(RINKAI!)

(Episode 12: To The Future)
Mom, it's about time.

Hurry up. Everyone is waiting for you.

Come on. I'm on my way.

Mr. Tsubo, we're not in a hurry.

Ms. Sono, take your time.

They're coming to watch the game?

I only knew about it last night.

Because it was only decided this week.

A group reservation was canceled,
so the hotel suddenly became vacant.

Mom said we might as well
go and cheer for Izumi.

We were worried it might not be
appropriate for a player's family to come.

Uncle Tsubo has arranged us
a viewing room for family members.

Later we decided to
stay there for a night,

and invited Ms. Sono.

Today we'll first go to Enoshima
in Kamakura, then head to Hiratsuka.

I see.

As a daughter, I haven't done anything.

I just left it to you.

Aren't we going to watch your race?

Both of them are very happy.

Families are really valuable.

They will always support me.

Sorry to keep you waiting.

Sorry for the trouble.

Alright.

You can't take that with you.

Indeed.

Keep your composure.

Don't be led by the nose by opponents.
Stick to your own style

and give it your all.

Okay.

Kurume, please take care of Izumi.

Alright, I'll make sure
she arrives safely.

Then, let's set off.

Shonan Kamakura mini-trip
and Izumi's cheer tour, let's go!

What a long name.

Is Izumi really okay?

You've noticed it too?

I worried a bit when she stood out
in places other than the bicycle race.

As expected,
she has received a lot of criticism.

I've read some comments too.

I don't think it's serious.

But people always care about
that one or two bad comments.

If one is criticized for losing a game,

then one could still understand
and work harder.

It's indeed a confusing era.

She has to balance all these herself.

Rather than us convincing her,

we might as well leave it to Kurume.

Maybe she can give her some good advice.

Everyone is waiting for you.

No problem. Leave it to me.

I suddenly think I might
have made the wrong choice.

If I quit now,

Tamano would race
as the substitute in the Rookie Final.

Instead of racing like this,

it's better to give the chance to Tamano?

She took care of me
when I was in the training camp.

No, no. What am I thinking?

This would be too rude
to Tamano and others.

I'm neither injured nor sick.

But…

for me, it's horrible to go to the arena
and race in the eyes of the audience.

As expected…

Well, you're really shining right now.

Izumi, you're shining.

You're so cute and working so hard.

Naturally, people will say bad things
about you on the Internet.

Well, Kurume, I…

Let's hit the road.

The bicycle race arena is waiting for us.

This place isn't Hiratsuka.

Isn't this our practice court,
the Ito Hot Spring Bicycle Race Arena?

Weird, I got it wrong.

Kurume, you…

The reason I brought you here

is to let you be back to
where you started before you left.

It's the place where you watched
a bicycle race for the first time,

you rode a race bicycle
for the first time,

and your graduation commemorative game
was held.

Yes.

I have great affection for this place.

My supporters will pull banners for me.

Whether I lose or win,

there will always be
many people cheering me on.

But…

Now I'm a little afraid of people's gazes.

I know I'm thinking too much.

No one speaks those bad things
from the internet to my face.

Additionally, there aren't
that many negative comments.

I know all that.

But I still feel uneasy.

The most important thing is that we have
worked hard to participate in this race,

and yet I'm in this terrible
state of mind now.

I feel so sorry.

It makes me miserable.

It's all my fault.

I was so carried away
to make that big talk.

I was not modest enough.

I should have put my heart into the game.

I'm sorry.

I always have high expectations for you.

I want you to become stronger

to catch up with us soon.

But I can't even say anything
to cheer you up at this critical moment.

Izumi, you are very modest.
It's not your fault.

You're just not
as experienced as Hiratsuka.

And she knows it, which is
why she recognizes your abilities.

Kurume…

It doesn't feel good to be spoken ill of.

Although it's just a very few of people,
we just can't ignore what they say,

which makes us feel uneasy.

However,

if we only care about the opinions
of that very small part of people,

then it's not fair
to the majority of people

who support us.

We should always look on the bright side,

acknowledging and cherishing

those who support and encourage us.

We are cyclists.

We should use our achievements
to repay everyone's love for us.

It's easy to shut up the haters.

The audience will buy
betting tickets, anyway.

