ywpd Spare Bike translation

Pg.1

What's this, why am i so annoyed

It's not that he talking about me

"lame hairband"

It's just annoyed me so much, sho!!

I'm sorry

Pg.2-3

Tadokorocchi!!

Pg.4

I've got to give him a lesson, sho—!!

Pg.5

Sho—

Sorry!! I'm using my dancing on the climb right now

But-

Pg.6

The last 150 m. on this hill is a zigzag road

Many corners in a row, bad for visibility!!

And that guy is one curve away!!

Tadokorocchi, it's fine right, using the dancing like this!!

If he doesn't see it!!

Pg.7

I will close it!!

Close the gap!!

Even just for a moment

I need to make that guy eyes wide open

And shut him up for a moment

I want to outwit him!!

Sho

So please—

Pg.8

Don't look back!!

Pg.9

Catch up!!

Don't look!!

Pg.10

Pg.11

His eyes wide opened

1

2... 3....

I shut him up for 3 seconds

Pg.12

Wha

You, ah!?

Huh!? Line up with me!?

Since when...HOW!? Huh!?

What did you do

"pants pants. aaaah i tried so hard"

His smile is so creepy

Huh!?

"ah~~~ I'm so tired~~~ I cant keep going~~"

"ah~~~ the victory going to be taken away from me~~"

Huh!? Now your speed dropping!?

Phew I'm satisfied now

Pg.13

Someone arrived at the top of the hill already. It's the Meiso jersey

What was that...

He's just, lined up with me

It's climber, Kanamori

There's another on the back, did they race?

I got ahead of him by 1 curve

How!?

"tried so hard"...?

Just that!? Is this like something happens when there's a fire or something!?

Or does he really have it, the trump card ...

The hidden sword!!

Ahahaha that guy is swaying

Good luck—

Or it's just me

I accidentally dropped my pace!?

Pg.14

Several minutes later, the two have returned to the pack

Pg.15

Did you win

I lost, sho

Then why do you looks so happy!?

Because I proved him wrong, sho!!

By the way, Maki-chan, when you went ahead you were yelling about something, what was that?

Huh!? Ah..... mmhm aiyah...

A few in the pack had made some attacking, but it's continued as is

And slowly closing the gap to the 8 runaways

Behind you by 30 seconds, Arakita!!

Thanks, senpai, that for real!?

30, huh...that's bad

Yeah.. they started to get serious

But why? The race is 18 km left

If it's 30 seconds we should be able to outdid them if we try, aren't we, Arakita

Ah... Did you not finish the syllabuses, Shusaku, it's not just the distance

Road race is to "fight the terrain" too

Pg.16

The laps are about to end

The sign that told us to turn right until just now

Will change to turn left

And then today's race main stage

Will be started

Pg.17

It's the ridge

You need to climb for 15 km

When that's arrived we are out of use

And fall behind

Are Jinpachi and the others that amazing ...

Today's goal is at the top of that mountain

Pg.18

It's about time they make a move

Pg.1

Dear All Nine million five hundred thousand Yowamushi from around the country, sorry for the wait

We finally doing it

Sakamichi's second Inter-High has came to an end, and Fanbook III will be looking back into the fierce battle at that second summer!!

What is this board with letters, Teshima-san

Hm

It's so heavy!?

It's a script

Why did you stated it like "this is normal, isn't it?"

So let's begin!!

Pg.2

Then let's make it 2, yeaaaah

Pg.3

Wow—

Oh—

Hm—

It really feel like he's talking, with that board

True, I was worry how's it going to turn out making Aoyagi-san the MC of this. You really came up with an amazing idea, Onoda-kun

No!! Make him talk, make Aoyagi-san talk, normally!!

What happened there, is the mic not on? Is it just a prop

What's with the "yeaaaah" is he a rock singer? What is "let's make it 2" again

That's a signature phase

Calm down, show off

Pg.4

It's fine, don't worry

We asked for support

Kaburagi!! I won't forgive you for skipping your duty no matter the reason!!

Koga-saaaaaan!!

Let's go Kaburagi, you still have potential

Huh? Woah you really serious about doing this "script" thing, Koga-san

But really, what I'm not happy with is much more basic stuff

Let's do it, Kaburagi

Eh. Ah. YESSIR !!

Pg.5

Let's begin, today's MC is me, Sohoku Highschool third year, sprinter, Aoyagi Hajime

The Hajime in Aoyagi Hajime is wrote with number one

Ah just now

I supposed to do the hand too?

No you didn't even say it yourself!!

Moreover!! The mic is on too!!

Pg.6

I did all the works because I thought it's broken!! But it's actually working perfectly, and you still don't talk!!

They really chose the wrong person for this!!

So the first guest is you, Kaburagi

Huh?!

Come up

This is first year, Kaburagi

Now talk, about the Inter-High

Pg.7

Eh!?

No but there's so many people

Ah well...about IH right...

This is bad, everyone is looking at me

Er————m well I rode a lot... Eh

Damn it I cant think of anything

And then ...

Is my outfit looking fine right now

Maybe I should have worn my uniform

eh—

I can only think of something unrelated

Damn it

He played a role on third day

Pulling our team to the mountain entrance, taking his duty seriously

I retired out of exhaustion before that so I didn't get to see it with my own eyes but when I heard about it

Pg.8

I think "you did really well on that big task"

No, wait, wha, HUH!?

Uuugh whys the tear...

Because that surprise compliment...this won't do

Ughhh I'm so happy!!

No no Aoyagi-san!! You are more amazing, pulling the team that far...when we caught up to Hakogaku It was amazing

I really respect you!!

Thank you so much!!

...Yeah

Pg.9

Moving on to our next guests

Finally have the heart to do it, huh, Kaburagi!!

On the third day final battle for the mountain, Teshima and Ashikiba both of them

Ah. Teshima-san and Ashikiba-san..! I want to hear about that race too

Since it happened after I dropped out

And

And?

The two who raced for the goal, Onoda and Manami

Ooh? Really? They will talk about that too!? I'm so hyped up now!!

And

And?!

Those who assisted it to happened, Kuroda and Imaizumi

Pg.10

That's all, please welcome all 6 of them

No that's too much!!

They can't even all sit properly, though!?

Imaizumi-san literally can sit half ass on that!!

Pg.11

Then I should be standing

No, Onoda san you are the winner, please sit on your seat!!

Is the spare chair not here yet?

What? Now?!

As I thought, looking closer, you really are big, Ashikiba-san. Even for me that is 181cm

Really? Ah right, I actually have something to say to you, Imaizumi

Hey!! Dont just start chit chat!!

In the race we first met, when I was still second year, at mount Minega in autumn...

Sorry for mistook you for Sugimoto

Oh that, it's fine

But I also have something to say

In this year IH, Ashikiba-san, you got color number tag of first day goal, and the last two days mountain, right ?

Pg.12

Getting 3 colored number tag at IH, aren't you a super MVP?

No...

On the first day I got Yuki-chan assistant

And on the second day is because I got Yuto

For the third day is

Because Jun-chan is there for me

It's true that I'm the one who got the number tag but for the third day mountain one, to me, it's still Jun-chan's

All those number tags are thanks to everyone, I was just lucky to be in a good position at the time

That's what he said, Elite, how's our Ashikiba!! High potential but still so modest!!

He's great, right!!

Pg.13

Ugh

"Elite?"

Huh

That's not true, Im just saying the truth, Yuki-chan

Well "Elite"...being conscious about that is important too

If you don't have the selfish feelings of breaking through things you will have a hard time in the race

Maybe you and me, in essence,

Sorry for the wait—!

Are similar !!

Pg.14

Eh........ is, is that so?

I dont look that arrogant, though

Huh, but you kinda are

Really?!

Yeah!! Even Danchiku said so

I wanted to come out looking like a good senpai, though....

Hotshot, Kakakaka, dont look so down

Well then, since the talk is all hyped up now, let's hear it from these two next

The two who battle for the last day goal

Sohoku highschool second year, Onoda Sakamichi and Hakone Academy second year, Manami Sangaku

It's a mask

Pg.15

Hold on hold on, that? Just that!? What about the mascot costume under that!?

The height also weird, the person inside definitely not the real one. There's a lot more to mention

By the way, that mask

Is the one I owned

Hakone Academy first year, Shinkai Yuto!!

I happened to found it at the festival, it looks like Manami-san so I bought it

Didn't thought there would be the day it comes to good use at all

Both you and your brother sure make a dramatic appearance

Hello~ sorry to keep you waiting~

So you came, Yuto

Ashikiba-san

Eh... So apparently Manami is late again

Pg.16

Aaaah there's all kind of things here—!!!

