**[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,*
**[03:04] Chi**
*but something's wrong.*
***SIGN*** Ayase.
***SIGN*** Chihaya Furu
***SIGN*** Verse 25
***SIGN*** I can
look up
and see
the snowy
cap of
Mt. Fuji
***SIGN*** Class A Champion Wataya Arata (2nd Year)
***SIGN*** Class B Champion Mashima Taichi (2nd Year)
***SIGN*** Class C Champion Komano Tsutomu (2nd Year) plus 1 other
***SIGN*** Class D Champion Tsukuba Akihiro (1st Year) plus 3 others
**[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**
I'll carry your stuff.
**[05:17] Miya**
Everyone have everything?
**[05:19] Miya**
Let's get going then.
**[05:21] Saku**
Ayase-san.
**[05:23] Chi**
Coach Sakurazawa...
**[05:26] Saku**
Would you like video of the Class A final?
**[05:30] Chi**
You have video?!
**[05:31] Chi**
Yes, please!
**[05:32] Saku**
Okay...
**[05:33] Saku**
This is my e-mail address.
**[05:36] Chi**
O-Okay.
**[05:38] Saku**
Give me your contact information.
**[05:41] Tai**
Chihaya! We're leaving!
**[05:44] Chi**
Thank you very much!
**[05:44] Ero**
Curses!
**[05:46] Ero**
Even I don't have her e-mail address!
**[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*
**[06:00] ---**
*high school tournament without a loss.*
**[06:03] Saku**
*Wataya Arata from Fukui*
**[06:06] Saku**
*and Mashima Taichi from Mizusawa.*
***SIGN*** Surgical Hospital
**[06:16] A**
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.
**[06:22] Chi**
What?!
***SIGN*** First General Hospital
**[06:26] A**
What is this?
**[06:27] Mom**
Not again?
**[06:29] A**
I think we need an MRI.
**[06:32] Chi**
What?!
**[06:33] A**
Don't move.
**[06:38] All**
E-Enchondromatosis?!
***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**
Take good care of my laptop.
**[07:55] Chi**
Uh-huh.
**[07:56] Mom**
We'll come back tomorrow
before your operation.
***SIGN*** Final Match

**[08:12] B**
Isn't that Hundred Poets
karuta, Toko-san?
**[08:20] A**
Why does she look like that?
**[08:22] B**
It's just karuta...
***SIGN*** Ayase Chitose

