    Round 2 will begin at 1 p.m., after lunch.
[00:06] Niina
    To get to the convenience store, go out of
    the gate, turn right, and walk for 200 meters.
[00:10] Shiki
    That's right... I need to go buy lunch...
[00:15] Mari
    Want to share my lunch with me?
[00:17] Shiki
    Huh?!
[00:20] Mari
    I ended up with a little too much.
[00:23] Inoue
    Koshiyama!
[00:28] Mari
    Do you want some, too, Inoue-kun?
[00:30] Inoue
    Thank you!
[00:34] Inoue
    I'm so happy I get to eat your
    homemade lunch, Fukami-san!
[00:39] Mari
    Actually, my mom made it. I only packed it.
[00:43] Inoue
    I'm so happy!
[00:45] Shiki
    Thank you for sharing.
[00:47] Shiki
    I'm going to buy a drink

SIGN    Question 3: "If You Want the Right to Answer /"
[02:33] Shiki
    What is quiz bowl, anyway?
[02:35] Gakuto
    Quiz bowl is a game known by
    everyone around the world.
[02:40] Shiki
    Sasajima-senpai...
[02:43] Gakuto
    Reading a book of quiz
    questions? That's good.
[02:47] Gakuto
    Question collections like that
    include a lot of classics.
[02:50] Shiki
    If I'd known it would be like this,
     I would've memorized them in advance.
[02:54] Shiki
    If you don't know the question,
    you can't buzz in, right?
[02:58] Gakuto
    Disappointed to learn what it's all about?
[03:01] Shiki
    Not so much disappointed... Just, well...
[03:04] Shiki
    It's not what I expected quiz bowl to be.
[03:07] Gakuto
    It's true that if you only look at the
    classics, it seems less like quiz bowl
SIGN    The fall paddy shacks have rough
    thatching as my sleeves are wet with dew
    
    Emperor Tenji
[03:11] Gakuto
    and more like the Hundred Poets game, where
    you grab the second verse based on the first.
SIGN    as my sleeves are wet with dew
[03:15] Gakuto
    But there is one marked difference.
[03:18] Gakuto
    The classics aren't limited to 100.
[03:22] Gakuto
    They're constantly being updated, and there
    are different ways of asking them, too.
[03:25] Shiki
    But...
[03:26] Gakuto
    Thousands of questions could
    potentially be regarded classics.
[03:30] Gakuto
    No one person can memorize them all.
[03:32] Shiki
    But everyone else was buzzing early.
[03:35] Shiki
    I don't think I can...
[03:37] Gakuto
    I don't know about that.
[03:39] Gakuto
    Competitions are a matter of chance.
[03:41] Gakuto
    They're fun because you never
    know what can happen.
[03:44] Gakuto
    There are those who can still buzz in
    without knowing the classics.
[03:50] Gakuto
    I expect a good showing in the next round.
[03:53] Shiki
    Easy for him to say...
[03:57] Niina
    The second round will see the winners of
    Round 1 take part in a "fastest finger board."
[04:02] Niina
    Only three competitors will advance
    through to the final round!
[04:06] Niina
    Here are the rules. A "fastest finger board"
[04:08] Niina
    combines elements from the fastest finger
    quiz bowl and the board-style quiz bowl.
[04:12] Niina
    As in the "fastest finger" format, when a
    contestant knows an answer, they buzz.
[04:17] Niina
    At that point, the question
     will stop being read.
[04:21] Niina
    Then, instead of getting the contestant
    who buzzed to say the answer,
[04:25] Niina
    all six contestants write their
    answers on a whiteboard.

[04:37] Niina
    Contestants who didn't buzz are
    not penalized for a wrong answer.
[04:41] Niina
    You'll have ten seconds to consider your answers.
[04:43] Shiki
    So everyone has the right to
    answer, even if they don't buzz in?
[04:47] Shiki
    Maybe I can do this, after all.
[04:49] Niina
    There will be 15 questions.
