SIGN    Raiou Girls Academy Dorm
[00:28] Ichina
    C-Crap!
[00:36] Ichina
    My name is Ichina Saotome!
[00:38] Ichina
    Cafeteria
[00:38] Ichina
    A first-year student at Raiou Girls Academy,
    and a member of the golf club!
[00:43] Ichina
    My dream is to become a top pro caddie.
[00:47] Ichina
    Did you know that top pro
    caddies make a ton of money?
[00:53] Ichina
    A top caddie can make more money than
    some pro tour players will make!
[01:01] Ichina
    So I'm going to Raiou Girls Academy
    to become a top pro caddie...
[01:10] Ichina
    It's gone!
[01:13] Ichina
    T-That's my fifth tardy!
[01:15] Ichina
    The older girls will get mad at me!
[01:23] Amane
    Saotome, what's wrong?
[01:25] Amane
    The bus already left.
[01:28] Ichina
    Shinjo!
[01:30] Ichina
    Hi there.
[01:32] Aoi
    You're late again, Ichina?
[01:34] Aoi
    Coach Amuro might kick you
    off the team at this rate!
[01:39] Ichina
    I don't want him to punch me in the face!
[01:42] Ichina
    Oh, Amawashi!
[01:44] Ichina
    More importantly, about
    that practice match you had...
[01:47] Ichina
    On the 2nd shot for the 6th hole,
[01:49] Ichina
    I think you would've been better
    with the 7 Iron instead of the 8.
[01:55] Aoi
    I see!
[01:58] Amane
    You think my selections
    were less than optimal?
[02:01] Ichina
    No, there was just
    a strong headwind that day,
[02:04] Ichina
    so maybe a 7 would've been better... maybe.
[02:08] Aoi
    Thank you. I'll keep that in mind.
[02:12] Aoi
    Want a ride?
[02:14] Amane
    Aoi, we have a company meeting starting.
[02:18] Amane
    Saotome, I'm sorry, but...
[02:19] Ichina
    No, no. Go on ahead.
[02:22] Ichina
    It's my fault for being late.
[02:26] Aoi
    Sorry.
[02:28] Amane
    Get going.
[02:29] Driver
    Yes, ma'am.
[02:34] Ichina
    That was nerve-wracking. Amawashi's amazing.
[02:38] Ichina
    She's totally bourgeoisie.
[02:42] Aoi
    No sign of her, huh?
[02:44] Amane
    Aoi, I'm starting the meeting.
[02:47] Aoi
    Okay, got it.

[04:23] Ichina
    They're going to make me
    clean the place for being late.
SIGN    Golf Club Building
[04:28] Ichina
    I guess I'll get a head start.
[04:31] Ichina
    I do think that she should've used
    the 7 on the 2nd stroke of the 6th hole.
[04:36] Ichina
    The 7 would've gotten
    her right next to the pin.
[04:39] Haruka
    I agree.
[04:41] Ichina
    Right?
[04:43] Ichina
    Well, the backside of the
    green on Hole 6 is a downslope.
[04:46] Ichina
    So taking the safe route
    with the 8 isn't an awful choice.
[04:50] Ichina
    But golf is about taking risks
    and being aggressive!
[04:52] Ichina
    And getting better at aggression
    is the key to golf, I think!
[04:57] Ichina
    Gweh!
[04:58] Ichina
    H-Haruka?
[05:00] Haruka
    What was that "Gweh" for?
[05:02] Ichina
    W-What are you doing here?
[05:05] Ichina
    Were you late?
[05:07] Haruka
    You're late. I'm skipping.
[05:10] Haruka
    The first-years spend all their time helping
    the older girls. We barely get to touch a club.
[05:15] Haruka
    There's no point in going to the course.
[05:17] Haruka
    Haruka Misono, #3 in the
    country in middle school!
[05:21] Haruka
    When she doesn't want to
    do something, she doesn't, I guess.
[05:24] Haruka
    Oh, if you're skipping,
    will you help me clean?
[05:29] Haruka
    Ichina, be my caddie.
[05:33] Ichina
    No.
SIGN    Practice Course
[05:34] Haruka
    I want your power to read
    the winds and the line.
[05:38] Ichina
    No.
