[00:13] (Flashback) Naru
    Kanata!
[00:33] (Flashback) Kanata
    Narumi-chan...
[00:47] Kana
    H-Haruka-chan?
[00:51] Haru
    Kanata-chan... seconds, please.
SIGN    Believe in Me
[01:13] Kana
    5.32 seconds. That's a great record.
[01:16] Kana
    You just keep getting better.
[01:17] Haru
    All right! I wonder if
    I can go under 5 seconds.
[01:21] Haru
    Say, Kanata-chan, this is actually
    practice for beach volleyball, right?
[01:26] Kana
    It is.
[01:27] Haru
    Then why aren't we using the ball?
[01:30] Haru
    We only have a week left before the
    rematch with Narumi-san and Ayasa-san.
[01:33] Kana
    But you need to get used to the sand first.
[01:37] Kana
    Your feet kept getting
    caught in it yesterday, right?
[01:40] Haru
    Oh...
[01:43] Haru
    Yeah.
[01:44] Kana
    Besides, dashing and diving are
    both basic moves in beach volleyball.
[01:48] Haru
    You're amazing, Kanata-chan!
[01:50] Haru
    You're like a real coach!
[01:53] Kana
    Okay, let's continue.
[01:54] Haru
    I'm counting on you, Demon Coach!
[01:56] Kana
    I think we can drop the "demon" part.
[01:58] Haru
    Bring it on!
[02:00] Haru
    But every time I move,
     this hits me, and it hurts.
[02:04] Haru
    Maybe I should get an actual
    uniform for playing in matches.
[02:07] Kana
    There's no uniform.
[02:09] Haru
    Huh?
[02:10] haru
    Then what does everyone else do?
[02:12] Kana
    They just wear normal swimsuits.
[02:13] Kana
    They shore up any parts that might slip,
[02:15] ---
    and make the bottoms fit
    tighter so sand doesn't get in.
[02:18] Haru
    Come to think of it, Narumi-san's
    bottoms were pretty cheeky.
[02:21] Kana
    I think she's just using what works.
[02:27] Haru
    Okay, I've got to do this!
[02:29] Kana
    Do this? Haruka-chan, you don't mean...
[02:32] Haru
    Er, Kanata-chan...
    What are you imagining?
[02:39] Haru
    Well, what do you think, Kanata-chan?
[02:42] Kana
    What do I think? I think your
    butt is absolutely adorable.
[02:46] Haru
    That's not what I meant!
[02:48] Kana
    U-Um, it's sexy?!
[02:50] Haru
    No! Just alter my bottoms!
[02:52] Kana
    O-Oh, right.
[02:53] ---
    This was the first time I've ever looked
    at someone's butt so closely, so...
[02:57] Kana
    How's this?
[02:59] Haru
    Good. Could you do the top, too?
[03:02] Kana
    How's this? Like right here?
[03:04] Haru
    Could you pull it in a bit more?
[03:07] Haru
    Yeah, right around there.
[03:10] Kana
    There.
[03:14] Kana
    Why'd you take that off?
[03:15] Haru
    Well, we can't sew it
    if I don't take it off.
[03:18] Kana
    Y-Yeah, but... Please, put something on.
[03:23] Kana
    Are you sure it's okay for me to cut this?
[03:25] Haru
    Yeah, sure.
[03:31] Haru
    Maybe I went a bit overboard.
[03:33] Haru
    But... I'm all set!
[03:42] Haru
    I got it!
[04:14] Kana
    Okay, why don't we start practicing
     with the actual ball today?
[04:18] Haru
    What did you say just now?
[04:20] Kana
    Practicing with the actual ball...
[04:22] Haru
    Yay!
[04:24] Haru
    Thanks, Demon Coach!
[04:26] Kana
    Please stop calling me a demon.
[04:29] Kana
    We only have three days
    until the match, right?
[04:31] Haru
    So let's just have you practice
    receiving and spiking.
[04:37] ---
    Why?
[04:38] Kana
    People always try to go after the
    weaker player in beach volleyball.
[04:42] Haru
    Oh, right. I guess the one they'd
    go after is me, the beginner.
[04:46] Kana
    Y-Yeah.
[04:48] kana
    The other server will aim
    for you, no matter what.
[04:52] Kana
    Receive, set, spike.
[04:55] Kana
    Basically, the person who received
    the ball will be the one spiking it.
[04:59] Haru
    I see. So that's why I'll
    just be practicing those.
[05:02] Kana
    Okay, let's start with receiving.
[05:06] Kana
    This is how you put your hands together.
[05:11] Kana
    Here it comes.
[05:30] Kana
    Next, we'll cover spikes.
[05:32] Kana
    There's one thing I want you to remember.
[05:35] ---
    You're not supposed to be able
    to actually get the spikes.
