[00:01] A
    This guy's the real deal.
[00:02] B
    I've never seen the Queen lose before.
[00:04] C
    He's 4-0 lifetime against the Queen.
[00:07] Ero
    He's no dark horse.
[00:10] Ero
    He's a true thoroughbred.
[00:14] Dad
    Wh-What do we do?
[00:16] Dad
    How are we going to get
    out of that promise?
[00:19] Dad
    Well?
[00:22] (Flashback) Ara
    I want you to let me attend
    a university in Tokyo.
[00:25] Dad
    I know!
[00:27] Dad
    Let's tell him that he has
    to win two years in a row!
[00:31] Mom
    There's something I haven't told you.
SIGN    Arata knows about this...
[00:34] Mom
    Grandpa took out an education
    life insurance policy for Arata.
SIGN    I was left
    out again?
[00:38] Dad
    Huh? What's that?
[00:40] Dad
    B-But aren't you going to
    miss having him around?
[00:43] Dad
    Plus, housing in Tokyo can be
    ridiculously expensive...
[00:46] Mom
    I don't look forward to being
    alone in the house with you...
[00:49] Dad
    What?
[00:50] Mom
    But...
[00:53] Mom
    Who's going to stop him?
[00:56] Mom
    He's doing what he loves
[00:58] Mom
    and shining at it, all on his own.
[01:03] Tai
    Incredible.
[01:06] Tai
    Incredible.
[01:08] (Flashback) Ara
    I'll win the individual
    tournament tomorrow
[01:11] (Flashback) Ara
    and go to Tokyo.
[01:13] Tai
    He even beat the Queen.
[01:15] Tai
    He's really going to...
[01:22] Ara
    Huh?
[01:24] Ara
    Aren't you supposed to
    high-five when you win?
[01:26] Tai
    Huh?
[01:27] Ara
    You also won your match, right, Taichi?
[01:31] Ara
    Congrats!
[01:39] Ara
    Chihaya?
[01:41] Chi
    Congratulations on your victory.
[01:45] Ara
    O-Oh, thanks.
[01:49] Chi
    How...
[01:52] Chi
    How are you always smiling?
[01:56] Chi
    How are you so calm
    when you play karuta,
[01:59] Chi
    even when you're up against someone
    as strong as Shinobu-chan?
[02:03] Chi
    How do you do it?
[02:07] Chi
    I'm always so intense when I play.
[02:12] (Flashback) Ara
    Sorry.
[02:15] Chi
    Impassionate...
[02:18] Chi
    How does he play karuta that way?
[02:27] Ara
    I—
[02:27] Mura
    It's time.
[02:30] Mura
    We need all the champions to
    assemble on the first floor.
[02:34] Mura
    Please start moving.
[02:36] Ara
    Sorry, I'll catch you later.
[02:46] Chi
    I'm working hard.
[02:49] Chi
    I've worked very hard.
[02:51] Chi
    But...
[02:53] Chi
    Something isn't right.
[02:56] Chi
    What is it?
[02:59] Chi
    What's wrong?
[03:01] Chi
    I don't know what the problem is,

[04:40] Chi
    Amazing!
[04:41] Miya
    Everyone did a wonderful job!
[04:44] Pork
    I figured Ayase's goal of winning
    every class was crazy...
[04:49] A
    Mizusawa's really good.
[04:50] A
    They won Classes B, C, and D.
[04:52] B
    Should've expected it after they
    won the team tournament.
[04:57] Chi
    But...
SIGN    Win every class
[04:59] Chi
    It was supposed to go like this!
[05:04] Chi
    I couldn't do it.
[05:07] Chi
    Everyone else did their best.
[05:12] Chi
    I couldn't do it.
[05:15] Sis

[05:46] Chi
    Goodbye!
SIGN    It's dangerous to give Eromu
     that kind of information
[05:54] Saku
    Has anyone else noticed?
[05:58] Saku
    Only two players went through the entire

    What is this?
[06:18] Chi
    The same reaction?
[06:20] A
    I can't tell what's wrong, so you'll
    need to visit a bigger hospital.