[04:51] Niina
    The three with the most points
    at the end will advance to the final.
[04:55] Niina
    Now, let's proceed with the buzzer test.
[05:00] Shiki
    Good!
[05:05] Shiki
    Round 2 will now begin!
[05:08] Nakazawa
    Question.
[05:09] Nakazawa
    Used in tying knots such as the clove hitch,
     the figure eight, and the Prusik knot,

[05:24] Niina
    "Seil." All contestants are correct!
[05:27] Inoue
    Damn Koshiyama...
    He's supposed to be a newbie!
[05:31] Nakazawa
    Question.
[05:32] Nakazawa
    Located in South Dakota, America, the
    four former presidents: Washington,
[05:35] Nakazawa
    Jefferson, Roosevelt, and Lincoln are—
[05:38] Shiki
    The four former presidents listed are...
[05:43] Niina
    The correct answer is Mount Rushmore.
SIGN    Mount Rushmore
[05:45] Niina
    Sorry, you two from Sekigawata.
[05:48] Nakazawa
    Question.
[05:49] Nakazawa
    The first person to reach the South Pole
    was Norwegian explorer, Amundsen. But which—
[05:56] Sasaki
    Why did he buzz before
    the determining point?
[05:58] Maruyama
    Looks like Mikuriya's getting going.
[06:00] Shiki
    Questions continuing from
    a connector like "while" or "and"
[06:03] Shiki
    have some kind of connection to the first part,
[06:05] Shiki
    but the question's asking
    something different, right?
SIGN    Uemura Naomi

SIGN    Scott
[06:12] Niina
    The correct answer is Peary!
SIGN    Peary
[06:15] Niina
    The first person to reach the South Pole
    was Norwegian explorer, Amundsen.
[06:20] Niina
    But which American explorer was
    the first to reach the North Pole?
[06:24] Niina
    That's the question in full.
[06:26] Yuki
    Oh, it was that one...
[06:28] Shiki
    I thought it was asking who the second
    person to reach the South Pole was...
[06:31] Shiki
    How did he know it would
    be about the North Pole?
[06:35] Nakazawa
    Question.
[06:36] Nakazawa
    The first shogun of the Kamakura shogunate
    was Minamoto no Yoritomo. But who—
[06:41] Shiki
    Huh?
[06:42] Sasaki
    Seriously, dude. Too soon.
[06:43] Mikuriya
    Nice going, question reader.
[06:46] Niina
    Show your boards!
SIGN    Hojo Masako
SIGN    Prince Morikumi
[06:49] Niina
    This means...
SIGN    Hojo Tokimasa
[06:50] Niina
    Mikuriya-kun's correct!
SIGN    Tokugawa Ieyasu
[06:52] Niina
    The question was,
[06:53] Niina
    "The first shogun of the
    Kamakura shogunate was Minamoto no Yoritomo.
[06:57] Niina
    But who was the first regent?"
[07:00] Inoue
    I can't even read what Koshiyama wrote.
[07:03] Gakuto
    He wrote "Prince Morikumi."
[07:05] Gakuto
    He heard "first shogun," so he answered
    with the ninth and last shogun.
[07:09] Maruyama
    How did Mikuriya know that answer?
[07:11] Ashiya
    It's all about accentuation.
[07:13] Ashiya
    "Parallel questions" are a type of question in
    which a word given as a hint in the first half
[07:17] Ashiya
    is changed in the second half
[07:19] Ashiya
    to ask a different, but related, question.
[07:22] Ashiya
    But sometimes, the person
     reading the question
[07:25] Ashiya
    will actually emphasize
    the keyword as a hint.
[07:28] Ashiya
    Since he placed emphasis on "shogun,"
[07:30] Ashiya
    Mikuriya predicted that the second
    half would ask for "the first something."
SIGN    The first shogun of the Kamakura shogunate was Minamoto no Yoritomo.
