**[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.
