[00:01] [POEM] Chihaya
    Note that though we may
    be apart, if I am to hear
[00:06] Person A
    Can I copy your homework?
[00:06] Chihaya
    No good. What was the second verse?
[00:07] Person B
    Again?
[00:10] [POEM] Chihaya
    that you pine for me as the Inaba
    mountain pines, I shall return to you.
[00:15] (Flashback) Arata
    Chihaya is a good name.
[00:20] (Flashback) Arata
    Look, this is your card.
SIGN    the red that is the Tatsuta River
[00:24] (Flashback) Arata
    The first verse for this card
    begins with Chihaya Furu.
[00:27] (Flashback) Arata
    This is the card you pick
    up when you hear Chihaya,
[00:29] (Flashback) Arata
    so in my mind, it's the Chihaya card.
[00:34] Chihaya
    Okay! I can do this!
[00:37] Chihaya
    Good morning!
[00:43] Chihaya
    Huh?
[00:49] Chihaya
    Oh.
[00:50] (Flashback) Taichi
    Everyone's gonna start
    ignoring you tomorrow!
[00:54] (Flashback) Chihaya
    I don't care!
[00:55] (Flashback) Taichi
    I'm gonna ignore you, too!
[00:57] (Flashback) Taichi
    I mean it!
[00:58] (Flashback) Chihaya
    I said that I don't care!
[01:08] Taichi
    If you stop talking to the outsider,
[01:11] Taichi
    we'll stop ignoring you.
[01:14] Chihaya
    I don't mind.
[01:16] Chihaya
    You should stop ignoring
    Wataya-kun instead.
[01:20] Taichi
    Why do you keep taking his side?!
[01:22] Chihaya
    Why are you so mean?!
[01:25] Taichi
    There's nothing to like about
    this puny and poor bumpkin!
[01:26] Arata
    I-It's okay, Ayase-san.
[01:28] Arata
    It's okay.
[01:29] Chihaya
    There is!
[01:30] Chihaya
    There is!
[01:35] Chihaya
    Wataya-kun can beat
    everyone here at karuta!
[01:43] Chihaya
    Right?
[01:48] Arata
    I-
[01:49] ---
    I won't let anyone take
    a single card from me.
[01:58] Taichi
    I'll make you eat those words!
[02:00] Taichi
    Let's have a showdown at the
    upcoming karuta tournament!
[02:02] Person A
    If anyone takes a card from you,
[02:04] ---
    we're ignoring you until you graduate!
[02:06] Person B
    Yeah!
[02:07] Chihaya
    It was a reckless bet,
[02:09] Chihaya
    but it felt so right.
[02:12] Chihaya
    Because I didn't have anything
    where I could claim
[02:15] Chihaya
    that no one else could ever beat me!

[03:42] Person A
    Hey, why isn't anyone moving?
[03:45] Person B
    This is just the opening poem.
[03:47] Person A
    Opening poem?
[03:48] Person B
    The contest begins with the reading
[03:49] ---
    of a poem that isn't one of the Hundred.

    You were awesome, Taichi!
[04:33] Taichi
    Piece of cake.
[04:35] Person B
    Your next match should be just as easy!
[04:36] Person C
    I know, right?
[04:47] Taichi
    Wouldn't it be lame if he
    lost in the first round?
[04:53] Chihaya
    You'll understand once
    you've seen him play.
[05:07] [POEM] Reader
    Like a boatsman...
[05:31] Person A
    Wow.
[05:33] Person B
    What was that?
[05:36] Person C
    Hey, did you see Wataya's match?!
[05:38] Person D
    Yeah, that was crazy.
[05:40] Person E
    Does Taichi have a chance?
[05:42] Person D
    He'll be fine.
    He can do anything.
[05:45] Person D

[05:48] Person A
    Yeah, he'll have to do
    whatever it takes to win
[05:51] ---
    if he doesn't want to get in trouble.
[05:52] Person B
    You don't think he'll lose without
    taking a single card, do you?
[05:58] Chihaya
    You're amazing, Wataya-kun!
[06:00] Chihaya
    At this rate, you'll
    have a perfect victory!
[06:03] Arata
    But you were able to
    take a card from me.
[06:07] Chihaya
    That was a fluke.
[06:09] Arata
    You're wrong.
[06:10] Chihaya
    Huh?
[06:11] Arata
    You have the instinct
    of a karuta player.
[06:17] Chihaya
    The instinct of a karuta player?
[06:20] Taichi
    Hey!
[06:25] Taichi
    It's on me!
[06:26] Taichi
    You should be grateful!
[06:28] Chihaya
    Taichi?
[06:31] Taichi
    What's wrong?
    It's not poisoned or anything.
[06:34] Arata
    Oh, that's not it...
[06:36] Arata
    Thank you.
[06:41] Chihaya
    Hey, Taichi!
[06:42] Chihaya
    What do you think you're doing?!
[06:44] Taichi
    That was his own fault!
[06:50] Chihaya
    Man, what's Taichi even thinking?
[06:55] Chihaya
    Sorry, I don't have a
    handkerchief on me.
[06:58] Chihaya
    You can wipe your face on here.
[07:00] Arata
    No, it's okay.
[07:01] Chihaya
    It's no big deal.
[07:03] Chihaya
    Uh, then...
[07:05] Chihaya
    How about here?
[07:07] Arata
    It's really okay.
[07:09] Chihaya
    What?
[07:10] Chihaya
    What about here?
[07:12] Arata
    I said it's okay.
[07:14] Chihaya
    Over here then?
[07:16] Arata
    I don't want to get your clothes wet.
[07:18] Chihaya
    You don't have to worry about that!
[07:20] Chihaya
    If I run really fast,
    they'll dry in a flash!
[07:27] Arata
    Huh? That's strange.
[07:29] Chihaya
    What's wrong?
[07:32] Arata
    My glasses...

