Tobenai kotori no you ni
Like a small bird that can't fly
Tsubasa wo atatamete ne
Try and beat your wings
Ashita wa Kiseki datte okoru yo
Miracles do happen tomorrow
Nozomi egaite ireba
If you draw out your wishes
Sora ga yobu
The sky will call
Battle Athletess
Great Athletic Meet
Komatta toki no kamidanomi toka
Your prayers to God when you are in trouble
Unmeisen wo nagemete itemo
Even if you look at the lines of fate
Yume chikatsukeru wake ja nai yo
You can't get closer to your dream
Hohoemi no namida oikakete
Chase the tears of a smile
Ano oosora ni akogare
Looking up to that open sky
Kaze to hitotsu ni nareba
If you become one with the wind
Ikutsu mo miete kuru sekai wo
Fly to the countless worlds you will see
Dare to issho ni tobou
Along with a companion
Koete ikou
And go beyond
Akari, from now on for what purpose will you run?
For what purpose?
I wonder why I came to the test.
I wonder why I am swimming.
For what purpose?
Oh yeah, it was Icchan who taught me this crawl wasn't it?
Do you plan on doing the triathalon with the doggy paddle?
That is the express rout to being a loosing dog.
One. Two.
Stay under correctly.
But the water is scary.
Yeah, pretty good Akari.
Let me go. Let me go.
If I don't go there I can't be number one. I can't be with Akari.
That which is on the other side
Just about ten minutes have passed since the final test was started.
A difference in power has quickly shown amongst the competitors who entered the sea all at once.
In the first event, who will it be who becomes the fastest mermaid on this stage of swimming.
With it this crowded I can't see ahead at all.
I can't take it anymore. I'll have to subdue them a bit.
What's this?!
There is a huge spray of water from in front of the top competitors.
What's this? A giant squid!
It's a giant black octopus!
I don't really know what happens, but a sudden phenomenon has crumbled the top group.
I'm spinning around!
I'm getting dizzy, it feels good.
The creatures of the sea also serve the Wong clan.
That's what I thought, but there are competitors swimming on without paying attention to it.
The pair of Jessie Gurtland and Ayla Veferascca Roznovsky.
Unbelievable, they are faster than the submarines.
Just what I would expect from Ayla. She intents to keep her position and challenge me before the goal.
Specimen number 54, given name Ayla Veferascca Roznovsky.
Her breeding pattern was lambda correct?
According our data so far she exhibits the best results thus far for this breeding pattern.
She doesn't seem any different.
Even if you knew that the blocks the specimen is playing with are ten times the normal weight.
Come out, comrade Ayla.
How is it?
I can't say it is more than we expected.
According to our simulations by age seventeen she will be equivalent to the Cosmo Beauty.
I'm counting on you, comrade Sergei.
Everything is for the country.
So you were in here?
My spirit is calm in the water.
I have only taught you in sports.
Just that in earnest.
Of course.
I must become the Cosmo Beauty and bring glory to our country.
I was born for that purpose alone.
I regret that.
Regret?
You have become a machine for athletics.
Is that wrong?
You do not know the true beauty of sports.
Then teach me.
That is impossible for me.
I cannot comprehend what you are saying today.
I suppose.
You can forget it.
Someday somebody will teach you.
The beauty of sports.
I pray for that.
That that day will come.
The triathalon is three events, to raise the speed at this stage is too wreak less.
Ayla?
Is that the limit of your power?
What?
Interesting. I will settle the score we couldn't settle back then right now.
She may have been spurred on by Ayla, but Jessie has put some fire into it.
She has raised the speed and is closing the gap.
The maidens of the sea are cutting through the water, aiming for the goal.
The leaders have come within one kilometer.
The top is Ayla Veferascca Roznovsky, second is Jessie Gurtland.
So it is that pair after all.
But I didn't think Ayla would be setting the pace.
Really.
Are you satisfied with that Ayla?
Are you resolute in your decision?
I hope you find what lays before that.
Akari. Akari. Akari.
Akari Kanzaki, there it is written.
But she is in last place. Is she OK dad?
That depends on her doesn't it?
I suppose.
She is fast. She is absurdly fast.
This is no time to be holding back for later. If I don't go at full power she will beat me.
Is Ayla that strong today?
Did I overexert myself?
All the cells of my body are screaming for oxygen.
But not yet... I can't stop yet.
Reach forward Ayla. More forward.
More forward.
Forward.
Has the high pace taken it's toll? Ayla has suddenly dropped speed.
Has the God of swimming let her go?
And Jessie Gurtland is challenging her for first from behind.
I got it.
Ayla.
Your decision remains the same?
Yes.
To tell the truth, I am surprised.
For you to take such an illogical action...
Please tell me, what has driven you to this?
To say it in one word, passion.
Passion?
Yes.
The joy and sadness I picked up from those I met here.
The trouble and hatred.
The passion that gives them their fire has started to move me.
Coach, are my actions wrong?
You are free now.
This is not an answer.
Well then, proceed.
This battle will not be a single victory for you.
You can find something else.
Something else?
Yes. You must find that by your own power.
This my opinion not as your coach, but as Sergei Galenstein.
