1
00:00:14,470 --> 00:00:16,210
Welcome back, Kaede.
2
00:00:18,970 --> 00:00:21,770
I'm finally back in Maebashi.
3
00:00:19,390 --> 00:00:19,990
4
00:00:19,390 --> 00:00:23,810
The 1:09PM Miracle
5
00:00:22,100 --> 00:00:25,140
A lot's been going on,
but things seem to have settled down.
6
00:00:25,140 --> 00:00:29,320
That just leaves the matter of my nephew.
And that's for me to handle.
7
00:00:29,570 --> 00:00:32,800
I have to imagine your parents
aren't thrilled.
8
00:00:32,800 --> 00:00:34,450
You'd be surprised.
9
00:00:34,450 --> 00:00:38,200
You and I both know my brother
was the prodigal son.
10
00:00:38,200 --> 00:00:43,340
It might make things awkward
when I visit them in the fall, though.
11
00:00:43,740 --> 00:00:46,690
After all, I was his surgeon.
12
00:00:46,690 --> 00:00:49,220
Are you seriously worried about that?
13
00:00:49,520 --> 00:00:51,070
That's unlike you.
14
00:00:51,410 --> 00:00:56,030
I already explained it all to them,
and it's not like they're stupid.
15
00:00:56,430 --> 00:00:59,230
They feel nothing but gratitude.
16
00:00:59,500 --> 00:01:04,960
You're a famous surgeon from
Gunma University Hospital. Stop being silly.
17
00:01:09,170 --> 00:01:11,570
So Niigata was a lot of fun, huh?
18
00:01:11,570 --> 00:01:13,360
It sure was.
19
00:01:13,650 --> 00:01:17,620
Usually, when I go to Grandma's house,
it's with my parents,
20
00:01:17,620 --> 00:01:20,370
so without them there,
it was totally different.
21
00:01:20,370 --> 00:01:23,850
In other words, you had Kanata-san
all to yourself for four whole days.
22
00:01:23,850 --> 00:01:27,380
Well, uh, technically, I guess?
23
00:01:27,890 --> 00:01:28,880
Sorry.
24
00:01:29,250 --> 00:01:32,010
Oh, I took a bunch of funny pictures.
25
00:01:32,410 --> 00:01:35,350
I snapped him sleeping,
and playing with a huge dragonfly.
26
00:01:35,350 --> 00:01:36,510
I'll show you later.
27
00:01:36,730 --> 00:01:38,000
For real?
28
00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:41,020
I don't care when my summer
ends now. Zero regrets.
29
00:01:41,360 --> 00:01:44,810
Don't say that. My summer's
been a total bust so far.
30
00:01:44,810 --> 00:01:47,570
Let's go to the beach, yeah?
It is summer, after all.
31
00:01:48,170 --> 00:01:51,070
There's just one thing
I'm worried about.
32
00:01:51,410 --> 00:01:54,560
I don't really like wearing
a swimsuit around other people.
33
00:01:54,560 --> 00:01:57,150
Excuse me? Aren't you an MFG Angel?
34
00:01:57,150 --> 00:02:00,950
Those costumes are
way more risqué than most swimsuits.
35
00:02:01,400 --> 00:02:05,210
Ask yourself: why do girls like us
change into swimsuits?
36
00:02:05,210 --> 00:02:07,380
It's not to show off to other people.
37
00:02:07,380 --> 00:02:11,340
We do it purely to get a suntan,
to go swimming, and to enjoy life!
38
00:02:11,340 --> 00:02:13,990
It's 100% a selfish act!
39
00:02:13,990 --> 00:02:16,590
Worrying about what
anyone else thinks is stupid!
40
00:02:16,940 --> 00:02:18,690
You're totally right.
41
00:02:19,760 --> 00:02:24,480
I don't often hear compelling
arguments from you, Wakana.
42
00:02:24,480 --> 00:02:25,830
It shows how right I am.
43
00:02:25,830 --> 00:02:28,640
You take charge on this one,
Ren, and pick a date.
