Then Shimizu shows up at the B&B explaining that his name is no longer just Shimuzu, but rather "the Shimuzu who only got to compete in the Olympics because Sakurai got injured." Yuuko overhears, and spreads the news around town, so now everywhere Hiromi goes he is showered with free gifts from worshiping fans. Shimizu tells Kaito that going to the Olympics had always been his dream. Shimizu had gone to the hospital to visit Hiromi, but he could tell that Hiromi was supporting him, making it harder to hate him. Shimizu says Hiromi was a natural, a true champion. Shimuzu challenges Hiromi to a swim off, and the whole town gathers at the high school swimming pool. Everyone waits to see what Hiromi will do, until he finally has to explain that swimming had never been his dream. Masaru tells him to go face Shimizu in a race, to settle things. Hiromi goes, and apparently tries his best, but Shimizu wins. The local cab driver offers Shimizu a ride to the station for free, perhaps the first time he has been treated with respect. Fujiko finally shows up, and Hiromi drags her into the ocean. Haruko finally realizes that Makoto has a crush on Hiromi. Written by DonG See less
