[03:33] Mom     I see you're staying in the annex     instead of the fancy main hotel. [03:38] Mom     Is that because your school     isn't private, but prefectural?

[10:21] Int_Yamaguchi     But now that I'm a third-year, I understand. [10:24] Int_Yamaguchi     Without that monster Midousuji,      our team would crumble in an instant.

[18:00] Shinkai     I came to the Inter-High to challenge you. [18:05] Shinkai     I was ordered to stop you if you made     a move in the mountains yesterday.

[18:26] Onoda     "Mountain King"? [18:28] Shinkai     It's your nickname. [18:30] Onoda     Nickname? [18:32] (Flashback) Fb_Makishima     My nickname is the Peak Spider! [18:39] Onoda     A nickname? For me? [18:42] Onoda     That's great news! Mountain King, you said? [18:45] Onoda     Is that like "see-king" mountains to climb? [18:49] Onoda     That's not bad at all! [18:51] Onoda     But, an animal... A name with a     bug in it would have been nice. [18:56] Shinkai     No, the supreme king of the mountain,     the ruler of its peak. [19:02] Onoda     The king? [19:05] Int_Onoda     Mountain King? [19:07] Shinkai     You're strong. [19:10] Shinkai     Even yesterday, you broke through     several teams, climbed the mountain, [19:15] Shinkai     and caught up to the leading pack at the end. [19:18] Onoda     N-No, Imaizumi-kun just said I could go. [19:21] Onoda     And Teshima-san helped me, too. [19:23] Onoda     I didn't do anything that great. [19:25] Onoda     It was really a team effort... [19:26] Int_Shinkai     So this is the Mountain King. [19:28] Int_Shinkai     A truly self-unaware climber. [19:30] Onoda     But... [19:31] Onoda     I would really prefer an animal nickname. [19:35] Shinkai     That's what you want? [19:36] Guy     Hey, #16 from Hakone Academy and     the Mountain King are talking!

[20:00] Shinkai     It's "yes," right? [20:02] Onoda     Oh, not that. [20:03] Onoda     Do you have a nickname, too? [20:09] Shinkai     Yes, I do. It's not that famous yet, though.
