**[00:32] Amane**
A gentle breeze from the front left.
**[00:34] Amane**
It won't have much effect.
**[00:36] Amane**
With this pin position, you should aim right
of the fairway, at a distance of 220 yards.
**[00:42] Aoi**
Amane, let me try this.
**[00:45] Amane**
The 48-inch?
**[00:47] Amane**
No, Aoi!
**[00:48] Amane**
You're still growing.
**[00:50] Amane**
You should wait for your body
to finish growing to use it!
**[00:54] Aoi**
I want to use it anyway!
**[00:56] Amane**
Don't forget that the goal of this practice match
is to get you ready for the tournament.
**[01:01] Aoi**
When I get back to school,
my match with Eve awaits.
**[01:04] Aoi**
I'm going to need this club then.
**[01:06] Amane**
Which is more important, your match
with that girl or the tournament?
**[01:11] Aoi**
Both are important, of course.
**[01:13] Amane**
You really don't listen...
**[01:17] Aoi**
Mom used to tell me...
**[01:19] Aoi**
That selfish golfers are stronger.
**[01:25] Aoi**
*Let's go, Pakkun.*
**[01:27] Aoi**
*When we get back,*
**[01:31] Aoi**
*we can play golf with Eve!*
**[01:33] Aoi**
*With Eve...*
**[01:39] Gozo**
Nice shot, Aoi.
**[01:42] Aoi**
Grandfather!
**[03:18] Gozo**
You finished with a total of -12 under, huh?
**[03:22] Gozo**
That birdie at the end was well-done.
**[03:25] Gozo**
The way you continue to strive
to improve yourself...
**[03:28] Gozo**
Your play-style is just like your mother's.
**[03:34] Gozo**
So, what are you so mad about?
**[03:37] Aoi**
I'm not mad.
**[03:41] Gozo**
She's mad, right?
**[03:44] Amane**
You can always play a match with her!
**[03:47] Amane**
No pouting!
**[03:50] Maid**
Excuse me.
**[03:54] Maid**
Here you are.
**[03:59] Aoi**
Grandfather, this cake...
**[04:02] Aoi**
It's from that place I love in Hokkaido!
**[04:06] Gozo**
I had it brought specially for you.
**[04:08] Gozo**
Eat up.
**[04:11] Aoi**
Thank you so much!
**[04:20] Aoi**
It's so good!
**[04:22] Gozo**
Is it? Go on! Eat up!
**[04:25] Aoi**
Okay!
**[04:28] Amane**
*She's a child...*
**[04:30] Amane**
**Just *a child...*
**[04:38] Aoi**
Good boy!
**[04:39] Gozo**
I heard a rumor that the club president,
Kinue Jinguji, was injured.
**[04:46] Aoi**
Go!
**[04:46] Amane**
The epicondylitis in her left
arm took a turn for the worse.
**[04:51] Gozo**
Golfer's elbow, huh?
**[04:53] Aoi**
Come on!
**[04:53] Gozo**
So she won't be appearing
in the doubles, then?
**[04:57] Amane**
Most likely.
**[04:59] Gozo**
Seira created that tournament
just to make Aoi famous.
**[05:06] Gozo**
She can't be allowed to lose.
**[05:10] Amane**
Yes, I understand.
**[05:12] Gozo**
Coach Amuro dodges the
question when I bring it up.
**[05:16] Gozo**
That's why I brought you here.
**[05:18] Aoi**
Over here! Come!
**[05:19] Gozo**
I'll just ask you straight.
**[05:21] Gozo**
Is anyone in that club good
enough to play alongside Aoi?
**[05:25] Gozo**
Someone who's sure to win.
**[05:28] Amane**
Just one, in my personal opinion.
**[05:32] Amane**
A girl whose golf is sharp,
like a whetted knife.
**[05:37] Gozo**
And her name?
**[05:39] Amane**
Eve.
**[05:40] Amane**
No...
**[05:42] Amane**
Evangeline F. Kimishima.

**[05:52] Amuro**
You two don't need to join
the rest of the girls for practice.
**[05:55] Amuro**
Eve's past the point where
she needs tips on technique.
**[05:59] Amuro**
Instead, I want you to get
used to a Japanese course.
**[06:03] Amuro**
Japanese wind. Grass.
The depth of the rough.
**[06:06] Amuro**
The state of the green.
**[06:08] Amuro**
Learn it until it's second nature.
**[06:11] Amuro**
And here.
**[06:13] Amuro**
Learn to master these clubs.
**[06:17] Ichina**
These are Athens' best models!
**[06:21] Ichina**
Type-E Titanium on the driver face!
**[06:23] Ichina**
Next-gen "Necklace" carbon on the shaft!