[05:41] Haruka
    I want to beat Aoi Amawashi!
[05:43] Ichina
    Never happening.
[05:45] Haruka
    If you help me, this time
    I can beat Aoi Amawashi—
[05:49] Ichina
    I said it's never happening.
[05:51] Haruka
    Why?
[05:53] Ichina
    Drive distance. Precision. Putting.
[05:56] Ichina
    She's better than you in every aspect.
[06:00] Ichina
    Even if I was your caddie,
[06:01] Ichina
    you're not strong enough
    to beat her right now.
[06:18] Ichina
    T-That was dangerous!
[06:20] Ichina
    Who the hell was that?
[06:25] Ichina
    It went past the bunker,
[06:26] Ichina
    so that's at least 240 yards...
[06:29] Ichina
    And...
[06:30] Ichina
    That low, precise trajectory...
[06:33] Ichina
    I've never seen anything like it!
[06:35] Ichina
    So it's not somebody from the golf club.
[06:38] Ichina
    Who fired that shot?
[06:52] Ichina
    A blonde?!
[06:54] Eve
    Are you from here?
[06:58] Eve
    I asked if you're from here.
[07:00] Eve
    Do you understand what I'm saying?
[07:03] Ichina
    Um, I'm still studying English.
[07:09] Eve
    You from around here?
[07:11] Ichina
    You can speak Japanese?
[07:15] Eve
    I guess I can. Why, I wonder?
[07:19] Haruka
    Hey, that was dangerous!
[07:21] Haruka
    You saw we were in the bunker, didn't you?
[07:24] Eve
    Yeah.
[07:25] Eve
    I was too lazy to go all the way over there,
[07:27] Eve
    so I figured I could get
    your attention this way.
[07:29] Haruka
    You're crazy.
[07:31] Eve
    Anyway...
[07:32] Ichina
    Do that again!
[07:36] Haruka
    Ichina, what are you saying?
[07:37] Ichina
    I want to see your tee shot! Please!
[07:41] Ichina
    Please!
[07:43] Eve
    Okay, I guess...
[07:49] Kinue
    The whole team should be
    at the course today...
[07:56] Eve
    You just want to see my shot, right?
[07:58] Ichina
    Yes. As hard as you can!
[08:01] Eve
    Why am I doing what she wants me to?
[08:05] Eve
    Oh, I get it.
[08:07] Eve
    She reminds me of Lily.
[08:11] Eve
    If you want to see it that bad...
[08:13] Eve
    I'll show it to you!
[08:22] Haruka
    Wow...
[08:24] Haruka
    What is this shot?
[08:32] Kinue
    That trajectory...
[08:34] Eve
    Good enough?
[08:35] Ichina
    Wow! Wow! Wow!
[08:37] Ichina
    That's pro-level!
[08:40] Ichina
    And you're physically strong!
    Look at those abs!
[08:43] Ichina
    And your subscapularis
    and gluteus medius are so soft!
[08:47] Ichina
    So supple!
[08:48] Ichina
    You've got the ideal body to play golf!
[08:53] Ichina
    I'm in love!
[08:56] Eve
    Get off me!
[08:57] Ichina
    I want to touch them! I want to touch them!
[08:59] Eve
    Are you a pervert?
[09:02] Haruka
    By the way, who are you?
[09:04] Haruka
    Outsiders aren't allowed
    inside the school...
[09:07] Eve
    I came to see Aoi Amawashi.
[09:10] Ichina
    Amawashi?
[09:13] Eve
    I looked her up online.
[09:14] Eve
    She's here, isn't she?
[09:16] Ichina
    S-She's a student here, yes.
[09:21] Haruka
    What do you want with her?
[09:24] Eve
    I came to fulfill my promise.
[09:26] Eve
    And continue our game.
[09:28] Haruka
    Continue your game?
[09:30] Eve
    Where is she?
[09:32] Kinue
    You.
[09:33] Kinue
    What are you doing here?
[09:35] Ichina
    C-Club President Jinguji?
[09:38] Haruka
    U-Um, well...
[09:40] Haruka
    She was just out here golfing, and um...
[09:44] Ichina
    I-I don't know why, but she says
    she's here to see Amawashi.
[09:49] Kinue
    What's your name?
