**[00:24] Twin (Jota or Joji)**
Hey! Welcome back.
**[00:27] Twin (Jota or Joji)**
I thought you'd be back before us.
**[00:30] Kakeru**
What are you doing?
**[00:31] Twin (Jota or Joji)**
Throwing an after-party.
**[00:32] Kakeru**
Not a review session?
**[00:34] Twin (Jota or Joji)**
Yeah, you could call it that.
**[00:36] Twin (Jota or Joji)**
Go get changed.
**[00:39] Prince**
All that talk about sportsmanship...
**[00:43] Prince**
In the end, they just play dirty.
**[00:45] Twin (Jota or Joji)**
I know. I understand how you feel.
**[00:48] Prince**
Someone elbowed me as soon as we started.
**[00:50] King**
Someone pushed my back.
**[00:52] Prince**
It made me lose all desire to run.
**[00:54] Shindo**
Everyone's desperate to secure a good position.
**[00:58] Prince**
If it's a race for the best time,
**[01:00] Prince**
we should run one at a time
and then compare results.
**[01:04] Yuki**
They can't do that.
**[01:07] Nico**
Kakeru, you don't get it, do you?
**[01:09] Kakeru**
Huh?
**[01:10] Nico**
These complaints.
**[01:12] Nico**
There was no one running near you.
**[01:14] Yuki**
You were running alone.
**[01:16] Kakeru**
That's not true.
**[01:17] King**
I felt bad to be wearing
the same uniform as you.
**[01:21] Musa**
It was fantastic.
**[01:23] Musa**
You finished third in your first race.
**[01:25] Musa**
I heard lots of people asking,
"who was that?" after the race.
**[01:30] Twin (Jota or Joji)**
Yeah. Everyone was talking
about you, especially the girls.
**[01:34] Twin (Jota or Joji)**
Lucky. I wish I had the girls' attention.
**[01:37] Haiji**
Kakeru.
**[01:39] Haiji**
Good work.
**[01:41] All**
Yeah!
***SIGN*** Run with the Wind
**[03:20] Shindo**
How did we do?
**[03:22] Shindo**
How were today's results?
**[03:25] Haiji**
What did you guys think?
**[03:27] King**
He doesn't want to comment.
**[03:29] Musa**
It didn't go as well as I'd hoped.
**[03:31] Twin (Jota or Joji)**
It was fun at first.
**[03:34] Twin (Jota or Joji)**
But I couldn't get the right pace.
**[03:36] Shindo**
It really hurts when there
are winners and losers.
**[03:39] Yuki**
Isn't our goal to achieve official records,
**[03:43] Yuki**
so we can run in the Hakone Ekiden qualifier?
**[03:45] Yuki**
Since none of us did, it was a crushing defeat.
**[03:48] King**
Huh? Didn't Kakeru and Haiji make it?
**[03:51] Yuki**
You don't need to count them.
**[03:53] Shindo**
We should. They're on the team.
**[03:56] Twin (Jota or Joji)**
I didn't even beat my personal
record from practice.
**[04:00] Haiji**
Races and practice are different.
**[04:03] Haiji**
If anything, experiencing the
difference was a major achievement.
**[04:08] Haiji**
We'll overcome that in
our upcoming practices, and...
**[04:12] Kakeru**
Running like this...
**[04:15] Kakeru**
We will make it in time running like this?
**[04:18] Haiji**
Of course.
**[04:20] Haiji**
In two weeks, we'll attend
the Kikui Uni track meet.
**[04:24] Haiji**
We'll practice even harder to prepare for it.
**[04:27] Both**
Even harder?!
**[04:28] Haiji**
We'll start on a new training
schedule tomorrow,
**[04:31] Haiji**
increasing both distance and speed.
**[04:33] King**
Can't we have tomorrow off?
**[04:36] Prince**
I agree. You need to cool down after a race.
**[04:40] Haiji**
There's no need to rest an entire day.
**[04:43] Haiji**
Long distance running is
all about practicing every day.
**[04:47] Kakeru**
I don't mind starting right now.
**[04:49] Twin (Jota or Joji)**
Right now?
**[04:51] Nico**
I've been drinking.
**[04:53] Kakeru**
I'm saying we should be taking
today's results just that seriously.
**[04:59] Kakeru**
We're running at Hakone, aren't we?
**[05:03] Yuki**
Hey, what's gotten into you?
**[05:06] Shindo**
Don't worry. We all intend to.