44
00:02:28,640 --> 00:02:31,320
I'll invite Yuka, too,
so you invite Kanata-san.
45
00:02:31,320 --> 00:02:32,970
We're inviting Kanata?!
46
00:02:32,970 --> 00:02:34,450
Of course!
47
00:02:34,450 --> 00:02:37,820
Why do you think
I bought a cute swimsuit?
48
00:02:38,180 --> 00:02:41,830
So what you're saying
is you're a hypocrite.
49
00:02:42,450 --> 00:02:44,960
You wanted to show off all along.
50
00:02:46,080 --> 00:02:48,960
Niigata was that much fun, huh?
51
00:02:49,340 --> 00:02:51,260
Glad to hear it, Kanata.
52
00:02:51,260 --> 00:02:56,500
I had such a good time,
it all feels so surreal looking back.
53
00:02:56,950 --> 00:02:59,220
And the rice in Niigata is amazing.
54
00:03:00,070 --> 00:03:03,960
It was like every individual grain
glistened like jewelry.
55
00:03:03,960 --> 00:03:06,020
It had such a sweet aroma, too.
56
00:03:06,020 --> 00:03:10,270
I feel I may have gotten a glimpse
at the true depths of Japanese cuisine.
57
00:03:10,510 --> 00:03:14,900
That sounds impressive.
Even I've never eaten anything like that.
58
00:03:15,440 --> 00:03:18,240
Ren's grandmother was
so brilliant and lovely.
59
00:03:18,240 --> 00:03:22,440
Despite her size, she came across
as really big and strong.
60
00:03:23,520 --> 00:03:26,340
Everyone in Ren's family
is so kind and amazing.
61
00:03:26,810 --> 00:03:30,930
And with all of those people
around her to love her,
62
00:03:30,930 --> 00:03:33,700
it's no wonder Ren turned into
such a lovely young lady.
63
00:03:34,030 --> 00:03:39,130
That sure makes it sound like
you're in love with her, man.
64
00:03:39,500 --> 00:03:42,540
Even if she is still a bit spoiled.
65
00:03:42,540 --> 00:03:46,640
I know what you mean.
She'll just hit you out of the blue.
66
00:03:47,100 --> 00:03:49,140
Huh? It's Ren.
67
00:03:49,140 --> 00:03:50,030
Hello.
68
00:03:50,860 --> 00:03:52,480
Uh, swimming at the beach?
69
00:03:53,350 --> 00:03:56,030
You're inviting me? I'm not sure.
70
00:03:56,580 --> 00:04:02,280
I took four days off to go to Niigata,
so I can't take any more time off this week.
71
00:04:02,280 --> 00:04:04,560
They're going to the beach?
72
00:04:02,280 --> 00:04:05,450
Next week, maybe?
Wednesday or Friday would be fine.
73
00:04:05,910 --> 00:04:08,510
Okay, I'll plan for Wednesday.
74
00:04:08,510 --> 00:04:11,330
Anyway, Kanata, where are you?
At Ogatacchi's place?
75
00:04:11,720 --> 00:04:16,250
You can invite him, too.
It's better to have a few guys around.
76
00:04:16,250 --> 00:04:18,280
It'll keep the nanpa artists away.
77
00:04:19,040 --> 00:04:19,970
See ya.
78
00:04:21,470 --> 00:04:24,410
You're going to the beach with Ren-chan,
one of the Angels?!
79
00:04:24,410 --> 00:04:26,010
Personal space, Ogata-san.
80
00:04:26,010 --> 00:04:28,080
Ah, I'm so jealous!
81
00:04:28,080 --> 00:04:32,650
Some of her friends are coming, too,
so she asked me to invite you along.
82
00:04:32,650 --> 00:04:36,350
Say what?! I get to go, too?!
83
00:04:36,350 --> 00:04:41,650
Please come. I can barely even talk
to girls who aren't Ren.
84
00:04:41,980 --> 00:04:45,660
I might seem sociable at my job,
but that's just being in work mode.
