Spring arrives, and Ryo becomes a second-year. His class is selecting committee members, but nobody volunteers to take on the burdensome responsibilities of the recreation committee. Ryo reluctantly accepts the job so the class can move forward. He holds a meeting to plan a class party, but his classmates are unenthusiastic. Ryo does his best to make the party a success despite the trouble they're giving him. Meanwhile, Yokokawa has troubles of his own. The badminton team is experiencing its own problems.
He's been eagerly waiting for someone 
to join him at the top of his high mountain.
كان ينتظر بلهفة أن ينضمّ إليه أحدهم 
.في قمة جبله الشاهق
Als stünde er auf ’nem hohen Berg
und würde nur warten, dass du aufholst.
Ça fait un bail qu’il t’attend,
perché au sommet de sa montagne.
Non vede l'ora di incontrare qualcuno
sulla cima della sua montagna.
Ele está esperando alguém para subir
do seu lado lá no topo da montanha.
Всё надеется, что кто-нибудь 
доберётся до тех вершин, где стоит он.
