**[00:05] ---**
I'm not good with talking to other people.
**[00:10] ---**
I can never think of anything
interesting or clever to say.
**[00:15] ---**
That guy...
**[00:16] ---**
That's why he messed up.
**[00:18] ---**
What the heck is that?
**[00:20] ---**
He'll never learn his lesson.
**[00:21] ---**
He's such a pain.
**[00:23] ---**
But you know...
**[00:25] ---**
Yeah.
**[00:33] ---**
But here...
**[00:36] ---**
...that doesn't make a difference.
**[02:11] ---**
That day, like any other, I waited
**[02:13] [SONG] ---**
Looking For a Fight
**[02:14] ---**
for someone to say, "Let's fight!"
**[02:27] ---**
Um, do you want to?
**[02:35] ---**
Y-Yes...
**[02:39] ---**
Let's see... I'll go with...
**[02:44] ---**
...this.
**[02:45] ---**
Stand up,
**[02:46] ---**
Vanguard!
**[02:54] ---**
C-Cute!
**[02:57] ---**
What is this throbbing in my chest?
**[03:00] ---**
I ride Battle Cupid, Nociel!
**[03:04] ---**
I attack your Vanguard!
**[03:10] ---**
W-What is this warm feeling?
**[03:18] ---**
No doubt!
**[03:20] ---**
I ride Dudley Mason!
**[03:23] ---**
And then...
**[03:25] ---**
...I attack your Vanguard!
***SIGN*** Turn 18 Vortex Cupid
**[03:38] ---**
...I attack your Vanguard!
**[03:47] ---**
N-No, never mind! Forget that!
**[03:53] ---**
So the next thing you know,
this card was on the table...
**[03:59] ---**
Apparently she had something to do,
**[04:03] ---**
and rushed off right
after our fight finished.
**[04:07] ---**
I've been coming to the shop
every day since then,
**[04:09] ---**
and I've asked Kamui if he's seen
a girl like her, but...
**[04:14] ---**
If you at least knew her name...
**[04:17] ---**
You didn't even ask her name?
**[04:21] ---**
For now, I've got the details down.
**[04:24] ---**
I'll take your quest.
**[04:28] ---**
In short, I have to track down the owner
of this card and return it to her, right?
**[04:33] ---**
Uh...
**[04:34] ---**
Y-Yeah, but...
**[04:37] ---**
That's not what it's about!
**[04:40] ---**
You two!
**[04:41] ---**
Sheesh, you're dense, Shindou.
**[04:45] ---**
After hearing his story, don't you get it?
**[04:47] ---**
Get what?!
**[04:49] ---**
The point is, this guy...
**[04:51] ---**
I'm Ogawa.
**[04:53] ---**
Ogawa fought that girl just once and
fell in love with her at first sight.
**[04:57] ---**
He's saying he wants to see her again.
**[04:59] ---**
Hey! Don't announce it to everybody...
**[05:10] ---**
The beginning of love from one card...
**[05:13] ---**
Vanguard brought those two
together and guided them.
**[05:17] ---**
It's like a movie,
so what's wrong with that?
**[05:22] ---**
I don't get it.
**[05:23] ---**
At a time like this,
you have to picture it, Shindou.
**[05:42] ---**
Zing!
**[05:55] ---**
That's some attack!
**[05:57] ---**
You're missing the point.
**[05:59] ---**
In other words, this isn't about finding
the owner and returning the card.
**[06:05] ---**
Reuniting the two of them
and acting as a go-between.
**[06:09] ---**
That's the true purpose of this quest.
**[06:13] ---**
What a pain.
**[06:15] ---**
And what are you guys doing here, anyway?
**[06:18] ---**
What? You're the last one.
**[06:20] ---**
You're the third person
to sign up for the quest.
**[06:26] ---**
Hey!
**[06:27] ---**
What? You're not going to drop out?
**[06:29] ---**
If you're not into it,
you don't have to force yourself.
**[06:32] ---**
This is my quest!
**[06:36] ---**
Hey, who are you asking to do this?
**[06:38] ---**
Well, to be honest,
**[06:40] ---**
if I can see her again,
I don't care who helps me.
**[06:44] ---**
Then, whoever finds her
and brings us together
**[06:49] ---**
will have completed the quest...
**[06:51] ---**
So the early bird catches the worm.
**[06:53] ---**
This is a fight, too.
**[06:55] ---**
With no hard feelings.
**[07:00] ---**
At any rate, all we have to go on is
that she's our age and uses Angel Feather.
**[07:05] ---**
That's not enough information.
**[07:07] ---**
Do you remember anything else about her?
**[07:11] ---**
Anything is fine.
**[07:13] ---**
C-Come to think of it...
**[07:15] ---**
Come to think of it...?