**[05:09] Kakeru**
Then what are we doing now?
**[05:11] Kakeru**
A review session?
**[05:13] Kakeru**
This is just a party, isn't it?
**[05:15] Shindo**
I thought it was a review session.
**[05:18] Nico**
Me, too.
**[05:19] Yuki**
You had too much to drink.
**[05:20] Twin (Jota or Joji)**
I think this kind of thing is necessary, too.
**[05:23] Twin (Jota or Joji)**
Yeah. After all, we're a team.
**[05:26] Twin (Jota or Joji)**
We'll practice hard starting tomorrow.
**[05:27] King**
I'm telling you, we should take tomorrow off.
**[05:29] Prince**
I think it's supposed to rain.
**[05:32] Yuki**
Your jeans do absorb a lot of water.
**[05:35] Kakeru**
Don't be ridiculous!
***SIGN*** Dangerous Character
**[05:50] Nico**
It's not that I don't understand how you feel.
**[05:54] Nico**
But I understand how they feel, too.
**[05:57] Nico**
It takes courage to face something head on.
**[06:00] Kakeru**
That's something you should
have by the time you start.
**[06:04] Nico**
Sure, you do.
**[06:07] Nico**
It's amazing that you were
able to compete with Fujioka.
**[06:11] Nico**
You must've been incredible.
**[06:13] Kakeru**
Not at all.
**[06:14] Kakeru**
There was nothing I could
do during that final lap.
**[06:17] Nico**
There was nothing we could
do from our first lap.
**[06:20] Kakeru**
That's why we should be
taking this more seriously.
**[06:22] Nico**
Hey, Kakeru. What should I do?
**[06:25] Kakeru**
Huh?
**[06:27] Nico**
I'm too heavy.
**[06:29] Nico**
Should I shed some flesh or shed some bone?
**[06:32] Kakeru**
Issues of build are—
**[06:34] Nico**
They exist.
**[06:35] Nico**
You know that, don't you?
**[06:39] Nico**
Running today reaffirmed something for me.
**[06:42] Nico**
My body's not suited to long distance.
**[06:45] Nico**
I ran every day,
**[06:46] Nico**
but it was a close race between me
and King, who took some time off.
**[06:50] Kakeru**
Is that why you quit running?
**[06:54] Nico**
In high school, yeah. My coach told me to quit.
**[06:57] Nico**
Oh, I don't resent him for it.
**[06:59] Nico**
If anything, I felt relieved then.
**[07:03] Kakeru**
But that means you were frustrated, right?
**[07:06] Kakeru**
That's why you told me.
**[07:09] Kakeru**
It means you can't give it up.
**[07:13] Nico**
Maybe you're right.
**[07:18] Nico**
I was frustrated, but it's also
the reason I was happy, too.
**[07:23] Nico**
That feeling when you start...
**[07:29] Nico**
I never thought I'd get to taste that again.
**[07:33] Kakeru**
Then you should keep running.
**[07:35] Kakeru**
Let's both give everything we have.
**[07:46] Haiji**
Where's Kakeru?
**[07:47] Musa**
He went ahead without us.
**[07:49] Yuki**
Seriously? So we're back to how we started?
**[07:53] Shindo**
He wants to run at his
own pace starting today.
**[07:56] Twin (Jota or Joji)**
Nico-chan Senpai said he wanted
to try running at his own pace
**[07:59] Twin (Jota or Joji)**
during morning practice, too.
**[08:01] King**
What? You sure he didn't just skip?
**[08:09] Hanako**
Kurahara!
**[08:36] Nico**
Shut up!
**[08:37] Nico**
It sounds like this thing
is groaning! It's creepy!
**[08:40] Twin (Jota or Joji)**
But my legs...
**[08:41] Twin (Jota or Joji)**
My butt is cramping.
**[08:44] Both**
You're gonna curse us!
**[08:46] Nico**
You guys don't need to be here.
**[08:48] Twin (Jota or Joji)**
Yeah, but we can't move anymore.
**[08:52] Twin (Jota or Joji)**
Maybe we can take a bath tomorrow.
**[08:55] Twin (Jota or Joji)**
Let's do that.
**[08:56] Nico**
Isn't that what you said yesterday?
**[08:58] Prince**
I found it.
**[09:00] Nico**
A treadmill?
**[09:01] Prince**
Yes.
**[09:02] Prince**
Ugh, but it's expensive.
**[09:05] Nico**
Is *that* what you've been shopping for?
