I'm so grateful to know that there are still people who read my story and want me to update hehe~ Everyone please stay safe at home and please take care!!

Recap:

"Uh?!" They sounded in shock. "Heath-kun, Yuki-chan... What does that mean?" Hozumi asked. Heath and Yukihime turned to the second year. "Sorry, Hozumi. There's something we've haven't told you... or anyone." Heath apologised.

He then narrowed his eyes and added, "The real KGB incident."

-----⇩ Onward with the Story ⇩-----

The members of the Honan Stride Club gathered in Ayumu's hospital room, all having mixed emotions. Heath had placed Yukihime, whose eyes were glossed over in tears threatening to fall, next to Ayumu's bed Heath himself had taken a spot by the window, leaning forward and looking out the window before starting.

"Until last year, the Honan Stride Club had tons of members. Most of the regulars were third-year students." Heath started off. "Yuu had originally come in as the manager and backup runner because we had enough members at that time and the current captain after Keito-senpai left didn't accept Yuu as a runner." Yukihime had by that time calmed down enough to continue the flashback. "We didn't exactly have an official coach at that time. But when Dan-sensei officially became the coach for the team, he added Kyo-chan, Heath-kun and Tomoe-kun as regulars and occasionally me." She recalled.

-Flashback-

The three of them made the Honan Stride Club undefeated along with Yukihime who was a huge help to the team, and is more than just a manager to the team, providing the team with strategies and training regimes. She also manages to bring victories for the team when she ran for the team. She had already by that time made a name for herself as 'Wind's Snow'. But due to them feeling envious and irritated that second years had taken their place in the regulars, the third years started to drop out of the club one-by-one. Dan-sensei had easily accepted their resignation because he felt they were not taking the club seriously anymore.

Then the day came for the second match of the Trial Tour...

Originally Dan-sensei wanted Yukihime to be the relationer for the team but the remaining third years heavily protested, not wanting the relation position to be 'taken by a girl and another junior', making Dan-sensei relent. However, during the match itself, the third year relationer got tricked by the other relationer with a bluff. The opponent relationer had covered his mic and shouted in (clearly) fake panic, "Oh no, I'm late! Go now!". This caused the third year to panic in the heat of the match and call out for the runner, who was Kuga Kyosuke, to start.