So if you want to come you can just do it whenever you want, huh?!

You know, Onoda-san told me

Yeah

I don't really understand but this is the third fanbook of something and it's important

Yeah

And he told me so seriously that I have to take it serious too

Yeah

That's why I do my best with the backstage stuffs

Without complaining!!

You have been doing it a lot, saying everything you think

Then I will just do whatever I want too

Haha! Get that you mascot!!

Inside are just the pig anyway, right!!

Come on out, Doubashi-san!! Acting all so big now, haha

Pg.17

What are you talking about, Orange

We've been watching from here all the time, Abu!!

Eh!?

Ah!?

HUH!?

Hostile vibe!?

I'm here because it said to be an easy part time that just stand still!

What is this weird, powerful presence!?

Eh!?

Who....

So why did I get kicked too!!

Who is this guy!?

You are done for, Kaburagi

Eeeeeeeeh

Damn it!!

Pg.18

Who can stand this job!!

Former of Hakone Academy, number 2, ace assistant, Arakita Yasutomo-san!!

Pg.19

You are a deadmeat, showoff

Yup Immediate death

Wah... eh.. is he that bad!?

Dont get so cocky!!

You are a first year, huh!!

Yessirr

Stop, Yasutomo

We are doing part time because being college students need lots of money!

If you cause a ruckus now, we won't get our money!!

That!!

Ah...!

Pg.20

Former captain and ace of Hakone Academy, Fukutomi Juichi-san!!

Waaaaaaah it's been a while

Fukutomi-san, Abu!!

Welcome, please get on stage

No we are just here to do part time...

That's right, everyone will enjoy this!! Please!!

For real!?

Let us hear the IH from your view too, Abu!!

Thank you so much for coming to cheer for us!!

Eeeeeeh they are that amazing of senpais

Ha, you only realised that now!!

Ahaha

Pg.1

We've now enter the third day of IH and about to reach the last mountain point with high spirit

But today volume 54.5, fanbook II, huh?, will do a celebration

...... looking back into the fierce battle in IH up until now with a special interview

Bringing to you by the MC

Me, Sohoku high school second year, Imaizumi Shunsuke!?

Pg.2

This is special manga for this book

Have you guys been doing well—

Pg.3

Wait wait wait wait wait

Onoda, Oi!!

What is this script, I don't even understand what's it mean and why am I the MC...

I'm the wrost at handling many people

Just now was amazing!! Imaizumi-kun

As I thought, you really can look cool doing anything!

That doesn't count as successfully do it!!

Also what is this? Looking back into the Inter-High...it doesn't even ended yet

Yeah!!

Pg.4

So this book, is called "comic volume 54.5" made to entertain the fans of "Yowamushi Pedal" to the fullest

And this is the special manga that will be included in said book!!

You are saying something hard to understand again, Onoda....

Book? Pedal?

There's also volume 27.5, contains the first edition, that was published before too

But it's definitely anime vocab... This guy is real detailed about those manga and anime stuffs

And this one is the second edition of that one, which has details data and famous scenes

I understand it now, Onoda

Simply put is I just have to wear this suit and do as this script says

Yeah!!

Thank you, thank you

No need to thank me

Pg.5

It's fine

It's what you asked of me, you had helped me a lot more time, Onoda

Way to go, Imaizumi, I have high expectations from your duty as MC now

nod

Go for it!! Senpai!!

Woah, Teshima-san, Aoyagi-san, even Kaburagi ...ugh the pressure

Huh, um... Naruko you are here too?

Kakakaka

Of course I am! No way the flashy guy of Naniwa isn't at the special stage like this

I even want to take your duty!!

Then take it!!

Imaizumi-kun is perfect for this~~~!

Is.. is that so.....tsk

Pg.6

Eh.... Then let's welcome our first guests

Sprinters from Hakone Academy, Izumida Touichirou-san and Doubasi Masakiyo-san

Still, Teshima-san looks like hes best at being MC...

Abu!!

Buha!!

Please have a seat

Pg.7

Glance

Aren't you going to say anything!?

We are the guest, aren't we? Isn't this to "look back into fierce battle at IH"!?

Well.. actually...

Here it says to "free talk".... Then I think, there's really nothing to talk about

There is!!? On the second day, Izumida-san overcome the struggles and win the sprint line!

You can just read the results to know that

Shouldn't you ask something about it!!

Onoda-kun, isn't it a mistake to choose hotshot

that's full on classic Imaizumi-kun

Damn you!!

well...

Pg.8

Then I will do the talk, give me the mic!!

Ah

Izumida-san is amazing with the sprint like an arrow he would never lose to anyone!!

Against that first year tricky guy called Komari from Kyofushi

He turned the table and get the victory!! That victory is Hakogaku's!!

And that sprint line has been witnessed by the senpai that went to Meiso University, Shinkai-san!!

Right, Izumida-san!!

Yes, I get to high-five him and the good-job bakyun

I was so happy, it feels like all the effort finally paid off

Pg.9

Ugh no matter how many time, that's such a nice story

You are crying

You also did great, Doubashi with the first day

I can't forgive myself for not be able to do the same thing last year

It's thanks to you!!

Abu

Buha

Abbuha!!

We synced nicely

Thanks—— you guys look satisfied

See you later, Imaizumi-kun

Pg.10

Abbuha!!

They kinda made me want to do it too..

Then for the upcoming guests

This guy definitely can't do reception, what is he doing

Hakone Academy, first year Shinkai Yuto-kun and third year Ashikiba Takuto-san

What's with his stardom.... inherit from his brother or something

Even the confetti

Hello~ I'm Yuto~

You are so popular, Yuto

Pg.11

Since I'm a climber

Thank you~

Yutoooo Kyaaaaaa

What was that... Also everyone in Hakogaku have signature poses....?

The crowds cheering...

Speaking of....

I don't have my signature pose

Whatever

[Shunsuke-kun doesn't mind]

Surprise letter corner, from Peak Panda-san in Sagamihara prefecture

"you two seem really close, but do you get haircut from the same place?"

"and Ashikiba-san's hair part that gets swirly, do you intentionally set it that way?"

What are these questions, pointless, how are we going to extend the conversation from these questions

Hey hotshot, dont speak all your thoughts!!

Pg.12

It indeed is the same place

Sometimes we went in at the same day and same time then go "ah"

ah...

They really answered it

Also since Ashikiba-san is so tall, the staff seem to have problems doing their job

My swirls....oh you mean this

Ah.. yeah that one

Every morning I use drier..

So he really set it!? Only that part!?

To be a swirl?!

To fix it but it never gets straight

No!!

I have a hair whorl around here

Eeh!? A hair whorl there!? This guy really is strange!!

Pg.13

But that's like your unique charm

Really?

The girls from first year saying that swirl is cute

hmm

That's actually gets people to have more fun than I thought

Then it's time

What about the Inter-High!!

Ah this isn't good

Eh then next is...

[The remaining time is running out]

About Teshima-san and Manami battle on Iroha, first day mountain point

Finally my time, huh

Good luck, Junta

But Manami isn't here yet

Oh my

Pg.14

Manami really being late, seriously

Anyway, what are you doing, Teshima-san?

Well he wouldn't come no matter how long we waited, and the scenery is nice

So I'm having a Tea Time, like for real

Pg.15

Riding a bike is way easier

Let's do it next time

I'm sorry

There's still more of IH to go after all

That's great, Junta

Did you watch me

Pg.16

It would be nice if I can go out and talk about our Team of 2

Right

We can do that!?

Well can't be helped, it's not my fault

He really can't be the MC

Let's move on

On the second day at mount Haruna

Defending the attack from Kyofushi all alone... But still connected to the souls of teammates

Passing baton of frie.. friendship....!?

Touch!

Welcoming Sohoku second year, Naruko Shoukichi-san!? Huh what is this?!

Hello—! Thank you, I'm the red rocket man, genius Naruko Shoukichi!! Let's have fun today!!

Pg.17

No, that is not it. That was indeed a passing baton...... But it's definitely not out of friendship!!!

Not with this guy...

Why do I need to takk one on one with him...

Kakaka shall we reminisce about those memories, hot-shot♪

Ah er, at that moment, Naruko-san,

Ugh keep it to the script

r– right before we catch up to you, you shouted "come, hotshot"

You did it because you trust in Imaizumi-san, right?

Please tell us how you feel

Pg.18

Ugh!! No way. I said it..... I do have memories of saying that!!!

