[08:10] Chihaya     It's okay! [08:11] Chihaya     We were all beginners at one point! [08:13] Chihaya     I made printouts of the poems with     their unique syllables and meanings. [08:17] Chihaya     Please start by memorizing     all one hundred. [08:20] Person A     What? Memorize? [08:22] Person B     Why? [08:23] Person C     How many pages are there? [08:23] Person D     This looks hard. [08:24] Person E     I can't do this. [08:25] Person F     Just skim it. [08:28] Kanade     There will be a test in one week. [08:29] Kanade     If you haven't memorized     all of the poems, you fail. [08:31] Kanade     There will be a retest offered. [08:33] Person A     What? A test? [08:34] Chihaya     Kana-chan, a week isn't long enough. [08:34] Person B     We have to memorize all of them? [08:37] Kanade     They're in high school now! [08:39] Kanade     They can do this. [08:40] Chihaya     But... [08:41] Kanade     We have to make them do this! [08:44] Chihaya     Um, we'll explain the rules next. [08:46] Nishida     Me? [08:48] Chihaya     Matches are played between two people. [08:50] Chihaya     You take 50 of the Hundred Poets cards [08:53] Chihaya     and put the remainder back in the box. [08:54] Chihaya     Each person places 25 cards, with     a 3 centimeter gap in between. [08:57] Nishida     Here's your 3 centimeters. [09:00] Chihaya     This is the basic layout. [09:01] Chihaya     You win if you reduce the 25 cards     on your side to zero first. [09:06] Chihaya     First, you have 15 minutes to     memorize the positioning of [09:09] ---     the 50 cards on the field. [09:11] Chihaya     This is just a tutorial, so we'll     only use three minutes. [09:13] Nishida     One minute's enough. [09:15] Kanade     The first poem read     is the opening poem, [09:18] Kanade     which isn't part of the Hundred Poets. [09:21] Kanade     The poem of Naniwa Bay, said to be known [09:23] ---     universally during the Heian period, [09:25] Kanade     was chosen as... SIGN    Kana-chan. [09:29] [POEM] Kanade     Here comes spring,     now the flower blooms [09:38] [POEM] Kanade     Here comes spring,     now the flower blooms [09:46] [POEM] Kanade     I feel that my love... [09:48] [POEM] Kanade     As my love first came... [09:49] Sumire     Huh? [09:50] Sumire     What? [09:52] Sumire     What are they doing? [10:01] Chihaya     Um, so there you go. [10:03] Chihaya     Once you learn the poems,     the unique syllables, [10:06] Chihaya     and how to position, you'll be     able to quickly take cards. [10:09] Chihaya     Let's work together to make it     to the National Championship. [10:15] Sumire     Um... [10:16] Sumire     We're not interested in     this complicated stuff. [10:19] Sumire     Can we play bozu mekuri     with the cards in a corner? [10:23] Person A     You're too frank, Hanano-san. [10:25] Person B     No kidding. [10:26] Person C     But I like the idea of     playing bozu mekuri. [10:27] Person D     I don't know how to play that, either. [10:29] Person F     We'll start by learning     the Hundred Poets poems. [10:32] Person B     See you again next week. SIGN    Let's start a competitive karuta club! Please come see Ayase Chihaya in class 2-9! [10:36] Person D     You're a riot, Hanano-san. [10:41] Chihaya     W-Well, that's how it goes at first. [10:46] Chihaya     Since we have twenty     people who want to join, [10:49] Chihaya     we should do what we can to     help them understand karuta. [10:52] Chihaya     Right? [10:54] Chihaya     Huh? [10:58] Taichi     Chihaya. [11:02] Taichi     You don't have time to teach first-years     who aren't particularly interested. [11:07] Taichi     If you're serious about playing     in the Master and Queen match, [11:10] Taichi     shouldn't you skip club practice and go     to the Shiranami Society instead? [11:14] Nishida     What are you talking about, Mashima? [11:16] Nishida     The high school tournament comes first. [11:18] Nishida     It's been a year since we     last played as a team! [11:21] Nishida     Are you saying that the individual     tournament is more important? [11:23] Nishida     Sure, you're probably worried because     you still haven't made Class A... [11:27] Kanade     Porky! [11:36] Kanade     I'll take responsibility     for teaching them. [11:38] Kanade     We don't need twenty new members. [11:40] Kanade     I'll only let the ones who can keep up remain. [11:43] Chihaya     What? You can't do that, Kana-chan! SIGN    I think it's a good idea. SIGN    The five of us will be playing in the high school tournament. SIGN    The first-years aren't important. SIGN    They can play bozu mekuri in the corner if they want. [11:57] Chihaya     Wh-Why would you all say that? [11:59] Chihaya     We need to train new members! [12:01] Chihaya     Or else the karuta club     won't last very long! [12:06] Nishida     Ayase, what are you expecting     from the first-years? [12:12] Nishida     We're the ones who will     be winning matches.

[19:18] Taichi     There's an open seat. [19:19] Taichi     Why don't you sit down? [19:20] Sumire     No, I can't sit down     while you're standing. [19:22] Sumire     There might be other     people who need to sit more, [19:27] Sumire     so I would rather leave the seats open. [19:32] Sumire     I just have to play the     sweet little girl. [19:36] Taichi     Don't worry about it. [19:38] Taichi     You're not feeling well, right? [19:45] Person A     Look at him. [19:46] Person B     Isn't he handsome? [19:59] Sumire     Y-You must be popular, Mashima-senpai. [20:04] Taichi     I wouldn't know. [20:05] Sumire     You must be. [20:07] Sumire     I bet girls ask you out all the time. [20:09] Sumire     You don't have to worry about     looking for a girlfriend. [20:12] Taichi     I'm not really sure about that lately. [20:17] Taichi     It doesn't seem right to     let a girl choose me. [20:21] Taichi     I would rather choose the     girl I devote myself to. [20:37] Reader     Bubaigawara. Bubaigawara. [20:40] Taichi     You're pretty cute, so I bet a     lot of boys would choose you. [20:44] Taichi     Bye. [20:51] Sumire     That really stung... [20:56] Sumire     Mashima-senpai will never choose me. [21:03] Sumire     I won't accept it! [21:06] Sumire     I want to have a choice, too! [21:08] Sumire     I... [21:10] Sumire     ...don't want to write     poems about regret! [21:15] Kanade     While the story is taking a     romantic twist for some members, SIGN    during my forlorn years in this world [21:20] Kanade     our captain is bullying the new members [21:22] ---     by taking all 100 cards     in a Genpei match.
