*I'm so done!*
**[02:07] Yuu**
What the heck brought this on?
**[02:09] Yuu**
Even your ears are red.
**[02:11] Arata**
Yuu...
**[02:12] Yuu**
I thought you weren't big on
dragging people into karuta.
**[02:15] Arata**
You played karuta through
grade school, right?
**[02:18] Yuu**
Nope! Not happening!
**[02:20] Yuu**
It's summer of our second year.
We'll be exam students soon.
**[02:22] Yuu**
Seriously, what's gotten into you?
**[02:29] Arata**
* Our world of karuta can only grow because of*
* team players who keep the game alive, right?*
**[02:37] Arata**
*How far can I really go alone?*
**[02:41] Guy**
Wataya-kun, I wanted to talk to you
about competitive karuta.
**[02:44] Arata**
What? Y-You play?
**[02:45] Guy**
My grandma's been bugging me
about playing it with her.
**[02:50] Guy**
Could you refer me to
the karuta society you're in?
***SIGN*** To keep her sharp

I'm the PE teacher, Kanno!
**[02:59] Kanno**
Wataya-kun, play a game with me!
**[03:02] Kanno**
I haven't played since I won the college
championship fifteen years ago,
**[03:07] Kanno**
but naturally, I play Class A karuta!
**[03:09] Arata**
I'd be glad to play anytime.
**[03:11] Girl**
Wataya-kun! My older brother sometimes
says he wants to play karuta again!
**[03:16] Guy**
My mom's a ranked player.
**[03:18] Guy**
I think my little sister
will want to play, too.
**[03:20] Girl**
My grandpa teaches karuta
at the community center!
**[03:20] Arata**
*A-Aren't there any* students *at this
school who want to play karuta?*
**[03:28] Arata**
*I guess I'm being pretty greedy,*
**[03:31] Arata**
*wanting to play against their team.*
**[03:35] Arata**
*But still...*
**[03:37] Arata**
* It might be hard to build*
* a high school team,*
**[03:40] Arata**
*but I can generate interest in karuta.*

*The autumn of our class trip,*

*and an autumn of karuta.*
**[04:46] Kanade**
*Strange...*
**[04:48] Kanade**
* I thought they would've made*
* some kind of progress*
***SIGN*** Something like this...
**[04:50] Kanade**
* after spending a night and two days*
* at Fujisaki's karuta camp...*
**[04:56] Kanade**
* But the only thing that's grown*

No, it was mine!

* Chihaya-chan giving her all*

**[05:05] Kanade**
*What's changed is...*
**[05:09] Chihaya**
*Taichi has changed.*
**[05:13] Chihaya**
*His memorization was always super accurate,*
**[05:15] Chihaya**
* but it's made him even*
* sharper in the second half.*
**[05:18] Taichi**
*I'll win. I can win.*
**[05:21] Taichi**
*How much of a gap should I aim for?*
**[05:23] Taichi**
* Should I go for Chihaya's*
* one-syllable cards?*
**[05:26] Chihaya**
*Above all...*
**[05:28] Chihaya**
* It's gotten hard to win*
* with my left hand.*
**[05:32] Nishida**
*Wow...*
**[05:33] Both**
Thank you very much.
**[05:37] Chihaya**
One more game, Taichi!
**[05:39] Nishida**
No way, Ayase!
**[05:41] Nishida**
Play me next, Mashima!
***SIGN*** Why you? He's playing me! Stick to the order!
**[05:44] Nishida**
The Master qualifiers are coming up!
**[05:46] Nishida**
You only just made Class B, so sit down!
***SIGN*** Snap!
***SIGN*** Th-That may be so,
***SIGN*** but if I win a tournament somewhere by October, I'll reach Class A!
**[05:56] Nishida**
Don't be naive! Class B isn't that easy!
**[05:59] Kanade**
* Winning the individual tournament*
* at the Nationals—*
**[06:02] Kanade**
*going through an entire day undefeated—*
**[06:05] Kanade**
*can really change a person, huh?*
***SIGN*** It's not impossible! I'll show you!
**[06:10] Tsukuba**
If I win two tournaments somewhere by October,
**[06:13] Tsukuba**
I'll reach Class A, too.
**[06:17] Tsukuba**
And then come the Master qualifiers...
***SIGN*** He hasn't changed...
In fact, he's worse...
**[06:22] Taichi**
Chihaya, you should stop
playing with your left hand.
**[06:25] Chihaya**
Huh?
**[06:25] Taichi**
You don't want to
get too comfortable with it.
**[06:27] Taichi**
Go back to your right hand.
**[06:29] Chihaya**
But I'm not allowed to take off
the taping yet...
**[06:32] Taichi**
You can still hold down cards to take them.
**[06:34] Chihaya**
Huh?
**[06:34] Taichi**
Hanano-san.
**[06:35] Taichi**
You'll play Chihaya next.
**[06:40] [POEM] Tsukuba**
Here comes spring,
now the flower blooms
**[06:41] Chihaya**
* Frankly, I don't think playing*
* Hanano-san will help me.*
**[06:44] Chihaya**
*The Queen qualifiers are coming up, too...*
**[06:48] [POEM] Tsukuba**
So spring ends...
**[06:52] Sumire**
Does your right hand hurt, Ayase-senpai?
**[06:55] Chihaya**
Huh? No.
**[06:57] Sumire**
Then go on the attack.
**[06:59] Sumire**
I'm not going to stay in
Class D forever, either!
**[07:02] Sumire**
I'll win more in the next tournament!
**[07:05] (Flashback) Sumire**
I'm not too interested in karuta,
**[07:08] (Flashback) Sumire**
but I'm willing to work hard for love.
**[07:11] Chihaya**
*Even Hanano-san is...*
**[07:15] Sumire**
* If Mashima-senpai is focused*
* more than ever on karuta,*
**[07:18] Sumire**
*then I have to do the same.*
**[07:20] Sumire**
*I have to get on his radar!*
**[07:22] Sumire**
*I have to see what he's seeing!*
**[07:25] Chihaya**
*...taking karuta seriously.*
**[07:29] Kanade**
* Three players in Class A*
* and one in Class B...*
**[07:32] Kanade**
* That should be more than enough for*
* any high school karuta club, but...*
**[07:38] Kanade**
*I have to strive for Class B, too!*

