I was drenched in sweat,
[04:56] (Flashback) Teshima
    but when I checked my odometer,
    I'd only gone 20 kilometers.
[04:58] (Flashback) Teshima
    But the next week, I rode 40 kilometers.
[05:03] (Flashback) Ashikiba
    Seriously?
[05:04] (Flashback) Teshima
    The week after that, I rode 70 kilometers.
[05:07] (Flashback) Teshima
    It isn't magic.
[05:09] (Flashback) Teshima
    I think it's something humans
    inherently possess...
[05:15] (Flashback) Teshima
    The ability to improve through
    acquiring experience.
[05:20] Ashikiba
    Acquiring experience?
[05:24] (Flashback) Teshima
    I can't ride 200 kilometers yet,
[05:26] (Flashback) Teshima
    but if I keep trying, I think
    I'll be able to eventually.
[05:29] (Flashback) Teshima
    So...
[05:30] (Flashback) Ashikiba
    Huh?
[05:32] (Flashback) Teshima
    Do you wanna try road racing with me?
[05:37] (Flashback) Ashikiba
    Wow, what a great sound.
[05:40] (Flashback) Ashikiba
    It really is like an instrument.
[05:43] (Flashback) Ashikiba
    Isn't this fun, Jun-chan?
[05:45] (Flashback) Teshima
    Yeah, Shikiba.
[05:48] Teshima
    And that's how we began riding bikes.
[05:52] Teshima
    At first, Shikiba couldn't keep up,
    but before long he became a competent rider.
[05:58] Teshima
    We entered middle school and joined
    the bicycle racing club together.

[06:03] (Flashback) Senpai A
    Pedal hard, Shikiba.
[06:04] (Flashback) Ashikiba
    Okay.
[06:06] (Flashback) Senpai B
    AshiTeshi are pretty good for first-years.
[06:09] (Flashback) Senpai C
    AshiTeshi?
[06:10] (Flashback) Senpai B
    They're inseparable, you know? So...
[06:14] (Flashback) Senpai B
    Ashikiba plus Teshima makes AshiTeshi.
[06:17] (Flashback) Higashido
    Man, they're fast.
[06:19] (Flashback) Senpai B
    Don't be a wimp.
[06:21] (Flashback) Senpai A
    Keep working at it, Higashido.
[06:23] (Flashback) Senpai A
    You're a first-year, too.
[06:26] (Flashback) Higashido
    Yes, sir. I'll strive to
    achieve AshiTeshiHiga.
[06:30] (Flashback) Both
    That sounds awful.
[06:33] Teshima
    We were all right in practice,
    but in races, we got buried.
[06:41] (Flashback) Ashikiba
    Those three were really fast.
[06:44] (Flashback) Teshima
    You dummy, we let them get away from us.
[06:46] (Flashback) Ashikiba
    Get away?
[06:47] (Flashback) Teshima
    They're gonna reach the
    finish line before us.
[06:49] (Flashback) Teshima
    We had to keep up with those three.
[06:52] (Flashback) Teshima
    They planned this attack and were quietly
    waiting for an opportunity. Damn it.
SIGN    16 Ashikiba Takuto
     17 Suda Naoya
     18 Teshima Junta
[06:58] Teshima
    We were failing to achieve anything.
[07:04] (Flashback) Teshima
    We still haven't gotten any chances yet.
[07:08] (Flashback) Teshima
    I placed 18th in that last race.
[07:11] (Flashback) Ashikiba
    I was 16th.
[07:13] (Flashback) Teshima
    That's not much different.
[07:15] (Flashback) Teshima
    Road races are all about winning.
[07:19] (Flashback) Teshima
    To achieve that, you need to try
    countless times, fail countless times,
[07:22] (Flashback) Teshima
    and seize opportunities that are
    as difficult as threading a needle.
[07:26] (Flashback) Teshima
    That's what the upperclassmen said.
[07:28] (Flashback) Ashikiba
    Opportunities?
