[00:05] Kana
    "When winds blow," Chihaya-chan.
[00:24] Kana
    Chihaya-chan, when this poem
    was written 800 years ago,
[00:30] ---
    they must have felt very refreshed.
[00:39] [POEM] N
    the only sign of summer is the
    ritual purification in the waters
[00:43] Kana
    They could
[00:47] ---
    probably hear the wind blow...
[00:49] [POEM] N
    Silent waves creep closer to the
    Suminoe shore, and when night falls,
[00:54] Tai
    Got it!
[00:56] Chi
    Kana-chan,
[00:58] ---
    I remember.
[01:00] Kana
    Speaking of dreams,
    there's "Silent waves"!
SIGN    in my dreams, I creep closer to you
[01:14] Chi
    Megumu-chan...
[01:18] Chi
    Let's...
[01:20] Chi
    have a good match!
SIGN    Chihaya Furu
SIGN    Verse 13
SIGN    In
    my
    dreams,
    I creep
    closer
    to
    you
[02:45] Chi
    I couldn't take the one-syllable card on
[02:47] Chi
    my opponent's lower right last
    time, but I got it this time.
[02:55] Su
    The opponent's lower right one-syllable
    cards are always special.
[03:00] Su
    You're taking a card from
    right under their nose.
[03:02] Su
    It's so fun!
[03:04] Su
    Ayase's got the momentum now.
[03:07] Naka
    That speed confirmed it.
[03:10] Naka
    The neural signal goes straight from
    Bellatrix's ears to her fingers.
[03:14] Naka
    That's the only way
    to explain her speed.
[03:18] Naka
    And another one-syllable "S" card,
[03:20] ---
    "Swift," was on the opponent's lower left,
[03:23] Naka
    but she went straight for "Silent."
[03:25] Naka
    That takes guts!
[03:30] Chi
    That felt very clean.
[03:33] Chi
    I hit the corner.
[03:36] Chi
    I was never able to take
    a card that way before...
[03:39] Kana
    Chihaya-chan, that was a nice attack.
[03:40] Chi
    Yep!
[03:43] Kana
    The moment you celebrate,
    you lose your focus...
[03:47] [POEM] ---
    My own home is...
[03:48] [POEM] ---
    As the years pass...
[03:50] Chi
    No...
[03:52] Suo
    What a waste.
[03:56] Naka
    That was a waste.
[03:59] Tani
    As always...
[04:00] Yu
    Good, Megumu isn't
    letting it get to her.
[04:05] A
    She didn't let the loss
    of a one-syllable card
[04:08] ---
    from her own side influence her play.
[04:10] Naka
    I can see why she was the
    West representative.
[04:12] Mura
    Akashi Girls' ace and moodmaker...
[04:15] Suo
    The match will be decided by
    Ousaka Megumu's performance.
[04:19] Megu
    One more card. Keep it going.
[04:21] All
    Yes!
[04:25] Chi
    I've never played anyone
    so calm before.
[04:28] [POEM] N
    the sight of a midnight moon
[04:35] Chi
    I can't remember how to catch momentum.
[04:38] [POEM] N
    So spring nights are short...
[04:41] Chi
    S-Same time...
[04:43] Pork
    Don't back down!
[04:44] Pork
    Fight for it!
[04:47] Chi
    I-I think I got that card...
[04:50] Megu
    Huh?
[04:52] Pork
    I'm not telling you to force
    her to give you the card.
[04:56] Pork
    Even if you end up losing it, the point
    is to make her feel uncomfortable.
[05:01] Pork
    Throw her off her game.
[05:03] Chi
    I'm sorry!
[05:04] Chi
    We touched it at the same time,
    so it should go to Megumu-chan...
[05:07] Chi
    I'm sorry!
[05:08] Megu
    Really? You can have it then.
[05:11] Chi
    What?!
[05:13] Chi
    She really gave it to me!
[05:15] Chi
    Oh, no! Oh, no! What do I do?!
[05:17] [POEM] N
    So spring ends...
[05:18] Pork
    That was a failure.
[05:20] Kana
    She was the one who was
    thrown off her game.
[05:23] Tai
    She's not made to contest cards...
[05:26] Pork
    I need to step up.
[05:28] Tai
    I have to step up!
[05:30] Kana
    I must step up!
[05:33] Desk
    I have to...
[05:36] Desk
    The atmosphere and audience make
    it difficult for me to move.
[05:42] [POEM] N
    A mountain stream...
[05:43] Desk
    A dead card!
[05:45] Desk
    That was close...
[05:51] Desk
    Hanano...
[05:56] Desk
    According to Hanano's notes,
[05:57] ---
    the girl with a ponytail had a
    towel from an Aoi Ryuji tour.
[06:03] Desk
    Is that the towel she
    was talking about?
