Mikoto: I haven’t lost.

Yamato: Wait… wait a second.
You and I had a match.
The one where you ambushed me outside my house and rode to school.
Then you finished 2:15 behind me…
>
Mikoto: Well, that is true

Yamato: … I’m busy. You completely lost…
Mikoto: As expected, but what about it, huh?
>
Yamato: What?

Mikoto: Since then Yamato-kun hasn’t talked to me.

Page 136
Because of that, I’ve been acting a bit strangely since that race.
Sfx: clatter clatter
>
No matter what, I can’t calm down.
Sfx: taaaaa

I can’t even sleep at night.
>
A wild nature inside me has awoken.
I wonder if that’s the case?

Right now I’m not afraid of an armored warrior
Sfx: chyaaa!!

Or someone’s wife early in the afternoon.
Sfx:GAooo!!

Mikoto: Danger! It’s dangerous! I can sense it.
On the savanna there are predators who show the same face.

Terao: How are you, Shinozaki-kun? Nervous?
Finally only one week left until the race, right? You’re entering too, aren’t you?
Lots of cyclist from famous companies are entering, even though it’s a local race.

I’m scared.
Ever since I rode with Yamato-kun….
Things about the race…
Worrying…
Losing…
Going forward…

Terao: Here. This is yours.
This will be your first race ever, right?
I figured it would be a good idea for you to see what it might be like.
A Tour de France DVD.
>
Yousuke: Jiro (ジロ) and Velta (ヴェルタ？)
Genius, huh? What’s with this all of the sudden?
>
Mikoto: I shouldn’t have
>
Terao: Do you want a little advice too?
>
Mikoto: I shouldn’t have raced Yamato-kun.
>
I- I realized my weakness.
