[00:05] Ikuya
    I'm alone again.
[00:07] Ikuya
    No one's going to save me.
[00:12] Ikuya
    If that's how it is, I...

[00:27] Hiyori
    Morning, Ikuya. Were you awake?
[00:30] Ikuya
    The phone woke me up. What is it?
[00:32] Hiyori
    Nothing, really. Just a wake-up call.
[00:35] Hiyori
    I wanted to make sure you
    won't be late for practice.
[00:38] Ikuya
    I won't be late.
[00:39] Hiyori
    I hope not.
[00:42] Hiyori
    You know, after all that
    happened yesterday...
[00:45] Hiyori
    That teammate of yours from middle school...
[00:47] ---
    Nanase-kun, was it?
[00:49] Ikuya
    Just forget about that.
[00:51] ---
    I'm fine.
[00:52] Ikuya
    I need to get ready, all right?
[00:54] ---
    See you later.

[04:01] David
    Good morning, Rin.
[04:02] Rin
    Hey, David.
[04:04] David
    How's Mikhail working out for you?
[04:06] Rin
    He's a great coach, but...
[04:08] David
    But?
[04:10] (Flashback) Mikhail
    By the way, Rin-kun, do you prefer
    char siu or naruto on your ramen?
[04:15] ---
    I can't read him.
[04:18] David
    He's known for being smart,
    but a little different.
[04:21] David
    You should be happy, though.
[04:23] David
    Mikhail's respected and rarely
    coaches someone one-on-one.
[04:24] Voice
    Take your marks.
[04:26] Rin
    Yeah, I'm surprised, too.
[04:30] David
    Well, he clearly saw something in you.
[04:32] Rin
    I'm not sure what, though.
[04:36] Rin
    Regardless, I'm grateful.
[04:41] Rin
    Chris, what's wrong?
[04:42] Chris
    Oh, Rin!
[04:44] Chris
    Some random Japanese guy came out of nowhere
[04:47] Chris
    and asked Mikhail to coach him!
[04:49] Rin
    What?
[04:50] Chris
    Mikhail said no,
[04:52] Chris
    but the guy told him he'd have to be his coach if he beat everyone else.
[04:56] David
    A Japanese guy... Do you know him?
[04:59] Rin
    No. I don't know anyone like that.
[05:03] Johann
    He's fast!
[05:08] Natsuya
    I'm not that fast. You guys are just too slow.
[05:20] Natsuya
    Who's this? Wanna be next?
[05:28] Rin
    Sounds fun.
[05:32] Rin
    I'll take you on.
[05:34] Natsuya
    Oh, you're Japanese?
[05:37] Mikhail
    Don't bother, Rin-kun.
[05:39] Rin
    Mikhail...
[05:41] Mikhail
    No matter how many people you
    beat, I'm not going to coach you.
[05:47] Natsuya
    Why not?
[05:49] Natsuya
    I'm faster than these guys, at least.
[05:51] Mikhail
    I have no interest in guys who are just fast.
[05:54] Natsuya
    What else do I need?
[05:56] Mikhail
    You want to know? It's...
[06:03] Mikhail
    Muscles.
[06:04] Natsuya
    Huh?
[06:04] Mikhail
    Your muscles aren't my type.
[06:07] Natsuya
    What does that mean?!
[06:08] Rin
    Dude, are you just like Gou?
[06:10] Mikhail
    Rin-kun's muscles are cho-very good!
[06:13] Natsuya
    "Cho-very good"?
[06:14] Mikhail
    That's Japanese for truly
    wonderful and amazing.
[06:18] Natsuya
    No one even says that anymore!
[06:21] Mikhail
    They don't?
[06:23] Mikhail
    Is that true, Rin-kun?
[06:24] Rin
    Yeah.
[06:26] Mikhail
    God damn! I can't believe it!
[06:27] Mikhail
    So is "MK5" out of style now too, Rin-kun?!
[06:38] Rin
    He's definitely skilled as a coach...
[06:48] Coach
    100m breast, sixth place: Inada Tadashi.
[06:50] Coach
    200m free, third place: Kiyruu Isana.
[06:53] Coach
    100m free, second place: Nanase Haruka.
[07:03] Mikoshiba
    Nanase-kun.