**[07:17] ---**
Her bag had a Euro League
Olivier Gaillard mascot doll attached.
**[07:23] ---**
Olivier Gaillard?
**[07:32] ---**
There's no way you can beat him.
**[07:37] ---**
Sheesh. And here I thought it was a simple
quest about returning a forgotten card.
**[07:43] ---**
Hey! That's our only clue.
**[07:47] ---**
So don't keep it all to yourself.
**[07:49] ---**
Why, do you have a lead?
**[07:51] ---**
Of course not.
**[07:52] ---**
But a problem like this isn't daunting
in the least to Tokoha Anjou.
**[07:58] ---**
You're as passionate about quests
as you are with fights, huh?
**[08:03] ---**
What do you intend to do?
**[08:05] ---**
You'll see...
**[08:10] ---**
All right. That'll do it.
**[08:15] ---**
I put in a new quest.
**[08:17] ---**
Quest?
**[08:19] [SONG] ---**
Shion K
Royal Paladin
Angel Feather Users Unite!
**[08:22] ---**
I see.
**[08:29] ---**
What a sight!
**[08:31] ---**
An Angel Feather festival!
**[08:33] ---**
Noisy...
**[08:37] ---**
Thank you for gathering here today, everyone.
**[08:41] ---**
He's even cuter in person!
**[08:44] ---**
He's so handsome!
**[08:45] ---**
Maybe a younger man is for me...
**[08:47] ---**
I wanted to take a look at various
Angel Feather decks and cards,
**[08:51] ---**
so if you don't mind,
can I ask you a few questions?
**[08:54] ---**
This is tedious.
**[08:56] ---**
Why don't you just ask,
"Did you leave this card behind?"
**[09:00] ---**
Dope. If someone says, "It's mine,"
**[09:03] ---**
then he'll have to give it to her right away.
**[09:06] ---**
Then we wouldn't be able to set up
a meeting with the client, right?
**[09:09] ---**
You didn't realize that?
**[09:12] ---**
What kind of cards do you have?
**[09:14] ---**
Do you use Battle Cupid, Nociel?
**[09:17] ---**
Nociel? I don't use that one...
**[09:21] ---**
Oh, I see. Do any of you use that card?
**[09:24] ---**
Hey, that aside, let's fight!
**[09:28] ---**
Great idea! Me, too!
**[09:30] ---**
Me, too!
**[09:33] ---**
No, that's not why I'm here...
**[09:36] ---**
P-Please listen to me!
**[09:39] ---**
That guy...
**[09:40] ---**
The schemer drowns in his own scheme.
**[09:48] ---**
She always helps at a time
like that, you know?
**[09:53] ---**
That's a cute unit, isn't it?
**[09:55] ---**
I know, right?
**[09:56] ---**
And she's really useful, too!
**[09:59] ---**
That's right!
**[10:00] ---**
Thank you.
**[10:02] ---**
You're calculating.
**[10:05] ---**
It's being smart, not calculating.
**[10:08] ---**
Sorry, but I'm going to achieve this quest.
**[10:12] ---**
Um, excuse me...
**[10:14] ---**
I can do that!
**[10:17] ---**
Hey, I wanna ask you something.
**[10:20] ---**
Hey, listen...
**[10:25] ---**
Why are they running away?
**[10:28] ---**
Then maybe you should try to
come off a little more friendly.
**[10:35] ---**
Why not follow Anjou-san's example?
**[10:38] ---**
Do you know anyone who uses
Angel Feather and is a fan of him?
**[10:43] ---**
No...
**[10:44] ---**
A fan of Olivier Gaillard?
**[10:47] ---**
I may have fought her once before.
**[10:49] ---**
Really?!
**[10:52] ---**
Yeah.
**[10:53] ---**
I thought it was unusual.
**[10:56] ---**
A lot of Gaillard fans use
Gold Paladin like he does,
**[10:59] ---**
but Angel Feather...?
**[11:02] ---**
Was that girl really a Gaillard fan?
**[11:04] ---**
I'm sure of it.
**[11:06] ---**
After all, she had a Gaillard
mascot doll attached to her bag.
**[11:10] ---**
I see! Did she talk about herself?
**[11:13] ---**
I believe she said her father ran a clinic.
**[11:17] ---**
Well, I just met her that one time,
**[11:19] ---**
so I don't really remember well.
**[11:27] ---**
Let's see...
**[11:28] ---**
She fought here, but she's
not a regular at the shop,
**[11:32] ---**
so she probably doesn't
live in the neighborhood.
**[11:35] ---**
"Clinics"...
**[11:38] ---**
Kamui, are you on their side?
**[11:41] ---**
Come on, don't sulk just because I let them
borrow a map and the store's computer.
**[11:45] ---**
All right, fine. For you...