[07:36] Ashiya
    In parallel questions about officials
    in the Kamakura Shogunate,
SIGN    The first shogun of the Kamakura shogunate
     was Minamoto no Yoritomo.
SIGN    The first shogun of the Kamakura shogunate
    was Minamoto no Yoritomo.
    But who was the first regent?
[07:39] Ashiya
    it's common to pair a shogun with a regent.
[07:43] Ashiya
    He scares me, and I'm on his team.
[07:46] Ashiya
    And the way he shows no mercy to newbies
    shows his lack of maturity as a quizzer.
[07:51] Mikuriya
    Not even letting the others
    hear the whole question
[07:54] Mikuriya
    is just another tactic.
[07:57] Nakazawa
    Question.
[07:58] Nakazawa
    Beethoven's 3rd Symphony is
    titled "Eroica." Wh—
[08:02] Mari
    I couldn't hear the accentuation.
[08:04] Mari
    Did I miss it?
[08:05] Shiki
    Beethoven's 3rd Symphony...
[08:08] Shiki
    A different question connected to that...
[08:10] Mikuriya
    If you think all questions connected by "and" are parallel, you're dead wrong.
[08:14] Niina
    The correct answer is Napoleon!
SIGN    Napoleon
[08:16] Shiki
    Huh?!
[08:17] Niina
    "Who does the title refer to?"
    was the question in full.
[08:21] Niina
    Only Mikuriya-kun guessed correctly!
[08:23] Mari
    I get it... That time, the info
    just prefaced the question.
[08:27] Mari
    That's why he didn't emphasize
    any particular word.
[08:29] Shiki
    That wasn't the question
    I was expecting at all.
[08:32] Shiki
    I can't predict what the
    questions are going to be...
[08:37] Shiki
    It's no use! I can't make
    sense of any of these!
[08:40] Mikuriya
    Maybe I should give everyone
    else a chance to get one right.
[08:42] Mikuriya
    This kid next to me is getting even smaller.
[08:45] Mikuriya
    His answers have all been
    really close, though...
[08:52] Nakazawa
    Question.
[08:53] Nakazawa
    Absent in the Spring is one of
    many romance novels by—
[08:58] Shiki
    Absent in the Spring was
    written by Agatha Christie.
[09:02] Shiki
    Wait...
SIGN    Agatha
[09:03] Shiki
    The question's actually given
    the title of the novel...
[09:07] Shiki
    Of course! This must be the answer!
SIGN    Agatha Christie
SIGN    Agatha Christie
SIGN    Agatha Christie
SIGN    Agatha Christie
SIGN    Mary Westmacott
[09:16] Niina
    The correct answer is Agatha Christie.
[09:18] Shiki
    No way! I was so sure!
[09:21] Mikuriya
    He really is...
[09:25] Niina
    The question was, "Absent in the
    Spring is one of many romance novels
[09:30] Niina
    by the so-called mother of Hercule Poirot,
SIGN    Mary Westmacott
[09:33] Niina
    a character created by
    which English mystery writer?"
[09:35] Mikuriya
    For him to come up with Mary
    Westmacott so naturally...
[09:39] Gakuto
    "Mary Westmacott" was the
    pen name Christie used
[09:44] Gakuto
    when she wrote romance novels, so that
    readers wouldn't confuse them for mysteries.
[09:48] Inoue
    Isn't that a correct answer too, then?
[09:51] Gakuto
    The question asked which mystery
    author created Poirot.
[09:55] Gakuto
    It is still judged as being incorrect.
[09:57] Shiki
    What is this feeling?
[09:59] Shiki
    I've never felt like this before.
[10:02] Chiaki
    What a tantalizing expression.
[10:05] Nakazawa
    He's thinking along the right lines...
[10:08] Shiki
    If I can just predict the rest
    of the question, I can do this!
[10:11] Shiki
    I can get the right answers!
[10:13] Shiki
    Guessing wrong when I know
    the right answer is infuriating!
[10:17] Niina
    Four questions remain!
[10:19] Niina
    Be careful, but be bold!