**[08:19] Guy**

Can I see your notes?

* In last year's High School Championship,*
* I passed out and had to withdraw.*
**[08:27] Chihaya**
* This year I got hurt, then had surgery,*
* and still can't use my right hand.*

* the game by October, but now...*
**[08:34] Chihaya**
*Does the god of karuta hate me?*
**[08:38] Kanade**
*It's no surprise she's upset.*
**[08:47] Kanade**
Chihaya-chan, when you take off
your shoes, line them up properly!
**[08:50] Chihaya**
Huh?
**[08:50] Chihaya**
Oh, sorry...
**[08:51] Kanade**
Did you know that I've been straightening
out everyone's shoes all this time
**[08:55] Kanade**
without saying anything?
**[08:56] Chihaya**
Yeah... Thanks.
**[08:57] Kanade**
It's because, when I was little,
my mother told me
**[09:00] Kanade**
that straightening out other people's shoes
**[09:03] Kanade**
would bring me one instance of good luck.
**[09:05] Kanade**
After a year and a half straightening
out the shoes of everyone in the club,
**[09:10] Kanade**
I've amassed so much good luck that
**[09:13] Kanade**
I probably have ten times as
much luck in savings as you do!
**[09:16] Chihaya**
L-Luck in savings?!
**[09:19] Chihaya**
I'll straighten them!
I'll get some good luck!
**[09:22] Chihaya**
I was just thinking I didn't have any!
**[09:25] Kanade**
Don't put your hands on a white wall.
**[09:27] Kanade**
Don't step on the edge of a tatami mat.
**[09:30] Kanade**
I love the idea of small actions
building up good fortune.
**[09:34] Kanade**
When you're lost, why not think about
what you want to build up within yourself
**[09:39] Kanade**
and try making decisions that way?
**[09:44] Kanade**
Well, I'll see you after school, Chihaya-chan.
**[09:46] Chihaya**
Sure...
**[09:49] Kanade**
*Since I put it that way,*
**[09:51] Kanade**
* she might end up choosing*
* the Queen match over the class trip.*
**[09:56] Kanade**
*I would miss her,*

are much tougher than the Master
and Queen matches and qualifiers.
**[16:38] Chihaya**
I'll still win!
**[16:40] Sudo**
Oh? Wanna bet?
**[16:41] Chihaya**
Yeah!
**[16:41] Taichi**
No betting, idiot!
**[16:43] Sudo**
Don't run away, club president of
the school that won the Nationals!
**[16:48] Sudo**
You'll do, too.
**[16:50] Sudo**
Whichever one of us loses first has to skip
the Master qualifiers in two weeks.
**[16:57] Taichi**
Fine.
**[16:58] Sudo**
Good.
**[16:59] Nishida**
Not fair, Mashima!
**[17:01] Nishida**
You have the class trip then anyway!
**[17:05] Chihaya**
*In official tournaments,*
**[17:07] Chihaya**
* players from the same society are unlikely*
* to be drawn together until the latter rounds.*
**[17:11] Chihaya**
* I'm less likely to be drawn with Taichi*
* than with Arata or Sudo-san.*

