Two kilometers from the finish line, Sakamichi receives his final orders from Imaizumi and is entrusted with winning the race. He steels his resolve and chases after Manami. In early spring before the Inter-High, Sakamichi and Manami bump into each other at the aquarium Team Sohoku visited on their way back from a race. There they promise to go all out against each other at the summer's Inter-High. When they end up racing for the finish line on the final day, despite their bewilderment and their teams' victories weighing upon them, they are delighted by their fated race against each other.
I'll be waiting for the moment we 
meet on our bikes at the Inter-High.
Ich warte darauf,
beim Inter High mitzufahren.
Esperaré a que nos encontremos
en el Interescolar.
Esperaré a que nos encontremos

Je t’attendrai à l’interlycée,
sur ma bécane.
Io continuerò ad aspettare.
Mal posso esperar para nossas bicicletas
se encontrarem no Intercolegial.
Буду ждать момента, когда мы
 сможем сразиться на чемпионате.