85
00:04:45,900 --> 00:04:49,280
Of course I'll come. But why invite me?
86
00:04:49,280 --> 00:04:51,540
Something about "nanpa" artists.
87
00:04:51,990 --> 00:04:53,810
What's "nanpa," anyway?
88
00:04:53,810 --> 00:04:58,130
Well, it's when guys go up to girls
and it's obvious they only want one thing.
89
00:04:58,130 --> 00:05:00,050
It's a real playboy thing.
90
00:05:00,420 --> 00:05:04,800
I see. A girl hunt.
They do that in England, too.
91
00:05:05,490 --> 00:05:09,480
Going for a swim with
a bunch of nubile schoolgirls?
92
00:05:09,480 --> 00:05:12,060
Ah, it's so good to be alive!
93
00:05:12,060 --> 00:05:16,570
This might be the first
bittersweet summer of my entire life!
94
00:05:16,850 --> 00:05:22,530
Ah, Ogata-san! I think your life might be
in danger! That's an awful lot of blood!
95
00:05:25,650 --> 00:05:28,240
Honey! Honey, where are you?
96
00:05:28,480 --> 00:05:31,980
What is it? Did you
run home in this heat?
97
00:05:31,980 --> 00:05:34,120
I've got bad news.
98
00:05:34,410 --> 00:05:39,440
I just got a call from Kaede-san.
99
00:05:40,990 --> 00:05:46,950
Katagiri Ken died at Gunma's
university hospital just last month.
100
00:05:50,810 --> 00:05:52,050
Oh, no.
101
00:05:52,670 --> 00:05:55,400
What are we going to tell Kana-chan?
102
00:05:55,900 --> 00:06:01,140
It'll be tough, but I'll tell him
when he gets back.
103
00:06:14,930 --> 00:06:17,380
Um, it's just...
104
00:06:18,240 --> 00:06:22,260
My head is a mess.
I don't know what to think.
105
00:06:23,500 --> 00:06:28,710
I'm so sorry we weren't able
to track him down sooner.
106
00:06:29,150 --> 00:06:32,770
Forgive me, Kanata-kun.
I wasn't much help at all.
107
00:06:33,180 --> 00:06:37,410
That's not true. Please don't
say things like that, Papa Saionji.
108
00:06:38,320 --> 00:06:46,410
You did your best.
I'm truly grateful to you.
109
00:06:46,770 --> 00:06:48,220
Kanata.
110
00:06:48,220 --> 00:06:52,790
Your father had a much younger sister.
111
00:06:53,120 --> 00:06:57,730
Katagiri Kaede-san works at
the university hospital in Gunma.
112
00:06:58,170 --> 00:07:01,130
I guess that makes her your aunt.
113
00:07:01,500 --> 00:07:06,480
She said she'd like to talk with you.
114
00:07:07,230 --> 00:07:09,540
Will you go to Gunma to see her?
115
00:07:10,670 --> 00:07:15,540
I will. I'll go anywhere if it means
getting answers about my father.
116
00:07:20,710 --> 00:07:23,650
Are you going to be okay
on your own, Kana-chan?
117
00:07:23,910 --> 00:07:26,110
Papa could go with you if you want.
118
00:07:26,530 --> 00:07:29,250
No need to worry, Mama Mayuko.
119
00:07:29,590 --> 00:07:32,490
I appreciate the sentiment,
but I'll go on my own.
120
00:07:32,940 --> 00:07:35,490
Anyway, Papa Saionji has work,
121
00:07:35,490 --> 00:07:40,060
and you have art classes to teach.
You should both focus on those.
122
00:07:40,060 --> 00:07:42,880
That's right. Go to work, Dad.
123
00:07:43,360 --> 00:07:47,490
I'll go. I'll make the trip
to Gunma with Kanata.
124
00:07:47,490 --> 00:07:48,260
But...
125
00:07:48,600 --> 00:07:51,900
No, Ren might be perfect for this.
