The day for the annual marathon and Salt Middle School was drawing nearer. Mob proclaims that if he places in the top 10 he'll tell Tsubomi how he feels about her. Everyone around him cheers Mob on and he starts training hard every day until the day of the event. Meanwhile, Tsubomi and her friend Miki go to Reigen's Spirits and Such Consultation Office with a request. Ritsu happened to be at the office, helping out in Mob's absence, but he hears Tsubomi say something rather surprising.
We should watch from somewhere along
the course rather than the finish line.
ينبغي على الأغلب أن نركّز على نقطة
المنتصف بدلاً من خطّ النهاية
Schauen wir lieber nicht an der Ziellinie,
sondern auf halber Strecke zu.
Esperemos a medio camino
en lugar de en la meta.
Esperemos a medio camino
en lugar de en la meta.
Si on allait au milieu de la course
plutôt qu’à la fin ?
Forse è il caso di tenere d'occhio 
la zona a metà percorso piuttosto che il traguardo.
Nós devíamos ficar no meio da pista, 
ao invés da linha de chegada.
Пойдём лучше не на финиш,
а на промежуточную точку.