No huh!?

No no wrong wrong wrong it's not that trust. I'm actually fine with whoever on our team come at the time... it's doesn't have to be hotshot.....

Come on!! Tell us how you felt!!

Ugh!! So irritating!! You are just hotshot!! He thought he won this!!

Kakakaaaa that was, you know!! You misheard it!!

I actually shouted "come, whoever but not that hotshot"!!!

Yeah definitely that!! Right!! I said that!!

I even remembered it!!

If you get all that works up it just screams you are lying, Naruko

Me, as someone you relied on, won't take it personally, ok?

Ugh...!!

Actually... I wanted to pass the baton to Onoda-kun but I just happened to see you there... that's all

Pg.19

If you are coming then Onoda-kun must be with you too, that's what I thought

.....of course, that's before the goal line, I have to ride with all my might

Hm

Let's end it here for today

Fine, if you have more to say then come by again

Well then next up is who also played a big role and won the second day

Welcoming Kyotofushimi, Midousuji Akira-san and Kishigami Komari

What is that panel, huh?

No matter what? They can't match our schedule? Can't attend?

Sigh....these guys really are selfish

Oi!! I told you dont say everything you think!!

Pg.20

Instead, we have third year from Kyotofushimi, Yamaguchi Noriyuki-san

Im fine being off as a shadow, just let me be in shadow

So why am I being put on this flashy stage

....who are you again?

Oh that plain guy from kyofushi, he doesn't quite stand out I almost can't remember him

Stop saying!!!

Ah, Are you alright

[Yama-san is a very good guy, please play along nicely!!]

Play along?

It's fine, I will do it

They told me to talk as a representative of Kyotofushimi, I'm a representative so I will have to do it

Pg.21

But I can't do the talk!

Then, in a time like this

Please lend me it

Ah my mic

The Katsura River that cut through Kyoto〜♪

The Sakura that blew down the tree, O' youth〜♪

Aaah Kyotofushimi is where we learn, Aaah Kyotofushimi morning glory is so blinding〜♪

Singing the school anthem?!

Thank you so much

He's done it

That guy is amazing

Right

Pg.22

Hm?

We will change the plan here a little, two people we sent out offer has arrived. Let's welcome them

Two people, who?

They don't participate in this race but

So they dont

Their race on the mountain of second day is very memorable

Oh maybe Sugimoto and Koga-san

They climb up Iroha to deliver our supply, they secretly made it a race too? Hmm...

Two climbers who pass the peak of the mountain without even a name

For 6 race that day, even with eyes closed the scenes still play vividly

Pg.23-24

Last year, third year legendary climber, Makishima Yusuke-san and

sho

Genius climber Toudou Jinpachi-san!!

Wahaha sorry for the wait, everyone!!

Pg.25

Through the laptop, though

Are you doing something we don't understand again, Onoda,...sho

Wahahah Have you all been doing well!!

I am the man that granted 3 things from the heaven, climbing, talking and most of all this beauty

Even through computer this guy still is noisy

Good luck with the IH, sho

Yessir!

Toudou-san!!

Manami and Kuroda is not here

Hahaha Kuroda is busy with his training, for Manami

He probably got bored of it and taking a nap right now

Special illustrations

Wahahah wonderful, it's volume 50, Maki-chan!

Huh? Volume 50? What now, sho, Toudou

You didn't realise it at all, huh. Our journey has been made into books!! And it's now reached volume 50!

What are you talking about, sho?

Pg.1

There are two people jump out

Who's that

Makishima!!

Maki-chan!!

Pg.2-3

There are 2 people jumped out at the hill of the lap course!!

One is wearing Meiso jersey, 2nd year Kanamori!!

Another on is red jersey!!

Are they speeding up the pace!?

No no one follows them

You're right

So it's individual battle, until—

Until the hill 800m. ahead of us!!

Makishima!!

Not the time yet!!

Pg.4

Guhaha!!

Tsk

Pg.5

You are surprisingly climbing after me well for someone jumping in out of rage

Green hair!!

Pg.6

I have name-

Called Makishima Yusuke, sho!!

Pg.7

This guy get ahead of me in just one moment!?

Hmm

So you are a climber, right!

Not bad, you are good at climbing!!

You know how to use your torso, not wavering, your posture is a little tilted, though

Seems like you got the sense

Tatezaki-san said it too, maybe the last minute added is necessary in mountain. It's a bingo then

And that climber came here to support Toudou Jinpachi, all the way from England!!

Pg.8

For his Friend!!

Acting like a hero!!

Tsk

Tsk

Pg.9

Hey hey

What's with that chasing

Oi oi, are you tired already, Hero!! With the speed like that-

You can't even get the ticket to the Mountain Battle Land!!

Show it to me, if you really have it

The trump card!!

Pg.10

Damn it!! Makishima!!

He just jump out without any discussion, did it even get into his head!? My last words!!

Is this okay.... No no way it is!? Damn it!!

Tadokoro Jin!!

Your "words"?

I meant what I told him

Before we start, that it's "not the time yet"!!

Huh? My? Dancing?

Pg.11

Yeah

Today, until we reached the mountain— until the battle

Dont use your Dancing

Sho...

Your dancing is fast

But there's not much people in this race that know about it, yet

If they know, they will be on guard

And if we can move freely, our chances are higher

So it's not the time yet, wait until the mountain!!

Is my dancing really that special? It's just tilted a little more?

It is!!

Pg.12

Damn it!! Tadokorocchi!!

You said something so hard to be done, sho!!

If I stand up from the saddle

And shift this gear

Pg.13

I can be over there in 5 seconds!!

Don't hide it from me, show me what those arms and legs can do

What's wrong, are you a real turtle now? Green turtle!!

Seriously this guy.... Not only he interrupt conversation but he's a chatterbox too!!

"Hero" ? "Friend" ? "Green turtle" ?

Pg.14

I just want him to shut up!!

What's wrong, it's only 500m left now

Pg.15

400m!

There's no need to let the opponents know what we have on hands

300m!

Wait until the mountain!!

Hey hold on, are you serious

You barked out so sharp just now but really is just a crane fly, your ability only is to that extent!?

Pg.16

200m left!!

You really overestimated them, Tatezaki-san

It's decided, since it's just Toudou I will beat him

After passing this hill and return to the pack I will report to him

The helper of Tsukushiba Uni is just a green turtle

And the other one

Is just a "lame hairband"

Pg.17

Tatezaki-san

Kanamori-san... He jumped out...

Right, Shinkai, and it's the extra kid when I thought it would be Toudou-kun

I did tell him to don't do it

Well, he has always been caring about his position

His... Position?

Pg.18

What makes me happy is he looks up to me and says im the "strongest"

And believing I will win this race today

He doesn't want to let anyone take the second place seat

Guhahaha

Hold up— "lame hairband"?

What's this, why am i so annoyed

It's not that he talking about me

But it's just annoyed me so much, sho!!

Pg.1

Good luck—

They started moving

The wind is so strong

Pg.2-3

Kuha!

It finally started

The race in Japan!!

Toudou!! Tadokorocchi!!

Pg.4

Right!!

Yeah!!

Makichan!! Makishima!!

Pg.5

Can you please say my name too—!!

It does be like that!! It's really the moment like this...

How do I put this

Ignore? It feel like I'm being ignored!!

There's a wall right there

I can feel the high wall from how different his support is for those two!!

But also, those two didn't even notice it, ugh!!

Notice me please—!!

Pg.6

I never thought we would get to wear the same jersey and rude together again!!

Kuha!! Me too, sho!!

Did you notice, Jinpachi—

The parade run is almost end and soon they will wave the flag

That I also am in this race too—

I said it in our meeting but when other teams start their "run away" I need you to be on it too

I'm like Team?Mates? too right?

Count me in you guys' conversation too, oh and you

The race

Pg.7

Has started!!

Pg.8

-A lot of athletes rushed out now, from Yonan, it's the first year Arakita!!

-Meiso also sent the first year, Ishigaki!!

So fast

-Followed by Shoumeikan and Odajou universities!!

Pg.9

-They are away from the pack in a breathe!!

-Looks like the "run away" worked out!!

Hah!! Ishigaki-chan

You were also assigned to do "run away", huh? Isn't it a tiring role. Hah!

Right!! But let's do our best, Arakita

Pg.10

For the team!!

Hah!! Guess it has to be that way!!

Pedaling as hard as we can!!

Yeah!! Let's do that!!