126
00:07:52,260 --> 00:07:53,670
Let's leave it to her.
127
00:07:54,170 --> 00:07:57,890
Do you mind Ren coming
along, Kanata-kun?
128
00:08:03,650 --> 00:08:07,440
I'm worried. I'm not sure how much help
Ren can actually offer him.
129
00:08:07,700 --> 00:08:10,040
That wouldn't be any different if I went.
130
00:08:10,480 --> 00:08:13,950
But having someone with him
who he trusts and can talk to...
131
00:08:14,190 --> 00:08:17,240
In that sense,
Ren might be the better choice.
132
00:08:17,870 --> 00:08:20,670
I know we like to think
of her as a child still,
133
00:08:20,930 --> 00:08:24,060
but before we realized it,
she's grown up quite a bit.
134
00:08:34,830 --> 00:08:38,000
It's nice to meet you. I'm Katagiri Kaede.
135
00:08:38,000 --> 00:08:41,020
You must be Kanata.
I could tell at a glance.
136
00:08:43,220 --> 00:08:47,350
Seeing you up close,
you look a lot like Katherine.
137
00:08:47,350 --> 00:08:51,280
But from a distance,
you looked exactly like my brother.
138
00:08:51,840 --> 00:08:57,410
When he was young, he had the same body
language and way of carrying himself.
139
00:08:58,430 --> 00:09:01,890
It's funny how blood ties work.
140
00:09:03,550 --> 00:09:06,650
Um, I'm Saionji Ren.
141
00:09:06,650 --> 00:09:08,550
I came with Kanata.
142
00:09:08,820 --> 00:09:12,800
Oh, it's nice to meet you.
You must be Saionji-san's daughter.
143
00:09:13,040 --> 00:09:15,070
What a cute companion you have.
144
00:09:17,150 --> 00:09:22,060
I'm so sorry. I know you came all this way,
but I don't have a lot of time.
145
00:09:22,060 --> 00:09:25,560
{\an8}Takasaki Station East Entrance
146
00:09:22,310 --> 00:09:24,400
Let's go talk at a café nearby.
147
00:09:26,700 --> 00:09:28,760
My brother had cancer.
148
00:09:28,760 --> 00:09:33,950
And by the time he was hospitalized,
it was too late for effective treatment.
149
00:09:34,270 --> 00:09:37,350
He was past the point of surgery
doing anything for him.
150
00:09:37,730 --> 00:09:43,040
Considering how advanced it was,
his symptoms must have been severe.
151
00:09:43,340 --> 00:09:46,560
But instead of listening
to the warnings from his body,
152
00:09:46,560 --> 00:09:48,850
he buried his head in his work.
153
00:09:49,270 --> 00:09:52,720
That's just how he was.
So stupidly stoic.
154
00:09:53,450 --> 00:09:56,320
What kind of work did my father do?
155
00:09:56,770 --> 00:09:59,420
He was a busshi.
Do you know what that is?
156
00:09:59,420 --> 00:10:03,230
They're artists who make statues
of Buddhist figures.
157
00:10:03,840 --> 00:10:06,230
I see. Impressive.
158
00:10:06,540 --> 00:10:11,350
My father didn't know
I was in Japan, did he?
159
00:10:12,390 --> 00:10:14,150
No, he did.
160
00:10:15,670 --> 00:10:16,870
I'm sorry.
161
00:10:17,090 --> 00:10:21,870
I tried more than once
to convince him to contact you,
162
00:10:22,130 --> 00:10:25,700
but he wouldn't listen.
163
00:10:26,090 --> 00:10:31,110
I think he didn't know what to say to you.
And I can understand why.
164
00:10:31,580 --> 00:10:35,410
He left when you were still young,
165
00:10:35,410 --> 00:10:39,340
and felt in no position
to call himself your father.
166
00:10:40,320 --> 00:10:43,830
But he still watched your races
and cheered you on.
167
00:10:43,830 --> 00:10:47,520
From the hospital bed
for the first and second races.