**[06:25] Ichina**
And the iron's made of hybrid tungsten!
**[06:28] Eve**
Is that impressive?
**[06:29] Ichina**
Impressive, and impressively expensive!
**[06:31] Ichina**
By the way, Amawashi uses
a custom model of the same type.
**[06:35] Ichina**
Like Char's custom model.
**[06:38] Eve**
The same as Aoi, huh?
**[06:41] Amuro**
I've reserved the Athens Golf Course
for you for three days.
**[06:44] Amuro**
Play all you like.
**[06:46] Ichina**
Athens Golf Course?
**[06:48] Ichina**
Do you mean...
**[06:50] Amuro**
Saotome, you help Eve.
**[06:53] Ichina**
O-Okay, got it!
**[06:59] Kinue**
Come on, let's go.
**[07:00] Ichina**
Club President Jinguji! I-Is your arm okay?
**[07:05] Kinue**
Just get in the car.
**[07:12] Kinue**
*Coach Amuro!*
**[07:14] (Flashback) Kinue**
Let me go, too!
**[07:17] (Flashback) Amuro**
Planning to bully Eve?
**[07:19] (Flashback) Kinue**
Her golf is still an unknown to me.
**[07:23] (Flashback) Kinue**
There are things that even I,
**[07:24] (Flashback) Kinue**
no, especially I can do.
**[07:30] (Flashback) Amuro**
Alright.
**[07:32] (Flashback) Amuro**
She's a diamond in the rough. Go polish her.
**[07:34] (Flashback) Amuro**
But...
**[07:43] Ichina**
The real thing is totally different...
**[07:46] Ichina**
Rub, rub, rub, rub.
**[07:55] Aoi**
Eve's not here?
**[07:57] Girl**
Her teacher said she's been
given a 3-day excused absence.
**[08:01] Girl**
Saotome's with her.
**[08:05] Aoi**
How long...
**[08:08] Aoi**
... is this going to keep happening?
**[08:12] Sign**
Hole 5 175 Yards Par 3
**[08:13] Ichina**
Hole 5 is 175 yards with a Par 3.
**[08:18] Ichina**
With your strength, a 5
will be more than good enough.
**[08:22] Ichina**
Watch out for the bunker
on the left of the green.
**[08:29] Kinue**
*She's strong enough...*
**[08:32] Kinue**
*And has a strong core.*
**[08:34] Kinue**
*And then she unleashes...*
**[08:39] Kinue**
*that piercing trajectory.*
**[08:48] Ichina**
Nice work, Eve!
**[08:50] Eve**
I'm not used to the clubs yet.
**[08:52] Ichina**
You've gotten 2 birdies in 5 holes.
**[08:55] Ichina**
Pretty good for your first round.
**[09:01] Ichina**
P-President?
**[09:08] Eve**
What is this? Bullying?
**[09:10] Kinue**
I heard you met Kaoruko Iijima from Koran.
**[09:15] Eve**
And?
**[09:16] Kinue**
If you want to fight her,
**[09:18] Kinue**
you'll need to be able to
overcome a handicap like this.
**[09:22] Eve**
You're testing me?
**[09:24] Kinue**
Interpret it however you want.
**[09:26] Eve**
Sand wedge.
**[09:28] Ichina**
O-Okay!
**[09:30] Eve**
I've got a whole rainbow's worth of bullets.
**[09:35] Kinue**
Show me you're more than just talk.
**[09:44] Ichina**
Eve, you're too high!
**[09:46] Ichina**
Aim for the—
**[09:47] Eve**
Don't tell me to aim for the right.
**[09:49] Eve**
If you want to be my caddie.
**[09:53] Eve**
You're going to get hit.
**[09:55] Kinue**
If you can get it out, that is, right?
**[09:58] Eve**
When people want a fight,
I always give them more...
**[10:01] Eve**
...than they bargained for.
**[10:04] Eve**
*This is my yellow bullet!*
**[10:07] Eve**
*Escaping...*
**[10:10] Eve**
*Yellow Bullet!*
**[10:15] Ichina**
Nice!
**[10:20] Kinue**
Good work.
**[10:21] Kinue**
But that angle and speed
would've taken you off the green.
**[10:28] Kinue**
Again.
**[10:30] Eve**
You little...
**[10:34] Eve**
*Escaping...*
**[10:36] Eve**
*Yellow Bullet!*
**[10:50] Kinue**
You're getting too tense.
**[10:52] Eve**
When did you—
**[10:54] Ichina**
I didn't even see her move...
**[10:56] Kinue**
Amawashi could get out of this easily.
**[11:00] Kinue**
Of course...
**[11:04] Kinue**
So can I.