*Take everything one step at a time.*

*One win at a time.*

Naniwa Bay, now the flower
blooms, but for winter
***SIGN*** Wow, Ririka-chan's grown up...
***SIGN*** Yikes. The Queen runner-up...
**[17:36] [POEM] Reader**
Here comes spring,
now the flower blooms
***SIGN*** Two club presidents! It's the red thread of fate! Cheers!!
***SIGN*** Class B Room
**[17:43] Guy**
Things seem pretty relaxed
in the Class B room.
**[17:45] Guy**
I checked out the Class A room earlier,
and it was way more tense.
**[17:49] Guy**
I guess it would be,
with the Master qualifiers coming up.
**[17:54] Tsutomu**
*Attack... Target the opponent's left!*
**[17:58] Tsutomu**
*I know the weakness of right-handed players.*
**[18:01] Tsutomu**
* Target the center of his left side,*
* which he's less conscious of!*
***SIGN*** it is as though pearls have been strung across the autumn plain
**[18:11] Both**
Thank you very much.
**[18:18] Tsutomu**
* I should've known a Class B match*
* wouldn't be like Class C.*
**[18:23] Tsutomu**
*I lost by thirteen cards...*
**[18:25] Tsutomu**
* I'm glad everyone else went*
* to watch the Class A matches.*
**[18:29] Tsutomu**
* Of course I can't win after*
* I just made it to Class B.*
**[18:37] Tsutomu**
* No! I made up my mind that*
* I wouldn't think that way!*
**[18:40] Tsutomu**
*I can't do that! I can't do that!*
**[18:43] (Flashback) Tsutomu**
If I win a tournament somewhere
by October, I'll reach Class A!
**[18:48] Tsutomu**
*Class A...*
**[18:50] Tsutomu**
*Even if no one else took me seriously,*
**[18:52] Tsutomu**
*I had high hopes for myself!*
**[18:55] Tsutomu**
*Don't decide this was a matter of course!*
**[18:57] Tsutomu**
*Be mad! And analyze what happened!*
**[19:07] Kanade**
If you keep hitting yourself,
**[19:09] Kanade**
you'll hurt yourself, Desktomu-kun!
***SIGN*** H-How are the Class A matches going?
**[19:16] Kanade**
Uh... There are so many matches,
I didn't know who to root for.
***SIGN*** So you were watching the Class B matches the whole time?
**[19:27] Kanade**
You said you were going to win,
**[19:30] Kanade**
so I wanted to be there to see it.
**[19:37] Kanade**
But...
**[19:38] Kanade**
It looks like I'll get to Class B before that.
**[19:42] Kanade**
I'll catch up to you in no time!
**[19:45] Kanade**
Come on, let's go.
**[19:48] Tsutomu**
*I'm not the only one with high hopes for me.*
**[19:52] Kanade**
I bet it's getting pretty crazy
in the Class A room.
**[19:56] Tsutomu**
*I'm not the only one watching me.*
***SIGN*** My lack of practice due to studying for entrance exams showed...
**[20:00] Kanade**
Both Chihaya-chan and the Prez
won their matches!
***SIGN*** Amazing.
**[20:04] Kanade**
And Porky-kun...

**[20:08] Chihaya**
* The fiercest battle of all,*
* right in the first round:*
**[20:11] Chihaya**
*Porky-kun versus Sudo-san.*
**[20:14] Sudo**
* What's with this guy? I took a*
* ten-card lead in the first half.*
**[20:18] Kitano**
* Yusei's hanging in there!*
* He's sticking with it!*
**[20:21] Sudo**
*When I led him by twenty cards last year,*
**[20:24] Sudo**
* I was impressed that*
* he actually knew when to give up...*
**[20:28] Nishida**
*Don't give up. I can keep fighting.*
**[20:31] Nishida**
* I can keep struggling*
* until the very last card!*
**[20:35] Sudo**
* You've burned off enough fat*
* to pass for lean meat, huh?*
**[20:44] Sudo**
* Don't keep fighting when*
* you're going to lose.*
**[20:46] Sudo**
*You tired me out in the first match.*
**[20:51] Kitano**
*Yusei... you've grown so much!*
**[20:55] Nishida**
*Sudo-san is good. He'll be an obstacle.*
**[20:59] Nishida**
* He's going to be a major obstacle*
* for my teammates!*
**[21:04] Nishida**
* I couldn't win, but I wore*
* him down as much as I could.*
**[21:08] Nishida**
*One of my teammates is gonna win!*
**[21:11] Nishida**
*Just watch!*

A team match is an individual match.
**[21:16] (Flashback) Harada**
An individual match is a team match.
**[21:19] Taichi**
*I always thought*
**[21:20] Taichi**
* individual matches were where*
* everyone fought on their own*
**[21:23] Taichi**
*just to try to raise their own levels...*
**[21:28] Taichi**
*But they're not.*
**[21:30] Taichi**
*Individual matches are the real team matches!*
