**[00:02] (Flashback) Arata**
Sorry, but don't call me again.
**[00:06] (Flashback) Arata**
I stopped playing karuta.
**[00:12] Chihaya**
Hurry up!
**[00:19] Taichi**
You're the one who showed up late!
**[00:23] Chihaya**
It's not my fault!
**[00:24] Chihaya**
I couldn't fall asleep last night.
**[00:26] Taichi**
Man, you're like a little kid on
the night before a field trip.
**[00:30] Taichi**
You owe me juice.
**[00:31] Chihaya**
What?
**[00:34] Chihaya**
This.
**[00:35] Chihaya**
Can I get this and also the manju?
**[00:37] Taichi**
Hmm?
**[00:37] Taichi**
I already bought a gift for him.
**[00:41] Chihaya**
I'm going to eat these.
**[00:43] Person A**
Thank you very much.
**[00:45] Taichi**
I don't think it was
**[00:47] ---**
worth borrowing money from
your sister to make this trip.
**[00:53] Taichi**
Are you really that worried?
**[00:58] (Flashback) Arata**
Sorry, but don't call me again.
**[01:01] (Flashback) Chihaya**
Huh?
**[01:02] (Flashback) Arata**
I stopped playing karuta.
**[01:08] Chihaya**
*An unfamiliar deep voice...*
**[01:11] Chihaya**
*with a Fukui accent.*
**[01:14] Chihaya**
*If I don't go see him now,*
**[01:16] Chihaya**
*I'll never see him again.*

**[02:34] Taichi**
Hey, Chihaya!
**[02:35] Taichi**
It's Mt. Fuji!
**[02:37] Taichi**
Sure is beautiful.
**[02:41] Chihaya**
Ow!
**[02:42] Chihaya**
What was that for, Taichi?!
**[02:43] Taichi**
Sorry, my legs are too long!
**[02:46] Chihaya**
Mine are even longer!
**[02:48] Taichi**
We're on a trip!
Why don't you take in the scenery?
**[02:53] Taichi**
Arata probably found a different hobby.
***SIGN*** Ginza Superstar Sablé
**[02:56] Taichi**
That's normal.
**[02:58] Taichi**
It's not a reason to go see him.
**[02:59] Chihaya**
Y-You heartless bastard!
**[03:01] Taichi**
Men don't get touchy-feely
with each other.
**[03:07] Taichi**
So, Chihaya...
**[03:09] Chihaya**
Huh?
**[03:10] Taichi**
Is there someone you like?
**[03:14] Chihaya**
Dr. Harada!
**[03:16] Taichi**
Hah?!
**[03:17] Chihaya**
I try to give him chocolate on
Valentine's every year, but...
**[03:19] Harada**
No, I have my wife!
**[03:21] Taichi**
You shouldn't be giving her
a serious reply, Dr. Harada.
**[03:26] Taichi**
That wouldn't be considered love!
**[03:29] Chihaya**
What would be love then?
**[03:31] Taichi**
Love is when...!
**[03:38] Taichi**
It isn't fun to be with that person.
**[03:41] Chihaya**
What?!
**[03:42] Chihaya**
You don't have fun when you're
with your girlfriend?!
**[03:45] Taichi**
I have fun.
**[03:47] Taichi**
She listens to me, and she's sweet.
**[03:49] Chihaya**
So you just wanted to brag?
**[03:51] Chihaya**
You should have taken
her on a date then.
**[03:53] Chihaya**
Instead of wasting a day
off on a trip to Fukui.
**[03:57] Chihaya**
What?!
**[03:59] Taichi**
*She's ticking me off.*
**[04:01] Taichi**
You can't even buy a train
ticket by yourself!
**[04:04] Chihaya**
Oh! I forgot about that!
**[04:09] Taichi**
* It's when nothing goes*
* the way you want.*
**[04:11] Chihaya**
Hurry up!
**[04:12] Taichi**
There's no need to run!
***SIGN*** Shirasaki
***SIGN*** Kanezawa
**[04:18] Taichi**
*You're not having fun...*
**[04:20] Chihaya**
I wanted the window seat!
**[04:21] Taichi**
Pipe down! What's the difference?!
**[04:30] Taichi**
*And yet...*
**[04:33] Taichi**
*You still want to be with her.*
**[04:43] Taichi**
We're here!
**[04:49] Taichi**
If Arata's still living at the same address
**[04:50] Taichi**
that was on his New Year's
card from two years ago,
**[04:52] Taichi**
it shouldn't be that far-
**[04:54] Taichi**
Chihaya?
**[04:55] Chihaya**
Huh? What?
