Tadokoro claims he is giving everyone a handicap so they can race him, but as he leaves he is unable to climb at full strength. Makishima tells Onoda and Naruko that they must leave him behind, and when they keep pestering him he finally reveals that Tadokoro has fallen ill. Instead of listening to Makishima, Onoda reminds Makishima of the orders he has been given. Onoda remains behind while Naruko and Makishima keep moving on. Tadokoro finally catches up to Onoda, and Onoda convinces him to help him on the chorus of the Love Hime opening song, Love Princess Pancake. By singing the chorus/refrain continually they slowly begin to catch up and end up with the pack. Meanwhile Hakone Academy's entire team has caught up to their ace, and Kyoto Fushimi has pullen away from the pack to join Midosuji. Midosuji tells Imaizumi that all the players are here as he claims Sohoku has made a fatal judging error in not saving anyone for Day 2.
3日間中、最も長いステージであるインターハイ2日目がスタートした。坂道は自分に与えられた“チーム全員を引いて峠を登り、できるだけ早く金城と今泉に追いつく”というオーダーを胸に、気合を入れて走りはじめる。しかし、前日に体調を崩していた田所は、一人、スタートできずに立ち尽くしていた…!
3일간 중, 가장 긴 스테이지가 있는 전국 체전 둘째 날이 시작했다. 사카미치는 자신에게 주어진 " 팀 전원을 이끌고 고개를 넘어, 가능한 한 빨리 킨조와 이마이즈미를 따라 잡는다" 라는 지시를 가슴에 새기고 기합을 넣고 달리기 시작한다. 하지만 전 날, 몸 상태가 망가진 타도코로는 홀로 스타트 하지 못하고 내내 서 있는다...!