[06:06] Desk
    She actually recognized it?
[06:09] Desk
    Aoi Ryuji is a singer who's
    known for his sappy love songs.
[06:13] Desk
    Most of them are about broken hearts.
[06:17] Desk
    Which means...
[06:19] Desk
    These are the cards...
[06:22] [POEM] ---
    I know that my heart...
[06:23] Desk
    I have to take!
[06:24] Tani
    I wanted that card.
[06:26] Tani
    I heard that this person is Class C,
[06:28] Tani
    but he's tough!
[06:30] Desk
    I'm going to find my momentum
    in my first match today!
SIGN    I defended that card!
SIGN    Let's take the next one, Mizusawa!
[06:36] ---
    Yes!
[06:40] Desk
    Hanano-san, you're very observant.
[06:42] Desk
    Thanks.
[06:46] [POEM] N
    While it brings me no joy, the
    road beyond Mount Oe is too long
[06:49] ---
    They did it!
[06:51] Kana
    Everyone got my "While it brings" card!
[06:53] Kana
    The momentum is shifting this time!
[06:56] Chi
    Momentum is when...
[06:59] Chi
    Momentum is when...
[07:01] Chi
    ...you take consecutive cards!
SIGN    Simple-minded
[07:04] [POEM] N
    After I heard...
[07:10] Chi
    She's so stable...
[07:13] Pork
    I got it!
[07:15] Megu
    Don't worry. Just start with one card.
[07:18] Megu
    Aim for that one card.
[07:19] ---
    Yeah. Sorry, Megumu.
[07:23] Yu
    She's so composed, even on this stage.
[07:25] Yu
    Megumu is amazing.
[07:27] Yu
    But I've been with her
    for a such a long time
[07:29] ---
    and I still don't understand
    what she's thinking.
[07:32] Yu
    I got everyone excited
    about making her Queen,
[07:35] Yu
    but how does she really feel about it?
[07:38] Yu
    Does she want to become Queen?
[07:41] Tai
    Chihaya isn't able to
    take consecutive cards.
[07:44] Tai
    Her deficit is growing steadily.
[07:48] Tai
    Chihaya, you just have to win.
[07:51] Tai
    Bring home the win!
[07:53] Tai
    Did I say the wrong thing again?
[07:57] Tai
    This is different from last year.
[08:02] Tai
    A year has passed...
[08:05] Tai
    A whole year.
[08:20] [POEM] N
    on a long September night,
    and then I saw a dawn moon
[08:29] [POEM] N
    The sky is the road home
    for the holy maidens,
[08:31] A
    A dead card.
[08:33] B
    She moved immediately, but she
    was still able to pull back.
[08:35] C
    Impressive...
[08:39] Rion
    She didn't fall for Ousaka-san's quick reach.
[08:51] Megu
    Oh, excuse me.
SIGN    Good Luck Megumu
[08:58] Mina
    She's savoring the moment!
[08:59] Mina
    This is the glory of youth!
[09:04] Mina
    That headband is now an
    Ousaka Megumu trademark!
[09:08] Mina
    She used to be the only
    one who wore one...
[09:11] (Flashback) Megu
    I made these for Nationals.
[09:14] (Flashback) Megu
    Let's all wear them.
[09:15] (Flashback) Yu
    Huh?
[09:16] (Flashback) Megu
    This is to thank you for
    the one you made me.
[09:18] (Flashback) Haya
    Megumu-senpai...
[09:20] Mina
    A beautiful display of friendship!
[09:22] Mina
    I'm so glad to be a karuta advisor!
[09:27] All
    The reason we worship Megumu-tan
[09:29] All
    is because of the gap in her behavior.
[09:33] ---
    Our lenses know the truth.
[09:36] Mina
    Whew, I'd look pretty dumb
    wearing a headband by myself.
[09:40] Mina
    It was a good idea to have
    everyone else join in.
SIGN    Swoon!
[09:48] [POEM] N
    may the wind bring clouds
    to extend their stay
[09:57] [POEM] N
    The storm will soon carry...
[10:02] Megu
    She went below my hand.
[10:04] Megu
    She took it.
[10:06] Suo
    She'd been losing all of the "The" cards,
[10:09] Suo
    but that was a clean win.
[10:12] Suo
    Has she figured out something?
[10:17] Megu
    That was...
[10:24] Megu
    Okay, on to the next card.
[10:26] Megu
    One card at a time.
[10:27] All
    Yes!
[10:31] Megu
    This is a team match,
[10:33] Megu
    so why am I the only one saying anything?
[10:37] Megu
    Queen?
[10:39] Megu
    Not interested.
[10:46] Chi
    I'm sending a card.
SIGN    fades to reveal fishing nets in the shallows
[10:52] A
    What? "The hazed early dawn mist"?
