勝者のみが立てる場所
――ウイナーズ・サークル。

向かう道すがらで、少女は目を瞠った。
望外の出会い。
憧れの存在が、目の前にいた。

並ぶものなき駿足に、
魅せられ、並び立とうと決めた過日。
専心が、今日の勝利を呼んだ。

万感の想いに声を失う少女。
夢うつつの歩みで近づくと
――憧れは、柔らかな笑みを浮かべた。

勝利の余韻が油断を呼んだか。
緩んだ帯を整えてくれる、手。
縮まる距離に、少女が頬を薄紅に染める。

咲き誇る大輪の隣
――小さな桜がそっと並び咲いていた。

The winner's circle.
The place where only those who prove victorious can stand.

As Sakura Chiyono O makes her way there, she's suddenly blindsided. Her idol, her greatest inspiration, stands before her.

She had marveled at her unparalleled speed and vowed one day that she would stand beside her. And now, through unwavering determination, victory calls Sakura Chiyono O's name.

At a loss for words, she takes careful steps forward as if she were in a trance. The racer who once inspired her smiles softly and reaches out to straighten out her sash.

The afterglow of her victory must have distracted Sakura Chiyono O enough to let it loosen. She blushes as the distance between the two of them shrinks.

Next to this proud and blooming flower, the bud of a tiny cherry blossom opens.