Oh, the Millennium is
taken from Chitose.
***SIGN*** Chitose --> 1000 Years --> Millennium
**[08:35] A**
Arata-kun, are you a fan of her?
**[08:38] A**
I prefer girls with bigger boobs.
**[08:41] A**
Like, big enough to close you in between them.
**[08:42] [Messenger] A**
Ayase Chihaya
**[08:45] Ara**
Yes, hello?
**[08:47] Chi**
Oh, you answered.
**[08:48] Ara**
What's that?
**[08:50] Chi**
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...*
**[12:14] Chi**
*But...*
**[12:16] Chi**
*For the rest of my life,*
**[12:19] Chi**
*I'll always love karuta,*
***SIGN*** the red that is the Tatsuta River
**[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,
if everything looks okay,
**[12:34] A**
you'll be discharged
in a week as planned.
**[12:37] B**
What are you doing?!
***SIGN*** Nervous
**[12:39] A**
No practice swings until the cast is off.
**[12:44] Chitose**
Is this going to leave a scar?
**[12:46] Chitose**
Yikes...
**[12:47] Mom**
Stop that, Chitose.
**[12:47] Chitose**
And your summer vacation is ruined...
**[12:49] Mom**
We're going home.
**[12:50] Chitose**
Okay.
**[12:51] Chitose**
Try to finish your homework.
**[12:57] Chitose**
Oh, this is a present.
**[13:02] A**
Doing homework?
**[13:04] Chi**
Oh, yes.
**[13:05] A**
That's very responsible of you.
**[13:06] A**
Don't push yourself too hard.
***SIGN*** Year 2 Classical Literature
Special Assignment
Compose 20 poems
**[13:11] (Flashback) Kana**
Chihaya-chan...
**[13:13] (Flashback) Kana**
It's not difficult to compose poetry.
**[13:18] (Flashback) Kana**
You just have to translate
your feelings into meter.
**[13:25] (Flashback) Kana**
But...
**[13:27] (Flashback) Kana**
You must be able to read poetry
before you can compose poetry!
***SIGN*** Compose
***SIGN*** Compose Read
**[13:31] (Flashback) Kana**
I believe that amateurs can only
understand 50% of verbal poems.
**[13:38] (Flashback) Kana**
When written out in modern
language, it goes down to 30%.
**[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
you don't understand
**[13:47] (Flashback) Chi**
V-Verbal? Cl-Classical?
**[13:48] (Flashback) ---**
what you think you understand!
**[13:49] (Flashback) Kana**
I recommend you start
by reading these books!
**[13:52] (Flashback) Chi**
N-Not happening...
**[13:54] Chi**
* I managed to compose five poems*
* in a rush before July ended.*
**[14:11] Chi**
I want to play karuta.
**[14:14] (Flashback) Ara**
I always go back to that
room when I'm playing.
**[14:26] (Flashback) Ara**
If you become the best player in Japan,
**[14:29] (Flashback) Ara**
you'll be the best in the world.
**[14:36] Chi**
*Ever since meeting Arata,*
**[14:39] Chi**
*my life has been all about karuta.*
**[14:45] Chi**
*Always striving to become stronger*
**[14:49] ---**
*and stronger*
**[14:52] Chi**
*so I can be able*
**[14:55] ---**
*to receive his passion.*

**[15:05] Kana**
Here you are, Prez.
**[15:11] Kana**
Chihaya-chan.
**[15:14] Kana**
You're working hard.
**[15:15] Kana**
Is that your summer homework?
**[15:17] Chi**
Uh-huh.
**[15:18] Tai**
Is it okay for you to be moving around?
**[15:21] Tai**
You can hold off on the twenty poems.
**[15:25] Tai**
In the sweltering summer sunlight,
**[15:28] Tai**
I feast upon a whirlwind of ice cream.
**[15:31] Kana**
Since I could not stop
thinking of Shinobu-chan,
**[15:35] Kana**
I wonder if she is
practicing right now.
**[15:38] Chi**
Yeah...
**[15:39] Tai**
Were you actually trying?
**[15:41] Tai**
Your grade will drop for every
one of these you turn in.
**[15:43] Chi**
What? Really?
***SIGN*** Pardon?
***SIGN*** 6 Inside a room isolated from the summer heat, I feel bliss upon hearing your words.
**[15:47] ---**
* Inside a room isolated*
* from the summer heat,*
**[15:52] ---**
*I feel bliss upon hearing your words.*
**[15:59] Tai**
How's your finger?
**[16:00] Chi**
It's fine.
**[16:01] ---**
I don't remember a thing
after I was knocked out,
**[16:03] Chi**
but I needed four stitches.
***SIGN*** 7 Will I ever turn the corner and find you? I can only wait for a dream or a miracle.
**[16:07] Chi**
*Will I ever turn the corner and find you?*
**[16:12] Chi**
*I can only wait for a dream or a miracle.*
**[16:28] Tai**
She's doing better than I expected.
**[16:32] Tai**
It looks like the operation
was a success, too.
**[16:35] Tai**
She should recover in time
for the fall tournament.
**[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
when you visit her in the hospital.
**[17:04] Kana**
You can't expect Chihaya-chan
**[17:05] ---**
to be clueless for the rest of her life!
**[17:19] Tai**
I know.
**[17:39] A**
Ayase-san! No practice swings!
**[17:41] A**
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**
but I've never gone such a long
time without playing karuta.
**[20:38] Chi**