[10:55] B
    That's a long multi-syllable card.
[10:56] B
    Why?
[10:57] C
    Normally, no one would send that.
[11:03] Suo
    Multi-syllable cards are supposed
    to be a weakness for her.
[11:06] Suo
    Is she sacrificing that card?
[11:07] [POEM] N
    so I wish for a memory
    of you to take with me
[11:16] [POEM] N
    For you, I would have given up my life
[11:17] Suo
    A different multi-syllable card!
[11:29] Yu
    Megumu?
[11:33] Megu
    The speed when she took
    that one-syllable card...
[11:36] Megu
    The way she broke my cover...
[11:39] Megu
    I can feel her screaming:
[11:44] Megu
    "I will become Queen!"
[11:54] Megu
    I'm not interested in becoming Queen,
[11:57] Megu
    but I have to beat her now.
SIGN    Swoon!
[12:16] Suo
    She broke her opponent's cover.
[12:18] Suo
    There are plenty of players who can
[12:20] ---
    take certain cards really fast.
[12:21] Suo
    To win, you have to overcome
[12:24] ---
    your weaknesses instead of
    relying on your strengths.
[12:27] Suo
    How much time has she spent practicing?
[12:31] Pork
    My point is that you're too sloppy
    about covering your cards.
[12:35] Pork
    Like this!
[12:35] Pork
    How many times do I
    have to repeat myself?
[12:41] Pork
    You'll never become Queen if you
    can't conquer your weaknesses!
SIGN    now together, I guard it dear
[12:47] Chi
    I did it...
[12:49] Desk
    You'll do better if you listen
    carefully before moving.
[12:52] Desk
    I'll help you.
[12:59] Chi
    I did it,
[13:01] ---
    everyone.
[13:04] Chi
    I did it.
[13:07] Megu
    I have to beat her.
[13:13] Naka
    The momentum...

    ...is shifting...

[13:24] Tai
    Got it!
[13:25] Kana
    I protected mine!
[13:26] Pork
    Same here!
SIGN    Ditto!
[13:32] Megu
    All right!
[13:35] Tai
    A-Again...
[13:37] Kana
    She couldn't take three in a row.
[13:42] All
    Megumu-tan celebrated...
[13:47] All
    Megumu-tan isn't telling her team
    to focus on the next card.
[13:52] Mura
    Interesting...
[13:54] A
    This is a high level,
    back and forth game.
[13:57] A
    I'm pleasantly surprised.
[13:58] Chi
    She's got good game sense,
[13:59] ---
    and a broad field of vision to boot.
[14:01] Chi
    She's watching every card.
[14:03] Chi
    No matter what I do,
    she's always perfectly calm.
[14:05] Megu
    I'm sending a card.
SIGN    fades to reveal fishing nets in the shallows
[14:10] A
    She's returning that multi-syllable card.
[14:14] All
    Th-This is getting good.

    That girl's gotta be a sadist.
[14:24] [POEM] N
    The hazed early dawn mist
    over the Kawagiri River
[14:25] Chi
    The card she just sent?!
[14:27] Chi
    She was able to set up a
    low cover on my side.
[14:30] Chi
    That was bad.
[14:34] Megu
    I know how to keep people
    from breaking my cover.
[14:38] Megu
    I've been practicing with
    everyone to beat the Queen.
[14:43] Megu
    I'm not interested in
    becoming Queen though.
[14:46] Megu
    But I have to win to
    make everyone happy.
[14:50] Megu
    I have to beat you now.
[14:54] Chi
    Is she mad?
[14:58] Chi
    She's strong.
[15:00] Chi
    I still have work to do on
    multi-syllable cards...
[15:02] Chi
    It's tough.
[15:05] Chi
    However, I've realized
    something, Dr. Harada...
[15:17] Sumi
    It seems like there are more
    people watching our match now.
[15:25] Pork
    Akashi Girls'...
[15:26] Pork
    I thought that Ousaka Megumu was
    the only threat they had.
[15:30] Pork
    I was a little excited about my first
    match against an all-girls school.
[15:34] [POEM] N
    May I see you never forget...
[15:36] Pork
    She's strong!
[15:37] Pork
    As strong as a boy!
[15:41] Mina
    Ousaka is our engine,
[15:43] Mina
    but the other girls have also improved.
[15:47] Mina
    After all, they've been practicing
    with Ousaka to help make her Queen.
[15:53] Mina
    It's possible to become this
    good if you're motivated.
[15:56] Mina
    Akashi Girls' is now a team that's
    improving themselves for Ousaka's sake.
[16:02] Mina
    Youth... It brings a tear to my eye...
[16:10] Yu
    Megumu stopped providing vocal support.
[16:13] Yu
    Is her opponent that good?