[10:21] Nakazawa
    Question.
[10:22] Nakazawa
    Summer Wars and The Girl
    Who Leapt Through Time are—
[10:26] Shiki
    Summer War?
[10:28] Shiki
    The Girl Who Leapt Through Time was
    written by Tsutsui Yasutaka, wasn't it?
[10:32] Niina
    Show your boards!
SIGN    Sadamoto Yoshiyuki
[10:33] Niina
    The correct answer is Hosoda Mamoru.
[10:35] Sasaki
    What?!
[10:37] Niina
    "Summer Wars and The Girl Who
    Leapt Through Time are two movies
SIGN    Hosoda Mamoru
SIGN    Hosoda Mamoru
[10:41] Niina
    directed by which renowned
    Japanese anime director?"
SIGN    Tsutsui Yasutaka
SIGN    Sadamoto Yoshiyuki
[10:46] Gakuto
    Ohbayashi... Good taste.
[10:48] Nakazawa
    He clearly knows a lot. It's a real shame.
[10:51] Nakazawa
    If he had the ability to predict
    the rest of the question...
[10:55] Nakazawa
    Question.
[10:56] Nakazawa
    The 19th Century musician, Liszt, was known
     as the "magician of the piano." But who—
[11:03] Mikuriya
    That was blatant.
[11:05] Shiki
    That was a funny way to read the question.
[11:08] Shiki
    If it's asking a separate
    question in the second part,
[11:11] Shiki
    then riffing off of "magician,"
    maybe it'll be "poet"?
[11:14] Shiki
    Or is it the "magician of the violin"?
[11:17] Shiki
    If only I could have heard
    a "p" or "v" before he buzzed in...
[11:22] Shiki
    The way he read it...
[11:23] (Flashback) Nakazawa
    The first person to
    reach the South Pole...
[11:25] Shiki
    He did it in that question, too.
[11:27] (Flashback) Nakazawa
    The first shogun of...
[11:28] Shiki
    And that one!
[11:29] Shiki
    They were read that way, too!
[11:32] Gakuto
    That was an obvious one.
[11:34] Inoue
    Huh?
[11:35] Niina
    Show your boards!
[11:36] Niina
    The correct answer is Chopin!
[11:36] [SONG] Text
    Chopin
[11:37] Shiki
    Y-Yes!
[11:39] Niina
    "The 19th Century musician, Liszt, was known
     as the 'magician of the piano.'
SIGN    Mozart
[11:42] [SONG] Text
    Chopin
[11:44] Niina
    But who was known as
    the 'poet of the piano'?"
[11:48] Gakuto
    By intentionally adding specific
    intonation and emphasis,
[11:51] Gakuto
    the reader flagged up what question
    would be asked in the second part.
[11:55] Inoue
    Oh, the "magician" thing?
[11:57] Gakuto
    Yes.
[11:58] Shiki
    I was right!
[11:59] Shiki
    There was a hint in the
    way he read the question!
[12:02] Shiki
    Did Mikuriya-kun notice how it was read?
[12:05] Mikuriya
    He's finally caught on...
[12:08] Ashiya
    An accentuation, huh?
[12:09] Ashiya
    It wasn't easy to make an accurate guess
    from the way he read that, though.
[12:13] Chiaki
    Not surprising from Sekigawata,
    a school famous for its quiz bowl team.
[12:17] Nakazawa
    Question.
[12:18] Shiki
    Pay attention to the way he reads it, too!
[12:20] Nakazawa
    A lone woman in a group of men is
    known as a "single bright flower."
[12:25] Nakazawa
    In the Wang Anshi poem, said to be—
[12:29] Shiki
    Yes! I was able to buzz in!
[12:32] Shiki
    Buzzing in really does feel good!
SIGN    A Single Bright Flower in the Green
[12:37] Shiki
    I predicted that the question would ask for
    the relevant verse in the Wang Anshi poem.
[12:41] Shiki
    That would be "a single bright
    flower in the greenery."