***SIGN*** Know-It-All Phone Book
**[11:51] ---**
You're telling me to go
through the phone book?
**[11:53] ---**
You wanna raise your grade, right?
**[11:55] ---**
Then quit complaining and start searching.
**[11:58] ---**
Fine, but why only me?
**[12:01] ---**
If you stand around grumbling,
they'll get the jump on you.
**[12:14] ---**
This is getting interesting.
**[12:43] ---**
I don't mind you following me,
**[12:44] ---**
but maybe you could at least help.
**[12:47] ---**
I'm the one who found that clue.
**[12:50] ---**
I just happen to be walking this way.
**[12:55] ---**
If you guys feel like cooperating,
**[12:58] ---**
I thought we could split up.
***SIGN*** Local Clinics
**[13:01] ---**
Which one of these do you think it is?
**[13:04] ---**
There are that many?!
**[13:06] ---**
If we call each and every one of them...
**[13:08] ---**
"Miss, do you play Vanguard?"
**[13:11] ---**
"What clan do you use?"
**[13:13] ---**
"Did you happen to lose
a card one month ago?"
**[13:18] ---**
I imagine it'd result in
a huge phone bill...
**[13:21] ---**
Yeah...
**[13:24] ---**
I guess all we can do is go door-to-door...
**[13:28] ---**
By the way, do you intend
to take that with you?
**[13:31] ---**
It's not like I can throw it away.
**[13:33] ---**
That being said,
**[13:35] ---**
at this rate, our chances are low.
**[13:38] ---**
We have to narrow the field down more.
**[13:45] ---**
Sorry to call you here out of the blue.
**[13:48] ---**
It's okay. I was just on
my way to cram school.
**[13:51] ---**
So what did you want to ask?
**[13:53] ---**
You come from a long line of doctors, right?
**[13:56] ---**
Yeah. My father, my grandfather,
**[14:00] ---**
my great-grandfather, too.
**[14:01] ---**
Eventually, me too.
**[14:04] ---**
Do you know of a hospital director
who has a daughter in high school?
**[14:08] ---**
You see, we have something that
she accidentally left behind.
**[14:32] ---**
That rules out all of the big hospitals.
**[14:36] ---**
And that narrows it down considerably.
**[14:40] ---**
Is something wrong?
**[14:41] ---**
Who are you?
***SIGN*** Nurse Station
***SIGN*** Oyama Internal Medicine

**[15:16] ---**
Why can't we find her?
**[15:19] ---**
I don't know...
**[15:21] ---**
I'm beat!
**[15:23] ---**
What's with you guys?
***SIGN*** Register
**[15:25] ---**
The three of you are working together,
and you still haven't found her?
**[15:28] ---**
Don't group me together with them!
**[15:31] ---**
For some reason, these two
were following me around.
**[15:34] ---**
Both of you are in my way.
**[15:37] ---**
Hey, cut it out.
**[15:38] ---**
Don't snap at each other
just 'cause you're hungry.
**[15:41] ---**
I'm not hungry!
**[15:42] ---**
Okay, okay!
**[15:45] [SONG] ---**
Free Okonomiyaki
**[15:46] ---**
Look at this.
**[15:50] ---**
Welcome!
**[15:56] ---**
What are we doing?
**[15:59] ---**
What other choice is there? We only
have a coupon for one free one.
**[16:03] ---**
I never eat this kind of thing at home.
**[16:06] ---**
Normally, you eat it with ketchup on top.
**[16:09] ---**
You can't fool me.
**[16:14] ---**
Thank you for the meal.
**[16:16] ---**
I feel a little more relaxed after eating.
**[16:18] ---**
One okonomiyaki isn't enough!
**[16:21] ---**
Oh, quit complaining.
**[16:33] ---**
Maybe...
**[16:34] ---**
...it's not a medical clinic,
but a hair clinic!
***SIGN*** Salon de Versailles
**[17:03] ---**
Hello!
**[17:05] ---**
Welcome!
**[17:08] ---**
Vanguard?
**[17:10] ---**
Oh, the card game Hinako is into?
**[17:13] ---**
Bingo!
**[17:15] ---**
I see.
**[17:16] ---**
Sorry.
**[17:17] ---**
You came all this way,
**[17:19] ---**
but she's at a cheer tournament today.
**[17:22] ---**
Cheer?
**[17:24] ---**
Cheerleading.
**[17:26] ---**
Ever since elementary school.
**[17:28] ---**
They're aiming for nationals.
**[17:30] ---**
Incidentally, about one month ago
on a Sunday...
**[17:34] ---**
A month ago?
**[17:36] ---**
Yeah, she would've been at a cheerleading
preliminary contest then, too.
**[17:40] ---**
Do you know the place?
