[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!

[03:40] [POEM] Reader
Here comes spring,
now the flower blooms.
[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.
[03:51] Person B
Then the match starts.
That's what the handout said.
[03:54] Person A
Oh...

The tail feathers of the

[04:09] Person A
Yeah!
[04:10] Person A
You got this, Taichi!
[04:12] Person B
Nice one, Taichi!
[04:13] Taichi
Too easy.
[04:15] Person A
You can win this!
[04:17] Person B
Keep it up!

Next will be the first round
matches for the second group.
SIGN Mashima Taichi | Tanno Shouta | Umehara Asuka
[04:30] Teacher
Will the contestants please
step onto the tatami?
[04:31] Person A
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
Besides, his mom will be
on his case if he loses.
SIGN Mashima Taichi Wataya Arata
[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...
[07:34] Chihaya
Huh?
[07:42] Chihaya
Taichi!
[07:43] Chihaya
Have you seen Wataya-kun's glasses?
[07:45] Taichi
Nope.
Isn't that right?
[07:48] Person A
Hmm? Yeah.
[07:49] Person B
Right.
[07:50] Chihaya
Really...
SIGN Eyesight without glasses 0.03
[07:52] Taichi
Ayase-san, I'm pretty sure that Mashima
[07:55] ---
was the one who hid my glasses.
[07:57] Person A
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...
[08:30] Taichi
If I take a card from you, you lose!
[08:44] [POEM] Reader
Naniwa Bay, now the flower
blooms, but for winter.
[08:53] [POEM] Reader
Here comes spring,
now the flower blooms.
[09:09] [POEM] Reader
A mountain stream...
[09:14] Person A
That was fast!
[09:17] Person B
That scared me.
[09:23] Taichi
What's going on?
[09:25] Taichi
I thought he couldn't see.
[09:28] [POEM] Reader
I wish...
[09:30] Taichi
No way!
[09:31] [POEM] Reader
Waves...
[09:35] Taichi
He memorized the initial
position of every card?!
[09:38] [POEM] Reader
My life means nothing after...
[09:46] [POEM] Reader
While some dodge...
[09:49] Reader
Oh, Wataya-kun.
[09:50] Reader
That's the wrong card.
SIGN I have learned to both love and hate my fellow man
[09:56] [POEM] Reader
I deflect your artful words
to keep my sleeves dry
[09:59] Taichi
Got it!
[10:02] Person A
Nice job, Taichi!
[10:03] Person B
Time to start your comeback!
[10:06] Arata
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!
[10:24] [POEM] Reader
When the misty bridge of magpie
feathers comes into sight,
[10:27] Taichi
Awesome!
[10:29] Person A
He got it!
[10:29] Person B
That's it, Mashima!
[10:31] Person C
Don't lose to the outsider!
[10:32] Person D
Wataya's lame!
[10:33] Person E
That's what you get for bragging
about being good at karuta!
[10:35] Person F
Take him out, Mashima!
[10:39] Person G
Get him!
[10:41] Person H
Do it!
[10:45] Person I
That's it!
[10:48] Chihaya
Sensei!
[10:52] Chihaya
Can I take Wataya-kun's place?!
[10:55] Arata
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...
[11:45] [POEM] Reader
the night is nearly past
[11:46] Chihaya
I'm not doing this for him.
[11:47] Chihaya
I'm...
[11:49] Chihaya
I'm the one who's going to defeat Taichi!
[11:56] [POEM] Reader
May the scarlet kadsuras
of Mount Afusaka...
[11:57] Chihaya
I know this one!
[12:01] Taichi
Wh-What are you doing?!
[12:04] Teacher
You're not supposed to use both hands.
[12:07] Chihaya
Huh? What order were these in?
[12:10] Taichi
You're out of control.
[12:13] Chihaya
When I was playing against Wataya-kun,
SIGN Emperor Sutoku
Swift waters parted by the jagged rocks
[12:16] Chihaya
I was focused on jumping into action
SIGN are joined at river's end
[12:18] Chihaya
as soon as I heard the first
word of the first verse.
[12:20] Chihaya
In other words...
[12:22] Chihaya
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.
[12:53] [POEM] Reader
For you, I head out to the
fields to pick spring greens
[12:54] Taichi
The second verse is "while snow falls upon..."
[12:57] Chihaya
I can't lose!
[12:58] Chihaya
Focus on Taichi's movements!
[13:00] Chihaya
Got it!
[13:02] Taichi
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!
[13:19] Person C
Pull it together!
[13:21] Taichi
They're right!
[13:23] Taichi
Focus!
[13:25] [POEM] Reader
For the...
[13:34] [POEM] Reader
May I find the...
[13:38] Person A
Chi-chan got the card!
[13:44] Arata
Only one left!
[13:51] Taichi
Only one left.
[13:53] Chihaya
Only one left.
[13:54] Chihaya
Huh?
[13:56] Chihaya
No way!
[13:57] Chihaya
I don't recognize any
of the other cards!
[14:01] Chihaya
What do I do?
[14:07] Chihaya
Oh!
[14:08] (Flashback) Arata
That's how I see it.

