SIGN    #7 "I'll Mop the Floor With Her"
[00:25] sato
    The rallies are getting longer and longer.
[00:29] sato
    The score's fixed in place.
[00:32] sato
    She returns everything!
[00:34] sato
    Damn it!
[00:38] sato
    That girl...
[00:40] sato
    Is she...
[00:42] ump
    8-all.
[00:43] girl
    Don't sweat it, Satomi!
[00:45] girl
    It's still just a tie!
[00:47] sasa
    That Hanesaki girl...
[00:49] sasa
    She plays amazing defense, but her
    attacks are nothing special, huh?
[00:54] sasa
    But since I lost my first match,
    I guess I'm not one to judge.
[00:59] sasa
    Kaoruko-chan?
[01:01] kao
    Oh? Of course...
[01:11] sasa
    Too bad for Satomi-senpai, huh?
[01:15] sasa
    But good luck for you!
[01:18] sasa
    I mean, you creamed her when
    you played her at Kitakomachi!
[01:22] sasa
    You'll beat her, no sweat!
[01:25] kao
    I most certainly will.
[01:27] kao
    I'll mop the floor with her—
[01:36] aya
    Kaoruko-chan.
[01:39] kao
    Shall I ask how you're feeling?
[01:41] kao
    Though it will hardly make a
    difference one way or the other.
[01:46] aya
    I could have used a little more
    warm-up before I played you...
[01:52] kao
    I knew it. She extended
    the rallies on purpose.
[01:55] aya
    Well, see you later.
[01:59] kao
    Hanesaki-san.
[02:06] aya
    A handkerchief?
[02:09] kao
    You'll need it to wipe away your
    tears when you lose, right?
[02:13] kao
    Or maybe...
[02:15] kao
    ...you'll be wiping off snot?
[02:26] aya
    Oh, yeah, that sure was frustrating.
[02:30] aya
    But...
[02:33] aya
    I've been training to
    grind you into the dirt.
[02:37] aya
    Now I'm trembling with anticipation.
[04:19] sen
    You did your best.
[04:21] sen
    Don't cry, Satomi.
[04:24] sen
    Let's cool down, okay?
[04:26] sen
    I mean, I lost in the first round,
    so I probably don't need it myself.
[04:30] sen
    You face her next, right, Serigaya?
[04:33] sen
    Get us some revenge.
[04:34] kao
    I have no interest in revenge.
[04:38] sasa
    Kaoruko-chan!
[04:39] sen
    What does that mean?
[04:47] kao
    In badminton, might makes right.
[04:52] kao
    I play only for myself.
[04:57] sasa
    S-Senpai!
[04:58] sasa
    Kaoruko-chan's just a little nervous is all.
[05:00] sen
    Out of my way!
[05:01] sato
    Stop it!
[05:09] sen
    I guess you think you can beat her, then?
[05:13] kao
    I've already visualized the pattern
     that will lead to my victory.
[05:16] kao
    A loss is unthinkable.
[05:20] kao
    If you will excuse me, I need to warm up.
[05:32] hay
    Aw, Yu lost, too...
[05:37] hay
    Who's left now?
[05:39] gaku
    Aragaki, Sora, and Hanesaki.
[05:41] hay
    Boy, Hanesaki's darn good...
[05:44] gaku
    Yeah.
[05:45] hay
    Her mom won ten straight
    national tournaments, they say.
[05:48] hay
    No wonder she glided her
    way to the third round.
[05:52] hay
    I guess next week's matches are
    the last for us third-years.
[05:55] gaku
    Not if we win.
[06:04] hay
    Yeah, you're right.
[06:11] hay
    Isehara!
[06:15] hay
    Hey, are you gonna keep playing
     badminton in college?
[06:20] gaku
    No. Probably not.
[06:25] hay
    I see.
[06:46] hay
    Meat really does taste best after a workout!
[06:55] hay
    It was really close, you know? Cheer up.
[07:00] yu
    She was one grade below me. A first-year.
[07:03] hay
    She was really good.
[07:04] hay
    But you'll get another shot next year.
[07:06] yu
    I've been playing badminton since
    my fifth year of elementary school.
[07:12] yu
    But I still lost in the second round.
[07:15] yu
    I really must not have any talent.
[07:17] hay
    Don't be stupid!
[07:19] hay
    Whether you have talent or not...
[07:21] hay
    You just gotta do it!