    Huh?
[07:42] Chihaya
    Taichi!

    Nope.

    Huh?
[07:57] Chihaya
    Taichi might be selfish,
    but he's not mean!
[08:02] Chihaya
    And that's not me.
[08:04] Teacher
    We will now begin the final match!
[08:08] Chihaya
    I'll go find your glasses!
[08:11] Chihaya
    Hold on!
[08:21] Taichi
    Do you really have to lean
    that close to read them?
[08:24] Taichi
    Are you making sure you'll
    have an excuse when you lose?
[08:28] Taichi
    J-Just so we're clear...

[09:23] Taichi
    What's going on?
[09:25] Taichi
    I thought he couldn't see.

    I wish...

    Time to start your comeback!

    The cards have been moved?
[10:12] [POEM] Reader
    My fear is that you will forget
    your promise to never forget me,
[10:14] Arata
    Where is it?
[10:18] Taichi
    Found it!
[10:20] Person A
    Mashima got another card!
[10:22] Person B
    Way to go, Mashima!
[10:23] Person C
    Keep it up!

    Huh?
[10:56] Taichi
    Huh?
[11:04] Chihaya
    I'll take Wataya-kun's place!
[11:06] Teacher
    What are you saying?
[11:08] Teacher
    You shouldn't interrupt
    a match, Ayase-san.
[11:10] Chihaya
    But Sensei!
    Wataya-kun lost his glasses!
[11:13] Chihaya
    And um...
[11:14] Chihaya
    I'm his number one pupil!
[11:17] Teacher
    It's true that he doesn't
    have his glasses.
[11:20] Taichi
    I don't mind.
[11:23] Taichi
    Chihaya is obviously weaker.
[11:27] Chihaya
    Thank you!
[11:32] Person A
    But Chi-chan only has a third
    of the poems memorized.
[11:35] Person B
    Is she going to be okay?
[11:39] Chihaya
    I'm going to win this
    match for Wataya-kun!
[11:44] Chihaya
    No...

    In other words...

    I just have to keep cycling
    through the first few words
[12:23] ---
    of every first verse!
[12:25] Chihaya
    It doesn't matter what the poem means!
[12:26] Chihaya
    If she reads a card
    I don't recognize...
[12:28] [POEM] Reader
    Since the dew atop the blades of grass
[12:32] Chihaya
    I bat away the cards that are
    in the area Taichi is looking!
[12:36] Taichi
    That's cheap, Chihaya!
[12:38] Chihaya
    Am I allowed to do that, Sensei?
[12:40] Teacher
    The rules allow it.
[12:42] Teacher
    As long as the correct card is
    removed from the area of play.
[12:49] Person A
    This girl certainly has style.

    For you, I head out to the
    fields to pick spring greens

    Why is she so serious?
[13:06] Taichi
    Is she...
[13:08] Taichi
    Is she doing it for him?
[13:10] Taichi
    For that loser?
[13:15] Chihaya
    Got it!
[13:16] Person A
    What's wrong, Taichi?!
[13:18] Person B
    You better not lose!

    Karuta is so much fun!
[15:05] Chihaya

    you were playing against Wataya-kun!

    He's going to become a master.

    I-I'm sorry...
[16:31] Mom
    It doesn't matter if you
    can play karuta or not,

    I wish I was born with
    a more useful talent.
[17:25] Chihaya
    So I could be a good student
    and athlete like you.
[17:28] Taichi
    That's true.
     I was born this good.
[17:31] Chihaya
    But I know that you made flashcards
    for learning the Hundred Poets.
[17:36] Taichi
    Don't tell anyone.
[17:37] Taichi
    They'll think I'm lame.
[17:39] Taichi
    And then I lost to you.
[17:41] Chihaya
    What's so lame about
    losing in a fair fight?!
[17:46] Chihaya
    At least, that's what I think.
[17:49] Chihaya
    Though nobody's gonna praise
    you for doing well at karuta.
[18:22] Chihaya
    He doesn't need his glasses...
[18:27] Chihaya
    Or cards...
[18:33] Chihaya

    You like playing karuta that much?

    H-Hey, Chihaya!
[18:55] Chihaya
    There are a lot of crows around here,

    the glasses since they're shiny!
[18:59] Chihaya
    I'll go check the hill
    behind the school!
[19:01] Arata
    Ayase-san!
[19:07] Arata
    Ayase-san, it's okay!

    N-No.

    Oh, sorry!
[19:56] Taichi
    Don't tell Chihaya.
[20:02] Taichi
    I don't want
[20:04] ---
    her to hate me.
[20:14] Arata
    Mashima, you're...
[20:19] Arata
    a coward.
SIGN    A Coward
[20:22] Taichi
    A-A coward?
[20:24] Arata
    But...
[20:27] Arata
    I understand how you feel.
[20:31] Chihaya
    They're not here either!
[20:32] Chihaya
    How many crow nests are there anyway?
[20:37] Taichi
    Chihaya!
[20:39] Arata
    I found my glasses!
[20:41] Taichi
    Hey! Where are you?!
[20:42] Arata
    Ayase-san...
[20:43] Taichi
    Chihaya!
[20:46] Taichi
    Chihaya!
[20:49] Arata
    Chi—
[20:52] Arata
    Chihaya.
[20:53] Both
    Chihaya!
[20:56] Chihaya
    Here!
[21:08] Chihaya
    That was when I knew.
[21:13] Chihaya
    I would discover many lifelong
    treasures this winter.