[07:30] (Flashback) Teshima
    Maybe you just need to develop a feel for it.
[07:33] (Flashback) Teshima
    A feel for riding a bike.
[07:35] (Flashback) Teshima
    I have no idea what I'm
    supposed to be seeing.
[07:39] (Flashback) Teshima
    All I ever get out of racing is regret
    and things I could've done better.
[07:42] (Flashback) Ashikiba
    They're fun for me,
[07:44] (Flashback) Ashikiba
    because I get to ride with you.
[07:48] (Flashback) Teshima
    I appreciate that, but I feel conflicted.
[07:51] (Flashback) Ashikiba
    There's something else I enjoy about racing.
[07:56] (Flashback) Ashikiba
    There's something I see when
    I start having fun during races.
[08:00] (Flashback) Ashikiba
    I start to see a path that seems like it
    would lead me to the front if I did this,
[08:04] (Flashback) Ashikiba
    that, and the other thing.
[08:05] (Flashback) Ashikiba
    But force myself to hold back.
[08:09] (Flashback) Ashikiba
    I mean, if I followed it,
    I'd be separated from you.
[08:16] (Flashback) Ashikiba
    I race because I want to ride with you.
[08:21] Teshima
    What path? Is that what it means
    to have a talent for riding bikes?
[08:25] Teshima
    Is this guy actually way closer
[08:28] Teshima
    to finding his opportunity than I am?
[08:32] (Flashback) Teshima
    Shikiba!
[08:33] (Flashback) Ashikiba
    Huh?
[08:34] (Flashback) Teshima
    You...
[08:37] Teshima
    "You might have an incredible latent talent."
[08:41] Teshima
    I couldn't come out and say those words then.
[08:45] Teshima
    Damn, damn.
[08:47] (Flashback) Ashikiba
    You're so funny, Jun-chan. You're powerful.
[08:52] (Flashback) Teshima
    I lost today's race because I'm not powerful.
[08:55] (Flashback) Ashikiba
    No, I can feel it in my heart.
    You're emotionally powerful.
[08:59] (Flashback) Teshima
    Huh?
[09:00] (Flashback) Ashikiba
    I'm having so much fun right now.
[09:03] (Flashback) Ashikiba
    I'm glad I came to Chiba.
[09:09] Teshima
    Ashikiba had apparently moved several
    times due to his parents' jobs.
[09:15] Teshima
    And each time, he left places he'd grown
    accustomed to behind.
[09:21] Teshima
    I wonder how it feels to move.
[09:26] Teshima
    Is it a lonely experience, or is
    it more complicated than that?
[09:31] (Flashback) Teshima
    Hey, Shikiba. Have you been
    thinking about high school?
[09:35] (Flashback) Teshima
    In Chiba—
[09:35] Ashikiba
    I don't know if I'll still
    be in Chiba by high school.
[09:40] Teshima
    "The best schools in Chiba for bicycle racing are
    Makuhari Keiyo, Chiba Sohoku,"
[09:44] Teshima
    "and Kashiwa Higashi."
[09:46] Teshima
    I decided not to say that after all.
[09:50] Teshima
    Oh, right. Shikiba, you...
[09:54] Teshima
    Your time is limited.
[09:57] Teshima
    You practice road racing
    and piano knowing that.
[10:01] (Flashback) Ashikiba
    Huh? What's the matter, Jun-chan?
[10:05] (Flashback) Teshima
    I love bicycles.
[10:07] (Flashback) Ashikiba
    Huh?
[10:08] (Flashback) Teshima
    So I want you to learn to
    love them even more, too.
[10:11] (Flashback) Ashikiba
    I'm already having plenty of fun.
[10:13] (Flashback) Teshima
    That's not what I meant.
[10:16] (Flashback) Teshima
    I don't know how to explain it.
[10:22] Teshima
    I want him to achieve something
    that will make him glad
[10:27] Teshima
    he decided to take up bicycle racing.