[16:20] [POEM] N
    The storm blasts...
[16:23] Chi
    I was a moment late.
[16:24] Chi
    I need to do better...
    I need to do better...
[16:29] Chi
    One millimeter...
[16:32] Chi
    One spot...
[16:34] Chi
    The green border...
[16:40] [POEM] N
    Feel sorrow wash...
[16:49] Suo
    I don't remember her having
    such a fast motion.
[16:54] Suo
    Ousaka moved before she did,
    but she still took it.
[16:59] Suo
    That reminded me of...
[17:04] Chi
    Megumu-chan...
[17:06] Chi
    Megumu-chan is me.
[17:09] (Flashback) Hara
    Stop taking cards with your speed.
[17:15] Chi
    She's who I'd be if someone
    hadn't taught me better.
[17:30] [POEM] N
    though autumn is not mine alone
[17:48] [POEM] N
    A night spent waiting...
[17:50] [POEM] N
    The emotions experienced...
[17:52] Rion
    She finally took three consecutive cards.
[17:54] Suo
    There's nothing flashy about her swing,
[17:56] Suo
    but it's accurate.
[17:58] Megu
    My lead...
[18:03] Megu
    My lead is almost gone!
[18:10] Yu
    Okay!
[18:11] Yu
    One card!
[18:12] Yu
    One card at a time!
[18:21] Yu
    I was too loud!
[18:23] Yu
    I'm not used to this kind of thing.
[18:27] Megu
    Yu-chan...
[18:33] [POEM] N
    The sight of the lonely moon...
[18:35] Pork
    She swung that hard on a dead card?
[18:38] Pork
    She might as well be a guy...
SIGN    Too manly!
[18:40] Yu
    Megumu,
[18:42] ---
    I don't know what you're thinking.
[18:44] Yu
    It's possible that you don't
    care about becoming Queen,
[18:47] Yu
    and you just wanted to
    have fun with everyone,
[18:50] Yu
    but...
[18:52] Yu
    Megumu, I'll secure our first win,
[18:56] Yu
    so you can take it easy.
[18:59] Yu
    I still don't know what
    Megumu is thinking.
[19:02] Yu
    Queen...
SIGN    Scary...
SIGN    Tough...
SIGN    Bad...
[19:06] Yu
    I'll be playing in the Queen
    match qualifier this year.
[19:10] Yu
    After all...
[19:12] Yu
    After all, how can you not
    enjoy becoming stronger?
[19:16] All
    Megumu-tan, you're a very gentle girl.
[19:21] All
    You want to make everyone happy.
[19:22] All
    You want to fulfill their expectations.
[19:25] All
    We know that you're working
    hard for those reasons.
[19:31] All
    But honestly,
[19:34] All
    we want to see you succumb
    to your own desires.
[19:40] [POEM] N
    As I wait...
[19:42] Chi
    We touched it at the same time!
[19:43] Chi
    But it was on my side, so I get it!
[19:45] Both
    All right!
SIGN    Trit-Trot
[19:48] Chi
    That was mine...
[19:49] Megu
    It was mine.
[19:50] Megu
    I won that card.
SIGN    Trit-Trot
[19:53] Chi
    But we touched it at the same
    time, and it was on my side...
[19:56] Megu
    I was faster.
[19:58] Megu
    I could tell.
[19:59] Chi
    What? But...
[20:01] Megu
    No, I won that.
[20:02] Yu
    Megumu...
[20:03] Megu
    I was slightly faster!
[20:07] Yu
    ...is contesting a card!
[20:12] Chi
    You can take it then.
[20:14] Pork
    She doesn't know how to
    contest a card, period!
SIGN    I knew it
[20:17] Megu
    Don't be ridiculous, Yu-chan.
[20:20] Megu
    The leader of this team is me.
[20:22] Megu
    The person who can make
    everyone happy is me.
[20:25] Megu
    The one who will challenge the Queen
[20:28] Megu
    is me!
[20:30] Chi
    What?
[20:31] Yu
    What?
[20:37] Yu
    I've never seen Megumu
    like this before...
[20:41] Chi
    I gave up the card she contested,
[20:43] Chi
    but that makes up for the earlier one.
[20:47] Desk
    It's fine, Ayase.
[20:50] Tai
    Just be your usual self.
[20:56] Tai
    Okay...
[20:58] Tai
    Time to attack!
[20:59] Tai
    Mizusawa!
[21:00] All
    Yeah!
[21:01] Yu
    Okay, one card!
[21:02] Megu
    One card!
[21:03] Megu
    One card at a time!
[21:05] All
    Y-Yes!
[21:10] Sumi
    Everyone's watching our match.
[21:13] A
    The two teams are even.
[21:18] Rion
    The tension...
[21:21] Rion
    The pressure between the two teams is clashing.