[09:52] Eve
    Evangeline F... Kimishima?
[09:56] Eve
    Just call me Eve.
[09:59] Kinue
    Raiou Girls Academy is off limits
[10:01] Kinue
    to anyone not affiliated with the school,
    no matter what their reasons may be.
[10:06] Kinue
    Leave. Now.
[10:08] Eve
    I will, once I see Aoi.
[10:11] Kinue
    Do you not speak Japanese?
[10:13] Eve
    If you want to try force
    to get rid of me, go for it.
[10:17] Eve
    I love that stuff.
[10:19] Haruka
    How dare you act like that to Jinguuji?
[10:22] Ichina
    No violence!
[10:26] Kinue
    You want to see her that bad?
[10:28] Eve
    I promised her.
[10:30] Kinue
    Then play a 1 hole match with Misono.
[10:34] Kinue
    If you win, I'll let you see her.
[10:37] Eve
    Sounds great. I really love that stuff.
[10:40] Haruka
    J-Jinguji, why me?
[10:43] Kinue
    Misono, if you win this match,
[10:46] Kinue
    I'll use my authority as Club
    President to make you a regular.
[10:50] Kinue
    If you hate picking up balls
    and carrying the older girls' bags,
[10:54] Kinue
    show me what you can do.
[10:56] Haruka
    If I win, you'll make me
    a regular for real, right?
[11:00] Kinue
    Are you accusing me of being a liar?
[11:03] Haruka
    I'll do it!
[11:04] Haruka
    I'll win!
[11:06] Eve
    You've got spirit.
[11:08] Ichina
    Club President!
[11:09] Ichina
    Haruka's used to this practice hole,
    but Eve hasn't played it before.
[11:13] Ichina
    So may I be her caddie?
[11:17] Kinue
    Well?
[11:19] Haruka
    I'm fine with that.
[11:20] Haruka
    But if I win, you'll be my personal caddie.
[11:27] Haruka
    Okay?
[11:28] Ichina
    F-Fine.
[11:30] Ichina
    That's okay.
[11:31] Ichina
    Eve, we've gotta win!
[11:34] Ichina
    Let's work together for victory!
[11:36] Eve
    I don't need a caddie!
[11:39] Ichina
    No...! I already promised!
[11:43] Eve
    That's not my problem.
[11:46] Ichina
    Aww!
[11:53] Girls
    Nice shot!
[11:57] Girls
    Nice shot!
[12:01] Amane
    You've been making a lot
    of little mistakes lately, Aoi.
[12:05] Amane
    Fix that.
[12:07] Aoi
    I'm sorry, Amane.
[12:09] Aoi
    I'll do my best.
[12:10] Amane
    She's losing her motivation.
[12:13] Amane
    It's probably that girl...
[12:18] Kinue
    We'll start the 1 hole match.
    Misono has honor.
[12:22] Haruka
    Okay!
[12:24] Haruka
    I don't care how far you can hit the ball.
[12:27] Haruka
    Golf's about more than just drive distance.
[12:31] Haruka
    Especially since this is my home ground.
[12:36] Haruka
    There's no way I can lose!
[12:47] Haruka
    Perfect!
[12:48] Ichina
    Just under 200 yards.
    And near the best possible distance.
[12:52] Ichina
    She'll use a #3 for her next shot.
[12:55] Ichina
    So it's a question of how
    close she can get to the green.
[12:57] Sign
    Eve
[12:57] Sign
    Haruka
[12:58] Ichina
    Eve can hit 240, based off
    that tee shot I just saw.
[13:02] Ichina
    So her best position is...
[13:05] Ichina
    Wait!
[13:06] Ichina
    She's already at address!
[13:09] Eve
    Direct strike...
[13:12] Eve
    Blue Bullet!
[13:22] Eve
    Well? Got a problem?
[13:23] Ichina
    No, none!
[13:25] Ichina
    That's perfect!
[13:26] Ichina
    So perfect I'm starting
    to wonder what I'm good for.
[13:32] Eve
    Oh, uh. Sorry...
[13:35] Haruka
    G-Golf's not about drive distance!
[13:38] Haruka
    It's precision!
[13:41] Kinue
    I'm not so sure.
