It has to be noted that historically

before Bakufuu tearing the short distance courses in Japan, there are no separation between Sprint and Mile race, they are classified as Short disciplines. Sakura Bakushin O only lose once on 1400m or shorter distance in his first Sprinters Stakes against Nishino Flower. North Flight on the other hand won all the races between 1600-1800m distances at the time.

This Mile Championship is the retirement for Flight. Both Bakushin and Flight trainers once discussed on them having children at that Mile Championship, which is very curious but stopped by the owner for fear the children will be too specialised on short distances.

Anyway, because these couples tearing the tracks of sprint for Bakushin and Mile for Flight, not letting each other win in their preferred distance, JRA eventually added more sprint and mile races. Bakushin actually has gotten a bit more stamina to run in Mile race properly, it’s just because Flight keeps winning even with Bakushin sometimes getting 2nd place in the same race.

very cute how they frame the build up to Bakushin realizing she has a rival in North Flight like a romance protag realizing they have a crush lol, what a fun read

thanks for the chapter!
I think this is more about desperate shipping goggles than any real intention. Especially after the recent game event that popularized the ship. I mean, this is a typical development for fateful rivals in spokon manga/anime.

She fell so hard and so quick lmao
She reacts this way not because she "fell in love," but because she was moved by the idea that she, as the winner, offered her her hand. You can see how this develops later in the chapter, , when she herself wins on the track and smugly offers her her hand herself.

she fell in love actually
You can have whatever ship headcanons you want, but as far as I remember, canonically they've always been nothing more than fateful rivals. Like a bunch of other umas rivals pairing in the franchise. She's not even her only significant rival.
Their rivalry actually only takes up a third of the volume to set up Bakushin as a character, after which we immediately switch to her rivalry with Lauriel.

Actually I asked the author and Baku and Flight make out sloppy style off panel.

What's really stupid is continuing to throw out the most obvious bait in the hopes that people will react even when they've clearly indicated they understand what you're doing. But okay, if you've already jumped to direct attacks so quickly, I'll just mute you and that's it. I won't even address it directly to you, because you restlessly check this thread for updates anyway.