[14:42] Arata
She did it!
[14:46] Teacher
Our sixth grade champion is
Ayase Chihaya-san from Class 1!
[14:52] Taichi
Man! What's going on?!
[14:55] Taichi
Who cares if I'm not good at karuta!
[14:56] Chihaya
That was a really fun match!
[15:02] Chihaya
Karuta is so much fun!
[15:05] Chihaya
But it would be a different story if
[15:07] ---
you were playing against Wataya-kun!
[15:08] Chihaya
He's going to become a master.
[15:11] Shin
That makes you the Queen, Ayase-san.
[15:16] Chihaya
Queen?
[15:17] Arata
It's the title given to the
strongest female player.
[15:24] Chihaya
Queen...
[15:27] Chihaya
The best player in Japan...
[15:29] Chihaya
is the best player in the world!
[15:31] Arata
I believe that you have
the talent for karuta.
SIGN Ayase Chihaya This award certifies that you performed admirably in the 7th East Osato Elementary School Karuta Tournament
[15:41] Chihaya
Hello! Mom?
[15:42] Chihaya
There was a karuta tournament today!
[15:45] Mom
We don't have any time for that!
[15:46] Mom
There's a scout at our house
[15:48] ---
right now who's interested
in your sister.

We'll throw a party for your sister.

Geez... Hurry up, Mom.
[16:05] Chitose
Chihaya?
[16:06] Chihaya
Oh, Sis?
[16:07] Chihaya
That's great news!
[16:08] Chihaya
And today, I was in
a karuta tournament!
[16:11] Chitose
Karuta?
[16:12] Chitose
Boring. And lame.
[16:15] Chitose
I'm gonna hang up.
[16:21] Mom
How could you lose to a girl?
[16:23] Mom
I was recording your matches.
[16:25] Mom
Now I can't show this to your father.
[16:27] Taichi
I-I'm sorry...
[16:31] Mom
It doesn't matter if you
can play karuta or not,
[16:34] Mom
but if you're going to lose,
[16:36] ---
you're no longer allowed
to play in tournaments.
[16:37] Mom
You're a good student
and a good athlete.
[16:40] Mom
Focus on contests that you can win.
[16:53] Taichi
What?
[16:54] Taichi
You beat me.
Why are you so upset?
[16:56] Chihaya
I'm not.
[17:01] Chihaya
What's that sound?
[17:03] Taichi
Huh?
[17:04] Chihaya
Didn't you hear that slam?
[17:07] Chihaya
Oh, there it is again.
[17:09] Taichi
Sound?
[17:17] Taichi
Oh, I can hear it.
[17:18] Chihaya
See?
[17:19] Taichi
How good is your hearing?
[17:22] Chihaya
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
He can see everything!
[18:42] Taichi
What are you doing all alone here?
[18:45] Taichi
You like playing karuta that much?
[18:50] Chihaya
I'll go look for your glasses again!
[18:53] Taichi
H-Hey, Chihaya!
[18:55] Chihaya
There are a lot of crows around here,
[18:56] Chihaya
and one of them might have taken
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!
[19:10] Arata
It's okay!
[19:15] Chihaya
I have to find them!
[19:16] Chihaya
I have to find Wataya-kun's glasses!
[19:19] Chihaya
I want to help Wataya-kun play karuta!
[19:24] Arata
Ayase-san...
[19:31] Taichi
I...
[19:34] ---
found them in the hallway.
[19:40] Taichi
N-No.
[19:43] Taichi
I stole them.
[19:51] Chihaya
They're not here.
[19:53] Chihaya
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?

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?!

I would discover many lifelong
treasures this winter.
