    Ayano, come over here!
[00:03] ---
    Wait, Elena!
[00:06] ---
    Are you...
[00:07] ---
    Hurry up! You're doing this!
[00:11] ---
    Hello there!
[00:13] ---
    You're doing this!
[00:14] ---
    You're...
[00:15] ---
    Elena... Why?
[00:18] ---
    I really think you should
    be playing badminton.
[00:22] ---
    You have all the natural elements
    that can't be won through effort.
[00:25] ---
    You should definitely be playing badminton.
[00:27] ---
    Please stop.
[00:28] ---
    I'm not going to change my mind.
[00:31] ---
    I've had enough.
[00:32] ---
    What do you mean, you've had enough?!
[00:35] ---
    Mom left because I lost to Kaoruko-chan.
[00:40] ---
    I thought that if I got good enough,
     Mom would come back.
[00:43] ---
    I believed that, and...
[00:45] ---
    And I kept winning!

[00:56] ---
    So, what about you?
     Why'd you join your club?
[01:00] ---
    Lately, I've started thinking
    that it might be fun...
[01:04] ---
    And I think I might get
    to be part of a team.
[01:07] ---
    Was there a point to your
    little friendship act?
[01:11] ---
    Can you get what you want that way?
[01:18] ---
    Mom...
[01:20] ---
    Don't go...
[01:33] ele
    That Connie girl's smash really is trouble.

    17-11!
[01:37] tachi
    Well, that's part of it, but...
[01:41] tachi
    Ever since the interval, her responses
    to each shot have gotten slower...
[01:45] tachi
    What happened to you, Hanesaki?

[03:41] coach
    How? It's two against one!
[03:48] con
    Is this all you've got?
[03:52] con
    I thought so.
[03:54] con
    You're not really Uchika's daughter.
[04:03] aya
    She knows about Mom?
[04:06] riko
    Ayano-chan, we're in an interval.
[04:11] (Flashback) riko
    It's so silky!
[04:13] (Flashback) riko
    There! All done!
[04:14] (Flashback) riko
    Was there a point to your
    little friendship act?
[04:16] (Flashback) riko
    It's really nice, isn't it?
[04:18] (Flashback) riko
    It feels like we're part of the team.
[04:19] (Flashback) riko
    Big Sister.
[04:20] (Flashback) riko
    Hanesaki! Win this one, okay?
[04:21] (Flashback) riko
    You're not really Uchika's daughter.
[04:28] tachi
    That's the way.
[04:30] tachi
    Good motion. Just add a
    little more follow-through.
[04:34] aya
    I don't understand anything anymore...
[04:38] riko
    Ayano-chan. You're not alone.
[04:42] riko
    I might not be the best player,
[04:45] riko
    but sharing the burden during low points...
[04:48] riko
    is what partners are for, right?
[04:55] tachi
    Izumi. Hanesaki.
[04:58] tachi
    Starting next game,
    you'll stop defending together.
[05:07] girl
    Is she gonna play the second
    game by herself, too?
[05:10] girl
    What's going through that girl's head?
[05:12] girl
    I hope Hina's not too discouraged.
[05:20] hina
    Hey! Cut it out!
[05:26] hime
    Support Connie, okay?
[05:29] hina
    Support her?
[05:32] hina
    Please. She's winning
    effortlessly without me...
[05:37] hime
    She is for now.
[05:41] yu
    Huh?
[05:42] yu
    What's Riko-chan-senpai doing there?
[05:45] hay
    I've never seen that formation before.
[05:54] con
    In that's how you're going to
    play it, then I'll play along...
[05:57] con
    by crushing you!
[06:12] riko
    They're all to Ayano-chan.
[06:14] riko
    He's right. I need to let her handle it.
[06:24] tachi
    That's right, Izumi.
[06:25] tachi
    That's for the best.
[06:27] (Flashback) riko
    What do you mean, stop defending together?
[06:31] (Flashback) tachi
    Connie's most dangerous shot is a
    hard smash from a high vantage point.
[06:37] (Flashback) tachi
    To deal with it, I'm
    fixing you both in place.

    Hanesaki
[06:41] (Flashback) tachi
    Izumi, stick to the net and hit
    back shuttles that come in high.
[06:46] (Flashback) tachi
    Hanesaki, whose defense is strong,
    should cover the larger rear space.
[06:50] (Flashback) tachi
    Hanesaki, leave shots in the forecourt to
    Izumi and focus on returning the smashes.

[07:01] (Flashback) tachi
    Can you do it, Hanesaki?
[07:07] (Flashback) tachi
    Okay. Each of you, believe in your partner,
[07:10] (Flashback) tachi
    and cover the territory assigned you!
[07:13] (Flashback) riko
    Okay!
[07:18] tachi
    She returned it!
[07:19] con
    Dumb luck!
[07:26] con
    Damn you...
[07:28] con
    Drop it already!
[07:39] yu
    She returned it and scored.

    Ayano-chan!
[07:43] riko
    Nice placement!
[07:52] tachi
    Even better than expected...
[07:55] ele
    That's how she's always been.
[07:57] ele
    Ever since she was little,
[07:59] ele
    finding ways to return the shuttle
    was Ayano's favorite game.
[08:10] (Flashback) uchi
    Come on!
[08:12] (Flashback) uchi
    Over here!

    "Loving something is the key to
    getting good at it," as they say.
[08:36] tachi
    She was playing Shindo Uchika, after all.
[08:39] tachi
    It stands to reason.
[08:42] tachi
    Now's your chance! Go on the attack!
[08:48] riko
    It's coming!

[09:23] girl
    That girl, Hanesaki...
[09:25] girl
    Is she really a first-year?
[09:28] girl
    She keeps returning everything
    so their rally keeps going and going.
[09:32] girl
    It must be hard on her.
[09:33] girl
    She's the one who insisted on playing alone.
[09:36] girl
    There's no need to feel sorry for her.
[09:39] girl
    I... guess not...

    11-7! Interval!

    I told you I'd play it my way.