Pg.11

And I said this at our meeting too that today layout will go around the flat for 3 times and climbing at the end

Between the flat and mountain I want to save as much power as possible

I also want to get along with him too

In road racing, there's unspoken rule of if at least one teammate do the "run away" the others don't need to chase them

But!

With his look, you know, he's kind of hard to approach

And that point your moves is important

Important!?

Me!?

That's right!!

(note: think of the prefecture team elect in ss3 anime, if you got out lapped, you are out of the race but here if at least one person is in the front group the team can still be in the race<-i think. pls correct me if im wrong)

Pg.12

To everyone!?

To the race!!

The ra...

I leave it to you, Shuusaku

Pg.13

What?? Damn it—!!

You didn't pay attention to any of my words, did you Jinpachi——!!

Damn you—— !!

There's one red jersey made a move too

Did he plan to jump on the "run away" group

Unexpectedly, that guy is kinda fast!?

Pg.14

Did Itokawa go out?

Mmhm!

Kuha! Jinpachi-

He went out with so much power.... He's from the same middle school as you. Was his name Hosizono

It's Itokawa

What did you say to instigate him, sho?

Why do you say that, he's an old friend of mine

I know him how he is well, so I just did it on purpose. Halfheartedly listen to him

Pg.15

Jinpachi!! He only say the plan he wants

"run away"? "Save your legs"? What even are those

I know a lot about bicycle but not road racing, I did tell you that. Damn it!!

To sum it up!

Shuusaku is the type to think a lot

Damn you—

If I sent him off normally, he would end up overthinking all sorts of things along the way

At times, too much can lesson your power

Pg.16

In short!!

I just need to catch up to the front is all, right!

There's someone caught up from behind alone

I just make him focus on one thing!!

Pg.17

Damn youu—!!

Isn't that stocky-kun!!

That added one more person to the "run away" group, make it 8 people

That guy just caught up alone?

Red jersey so it's Tsukushiba uni

Not bad!!

Since he's now in the "run away" we can just focus on the climbing in latter half, and the climbers can save their legs

Pg.18

We are counting on you, Itokawa!!

I know how straightforward he is the best!!

Kuha!

One persone... Hmm so Tsukushiba also join in the "run away"

Despite his look, he's quite reliable, sho!! Hoshizono!!

No, it's Itokawa. You didn't get even one syllabus right, Maki-chan ?

Yasutomo!! Let's increase our speed more and leave Jinpachi and the pack behind!!

Huh?? Ah... Why? Did you have a fight with Toudou or something?

Pg.1

"when the "run away" is a success, show how calm the race can be for once will be shown"

That is something people say in road racing since long ago

The "run away" group has to take supplies

While going after the goal at full speed too

Behind you is 1 minute and a half

Thanks sir!!

But since number of people is a key in road racing

1 minute and a half he said

Yeah I heard that

It didn't change from 20 minutes ago at all

You are right

Pg.2

As expected, you don't let us fully run away!

Seems like that. Hah!!

Why is that, Yasutomo! Let's run away from them!! Let's leave Jinpachi and the pack then go ahead to the goal first!!

Hah!!

Do some thinking. If the numbers of people equal powers

Our side has 8

Huh

Pg.3

And that side has 130.

The pack have overwhelmed advantage

Pg.4

If right now we have like 5 or 10 minutes then maybe. But the 1 minute and a half is the distance that can easily be closed

And of course some guy from there, probably Shinkai and Fuku-chan has come to the front of it. And took good control already

Then we are pointless!?

We are helping the ace saving their legs

Right now, I'm somehow being useful to Jinpachi!?

Yeah!! Me riding for Mihara-san, Ishigaki riding for Tatezaki-san

Pg.5

Eh... Wah...Me!? I was trying so hard to be away from Jinpachi...for Jinpachi!? And while we were having a fight too.....

Haha now he's fighting with himself

Hah!!

But it doesn't we definitely will be caught up. Anything can happen in road racing after all!!

Unexpected mechanical troubles, a big crash, any incident can happen and make the pack stopped

Then we will turn into the ace immediately!! There's always possibility like that hidden

Something that rarely probably not going to happen at all!! You went full throttle, use your power!? For something like that!?

Isn't that said probability too low!?

Pg.6

Probability too low?

Chances are always like that!!

Pg.7

Makishima...

Yo!! Kinjou!!

Why... are you wearing red jersey... Riding in Tsukushiba team!? With Tadokoro and...Toudou too? I was so shocked when I saw you before the start...

Come on calm down, sho, Kinjou. Kuha!

You don't explain anything!!

Well long story short. You know.

Pg.8

I met Toudou on the mountain! sho

Mountain?

Yeah that's too short, nothing is cleared up

And then he told me to be his fellow, sho!!

Are you going to go on adventure with the hero with sword or something?

I immediately contacted those above me in uni after our call but then you just emailed "things somehow worked out" like that

Ah... Er... Sorry my bad

Gahahaha Kinjou!!

Tadokoro!

Actually!!

Eh!? Sister school!? Study abroad without knowing!?

Maki-chan you didn't properly explain it to your ex teammate?

Well I thought I can just talk about it at the race...

He seems so shocked, though

Pg.9

But he's the first one I called, sho!!

You didn't call me even once. Dont say with a smug face

I wanted to surprise you. When I called him, Kinjou was very happy, sho!

Wait did you even call everyone in the first place, Maki-chan

Someone falling back!? It's Meiso's jersey!!

Is it Tatezaki-san!?

Pg.10

Ka...

Is your little messy reunion over?

Climber, Toudou Jinpachi

Pg.11

Meiso University's second ace, Kanamori-san!!

I have something to talk to you, is that alright. Heard you are good at climbing

Meiso...!?

Second climber, Kanamori-san

Are you today's ace? Are you the only climber?

In this lap there's a hill, it's not that long. Just around 800m. slope

How does that sound?

Pg.12

Would you race me there?

"race"?

Pg.13

Before the last lap of that long climbing, let's test the skill up that hill.

It can be a warm up battle

You are the guy Tatezaki-san respect, then I can't stay still

Let me test it, the legs of yours!!

Get out there, this is a direct invitation from senpai!! Doesn't the calm pack bored you

If you don't want to use your legs, you can just lost on purpose?

Oi you there

Pg.14

Toudou was talking to me, though?

What's with you

Couldn't you at least introduce yourself, sho

Huh?

Makishima!

You idiot! He's the Kanamori-san we were talking about before starting!

I'm telling not to get in between us, sho

Pg.15

Guhaha!!

What's that!!

What are you, some highschool getting mad because someone took your seat at the mall? And what's with the "sho"?

I told him I phoned Kinjou, and our conversation isn't ended yet, sho

Who's that? Kinjou? Never heard of him, I don't know what are you talking about, and you said "sho" again

If you want to race that much

Pg.16

Then I will do it, sho!!

...Maki-chan

Pg.17

Joke is for the comedians to say, you know. You and me?

But look at it again, you are also wearing red jersey...

Fine. I will start from crushing you first!!

Also what even is that hair, what are you on

I came all the way here from England to do 2 things. First is to participate in race in Japan. The other one is—

Pg.18-19

To have small talks with him(Toudou)!!

You saying nonsense again!!

Maki-chan!!

Pg.1

Huh!? Really!? ah sorry

Arakita Yasutomo-san your number tag is 024. Please recheck your information again

Got it, thank you miss

This is the last race?! What about the Tokai road one!?

It got cancelled

WHY!?

Pg.2

We would have be the local!! Since Yonan is in Shizuoka!!

They said the road construction wouldn't make it in time

Just do something about it!!

Don't say it to me

Pg.3

It's so close to us, we don't need to wake up early for it!! If we try hard enough we can even get there by bike

The road also is the one we use in practice a lot too!! I was looking forward to it a lot!!

It might feel like the reason is too little so the upperclassmen also asked them about things but in the end it's still a no

We also did something for it too! Like advertising it through pamphlets!!

Well cancelled is cancelled, it can't be helped

So it's pointless!!

I... Just realised there's a guy that would be even more bitter about this

Pg.4

Last week he fell during practice

Are you still alive? Are you alright? It's not that big deal

The abrasions were horrible

He did manage to convince the senpais but

I can still go. It's not a big deal, please let me participate in mount rokumizo race

I will cancel you from this week's, focus on recovering to be in the next one

The next one is the last one, and it will be held here so we better win!

Yessir!!

Pg.5

His face when he agreed to that was...

Fine, I will just make the next race even better

Right, he seems to be in good mood when saying goodbye to us too

Yeah

Try hard for me too

Alright

As of now he might see it on the race calendar and...

