Seems like everybody wants to run with Chihaya.

Chihaya's finally starting to see the full picture.

Maybe sitting still for 8 years wasn't all bad. They say growth comes through overcoming hardship, and given the simple, self-centered Chihaya, perhaps the sum total of events from the start of middle school to today were necessary.

I often think about what "could have been" if I had made a single different choice in life. I used to pine for that do-over, but after a couple decades, I've come go realize that I would not be Me, if I could go back and pick a different path. And even as things have been difficult...I've become resilient, and made connections and bonds as a direct result of what I was subjected to, and what I experienced.

And so I sorta see this in Chihaya. The good thing for her, of course, is that she's not quite looking back in that same way. Helps being simple, I guess, and the fact that you tend to have to run forward most of the time.

Hard to look back when you're chasing something, after all.

And with each revelation and reforged connection and link in the bonds with those around her. I believe Chihaya will find herself capable of persevering, as well.

And even if she didn't enjoy the last decade and a half of her life....it laid the groundwork for where she is today.

Eyes finally open, under that big blue sky, with the others at her side, and maybe even a Coke in hand.



Thanks for the TL.

I believe there's a small mistage on page 18, it should be "First and third runner, Rico".

Also, Rico got stuck with having to run the longest distance for her second post (if you compare to the shortcut Chihaya had to run from 2nd to 4th).

Really diggint the story so far. Thank you very much for the scanlation.

Thanks for the chapter :D

Although Ayase thanked Rico for running in her final race with her, Rico couldn't let go. She felt like because she wanted to see Mio, she dragged Ayase, Jun, and Momoka into a race they didn't enjoy...

This is why Rico blames Chihaya and calls Chihaya an idiot. This is why it is so important that Rico runs once again with all her club members. Unlike Chihaya, Rico struggles with the idea of what could have been.

"I have only ever thought about myself."

That was a surprisingly gentle wake-up call for Chihaya.

Also seeing Rico scream at the end was nice. A very sweet moment for an adult with responsibilities to realize they could still be passionate.

Thanks for the chapter!