To the single girl, Ayla Veferascca Roznovsky.
That's it.
I finally understand.
I can't believe it. Ayla has recovered her pace once again.
She's raising it. Her speed is different from before.
It can't be.
The burning Ayla has passed her.
She has passed Jessie Gurtland.
Two hundred meters until the goal of the first stage.
This passion that comes from the bottom of my heart.
This feeling carved out of people is our source of motivation.
I want to win.
Not for my country.
Not for the Cosmo Beauty, just...
For myself.
I can see it. On the other side of the goal.
The light that shines on the other side of victory.
That light is a freedom that cannot be restrained by anything.
I will decide for myself.
My own future.
Bravo.
I'll recover it in the bike race.
What are you doing?
Ayla?
Ayla Veferascca Roznovsky, withdrawn.
Withdrawn?
Entrant number 2, Ayla Veferascca Roznovsky, withdrawn.
Why are you withdrawing?
The match just began didn't it?
Hurry to the bikes. They will catch up.
Don't change the topic.
Why do you have to withdraw? Tell me the reason.
Because my country is gone.
What?
Yesterday, my country was annexed through corruption.
It was bought up.
Your country is gone?
Yes.
That can't be.
That has nothing to do with this.
A representative of the country that bought it was in the test.
In order to increase her chances of acceptance, my withdrawal was a condition.
But that...
I am not upset. I am not angry either.
No, I even feel happy.
In the very end, I was able to race you.
You taught me the enjoyment of sports, and of living.
Go now. If you let the leaders get much farther, it will be difficult even for you to catch them.
You say this is the end?
Stop kidding me.
A match finishes when you get to the goal.
I will not recognize this as the end.
Jessie.
I will hold this loss off until we meet again.
I look forward to it.
Have you found it Ayla?
Yes, I have seen the future.
I see.
Without even time to be surprised at the accident of Ayla, one of the favorites withdrawing the triathalon has entered the second stage.
Riding over Mt. Antarctica with its height of 1800 meters is truly a picnic in hell.
Even so our competitors care down the road like it is nothing.
Why?
I wonder why I don't withdraw?
What? What?
I don't really understand why, but in some explosive accident the leading group has crumbled.
I don't know what to say to those who would fall into a trap so easily.
I will take first place in the second stage.
I feel great!
Another victim for my trap has come. Switch on.
Tanya goes to number one with a bang!
Tanya.
Wait right there!
I won't wait.
Number one in Africa. Number one at the training school. Number one in space.
I promised my brother.
I will be number one everywhere!
Ahh, this is why I hate people with no sense of reality.
I guess there is no choice, I will give up on the top and settle for second.
Again?
This time it's Jessie?
This time for sure. With a little push.
This is the last straw.
The plan failed.
What kind of woman is she?
I guess I have to settle just aiming for third.
Why do I continue this lonely race?
Even though nobody cares if I win or lose.
Even if I try hard, it is all useless.
I can't go to the University Satellite.
I'm sorry Mom. I'm sorry Icchan.
I can't run alone. I don't want to be alone.
I'll withdraw.
If you run here, that's it.
You have to put more spirit into it. You're racing aren't you?
Iccha...
I came to see the triathalon.
I am the sports loving kids gallery.
If you are going to cheer, you have to go further ahead.
This is last place.
It has to be here. I came from Osaka to cheer for you after all.
From Osaka?
Here, stand up.
I'm staying here. I am withdrawing anyway.
If you can yell that loud you have plenty of energy left.
It doesn't matter, I am withdrawing. My bicycle won't move anymore.
There is no reason to stand up.
Nobody is here. Nothing will happen if I run.
I am alone.
That's not true. Look there.
Do it Akari-chan!
Just a little farther to the goal!
No time to be sitting around!
?
It's not the chicken spirit, it's the Japanese spirit you moron.
Go on!
Take first place!
How are you supposed to be racing for Icchan, go faster!
For Icchan?
Akari!
Let's go!
Akari!
One more!
Akari!
All right!
Akari!
Let's go!
Akari!
Here.
This is?
The broadcaster said there were lots of accidents.
I brought a spare.
Go ahead and use it.
Icchan's entry number.
This is...
Don't waste our cheering.
If you lose, there is somebody who will be sad.
Somebody who will be sad.
Run Akari.
Icchan.
Run!
OK!
Icchan.
I'll do my best. I won't run away.
I'll try my best until the very very end.
I see, that is Akari Kanzaki?
She is really my type.
I know why Sis likes her.
Ouch.
That hurts, Dad.
Brat's should hold their tounge.
But she's good.
That girl is good.
The leading entrants to the triathalon have passed the last marker of the second stage.
The top is Tanya Natdhipytadd.
Number one!
Jessie-sama!
I dedicate this victory to Ayla Veferascca Roznofsky who flew with me.
And then I line up with Tomoe Midou.
No, I will become Tomoe Midou herself.
Mom, I understand now. What it was you wanted to say.
I am not alone.
There are people who will cheer for me.
If I try my best. If I run, I will find something, right?
That isn't the end. There is something bigger before that.
There must be something that I don't know.