[05:38] Haru
    What's the point of this sport, then?
[05:41] Kana
    Well, look how big the court is.
[05:44] Kana
    The most important thing is to try to
    catch your opponents off guard.
[05:48] Kana
    So you don't need a super
    special spike or anything.
[05:51] Haru
    So it's basically a battle of wits.
[05:53] Kana
    To put it simply, yes.
[05:56] Kana
    So for this match, there's just
    one thing I'd like you to master
[05:59] ---
    for us to have any chance of winning.
[06:02] Kana
    The cut shot!
[06:03] Haru
    "Cut shot"...
[06:05] Haru
    That sounds so cool!
[06:08] Kana
    When you think of spikes, you probably think
    of them going straight forward, right?
[06:12] Kana
    When you make them go diagonally,
    it's called a cut shot.
[06:17] Kana
    I'm pretty sure they're not expecting
    a beginner to suddenly do cut shots,
[06:20] Kana
    so they'll let their guard down.
[06:23] Kana
    This is obvious, but it's harder
    to hit than a straight spike,
[06:26] Kana
    and it's a surprise attack,
    so we'll only have one chance.
[06:29] Haru
    Let's do it! If we're going
    to do this, I want to win!
[06:32] Haru
    Teach me how to do it!
[06:33] Kana
    Okay.
[06:34] Haru
    Cut shot!
[06:38] Kana
    What are you doing?
[06:39] Haru
    The cut shot pose!
[06:44] Kana
    Okay, let's start.
[06:46] Haru
    Are you okay with just setting?
[06:49] Kana
    Y-Yeah...
[06:55] Haru
    Grandpa's late again.
[06:57] Grams
    He's out night fishing tonight.
[07:00] Haru
    Thanks for the meal! It was so good.
[07:03] Haru
    I think I might be overeating
     since I got here.
[07:06] Grams
    It's good for you to eat lots.
[07:09] Haru
    I know, right?
[07:10] Grams
    Work lots and eat lots.
[07:13] Haru
    Yeah! I moved around a lot today,
[07:15] ---
    and thanks to Kanata-chan,
    I'm definitely improving!
[07:19] Grams
    That's very exciting.
[07:21] Haru
    I got so much better at receiving!
[07:24] ---
    I couldn't receive at all at first,
    but now I'm getting the hang of it!
[07:27] Grams
    Good for you.
[07:33] Haru
    Cut shot!
[07:35] Haru
    Cut shot!
[07:44] Haru
    Are you okay with just setting?
[07:47] Kana
    I'm running away again.
[08:00] (Flashback) Naru
    Kanata!
[08:09] (Flashback) Naru
    Don't worry about it, Kanata.
[08:26] (Flashback) Naru
    Kanata!
[08:47] (Flashback) Kana
    Narumi-chan...
[08:53] Kana
    This isn't right. But...
[09:09] Grams
    You're up early.
[09:11] Haru
    I'm going for a run.
[09:12] Haru
    I can't keep still knowing
    that our match is today.
[09:17] Haru
    I'll be back soon.
[09:18] Grams
    Be careful.
[09:34] Ayasa
    Morning.
[09:39] Haru
    Ayasa-san?
[09:44] Aya
    Well, were you able to practice?
[09:47] Haru
    Yup! Kanata-chan trained me hard!
[09:52] Aya
    I see...
[09:53] Aya
    Higa-san actually did that, huh?
[09:56] Aya
    Then let me give you a word of advice, too.
[10:00] Aya
    If you're thinking about seriously
    playing beach volleyball,
[10:02] ---
    you probably shouldn't pair up with Higa-san.
[10:07] Haru
    What do you mean by that?
[10:09] Aya
    Higa-san is basically like Narumi's ex.
[10:13] Haru
    H-Her ex?
[10:14] Aya
    Meaning they used to be partners.
     You didn't know?
[10:19] Haru
    So I was right...
[10:21] Aya
    Everyone will always go after the
    weaker opponent in beach volleyball.
[10:24] Aya
    Being tall is a must.
[10:26] Aya
    With her height, Higa-san will always
    be the one the opponents go after.
[10:31] Aya
    Higa-san ran away from the ball.
[10:34] Aya
    Narumi tried to cover for her...
[10:37] Aya
    And Narumi became the ace.
[10:41] (Flashback) Naru
    You play beach volleyball with two people.
[10:44] (Flashback) Naru
    The word "ace" doesn't
    exist in beach volleyball.
[10:50] Aya
    Higa-san's just not cut out for this game.
[10:53] Aya
    You might end up going through
    the same thing as Narumi someday.
[10:56] Aya
    So...
[10:58] Haru
    Thanks for the advice.
[11:01] Haru
    But even then, I want to
    play with Kanata-chan.
[11:09] Haru
    I mean, it seems like she
    really loves beach volleyball.