SIGN    A Single Bright Flower in the Greenery
[12:44] Shiki
    The poem is about
    a lone pomegranate blossom,
[12:46] Shiki
    blooming in an expanse of green leaves.
[12:49] Shiki
    That flower is the "single bright flower."
SIGN    A Single Bright Flower in the Greenery
[12:51] Shiki
    This has to be right.
[12:53] Shiki
    But... why does something
    feel off about this?
[12:56] Shiki
    Think hard!
SIGN    Agatha Christie Mary Westmacott
[12:57] Shiki
    All the answers I've tried
    to guess have been wrong.
SIGN    Prince Morikumi Hojo Tokimasa
[13:00] Shiki
    Why?
SIGN    A Single Bright Flower in the Greenery
[13:02] Shiki
    They're easy questions,
    but I'm making them harder...
[13:05] Shiki
    Easy?
[13:07] (Flashback) Gakuto
    The earlier in the meet you are,
[13:08] (Flashback) Gakuto
    the more likely you are to get classic
    questions with simple construction.
[13:14] Shiki
    I just have to go for it!

[13:30] Shiki
    I was right! My prediction was right!
[13:33] Niina
    The complete question was,
[13:35] Niina
    "A lone woman in a group of men is
    known as a 'single bright flower.'
[13:39] Niina
    In the Wang Anshi poem, said to
    be the origin of this phrase,
[13:43] Niina
    what kind of flower was the
    'single bright flower'?"
[13:45] Yuki
    He wasn't getting anything right before...
[13:50] Niina
    And we've arrived at the last question!
[13:52] Niina
    It's a close race to make
    it into the top three!
[13:55] Shiki
    The end already?
[13:57] Sasaki
    I'm in second. I'm guaranteed to advance.
[13:59] Sasaki
    I just need to hold my position.
[14:01] Kouzuki
    I need to avoid buzzing and
    just go for the single point.
[14:04] Kouzuki
    But if Maririn gets three
    points, I'll drop below her!
[14:08] Mari
    I need to buzz in and get three
    points to get into third place.
[14:11] Mari
    That's my only chance to win!
[14:12] Shiki
    What kind of question will be next?
[14:14] Shiki
    Will I get to buzz again?
[14:15] Mikuriya
    What's the point in getting
    all serious about this?
[14:18] Nakazawa
    Question.
[14:20] Nakazawa
    Michelangelo's "The Last Judgment" can be
    found in the Sistine Chapel. But Da—
[14:25] Shiki
    Mikuriya-kun?!
[14:26] Sasaki
    I thought he wouldn't bother
    buzzing on this one!
[14:31] Shiki
    After he said "Da," I think I heard
    him forming the sound of a "v"...
[14:36] Shiki
    The statue of David!
[14:37] Shiki
    It fits with Michelangelo,
    so it has to be right!
[14:40] Shiki
    This is the answer!
[14:41] Shiki
    The statue of David is in the
    Galleria dell'Accademia!
SIGN    Galleria dell'Accademia
[14:44] Niina
    The correct answer is
    Santa Maria delle Grazie!
SIGN    Santa Maria delle Grazie
[14:47] Shiki
    What?!
[14:49] Niina
    The rest of that question was,
[14:50] Niina
    "But da Vinci's 'The Last Supper' can
    be found in which church in Milan?"
[14:56] Shiki
    It wasn't David, but da Vinci?!

    good, but I'll give it my best shot!
[15:30] Shiki
    I think I understand why people care
    so deeply about quiz bowl now.
[15:36] Shiki
    I've only taken part in a few quizzes,
[15:38] Shiki
    but every time I do one,
[15:39] Shiki
    I start to see a world I never knew before.
[15:42] Gakuto
    Koshiyama, you'll need to
    start with the basics.
[15:46] Gakuto
    There was no way David would be
    the answer to that last one.
[15:49] Gakuto
    I know I'd never ask
    a question like that, though.
