    at some local shrine.
[07:07] Miya
    If you're interested, you can
    take over as their advisor.

    No, thank you!

[09:13] Harada
    Eyebrows, you don't make many

[09:18] Harada
    Your goal should be to intimidate
[09:20] ---
    the reader into reading the card you want!
[09:22] Harada
    Also, your body needs to be off
    the ground when you swing.
[09:26] Harada
    Cut your nails shorter!
[09:29] Harada
    Chihaya-chan, your play is unstable
    because of your emotions.
[09:31] Harada
    Focus on the cards.
[09:34] Harada
    Your swing is too wide.
[09:36] Harada
    Also, you had issues when you were
    sending cards in the finals!
[09:38] Harada
    Move straight to the card!

    Why didn't you separate
    those like cards sooner?

[18:13] Kanade
    It tells the story of when her
    former husband, Prince Oama,
[18:17] ---
    snuck into her husband's
    lands and waved to her.
[18:20] Kanade
    Princess Nukata was so happy to see him.
[18:22] Kanade
    But she worried that someone
    might see them together.
[18:27] Kanade
    The human heart never changes...
[18:33] Kanade
    Ah, sorry!
[18:34] Kanade
    I was babbling again!
[18:36] Chihaya
    You know so much, Kana-chan.
[18:41] Kanade
    I'm used to calling the
    poems "The autumn paddy"
[18:44] ---
    and "The sight of" now.
[18:46] Kanade
    I really want to win at Omi Jingu,
[18:52] Kanade
    but I don't want to lose sight of the
    fact that these cards are poetry.

[19:13] Chihaya
    Wh-What are you doing, Ms. Miyauchi?!
[19:15] Miya
    Just give it to me.
[19:17] Chihaya
    But this is important to us!
[19:19] Miya
    That's why I'm taking it
    to the principal's office!
[19:21] Chihaya
    Huh?
[19:23] Miya
    I'll put it in the center of the trophy
    case in front of the principal's office.
[19:28] Miya
    After all, this is a very important trophy.
[19:30] Taichi
    Huh?

[19:45] Miya

[19:47] Shiba
    Oh, yes?
[19:49] Miya
    I'll be going to Omi Jingu.
[19:52] Miya
    You'll have to watch the
    Birdman Rally on TV.
[19:55] Shiba
    What?!
[19:57] Nishida
    Don't get any ideas.
    These are all mine.
[19:59] Taichi
    No.
[20:00] Nishida
    All mine!
[20:01] Taichi
    No.
[20:02] Nishida

    Oh! Mt. Fuji!
[20:10] Taichi
    Looks the same as it does in the pictures.

    The crimson sunset
[20:20] [POEM] Chihaya
    sets these forbidden fields aglow
[20:25] [POEM] Chihaya
    Wave not, for the guards may find us
[20:33] Chihaya
    Kana-chan...
[20:35] Chihaya
    Ever since you taught me the meaning,
[20:38] ---
    the "Impassionate gods" card
    has been red for me.
[20:42] Chihaya
    A bright red marker
[20:45] Chihaya
    in a field of cards...
[20:49] Chihaya
    Arata! What's Omi Jingu like?
[20:53] Chihaya
    They hold a bunch of big karuta
    tournaments there, right?
[20:57] Chihaya
    You've been there a whole
    bunch of times, right?
[21:00] Chihaya
    What's it like?
[21:13] Arata
    It's bright red.