SIGN    Wh-What does that scary name mean?!
[06:43] Pork
    A-Are you okay, Ayase?
[06:45] Sumi
    Are your bones going to
    turn to mush or something?
[06:50] Chi
    They ran some tests,
[06:52] Chi
    and luckily it's only the third
    bone in my right index finger
[06:56] ---
    where the bone is softening.
SIGN    Only here
[06:59] Chi
    This is a really rare disorder,
[07:01] Chi
    and most people go through their entire
    lives without knowing they have it.
[07:06] Kana
    So...
[07:07] Tai
    What are you going to do, Chihaya?
[07:09] Chi
    I-I'm thinking about having an operation.
[07:12] All
    An operation?!
[07:14] Chi
    Most people can just ignore it,
[07:17] Chi
    but it's recommended that athletes
    and people who use their hands a lot
[07:21] Chi
    have an operation to put some
    firm material inside the bone.
[07:25] Chi
    It calls for full anesthesia and
    I'll be hospitalized for a week.
[07:28] Pork
    Full anesthesia and hospital time?!
[07:30] Tsu
    Isn't it just your finger?!
SIGN    You can't leave the same day?
[07:33] Chi
    I'm scared...
[07:35] Chi
    B-But I want to be able to play
    karuta without having to worry.
[07:42] Tai
    Even injured...
[07:43] Kana
    ...she only cares about karuta.
[07:47] Mom
    Well, at least it's summer vacation.
[07:50] Mom
    I need to get going. You'll be okay?
[07:52] Chitose

    Oh, you answered.

    You actually answer your phone, Arata.
[08:52] Chi
    My sister always ignores me.
[08:56] Ara
    Oh...
[09:02] Ara
    What's up?
[09:08] Pork
    She's not really a flower kind of person.
[09:10] Sumi
    Flowers are a must when
    visiting someone in the hospital!
[09:13] Sumi
    If I were in her shoes, I would
    want flowers as a present!
[09:17] Pork
    Wouldn't food also work?
[09:19] Pork
    She'd probably like chocolate more.
[09:21] Pork
    Or ice cream!
SIGN    I say we go with a book.
SIGN    This is the perfect opportunity for her to do some reading.
[09:26] Kana
    Honestly, just buy whatever you want.
[09:29] Pork
    Yes! Ice cream time!
[09:31] Sumi
    Wait! Ice cream is a bad idea!
[09:33] A
    Excuse me.
[09:34] Tai
    Huh?
[09:35] A
    Do you want any flowers?
[09:39] Tai
    Can I get some flowers that
    are a cheerful color?
[09:43] Tai
    She's probably feeling down.
[09:47] Chi
    Simply put, I want to
    get better at karuta!
[09:51] Ara
    That's simple, all right.
[09:54] Chi
    That's all I can think about.
[09:56] Chi
    I've been working really
    hard for a long time.
[10:03] Ara
    We aren't even playing,
    and you're already fired up.
[10:14] Chi
    It hurts...
[10:20] Chi
    It hurts...
[10:23] Chi
    The cicadas are loud.
[10:26] Chi
    I feel like we're in different countries.
[10:30] Chi
    Even though we can talk over the phone,
[10:33] Chi
    he's so far away.
[10:45] Ara
    You know, whether it's an official
    match or a practice match,
[10:49] Ara
    I always go back to that
    room when I'm playing.
[10:56] Chi
    That room?
[11:02] (Flashback) Gran
    When did you have the
    most fun playing karuta?
[11:06] Ara
    Where I was never scared,
    no matter who came in...
[11:10] Ara
    Where I was always happy, having fun,
[11:14] Ara
    and wishing it'd never end...
[11:17] Ara
    Back when you and I played karuta
    in that old apartment...
[11:36] Chi
    Back in that old
[11:39] ---
    apartment...
[11:41] (Flashback) Chi
    Wow, this place is falling apart.
[11:43] (Flashback) Ara
    L-Let's play!
[11:45] (Flashback) Ara
    If you become the best player in Japan,
[11:47] (Flashback) Ara
    you'll be the best in the world.
[11:50] Chi
    The time we spent playing there
    is making Arata stronger?
[11:54] Pork
    This hospital is huge.
[11:56] Tsu
    Whew, it's so cool inside.
[11:57] Kana
    Sorry, Chihaya-chan.
[11:58] Kana
    We ran late.
SIGN    It's too hot outside today.
[12:01] Pork
    The chocolate's melting.
[12:07] Chi
    I don't understand.
[12:10] Chi
    I don't understand these feelings...