**[17:42] ---**
Um, let's see...
**[17:44] ---**
I think it's in the gym of some school.
**[17:49] ---**
I believe that's the one.
**[17:51] ---**
Near the shop!
**[17:55] [SONG] ---**
Cheerleading Regional Preliminary Contest
**[17:56] ---**
Good job!
**[17:57] [SONG] ---**
Cheerleading Regional Preliminary Contest
**[18:06] ---**
Th-There she is!
**[18:13] ---**
That's...
**[18:15] ---**
You have high-class taste!
**[18:17] ---**
Like they say, there's
no accounting for taste,
**[18:20] ---**
so maybe you have hope...
**[18:21] ---**
Is that supposed to be supportive?
**[18:24] ---**
I-I get it! You wanna say
we're incompatible, right?!
**[18:28] ---**
I don't care who does it,
just give her the card!
**[18:31] ---**
Here, please!
**[18:34] ---**
After all, you're the one
who wants to see her!
**[18:37] ---**
If she finds out I used
a quest to look for her
**[18:40] ---**
just so I could return one card,
**[18:43] ---**
she'll think I'm creepy, of course!
**[18:46] ---**
You should've realized that at the beginning.
**[18:50] ---**
A-Anyway, if you give it to her for me,
**[18:53] ---**
you'll have achieved the quest.
**[18:55] ---**
You've got no complaints about that, do you?
**[18:56] ---**
I can't do that.
**[18:58] ---**
There's no point unless you
give it back to her yourself.
**[19:03] ---**
If I could do that, I wouldn't
have gone through all this...
**[19:06] ---**
Fine.
**[19:08] ---**
Hey! Shindou!
**[19:09] ---**
I don't believe you.
**[19:11] ---**
All you care about is finishing the quest?
**[19:23] ---**
Pick a card.
**[19:26] ---**
If you pick that card,
**[19:28] ---**
you go return it yourself.
**[19:30] ---**
If you pick something else,
I'll return the card for you.
**[19:35] ---**
B-But...
**[19:38] ---**
You like her, don't you?
**[19:40] ---**
You don't know what you're gonna
get until you draw a card.
**[19:45] ---**
But even so, you're gonna quit
without even putting up a fight?
**[19:52] ---**
Yeah!
**[19:56] ---**
Yeah!
**[20:01] ---**
Okay!
**[20:22] ---**
B-B-B-B...
**[20:24] ---**
Battle Cupid, Nociel!
**[20:29] ---**
I-I'm gonna give it back to her!
**[20:45] ---**
Looks like he's doing okay.
**[20:47] ---**
I hope it works out.
**[20:57] ---**
I'm not satisfied.
**[20:59] ---**
Why do I only get a third of the points?
**[21:02] ---**
Be happy you're getting anything.
**[21:04] ---**
You didn't really do much.
**[21:06] ---**
I'm the one who realized it was a hair clinic
instead of a medical clinic.
**[21:09] ---**
That was just dumb luck.
**[21:10] ---**
Sorry, but the odds were in
my favor from the beginning.
**[21:14] ---**
In your favor?
**[21:15] ---**
Why are you looking at me like that?
**[21:17] ---**
Okay, okay. Stop it.
**[21:20] ---**
Although to be honest,
I have new respect for you.
**[21:23] ---**
You're a good guy, after all.
**[21:26] ---**
You don't have to hide it.
**[21:28] ---**
They were all the same card, weren't they?
**[21:32] ---**
So no matter which one he picked,
it'd be the right one.
**[21:36] ---**
Huh! You're surprisingly considerate!
**[21:40] ---**
What are you talkin' about?
**[21:42] ---**
Like I would go to the trouble...
**[21:45] ---**
See?
**[21:48] ---**
I don't believe it...
**[21:50] ---**
Hey! What were you going to do
if he picked the wrong card?!
**[21:53] ---**
I would've crossed that bridge
if I came to it.
**[21:56] ---**
But I told him not to do it.
**[22:01] ---**
Hey! Wait!
**[22:03] ---**
I gave him too much credit.
**[22:05] ---**
I feel like an idiot for being impressed,
even for a moment.
**[22:09] ---**
W-What the heck?! I do somethin' wrong?!
**[22:11] ---**
It turned out well in the end, didn't it?!
**[22:13] ---**
Hey! Listen to me!
**[23:56] ---**
This time, the quest was a pain in the neck.
**[23:59] ---**
Really? I liked how romantic it was.
**[24:02] ---**
Isn't there anyone you have your eye on?
**[24:05] ---**
I'm not interested in all that.
**[24:06] ---**
That's just not who I am.
**[24:08] ---**
Oh, you never know.
**[24:10] ---**
I can't even picture it.
**[24:13] ---**
All right, I'll try to picture it.