In the end, they're only going to suffer.

Is that so?

But what if the people who said bad things
about me don't buy the betting tickets?

Then ignore them!

-Stop, stop, I can't take it anymore!
-Tickle…

I can't take it.

You're good at tickling.

Remu couldn't take this
when she was little.

Did Tachikawa also try this?

Alright.

We should get going.

Okay.

Izumi.

Are you going to Hiratsuka now?

Good luck!

I can't be there,

but I will be rooting for you
from here tomorrow.

You must win the Rookie Final!

It feels so good.

Thank you all.

I, Ito Izumi, will do my best!

Go for it!

By the way,

do you know what Mr, Tsubo's nickname was?

TO PLAYERS: NON-PLAYERS STOP HERE
Uncle Tsubo?

I don't know.

Carpe diem Tsubonosuke.

So happy, so happy!

Izumi, sure win!

Can God handle it?

SHONAN BANK
Thank you very much.

I'll be sitting around
in the studio tomorrow.

Go for it!

Alright.

SHONAN BANK

The day has finally come.

This is the Hiratsuka Bicycle Race Arena.

The new generation of women players
have gathered here.

The Rookie Final is about to start.

RINKAI LEAGUE ROOKIE FINAL

HIRATSUKA
Our guests today are

the current queen, Kurume Tsutsuji,

and the Rinkai League's
rookie representatives, Hiroshima Renmi.

Hello everyone.

Hello everyone.

Miss Kurume, today's Rookie Final

has really received a lot of attention.

It was supposed to be a small game.

It is their own efforts and popularity
that make this game get so much attention.

First of all,
this is worthy of recognition.

-Indeed.
-She got carried away.

Kurume said she's got Izumi
back on her feet. I doubt it.

I think she did.

I just watched the pre-race interview
and Izumi was in good shape.

Next, Miss Hiroshima,

many of the players in this race
are your peers.

Can you share some interesting stories
from the training camp with us?

Sure, we do have a lot of memories.

For example…

Now, the players are coming out
for their warm-up.

Miss Hiroshima,
we'll continue our chat later.

Alright.

The audience is cheering for us.

ITO IZUMI, STAR OF ITO, YOU CAN DO IT!

Everyone is cheering
for their favorite players.

That's why we can race on the track,

striving hard and
competing against each other.

I don't want to lose.

Today's 12th race,

Rinkai League Rookie Final,

is about to start.

-Finally!
-Finally!

Finally!

Finally.

It's starting.

The race starts.

Who will take the lead first?

No. 5, Nagoya.

If I want to win, I don't need to hesitate

and have to rush to the front actively!

I need to conserve my energy first.

I can't beat these guys
without planning and tactics.

Honestly, with my leg strength, the odds
of beating them head-on are slim.

I have to wait for the chance,

even the smallest one.

Although there's some hesitation…

between Izumi and Hiratsuka, I'd choose
Hiratsuka as a draft partner.

It's critical.

This time, I need to
give my best performance.

At this moment,
Ito has overtaken Hiratsuka.

Miss Kurume, what do you think
Hirazuka's purpose is?

It's not appropriate
to be in front all the time.

I think she wants to observe Ito's action.

Izumi has the ability
to observe others' thoughts, right?

She should be able to
predict Hiratsuka's actions.

Hiratsuka won't allow her
to succeed twice.

Izumi knows this,
and that's why she chose that position.

Next comes the second lap, where the riders
come to the corner after the back stretch.

The queue remains unchanged.

No. 4 Hiratsuka,
who's receiving a lot of attention,

I wonder what performance
she will put on in the upcoming race.

Miss Hiroshima, how do you think
Hiratsuka will respond?

In terms of strength, she's stronger.

So she probably won't be
in a rush to overtake,

-while, she'll wait and see.
-Hiratsuka has already launched her offensive.

-Eh?
-Pfft.

Hiratsuka has accelerated already?

I can't even move now.

The pressure suddenly hits.

Is Izumi okay in that position?

She has room to move now.

Hiratsuka wants to go head-to-head
with Izumi with one lap left before the finish.

This indicates she's confident
in her own strength.

In this situation,

it takes a lot of leg work.

But now I have to keep up.

I can't win if I don't overtake.