Wha? Huh!? Cancelled!? Huh!?

What even is this—!!

Pg.6

Let's do our best for him too. He was a good guy

Don't make it sound like he has passed can you?

Huh!? Does this mean Mihara-san overall victory now has even more effect?

Between the two, I think that's the main one yes

Pg.7

Uuuuugh don't add up the work——

What's wrong Kinjou? You keep looking around

Arakita and Kinjou are now back—!

Uh huh

Someone I miss will be riding in this race, probably

Someone you miss!?

In a black jersey. Recently he told me he's back in japan and threw me some work to do

But then he emailed me that "somehow things just worked out". So he's somewhere in this place and will be in the race

Hm...

Pg.8

My ex teammate in Sohoku, our ace climber, Makishima Yusuke

Ma... That guy? That intimidating guy with long hair, and creepy dancing but fast guy!!

Pg.9

That's right

I heard Toudou say something about him going oversea, though? Is he back now?

Apparently so, for a short time

Toudou would be glad too, wouldn't he. To be able to ride together again like this

I haven't talked to him much, but I did hear a lot of things from Toudou, "Maki-chan this" "Maki-chan that" and so on

Does he know about this too

If not then I bet when they meet

Pg.10-11

He would be so glad his hairband fly away

Pg.12

Oh the athletes started to enter now

Ooh—

Back there with red jersey is the newly formed team from Tsukushiba University

They lining up for the starting

The Toudou guy there is strong on climbing

Right, he chasing Tatezaki till the very last in Ichigi race

Huh? Tsukushiba team... had someone like that too!?

Pg.13

Nakasako!! And first years, Kinjou and Arakita I leave today to you guys!!

Yessir!!

Got it Mihara-san!!

-All athletes are now enter the race course and lining up at the start line

Go for it—!! Do it Hashinaka—!!

I'm counting on you, Kanamori-kun

Of course

Fukutomi, Shinkai, Ishigaki, you too!!

Yes sir!!

Pg.14

You came, Tsukushiba uni

Toudou!! Makishima!!

Fuku!!

Pg.15

It's dirty, Arakita. Now it's on my back too

cough cough No NOT THAT

He's there hestherehesthere

What's wrong? You are hurting somewhere?*

(arakita said he's there (ita) which similar to the word hurt so kinjou misunderstood)

Not that, dumbass!! It's Makishima!! He's there!!

I said I missed him but you don't need to be that surprised, let me see, where is he. Let's wave at him

His jersey isn't black

Pg.16

It's red!!

On top of that, besides him is Toudou!!

-the starting gun has announced the race begun

Pg.17

So those two is riding on the same team!!

What is this!?

Pg.18

-This is now final race of university series race. The mount Rokumizo race is now started

Tadokoro is there too!!

Good luck—!!

Goooo!!

Meiso—!!

Pg.1

Falls season— southern of Fukushima prefecture, Kawashiro city. Mount Koutsuru Park

My— it's been a while, sho. To be race in Japan

Pg.2

Wow— the scenery is quit nice

Is the mountain we are climbing today that one? Is it that one?

But guess we can't really see it?

Right Jinpa...chi.

Pg.3

I think the reception is in that building, Maki-chan

Alright

Oooh there are lots of green!! The weather feels so nice—

Phew... What was that--

The guy Jinpachi brought in..."Makishima-san"?

Who is he? He seems to always tilting

Sometimes he also just smug to himself

His fashion sense also wild

The hem is so long!! Isn't that too long...?

Pg.4

On top of everything, his face is so scary

[Makishima's smile, for the people who meet first time, it's scary]

But like, why is his hair green!? What even is that shade of green!? And why so long!! That's only add to your scariness, sir!!

People often say I'm on the brave side too!! But even me is scared!!

Scared!!

So scary——

Did he glare at me?, is he glaring at me?

Can he read my mind too?!

[he just normally look at him]

That's all Maki-chan!

Gahaha Makishima!!

Those two warm up to him so well...

Pg.5

But Fukushima is nearer than I thought

Here is on a southern side of the prefecture, it's right next to Ibaraki that our university is on

You were sleeping, weren't you, Makishima, gaha!

Kuha! No way. I was just nodding along while watching the scenes, sho!

Huh? How?

Eyes mask...

Pillow...

Fine! I had a good sleep, sho!!

So you took back what you said

Gahahah!! It's no problem anyway

Huh, really?

You even had earphones on too

That's the waves sound, sho!!

You the waves sound on?!

Pg.6

It wasn't some music?

Yeah!! I recorded it at Kamogawa in Chiba

You recorded it!? It's not a BGM or free sounds?!

And I have it on loop

It makes me feel like we were driving passed the ocean, sho

While sleeping, and having my brother driving

You are sleeping even in the dream?

Mind your seat belt

You can imagine the beach and falling asleep, highly recommend, sho

That's the most passionate about sleep recommendations

You don't really have any grateful to the driving

Pg.7

They are so fire up

When practice those two always go to mountain together too... So I don't really have chance to talk to him

I'm not sure if I can warm up to that guy within this race

Hey Toudou, did you hear about this?

Yesterday, that has been confirmed

You mean the last battle of university series race?

Yeah. The course collapsed a little during typhoon from some time ago. So the Toukai race is now cancelled.

In short

Pg.8

Today is the last race of this season

The last battle

Does that related to us in any way?

Right, we are a newly formed team so it doesn't directly relate to us

But for Yonan or Meiso

For the teams that need total point to compete

This is a turning point!!

Naturally they will give it their all into this race

Mihara-san from Yonan won TT(Time Trial) in Tochigi in September so they have points from that

And I heard from Fuku that this time, Tatezaki-san from Meiso—

Pg.9-10

Other than those 3

I've done preparing

Oh go warm up on the roller

He brings

Yes sir

Pg.11

Mountain second ace, Kanamori-san too

'aight!

Here we go

Pg.12

Who should we target?

The Tsukushiba uni has a 1st year team. There's this one guy in a red jersey that is fast

He earned second place at mount tsukuba, with only 10 second away from me

We were neck to neck until the last 500 m.

Really!? Only 10 seconds away from you, Tatezaki-san?

Alright I will target him

I saw there's one more person on that team's name list but we don't know yet if that new guy can climb or not

This is his first time participating in University series race

List

I didn't take a look at it. Tsukushiba has more member? Who could it be?

Pg.13

The name is Makishima Yusuku

You are right, I have never heard of that name in any university race

But that Toudou-kun brought him in so we can't let our guard down just yet

Well there's also a chance he might be better on flat hill too

Today's layout is flat hill 3 times then at the end it's 1000 m. of climbing

If anyone survives that

Pg.14

Then they must be super climber

Did you hear that, Juichi?

Yes...

By Makishima... It's that climber from Sohoku isn't it! This is a joke right...

No wonder he called you with such confidence

Right!

I don't know what magic did he use but since he will participate this is getting harder. That's crazy

Toudou!

Pg.15

Is doing something interesting!!

Hyuu. Then this isn't the time to be reassured just because Kanamori-san is here, don't you think Juichi

I heard he went oversea... Still he is going to ride in Japan...

Alongside that Toudou too..

No! This is before the race, and that's the opponents, stay calm Koutarou

Haha But why am I...

So excited to see those two ride

Pg.16

Well it's not relevant, sho

No, Makishima. The Kanamori-san from Meiso is second ace and always ride as the ace for other race. And now he's here!!

Meiso come here to seal the certain victory !!

Pg.17

I will bring you there

Make it second or third, I will stop them for you, sho

Let's go to the top of mountain, Jinpachi

Pg.18

Pg.1

I had a scary dream last night, sho

Hm

Pg.2

Ah

This isn't good

Damn— I really messed up tsk. I said something ridiculous, sho

"dream"? "Story from a dream"?

That's the most boring topic to talk about, sho!

"I was running a way from something gigantic when I heard a voice of my friend invite me to go together" something

Or "I was floating, like, 30 cm. above the floor" like that

To the listener it's just a whatever, that's how the "story from a dream" is. I'm so tired of myself ugh

My bad, just forget what I said

Pg.3

What happened in there, Makishima!!

Right! Do tell us the details, Maki-chan!!

Why are these two just jump on, sho—!!

Pg.4

No I meant like, the thing you saw when asleep, that thing, sho!

We know that, gaha!

Umhm the scary dream you saw last night!!

Right, it's a dream, sho. So it's just nonsense thing!!

What's the thing that scared you, Makishima!?

Huh!?

