Ep. 15: School Marathon Race and Yui's Disappearance

15

After summer break, students face a 5000 metres marathon that Yui dreads. The course view from Sawako's car fails to improve her mood. During the race, Yui becomes distracted, and fatigue sets in for all runners. They attempt various methods to stay motivated. Upon reaching a steep hill, the group realizes Yui is missing and begins searching. Ui deduces Yui is at an old lady's house after injuring her knee. In the final stretch, Yui fears no mochi for the last place finisher. This motivates everyone to sprint. Mio, unwilling to be last, trips and rolls extravagantly across the finish line. The group enjoys red bean soup and rice cakes while Sawako continues her search for Yui.
