[Slowing down is for suckers β a fact Michi seems to realize as he sends one person careening into another with a bewildered yelp, but will bowling over obstacles be enough?
Although Kouyuki mimics Michi's apology as he darts past the confused victim and their cushion, he doesn't relent. In fact, his pace quickens, as though the other boy's newfound sense of desperation is fueling his own tenacity. Giving up means losing. And losing means losing. He has to catch Michi! He will catch Michi! And he'll put that string of flowers around his neck like a trophy of his victory, too. Even if it means...
...no.
This is a race he wants to win on his own merit, not by utilizing dirty tricks or banking on festival goers to interfere. That's the only way it'll be really fun, and the only way to lessen the chance of any hard feelings on Michi's part when, finally, he finds himself flowered.
Which is looking more and more plausible as Kouyuki gains ground β until he rounds the last bend Michi took only to not have a visual on him in the crowd spread out through the market.
But this is fine, right? Hide-and-seek is fun, too.]