**[04:57] Taichi**
Let's find a taxi.
**[05:11] Chihaya**
*This is Fukui.*
**[05:14] Chihaya**
*This is where Arata lives.*
**[05:19] Chihaya**
*Arata.*
**[05:26] Chihaya**
*We're finally here.*
***SIGN*** Wataya
**[05:29] Taichi**
G-Go on, Chihaya.
**[05:31] Chihaya**
Y-You go first.
**[05:33] Taichi**
You're seriously starting
to piss me off!
**[05:36] Taichi**
Why are you so quiet now?!
**[05:38] Chihaya**
You said that men don't get
touchy-feely with each other!
**[05:39] Taichi**
I-I'm still nervous!
**[05:42] Chihaya**
Huh?! Why?!
**[05:44] (Flashback) Arata**
Mashima, you're...
**[05:47] (Flashback) Arata**
...a coward.
***SIGN*** Coward
**[05:49] Arata**
A little girl wouldn't understand.
**[05:51] Chihaya**
What's that?
**[05:52] Chihaya**
Stop trying to act all tough!
**[05:53] Kids**
She looks like a supermodel.
**[05:56] Yuu**
Excuse me!
**[06:00] Yuu**
Is something wrong?
**[06:02] Yuu**
I live next door.
**[06:04] Chihaya**
W-We're from Tokyo!
**[06:06] Yuu**
Arata?! Are you Arata's friends?!
**[06:09] Chihaya**
Yes! We were friends when
Arata lived in Tokyo!
**[06:12] Yuu**
Arata works at the bookstore by
the station during this time of day.
**[06:16] Chihaya**
The station!
**[06:17] Chihaya**
Let's go, Taichi!
**[06:19] Chihaya**
Back the way we came!
**[06:20] Chihaya**
The station wasn't that far away!
**[06:21] Chihaya**
Let's run!
**[06:22] Taichi**
I guess it's faster than
calling for another taxi.
**[06:25] Taichi**
And we have to save money
for the train ride home...
**[06:28] Chihaya**
Oh, I'm Chihaya.
**[06:30] Chihaya**
Thank you for telling us where he is.
**[06:32] Chihaya**
Okay, Taichi.
Let's go!
**[06:34] Taichi**
Hey, Chihaya!
**[06:36] Taichi**
Thanks.
**[06:44] Taichi**
Chihaya!
**[06:46] Taichi**
There's no need to run!
**[06:50] Chihaya**
But we have to hurry!
**[06:51] Taichi**
You're just gonna stand
outside the store anyway!
**[07:05] Taichi**
Anyway, Fukui's really something.
**[07:07] Taichi**
April's almost over, but the
cherry's are still blossoming.
**[07:22] Chihaya**
Do I want to see Arata?
**[07:27] Chihaya**
Or do I not want to see Arata?
**[07:39] Taichi**
I don't really care either way.
**[07:41] Taichi**
We can go home right now.
**[07:43] Chihaya**
Huh?
**[08:08] Chihaya**
Huh?
**[08:31] Taichi**
Are you okay, Chihaya?!
**[08:38] Arata**
Chihaya?
**[08:41] Chihaya**
I've missed you!
**[08:43] Chihaya**
I've missed you!
**[08:49] Chihaya**
I've missed you...
**[09:00] Yuu**
I'll leave a change of clothes here.
**[09:03] Chihaya**
Oh, okay.
**[09:12] Taichi**
*What am I supposed to do with this?*
**[09:17] Yuu**
Arata?
**[09:20] Yuu**
I'll be going home now.
**[09:21] Arata**
Okay.
**[09:23] Arata**
Sorry about this, Yuu.
**[09:26] Taichi**
U-Uh...
**[09:29] Taichi**
Uh, this is a Tokyo specialty.
**[09:34] Taichi**
Please take some.
**[09:36] Yuu**
Thank you...
**[09:39] Yuu**
Bye.
**[09:44] Taichi**
You've grown quite a bit.
**[09:46] Taichi**
How tall are you?
**[09:48] Arata**
173.
**[09:49] Taichi**
*I lost by a centimeter!*
**[09:50] Taichi**
O-Oh, what a coincidence.
**[09:53] Taichi**
I'm also 173.
**[09:57] Arata**
Sure you aren't rounding?
**[09:59] Arata**
You were always a coward.
**[10:04] Chihaya**
Th-Thank you for letting
me use your bath.
**[10:07] Taichi**
Huh?
**[10:08] Taichi**
Why did you wash your hair?!
**[10:11] Chihaya**
The back of my head
was covered in dirt!
**[10:13] Chihaya**
But my panties were okay!
