[00:15] Miwa
    I resign.
[00:23] Yu
    But how?
[00:25] Voice
    The titleholder Mikadono lost twice in a row?
[00:27] Voice
    And it was to Ms. Yaotome,
    who never beat her before.
[00:32] (Flashback) Kazuki
    The title matches are best three out of five.
[00:37] Yu
    I can't believe Miwa-san has
    her back against the wall.
[00:42] Yu
    Miwa-san!
[00:43] Sakura
    If you're looking for Miwa Mikadono,
    she already left.
[00:49] Yu
    Yaotome-san?

[02:25] Sakura
    Your name was Yu Ayase-kun, correct?
[02:28] Sakura
    Did you come all the way here
    to pick up that washed-up loser?
[02:31] Yu
    "Washed-up"?
[02:33] Sakura
    Miwa Mikadono didn't do enough research.
[02:35] Sakura
    She relied too much on her genius.
[02:38] Sakura
    It looked like she had her sights
    set on an endgame battle.
[02:42] Sakura
    But her moves were too sloppy
    earlier in the game.
[02:45] Sakura
    Her first time ever losing twice in a row—
[02:47] Sakura
    and to me, no less!
[02:49] Sakura
    I'll bet she's already back home
    crying from the humiliation!
[02:52] Miwa
    Sob! I lost to Yaotomecchi!
[02:56] Sakura
    I suggest you hurry back home for her sake.
[02:59] Yu
    Yaotome-san.
[03:00] Sakura
    Wh-What?
[03:03] Yu
    Thank you so much!
[03:05] Sakura
    Wh-Why are you thanking me?
[03:08] Yu
    Because what you're saying
[03:09] Yu
    is essentially that Miwa-san
    wasn't playing at her best.
[03:12] Yu
    If she trains and works on her game plan,
    she can stage a comeback.
[03:16] Yu
    So you want me to go comfort her, since she's
    probably crushed from her first double loss.
[03:21] Yu
    That's the sense I got from you.
[03:22] Sakura
    Wh-Whaa?
[03:24] Sakura
    That's not what I meant!
    Stop trying to read between the lines!
[03:28] Yu
    But you're still here,
    even though the match is long over.
[03:32] Yu
    You must've been waiting,
    thinking you might run into me.
[03:35] Sakura
    N-No, I wasn't!
[03:37] Yu
    Yaotome-san, I thought the way you did
    your grand entrance was really cool.
[03:44] Yu
    Anyway, I'll see you later.
[03:48] Yu
    Oh, and one more thing.
[03:52] Yu
    Don't think this is the end for Miwa Mikadono.
[04:00] Sakura
    What the heck? You're just a supporter!
[04:04] Sakura
    You think you're so smart, Yu Ayase?
[04:08] Sakura
    I know darn well that Miwa Mikadono
    is much better than this!
[04:13] Yu
    I'm back!
[04:15] Both
    Y-Yu...
[04:18] Yu
    Th-They're bleak!
[04:20] Yu
    Did something happen? Where's Miwa-san?
[04:23] Niko
    That's the thing.
[04:25] Niko
    She came back and all,
    but the next thing we knew...
[04:28] Kazuki
    She ran out the door again.
[04:31] Yu
    She ran away from home?
[04:33] Yu
    W-Was she that devastated
    from her second loss?
[04:36] Niko
    No way! She's stronger than that!
[04:38] Niko
    Still... I do think she's feeling pretty down.
[04:44] (Flashback) Niko
    You just have to win three!
    Don't lose heart, Miwa!
[04:47] (Flashback) Kazuki
    She's right! Those last matches
    are yours to win!
[04:50] (Flashback) Niko
    You're just like us!
    You've dedicated your life to shogi!
[04:55] (Flashback) Niko
    That hard work will win out!
[04:57] (Flashback) Kazuki
    I learned just recently that failure
    isn't necessarily a bad thing.
[05:02] (Flashback) Kazuki
    I'm sure you'll—
[05:03] (Flashback) Miwa
    Shove it.
[05:04] (Flashback) Miwa
    I'm not like you two.
[05:16] Kazuki
    I guess she takes title matches that seriously.
[05:21] Niko
    Hearing amateurs try to give advice
    only pissed her off more.
[05:26] Niko
    Miwa's the type who stews silently
    whenever she's furious.
[05:30] Kazuki
    But that was the first time
    we've seen her that incensed.
[05:38] Kazuki
    Hey! Where do you think you're going?
[05:40] Yu
    I'm going to look for Miwa-san!
[05:42] Niko
    But how?
[05:44] Kazuki
    She's not answering her phone,
    so you won't know where to look!
[05:46] Yu
    You two stay home in case she comes back!
[06:02] Yu
    Miwa-san...
