Ride 764: Dearest wish

Pag 1

1: The one thing the third year Onoda Sakamichi desires is....?

Pag 2

3: His dearest wish!!

4: Right!!

Pag 3

1: That's definitely Onoda's dearest wish

Pag 4

2: Do your beest

They're so fast!

They move the wind

The jerseys are so brightly colored

3: No no no no

4: That- that's not it

That's not-

Is Sohoku arguing over something!?

Pag 5

1: That- that was just the spur of the moment

I ended up just saying anything

2: That's not my dearest wish at all....

So- uhm

3: Please forget about it, everyone!!

4: No way!!

Yeah

Teh!!

Yep

Yeah

Pag 6

1: That must be our goal this year!! Our third victory in a row!!

Pag 7

1: Yessir!!

On!!

Yeah!!

2: The three day long stage is harsh and long, that's why everyone's strengths will be necessary!!

Yessir!!

3: If we can all unite our strengths and support each other as one...

4: The I'll be able to win brilliantly!! Yeah!!

Just like I did during the prefectural qualification!!

Ohhhh

Tch

Pag 8

1: I'll sprint desperately, Hotshot-san will accompany me, and I'll do a grand finishing dash, just like that day!!

Okay!! You've been saying it over and over again!!

2: You're really a guy who clings to the glory of the past

The prefectural qualification is connected to the Inter High, it's not in the past!!

You're the type of guy I hate the most when you get carried away

Naruko-san was amazing, teh!!

That day, yeah!!

Naruko-san!!

3: Sto-stop iit, you were both amazing that day

4: Come oon... we're in the middle of an important meeting

6: Now that I think about it

Onoda-san's....

7: This is all

Pag 9

1: Can I say one last thing?

2: I also think our goal must be a third consecutive victory

3: There's just one thing I'm curious about we still haven't asked

Onoda-san

5: What's your goal this year?

What are you running in the Inter High for?

6: When I asked you this last year during the first years' race

Pag 10

1: I want to report it

2: You said you wanted to report the victory to your senpai

3: And you

4: Accomplished that

5: Honestly, when I first heard that I thought “what is he talking about, that's such a small goal”

But that day, after the race, when I saw Onoda-san doing it

6: I was shaking

I thought from the bottom of my heart that it was amazing

Pag 11

1: I thought you were super cool

5: Wh- no no

That- I was just reporting, there's nothing cool about it at all, okay

Pag 12

1: So I want to know what your goal is this year

Please tell us what you're thinking about!!

2: Is it “I want to report to that senpai once again”!?

4: Crowning your third victory in a row as the captain!?

6: Is it the mountain's bib!? Is it winning a stage!?

Please tell us... your goal during the race...

7: or maybe for when the race is over!!

8: A.....

9: No no no

It's nothing- yes, it's nothing!!

Pag 13

1: Onoda's goal....

2: I see, what Onoda-kun wants to do....

3: Now that I think about it....

4: What is it!? You started saying it now, “a”!!

Is it “running as an assist”!?

5: Does it mean you don't want to bear the last heavy burden!?

No no no no, that's fine, if the situation calls for it I'll do my best

6: That's enough, Issa

7: There are things Onoda-san doesn't want to say too

No, if it can become motivation for the team then he should say it

Pag 14

1: Onoda-san's goal!!

2: But still, Issa!!

I'm telling you, anything is fine!!

Ah, uhm...

3: It's a really personal thing, so.... don't get your hopes up...

But.... that's... always been.... my dearest wish...

4: Dearest wish!!

5: If we run with all we have in this Inter High.... putting together all of our strengths and deliver our jersey to the finish line

6: If we get the best result....

Pag 15

1: No no, I really can't say more than this

3: Say it, everything's fine. I'm curious too

4: Ah.... if we get the best results.... I....

5: I want to reserve a room somewhere...

6: A room?

8: Prepare teacakes

9: Cakes!?

10: Ask for everyone's cooperation...

Pag 16

1: Gather five people

5: It's something I've been imagining.... since before... entering school in my first year.....

7: Even just for one day

8: Even just a few hours after school

Everyone will bring what they like

9: A.....

Oi.... don't tell me you mean.... you

Pag 17

1: I'm thinking of reviving the anime research club!!

Pag 18

5: No way!!

