"The residents of the Chikusei-so will run in the Hakone Ekiden together." Kakeru responds strongly to Haiji's rash suggestion.
All the residents are amateurs when it comes to long distance running. Nobody takes Haiji's words seriously.
The residents attempt to carry on with their college lives, but Haiji's shadow approaches.
Threatened by Haiji's mysterious pressure, several tragically fall to Haiji's hand.
Kakeru tries to leave the Chikusei-so, but he runs into Nico-chan in the city.
Meanwhile, the Chikusei-so's bath breaks for unknown reasons, and they decide to go to the "hellish" public bath instead...
If I want to run, I'll run alone.
إن كنتُ سأركض، سأفعل وحيداً
Wenn ich laufen will,
tu ich das allein.
Cuando quiero correr, lo hago solo.
Cuando quiero correr, lo hago solo.
Si je veux courir, je le ferai seul.
Se voglio correre, lo faccio da solo.
Se quiser correr, vá sozinho.
Если захочу бегать, побегу один.
