After being challenged by Tokyo Sport University's Sakaki, Kakeru and the other residents of Chikusei-so have grown closer.
As they celebrate the renewal of their resolve, King comes home wearing a suit for a change.
Meanwhile, Kakeru voices his objections to participating in a track meet so soon.
What point is there in forcing the amateurish residents to face reality?
In response to Kakeru, Haiji asks his own question.
Kakeru's doubts remain unresolved as Haiji begins holding proper practices.
However, King refuses to participate because he's busy looking for a job...
Under a cloud of anxiety, their proper training begins.
Don't tell me it was the day 
Haiji brought up Hakone.
لا تخبرني أنّه كان يوم ذكر هايجي لـ هاكوني
¿Fue cuando Haiji
mencionó lo del Hakone?
¿Fue cuando Haiji
mencionó lo de la Hakone?
Depuis que Haiji a parlé
du Hakone ?
Non dirmi che è da quando 
Haiji ha tirato fuori la storia di Hakone?
Não me diga que é desde aquele dia
que o Haiji veio com a conversa de Hakone...
Неужто в тот день, когда
Хайдзи заикнулся о марафоне?
