Haruno Shiozaki is a girl who lives at a mountainside café and likes to ride on mopeds with her friends. The café soon hires a new waitress in the form of a lively Australian motorcyclist named Cynthia B. Rogers. As Haruno had always been a bit close minded about what she can and can't do, she becomes somewhat jealous of Cynthia's free way of life. As Cynthia starts to influence her friends, Haruno remains defiant about her own limitations. Having been told by Haruno's friends about how she used to be more optimistic, Cynthia decides to take Haruno on a nighttime ride to the beach, where she reminds her to strive and push her limits. As they finally reach the beach, Cynthia assures Haruno that it is okay to rely on others. | |||||

Later, Haruno learns that Cynthia will be soon be leaving for Australia. As Haruno mopes, Kageyama gives her a little encouragement. Haruno and the others then practice hard for their concert and give Cynthia a farewell performance. As Cynthia prepares to take her leave, Haruno makes a promise that she will some day come to see her. |