[10:29] Teshima
    But suddenly winning a
    race would be too much.
[10:35] (Flashback) Teshima
    The King of the Mountains...
SIGN    King of the Mountains
[10:37] Teshima
    A title awarded to the first rider to
    reach the top of a difficult climb.
[10:44] Teshima
    It's an honor and something to be proud of.
[10:46] Teshima
    The winner receives a special jersey.
SIGN    Chiba Series Road Race Fifth Round
[10:49] Teshima
    There are no jerseys in middle
    school-level regional races,
[10:54] Teshima
    but you get to stand on the winner's podium,
    and you receive a simple prize, too.
[10:59] (Flashback) Ashikiba
    It's so cold in the morning.
[11:01] Teshima
    Shikiba, I want to help
    you achieve something.
[11:06] Teshima
    I want you to be glad you chose to
    ride bikes with your limited time.
[11:14] Teshima
    Once you stand on the
    winner's podium, I'm sure...
[11:19] Teshima
    you'll come to love bikes even more, too.
[11:23] (Flashback) Ashikiba
    Jun-chan, you seem even
    more hyped up than usual.
[11:26] (Flashback) Ashikiba
    I can feel your competitive spirit.
[11:30] (Flashback) Teshima
    I told you, today you're going
    to be the King of the Mountains.
[11:34] (Flashback) Teshima
    Leave it to me. I'll make sure you win it.
[11:36] (Flashback) Ashikiba
    I told you, that's not possible.
[11:39] (Flashback) Ashikiba
    Let's ride to have fun, like we always do.
[11:44] (Flashback) Teshima
    Listen to me, Shikiba.
[11:46] (Flashback) Teshima
    In road races, most everyone
    is riding for the finish line.
[11:50] (Flashback) Teshima
    In a hill climb, since the
    finish line is at the peak,
[11:54] (Flashback) Teshima
    that's what everyone's going for.
[11:55] (Flashback) Teshima
    There's a lot of competition.
[11:57] (Flashback) Teshima
    But the mountain result line
    is on the middle of the course.
[12:02] (Flashback) Teshima
    Making an attempt on the mountain
    result line would exhaust them,
[12:05] (Flashback) Teshima
    so guys aiming for the finish
    line won't make a move.
[12:08] (Flashback) Teshima
    There's less competition.
    Not many guys are going for it.
[12:11] (Flashback) Teshima
    Even you could be the King of the
    Mountains if you work hard enough.
[12:17] (Flashback) Ashikiba
    Really? I see, it's because
    there's less competition.
[12:21] (Flashback) Ashikiba
    You're so smart, Jun-chan.
[12:23] (Flashback) Teshima
    Hey, don't look at me like this is the
    first time you're hearing about it.
[12:30] (Flashback) Rider A
    We've entered the climb.
[12:31] (Flashback) Rider B
    The road is getting steeper.
SIGN    Caution Turn Ahead
[12:34] (Flashback) Teshima
    It's time. Earlier I said there wouldn't
    be much competition, but it's not easy.
[12:41] (Flashback) Teshima
    The winner's podium is still for winners.
[12:43] (Flashback) Teshima
    There are always a few guys willing to
    give up the finish line for that honor.
SIGN    8% Grade Ahead
[12:50] (Flashback) Teshima
    Let's go, Shikiba. Raise your pace.
[12:52] (Flashback) Teshima
    We're gonna keep up with those four.
[12:57] (Flashback) Teshima
    You can do it. This is the moment of truth.
[13:05] (Flashback) Teshima
    What's wrong, Shikiba? Pedal!
[13:07] (Flashback) Teshima
    If we don't keep up now,
    your King of the Mountains—
[13:11] (Flashback) Ashikiba
    Look, Jun-chan. We have a great
    view of the scenery from here.
[13:16] (Flashback) Teshima
    The... scenery?
SIGN    Yowamushi Pedal
[13:27] (Flashback) Teshima
    Why were you enjoying the view during a race?