[15:52] Shiki
    Oh...
[15:53] Gakuto
    There's no connection between paintings
    and sculptures, nor chapels and museums.
[15:58] Gakuto
    There's no artistry in a parallel like that!
[16:00] Shiki
    Who cares about artistry?!

    Welcome, young players.
[16:06] Niina
    The moment you took that first
    step into the world of quiz bowl,
[16:10] Niina
    you became fellow members
    of our quiz cluster!
[16:14] Niina
    After knocking it out of the park
    against a field of rookies,
[16:16] Niina
    these three have advanced
    through to the final round!
[16:19] Niina
    The Four Schools Quiz Meet to decide the King
    of the Newcomers has reached its final stage!
[16:24] Niina
    The rule of this round is "five right, two wrong."
[16:26] Shiki
    "Five right, two wrong"?
[16:27] Niina
    The first to five correct answers wins.
[16:30] Niina
    But answer two questions wrong
    and you'll be eliminated.
[16:34] Shiki
    Oh, so that's what it means!
[16:36] Mari
    You wanted to keep playing?
[16:38] Shiki
    Huh? Uh, no, I'm worn out for today...
[16:41] Shiki
    Besides, quiz bowl is a lot
    harder than I thought.
[16:47] Mari
    That's true.
[16:49] Mari
    It's not so easy that a newcomer
    school like ours could come here and win.

[17:00] Nakazawa
    Question.
[17:01] Nakazawa
    Known as "The Abbey,"
[17:03] Nakazawa
    the church in London that houses
    the graves of Newton and Darwin,
[17:07] Nakazawa
    and where many British monarchs
    have had their coronations—
[17:11] Mikuriya
    Westminster Abbey.
[17:12] Niina
    Correct!
[17:14] Shiki
    After hearing all that,
    even I knew the answer.
[17:17] Shiki
    That question was longer
    than the ones in round 2.
[17:21] Shiki
    I guess Mikuriya-kun waited to hear
    most of the question before buzzing
[17:24] Shiki
    because no clear hints were
    given until the very end.
[17:29] Nakazawa
    Question.
[17:30] Nakazawa
    The rule that warm-blooded animals of the
    same taxonomical clade living in cold areas—
[17:35] Yuki
    Uh... Allen's rule!
[17:37] Niina
    Sorry!
[17:38] [SONG] Text
    Q: The rule that warm-blooded animals
    of the same taxonomical clade living in cold areas are larger than those living
    in warm areas is known by what name?
SIGN    A. Bergmann's rule
[17:39] Niina
    The answer is Bergmann's rule.
[17:41] Mari
    The latter rounds really are tough.
[17:45] Nakazawa
    Question.
[17:46] Nakazawa
    Made famous as the theme of Wagner's
    The Ring of the Nibelung,
[17:51] Nakazawa
    what word from Norse mythology
    signifies the—
[17:54] Mikuriya
    Sieg—
[17:56] Shiki
    The Ring of the Nibelung is an
    epic performed over four nights.
[18:01] Shiki**
    The prelude is The Rhinegold*.
[18:02] Shiki
    The first night is The Valkyrie.
[18:04] Shiki
    The second night is Siegfried...
[18:07] Mikuriya
    Another word that originated from*
    Norse mythology is "Valkyrie"...
[18:11] Maruyama
    Oh? Is Mikuriya about to get his
    first wrong answer of the day?
[18:15] Shiki
    The third night, the final
    act, is Twilight of the Gods*.
[18:19] Shiki
    In the end, the final battle*
    between the gods and the giants
[18:21] Shiki
    turns everything into a sea of fire,
[18:23] Shiki
    and the world meets its end.

[18:32] Shiki
    Ragnarok!
[18:42] Niina
    Uh... That question won't be counted.
[18:47] Gakuto
    I'm so sorry!
[18:50] Gakuto
    We'll be more careful.
[18:54] Gakuto
    Koshiyama, we're leaving.