[11:15] Haru
    And I had a lot of fun practicing
    with her this past week.
[11:21] Haru
    So I want to believe in Kanata-chan.
[11:31] Aya
    You're pretty cool, Haruka.
[11:34] Haru
    Nah, I'm not that impressive.
[11:36] Aya
    I mean, this works out better for me.
[11:41] Haru
    What do you mean?
[11:42] Aya
    Well, if Higa-san were to come back,
[11:45] ---
    Narumi might want to go back to her.
[11:49] Aya
    But I'm not letting Higa-san get Narumi back.
[11:52] Haru
    It really does sound like
    you're talking about dating.
[11:55] Aya
    Oh, and about Narumi...
[11:58] ---
    I'm sorry that she sounds a bit harsh.
[12:01] Aya
    She's really shy.
[12:03] Haru
    Yeah, I figured.
[12:05] Aya
    Here's my number.
[12:07] Aya
    Call me if you ever need anything.
[12:11] Haru
    Thanks!
[12:39] Haru
    Kanata-chan, that looks really good on you!
[12:42] Kana
    Huh?
[12:43] Kana
    You think so?
[12:44] Aya
    Heya!
[12:45] Haru
    Wha?!
[12:46] Aya
    You've got a nice butt, Haruka.
[12:49] Aya
    A butt like that must make
     you popular with all the guys.
[12:51] Haru
    Please don't. That's the thing
    I'm most self-conscious about...
[12:55] Naru
    That swimsuit...
[13:02] Aya
    The rules are the same as before.
[13:04] ---
    If you two can score even
    one point on us, you win.
[13:07] Haru
    Hey, how about the losers
    buy everyone ice cream?
[13:10] Aya
    Sounds good to me.
    I want coconut, by the way.
[13:13] Aya
    What about you, Narumi?
[13:14] Naru
    Shequasar.
[13:15] Haru
    You've already decided that we're gonna lose?
[13:17] Haru
    You'll get hurt if you underestimate us!
[13:19] Aya
    Well, let's get started.
[13:29] Haru
    She jumped?
[13:33] Haru
    Whoa, that was intense!
[13:34] Kana
    Don't worry about it, Haruka-chan.
[13:40] Haru
    She really is going after me.
[13:44] Haru
    All right!
[13:50] Haru
    Ow!
[13:52] Haru
    I'm sorry, Kanata-chan.
[13:53] Kana
    It's okay. You're doing great.
[13:56] Haru
    I'll definitely get the next one.
[14:00] Haru
    Keep my hips low...
[14:01] Haru
    And my arms straight.
[14:04] Haru
    Yeah!
[14:14] Aya
    Nice block.
[14:16] Haru
    Sorry about that...
[14:17] Kana
    It's okay. You're getting better.
[14:19] Haru
    Hey, Kanata-chan.
     Should I try the cut shot next?
[14:23] Kana
    Let's wait until you get a little
    more used to jump serves.
[14:26] Kana
    Let's wait about two more times.
[14:28] Haru
    Okay.
[14:35] Kana
    Haruka-chan!
[14:36] Haru
    Got it!
[14:44] Haru
    I'm not done yet.
[14:46] Kana
    Yeah, don't worry about it.
[14:54] Naru
    Ayasa...
[14:58] Haru
    I'm gonna do it...
[15:00] Haru
    on this next one.
[15:12] haru
    Here's our chance.
[15:15] Kana
    Haruka-chan!
[15:16] Haru
    Try to aim for the inside the net...
[15:19] Haru
    And hit diagonally!
[15:22] Aya
    A cut?!
[15:29] Haru
    No way! She actually got it!
[15:31] ---
    Ayasa!
[15:33] Aya
    I know!
[15:40] Haru
    That was so close!
[15:42] Kana
    No.
[15:43] Kana
    She completely saw through our plan.
[15:45] Haru
    Huh?
[15:48] Aya
    It was just like you said, Narumi.
[15:50] Naru
    They didn't seem bothered at all,
[15:54] Naru
    so I figured they were planning something.
[15:57] Aya
    But the fact that she was able to do a
    cut shot after just a week is impressive.
[16:01] Kana
    As I thought, it didn't
    work against Narumi-chan.
[16:06] Haru
    What should we do? We have to do something.
[16:13] Haru
    Kanata-chan, you said that the way to win
[16:16] ---
    was to catch your opponents off guard, right?
[16:19] Kana
    Yeah.
[16:27] Haru
    Kanata-chan, would you receive?
[16:29] Kana
    Huh? But...
[16:32] Haru
    It'll be okay. Believe in me.
[16:35] Kana
    I'll believe in you, too, Kanata-chan.
[17:01] Kana
    Receive... I...
[17:07] Kana
    Huh?!