[13:43] Kinue
    The farther your drive off the tee,
[13:46] Kinue
    the easier your second shot will be.
[13:50] Kinue
    That's right.
[13:51] Kinue
    Drive distance is a critical aspect of golf.
[14:00] Kinue
    Let's see what she can do
    with this second shot.
[14:05] Eve
    Hey...
[14:06] Ichina
    Use the 6.
[14:08] Ichina
    You're sure to get close to the pin.
[14:10] Eve
    If you want to be my caddie,
[14:14] Eve
    learn about how I play golf first.
[14:17] Ichina
    How you play golf?
[14:19] Eve
    Yup.
[14:20] Eve
    My golf is a rainbow bullet.
[14:23] Eve
    This is the red bullet...
[14:28] Eve
    Fire!
[14:33] Ichina
    This shot...
[14:35] Haruka
    What's with that angle?
[14:37] Kinue
    She shoots it straight up into the sky...
[14:40] Eve
    And then I aim for the pin from above.
[14:45] Eve
    This is my...
[14:45] Eve
    Heaven's Red Bullet!
[14:53] Ichina
    You almost got an eagle! Wow!
[14:56] Eve
    It's not amazing.
[14:57] Eve
    At times like this, you say
[15:00] Eve
    "Almost had it!"
[15:02] Haruka
    It's not over yet. I still have my putt.
[15:09] Ichina
    Good work.
[15:10] Eve
    That wasn't even "work".
[15:13] Eve
    Let's see what you can do.
[15:16] Haruka
    I can do this.
[15:18] Haruka
    I've practiced this course so many times.
[15:21] Haruka
    Slice on the upside, hook on the down.
[15:25] Haruka
    It's fine.
[15:26] Haruka
    I can do this!
[15:28] Kinue
    Pathetic.
[15:30] Kinue
    Just two shots have thrown her off her game.
[15:36] Haruka
    Two cups to the left... no, one.
[15:41] Haruka
    No... a little more...
[15:45] Haruka
    The line's blurring! I can't see it!
[15:52] Ichina
    1.5 to the left.
[15:54] Ichina
    If you use 60% of your strength, it'll go in.
[15:59] Haruka
    Ichina...
[16:00] Ichina
    I'm not lying.
[16:02] Ichina
    The rest is up to your skill as a golfer.
[16:11] Eve
    You're a nice girl.
[16:13] Ichina
    Nope.
[16:14] Ichina
    I just want to show you as much
    of my power as a caddie as possible.
[16:22] Ichina
    My ability to read the line.
[16:25] Haruka
    1.5 cups to the left.
[16:27] Haruka
    60% of my power.
[16:40] Eve
    She missed.
[16:42] Ichina
    It's Haruka's fault for not
    being able to pull it off!
[16:44] Ichina
    I was right!
[16:46] Eve
    Well, I don't care which.
[16:52] Eve
    I won.
[16:53] Eve
    Can I see Aoi now?
[16:56] Kinue
    Of course. I'll keep my promise.
[16:59] Kinue
    She should be here.
[17:04] Aoi
    Eve!
[17:08] Aoi
    Eve!
[17:11] Aoi
    Eve!
[17:15] Aoi
    Eve!
[17:17] Eve
    Aoi!
[17:27] Aoi
    Why did you jump?
[17:29] Eve
    I'm not sure...
[17:32] Aoi
    When did you get to Japan?
[17:33] Eve
    Today.
[17:34] Aoi
    You haven't logged into the game at all.
[17:37] Aoi
    I thought you broke your promise again.
[17:40] Eve
    Oh, um... sorry.
[17:42] Eve
    A lot's happened.
[17:45] Aoi
    Fine. I forgive you.
[17:47] Eve
    Thanks.
[17:49] Aoi
    So, where are you staying?
[17:51] Eve
    I haven't decided yet.
[17:53] Aoi
    You can stay in my room, then!
[17:55] Eve
    No thank you!
[17:56] Aoi
    Do you hate me?
[17:58] Eve
    I don't like you or hate you.
[18:00] Aoi
    That's so mean!
[18:01] Ichina
    Is this who Aoi actually is?
[18:02] Eve
    I can find my own room!
[18:04] Aoi
    You can't! It'll be really hard!
