[07:17] Player Robot 3     We can't catch Sumika-san's fully     geared-up fastballs and breaking balls. [07:23] Yukino     I see. [07:26] Yukino     If I may, can I try catching your ball?

[15:09] Sumika     You were a regular player from your first     year at Kanagawa Kourin Middle School, [15:13] Sumika     on its prestigious softball team. [15:14] Sumika     In your second year, you were     catcher and number three hitter. [15:18] Sumika     In the world of softball,     you were pretty famous. [15:21] Yukino     Yes... [15:23] Sumika     But in your third year,     you didn't join any team. [15:27] Sumika     There must be a reason, right? [15:29] Sumika     A reason why you left softball,     but you still keep batting. [15:35] Yukino     Can you make some time for     me before practice tomorrow? [15:45] Saki     Wow. [15:50] Hiyori     What an impressive house. [15:52] Sumika     Is that a dojo? [15:54] Yukino     Yes, it's a kendo dojo. [15:56] Yukino     We don't have any pupils or     instructors right now, though. [16:07] Yukino     My father and my brother. [16:10] Yukino     Three years ago, they went     to visit a friend's dojo. [16:12] Yukino     On the way back, they got     in a traffic accident. [16:17] Yukino     Can you come meet my grandfather? [16:20] Yukino     Master, may we come in? [16:23] Souichi     Please. [16:26] Souichi     Hey there, welcome. [16:29] Saki & Hiyori & Sumika     Hello. [16:31] Yukino     My grandfather is a master swordsman, [16:34] Yukino     and has taught a style called "Tachibana-ryu." [16:38] Yukino     My father was supposed to take over after     my grandfather, and my brother after him. [16:44] Yukino     That's what everyone thought. [16:47] Yukino     I studied the sword just a little, [16:51] Yukino     but was mostly allowed     to do whatever I wanted. [16:55] Yukino     Lots of cultural activities,     and softball in middle school. [17:00] Yukino     When our whole family     was alive, I was very happy. [17:05] Yukino     But after my father and brother passed away, [17:07] Yukino     and after my grandfather     got seriously injured, [17:10] Yukino     my mother has supported     this family all by herself. [17:15] Yukino     In order to carry on the will that     my father and brother left behind, [17:20] Yukino     in order to carry on the legacy of     Tachibana-ryu that my grandfather inherited, [17:27] Yukino     I must train, so that I can take     over Tachibana-ryu and this dojo. [17:32] Yukino     That's why I quit sports and the other     activities to concentrate on swordsmanship. [17:40] Yukino     So... [17:41] Yukino     I don't have time to have fun     singing and playing sports. [17:51] Yukino     I'm sorry I made you come     all the way out here. [17:54] Yukino     I'll send you off. [17:55] Hiyori     Our practice! [17:57] Hiyori     You won't be coming anymore? [18:04] Shiho     Oh, are you all leaving so soon?

[18:16] Shiho     I'll have this wrapped up,     so you can take it home with you. [18:20] Shiho     Yukino, if you could, please. [18:22] Yukino     Yes. [18:36] Shiho     I see. That's what she said. [18:40] Hiyori     It all started when I asked her for help. [18:44] Hiyori     I'm sorry I made her get concerned... [18:47] Shiho     No, when she talked about you, she seemed     like she genuinely had a good time. [18:52] Shiho     She was really impressed by how you all [18:55] Shiho     were fighting hard in the     tough world of sports idols. [18:59] Shiho     Both her grandfather and     I are really glad to hear [19:02] Shiho     that Yukino wants to take     over Tachibana-ryu. [19:07] Shiho     But she's only sixteen. [19:10] Shiho     Sixteen is one of the most fun     points of a person's life, right? [19:15] Shiho     Playing with friends,     getting into something exciting... [19:19] Shiho     I don't want her to paint over all of     those opportunities with a sense of duty. [19:24] Shiho     Her father and brother would     have opposed that, too. [19:30] Shiho     I want Yukino to find something she can     really get into. My father agrees. [19:36] Shiho     If playing with you is that thing,     they I want to support that. [19:41] Yukino     Here are the gifts. [19:44] Yukino     I'll leave them here. [19:46] Shiho     Oh, Yukino, come here for a second... [19:50] Shiho     She's...

[20:24] Hiyori     If Yuki-chan really wants to dedicate     herself 100% to the way of the sword, [20:29] Hiyori     it would be bad for us to push her too hard. [20:32] Hiyori     But when she was playing baseball,     she really seemed to be having a good time. [20:37] Saki     During singing lessons, too. [20:39] Sumika     Playing is more fun than     tough training, that's obvious. [20:44] Sumika     But still... [20:46] Sumika     She looked like she was about     to cry when she turned us down.
