Ten housemates from Takeso-sho, a dormitory at Kwansei University, formed a mixed long-distance running team and, under the devil training of captain Kiyose Ashiko, proceeded from scratch to Hakone Ekiden, Japan's oldest long-distance running relay race.

So comfortable. The runway under my feet, the wind that broke in my face, belonged only to me in this instant. Just keep running, this is a world that only I can experience.