168
00:10:48,150 --> 00:10:54,590
But when qualifying for the third race
got underway, he was already in a coma.
169
00:10:55,710 --> 00:10:59,510
He actually passed away
on the day of the race.
170
00:11:01,270 --> 00:11:05,290
If you could, I'd like to know
the exact time my father died.
171
00:11:05,990 --> 00:11:12,400
It would've been at 1:09PM on July 16th.
172
00:11:13,900 --> 00:11:19,000
That was when I was in the middle
of the Manazuru race.
173
00:11:19,620 --> 00:11:21,990
At around the start of the third lap.
174
00:11:29,070 --> 00:11:30,400
Could it be?
175
00:11:31,230 --> 00:11:34,570
And if something happens and
you need help, I bet she'll be there.
176
00:11:38,450 --> 00:11:39,500
Kanata?
177
00:11:42,810 --> 00:11:46,950
It was my father I could feel back there.
178
00:11:48,190 --> 00:11:51,080
The one helping me during the race.
179
00:11:51,900 --> 00:11:53,920
Don't cry, Kanata.
180
00:11:55,370 --> 00:12:01,760
Um, did he leave any kind of message
or letter? Anything at all for Kanata?
181
00:12:02,380 --> 00:12:06,520
Not to my knowledge, no.
182
00:12:07,090 --> 00:12:09,940
I'm so sorry. My brother
treated you awfully.
183
00:12:15,570 --> 00:12:17,900
I'm glad I got to meet you.
184
00:12:18,320 --> 00:12:24,900
This might be presumptuous of me,
but would you be willing to meet my parents?
185
00:12:25,820 --> 00:12:27,830
I think they'd be thrilled,
186
00:12:27,830 --> 00:12:31,670
considering you're their
only grandchild at the moment.
187
00:12:32,240 --> 00:12:35,440
His ashes and memorial portrait
are at their house, too.
188
00:12:35,440 --> 00:12:38,190
If you lit incense for him,
I bet he'd rest easier.
189
00:12:39,170 --> 00:12:45,780
I'd like for you to see
some of his pieces, too.
190
00:12:52,410 --> 00:12:57,070
I can't bring myself
to ask him to forgive you.
191
00:12:57,570 --> 00:13:01,650
But I could sense
a deep sadness from that boy.
192
00:13:02,630 --> 00:13:05,790
That's something for you
to be proud about, Ken.
193
00:13:06,990 --> 00:13:11,590
Kanata-san doesn't resent you
the way you thought he would.
194
00:13:12,640 --> 00:13:17,250
Using the Katagiri family name
proves that more than anything.
195
00:13:19,100 --> 00:13:20,840
In movies or on TV,
196
00:13:21,680 --> 00:13:26,620
there's always some kind of final message
to the protagonist from the deceased.
197
00:13:27,420 --> 00:13:34,480
But that's just a convenient
dramatic device to make people cry.
198
00:13:35,120 --> 00:13:38,680
Despite knowing that,
I still wish it happened for real.
199
00:13:39,150 --> 00:13:43,600
Because Kanata came to Japan
to meet his dad.
200
00:13:44,460 --> 00:13:48,240
He was reaching out this whole time,
hoping to make contact.
201
00:13:50,210 --> 00:13:54,540
Both of my parents are gone.
202
00:13:55,580 --> 00:14:00,000
I guess I really am alone now.
203
00:14:00,000 --> 00:14:01,670
Don't say that.
204
00:14:01,670 --> 00:14:04,090
You're not alone, Kanata.
205
00:14:04,090 --> 00:14:08,510
We all love you.
Mom and Dad, in particular.
206
00:14:08,960 --> 00:14:10,070
And I do, too!
207
00:14:12,970 --> 00:14:18,060
I'm here for you!
I'll always be there for you!
208
00:14:18,800 --> 00:14:22,690
So please cheer up.
209
00:14:24,650 --> 00:14:27,680
Why is she so sad?
210
00:14:28,880 --> 00:14:32,770
And for my sake, not her own.