**[09:08] Prince**
Yes. There must be a cheaper one somewhere...
**[09:11] Nico**
Hurry it up. You should go to Yuki's room.
**[09:15] Prince**
He'd never let me in his room.
**[09:18] Nico**
You're right, especially
not if they went with you.
**[09:22] Twin (Jota or Joji)**
Jota, right there.
**[09:24] Twin (Jota or Joji)**
I'll try the same spot.
**[09:26] Twin (Jota or Joji)**
Oh, it's so good.
**[09:28] Nico**
That's gross!
**[09:30] Twin (Jota or Joji)**
Why are you in such a bad mood?
**[09:32] Twin (Jota or Joji)**
Is it withdrawal?
**[09:34] Nico**
Anyway, Prince, does this
mean you want to run now?
**[09:37] Prince**
No, but he's been pestering us
to practice all the time.
**[09:42] Prince**
I'd like to at least be able
to read comics while I do.
**[09:50] Prince**
This mouse is so hard to use.
**[09:54] Prince**
No, it's not a mouse!
**[09:55] Prince**
What is this?!
**[09:57] Nico**
What? Shut up already.
**[09:59] Prince**
This!
**[10:00] Twin (Jota or Joji)**
Yikes.
**[10:01] Nico**
It's so I wouldn't accidentally smoke.
**[10:03] Prince**
It's just like Rikiishi!
**[10:04] Nico**
Huh?
**[10:05] Prince**
Are you a fan of Joe?
**[10:07] Nico**
That's not what I was trying to do.
**[10:09] Twin (Jota or Joji)**
What's Rikiishi?
**[10:11] Prince**
You don't know, you idiots?
**[10:13] Prince**
He's a boxer. Joe's first,
and greatest, rival.
**[10:18] Prince**
In order to lose weight, he didn't allow
himself to drink a single drop of water.
**[10:22] Prince**
He's a legendary boxer who ultimately
died while standing in the ring.
**[10:26] Twin (Jota or Joji)**
Whoa.
**[10:28] Prince**
That's it?!
**[10:29] Twin (Jota or Joji)**
What? Nico-chan Senpai, are you okay?
**[10:32] Twin (Jota or Joji)**
Don't die while standing
during the Hakone Ekiden.
**[10:36] Nico**
Don't say such ominous things.
**[10:38] Prince**
You've touched my heart.
**[10:40] Nico**
How?
**[10:41] Prince**
I won't be beat!
**[10:42] Prince**
I'm gonna buy a treadmill!
**[10:46] Twin (Jota or Joji)**
Finally!
***SIGN*** Add to Cart
**[10:48] Prince**
The buy button is so far...
**[10:53] Twin (Jota or Joji)**
Go, go, Prince! Go, go, Prince!
**[10:57] Yuki**
Shut up! Go to the second floor!
**[11:00] Nico**
Stay out of my room!
**[11:25] Twin (Jota or Joji)**
Our fixed-pace runs are twice as long.
**[11:28] Twin (Jota or Joji)**
The build-up runs have increased a lot, too.
**[11:31] Haiji**
I considered each of you individually.
**[11:33] Haiji**
We'll increase the intensity
of practice in any way we can.
**[11:38] Musa**
Let's try it. I'm sure we can do it.
**[11:41] Shindo**
Yeah.
**[11:42] Yuki**
Hold on. Is that okay?
**[11:44] Yuki**
Build-up runs are speed training, right?
**[11:48] Yuki**
They're exhausting and hard on your legs.
**[11:54] Yuki**
What?
**[11:54] Shindo**
Yuki, you finally feel like running?
**[11:56] Yuki**
No! I'm just worried about you guys!
**[11:59] Nico**
I knew you cared.
**[12:01] Yuki**
If we injure ourselves, we'll have nothing.
**[12:06] Haiji**
Yuki's right.
**[12:08] Haiji**
Some of you will struggle with build-ups,
**[12:12] Haiji**
so I've incorporated interval runs, as well.
**[12:16] Twin (Jota or Joji)**
What?! You're adding more?
**[12:18] King**
Were you listening to what Yuki said?
**[12:20] Kakeru**
Let's do it. We're wasting time.
**[12:22] Haiji**
Let's split into two groups.
**[12:35] Haiji**
You can do it. You've got this, Prince.
**[12:38] Prince**
I can do it?
**[12:40] Prince**
What do you think I can do?
