Hirokazu asks Akatsuki what he's been thinking. Akitsuki tells him that he just wants to focus on winning the relay and not worry about his feelings for Asahina. He's also worried about the other relay guys, since they're so angry at him for dropping the baton. He tells them to get their stuff together and go to the park where the relay is taking place. He also tells them not to worry about what other people think of them, since the track team is closed. Ashikarino asks why Hirokaze is taking his clothes off, and he says that it's because he hasn't been able to get the timing right with the relay team. He says that he stayed on the team just because he was told to do so by Hashiba. He then asks why he didn't just break up with Asadahina, and she says that she was "a pain in the asses" . He doesn't believe her, but he promises to tell her what he said.