[06:04] Miwa
    Shove it. I'm not like you two.
[06:15] Yu
    What could make Miwa-san so mad?

[06:23] Yu
    Th-There she is!
[06:30] Yu
    Miwa-san!
[06:32] Miwa
    Yu-kun?
[06:34] Yu
    Thank goodness you're safe and sound.
[06:36] Yu
    Though I didn't expect to find you here.
[06:39] Miwa
    What did you expect?
[06:45] Yu
    Something like this.
[06:47] Miwa
    Something like what?
[06:50] Staff
    Here.
[06:51] Yu
    Th-Thank you.
[07:03] Yu
    Do you come here often?
[07:06] Miwa
    On occasion.
[07:08] Miwa
    We're all too busy for pets, and Kazu-nee
    is a little allergic to them anyways.
[07:14] Miwa
    And we could never take care of a kitty with
    our housekeeping skills. It'd be too cruel.
[07:20] Yu
    U-Uh, right.
[07:23] Yu
    But it's a relief knowing
    you're able to cheer yourself up.
[07:28] Yu
    You might have lost the first
    two matches in your title series,
[07:31] Yu
    but you're still in it to win.
[07:33] Yu
    Now that you've regained your spirit,
    I know you can beat Yaotome-san!
[07:48] Yu
    She's inhaling a cat?
[07:51] Miwa
    Yu-kun...
[07:52] Miwa
    All shogi pros dedicate their
    entire lives to the game.
[07:58] Miwa
    They study day in and day out,
    because they live for shogi.
[08:04] Miwa
    Every one of them is that way.
[08:07] Yu
    I know. I can tell by watching how you train.
[08:11] Miwa
    Not me.
[08:13] Miwa
    My connection to shogi...
[08:16] Miwa
    It's not like that.
[08:20] Yu
    But you're constantly
    practicing so hard at home.
[08:23] Miwa
    That's just... for the accomplishment.
[08:28] Miwa
    To me, shogi is just a way
    of being accomplished.
[08:33] Miwa
    I could've just as well been accomplished
    at go, chess, or any other game.
[08:37] Miwa
    It didn't matter at all.
[08:41] (Flashback) Mr. Mikadono
    Miwa, you're a prodigy.
[08:44] (Flashback) Mr. Mikadono
    You have a gift that could never
    be obtained through mere effort.
[08:48] (Flashback) Mr. Mikadono
    You're a true natural talent.
[08:50] (Flashback) Mr. Mikadono
    Show everyone how truly gifted you are.
[09:00] (Flashback) Reporter
    She broke the record for youngest champion!
[09:03] (Flashback) Reporter
    She's an actual wunderkind!
[09:08] (Flashback) Mr. Mikadono
    Well done, Miwa.
[09:10] (Flashback) Niko
    You beat male pros? Holy cow!
[09:13] (Flashback) Kazuki
    I'll admit that I'm proud
    to have you as my sister.
[09:16] Miwa
    Dad would praise me for my accomplishments.
[09:22] Miwa
    I'd be just as good as Kazu-nee and Niko-chan.
[09:27] Miwa
    That was my only reason for playin' shogi.
[09:30] Miwa
    That's it.
[09:33] Miwa
    And yet...
[09:42] (Flashback) Miwa
    Why do you two always work so hard, anyways?
[09:47] (Flashback) Kazuki
    I love shining brightly when I'm onstage.
[09:50] (Flashback) Niko
    It's a lotta fun training and getting stronger.
[09:55] Miwa
    And yet what they told me never clicked.
[09:59] Miwa
    Kazu-nee and Niko-chan are
    pursuing what they truly love.
[10:05] Miwa
    They're nothing like me, who only uses
    shogi as a means to be accomplished.
[10:12] (Flashback) Miwa
    I'm not like you two.
[10:16] Miwa
    Shogi is scary competitive.
[10:19] Miwa
    You can sense how determined
    your opponent is from across the board.
[10:24] Miwa
    And I always felt, deep down,
[10:25] Miwa
    that people could see exactly how shallow
    my commitment was to the game.
[10:31] Miwa
    I knew all along...
[10:34] Miwa
    that someone like me...
    was gonna stop winning one day.
[10:55] Yu
    Thank you for confiding in me, Miwa-san.
[11:01] Miwa
    I don't know... if I wanna go home.
[11:07] Yu
    I hear you.
[11:11] Yu
    And we still have time.
[11:15] Yu
    I'm not letting you go home
    just yet, Miwa-san.
[11:30] Yu
    Good thing it stopped raining.
[11:34] Yu
    I'm not letting you go home
    just yet, Miwa-san.
[11:42] Miwa
    Y-Yu-kun?!
[11:48] Yu
    Just look at all this variety.
[11:50] Yu
    This is the largest supermarket around here.