**[12:50] Kakeru**
Run on the left!
***SIGN*** Ugh
**[12:51] Kakeru**
Clear the path!
**[12:53] Prince**
Okay...
**[13:11] Shindo**
What?
**[13:12] Kakeru**
Are you running tonight?
**[13:14] Kakeru**
Are you going jogging tonight?
**[13:17] Shindo**
Oh, uh...
**[13:18] Musa**
We're exhausted from practice today.
**[13:22] Kakeru**
Then, even though we've stepped up
practice, we won't have gained anything.
**[13:27] Musa**
But...
**[13:28] Shindo**
We were jogging at night for other reasons.
**[13:31] Kakeru**
The fan club, right?
Have you been gaining members?
**[13:35] Shindo**
Slowly.
**[13:36] Shindo**
But I'm too exhausted to recruit.
**[13:42] Haiji**
Kakeru, behind you!
**[13:44] Woman**
Hey, watch out!
**[13:48] Haiji**
Be careful.
**[13:49] Haiji**
Practice lasts until we get home.
**[13:52] King**
Teacher says the field trip
lasts until we get home.
**[13:57] Yuki**
You've got energy to spare.
**[13:58] King**
I'm really thinking about quitting today.
**[14:03] Kakeru**
Let's keep going. We shouldn't
quit what we've started.
**[14:10] Musa**
He sure is fast, isn't he?
**[14:15] Twin (Jota or Joji)**
Whoa!
**[14:17] Twin (Jota or Joji)**
It's so hot!
**[14:19] Twin (Jota or Joji)**
This is it! This feels great!
**[14:27] Yuki**
The bath is hell,
**[14:29] Yuki**
but the sauna is pretty bad, too.
**[14:32] Haiji**
Don't forget to hydrate.
**[14:37] Yuki**
I'm sure you know, but Nico-chan
Senpai's pushing himself too hard.
**[14:42] Yuki**
Kakeru's egging him on.
**[14:44] Haiji**
Egging him on?
**[14:46] Yuki**
He used to run track.
**[14:49] Yuki**
Having a fast guy tell him he can do it
probably makes him feel like he can.
**[14:53] Yuki**
I think it's dangerous.
**[14:59] Shindo**
What's the hardest part about section 8?
**[15:02] King**
Too easy. The Yugyo-ji Temple Slope.
**[15:04] Shindo**
Correct.
**[15:05] King**
Yeah!
**[15:06] King**
What else? What else you got?
**[15:08] Shindo**
Oh, uh...
**[15:09] Nico**
King seems to be doing well.
**[15:11] Musa**
When he mentioned the Ekiden
in his afternoon interview,
**[15:15] Musa**
it was apparently received very well.
**[15:17] Nico**
It's working for him.
**[15:18] Nico**
Thanks for the food.
**[15:20] Yuki**
That was quick.
Did you get enough to eat?
**[15:23] Nico**
Sure I did.
**[15:25] Nico**
Food tastes better since I stopped smoking.
**[15:36] Haiji**
It's important to let your muscles rest.
**[15:42] Kakeru**
I'm fine. I got plenty of rest this past month.
**[15:57] (Flashback) Kazuma**
Lead the team with him.
**[16:00] (Flashback) Kakeru**
With him?
**[16:01] (Flashback) Kazuma**
Aren't you going for Hakone?
**[16:11] Shindo**
Oh, right. Prince.
**[16:13] Shindo**
The twins told me you
were looking for a treadmill.
**[16:17] Prince**
Yes.
**[16:18] Shindo**
My family's got one they don't use.
**[16:21] Shindo**
I'll have them ship it here.
**[16:23] Both**
What?!
**[16:24] Nico**
You should've said so sooner!
**[16:26] Twin (Jota or Joji)**
That's great, Prince.
**[16:28] Prince**
Is... Is such a miracle possible?!
**[16:32] Shindo**
They're keeping it in the shed.
They were going to throw it away.
**[16:35] Prince**
Oh, god!
**[16:37] Haiji**
What's wrong?
**[16:38] Twin (Jota or Joji)**
Nothing. When one door shuts, another opens.
**[16:42] Shindo**
That's not quite right.
**[16:43] Prince**
Oh, God!
***SIGN*** Ogre Shipping
***SIGN*** Chikusei-so
**[16:55] Prince**
My alphabetical order, my alphabetical order...
**[16:58] Twin (Jota or Joji)**
This is surprisingly new.