    I'll always love karuta,

[12:22] chi
    and I'll always love Arata.
[12:28] A
    The operation was a success,
[12:30] A
    so you just have the
    pain to worry about.
[12:32] A
    We'll keep an eye on it and,

[13:41] (Flashback) ---
    If the poem is written in classical language,
[13:43] (Flashback) ---
    only 10% of the meaning is understood!
[13:46] (Flashback) Kana
    You must accept that

    I managed to compose five poems

    It looks like the operation
     was a success, too.
[16:35] Tai
    She should recover in time

[16:46] Tai
    What is it, Oe-san?
[16:50] Kana
    You have to try harder, Prez!
[16:58] Kana
    You don't have to invite me along

[17:04] Kana
    You can't expect Chihaya-chan

    Absolutely not!
[17:42] Ara
    Sorry.
[17:45] A
    Honestly...
[17:54] A
    Goodbye, Coach.
[17:56] Saku
    Be careful on your way home.
[17:57] Ero
    Coach, it's getting dark,
    so I'll walk you home.
[18:01] Saku
    No, thanks.
[18:03] Saku
    If I'm around you too much, I'm
    afraid I'll have dreams about you.
[18:05] Ero
    I'd want that!
[18:07] Saku
    And why are you here when
    you've already left the club?
[18:09] Saku
    Yes, hello?
[18:11] Chi
    Coach Sakurazawa?
[18:13] Saku
    Oh, Ayase-san?
[18:14] Chi
    Thank you very much for sending
    the DVD of the high school final!
[18:19] Saku
    Was it useful?
[18:21] Chi
    Yes, I've been watching it every day.
[18:23] Chi
    I'm so glad I got to see what happened
[18:25] ---
    at the start of the match.
[18:28] Chi
    Both players were incredible.
[18:29] Chi
    I saw Arata—
[18:31] Chi
    I saw Wataya-kun play for the
    first time, thanks to you.
[18:35] Saku
    I see.
[18:37] Chi
    What were your thoughts on
    that match, Coach Sakurazawa?
[18:42] Saku
    Well...
[18:44] Saku
    Wataya-kun had a very
    balanced play style.
[18:49] Saku
    There's nothing special
    about his game sense,
[18:51] Saku
    but he was consistent and caught
    every partial syllable.
[18:54] Saku
    I would guess he's a right
    brain memorizer,
[18:57] Saku
    but he also uses his left brain, so
    fatigue isn't as much of a factor.
[19:01] Saku
    The Queen is also special.
[19:04] Saku
    I'd love to know how she
    connects to the cards.
[19:07] Saku
    She appears to be apologizing
    when she moves cards.
[19:12] Saku
    Her connection to the cards is very deep.
[19:15] Saku
    Plus, she isn't afraid of committing faults.
[19:17] Saku
    Her playing style reflects her
    trust in her own karuta.
[19:21] Saku
    Oh, sorry about that.
[19:22] Saku
    I got carried away.
[19:24] Chi
    No, that was very educational!
[19:26] Chi
    It helps a lot!
[19:28] Saku
    Good.
[19:32] Saku
    Ayase-san, would you be interested in
[19:35] ---
    participating in a Fujisaki
    two-day karuta camp?
[19:37] Saku
    Along with the president and
    other players from Mizusawa.
[19:43] Chi
    I'll come!
[19:44] Chi
    I just had an operation on my
    right hand, but I'll come!
[19:47] Saku
    Operation?
[19:53] Chi
    H-Here we are...
[19:56] Tai
    Let's go.
[20:00] Chi
    I wish the other players
    could have joined us.
[20:04] Chi
    I guess it can't be helped that the Suihoku
    society has its camp at the same time.
[20:08] Chi
    Sumire-chan and Tsukuba-kun
    are also busy...
[20:13] Kana
    Prez, I'll deal with the first-years.
[20:18] Kana
    It has to be the two of you
    going to Shizuoka alone!
[20:23] Tai
    Anyway, are you sure
    about this, Chihaya?
[20:27] Tai
    You were told not to do any
    physical activity for a month.
[20:30] Chi
    Yeah,
[20:33] Chi
