Yamato: “Fukazawa Yousuke, huh? Not so impressive now…”
Sfx: smack - pashi

Some Guy: Yo- You tryin’ to be funny!? Why are you catching in Volleyball!?
Mikoto: Ah-.. No… I just zoned out a little…
SG: Liar!
You were looking at the girls!
Think we wouldn’t know loser!
>

>
Mikoto: aw owow…
Sfx: mukuri= sitting up

Page 71
Yamato: You okay…?
>
Mikoto: Huh!!
>
Oh, no, sorry, I just…
Yamato-kun is talking to me!
Umm, you always watch others play, don’t you!?
You never participate in PE do you? What do you think about- about bicycles?
>
AH aaa sorry, never mind, that didn’t make any sense.
In a club, making friends, I was thinking how it fun it is everyday….

Page 72
Yamato: Yeeeaaahh…
Sfx: kasshu kasshu
>
Mikoto: Kind of perverted finger movements!!
Sfx: don
>
Mikoto: Sorry, I lied.
The thing about the friends is a little different.
>
But I still think of them as comrades.

Page 73
Bu- But isn’t it harder to talk to people older than you?
But they’re not really like that.
>
Bicycle club is a lot of work.
Everyday there’s morning practice, where we ride for 5, 6 hours.　After that I’m so exhausted!

But… I still wonder if it’s time for club yet~~~ !
Yamato: 7 minutes 59 seconds…
12 second difference…
>
Fukazawa Yousuke, huh?
Not so impressive…

Page 74
I don’t want it ruined.
*Terao: It’s about time you start using cycling shoes—
Mikoto: What are “cycling” shoes?
Yousuke: You’ll do it from now on—
Yuki: Shinozaki, go to the convenience store for me.
>
Me and… Me and my friends—…!!
>
They’re relying on me. This is probably the first time…
Everything… I’ve finally found something that I can give it my all!
>
Yamato: You’ve … changed.
>
Mikoto: Ohh… sorry, this talk…
Yamato: I still don’t know you very well, but
>
you’ve changed.

Page 75
Mikoto: Th…thank you.
Yamato: Those obstacles in your way,
>
Defeat every single one.
>
Mikoto: Huh?
>
Yamato: You were thinking that.
>
Mikoro: yeah…

Sfx: gokuri- swallow

Cell phone: piroriro…
>
Yuki: Ye…
>
Yes—!
First one out—!
*thank you for the lunch
Ah, miss, another cream anmitsu please!
Maki: Ga~~~~h She won again—
>
Yuki: Ah, hello! Oh, Yousuke, nice timing.
Huh? Oh—never mind, just talking over here.
>
…huh?
What?
>
Shinozaki disappeared?

Page 77
Terao: That’s right! We haven’t seen him in three days. I tried going to the classroom, but they said they haven’t seen him since after PE the day before yesterday.

Hey- Yuki-chan, do you know anything about it?
>
Yuki: Know something?
Yousuke: He’s already quit.
>
Yuki: Maybe?
Oh, well you probably already know.
Sfx: bori bori
Once he gets like that he becomes a “super saiyan” and you don’t know what he might do.
Terao: Anything’s fine! Has he been acting strange lately?
Yuki: He’s always strange.
Terao: Well, what about three nights ago?
>
[three nights ago]
>
[someone showed up, right?]
>
[Then what happened?]
>
Oh! I got it!

Page 78
Yuki: At that slope by Maki’s place!
>
Mikoto: Ha----
No good at all…
Ha---…
At the beginning I can climb when putting it in a heavy gear.
But when I lose my momentum, I go slower than walking.
>
Ha Ha
>
But

Page 79
That person will come here--….
>
Yuki: That’s funny----…
Knowing him, I thought he’d definitely be here.
← To let Yuki ride, the two of them shared a bike
Yousuke ←idiot
>
Yuki: Speaking of, in this age it’s unbelievable he doesn’t have a cell phone.
Sfx: pura- flop
If we could call him, it’d be a one-shot.
>
Oh!
Cell phone: Pirururu—
Yuki: She called…
>
It’s Maki.
Perfect timing. Let’s listen!
Hello---

Page 80
Maki: Shinozaki?
I saw him around yesterday
Sfx: zucchiyaya

Bee
Yuki: AAh- don’t hang up yet—
>
YOU”RE KIDDING!
Hurry up and tell us how he was!
Was there anything strange!?
>
Maki: He didn’t seem any…
＊let me sing…
*maki: yuki you’re so loud
He was coming and going in front of our house, so
I got a little worried.
>
He looked pretty tired, but
He was able to climb that slope.
Well, about as fast as walking.
＞
I thought I’d say something while getting home from school, so I got closer
He said something

Page 81
Mikoto: I’m done here.
I’ll try… the next one
>
Yuki: That idiot--!
>
*Uwa— What’s up with that…
Maki: Yeah
Couldn’t quite tell though…
Yuki: I got it. Thanks Maki
>
Went…
To the next…
>
Ne….

Page 82
The next highest slope—!!!
>
Yuki: Well?
>
Here!?
No!!
>
Not here either!!!
>
*Seen this person?
Ahh- it’s a different person!!!
>
What about over there!?
I already looked.
>
This way.
>
*gasp gasp
no use
I’m dying
>
Yuki: He’s been seen, but we’ve looked all over…
Meaning he’s already climbed the slopes around here.
＞
All that’s left….
No way…
Right…?

Page 83
The highest mountain the area--!

Sfx: fura- sway
>
Mikoto: Yo Yousuke-san… Terao-san…
Why…
>
Terao: He’s severely dehydrated.
He’s hardly drank any water.
>
Mikoto: Please move… I still have to go.

Page 85
Smack..
>
*Terao-san?!
Terao: … Do you know how worried we all were?
>
It’s not good to ride so recklessly…
You want to ride for a long time yet, right..?
You seriously want to, right?
>
sfx：jiwa- tears welling
>
Yousuke: Don’t cry, shrimp!
Terao: Yousuke, go over there!
*Yousuke: Let me hit him!!!!
*Terao: He’s one of us--!!
Yuki: ….He’s not like that.

Page 86
Yuki: Shinozaki is
Not like that.
>
Yousuke: Eh?
>
Yuki: He…
Mikoto: A~~~~h don’t say it…
>
Terao: Continue.
>
Yuki: Three nights ago, we met a guy saying he was faster than you…
Mikoto: Take it back!
>
Yousuke-san won’t lose to you!
Take it back!
Shinozaki go!
Yuki: Shinozaki probably thought things would change if everyone knew.
Felt, maybe, things would fall apart.
>
So… he tried to beat him by himself…

Page 87
Shinozaki, as only he could, tried to protect this “team”…
>
Terao: ah…
>
Mikoto: ow!

Page 88
Yousuke: Stupid! That record is two years old.
I’m twice as fast now.
>
sfx： henya – exhausted
>
Mikoto: I’m relieved—
>
Yousuke-san really is amazing!
>
That guy didn’t come after all, so I can relax a little…
*if he came, what would I…
Yuki: Like I said, you guys are the only ones who come here on bikes!
>
Ah—The sun’s rising!
You’re kidding
Hey, what time is it!?
>
Nn?
Something’s over there…