    Might we chat in private somewhere?
[08:29] kao
    I-If it's not too bold of me to ask.
[08:31] tachi
    S-Sure... I don't mind.
[08:37] kao
    Thank you very much!
[08:38] tachi
    It's not a problem, of course,
[08:41] tachi
    but you shouldn't have talked
    to me right before your match.
[08:46] tachi
    You'll lose focus.
[08:51] kao
    You needn't worry about that.
[09:03] kao
    The moment I cross this line,
[09:05] kao
    I can't help but shift gears.
[09:12] aya
    I won't be playing around today,
    so be careful, Kaoruko-chan.

    Love-all. Play!
[09:40] kaoru
    First, I'll drop it just past the net.
[09:45] nagi
    It's short!
[09:46] kao
    And if you return my short
    serve with your backhand...
[09:52] kao
    You'll hit a straight hairpin from the racket face

[09:56] kao
    Bingo.

    Now, let's get started!

    She's fast!

    1-love.

    Th-That's impossible.

    Oh boy, she gave up
     first blood just like that.

    Worry not.

    A loss is unthinkable!

    Don't lose your cool, Kaoruko-chan!
[10:35] kaoru
    I thought I had accounted
    for Hanesaki-san's speed,

[10:41] kaoru
    she'll mop the floor with me.

    Standard attacks won't work on you.

    You're amazing, Hanesaki.

    Serigaya usually beats
    everyone, even the boys!
[11:29] sen
    Sheesh. Spare us a love game, at least.
[11:33] sen
    All that bragging didn't
    amount to much, did it?
[11:36] sen
    Even Satomi held out longer than this.
[11:40] sasa
    What's with that girl?
[11:43] sasa
    She's like a totally different person!
[11:46] ele
    Looking good, Ayano!
[11:49] riko
    That Serigaya girl can't keep up at all.
[11:52] tachi
    She's playing completely differently
    from her former all-defense style.
[11:58] kaoru
    Hanesaki-san attacks primarily
    after I try a kill shot.
[12:03] kaoru
    In other words, she uses counters.
[12:05] kaoru
    Then if I just avoid kill
    shots and hang in there...
[12:09] kaoru
    Hang in there.
[12:10] sasa
    Keep fighting, Kaoruko-chan!
[12:12] kao
    Outlast her. Eke out my first point.
[12:26] kao
    That's bait, too!
[12:30] yu
    The rally just keeps going, huh?
[12:33] hay
    I feel like the pace has slowed a bit...
[12:36] nagi
    She's gone on the defensive.
[12:39] nagi
    Hanesaki doesn't have a lot of power,
    so this might make it harder for her.
[12:46] kaoru
    Since I stopped taking her bait,
    she's started losing focus during rallies.
[12:57] kao
    Time to go on the offensive!
[12:58] kao
    This is the moment...
[13:01] kao
    ...when I seize the initiative!
[13:04] kao
    Yes!
[13:05] sasa
    Nice, Kaoruko-chan!
[13:19] kao
    I can do this!
[13:22] riko
    Serigaya-san thinks really
    hard while she plays.
[13:26] riko
    It's like she tries to get her
    opponent to fall into her pattern.
[13:31] tachi
    That's probably it.
[13:33] tachi
    Hanesaki and Serigaya are polar opposites.
[13:36] tachi
    I was more like Serigaya myself,
[13:39] tachi
    so I know the hard work she's put in.
[13:44] tachi
    Never underestimate the power of hard work.
[13:56] tachi
    Yes!

    11-5.

    Interval.
[14:14] sen
    So close!
[14:22] sasa
    Kaoruko-chan, you're just getting started!
[14:27] kao
    I admit it.
[14:30] kao
    You are very good.
[14:33] kao
    But...
[14:35] kao
    Not as good as you were then.
[14:40] coach
    You're looking good.
[14:42] coach
    Just keep hanging in there.
[14:44] kao
    Yes, sir.
[14:49] kao
    Her psychology is her weak point.
[14:52] kao
    If I wear her down as much as possible,
[14:54] kao
    slow her down in the
    second half, and then strike...
[14:58] kao
    It should, mentally, shatter her.
[15:04] tachi
    A battle of attrition
    is just what she wants.
[15:07] tachi
    You need to set the pace yourself.
[15:09] aya
    Okay!

    She's put up her defenses, but she's still
    cracking a little under that girl's pressure.

    Don't get worn out first, okay?

    Don't worry.

    Kaoruko-chan can handle it!

    She might put on airs when she talks,

    She's actually been working
    harder than anyone!

    as there's game left to play!
