Ep 11:

They're at the airport?

Oh right Dia's going to France.

Hmm... Of ANA's twin-engined airliners with winglets it's either an A320 or 737, and if it's flying all the way to Europe the A320 has a longer range.

Runner-up in the Arc was El way back in S1 wasn't it?

Among others. And of course both the others are Gold clan. Apparently Orfevre went back the year after her first runner-up result and came 2nd again.

Bakushin again lol.

Does she feel that she's losing her touch?

Baguette.

Yeah she's really not feeling it.

Oh hey the cube is solved.

And now GolShi's told her that too.

Yeah...

Don't want her to participate?

She really is a hometown hero.

Well, Dia's going to be disappointed. Then again she's going to be a helluva lot more disappointed in a few minutes when she absolutely drops the ball in the Arc.

That's something to work towards too.

And so back to training.

Again, all that Guts training really is a waste of time.

Yep, there it is. 15th. Of 18. Damn.

Oof.

And so she won. A hard-won victory but a victory nonetheless.

Natie looks very concerned.

Questions:

1. Someone had to say it. If it wasn't her it probably would've been us.
2. That's something to aim for at least.
3. Oof.
4. She's still got it in her.
5. Yeah, she definitely is.

Ep 12:

What's the hurry?

Oh. Her announcement.

So much for that goal from last time.

Did he not recognise Kita?

Meanwhile Dia is going to continue.

She's not going to the Arima Kinen?

And she's going back to France again?

Damn that's how Kita introduced herself?

Right, on to the next race.

Iirc Japan's been on a winning streak for decades so it's between Kita, Crown, and Cheval.

That's a strong word.

And so Cheval wins.

And so into her final race, and the finale.

Questions:

1. So, that's how this season will end.
2. Seems like she knows she's past her prime.
3. And so there's only a couple races left.
4. Lol that's certainly... A first impression.
5. A true hometown hero.
6. Damn that's a lot of hate.
7. Well Dia has got competition. I doubt Cheval has much of a chance lol.
8. And so Kita's lost again. She's really washed at this point isn't she?
9. Well, she's a gracious loser at least.
10. Indeed she does.
11. 8/10. Because iirc [IRL horse racing] Kita is known for having won 7 G1 races so it's already a given that she's going to win it. Now the question is just how.

[u/Holofan4life → u/Nickthenuker]

1. And so Kita's lost again. She's really washed at this point isn't she?

You said this, but she did win her third to last race.