What!? Even you, Tadokoro Jin, don't know it!! It doesn't seem to be something like insect or any animals too

What are they...!?

They really into this, sho

They said the dream is exposing our deep psychology too!!

Right!!

And somehow they are so hyped

Pg.5

Calm down, calm down

This really is bad, I for real don't want to talk about it

Toudou...Tadokorocchi. you two got to calm down

This is just a boring story from a dream. Just a whatever thing that can't even make anyone crack a smile, sho!!

It won't change anything even if you hear it

Pg.6

I will decide that after I have listened to it!!

Umhm!! And that's the key of a small talk, Maki-chan!!

Damn it. these two are too positive —!!

Say it, Makishima!!

Let us hear it, Maki-chan!!

Ugh, uh their expectations get even higher

That makes me don't want to say it at all

Ugh the 3 minutes ago me, why did you say such stupid things, sho.

I really let it slipped, sho!!

Isn't there that thing, the document about the club, there are a lot I have to write, right? That's why we came to meet up at canteen, sho. Let's write that first, sho!!

They are not satisfied

Stuff like this can be done later!!

Ah

Pg.7

Wait Toudou, it's really a whatever story. It'd be better you don't hear it, sho!!

Maki-chan

I think of this moment as a precious thing

I think of it as miracle

Of course the race thing too

At first we are in different universities, you were in England and I'm in Japan

And then it came to be this

Sitting across the same table, drinking some tea, writing the documents. Talking about boring things and switching from emotions to emotions....

Pg.8-9

To me, this moment is as if a "dream", Maki-chan

Gaha!! That's true!!

Even if it's a boring story, I don't mind one bit

Because doing that and talking in the same space as you is already fulfilling

Kuha! Toudou...!!

What a passionate guy, sho!

Fine, I will tell you, sho. Out of blue, you, Toudou just drop by my room...

Me!?

Pg.10

I will be your roommate starting today!!

Roommate!?

You said that, sho. So I think

That's scary!!

Like that!

Pg.1

[First Aid Tent B]

It's... not

Not...yet

It's not... It's not over yet

My race is not yet!!

Pg.2

The next is—

Oh yeah, the traffic should be cleared now, they just reported all the athletes have cross the finished

Thank you so much

Midousuji!! Midousuji!!

He should be at the first aid tent near 4th supply station, half way up the hill

-Right now is the award ceremony

Are you alright... sorry.. I'm sorry!!

If I was more—

Hm, isn't there an athlete in this tent

It's not over yet... My..

Pg.3

Not... yet

Pg.4

That means even after retired, and the race has already ended, Midousuji still try to get on the bike

Yeah, aiming for the goal, by himself

What a spirit!! He push himself out of the bed..?

Yeah

But also that's very him, it's not like we ever understand the way he thinks—

That's true, I don't understand what's going on in his head at all but

It is pure... Because he is so pure like that

Pg.5

He put his all till the end

That's why I told Yama to support him

Yama, you need to be Midousuji's conscience

Eh

Maybe that's also too heavy for you— I'm sorry Yama, If only I

Pg.6

Look at that, Midousuji... it's the goal line

You can't hear me, huh

We have crossed the finished now, there. Finished...

That's enough. Your race for this year is ended.

So now

Pg.7

Just rest

You... don't need to try so hard anymore

Oh? Yama? Yeah, I came to the race. Yes he's with me near the goal line.

The school bus... Alright I will tell them too

Right, no it's fine

Is that so— you had it rough, I'm sure

Ishigaki-kun?

Is that his voice?

Pg.8

Thank you for you guys hard work too

Where am I ?

Right you guys did great, even got the second day number tag too right

Wouldn't soon enough you will win the total too, huh. I might be here and there but I did come to watch the goal

What about goal line

What happened to the race?

I was fighting with Unaizumi-kun in the rain....

Relay?

The relying power?

The power to rely?

What Ishigaki-kun said— the riddle words

Midousuji what you lack right now is

Pg.9

The power to rely on others

....Rely?

What even is that

Ah... No use thinking about it. I will

Forget about it soon enough anyway

The rain has...stop?

Dry wind to the highland—

Pg.10

I'm sorry, Midousuji— I keep giving painful thoughts

Oh did you see that Ishiyan. That girl just now was so cute. As I thought, there are a lot of cute girl here in Shibuya!

Things said from someone who already graduated like me probably sounds so wrong, since the team is depend on the current students...

So I stopped saying anything, but

3.5km. left Kyotofushimi is lining up with Sohoku #2. It's two of them!

Come! Midousuji!!

I regret doing that a little now

If only I

Pg.11

Had tell other more strongly to support you

Maybe you wont have to retire for the second time, something like that

There! "Mirimiru Good" !!

You sure you don't want to come too, Ishiyan!

Same day ticket... It's a little far back there are still some left, you know?

I'm good

Pg.12

Well you said you have something to do so I guess it can't be help

It's really nice to see you after a while

Right, the story of when Mizuta couldn't decide who to be the next captain is so funny

Hahaha

Do your best in Tokyo, Ishiyan!

Of course, you in Kyoto too!

Tell Tsuji for me too that when I go home during winter, let's all have a meal together!

Got it! What are you doing after this?

Pg.1

Falls, In Tokyo, Shibuya

This is one of the leading major stations in the capital, where the Tokyu Toyoko Line, Inokashira Line, and others arrive and depart. The Yamanote Line and Ginza Line also pass through, as does the Hanzomon Line.

As a source of culture, information, and fashion, it continues to change constantly

It is a place well known for sightseeing and business as well

Er... Then I turn left here, right

Oh it's actually to the right? Huh? Ah I'm sorry. Or is it left?

Sigh... It's really like a maze here. There are a lot of people too...

Eh...I don't see this board, where is it?

Pg.2-3

I sure get lost every time I'm in Shibuya!

Even when I have a map...

I never get lost in Kyoto, tho

There are too many turns here, lots of hill too.... And the buildings are so tall too...

Pretty sure this city is not for me, im the least fit, very confident about that!! Even when My university is in Tokyo..

But it's not time to be talking!! The time...

Patience, Koutarou, be patience and keep searching

For that store, that guy went through thing to meet up with me waiting!!

Pg.4

I'm coming in....

Is he here.. no!? Then where? Oh if they going for the classic vibe, this store does look like it has history.

Wait no, did I enter the wrong shop? He wouldn't be in a store like this, would he?

Excuse me—....

Retreat!!

Oh Ishiyan!!

Pg.5

It's been a while!

Ihara!!

Right— it's been quite some time!!

Good, I got the right store

You didn't change

Hm— so he is "Ishiyan"?

Yes yes

He's my friend and we rode together at Inter-High

Amazing—

Pg.6

Isn't he a decent guy, so well put together like this

Eh!?

Right, he would be popular

What's this all of sudden..

Going to Meiso University, came from Kyoto and now living alone, being in bicycle club doing sport....

I'll introduce him to friends of mine

Thank youu

Wha- what are you agreeing on your own, Ihara!?

That's Shizuku-san, she's a 3rd year of high school, doing part-time here. She said her grandmother is a regular here so she has connections to work here

So you have girl acquaintances back in Kyoto, right?

No no

Pg.7

She just came to serve this

Eh!?

Service!? He asked her name and how she gets to works here after just that!?

Ihara Tomoya, this guy. He is gifted with communication ability of a monster level!!

Now I remember seeing him talking so casually with the girls from other class back in high school too...!

Then you talking to her about me or...

Yeah I did. I told her that I'm waiting for a friend from Kyoto right now and then she was curious about what kind of person you are

Oh—

The ability to talk to anyone, and get close to anyone.... I should learn from him too

Sorry for the wait—

Pg.8

Right both you and Tsuji goes to college in Osaka so you sometimes run into eachother—

Oh— Ihara

Yea hi Akihisa, you come around this hour?

I go to Culinary School, you see my family owns a restaurant after all.

Lately I get to be in the shop's kitchen too

Ooh that's impressive

In high school, I thought it would be an easy business. But now that I really get into doing it , it is hard and a very busy one

Your dad looks so kind, though

He's strict when at home, when I told him I'm going for speciality school he immediately told me to train at his friend's store

Hearing stories about Kyoto like this

Haha

It make my heart sting again

Pg.9

"Run into eachother on a train" right, that makes me jealous....

I brought you some souvenir from Kyoto

Ooh really? The one from Kawaidou! Isn't that the best one!!

And did you hear from Kyofushi, Midousuji became captain now

Yeah, I heard it from Mizuta and Yama. They formally emailed me

Pg.10

This year summer Inter-High, you went to cheer for them didn't you?

