Over Drive

Mikoto buys food for upperclassmen and meets his crush Yuki who asks him to join the cycling club.

The episode opens with a brief flashforward showing Mikoto competing in the Tour de France before returning to the present. During a break, Mikoto uses his own funds to purchase food for several upperclassmen. After school, he encounters Yuki, his crush, who attempts to persuade him to join the cycling club. Although he feels flattered, Mikoto remains uncertain about the invitation. He then requests that she pose for a drawing. The situation escalates as Mikoto becomes overwhelmed, jumping onto a school desk, a gesture that reminds Yuki of her brother, Yousuke. Later, Yuki discards the painting by throwing it through a window because Mikoto had depicted her wearing a bikini.