[07:03] Coach
    Looking ahead to this summer's tournament,
[07:05] Coach
    we'll hold consultations to decide
    which events you'll each enter,
[07:05] Mikoshiba
    What's wrong? You okay?
[07:07] Coach
    and you'll practice with
    a focus on those events.
[07:07] Haru
    I'm fine.
[07:09] Haru
    Nothing's wrong.
[07:10] Coach
    Your results in the tournament will...
[07:35] Hoshikawa
    Kirishima.
[07:38] Hoshikawa
    Was everything okay yesterday?
[07:40] Ikuya
    Yeah.
[07:41] Hoshikawa
    Your IM was unbelievable.
[07:43] Hoshikawa
    It's a shame that's your only event
    even though you swim so well.
[07:46] Hoshikawa
    Why don't you enter the freestyle relay?
[07:48] Ikuya
    No, relays aren't...
[07:51] Hiyori
    Hoshikawa-senpai, Ikuya doesn't swim relays.
[07:54] Hoshikawa
    Why not?
[07:55] Hiyori
    He focuses on individual events.
[07:58] Hiyori
    Right, Ikuya?
[07:59] Ikuya
    Yeah. I can't perform my best in team events.
[08:02] Hoshikawa
    What? Come on, man!
[08:04] Ikuya
    Sorry. Excuse me.
[08:10] Hoshikawa
    What a waste of talent.
[08:12] Saotome
    Hey, Tachibana, wanna go to that meet-up
    with Oudoukan University later?
[08:16] Makoto
    Thanks, but I have plans today.
[08:20] Saotome
    Again? You're no fun, Tachibana.
[08:22] Makoto
    Yeah... Sorry.
[08:24] Sousuke
    Kirishima Ikuya?
[08:27] Sousuke
    Oh, Nagisa told you?
[08:29] Makoto
    Yeah.
[08:30] Sousuke
    I think I saw him in the IM, but that's it.
[08:33] Sousuke
    I don't know anything else.
[08:36] Sousuke
    Is something going on with Kirishima Ikuya?
[08:38] Makoto
    Well, I guess Haru talked to him a little,
[08:42] Makoto
    but I mean... I don't know...
[08:45] Makoto
    It sounds like he's changed a lot.
[08:49] Makoto
    You know, since Haru and I both quit
    swimming for a while in middle school...
[08:56] Sousuke
    An old teammate, huh?
[09:04] Natsuya
    Yo.
[09:06] Natsuya
    I haven't introduced myself yet, have I?
[09:09] Natsuya
    I'm Kirishima Natsuya.
[09:11] Rin
    I'm Matsuoka Rin.
[09:13] Natsuya
    Rin? Sounds like a girl's name.
[09:20] Natsuya
    Hey, don't look so pissed off.
[09:22] Natsuya
    Wanna go grab dinner?
[09:25] Natsuya
    It's my first time in Sydney.
[09:26] Natsuya
    Show me around.
[09:39] Rin
    Don't you think you're drinking too much?
[09:41] Natsuya
    This isn't that much at all.
[09:43] Rin
    Should a competitive swimmer be doing this?
[09:46] Natsuya
    I'm not a competitive swimmer.
[09:48] ---
    I don't have a team.
[09:51] Rin
    Then what are you doing now?
[09:53] Natsuya
    Just collecting prize money.
[09:54] Rin
    What does that mean?
[09:56] Natsuya
    I wander all over the world,
[09:58] Natsuya
    entering races that offer prize
    money when I feel like it.
[10:01] Natsuya
    And... I win.
[10:03] Natsuya
    Then I use the prize money
    to set off for someplace new.
[10:09] Natsuya
    Even among swimmers, there are
    some guys who live like me.
[10:14] Natsuya
    What's wrong?
[10:16] Rin
    Uh, nothing.
[10:18] Rin
    It's too bad. You're a good swimmer.
[10:20] Natsuya
    Anyway, I heard you went to Sano?
[10:23] Rin
    Huh?
[10:24] Natsuya
    I went to Iwatobi.
[10:26] Rin
    Really?! Do you know Har—
[10:29] Rin
    Nanase Haruka, by any chance?
[10:31] Natsuya
    Nanase Haruka? I remember him.
[10:34] Natsuya
    He was a new student when
    I was in my third year.
[10:37] Rin
    At Iwatobi Middle School?