211
00:14:34,400 --> 00:14:36,420
But there's something so warm about it.
212
00:14:37,140 --> 00:14:44,200
Even though my shirt is wet with her tears,
it doesn't bother me at all.
213
00:14:45,390 --> 00:14:51,070
When I take a deep breath, I can smell
the sweet scent of her dark hair.
214
00:14:51,520 --> 00:14:53,480
It's almost enough
to catch in my throat.
215
00:14:54,340 --> 00:14:59,420
I'm really glad you're here
with me right now, Ren.
216
00:15:07,490 --> 00:15:08,920
MF Ghost.
217
00:15:10,280 --> 00:15:12,990
218
00:15:10,300 --> 00:15:12,990
Gunma Prefecture
Mount Akagi
219
00:15:26,660 --> 00:15:30,780
I wanna know what the difference
is between me and the three at the top.
220
00:15:30,780 --> 00:15:32,470
Please give me a hint, boss.
221
00:15:33,010 --> 00:15:36,230
Fair enough.
Hop in the passenger's seat, Sena.
222
00:15:36,890 --> 00:15:38,980
It's been a while,
but let's go for a ride.
223
00:15:40,240 --> 00:15:42,730
Hold onto this for me,
Matsumoto. Thanks.
224
00:15:45,520 --> 00:15:47,250
Close your eyes, Sena.
225
00:15:48,870 --> 00:15:52,000
But then I won't be able
to watch you drive, boss.
226
00:15:52,000 --> 00:15:53,280
Don't try to watch.
227
00:15:53,700 --> 00:15:57,370
I'm saying shut them because
visual information will get in the way.
228
00:15:57,680 --> 00:15:59,940
If you want to steal my technique,
229
00:15:59,940 --> 00:16:02,670
you need to feel it with
your whole body while focusing.
230
00:16:04,450 --> 00:16:08,010
I'm gonna show you
how to tackle the roads of Akagi.
231
00:16:18,530 --> 00:16:21,400
This is giving me serious déjà-vu.
232
00:16:21,690 --> 00:16:23,890
I've seen this play out
so many times before.
233
00:16:24,420 --> 00:16:28,400
Back then, it was Keisuke-san in the
passenger seat, next to Ryosuke-san.
234
00:16:33,630 --> 00:16:35,160
The right before the hairpin.
235
00:16:37,790 --> 00:16:41,710
Hitting the Akagi Downhill is so dull
by now, I might actually fall asleep.
236
00:16:47,590 --> 00:16:50,180
The way the momentum shifts
is so intense.
237
00:16:50,180 --> 00:16:54,230
But it goes from front to rear and left
to right so smoothly without openings.
238
00:16:56,090 --> 00:16:59,680
He's flooring it? At a time like this,
he's going all out?
239
00:17:00,120 --> 00:17:02,050
Is my boss some kind of freak?
240
00:17:02,390 --> 00:17:05,270
The speeds he's hitting,
the way he's using his tires...
241
00:17:06,110 --> 00:17:07,690
I could go for a meal.
242
00:17:07,910 --> 00:17:11,550
It's totally different.
We're nothing alike.
243
00:17:11,550 --> 00:17:15,190
I thought I'd inherited Gunma Pride,
and was proud to wear it,
244
00:17:15,190 --> 00:17:17,450
but this guy's on another level.
245
00:17:19,270 --> 00:17:23,120
I still have so much to learn.
And it makes me feel like a piece of crap.
246
00:17:26,670 --> 00:17:27,960
Do you see now, Sena?
247
00:17:27,960 --> 00:17:30,690
With rear wheel drive,
you have no choice but to floor it.
248
00:17:31,060 --> 00:17:32,900
The foundation of "Gunma Pride"
249
00:17:32,900 --> 00:17:36,300
is having the technical prowess
to manage that permanent lead foot.
250
00:17:36,750 --> 00:17:38,770
And in terms of downhill racing,
251
00:17:38,770 --> 00:17:41,680
Fujiwara Takumi would push it
even harder than I just did.
