[03:55] Arata     Place this in front of you, Mashima. [03:58] Taichi     So I'm responsible for these? [03:59] Arata     These are yours, Chihaya. [04:01] Arata     Line them up in three rows. [04:03] Chihaya     I haven't learned some     of these cards... [04:06] Arata     It's okay. [04:07] Person A     Once the cards have been placed, [04:08] ---     you have 15 minutes     of memorization time. [04:10] Chihaya     Memorization time? [04:12] Arata     You're given time to memorize     the positions of the cards. [04:15] Arata     If you can't memorize the positions,     you don't stand a chance. [04:17] Arata     Naturally, you'll need to memorize both     our cards and the other team's cards. [04:19] Chihaya     Memorize?! [04:21] Chihaya     Memorize the positions     for all 100 cards?! [04:24] Chihaya     Um, this is... [04:28] Arata     Chihaya, come here for a second. [04:30] Chihaya     What?! I haven't memorized     any of them yet! [04:32] Arata     We're allowed to go wherever we     want during these 15 minutes. [04:35] Arata     Let's hold a meeting outside. [04:39] Arata     First, Chihaya has all of     the "first syllable" cards. [04:42] Arata     You go for these cards as soon as [04:44] ---     you hear one of the first syllables,      such as "rain" or "waves." [04:48] Arata     There are seven of these. [04:51] Arata     The rest are "second-syllable"     cards that begin with "the." [04:53] Chihaya     Uh-huh! [04:54] Arata     Mashima has the "long shot" cards [04:57] ---     that need more words to be identified. [04:59] Taichi     Hmm? [05:00] Arata     Such as "the hazy early     morning" and "for you, I." [05:03] Arata     There are cards that begin with     the same string of words. [05:06] Arata     They're called "long shot" cards because [05:07] ---     you have to gamble on     which card to take. [05:10] Arata     It'll be your call to make. [05:11] Arata     Go for the cards as soon     as they're called. [05:14] Arata     I gave you most of the cards     that need more words. [05:15] Taichi     Go for them as soon as they're called? [05:17] Taichi     What if I take the wrong card? [05:19] Arata     You'll be fine! [05:20] Taichi     Why's he taking the lead? [05:22] Chihaya     Rain, waves, long, gust,     all, look, swift... [05:25] Chihaya     Rain, waves, long, gust,     all, look, swift... [05:26] Taichi     Why do we even need a strategy? [05:29] Taichi     You should have just played     Retro-kun by yourself, Wataya. [05:33] Taichi     Wouldn't it be easier without     us to hold you back? [05:38] Arata     I wanted to play as a team. [05:44] Chihaya     We can be a team! [05:48] [POEM] Reader     Look for... [05:56] Chihaya     That was a "one-word" card! [05:58] Chihaya     Aren't those supposed to be mine?! [06:00] Arata     But you were too slow.

[06:13] Arata     But we touched the wrong card, [06:14] ---     so they get to pass one of theirs to us. [06:16] Arata     It's a wash. [06:18] Arata     I'll help you on the "long shot" cards. [06:20] Arata     Even if you take the wrong card,     we still won't fall behind. [06:23] Taichi     Th-This isn't called playing     as a team, you bastard! [06:26] Chihaya     He doesn't trust us to do anything! [06:33] Person A     Doctor?! [06:35] Person B     He's celebrating this     lucky pickup, right? [06:37] Person C     The boy with the glasses     is more than just good. SIGN    Rain takes longer to dry in the autumn time [06:42] Chihaya     He took my card again!

[06:56] Taichi     Chihaya... [06:58] Taichi     There's no reason to try so hard. [07:01] Taichi     Wataya said that he wanted     to play as a team, [07:04] Taichi     but he wasn't expecting     anything from us. [07:07] Taichi     He wasn't expecting anything. [07:09] [POEM] Reader     The hazy early morning mist     over the Kawagiri River [07:12] Taichi     Awesome! I got the right card, Wataya! [07:15] [POEM] Reader     but from the crystal     white snow of Yoshino [07:17] Taichi     That's the other "the hazy     early morning" card. [07:22] Arata     Nice job, Taichi!