**[10:14] Taichi**
Don't mention your panties!
**[10:16] Taichi**
Are you still in grade school?!
**[10:16] Chihaya**
Huh? What's wrong?
**[10:18] Chihaya**
They're my panties!
**[10:19] Taichi**
My point is...
**[10:19] Arata**
You can wear those clothes home.
**[10:23] Arata**
Once your hair dries, leave.
**[10:24] Chihaya**
Huh?
**[10:34] Taichi**
Chihaya, let's go.
**[10:37] Chihaya**
Wait!
**[10:38] Chihaya**
I wrote a letter for Arata!
**[10:40] Taichi**
A letter?
**[10:42] Taichi**
When we came all the way up here?
**[10:44] Chihaya**
Well, I figured that I
wouldn't know what to say,
**[10:46] Chihaya**
so it would be easier if I had
something to read off of!
**[10:48] Chihaya**
Here it is!
**[10:55] Chihaya**
Let's play karuta together
with the three of us!
**[11:01] Chihaya**
Can we use this room?
**[11:05] Taichi**
Chihaya?
**[11:07] Chihaya**
My favorite moment when playing karuta
**[11:10] Chihaya**
comes right before 25 cards are given
to each player and they're revealed.
**[11:16] Chihaya**
I get so excited when I picture
the good things to come.
**[11:20] Chihaya**
I picture myself winning.
**[11:23] Chihaya**
Isn't it the same for you?
**[11:26] Chihaya**
We were split up when we
started middle school,
**[11:30] Chihaya**
but I'm sure that you still
played karuta by yourself.
**[11:34] Chihaya**
You were getting better every day.
**[11:36] Chihaya**
I always believed-
**[11:42] Arata**
Don't you understand Japanese?
**[11:49] Arata**
I stopped playing karuta.
**[11:52] Arata**
I can't play.
**[11:54] Chihaya**
Huh?
**[12:03] (Flashback) Harada**
Glasses's grandfather
is an Eternal Master
**[12:06] (Flashback) ---**
who's famous in the karuta world.
**[12:08] (Flashback) Harada**
I immediately knew that his
grandfather had taught him the game.
**[12:14] Chihaya**
*Arata...*
**[12:14] Taichi**
That's a load of crap!
**[12:19] Chihaya**
Taichi!
**[12:20] Taichi**
Let's leave!
**[12:23] Taichi**
There's no point in
trying to talk to him.
**[12:25] Taichi**
This isn't the Arata we knew.
**[12:28] Chihaya**
That's not true!
**[12:29] Chihaya**
He must have a reason!
**[12:31] Chihaya**
I believe him!
**[12:33] Taichi**
If you believe him,
don't press the issue!
**[12:39] Taichi**
We didn't come here to see
you kick karuta cards!
**[12:42] Taichi**
We won't come back!
**[12:52] Chihaya**
Wait!
**[12:54] Chihaya**
Wait up, Taichi!
**[12:55] Chihaya**
Taichi!
**[12:59] Taichi**
Chihaya! Hey!
**[13:09] Yuu**
Don't leave these behind!
**[13:13] Yuu**
Take them with you!
**[13:28] Chihaya**
I was never good at anything.
I never had any dreams...
**[13:35] Chihaya**
But Arata told me that if I become
the best karuta player in Japan,
**[13:41] Chihaya**
I would be the best in the world.
**[13:45] Chihaya**
If I can be the best in
the world at something,
**[13:49] Chihaya**
I think it's worth a shot.
**[13:54] Chihaya**
Why...
***SIGN*** as my sleeves are wet with dew
**[13:56] Chihaya**
Why did Arata stop playing karuta?
**[14:00] Chihaya**
Did he really quit?!
**[14:03] Chihaya**
What happened?!
**[14:04] Chihaya**
Tell me!
**[14:20] Yuu**
Arata's grandfather, Mr. Wataya,
was an Eternal Karuta Master,
**[14:26] Yuu**
and he was the one who taught
Arata to play karuta.
**[14:31] Yuu**
Arata loved his grandfather so much.
**[14:34] Yuu**
Then, four years ago,
**[14:37] Yuu**
his grandfather had a stroke.
**[14:41] Yuu**
Arata was there to take
care of his grandfather.
**[14:44] Yuu**
He worked hard to help
with rehabilitation.
**[14:49] Yuu**
But one day, when Arata
was supposed to be home,
**[14:53] Yuu**
his grandfather suffered a relapse.
**[14:59] Person A**
Wataya-kun!
**[15:00] Person A**
Hurry home!
**[15:03] Person A**
Your grandfather suffered an attack!