Pag 19

1: And then, there

2: I think I could call Makishima-san, who likes figures

I feel like you've misunderstood something here

3: And Midosuji-kun who likes anime

Would you be able to hold a conversation with him!?

4: Isn't that good!! The best goal!!

5: You'll gather five people in no time!!

6: Kakaka mine will be the first name you write down

7: Amazing

From England and Kyoto....!!

Pag 20

1: I don't really get it, but somehow that fired me up!!

2: That's Onoda-san's dearest wish!!

3: Ah

4: N-no, it's really nothing much, so I take it back...

Revive the anime club!!

Let's do it, for Onoda-san!!

I don't really know what an anime club does, but I'm in!!

Me too!!

5: Yeeah!!

Let's do it!!

Issa, calm down

Pag 21

2: Your goal is to “revive the anime research club even for just day”?

Oi oi, that's such a small

3: but splendid goal!!

4: You managed to unite the club's intentions as one with such bizarre words!!

5: You're really are an unpredictable guy!!

The plate will soon become green

“Real start”.... the real race will start!!

[yowamushi-pedal-imagines]

omg i'm so sorry!! yeah, Onoda getting rejected badly in general sounds great!!

RIP my heart, anon. Y U MAKE ME WRITE DIS???===

Despite not getting to realize his dreams of reviving the anime club, Onoda Sakamichi still managed to make life long friends in his cycling club and he even found a person or two in his other classes that liked anime. One in particular he had begun to develop feelings for - in fact, one could almost call it an infatuation. No matter what he would talk about, they would always end up in the conversation somehow. Just talking about them made him so happy and their friendship was even better.As it got to the point that he had been convinced (by Naruko no doubt) to confess to them. Saying it was easier than done. Onoda couldn’t even fathom asking this person out. How could he? He really liked them - like, liked them even! He just…Could he do such a thing?Mustering his courage, he finally did it. He poured all his feelings out into a confession letter. Now the hardest part: actually handing them the letter. Every time he saw them, he chickened out and instead just talked with them as if nothing was going on. It was their normal routine to talk about the different animes they watched over the weekend, the new and upcoming animes, and characters. It took him what felt like ages before he got the letter to them. Well, he didn’t actually personally hand the letter to them. He was too nervous. Instead, he left it in their locker. It seemed easier. Nerves seemed to be overwhelming him the rest of the week, wondering how they would reply. Onoda was constantly stuck between daydreaming about their relationship and the things they do and then being crippled by paralyzing fear. His other cycling club members tried to console him the best they could - Makishima being the worst. Only time would tell.Onoda had noticed that they had started to avoid him the more time went on and wondered if he had done or said something wrong. He couldn’t keep living like that and finally decided to confront them. It took almost all of his courage to do it. “A-ah, (Name),” his voice was shaking just as much as his hands. “Are-are you…avoiding me? Did I…say something…o-or do something wrong?”“Sakamichi-kun,” they said with a small smile, sighing. “No…and yes. I got your letter and I’ve been thinking about it a lot…” “Oh,” Onoda said.“I…don’t really like you like that. I never really did.” They began, scratching the side of their cheek. “Honestly, it’s flattering that you like me, I guess…but I just can’t reciprocate the same feelings. I don’t think we should be friends anymore either…” “W-why not…?” Onoda felt so horrible. It hurt so bad that they didn’t like him, but what struck the final blow was the fact that the person said they couldn’t even be friends. His chest ached and he clutched the fabric of his shirt, letting out shaky breaths. “Not even friends…anymore?”“Well,” they said, shrugging up their shoulders as they looked up to the ceiling, “I think you think I’m something I’m not…and that’s…How do I say this? Uhh,” they sighed loudly, “you think I’m this amazing person and you’re putting me up on the pedestal…it’s weird. I just thought it was fun to talk anime and whatever, but I didn’t want this…Please don’t talk to me anymore, Sakamichi. It’s embarrassing whenever you do that…”Oh. Onoda didn’t know how to process the information. They didn’t…want to be friends because of that? He wasn’t sure how to take it or even how to process it. When he loved people, he loved deeply and couldn’t help but elevate them up on a pedestal just because of how amazing they were. The fact that this person didn’t like that and got mad about it, he became very aware of how he talked to people and treated them. It was almost as if he was constantly walking on verbal eggshells. Everyone noticed and didn’t know how to help.He didn’t think he’d ever be the same after that.
