Ride 831: The ace's resolution
Pag 1
4: Gunma is...
Gunma was the first one among the four of them to create a chance to attack....
Pag 2
1: And now he's accelerating from the side!!
Pag 3
1: Gooo!!
2: Who's that guy!!
Forward... amazing, he's bending forward!?
3: You don't know!? Kiji, number 181.... that guy is the two-times MTB champion...
Huh, MTB!?
4: Two times!? You mean he's been winning since his first year!?
He always lowers his head when he attacks, it's a crouching style!!
Pag 4
2: He's coming!! Seriously!?
Is this the “three seconds” thing Bashi-san told me about!?
3: He lined up to us again with this speed!!
Pag 5
1: Three people are neck and neck
There are 80m left until the finish line!!
Pag 6
1: But
I won't let you get ahead!!
2: But
I won't yield!!
3: There's a 1m gap between them and Kyofushi!!
Pag 7
1: Mountain bike is a sport where you fight on your own
2: The pain, the frustration, you have to shoulder everything on your own during a race
3: Fear and loneliness are mixed in your heart
4: But that's a very natural thing
5: And it proves that “people” are kept alive by “nature”
Whenever I feel that, I always think that
Pag 8
1: “Living” isn't such an easy thing!!
Pag 10
1: 70m left until the finish line!!
2: Hakogaku!!
Gunma!
Run away, Kyofushi!!
Pag 11
1: 60m!!
2: Pedal on!!
Gooo!!
Kyofushi is still ahead!!
Pag 12
1: 50m left until the finish line!!
Pag 14
1: Imaizumi is coming!!
Imaizumi-kun!!
On... san!!
Imaizumi-saan!!
2: You taught me
Back then
3: These jerseys are complete when all six of them are together
4: You meant that being all together is strength!!
Pag 15
1: Entrust your heart
I'm shouldering the wishes and hearts everyone entrusted to me
2: Taking them to the finish line in the end, that's the ace's role!!
3: honestly, now thinking about Kinjou-san of that time, I'm wondering if he was shouldering all of this
4: He was really amazing
5: He had an impertinent first year like me, a show-off like Naruko, and someone who didn't know anything like Onoda
6: He did a great job at pulling us all together
7: But on the other hand... the reason we were able to run like that was that all these sharp-edged people
Pag 16
1: were facing the same direction!!
Pag 17
1: I know that
2: He taught me
3: Deliver those wishes
4: Teshima-san told me that, too
5: The steps of friends who believe honestly and move forward in the same direction, are a source of strength!!
11: And right now, us six
Pag 18
1: Are no doubt facing the same direction!!
3: Manami-san, who told me that I, a “second year” would become the “ace”
4: And Takadajou-san, who agreed to be my assist
Pag 19
1: And Bashi-san, who was against it
2: Don't do it. There's no such thing as a “second year ace” in Hakogaku's history
Refuse
3: Huh...
4: How many members do you think there are that are a year above you?
5: If you tell them that someone in a lower grade is the ace, they won't be happy
Not to mention that you're Shinkai-san's little brother. You're Manami's favourite and you also have bloodline on your side
6: Many of them won't find it funny
7: Hakogaku's tradition is more important than you
There are times when you're tormented by the stupid opinions of others
8: And from now on, you'll have to bear it without answering
Leave the ace role to third year and run however you like
Pag 20
1: Bashi-san
2: Yet you still became the ace
Be prepared that the only time when that will really be recognized....
3: by everyone
4: will be the moment you win the Inter High!!