[13:29] (Flashback) Teshima
    What the hell was today's race?
[13:32] (Flashback) Teshima
    We took our time reaching the finish
    line and got buried like we always do,
[13:35] (Flashback) Teshima
    finishing 24th and 25th.
[13:37] (Flashback) Teshima
    What are you doing? This is pointless.
[13:40] (Flashback) Teshima
    I even told you when to go
    and what our goal was today.
[13:44] (Flashback) Ashikiba
    I turned you down!
[13:47] (Flashback) Ashikiba
    That's not possible.
[13:51] (Flashback) Ashikiba
    The view was nice.
[13:53] (Flashback) Ashikiba
    It was sunny, the air was dry,
     and we were up high.
[13:58] (Flashback) Ashikiba
    Is it really so wrong to want to show
    someone else when you see a beautiful view?
[14:05] (Flashback) Teshima
    There's a time and place for that.
[14:09] (Flashback) Teshima
    Damn it. What was all my effort for?
[14:14] (Flashback) Teshima
    Forget it. Let's get ready to go home.
[14:21] (Flashback) Ashikiba
    I'm over it, too.
[14:30] (Flashback) Ashikiba
    It's so cold. I bet it'll be cold
    if my shoes get wet on the way home.
[14:35] (Flashback) Higashido
    Hey, Ashikiba.
[14:37] (Flashback) Ashikiba
    Oh, uh...
[14:39] (Flashback) Higashido
    You should know my name
    by now. It's Higashido.
[14:42] (Flashback) Higashido
    My nickname is Higashimaru.
[14:44] (Flashback) Ashikiba
    Do you need something?
[14:46] (Flashback) Ashikiba
    It's raining today,
    so there's no practice, right?
[14:49] (Flashback) Higashido
    Lately you've been skipping
    practice even when it's sunny.
[14:53] (Flashback) Ashikiba
    Oh, well, you know...
[14:59] (Flashback) Higashido
    I heard you and Teshima had a falling out.
[15:04] (Flashback) Higashido
    You're thinking about quitting, aren't you?
[15:07] (Flashback) Ashikiba
    What? No, uh...
[15:10] (Flashback) Ashikiba
    How did you know?
[15:12] (Flashback) Higashido
    Teshima said that might be the case.
[15:17] (Flashback) Higashido
    You didn't come to last week's event.
[15:20] (Flashback) Higashido
    Teshima was waiting the whole time.
SIGN    Chiba Cycling Festival
[15:23] Higashido
    Even after the race started,
[15:24] Higashido
    he waited there at the starting line
    by himself like he was half-asleep.
[15:29] Ashikiba
    What?
[15:33] Ashikiba
    But...
[15:35] Ashikiba
    Being grabbed and screamed at would
    make anyone want to quit riding.
[15:41] Higashido
    Have you thought about why Teshima
    grabbed you by the collar?
[15:46] Higashido
    He told me a while ago on
    the way home after practice.
[15:50] (Flashback) Higashido
    You're gonna make Ashikiba
    the King of the Mountains?
[15:52] (Flashback) Teshima
    It's a good idea, right?
[15:54] (Flashback) Teshima
    He's a pretty good climber
    once he gets going.
[15:58] (Flashback) Higashido
    Well, yeah, but...
[16:00] (Flashback) Teshima
    I'll have to work hard, too.
[16:02] (Flashback) Higashido
    You?
[16:04] (Flashback) Teshima
    Someone needs to take Shikiba
    to the top of the mountain.
[16:07] (Flashback) Teshima
    Winning requires sacrifice.
[16:12] (Flashback) Ashikiba
    Sacrifice...
[16:14] (Flashback) Higashido
    That's right. After all,
    road racing is a team sport.
[16:18] (Flashback) Higashido
    When multiple opponents come at you,
    you can't fight them off alone.
[16:21] (Flashback) Higashido
    You need someone to set things up for you.