252
00:17:42,140 --> 00:17:45,840
The guy was a total head case,
with more than a few screws missing.
253
00:17:46,260 --> 00:17:48,690
And Katagiri Kanata takes after him.
254
00:17:49,290 --> 00:17:50,880
Leave a gap, and it's your funeral.
255
00:17:51,690 --> 00:17:56,700
Damn, boss. I'm still shaking
from how intense that was.
256
00:17:57,420 --> 00:18:00,860
I gotta incorporate this into my driving
while I've still got a feel for it.
257
00:18:01,280 --> 00:18:03,830
I'll make it mine, no matter what.
258
00:18:10,220 --> 00:18:14,740
Aw, man. I'm here visiting old
stomping grounds with the wife and kid.
259
00:18:14,740 --> 00:18:17,470
So what am I doing up
in the mountains so late at night?
260
00:18:19,190 --> 00:18:22,450
Hey, Matsumoto.
I don't know if you've heard yet,
261
00:18:22,850 --> 00:18:24,850
but my brother's getting married.
262
00:18:25,280 --> 00:18:29,150
Really? That's great news,
albeit a little sudden.
263
00:18:29,150 --> 00:18:30,600
I hadn't heard anything.
264
00:18:30,600 --> 00:18:33,530
He only told me about it today.
265
00:18:34,110 --> 00:18:37,900
This is the kind of big news that'll turn
the Gunma Connection on its head.
266
00:18:37,900 --> 00:18:39,890
People are gonna flip.
267
00:18:40,250 --> 00:18:45,620
Yeah. Nobody figured he'd do something
as pedestrian as get married.
268
00:18:46,650 --> 00:18:49,670
That other ditz got married last year, too.
269
00:18:50,070 --> 00:18:53,260
Guess we're all getting older.
270
00:18:53,730 --> 00:18:55,910
Even if we don't always act like it.
271
00:18:57,750 --> 00:19:04,480
There's a poll on this MFG fan site about
the most exciting moment of the race.
272
00:19:04,480 --> 00:19:06,290
For last week's Manazuru race,
273
00:19:06,290 --> 00:19:10,730
the top two moments are tied.
Isn't that something?
274
00:19:11,010 --> 00:19:14,390
I can't believe you ended up
winning that race, Michael.
275
00:19:14,390 --> 00:19:15,360
Halts Maul.
276
00:19:16,230 --> 00:19:20,620
Oh dear. Looks like someone's
in a bad mood. I wonder why.
277
00:19:21,020 --> 00:19:26,080
My aim was to run a race
that would be boring to watch,
278
00:19:26,080 --> 00:19:27,870
and have a predictable outcome.
279
00:19:28,400 --> 00:19:31,500
What is this? Why am I so frustrated?
280
00:19:32,130 --> 00:19:35,200
When I was battling Sawatari
and the young driver in the 86,
281
00:19:35,200 --> 00:19:39,640
I felt a kind of excitement
I'd never experienced before.
282
00:19:40,650 --> 00:19:43,740
It made me feel accomplished
for winning in MFG,
283
00:19:43,740 --> 00:19:46,000
a motorsport I'd never
taken seriously before.
284
00:19:46,700 --> 00:19:50,020
How am I supposed
to deal with these feelings?
285
00:19:52,860 --> 00:19:57,650
Ko-kun, you should swim, too.
The water's nice and cold.
286
00:19:59,210 --> 00:20:02,490
This is pretty ritzy, right?
A garden pool at a hotel in the city.
287
00:20:02,980 --> 00:20:07,890
I bet my friends will be so jealous.
I should post a pic and brag.
288
00:20:09,190 --> 00:20:13,540
Sana's hips are so hot.
She's a real find.
289
00:20:15,190 --> 00:20:20,730
What is it? Did you get turned on by
how good I look in my bikini, Ko-kun?
290
00:20:20,730 --> 00:20:21,970
Wanna head inside?
291
00:20:21,970 --> 00:20:26,210
Now, hang on. I'm not gonna
last the day if we start this early.