Has she slowed down?

She hasn't moved to the inside.

What to do?

Although it's very tired, I must persist.

Overtake from here!

Right, Midori. Right there, right there!

I want to win and then get into
the international team to improve myself.

As the daughter of Maebashi Gunma,

I want to live up
to my father's reputation.

Nana?

-She's caught up already?
-So fast!

There! The ones behind are catching up!

Half a lap to go,
the leader is Maebashi Midori.

I've discarded my dignity,
earning points all the way up to now.

How could I lose easily?

If I give up now, I'll just
be repeating the same mistake!

I don't hesitate anymore.

Darn!

This is my place.

Here lies the path I want to take.

I got here with the help
of Kuma and Kanonji!

I must persist!

I can't lose. I don't want to lose.

I represent L13th, my peers.

Don't be pressured.

Just ride in your own style.

That's enough.

No, no, Kan.

Everyone puts their hopes on me.

Otherwise I can't fight these monsters!

Darn!

Has she shaken them off?

Even if you've lost 99 times,

if you win the most important one,

you'll be in the spotlight.

I really want to win this race.

Her stamina has already exceeded limit!

She is really amazing!

I want to win. I want to win.

I want to be the top more than anyone,
but I'm not doing enough.

Izumi!

Ito is catching up!

It's time for the final showdown!

I can see and feel everyone's intentions,

and the passion
that fills the bicycle race arena!

-Izumi!
-Izumi!

I am ordinary and unremarkable,

lacking in both strength and experience.

I'm just an ordinary girl,
an ordinary player.

I need someone to support me,
so I can keep riding.

The more people support me,

the harder I can work,
and the stronger I become.

ITO IZUMI, STAR OF ITO, YOU CAN DO IT!
ITO IZUMI, SURE WIN!

To meet the expectations
of those who support me,

I have to keep on!

Nana!

Izumi!

Izumi!

L14!

It's so intense,
hard to distinguish the winner!

Will the winner go to
Hiratsuka Nana or Ito Izumi?

The 3rd, the 4rth,
even the 7nth place are all very close.

12TH RACE FINAL RESULT
The final result.

First place goes to No. 4, Hiratsuka Nana.

Hiratsuka Nana won the Rookie Final!

What a wonderful race!

Thank you.

Midori, you were so close. Well done!

SHONAN BANK
Thank you.

I doubted you to get her back on her feet.

It's nothing.
In fact, thanks to the supporters

in the Ito Hot Spring Bicycle Race Arena.

But seeing how amazing
she was in the race,

I felt ashamed.

Without your push from behind,

I would have never considered
setting Izumi on this path.

Determination.

It's because of this word from you,

I and she found the motivation

to seriously engage in the bicycle race.

With the help of Izumi
and other young generations,

we'll make the Rinkai League better.

Never again will it be like
the women's bicycle race in your days.

How's that?

Am I right?

You got carried away.

Sorry to keep you waiting.

As expected, Shizuoka doesn't come.

She said she just lost a race, so she
doesn't want to gather with people of L14.

She really is stubborn.

But she had a smile on her face.

Where is Midori?

She should be undergoing
an international team call-up.

The director and Tachikawa
have come to watch as well.

Really?

She'll get better again.

After all, she receives
guidance from her father.

But, why don't they look for you?

You're so impressive.

Aren't you interested in competition?

No, I am not.

Kurume once said,

Izumi can only grow through bicycle race.

You need to be cheered by the crowd

in the various bicycle race arenas
to receive the encouragement.

This is Ito Izumi's style.

Maybe that's right.

So while we congratulate
or regret for Hiratsuka Nana's victory

in the Rookie Final,

thank you.

Thank you.

Yay!

Right, I have something
I want to say to you after I won.

Ito Izumi.

Yes.

You are not that great.

I do have some strength!

Okay.

ITO HOT SPRING BICYCLE RACE
One year after debut,

we are no longer rookies.

Next, we will aim for Kurume and others.

It won't be easy to keep up with them.

But I will definitely do it.

And one day,

I will stand shoulder to shoulder
with them, and even surpass them.

I am a cyclist, Ito Izumi.,

affiliated with the L14, Shizuoka.

My style is free and easy.

My favorite thing is bicycles!

To the future!