**[11:06] Ichina**
*The sand barely moved!*
**[11:08] Ichina**
*Her touch is so soft and delicate...*
**[11:14] Ichina**
Right in front of the pin.
**[11:16] Kinue**
Mizuho Himekawa would've
gotten it in the hole.
**[11:20] Eve**
Who's that?
**[11:23] Kinue**
Mizuho Himekawa.
**[11:24] Kinue**
Nadaminami Girls' unbeatable ace.
**[11:28] Kinue**
The strongest Japanese high school golfer.
**[11:30] Kinue**
She won the All-Japan
Women's Amateur last year.
**[11:34] Kinue**
The wall you're about
to challenge is very tall.
**[11:38] Kinue**
Do you think you can jump over it?
**[11:41] Eve**
Jump over it?
**[11:43] Eve**
Of course not.
**[11:47] Eve**
*Escaping...*
**[11:50] Eve**
*Yellow Bullet!*
**[12:13] Ichina**
It went in!
**[12:16] Eve**
I'll blast right through that wall...
**[12:19] Eve**
...with my bullets!
**[14:13] Eve**
You're a sadist, you know that?
**[14:16] Kinue**
I get that a lot.
**[14:18] Kinue**
Now, finish by playing
a 1 hole match with me.
**[14:22] Eve**
I'll make you wish you'd never said that.
**[14:24] Kinue**
I return those words to you.
**[14:30] Kinue**
The most important part of a shot is how you transfer
your power through the club and into the ball.
**[14:42] Ichina**
That's past 220!
**[14:44] Ichina**
With that swing speed...
**[14:49] Kinue**
Are you just going to swing
as hard as you can again?
**[14:52] Eve**
Yeah, I sure am.
**[14:55] Eve**
You need to load the
bullet with gunpowder...
**[14:58] Eve**
Or it won't fly!
**[15:07] Eve**
More! More!
**[15:11] Eve**
Pass through the wall!
**[15:17] Eve**
How about that?
**[15:18] Kinue**
Do you think a shot like
that will throw me off my game?
**[15:23] Eve**
I see.
**[15:26] Kinue**
For the second shot,
**[15:29] Kinue**
there's a hill going right
diagonally across the green.
**[15:32] Kinue**
I aim... for the far left of the green!
**[15:45] Kinue**
Now the chance of a birdie goes way up.
**[15:48] Eve**
I don't like playing that way.
**[15:50] Eve**
If you ask me, you gave
up your chance at an eagle.
**[15:59] Eve**
*Just aim for the cup.*
**[16:02] Eve**
*That's the golf I've always played.*
**[16:07] Ichina**
Eve, aim for the top half of the green.
**[16:11] Ichina**
Just smash it in.
**[16:14] Eve**
Now you're getting it.
**[16:16] Ichina**
You're easy to understand.
**[16:19] Kinue**
*Yes, that's right.*
**[16:22] Kinue**
* I didn't spend the last*
* three days teaching you golf.*
**[16:27] Kinue**
* I wanted to see your*
* resolve... and your light...*
**[16:37] Kinue**
*I'm a weed.*
**[16:39] Kinue**
*No matter how much effort I put in,*
**[16:42] Kinue**
*I'll never be more than "very good."*
**[16:45] Kinue**
* I wanted to be the person*
* he wanted me to be...*
**[16:55] Kinue**
* I overdid it so much,*
* I destroyed my left elbow.*
**[17:00] Kinue**
*I doused the light I was given.*
**[17:09] Kinue**
*So show me...*
**[17:12] Kinue**
*That you and Amawashi are different!*
**[17:15] Kinue**
* You are the chosen,*
* born with a light of your own...*
**[17:20] Kinue**
*And a strong will that can never be broken.*
**[17:24] Kinue**
*You'll trample on a weed and keep going...*
**[17:29] Kinue**
*And I am that weed.*
**[17:38] (Flashback) Amuro**
Alright.
**[17:39] (Flashback) Amuro**
She's a diamond in the rough. Go polish her.
**[17:42] (Flashback) Amuro**
But don't go too far.
**[17:44] (Flashback) Kinue**
No, I will.
**[17:46] (Flashback) Amuro**
Do you intend to quit golf?
**[17:50] (Flashback) Kinue**
Coach, thank you for spending so much
effort on a talentless person like me.
**[17:57] (Flashback) Kinue**
It's thanks to you that
I was able to jump this high.
**[18:03] (Flashback) Kinue**
The doctors told me that even if my
left elbow gets better, it may come back.
**[18:10] (Flashback) Kinue**
I can't... jump any higher.
**[18:15] (Flashback) Kinue**
I'll entrust the dream I can
never have to Amawashi and Eve!
**[18:24] (Flashback) Amuro**
Alright.
