King rebels against Haiji's escalating demands.
His job search continues to go poorly, causing him to close himself off to even Shindo, who is concerned for him.
Eventually King begins acting independently. The other residents are also unable to hide their befuddlement at being told they can't work.
Meanwhile, Kakeru goes to Nico-chan in order to dispel his doubts about Haiji, but he's unable to find a definitive answer.
While this is happening, Shindo has an idea and suggests it to the other residents, but...
But if we don't do well at the track meet,
 we can't run in the Hakone Ekiden.
لكن لم إن نُبلي حسناً في لقاء المضمار
لن نشارك في هاكوني
Aber wenn wir beim Vorlaufen
die entsprechende Zeit nicht schaffen,
Pero si nos va mal en el encuentro,
no podremos correr en el Hakone Ekiden.
Pero si nos va mal en el encuentro,
no podremos correr en la Hakone Ekiden.
Mais si on fait pas les temps
au meeting,
Però, se non otteniamo dei buoni tempi al meeting,
Mas se não for bem na corrida de
registro, não vai correr na Hakone Ekiden.
Но если мы не пройдём аттестацию,
не сможем побежать марафон.