[11:53] Miwa
    What, ya just wanted to do some
    shoppin' on the way home?
[11:57] Yu
    No, Kazuki-san and Niko-san thought
    it must've been their fault you left home.
[12:05] Yu
    So bringing them gifts would be
    a good way to make amends.
[12:09] Miwa
    Yeah, I suppose...
[12:11] Yu
    Let's make sweets.
[12:13] Yu
    Do you know their favorite treats?
SIGN    Listen, the only things I want
    are the things that complement me.
[12:18] Miwa
    Kazu-nee always puts on grown-up airs,
    so she might like something bittersweet.
[12:23] Miwa
    Since she drinks coffee,
    maybe coffee jelly could work.
[12:26] Miwa
    Ah, but it can't look too plain!
SIGN    It's just an herbarium for my room!
[12:30] Miwa
    Niko-chan's really been getting
    into cutesy stuff lately.
SIGN    The interior needed some color!
[12:34] Miwa
    And since it turns out
    she's been hiding a sweet tooth,
[12:37] Miwa
    I'd say we go for a cute little cupcake.
[12:41] Yu
    Those would work.
[12:42] Yu
    We should use natural sweeteners
    with no calories or sugar.
SIGN    Zero Syrup
[12:47] Yu
    That way, they won't worry about their diets.
[12:49] Miwa
    They really do have everything here.
[12:55] Miwa
    This'll be perfect for Kazu-nee,
    and this for Niko-chan!
SIGN    Saika Academy
[13:03] Yu
    I-I can't believe they let you in
    this late at night. You really are a Royal.
[13:10] Miwa
    So why're we at school?
[13:12] Yu
    To cook here so we won't
    spoil the surprise at home.
[13:18] Miwa
    Actually, I've been wondering for a while now.
[13:22] Miwa
    How're you this good at cooking, Yu-kun?
[13:25] Miwa
    Sure, your meals taste average.
[13:27] Miwa
    But are ya some kinda failure
    with a hidden talent?
[13:30] Yu
    No way! My cooking's only passable, but it
    stands out because I fail at everything else!
[13:34] Yu
    I mean it! I struggle every time I cook!
[13:38] Yu
    But... I did suck at everything as a kid.
[13:44] Yu
    I felt so inferior to my talented mom
    that I started avoiding her.

[13:50] Yu
    But then one morning...
[13:52] Yu
    I made breakfast just for the heck of it.
[13:55] Yu
    When I did...
[13:56] Yu
    I ran into my mom,
    who'd come in late from work.
[14:01] (Flashback) Subaru
    Let me try.
[14:06] (Flashback) Yu
    So, um...
[14:07] (Flashback) Subaru
    Wow, this is nice.
[14:11] Yu
    Hearing my mom praise me made me so happy.
[14:15] Yu
    I wanted to see my mom smile again,
[14:19] Yu
    so I practiced cooking. A lot.
[14:22] Miwa
    Huh...
[14:24] Yu
    But all my other attempts...
[14:26] Yu
    either tasted terrible despite looking
    appetizing or went the other way around.
[14:30] Yu
    And my mom was too busy
    to eat whatever I made.
[14:35] Yu
    I eventually got tired of it, wondering
    what was the point of even trying.
[14:41] Yu
    It was then that my mom became hospitalized.
[14:46] (Flashback) Yu
    I'm going shopping. Is there anything you need?
[14:56] (Flashback) Subaru
    I want...
[14:59] (Flashback) Subaru
    I want to eat something you made, Yu.
[15:07] (Flashback) Nurse
    Just watch the sodium content
    and her allergies listed here.
SIGN    SLASH!!
SIGN    Creamy Milk
[15:32] (Flashback) Subaru
    Tastes great.
[15:34] (Flashback) Subaru
    Please make more for me, Yu.
[15:40] Yu
    I made my mom's meals
    throughout her time in the hospital.
[15:46] Yu
    Just thinking about my mom—
[15:48] Yu
    how I could make someone's face
    light up just by cooking for them—
[15:51] Yu
    made me gradually get better and better.
[15:56] Yu
    It's a miracle!
[15:57] Miwa
    I don't think it's that surprising.
[16:00] Yu
    You also had fun choosing
    ingredients for your sisters.
[16:06] Yu
    You were imagining Kazuki-san
    and Niko-san's reactions, weren't you?
[16:10] Miwa
    N-No, I wasn't! It was just fun
    to explore such a huge supermarket!
[16:15] Yu
    Sure. Now, let's add the finishing touches.
[16:22] Yu
    Miwa-san.
[16:25] Yu
    You said at the café you were
    different from Kazuki-san, Niko-san,
[16:29] Yu
    and other professional shogi players.
[16:33] Yu
    You also called yourself shallow
    for only playing shogi
[16:37] Yu
    to receive praise and recognition from others.
