The Tokyo-Hakone Round-Trip College Ekiden Race finally begins.
Haiji was right, and Section 1 moves at a slow pace while the teams try to feel each other out.
Prince, who bears the heavy responsibility of starting the race, takes up his position behind the other runners and conserves his strength.
It's all part of Haiji's plan to take the top.
Haiji also sends a message to Prince through Tazaki in the coach's vehicle and heads to the Tsurumi Relay Station where Musa waits.
The group raises its pace. Prince desperately hangs on.
And in the back of his mind, he recalls a conversation he once had with Haiji...
I like protagonists, but I also
like the people who lead them.
،أحبّ الشخصيات الرئيسية
لكن كذلك من يقودونهم
Ich mag die Hauptcharaktere. Aber die,
die sie geführt haben, mag ich ebenso.
Me gustan los protagonistas,
pero también quienes los guiaron.
Me gustan los protagonistas,
pero también quienes los guiaron.
J’aime bien les héros,
A me piacciono i protagonisti,
Eu gosto dos protagonistas,
mas também gosto daqueles que os guiam.
Мне нравятся и главные герои,
и те, кто указывает им путь.