[10:38] Natsuya
    Yeah. You went to Sano Middle School?
[10:40] Rin
    Ah, no...
[10:42] Rin
    I was in Sydney as an exchange
    student to train in swimming.
[10:46] Natsuya
    Damn, in middle school?
[10:48] Natsuya
    Cocky one, aren't you?
[10:49] Rin
    Yeah... I guess I was pretty cocky.
[10:53] Natsuya
    Haruka was cocky, too.
[10:56] Natsuya
    He always said, "I only swim free."
[10:59] Natsuya
    I heard he quit swimming, though.
[11:03] Natsuya
    What's he up to these days?
[11:04] Natsuya
    Did he quit swimming for good?
[11:07] Rin
    No, he started up again in high school.
[11:10] Rin
    He's doing his best in Japan.
[11:12] Rin
    He's aiming for the global stage, like me.
[11:14] Rin
    It's my dream to swim on a
    global level with him someday.
[11:19] Natsuya
    I see...
[11:20] Natsuya
    You might end up being my
    little brother's rival, then.
[11:24] Rin
    You have a little brother?
[11:27] Rin
    Natsuya-san?
[11:31] Rin
    Come on, keep it together.
[11:33] Natsuya
    Sorry...
[11:36] Natsuya
    This is my hotel. Thanks.
[11:39] Natsuya
    Hey, what's up?
[11:41] Rin
    Nothing.
[11:43] Rin
    Just that I've stayed here before, too.
[11:49] Rin
    Jeez, talk about a high-maintenance senpai...
SIGN    Nanase Haruka
[12:04] Rin
    I'll save it for next time I see him.
[12:10] Makoto
    Sorry I'm so late.
[12:13] Makoto
    Hey, where's Kisumi?
[12:15] Haruka
    He said his club was meeting up.
[12:17] Asahi
    He sure is loving the college life.
[12:20] Makoto
    That's a good thing, isn't it? It suits him.
[12:22] Makoto
    Anyway, do we have a plan to go see Ikuya?
[12:27] Asahi
    Actually, about that...
[12:30] Asahi
    I'm not sure if it's right for
    all of us to just barge in.
[12:33] Asahi
    So maybe we should have Kisumi go
    over and talk to him a bit first...
[12:37] Makoto
    You're not usually this timid.
[12:39] Asahi
    Well, you know...
[12:41] ---
    I told him back then that
    I wouldn't move again...
[12:47] Makoto
    It'll be fine. Ikuya's not mad about that.
[12:50] Haruka
    You told Ikuya what was going on, right?
[12:53] Makoto
    Yeah.
[12:55] Makoto
    A little, after you quit the
    club and Asahi moved away.
[13:00] Makoto
    The team broke up,
[13:02] Makoto
    but Ikuya was optimistic about
    continuing with swimming.
[13:06] Asahi
    And he went to America with
    Natsuya-senpai after that?
[13:10] Makoto
    Yeah.
[13:13] Asahi
    Who was that guy we saw with Ikuya?
[13:16] ---
    A friend from high school?
[13:18] Makoto
    No idea...
[13:19] Asahi
    And when did Ikuya come
    back from America, anyway?
[13:22] Asahi
    Where'd he go to high school?
[13:26] Asahi
    It seems like...
[13:28] Asahi
    we don't know anything about Ikuya at all.
[13:32] Asahi
    Even though we were all his teammates...
[13:57] Hiyori
    Nice swimming, Ikuya.
[13:59] Hiyori
    Your rhythm seemed a little
    different from usual, though.
[14:02] Hiyori
    Something happen?
[14:03] Ikuya
    No, not really.
[14:05] Hiyori
    You're breathing kinda hard, though...
[14:09] Ikuya
    You worry too much, Hiyori.
[14:17] Johann
    He's here again.
[14:19] David
    It's been four days.
[14:21] Chris
    He's stubborn.
[14:23] Johann
    Rin, you've gotta stop having
    dinner with him every night.
[14:27] Rin
    It's fine. He's not a bad guy.
[14:32] Rin
    Mikhail?
[14:37] Mikhail
    Natsuya-kun.
[14:39] Mikhail
    You can keep coming back,
    but I won't change my mind.
[14:43] Natsuya
    You don't know that.
[14:44] Mikhail
    That's some confidence.
[14:46] Natsuya
    You said you like muscles, right?
