## Summary

On the practice race track, Tokai does a practice run and although her speed isn't up to par as it once was, Trainer states that he's glad she's running again.

Afterward, Trainer gives Tokai her training regimen, which is basically called out as all basics training, but she's alright with that. Tokai also offers to help Trainer with his surveillance work on 3 racers, Ticket, Palmer , and Biwa. During her "surveillance work" Tokai gathers information on, Rice, Mati, Nice whom she has a heart to heart with.

That afternoon, Tokai submits her "surveillance work" with "candid photos" to Trainer and then most of the members to Team Spica (except McQueen) arrives in the base. Tokai then thanks everyone for their help overcoming her insecurities with the special concert at the Fan Appreciation festival. At the race tracks, Tokai visits McQueen as she doe some practice laps. Later the two walk and talk together a bit about Tokai's day performing espionage work for Trainer. She then tries to say thank you to McQueen like she did to everyone else in Team Spica, but is left speechless. To hide her embarrassment, Tokai claims to have remembered that she had something to do and runs off in a hurry.

The following day, while walking to school Tokai notes how restless she is because of her sleepless night and runs into McQueen again. Once again, Tokai tries to tell McQueen thank you, but is unable to muster the courage to do so and the school bell rings in the process as well. Through out most of the day, Tokai reflects on her guilt for not being able to say thank you to McQueen and talks it over with Spe during lunch. Ultimately, it's decided that Tokai should buy a present for McQueen and she goes on a shopping trip with Spe. During it, Tokai runs into Kita and Sato both of whom are dressed as witches for Halloween. They spend some time with the two and during it Tokai has an epiphany of how the two girl's relationship is like McQueen and her's.

Tokai leaves an invitation underneath McQueen's dorm door for the two to spend Halloween together. McQueen dresses as a witch, while Tokai dresses as little Red Riding Hood. They have a great deal of fun together at the mall and by dusk sit on a bench by the riverside and talk about upcoming races that McQueen will be racing in. One of which, the Arima Kinen Grand Prix which is comprised of racers fans select to partake in. McQueen hopes that Tokai is able to race in the Arima Kinen, but Tokai thinks she won't be able to win it even if she's picked, but hopes that one day she'll be able to race in it. Finally opening up to McQueen, Tokai confesses that she looks up to McQueen and thanks her. As it so turns out, McQueen also looks up to Tokai and the two then decide to go out to eat more.