**[15:15] Arata**
Grandpa...
***SIGN*** Champion Wataya Arata
**[15:17] Yuu**
Arata had gone to a tournament
to reach Class A!
**[15:27] Yuu**
Arata hasn't touched a card since.
**[15:32] Yuu**
He can't do it.
**[15:43] (Flashback) Arata**
Hey, Grandpa.
**[15:45] (Flashback) Arata**
How come you can take cards so fast?
**[15:50] (Flashback) Arata**
You move for the
"Would the" and "Would this"
**[15:52] (Flashback) ---**
cards after hearing "would"?
**[15:54] (Flashback) Arata**
Why?
**[15:55] (Flashback) Arata**
Come on, how can you tell?
**[15:58] (Flashback) Grandma**
Well, I suppose it's thanks
to the karuta god.
**[16:04] (Flashback) Arata**
The karuta god?
**[16:07] (Flashback) Grandma**
If you love karuta and
play it every day,
**[16:12] (Flashback) Grandma**
the karuta god will sometimes whisper
the next syllable in your ear.
**[16:19] (Flashback) Grandma**
You see, my love of karuta is still
**[16:22] (Flashback) Grandma**
just as strong as yours.
**[16:27] Arata**
*If there truly is a karuta god,*
**[16:33] Arata**
*he would look just like Grandpa.*
**[16:45] (Flashback) Chihaya**
Wait!
**[16:46] (Flashback) Chihaya**
I wrote a letter for Arata!
***SIGN*** If Arata has a cell phone, get his number!! Important!
***SIGN*** Ask if he received my New Year's card this year... The one I screwed up

***SIGN*** Dr. Harada wants me to send
him a picture of Arata.
**[17:09] Chihaya**
* Dr. Harada wants me to send*

**[17:13] Chihaya**
* Will I be able to meet Arata*
* at a Kyoto tournament?*
**[17:17] Chihaya**
*My sister's going to be on a quiz show.*
**[17:19] Chihaya**
*But only mention this if I
have nothing else to say.*
**[17:26] Arata**
This is the letter?
**[17:31] Chihaya**
* I believe that Arata*
* is like a karuta god.*
**[17:37] Chihaya**
* The longer we're apart,*
* the more you seem like a god.*
**[17:46] Arata**
*I'm no god.*
**[17:51] Arata**
*I'm nothing special.*
**[18:09] Arata**
I'm no god.
***SIGN*** Dr. Harada wants me to send
him a picture of Arata.
***SIGN*** Will I be able to meet Arata
at a Kyoto tournament?
**[18:12] Arata**
But I want to be your friend.
**[18:28] Taichi**
Chihaya!
**[18:29] Taichi**
Trains are considered public places.
**[18:31] Taichi**
Can you act like a human being?
**[18:36] Chihaya**
I shouldn't have come.
**[18:47] Chihaya**
Sorry, Taichi.
**[18:49] Chihaya**
We shouldn't have come to see him!
**[19:06] Taichi**
Chihaya?
**[19:13] Arata**
Chihaya!
**[19:15] Arata**
Taichi!
**[19:18] Chihaya**
Arata! Arata!
**[19:20] Taichi**
Arata!
**[19:22] Taichi**
We can't open this?!
**[19:28] Arata**
*I didn't want you to come see me...*
**[19:32] Arata**
* I didn't want you to*
* see what I've become!*
**[19:54] Arata**
*But...*
**[19:55] Arata**
*I really missed you.*
**[20:10] Taichi**
Chihaya?
**[20:14] Chihaya**
I'm so glad...
**[20:16] Taichi**
Huh?
**[20:18] Chihaya**
He doesn't hate it!
**[20:21] Chihaya**
It's not that Arata hates karuta now!
**[20:29] Taichi**
Don't sit down on the floor.
**[20:32] Taichi**
And stop babbling Arata.
**[20:35] Chihaya**
But...
**[20:36] Taichi**
And don't get snot everywhere!
Suck it up.
**[20:43] Taichi**
*Could you hear Arata's voice?*
**[20:47] (Flashback) Chihaya**
If I can be the best in
the world at something,
**[20:50] (Flashback) Chihaya**
I think it's worth a shot.
**[20:57] Taichi**
I'll help you start a karuta club.
**[21:00] Chihaya**
Huh?
**[21:02] Taichi**
If Arata's coming back,
**[21:04] Taichi**
we'll need to make the best
karuta club in Japan,
**[21:08] Taichi**
and wait for his return.
***SIGN*** Let's start a competitive karuta club!
***SIGN*** Please come see Ayase Chihaya in class 1-2!!