[16:25] (Flashback) Higashido
    I can't do it.
[16:28] (Flashback) Higashido
    But maybe he's the kind of guy
[16:30] (Flashback) Higashido
    who gets excited about working
    hard for someone else's sake.
[16:34] (Flashback) Higashido
    Do you know where Teshima is today?
[16:38] (Flashback) Ashikiba
    Huh?
[16:40] (Flashback) Higashido
    He needs to be able to climb, too,
     if he's going to set you up.
[16:44] (Flashback) Higashido
    He has to practice climbing.
[16:46] (Flashback) Higashido
    But on normal days, his schedule's
    full with team practice.
[16:50] (Flashback) Higashido
    So he told me...
[16:54] (Flashback) Higashido
    On rainy days when the team doesn't practice,
     he practices climbing alone.
[17:00] (Flashback) Teshima
    It's so cold. The water's seeped
    all the way into my gloves.
[17:05] (Flashback) Teshima
    What am I doing?
[17:09] (Flashback) Teshima
    I can't believe I'm practicing for
    a guy who's about to quit the team.
[17:13] (Flashback) Teshima
    I must be stupid.
[17:14] (Flashback) Higashido
    He trained pretty hard for that race, too.
[17:19] (Flashback) Higashido
    He told me not to tell you because
    it'd put pressure on you, though.
[17:26] (Flashback) Teshima
    Damn it. What was all my effort for?
[17:31] (Flashback) Ashikiba
    Jun-chan...
[17:33] (Flashback) Higashido
    Also, Ashikiba, he said you've probably
    got more talent than he does.
[17:40] (Flashback) Ashikiba
    Jun-chan!
[17:41] (Flashback) Higashido
    Hey, where are you going?
[17:44] (Flashback) Ashikiba
    Jun-chan!
[17:47] Ashikiba
    Jun-chan... Jun-chan... Jun-chan...
[17:52] (Flashback) Ashikiba
    I'm sorry, Jun-chan. I'm an idiot.
[17:56] (Flashback) Ashikiba
    What have I been doing?
[18:00] Ashikiba
    Where is he? Where is he?
[18:07] Ashikiba
    Where is he? Is he up this way?
[18:14] Ashikiba
    He's not here.
[18:17] Ashikiba
    Jun-chan!
[18:21] Ashikiba
    This way?
[18:23] Ashikiba
    Come to think of it,
    Jun-chan had always said...
[18:29] (Flashback) Teshima
    Let's do this tomorrow.
[18:30] (Flashback) Teshima
    You'd better show up to the
    race in peak condition.
[18:33] (Flashback) Ashikiba
    Huh? What?
[18:34] (Flashback) Teshima
    I'm gonna show you the ultimate sight.
[18:38] (Flashback) Ashikiba
    Is there a observation platform with
    a view of the sea or something?
[18:40] (Flashback) Teshima
    That's not what I meant...
[18:44] (Flashback) Ashikiba
    Jun-chan was trying to sacrifice himself
[18:47] (Flashback) Ashikiba
    to show me the view from the winner's podium.
[18:53] (Flashback) Ashikiba
    But I heedlessly enjoyed the
    view of the mountains that day.
[18:57] (Flashback) Ashikiba
    I made myself the victim
    and skipped practice alone.
[19:04] (Flashback) Ashikiba
    Jun-chan!
[19:11] Ashikiba
    He's not up here.
[19:14] Ashikiba
    Where are you, Jun-chan?
[19:18] Ashikiba
    Is he up this long road?
[19:25] Ashikiba
    It's cold. The water's seeped all the way in.
[19:30] Ashikiba
    Jun-chan's always good at karaoke.
[19:34] Ashikiba
    He entertains everyone with funny medleys.
[19:38] Ashikiba
    I laugh, too.
[19:41] Ashikiba
    I'm always the one being entertained.
[19:44] Ashikiba
    I've never once thought about how
    it feels to be the entertainer.
