The class rep waits for Manami at the finish line in the mountains in order to show her support. When Manami was distraught over losing to Sohoku at last year's Inter-High, she didn't know what to say to him. She became concerned about the way he practiced to the point of injuring himself and asked Toudou for advice, but he responded that the deep wounds Manami suffered wouldn't heal right away, and all she could do was watch over him. One year later, the class rep sensed Manami was finding an answer as the race approached.
When he rode with the third-years 
in their sendoff race...
Ob beim Verfolgungsrennen
mit den Drittklässlern …
Cuando corrió con los de tercero
en su carrera de despedida…
Cuando corrió con los de tercero
en su carrera de despedida…
Il me parlait le sourire aux lèvres
de la course d’adieu
Quando corse con quelli del terzo anno
nella loro gara d'addio...
Quando ele correu com os veteranos
na corrida de despedida...
Когда он ехал с третьегодками
 на их последней гонке...