**[17:00] Twin (Jota or Joji)**
And it's free?
**[17:01] Twin (Jota or Joji)**
You got a great deal, Prince.
**[17:04] Twin (Jota or Joji)**
Let's turn it on!
**[17:09] Prince**
I-It's too fast! Slow it down!
**[17:11] Prince**
I can't! I can't!
**[17:12] Twin (Jota or Joji)**
Wow! I've never seen Prince move so much!
**[17:14] Prince**
I can't do this!
**[17:15] Twin (Jota or Joji)**
Wow! Oh, wow!
**[17:23] Haiji**
What is that sound?
**[17:25] Kakeru**
I'm going to the field.
**[17:27] Kakeru**
Damn it.
**[17:34] Hanako**
You can do it!
**[17:35] Hanako**
Keep it up!
**[17:37] Yuki**
Two weeks until the next meet, huh?
**[17:40] Yuki**
How are you feeling?
**[17:43] Nico**
What is this? An interview?
**[17:44] Nico**
I'm getting into shape right now.
**[17:49] Hanako**
14:50:02.
**[17:50] Yuki**
That's crazy fast.
**[17:52] Haiji**
Okay.
**[17:53] Haiji**
Joji, don't give up!
You can pass him!
**[17:56] Kakeru**
Wait. Are you sure that's right?
**[17:59] Hanako**
Huh?
**[18:00] Kakeru**
50:02? I don't think that's possible.
**[18:05] Hanako**
What? But...
**[18:07] Kakeru**
That's the same as two weeks ago!
**[18:11] Kakeru**
It doesn't make sense!
**[18:12] King**
What's his problem?
**[18:14] Kakeru**
Fine.
**[18:15] Kakeru**
I'll run it again. Time it correctly this time.
**[18:17] Haiji**
Kakeru!
**[18:19] Haiji**
Keep to the schedule.
**[18:21] Haiji**
And Hana's times are accurate.
**[18:26] Kakeru**
Sorry.
**[18:40] Kakeru**
What?
**[18:41] Haiji**
You don't need to run at the next meet.
**[18:44] Haiji**
Only the members who haven't
achieved official records will attend.
**[18:48] Kakeru**
Why?
**[18:50] Kakeru**
Is it because my time hasn't improved?
**[18:53] Kakeru**
In that case, it's better that I run.
**[18:56] Kakeru**
If I run, I can get back in shape.
**[18:58] Haiji**
It's pointless.
**[19:00] Haiji**
You can't see yourself right now.
**[19:06] Kakeru**
Then where can I leave my record?
**[19:10] Haiji**
There's always more track meets.
**[19:12] Haiji**
In the first place, we've
focused our aim on Hakone—
**[19:16] Kakeru**
Are you telling me to waste an entire year?
**[19:20] Kakeru**
It'll all be for nothing
if I don't leave a record.
**[19:25] Haiji**
Are records everything?
**[19:26] Kakeru**
What?
**[19:28] Haiji**
Is running for you all about speed
and abandoning those who fall behind?
**[19:36] Kakeru**
We're competing.
**[19:38] Kakeru**
We're not even guaranteed to run
in the Hakone Ekiden qualifier.
**[19:42] Kakeru**
Matching their half-assed speed
won't make me any faster.
**[19:46] Haiji**
No one here is running half-assed!
**[19:52] Haiji**
Why won't you try to acknowledge
that everyone's trying their best?
**[19:57] Haiji**
Is it because they're slower than you?
**[19:59] Haiji**
Is speed the only thing that matters to you?
**[20:03] Haiji**
Then there's no reason to run.
**[20:05] Haiji**
Ride a bullet train. Ride a plane.
**[20:08] Haiji**
They're faster.
**[20:10] Haiji**
Wake up, Kakeru.
**[20:11] Haiji**
It's not enough to just chase speed.
**[20:15] Haiji**
It's... futile.
**[20:23] Prince**
What?
**[20:25] Prince**
Are you guys fighting?
**[20:26] Haiji**
You weren't sleeping?
**[20:29] Prince**
I got thirsty.
**[20:31] Kakeru**
Excuse me.
**[20:32] Haiji**
Kakeru. We're not done talking.
**[20:36] Kakeru**
Prince.
**[20:40] Kakeru**
If you're only able to achieve
the same time at the next meet,
**[20:46] Kakeru**
will you quit the team?
**[20:51] Prince**
What?
**[20:54] Kakeru**
Please. For the team.