SIGN    Winning Muscles
[14:51] Natsuya
    How about this?
[14:54] Mikhail
    I already have that.
[14:55] Natsuya
    I see.
[14:57] Natsuya
    Then how about this?!
SIGN    Beautiful Muscles
[15:00] Natsuya
    A rare find, even in Japan.
[15:02] Natsuya
    A priceless photo book coveted
    by all muscle maniacs!
[15:04] Rin
    I think my sister has that.
[15:07] Mikhail
    Really, Rin-kun?!
[15:09] ---
    You've gotta introduce me to your sister!
[15:12] Ayumu
    Is something wrong?
[15:13] Gou
    I just had a really bad feeling...
[15:16] Gou
    Ayumu-chan!
[15:18] Gou
    If anything happens to me, you
    have to protect this photo book!
[15:22] Ayumu
    I can't promise anything.

[15:25] Kisumi
    I'm here.
[15:27] Asahi
    Don't give us that!
[15:29] Asahi
    You didn't call or anything.
[15:32] ---
    What have you been doing?
[15:34] Kisumi
    Gathering information.
[15:36] Kisumi
    I just recently became friends
    with a senpai whose boyfriend
[15:39] ---
    is in Shimo U's swim club.
[15:41] Asahi
    For real?!
[15:41] Kisumi
    Yep.
[15:42] Kisumi
    And according to the info
    I got from that senpai...
[15:46] Kisumi
    This is X Day!
SIGN    Evening Running Lecture 12
SIGN    Fri.
[15:49] Asahi
    X Day?
[15:50] Kisumi
    It's the day he doesn't
    have swimming practice.
[15:52] Kisumi
    That's the day you should go see him.
[15:55] Makoto
    We should? What about you?
[15:58] Kisumi
    Oh, I'm meeting up with
    another club that day...
[16:01] Asahi
    Damn it, Kisumi! Which is more important,
    your friends or your clubs?!
[16:04] Kisumi
    They're both important!
[16:05] Asahi
    Friendship, right?!
[16:07] Natsuya
    Sorry to drag you out every night.
[16:09] Rin
    If that's how you feel, why
    don't you cover my dinner?
[16:12] Natsuya
    I have a policy against
    spoiling younger guys.
[16:15] Natsuya
    You pay for your own food.

SIGN    To Natsuya-kun Ikuya's Condition
SIGN    To Natsuya-kun Ikuya's Condition
SIGN    Toono Hiyori
SIGN    Sorry for replying late. Ikuya's time hasn't improved since then. His form has been losing its balance during practice, especially in freestyle, and he doesn't have the power he had at the last tournament. So he's been training in the basics these days.
[16:26] Rin
    Is something wrong?
[16:27] Natsuya
    Message from Japan. Sounds
    like Ikuya's struggling.
[16:30] Rin
    Ikuya?
[16:31] Natsuya
    That's my brother.
[16:33] Rin
    Kirishima Ikuya...
[16:35] (Flashback) Sousuke
    Kirishima Ikuya...
[16:38] (Flashback) Rin
    Kirishima?
[16:41] Rin
    Is the message from your brother?
[16:43] Natsuya
    No, it's from a friend of his.
[16:45] Natsuya
    They met in America while
    he was studying abroad.
[16:48] Rin
    Your brother went abroad for swim training?
[16:54] Natsuya
    You and Haruka are friends, right?
[16:56] Rin
    Yeah.
[17:00] Natsuya
    In the summer of Ikuya's first year of middle
    school, he swam in a relay with Haruka.
[17:06] Natsuya
    But Haruka quit the club after that.
[17:11] Natsuya
    His other teammates moved
    or quit, one by one.
[17:14] Natsuya
    so the team broke up.
[17:16] Natsuya
    Ikuya ended up alone.
[17:19] Natsuya
    That's why, in his second year,
[17:21] Natsuya
    he came to America, where I was studying.
[17:24] Natsuya
    It's not that I'm mad at Haruka
    and his friends, though.
[17:31] Natsuya
    Ikuya devoted himself to
    practicing with me in America,
[17:36] Natsuya
    but he has a bad habit of losing sight
    of everything when he gets absorbed.
[17:41] Natsuya
    He pushed himself too hard and
    nearly drowned from lack of oxygen.
