Ivan: Oh, hey Tills! It’s uh-.. it’s been a while.
Matilda: Uh-huh.
Ivan: Bruno’s out back if y’wanna come hang out, maybe we can talk or.. whatever.
Matilda: Sure.
Ivan: Y’know, if y’not feelin’ it anymore we can-…
Matilda: What?
Ivan: Nothin’, it’s just…
Matilda: Does this dress make me look fat?
Ivan: [scoffs] I ain’t answer-.. wait, are you pregnant?!
Matilda: Sure looks like it.
Ivan: Seriously?!
Matilda: Mhm.
[Ivan catches himself mere seconds before recklessly tackling Tilda, embracing her gently instead]
Ivan: Christ-.. why’d y’wait so long t’tell us?!
Matilda: [shrugs] I’m telling you now, aren’t I?
Ivan: [thickly] I thought you’d changed y’mind, I-…
Matilda: Don’t fucking cry about it.
[Ivan chokes out a laugh, attempting to swallow the lump in his throat]
Ivan: You’ve been t’the doctors, ain’tcha? What’d they say? I could’a-…
Matilda: This-.. this is why I didn’t tell you.
Ivan: Alright, okay-.. shit, I need a minute.
Matilda: Hey, uh-…
Bruno: I heard.
Matilda: [snorts] It’s wild how different you two are.
Bruno: Opposites attract, right?
Matilda: Clearly.
Bruno: It means a lot, y’know.. to both of us.
Matilda: I know.
Bruno: I’ll try n’ keep him off your back, but we’re here if you need anything.
[Matilda nods appreciatively, forcing a smile]
[Matilda’s hesitance doesn’t go unnoticed by Bruno, who swiftly finds himself wishing Ivan hadn’t run off. He’s not quite sure how to comfort her, but he figures a cuddle should do; albeit an awkward one]
Bruno: Thank you…

Ride 749: The last Straight Road*
(NdT.: same pun Kinaka always makes with his name and the word for straight road)
Pag 1
1: I....
3: Imaizumi-san!!
4: Go- good work!!
Good work!!
You were taking a long time for this lap
Pag 2
1: Yes, teh, I got a fl-fl-flat- my bike!!
Yessir!!
2: It's the tire!!
4: Only tires can get a flat
Ah- damn, yes, that's right
Right!!
6: I thought something like this might have happened, so I brought these
Replacement tubes, tire levers, and a pump. Use them
Pag 3
2: This is unusual!! I never thought Imaizumi-san was the attentive type – is it just for us!?
Yeah!! I thought first and second years were just not important to him....
3: You don't want to use the,?
We'll use them, thank you so much!!
4: You saved us, teh....!!
That's true
6: Ah, uhm... but..... Imaizumi-san
Earlier you said that
7: Sugimoto-san won't come”, what did you mean?
Pag 4
1: He retired
Pag 5
1: He's still displayed on the board, but
3: There's still time until midnight
If Sugimoto-kun....
4: Please leave the possibility open in case Sugimoto-kun wants to come back!!
5: Onoda insisted
6: Re... tired.....
Sugi..... moto-san....
Pag 6
1: He used up all his stamina and mental strength in his fight against Danchiku, and he was defeated
2: You didn't notice because you've been on the course the whole time
4: Ah... actually, when it got dark, Sugimoto-san and Danchiku-san passed us various times... teh
Huh!? That? So at that time-!?
5: You have no time to talk about unimportant things
As soon as you're done with the repairs, run, first years
6: Soon
Pag 7
1: Waa, ye-yes, teh, thank you for the tools
Yeah, there's still 40km
2: If we join our strengths....
Don't cooperate
5: Teh!?
7: From now on, you can't allow yourselves to run like friends
8: Huh....
Our “buddies” stickers.....!?
You have to fight
Pag 8
1: And win the last spot to be an Inter High member!!
Pag 9
1: Fa.... ight....
2: Against.... Kinaka-kun
3: Against.... Rokudai
4: 35km left!!
Gooo!! Kinakaa, Rokudaii!!
Do your best...!!
5: I feel like they'll be able to run the 1000km!!
Amazing!
Ah, but there was no distance between them just now?
Pag 10
1: Fight....
2: The spot as a regular in the two-times national champion, Sohoku....
3: I can't take it by just being friendly....!!
4: And also
5: There's Sugimoto-san's wish!!
