Haruka has entered Hidaka University, where he's now training with the swim club to prepare for a newcomer tournament. One day, he runs into Asahi, a swim teammate from middle school. Haruka is later joined by Makoto, who also moved to Tokyo, at a coffee shop to catch up with Asahi... and the topic quickly turns to Ikuya, another teammate they swam with in middle school. On the day of the newcomer tournament, Haruka and Asahi are in the same race for the first time in years... and the spectacle is watched by Hiyori, who calls Haruka an "inferior copy of Ikuya." After the race, as Haruka is walking through the halls with Asahi, he catches sight of Ikuya passing by...
Hey, Haru, are you still saying 
that "I only swim free" thing?
هارو، أما زلت تقول ذلك الكلام الذي يوحي
بأنّك لا تجيد سوى السباحة الحرّة؟
Hey, Haru! Sagst du etwa immer noch,
dass du nur Freistil schwimmst?
Oye, Haru. ¿Sigues diciendo
que solo nadas estilo libre?
Oye, Haru. ¿Sigues diciendo
que solo nadas estilo libre?
Haru, tu refuses toujours
de faire autre chose ?
Ehi, Haru.
Ei Haru, você ainda tem aquilo
de "eu só pratico nado livre"?
Эй, Хару, а ты до сих пор
говоришь «я плаваю только вольным»?
