***SIGN*** Second Keika Title Match
**[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?*
***SIGN*** Catnip Cat Café

**[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.