[16:42] Yu
    But that means you want to see
    your dad happy and proud of you.
[16:49] Yu
    And you want to be as good as your sisters
    because you love them so much.
[16:57] Miwa
    Th-Those aren't my real motivations!
[16:59] Yu
    There's nothing wrong with that.
[17:03] Yu
    Some people don't strive
    in order to better themselves,
[17:06] Yu
    or even to rise to the top.
[17:09] Yu
    They do it to please another. So that
    someone they love will be proud of them.
[17:14] Yu
    I can't imagine a better reason
    to do your best.
[17:18] Yu
    It shows what a kind and caring person you are.
[17:26] Yu
    These turned out so pretty!
SIGN    Coffee Jelly and Cupcake for the Sisters
[17:29] Yu
    Kazuki-san and Niko-san will be thrilled!
[17:35] Miwa
    So I can...
[17:37] Miwa
    do my best for the people I love?
[17:47] Miwa
    Wh-Why must you pop up in my head?!
[18:02] Miwa
    You're sound asleep? What are you, a kid?
[18:07] Miwa
    Still...
[18:09] (Flashback) Yu
    Miwa-san!
[18:10] (Flashback) Miwa
    Yu-kun?
[18:12] (Flashback) Yu
    Thank goodness you're safe and sound.
[18:15] (Flashback) Yu
    So bringing them gifts would be
    a good way to make amends.
[18:19] (Flashback) Miwa
    Yeah, I suppose...
[18:21] (Flashback) Yu
    Let's make sweets.
[18:24] (Flashback) Yu
    I can't imagine a better reason
    to do your best.
[18:27] (Flashback) Yu
    It shows what a kind and caring person you are.
[18:53] Miwa
    Thanks, Yu-kun.
[19:20] Both
    You're late, Yu!
[19:22] Kazuki
    We were so relieved when you first
    told us you found Miwa...
[19:25] Niko
    ...so what kept you away for four more hours?!
[19:27] Yu
    S-Sorry! I guess I kept you two up with worry.
[19:33] Kazuki
    We could hardly go to sleep
    with the door unlocked!
[19:35] Niko
    I was up doing homework anyway!
[19:37] Miwa
    Kazu-nee, Niko-chan, Yu-kun's not to blame.
[19:42] Miwa
    It's my fault.
[19:44] Miwa
    He helped me make these for you.
[19:47] Kazuki
    Sweets?
[19:49] Miwa
    Sorry I was mean to you guys.
    Hope this makes up for it.
[19:54] Kazuki
    Wait, what?
[19:55] Niko
    You made these, Miwa?
[19:57] Yu
    She made those while thinking
    what you guys would like.
[20:00] Yu
    Those sweets are truly one-of-a-kind.
[20:03] Yu
    I just lent a hand.
    Miwa did the finishing touches, too.
[20:08] Niko
    Y-You sure had us figured out.
[20:11] Kazuki
    Honestly, why would you make sweets
    with hardly any shelf life?
[20:16] Kazuki
    It's too late at night, but I'll humor you
    by eating it while it's fresh.
[20:20] Kazuki
    This is good.
[20:21] Niko
    Hey, Kazuki! Mine looks way fancier than yours!
[20:25] Kazuki
    Imbecile. Presentation
    requires striking a balance.
[20:28] Kazuki
    Excess decoration is never ideal.
[20:31] Niko
    Wha?
[20:31] Niko
    Mine obviously took more time
    to make. What are you, blind?
[20:36] Kazuki
    You can plainly see that mine is superior!
[20:38] Kazuki
    It strikes the perfect balance between
    flavor, presentation, and color!
[20:44] Yu
    Can you please not turn our
    peace offering into a war?
[20:49] Miwa
    Yu-kun.
[20:50] Yu
    Y-Yes?
[20:51] Miwa
    I-I wanted to say sorry for putting
    you through all that trouble...
[20:56] Miwa
    so here.
[20:57] Yu
    Y-You made one for me?
[20:59] Yu
    But when did you do it?
[21:01] Yu
    Thank you so much.
[21:04] Niko
    Whoa! It looks just like him!
[21:07] Kazuki
    Oh? You decorated a giant
    marshmallow with chocolate?
[21:11] Niko
    Huh?
[21:12] Niko
    Hold up, Miwa. What's going on
    with the hairline?
[21:16] Kazuki
    Indeed, it appears to be receding.
[21:23] Yu
    Has my hair always been that thin?
[21:28] Kazuki
    I'd say this awkward
    appearance suits you better.
[21:32] Miwa
    S-Stop starin' at it and just
    eat the thing already!
[21:36] Yu
    U-Uh, sure!
[21:37] Niko
    Sheesh, don't be so mad, Miwa.