How was it?

Putting his all into the ride, alone

Pg.1

The bike that lining up with Toudou's Ridley... What!? This model, this logo... The chipped on the gears

No no, no way that's true..!!

But no matter how I look at it...

It's exactly like Makishima's bike!!

It's Tadokoro, I'm coming in!!

Hey Toudou, the bike in front of the room—

Pg.2-3

Is....

Yo!

You seem to be doing well, sho, Tadokorocchi

Pg.4

Why are you here, Makishimaaa!!!

Kuha! Did I surprise you, sho, Tadokorocchi!! Actually I... Ouch ouchouch that's hurt, sho

You really are Makishima!!

Wait.. that's hurt

What are you doing here!? Why here!? Did you come back to Japan now!?

My legs!! My legs not touching the ground anymore, sho

So the bike in front of the room really is it huh, for real!!

Your welcome is too strong, sho

Pg.5

MAKISHIMA!! GAHAHA!!

N- WOAH my bones really going to break!!

What are you doing here? Is it term break right now? Is it any important day in your family?

cough cough

Welcome to Japan Gahahah

How long are you going to stay here?

First let me speak too, sho

Right, Toudou!!

This is perfect timing, Makishima do you still have time!? We have a race next week

Actually we were looking for

Pg.6

Second climber!!

Pg.7

And, eh!? Makishima... Wait

Now that I look again... You are wearing the jersey!?

Kuha

Because Toudou said "wear this!"

The Tsukushiba's... jersey

Looks like you finally pieced it together.

That's right, Tadokoro Jin

Really... This must be a joke... gaha... Oi!!

He did agree to it, in the next mountain race

Pg.8

We will be each other ally and ride on the same team!

Pg.9

Really, Makishima!!

I get to be your teammate once again and...

Yeah

Be in race..

Kuha

In the same race again!!

Ugh he caught me

Short period time studying abroad? For a month? At here!?

What, it's sister school with your uni in England!! Really!?

Yeah!!

If you're coming here, why not contacted me!

Eh?..... Well... mmm

Hmp you didn't knew

You came without knowing?!

I finished my practice, went to shower and then come to club room... To find Makishima in there, crazy story like that

But the even more crazy thing is!

The two that fought for the mountain line

Pg.10

On that day of Inter-High

Then earned first and second place will be riding on the same team.

What kind of cycling will this be, what kind of race will this be..!?

With that Makishima from Sohoku and Toudou from Hakone Academy!!

Damn! I can only imagine the miracle!!

[Tsukushiba University, the fourth dormitory]

Pg.1

It's unfamiliar to see you in black jersey

It feels like a lie, Maki-chan

Kuha! Is it to the point you wouldn't notice it's me, sho?

The slope down here has some potholes so look out fori t

Alright

Oh

Pg.2

To be with you

Did the problem about washing your clothes make it rough you mentioned during summer any better yet?

Not at all.. guess it's really because the water there is hard water. I did try lot of solutions

But compared it to here, it really does rough

Going down the same hill

I couldn't even imagine this when I climbed up

Haha But with dancing like that, of course I will notice

And we will ride in the same race after this

Jus thinking about it already make me feel like I can set a new record on this narrow peak

I will have to let Shuusaku and Tadokoro Jin know when I get back

Pg.3

That I have found ourselves a super climber!!

Pg.4

So now....

Toudou seems to be in extra good mood ....

The next race is called "mount Rokumizo race"

The first half has a lot of ups and downs route, and it gets more hard at the end

Alright

Did you take a look at the course map yet?

No...

I understand he probably excited to be in the same race as me

Because I, too, am excited...

I will look at it later, sho

But there's one thing I don't understand

The thing Toudou said on the peak

Pg.5

What does he mean by "allies"

That's not right Maki-chan, it's as allies

"Allies"? Is he going to give me water bottle and stuffs like that in the race?

Or he will sign me up in the race in Kinjou stead?

Maybe he will help show me around during this exchange student program?

No that would be so noisy, I will reject him in that case

On top of that, the last thing he said—

Pg.6

In that race, we will be wearing the same jersey

!? Same jersey ...?

What!?

What does that even means, sho!

We have been reunited for, like, 10 minutes

Does he like my black jersey? He wants to wear this in the race too??

It caught his eyes that much!?

I mean, I did choose this because I want to surprise him but like....

That serious eyes, and smug face!

He's waiting for a good response from me, sho! Fine! I will give one that can be interpreted in many ways

Pg.7

Just cover it up

Aiyah...

You can't hide your glad and confusion with that expression, Maki-chan!

I get you. I'm also so desperate even though I accept my excitement

I got through—!!

Let's go down together

Yeah! Let's go

Toudou is the type to just efficiently move on even if only himself understands it after all

Wahahah

I will just slowly piece it together

[they are waiting for the traffic]

Ah.. Toudou... About what we talked just now. You are going to sign me up for the race in Kinjou stead?

Pg.8

Of course, just leave it to me!!

Thanks a lot...!

Wahahah!!!

Wahahah, sho!!

I knew it, that's really what he meant

Oh just the entrance is fine, sho

I know my way from here, thanks, sho

Pg.9

By the way, Is your university also around here? How long it takes on the bike?

Do you not understand?

Don't make me laugh

Ah!

Pg.10

The same one as yours, the same Tsukushiba University

It's the same mark, sho!

You mentioned in the letter you founded a new club, sho, that means....

With the red jersey....?

Pg.11

It's here

I will show you the way to the club room

Wait

Hold on does this mean

The reason I feel like I have seen this place before, because it's in Toudou's picture!

The reason there's no road racing club in last year pamphlet, because you've just founded it this year!

And I

Pg.12

I came studying abroad at your university!?

It's still not that organised of a club room, though

Pg.13

This means

These past few days we might have walked past eachother without noticing

Damn

Everything connected to everything it kinda makes me sick, sho

All the little things that has been bothering me are slowly getting solved, sho!

That's why you know the details of my exchange student program so well, huh, Toudou

Pg.14

This one is yours, Maki-chan

The size probably is perfect

Red jersey

Pg.15

The sleeves...

It's decided, we will wear the same jersey

While being on the same team, participating in the same race

Me and you?

Race? What? The same?

Kuha! You've got to be kidding!

I now understand!!

So you meant this, huh, damn it

Pg.16-17

This is what you meant by "Allies", huh Jinpachi!!

That's right, Maki-chan!!

Pg.18

You are lying right... hold on..

This is unbelievable, sho

I'm looking forward to the next time we meet, I will wait for it

Right! I can't believe it too!! Maki-chan, Maki-chan, Maki-chan!!!

Are You and me really going to ride on the same team, sho!!

Pg.19

Huh!?

The bike that lining up with Toudou's Ridley... What!? This model, this logo... The chipped on the gears

No no, no way that's true..!!

But no matter how I look at it...

It's exactly like Makishima's bike!!

It's Tadokoro, I'm coming in!!

Pg.20

Yeah that's right, Fuku

I'm looking forward to the next race at mount Rokumizo

Pass it on to Tatezaki-san too

Sure

Pg.1

The promised you had made at the race in summer last year

Be more prepare, you idiots!!

You, who coming late once, climbed up with a smug face

A year later in summer

I hurriedly go as soon as I got the message

On that peak without a name

You turned around to meet me

Pg.2

And this time

Without any promise being made, on this narrow road of Tsukuba

With the jersey left waiting to be handed out. At the day like that

Pg.3

You just appear so nonchalantly!!

Pg.4-5

Maki-chan!!

Before my eyes

Pg.6

Red jersey...

....?

Why are you in a place like this, sho

Toudou!

Pg.7

Why are you here

In Japan, at this peak, at this moment

This moment

Is it real?

Yes It is, there's no way I would mistake your dancing

Nor that hair color

Or it could be an illusion, the illusion I created?

But then be it, if what happen before my eyes right now is created by some god then

Pg.8

I am endlessly grateful for this, God of Mountain!!

Pg.9

Toudou...

Maki-chan

Have you been doing well?

Yea...

Toudou..

No no no hold on, sho, why Toudou!? Why's he here, sho, oi oi

Why's he at this place!? A place like you will be when you are lost like that

I was thinking there's someone standing so arrogantly in the middle of the road

Ugh hes in the way

But then i can see it's a red jersey, on top of that it's Toudou!?

Pg.10

No way. There's no way such coincidence could happen, sho!!

Kuha! Is the jet lag still get to my head!?