[18:57] Niina
    Oh, there's no need to go that far...
[18:59] Gakuto
    No, that's the rule.
[19:06] [SONG] Text
    Q: Made famous as the theme of Wagner's
    The Ring of the Nibelung, what word from Norse
    mythology signifies the end of the world
    and means "Twilight of the Gods"?
[19:07] Mikuriya
    Ragnarok was the correct answer, wasn't it?
SIGN    A: Ragnarok
[19:09] Niina
    Yeah, it was.
[19:11] Mikuriya
    He arrived at the right answer before I did!
[19:15] Shiki
    Um... I'm sorry.
[19:18] Gakuto
    It's my fault for not teaching
    you the proper etiquette.
[19:22] Shiki
    No, it's obvious to anyone that
    I shouldn't have shouted the answer out.
[19:26] Gakuto
    The only ones allowed to answer are
    those who have earned the right to.
[19:30] Gakuto
    Reacting in a way that
    suggests you know the answer
[19:33] Gakuto
    and pretending to press a buzzer
    button are inappropriate.
[19:36] Shiki
    I'm sorry.
[19:38] Gakuto
    Do you want the right to answer?
[19:40] Shiki
    Huh?
[19:41] Gakuto
    If you do, improve your technique,
[19:43] Gakuto
    store up more knowledge...
[19:46] Gakuto
    and learn the ways of quiz bowl.
[19:50] Gakuto
    Quiz bowl is more than just
    showing off your knowledge.
[19:53] Gakuto
    It includes many rules and strategies.
[19:57] Gakuto
    Enjoying the game and competing to
    win is what quiz bowl means to us.
[20:02] Gakuto
    That's competitive quiz bowl.
[20:07] Niina
    The King of the Newcomers is
    Mikuriya-kun of Miyaura High School!
[20:12] Gakuto
    Sounds like it's all over.
[20:14] Shiki
    I wish I could've watched it to the end...
SIGN    Yukicchi
SIGN    It was such a happy surprise to see you today! I guess quiz bowl has kept us connected! We're in different high schools, but let's continue to hang out like we did in middle school! And good luck with your quiz bowl team! I'll do my best, too! Give my regards to the bookworm (lol) of Buzou High!
[20:28] Inoue
    Well, I switch trains here.
[20:30] Gakuto
    See you.
[20:31] Mari
    Thanks for coming today!
[20:33] Shiki
    When I thought about quiz bowl,
    what jumped into my head
[20:36] Shiki
    was that it was a place where all kinds
    of pointless trivia came in handy.
[20:41] Shiki
    When I was able to predict the rest
    of a question or buzz in first,
[20:46] Shiki
    I really did feel happy. But more so...
[20:48] Mari
    Koshiyama-kun!
[20:54] Shiki
    Mikuriya-kun?
[20:55] Mari
    I guess he lives in this direction, too.
[21:00] Mari
    You think he's in a bad mood?
[21:04] Shiki
    It must be because I put a
    damper on his big competition.
[21:08] Mari
    Did you decide about joining our circle?
[21:11] Mari
    After today, I realized that
    I'm no good at this stuff at all.
[21:15] Mari
    But I'll work hard. If I'm
    going to play, I want to win.
[21:19] Mari
    I want to make our circle really strong!
[21:22] Mari
    And I think I need your help to do that.
[21:28] Mari
    I want to do quiz bowl
    with you, Koshiyama-kun.
[21:35] Mari
    Well, I'm catching the bus now.
[21:36] Mari
    See you at school. Bye-bye!
[21:38] Shiki
    Bye... bye...

    I'm telling you...
[21:58] Mikuriya
    to do quiz bowl!
[22:02] Mikuriya
    Do it!
[22:10] Shiki
    Seriously, why do all these people...
[22:13] Shiki
    All these things I never had before,
[22:15] Shiki
    things I never knew...
[22:19] Shiki
    things like fun, happiness, frustration...
[22:23] Shiki
    and being able to share
    those things with others.