**[18:26] (Flashback) Amuro**
But I want you to stay
on as captain of the golf club.
**[18:29] (Flashback) Amuro**
I need you here.
**[18:32] (Flashback) Kinue**
I will... I will!
**[18:40] Amuro**
Kazuhiko, I'm a monster.
**[18:44] Amuro**
I forced her to hurt herself,
to let that girl win.
**[18:50] Amuro**
But I want that girl to win,
no matter what...
**[18:53] Amuro**
For that to happen, I'll...
**[18:57] Gozo**
I see.
**[18:58] Gozo**
You've made your choice, then.
**[19:01] Amuro**
*Yes. I'm sorry it took so long.*
**[19:04] Gozo**
Jinguji was a good golfer, wasn't she?
**[19:08] Amuro**
*It's entirely my fault.*
**[19:11] Gozo**
I'll be expecting a win at the championship.
**[19:14] Amuro**
*Of course.*
**[19:20] Amuro**
Everyone, gather up.
**[19:23] Amuro**
I'm going to announce our
players for next month's
**[19:28] Amuro**
All-Japan Girls High School
Golf Doubles Championship.
**[19:30] Amuro**
The first player will be
Aoi Amawashi from year 1.
**[19:34] Aoi**
Thank you, sir!
**[19:35] Haruka**
Coach!
**[19:36] Amuro**
Just so everyone's clear,
I chose her for her golfing ability.
**[19:41] Amuro**
Not who her family is.
**[19:45] Amuro**
Is there a problem?
**[19:46] Haruka**
No, nothing.
**[19:48] Amuro**
The second is...
**[19:51] Kinue**
I apologize for being late.
**[19:55] Amuro**
The second player will be
Evangeline F. Kimishima.
**[20:00] Girls**
No way!
**[20:01] Ichina**
Whoa!
**[20:02] Eve**
What?
**[20:04] Kinue**
You're going to the championship.
**[20:06] Ichina**
R-Really? Isn't this awesome, Eve?
**[20:09] Eve**
Yeah...
**[20:11] Kinue**
Now you can fight...
**[20:13] Kinue**
both Kaoruko Iijima from Koran
and Mizuho Himekawa from Nada.
**[20:19] Eve**
That sounds fun.
**[20:21] Aoi**
Let's do this, Eve.
**[20:23] Amuro**
Still, I'm sure some of you
are doubtful that Evangeline,
**[20:28] Amuro**
who just joined, is the right choice.
**[20:31] Amuro**
Amawashi, Eve.
**[20:32] Amuro**
Go to the practice hole
and play a 1 hole match.
**[20:35] Amuro**
Play a game that impresses
the other members.
**[20:38] Aoi**
Yes, sir.
**[20:39] Amuro**
Show me your power.
**[20:40] Eve**
Sure thing.
**[20:45] Eve**
It's been a long time.
**[20:47] Eve**
But we can finally play.
**[20:49] Aoi**
You just disappeared on me!
**[20:51] Eve**
So did you!
**[20:59] Amuro**
Just start.
**[21:02] Aoi**
Who gets honor?
**[21:04] Eve**
Let's both shoot at the same time.
It can be a driving contest.
**[21:09] Eve**
The 48-incher here, huh?
**[21:12] Eve**
You're serious, huh?
**[21:13] Aoi**
So are you.
**[21:17] Aoi**
*Now let's go, Pakkun...*
**[21:19] Eve**
*Direct strike...*
**[21:22] Eve**
*Blue Bullet!*
**[23:08] Aoi**
That sure was a close
birdie for you, huh, Eve?
**[23:11] Eve**
A birdie's a birdie!
**[23:12] Eve**
Don't hassle me just 'cause
you lost the driving contest.
**[23:16] Aoi**
I-I hadn't warmed up 'cause
I wasn't expecting a match...
**[23:19] Eve**
Your 48-incher's crying.
**[23:24] Aoi**
I'm better close to the pin.
**[23:27] Eve**
Well, that's not what we were doing.
**[23:28] Ichina**
Will a pair like this...
**[23:30] Aoi**
Eve, do you not like me?
**[23:30] Amane**
...be able to win?
**[23:32] Eve**
I don't like you or dislike you.
**[23:34] Aoi**
What does that mean?
**[23:35] Eve**
Right, right.
**[23:36] Aoi**
Why are you so mean?
**[23:38] Eve**
Eve?
**[23:39] Sign**
Next Episode
**[23:40] Amane**
Saotome, are Aoi and Eve okay together?
**[23:43] Ichina**
Amawashi is one thing,
but Eve's aggressive...
**[23:45] Ichina**
She already picked a fight
with another school!
**[23:47] Amane**
More Birdie Birdie next week!