292
00:20:26,210 --> 00:20:28,600
After all, gotta finish what we start.
293
00:20:31,580 --> 00:20:36,520
But I'll admit, thinking about it
has kinda put me in the mood.
294
00:20:37,260 --> 00:20:38,610
Same here.
295
00:20:39,120 --> 00:20:41,350
Guess we should head inside.
296
00:20:43,210 --> 00:20:44,990
He was a busshi?
297
00:20:45,340 --> 00:20:49,620
The more I hear, the more a decision
like that sounds just like Ken.
298
00:20:50,180 --> 00:20:53,120
I met him in a sculpting class at art school,
299
00:20:53,120 --> 00:20:56,450
and his works always had
such intensity to them.
300
00:20:57,880 --> 00:21:01,800
Hey, Mom. There's something
I'm wondering about.
301
00:21:02,170 --> 00:21:04,800
I promised Wakana and some others
we'd go to the beach,
302
00:21:04,800 --> 00:21:07,140
and Kanata was supposed
to come, too...
303
00:21:07,440 --> 00:21:12,240
But after everything that's happened,
I don't think he'll be in the mood.
304
00:21:12,980 --> 00:21:15,350
Even I'm not. Not really.
305
00:21:16,100 --> 00:21:17,810
Do you think I should cancel it?
306
00:21:18,650 --> 00:21:21,610
I think you should go.
307
00:21:21,610 --> 00:21:23,410
How come?
308
00:21:23,710 --> 00:21:26,390
Kana-chan could use a change of pace.
309
00:21:26,390 --> 00:21:29,540
I honestly think you should drag him along.
310
00:21:29,890 --> 00:21:33,280
But I don't want to be a bother to him.
311
00:21:33,280 --> 00:21:34,850
He won't be bothered.
312
00:21:34,850 --> 00:21:38,210
You know full well
Kana-chan isn't like that.
313
00:21:38,910 --> 00:21:43,080
If you think it'll help him,
you should do it.
314
00:21:43,550 --> 00:21:45,650
I wonder.
315
00:21:46,100 --> 00:21:48,940
In that case, I'd better go buy a swimsuit.
316
00:21:52,640 --> 00:21:57,660
Coming to Japan may have been
a moment of destiny for me.
317
00:21:58,890 --> 00:22:04,070
When Mum died,
I lost all direction in life.
318
00:22:04,740 --> 00:22:09,830
I went into my shell,
and wallowed in my solitude.
319
00:22:10,300 --> 00:22:14,200
In my loneliness,
I may have just wanted attention.
320
00:22:14,930 --> 00:22:16,800
Like a spoiled child.
321
00:22:18,190 --> 00:22:21,340
I could've fallen into that same spiral
after what I learned.
322
00:22:21,620 --> 00:22:27,850
But that didn't happen, Mum.
Does that mean I've grown some?
323
00:22:28,350 --> 00:22:34,600
Here in Japan, where the people
are so kind, I met a girl named Ren.
324
00:22:35,090 --> 00:22:37,490
She pulled me back from the brink.
325
00:22:39,140 --> 00:22:41,750
I have something important
to tell you, Mum.
326
00:22:42,700 --> 00:22:45,360
Dad gave me a present.
327
00:22:46,270 --> 00:22:50,640
Can you believe it?
It was a miracle.
328
00:22:51,600 --> 00:22:55,560
Dad helped me out during a race.
329
00:22:56,690 --> 00:23:02,510
I may never get the chance
to speak with him now, but I'm still happy.
330
00:23:03,300 --> 00:23:07,440
Because for as short of a time as it was,
Daddy and I were in sync.
331
00:23:08,350 --> 00:23:12,120
And I just know I felt his warmth.
332
00:23:15,020 --> 00:23:19,830

00:23:19,830 --> 00:23:21,630
I hope you two get along this time.
334
00:23:32,550 --> 00:23:36,950
Next time, Turn 31: The End of Summer.