[19:50] (Flashback) Ashikiba
    Where are you, Jun-chan?
[19:54] (Flashback) Ashikiba
    You're not here...
[20:01] (Flashback) Ashikiba
    You're not here.
[20:04] (Flashback) Ashikiba
    Come on out.
[20:07] (Flashback) Ashikiba
    Let me apologize to you, Jun-chan!
[20:21] Ashikiba
    I hear someone breathing.
[20:29] (Flashback) Teshima
    Hey, Shikiba. What are you doing
    riding your bike in your uniform?
[20:34] (Flashback) Teshima
    You'll catch a cold if you
    don't wear a raincoat.
[20:38] (Flashback) Ashikiba
    Jun—
[20:40] (Flashback) Teshima
    But I'm glad you're riding your bike again.
[20:44] (Flashback) Teshima
    Since you stopped coming
    to practice, I've been worried.
[20:51] (Flashback) Teshima
    I was actually just thinking
    it was wrong of me to force you
[20:55] (Flashback) Teshima
    to go for the King of the Mountains.
[21:01] (Flashback) Ashikiba
    Jun-chan!
[21:02] (Flashback) Teshima
    Hey, whoa! Careful!
[21:05] (Flashback) Teshima
    Watch what you're doing.
[21:07] (Flashback) Ashikiba
    I'm sorry. I'm sorry, Jun-chan. I...
[21:10] (Flashback) Teshima
    Well, it's not like I fell.
     You don't need to—
[21:15] (Flashback) Ashikiba
    I didn't understand how you felt.
[21:18] (Flashback) Teshima
    Oh, that?
[21:22] (Flashback) Ashikiba
    I'm sorry I didn't go to last week's event.
[21:25] (Flashback) Ashikiba
    I heard from, uh, that guy that
    you waited at the starting line.
[21:29] (Flashback) Teshima
    You mean Higashido.
SIGN    Chiba Cycling Festival
[21:33] (Flashback) Teshima
    I just happened to feel like riding
    alone that day, so I was waiting.
[21:38] (Flashback) Teshima
    Don't worry about it.
[21:42] (Flashback) Ashikiba
    Next time, I'll be the King of the Mountains.
[21:45] (Flashback) Ashikiba
    Help me do it, Jun-chan.
[21:48] (Flashback) Teshima
    Shikiba...
[21:49] (Flashback) Teshima
    I'm glad you feel like
    riding your bike again.
[21:55] (Flashback) Teshima
    I don't know when it'll happen,
[21:57] (Flashback) Teshima
    but I promise I'll help you
    become the King of the Mountains.
[22:01] (Flashback) Ashikiba
    Yeah.
[22:05] (Flashback) Teshima
    Shikiba, you wanna start practicing
    climbing together from now on?
[22:10] (Flashback) Ashikiba
    Yeah, Jun-chan.
[22:21] Teshima
    Ultimately, we were still
    inexperienced back then.
[22:26] Teshima
    We never won the King of the Mountains.
[22:28] Ashikiba
    Yeah.
[22:30] Teshima
    And then we went on to
    different high schools.
[22:34] Teshima
    Since then, I've worked myself to death,
[22:37] Teshima
    and you've developed your talent.
[22:41] Teshima
    It's taken quite a while.
[22:44] Teshima
    Our positions and environments
    have changed, too.
[22:47] Teshima
    The mountain result line
    up ahead will be mine.
[22:53] Ashikiba
    It's on.
[22:56] Ashikiba
    But some things haven't changed.
[22:58] Ashikiba
    I still feel the same way.
[23:00] Ashikiba
    I think you still feel the same way.
[23:06] Ashikiba
    Winning the King of the
    Mountains is our goal!
[23:09] Teshima
    You're attacking, Shikiba?
[23:12] Ashikiba
    Let's go, Jun-chan!
[23:14] Ashikiba
    This is our last race!
[23:17] Teshima
    Bring it on!