[17:09] ---
    She dodged it?
[17:12] Kana
    Now we're at match point...
[17:15] Haru
    I told you... I believe in you.
[17:19] Kana
    Haruka-chan...
[17:35] Kana
    It's no use...
[17:37] Kana
    I just...
[17:40] Kana
    can't!
[17:46] Haruka
    Kanata-chan...
[18:08] Kana
    Haven't I been waiting all this time...
[18:14] Kana
    for this day to come?
[18:23] Kana
    Haruka-chan...
[18:24] ---
    believes in me.
[18:37] Kana
    And because of that...
[18:41] Kana
    I'm done running away!
[18:48] Kana
    Move...
[18:51] Kana
    Move...
[18:56] Kana
    Move!
[19:00] Haru
    All right!
[19:01] Kana
    Haruka-chan!
[19:01] Naru
    Kanata... received?
[19:04] Aya
    Narumi!
[19:06] Aya
    Narumi!
[19:33] Aya
    A dump?!
[19:44] Haru
    It's in.
[19:46] Haru
    We got one in, Kanata-chan!
[19:48] Kana
    Haruka-chan...
[19:50] Aya
    I definitely wasn't expecting a
    dump right after a cut shot...
[19:54] Haru
    We won! We did it! We really did it!
[19:57] Haru
    We did it! We won together, Kanata-chan!
[19:58] naru
    No way...
[19:59] naru
    Kanata received...
[20:00] Haru
    Yay!
[20:08] aya
    Narumi?
[20:09] Aya
    Narumi, wait!
[20:11] Aya
    Sorry, we'll have to take a
    rain check on the ice cream.
[20:27] Aya
    Narumi...
[20:28] Naru
    I can't even remember... the last
    time I saw Kanata smile like that.
[20:33] Naru
    Does that mean that whole time...
[20:34] ---
    I was just making Kanata suffer?
[20:39] Aya
    That's not true. That's not true at all.

[20:49] Haru
    Shequasar's so good!
[20:51] Kana
    Haruka-chan...
[20:52] Haru
    Hm?
[20:53] Kana
    Thanks for doing that dump shot for me.
[20:56] Haru
    Huh? Well, I mean... I didn't
    practice setting at all.
[21:00] Kana
    Oh, yeah.
[21:03] Haru
    But I didn't know what we were going
    to do when they read our cut shot.
[21:08] Haru
    Narumi-san totally saw right through us.
[21:10] Haru
    Yeah.
[21:15] Kana
    Hey, Haruka-chan...
[21:17] Kana
    I used to play with Narumi-chan.
[21:21] Haru
    Yeah, I know.
[21:22] Haru
    You guys were partners, right?
[21:24] Kana
    Yeah...
[21:25] Haru
    Ayasa-san told me.
[21:28] Haru
    But I'd like to hear your side, too.
[21:34] Kana
    I... ran away.
[21:37] Kana
    Because I didn't grow at all and
    became a burden to Narumi-chan.
[21:44] Kana
    But I thought that was for the best.
[21:47] Kana
    Because of that, Narumi-chan
    paired up with Tachibana-san,
[21:50] ---
    and now they're champions.
[21:52] Kana
    That's what I kept telling myself.
[21:54] Kana
    But really...
[22:00] Haru
    Hey.
[22:01] Haru
    The reason I asked you
    to receive the ball is...
[22:07] Haru
    At first, I thought Narumi-san's serves
[22:09] ---
    were all aimed at me
    because I'm the beginner.
[22:12] Haru
    But then I realized that wasn't it.
[22:17] Haru
    Narumi-san's serves weren't aimed at me.
[22:20] Haru
    They were just avoiding you.
[22:23] Kana
    Yeah...
[22:24] Haru
    I figured that was our chance to win.
[22:31] Naru
    Was I wrong?
[22:34] Aya
    That's not true.
[22:37] Naru
    In the end, Kanata didn't
    run away from that receive.
[22:42] Naru
    That girl made Kanata move.
[22:45] Aya
    Yeah.
[22:46] Naru
    I couldn't do that.
[22:50] Aya
    It's not that.
[22:51] ---
    It's just that Haruka was a
    little more clever, that's all.
[22:56] Aya
    Your kindness wasn't wrong.
[22:59] Aya
    So please don't cry, Narumi.
[23:04] Haru
    But I'm so glad we won.
[23:06] Kana
    Yeah. I was happy to actually be able
    to play in a match after so long.
[23:09] Kana
    Thanks, Haruka-chan.
[23:11] Haru
    No, thank you.
[23:13] ---
    Now I want to play beach volleyball for real.
[23:17] Kana
    Huh?
[23:17] Haru
    Keep drilling me, Demon Coach.
[23:19] Kana
    Sure, but... only if you
    stop calling me a demon.