It must be just some random guy walking in a red ish clothes and say something like "matcha" and my ears just heard it as "maki-chan" like that

That was close— I almost excitedly hug some random guy I don't know, sho

I really am crazy!!

There's a lot of guy looking like Toudou anyway [<- this is Makishima's level of remembering people]

Let's just ignore him and keep going

Pg.11

Oiiiiiiii!!! Come Onnnnn!!! Maki-chaaaaaan

Whoah a real one?!!

What are you even doing here, sho!

That's my line, Maki-chan! But also

You were just going to bike pass me right!? Even after I firmly locked our eyes and said something to you!!

Come on, I just, well... Maybe I mistook or something...

Mistook me?!

Pg.12

It's been a while

Pg.13

Jinpachi!

Kuha! Yeah!

I'm here to race you

Pg.14

Race!

Since you always write it at the end of the letter

That you want to ride beside me

I'm here to grant that, sho, from England.

With a reason like that...

Pg.15

With a reason like that, sho!

Kuha! My university hold a exchange program with the university around here

From Toal Wesson University, for short period of 1 month, to Tsukushiba University in Japan

How did he knows, sho!?

On top of that I can barely remember the tsuku-something university, and he can just say it easily!?

I just asked Kinjou, to apply for some race of university, sho!

Be glad, Toudou

That means if I went to student affair office that day, your name would be on there

We can be ride in the same race!

Pg.16

As each other opponent!

Is it really okay for a wish like this to be granted

Such thoughts that feel like trying to grasp the cloud

That's not right, Maki-chan

Pg.17

The thought I have had ever since school year

I just, want to be in the same university as Maki-chan, and ride a long side eachother

Then I will be going, too, to Meiso uni with you!! Wahahah

Huh!? You mean I can't sign up!?

As "allies"

In that race

Huh? Allies?

Maki-chan, you and me

Pg.18

We will be riding while wearing the same jersey!!

Pg.1

Maki-chan

I imagined something stupid

Of that last jersey left in the club room will be

Yours

Pg.2

Just now

When Tadokoro Jin told me about Takane-san

We should hand it to him

I realised

We don't have time

Hand him that last jersey

In me

Pg.3

There's still the stupid expectation left in me

It's so miserable. When Tadokoro Jin tell me to give Takane-san that jersey.

In that moment, my heart was against it like a child

Pg.4

Phew

Finally at the peak

The time is... In 14 mins, huh. This is not good

I meant to throw it away, still...

I will try this path today then

(the sign: mount shimeji, mount ashizuri)

Pg.5

If he's going to participate, tomorrow is the last day... Right

No stop thinking about that!

Now I need to focus on practicing

Pg.6

This route's road is narrow and has a lot of blind corner

But it's not bad

There also some stray sand blowing but, woah

At the peak of it, there's a place for paragliding

Pg.7-8

And a good scenery

The ridges are clear on both sides

Today's scene as well can be looking so far away

But

I completely forgot to set timer...

Whatever. Not like it can be a new record or something

Pg.9

At the next race, the mount Rokumizo race.... The one that won it would... certainly be Meiso

The ace being 3rd year, Tatezaki-san with Fuku, Shinkai and Ishigaki working as assistant

Pg.10

Their 2nd and 3rd years are also strong after all.

Hard to beat.... No

It would ended without us moving any limbs, again

Red one

Too bad, if only you have one more assistant. You can change this whole situation

This time it shows how much difference our team power are

So I'll look forward to the next battle

Pg.11

One more..."climber"... right

How about I just cancel this race, and just enjoy the university festival like Shuusaku said!!

No...

We found him, we did find him...

That one more assistant..

Let's fight with all the might

Bite the bullet

..... let's head back and then contact Takane-san.. yea

Pg.12

Kuha!

What's with this road

This narrow road with so many blind corners

Pg.13

Sands also blowing, woah

Kuha! But that's good, sho!

The road is sloping!

I will just climb it up!!

I heard of the wide road with ropeway but I got into the totally wrong one, sho!

Pg.14

Hm?

There's a person climbing up, fast...

Oh it's a motorbike maybe, right, being that fast on a bicycle isn't something common

The scenery here is nice, so a lot of riders come here to visit

What's that, is something wrong with the motorbike. That person moves so weird for a while now

They keeps

Pg.15

Swaying their body left and right!

Swaying body...?

No, no way

What are you in denial for, what are you even thinking, Toudou Jinpachi!!

You threw it away, no mistakes, you did throw it away

It wouldn't be possible

That guy, right now

Pg.16

Is in England right now!!

Ugh the tree cast shadow, I cannot see.

I have to confirm it

That must be a broken motorbike, that's why they keeps swaying

No way, that's definitely not him

That spider-guy I know

Pg.17

The spider-guy...

Pg.18

When he does the dancing, he moves both his body and bike swaying to the sides a lot

No, no way. It's must not be it

He shouldn't be here

This is Japan, it's mountain in tsukuba!!

So what's that!

What's that dancing I've seen for countless of time that it burned into my mind!!

The spider-guy I know

Pg.19-20

He climbs with his hair flew with winds and movement

And a smug face

Huh?

Pg.21

Haah!?

Maki..... chan..!!

□the fate pulls them to each other

Red jersey...

Toudou?

Pg.1

Japan, Ibaraki prefecture, Tsukubamori city. Tsukushiba university

In the fourth dormitory of campus, is a facility made for special accommodation

It's 3rd morning for Makishima Yusuke as an exchange student in Japan

Ugh I forgot to charge my phone, last night and I have class in the afternoon...

Didn't have a chance to contact Kinjou at all, sho!

Pg.2-3

I will definitely call him today!! For sure!! And then!

Have him put me in the race, sho!

They are imitating the Maiin Subway?!

Where did you even remember those sound...

From anime huh?

Pg.4

Ah this won't do

I meant to get rice for today breakfast but then I let my thoughts wandered

And got croissants, yogurt, bacon and egg then fruit, a full set...

I keep eating what I'm used to in England

But more importantly!!

Pg.5

[guide, Tanaka-san, a 3rd year student] is thinking

..... I wonder if Yusuke-san has a japanese relative. His japanese is so natural and fluent

Though sometimes it's weird [HEY] like how he end his sentence [...]

Pg.6

Is he half-japanese ah maybe a quarter! [Wrong] that's what she thinks

Oh well

I can barely find time to, sho

Makishima!!

Pg.7

What's wrong, so sudden. Yeah it's fine, I'm about to head to class.

I was with Arakita and Machimiya just now though.

Is that so, you are in Japan!?

Shizuoka prefecture, Kamiji city, Yonan university campus

The race!? Really? That's good!!

Yeah!! Yeah! Yea.....

So you are asking me to do everything for you huh... [Kinjou understand things fast]

Hahaha you worded it so bad, sho! Kuha!!

Don't kuha me!

Pg.8

Well I understood now, I think there's possibly a race opening for registration.

I will ask for advice from the senpais

On the other hand, doesn't your university have bicycle club?

Ah... Here in Ibara- uh Tochiki, the tsuku ∆[]§ [he mumble to cover up] university

Wouldn't asking people from your side to help be faster, did you try asking them?

Yeah well that can't be done. I checked it from last year pamphlet, sho

They have cycling club here but...

Pg.9

(on the shirt: Tsukushiba University, road racing club)

Pg.10-11

There's no road racing club!!

Let's go for a practice shall we, Tadokoro Jin!!

Yeah, Toudou!!

Right I was going to ask. About Takane-san, what do you think about him?

Hmm

We only have 2 weeks until the race, Takane-san also need to be prepared

If he's going to be participating in the next race, I think we should hurry and give him that

Pg.12

That last jersey left in our club room

I heard from Itokawa that you said it's "hard to apply to real thing"

But we lacks of numbers

He would be of help at least in some way isn't he

If he's going to be on our team then the registration and entry is due tomorrow!

Pg.13

For climbers, the climb is a sacred realm. I know how you feel. You don't want to hand out the jersey to someone with mediocre ability

Especially when it's the team you built yourself

I didn't mean to be pushy all of sudden. But

We don't have anymore time

Didn't Itokawa also say the same thing, I agree with him

Pg.14-15

Someone like "super climber" won't be so easy to find

Pg.16

Was that sound of bicycle... Two of them?

Already out of sight, huh

Pg.17

You are right— seem like I was being too stubborn

Did you not throw away all your hope yet...Toudou Jinpachi

After today's practice, let's do it. That jersey will be of Takane-san

Yeah the more people the better

Pg.18