[17:46] Natsuya
    No serious damage was done,
[17:49] Natsuya
    but I guess the mental shock was pretty huge.
[17:52] Natsuya
    He had to stay in the hospital for a while.
[17:58] Natsuya
    But that experience made him stronger.
[18:02] Natsuya
    Not just in breast, but in
    free, butterfly, and back, too.
[18:05] Natsuya
    He mastered each one
[18:06] Natsuya
    and stopped swimming in relays on his team.
[18:10] Natsuya
    He's been posting better and better IM times,
[18:13] Natsuya
    but I'm worried he's going to hit
    a wall at the pace he's going.
[18:18] Natsuya
    I want him to reach the global level.
[18:23] Rin
    What about you?
[18:25] Natsuya
    Huh?
[18:26] Rin
    You don't want to reach the global level?
[18:30] Natsuya
    I don't need to.
[18:32] Natsuya
    I swim when I want, how I want.
[18:34] Rin
    Then why do you want Mikhail to coach you?
[18:36] Natsuya
    Because I want to get better, of course.
[18:39] Natsuya
    But it's not to win medals.
[18:54] Rin
    Natsuya-san, is your own dream—
[18:56] Natsuya
    Hey, wanna race me?
[18:58] Rin
    Huh?
[18:59] Natsuya
    Race me!
[19:00] ---
    How about the 200m freestyle?
[19:02] Rin
    Don't you only swim when you want?
[19:04] Natsuya
    I want to now!
[19:06] Rin
    There won't be prize money.
[19:08] Natsuya
    We'll just bet something.
[19:10] Natsuya
    How about dinner tomorrow?
[19:11] Rin
    That's not an equal bet. You drink alcohol.
[19:14] Natsuya
    Okay... How about new swimsuits?
[19:16] Rin
    I don't need one right now.
[19:18] Natsuya
    No, huh? Then...
[19:22] Rin
    You're like Sousuke.
[19:23] Natsuya
    Huh?
[19:24] Rin
    Oh, I had a friend in elementary school
[19:27] Rin
    who wanted to compete over everything.
[19:30] Natsuya
    He's not your friend now?
[19:32] Rin
    He's still a close friend and rival.
[19:35] Natsuya
    Is he still swimming?
[19:37] Rin
    No, he injured his shoulder.
[19:39] Rin
    But...
[19:41] Rin
    I want to swim with him again.
[19:46] Natsuya
    You're the adulterous type, huh?
[19:47] Natsuya
    There's Haruka, too. Just how many
    guys do you want to swim with?
[19:52] Natsuya
    Okay, how about this?
[19:54] Natsuya
    If I win, you let me stay in your apartment!
[19:57] Natsuya
    I only have the hotel until next week.
[20:09] ---
    Take your marks.
[20:20] Natsuya
    Trying to use your prized leg
    strength to break away?
[20:23] Natsuya
    Interesting!
[20:33] Rin
    He's beside me?!
[20:34] Natsuya
    The fun is yet to come!
[20:40] Rin
    Damn, he's powerful!
[20:51] Natsuya
    Huh?
[20:53] Natsuya
    Oh, come on!
[20:55] ---
    It wasn't supposed to rain until morning!
[20:58] Natsuya
    I guess we'll have to
    save our race for later.
[21:00] Rin
    You have a place you can stay?
[21:03] Natsuya
    I think I'll go back to Japan.
[21:05] Rin
    Huh?
[21:06] Natsuya
    It's been fun.
[21:07] Natsuya
    Thanks.
[21:08] Natsuya
    You made me remember that there's
    someone I want to swim with, too.
[21:18] Mikhail
    Looks like Natsuya-kun isn't coming back.
[21:20] Rin
    Was it really because his
    muscles weren't to your liking?
[21:23] Mikhail
    Rin-kun, there are only two kinds of muscles.
[21:26] Mikhail
    The kind I like and the kind I don't like.
[21:31] Mikhail
    His were the latter.
[21:32] Rin
    You were serious about that?
[21:34] Mikhail
    I'm serious about everything.
[21:36] Mikhail
    Still, I don't think there would've
    been any point in me coaching him.
[21:41] Mikhail
    It was written all over his face that
    what mattered most to him wasn't here.
[21:45] Rin
    You could tell?
[21:47] Mikhail
    I knew someone a long time
    ago who was the same way.