[18:06] Aoi
    Why don't you have a plan?
[18:07] Amane
    I can't believe she came to Japan.
[18:10] Amuro
    That's her.
[18:12] Kinue
    Coach.
[18:13] Amuro
    The girl who appeared in the last day
    of the Nafrece U15 Women's Championship.
[18:20] Amuro
    Her name was...
[18:22] Amuro
    Eve Aleon, is that right?
[18:25] Kinue
    For some reason, she's now
    Evangeline F. Kimishima.
[18:30] Amuro
    You had her play a match
    to see what she could do, right?
[18:34] Kinue
    Yes.
[18:35] Amuro
    And she crushed Haruka Misono,
    the first year, is that right?
[18:42] Kinue
    It's too early to start being cocky.
[18:45] Amuro
    What did the doctors say?
[18:48] Kinue
    Two months for a full recovery.
[18:52] Amuro
    That's not good.
[18:55] Aoi
    Come on, Eve! My room's this way!
[18:58] Eve
    W-What about our game?
[19:00] Aoi
    Practice is done for today,
    so let's do it tomorrow.
[19:04] Aoi
    Amane will yell at me again
    if I disobey orders.
[19:07] Eve
    H-Hey!
[19:08] Aoi
    Just come on!
[19:10] Eve
    No, seriously...
[19:12] Girls
    W-Who's the blonde?
[19:15] Girls
    Seems like somebody Amawashi knows.
[19:18] Ichina
    Shinjo.
[19:20] Ichina
    Um, who is Eve?
[19:24] Amane
    I can't say.
[19:25] Amane
    Some things even I don't know.
[19:28] Ichina
    I see...
[19:30] Ichina
    This is how Eve and I met.
[19:33] Ichina
    The day that was the beginning
    of my becoming a true pro caddie.
[19:46] Eve
    What am I doing?
[19:49] Aoi
    Hey, Eve?
[19:52] Aoi
    How long are you going to be in Japan?
[19:55] Eve
    I haven't decided.
[19:56] Aoi
    Taking a solo vacation?
[19:59] Eve
    Nope.
[20:00] Eve
    It's complicated.
    I can't go back to Nafrece.
[20:04] Aoi
    What do you mean?
[20:06] Eve
    I can't say why.
[20:08] Aoi
    What about your family?
[20:09] Eve
    I don't have any.
[20:11] Aoi
    I see... I see.
[20:16] Eve
    Klein, Lily, and the others...
[20:18] Eve
    Are they doing well?
[20:38] Aoi
    Hey, Eve,
[20:40] Aoi
    if you don't have anywhere to go,
    I have a suggestion...
[20:45] Eve
    First, our game!
[20:47] Aoi
    P-Put some clothes on!
[20:49] Eve
    Let's go out and play right now!
[20:52] Aoi
    Put some clothes on!
[20:53] Eve
    Why do you think I came to Japan?
[20:55] Aoi
    Clothes! Put on some clothes!
[20:58] Aoi
    I'm seeing things I shouldn't see!
[21:00] Eve
    I don't care!
[21:01] Amane
    Things keep getting worse...
[21:04] Eve
    Come on!
[22:39] Emily
    Bye!
[22:41] Charlotte/Jessica
    Bye!
[22:43] Lily
    Study hard, kiddos!
[22:46] Kids
    Okay!
[22:48] Emily
    What will we do today?
[22:49] Kids
    What will we do?
[22:51] Lily
    Sheesh.
[22:52] Lily
    It's too early in the morning
    for that level of noise.
[22:54] Klein
    They like going to school.
[22:57] Lily
    I wouldn't go if you asked me to!
[23:02] Lily
    Hey, do you think Eve made it to Japan?
[23:06] Klein
    It's fine.
[23:08] Klein
    She's not a kid anymore.
[23:10] Lily
    What's she doing now, I wonder?
[23:17] Teacher
    So this is sudden, but we
    have a new transfer student.
[23:21] Teacher
    Can you introduce yourself?
[23:23] Eve
    Um...
[23:26] Eve
    I'm Evangeline F. Kimi... shima.
[23:30] Eve
    Nice to meet you all.
[23:32] Teacher
    Shh! Be quiet!
[23:35] Eve
    Really, what am I doing?