Pag 11
1: Wa- wait, please, Imaizumi-san
But.... if in this training camp the condition to become the sixth regular was to finish the 1000km first....
2: Then why did Sugimoto-san and Danchiku-san race!?
4: I came here to give you a message from Sugimoto
5: I think, I think it's necessary, you know
Sohoku is a team that connect and support each other
6: Just like during our first year, you, Naruko, and Onoda, connected your wishes and aimed for the goal
7: And last year Kaburagi ran with Aoyagi-san and carried the team until the mountains on the third day
8: So I think we need it
9: Our third year Inter High members
Pag 12
1: Definitely need a “first year”!!
3: Even if he knew he was making his own situation worse, he thought about the best shape for the team would be
4: He accepted it, and fought
Pag 13
1: For the fifth place
3: Among the first years, those two are left, I look forward to see what they do!!
That's too much food
4: Danchiku probably understood it, too
That's why he fought with all his strength
6: Now you two have to run with the weight of those expectations on your back!!
7: Fight, against your opponent and against yourself!! Use all your strength
Pag 14
1: And pull to yourself that last jersey!!
2: Straaa-
Pag 15
1: Straight roaaad!!
2: - traight!!
3: …. ngh
Ugh.....
4: Kinaka-kun.....
5: Don't cry, Rokudai!!
Pag 16
1: What are you doing, oi!! I'll leave you behind like this!! I'll tear you off!!
If you give up, then it's lucky for me!!
2: My goal has always been the Inter High jersey!!
To get back at those senpai who made fun of me!!
3: To show it to the Onii-san who taught me how to ride bikes!!
So, for that....
6: So I'm telling you not to cry!!
Pag 17
1: But, Kinaka-kun....
It's that your “Straitgh road”, wasn't fast at all....!!
4: You knee? It's your knee, right?
Since when? Since a while ago?
5: Since when we were at about 800km
Pag 18
1: It's a race, Rokudai
2: You should have told me, teh
I didn't notice, teh!!
3: I'm such an incapable former manager, teh....
4: Since when I lost to you in the first years' race
6: I've been thinking that I would definitely not lose the next time we race
7: Even though the truth is that I don't really care about that anymore
So, once again...
Pag 19
1: It's a race, Rokudai!!
3: Let's do it, Rokudai!!
I can't, teh
4: Race me, pedal!!
I don't want to, teh....
5: Fight me!!
I won't pedal, teh
Pag 20
1: Because, if I fight you now, Kinaka-kun, I'll end up winning, teh
Pag 22
1: With that kindness of yours, support our senpai during the Inter High

Bart has been banned from every casino in Vegas due to his card counting abilities. It’s not like he even has to try to do it, it just happens. One of those things he off handedly notices when looking at everything around him. He doesn’t go out of his way to look at other peoples cards with his superspeed, he doesn’t actually believe in cheating, but it’s not like he can turn off his observational skills.
That being said, Kon trying to invite his buddy out for a wild night on the town is really difficult to do because he doesn’t know where Bart’s been banned from.
Kon: Pack your bags, we’re going to Vegas!
Bart: Ooo Vegas! …What’s in Vegas?
Kon: What isn’t in Vegas, Imp? There’s great sights, hot girls, delicious foods, fun casinos!
Bart, sighing dramatically: I can’t go into those.
Kon: what do you mean?
Bart: Apparently I’m on a ‘on sight’ list. All gambling districts know my face and kick me out the moment I step on the property.
Kon: … what??
Bart: I know right! I wasn’t even doing it on purpose! It’s not like I was actually in it to steal their money. I was under cover, helping Tim out on recon.
Kon: … right. So then, no Casino’s for you then. Strip club?
Bart: You know I don’t enjoy those. And I’m taken. The last time you took me to one I was mistaken for a dancer and dragged into the changing rooms.
Kon: You look great in fishnet.
Bart: Thank you.
Kon: okay, how about… a bar?
Bart: Neither of us can get drunk.
Kon: Ugh
Bart: What about that techno club? Dancing is easy, and fun.
Kon: Sensitive ears.
Bart: Ah. Nevermind then. I have some contacts in the music industry, I can get us in a concert Hall with backstage passes if there’s any good live shows going on.
Kon: Why do you have contacts in the music industry?
Bart: I was in a two person band in highschool and got scouted by this one dude. Long story.
Kon: The more I learn about your highschool days the more in awe I get.
Bart: ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
