    Hey!

    What are you doing to my Kanata-chan?

    Don't attempt to resist,

    No, no, no, no, no! Not English!

    Don't worry. Japanese is fine.
[00:51] Emily
    That idiot.
[00:53] Kanata
    Haruka-chan, you've got the wrong idea.

    Marissa... Oh, their mom was my coach,
    so we all used to play together.
[02:53] Haruka
    Oh...
[02:55] Emily
    Hello, I'm Emily Thomas.
[02:58] Emily
    And this one is...
[03:00] Claire
    "This one"? Really?
[03:01] Emily
    ...my older twin sister, Claire Thomas.
[03:03] Emily
    We're second-years, just like you.
[03:04] Claire
    You can call me Claire, Haruka.
[03:06] Haruka
    Emily and Claire...
[03:09] Haruka
    Éclair?
[03:12] Haruka
    That sounds delicious!
[03:14] Claire
    I saw you guys play against
     Narumi and Ayasa the other day.
[03:18] Haruka
    Oh, you were watching?
[03:20] Claire
    Hey, let's all play together again.
[03:25] Emily
    Come on, Claire.
[03:27] Claire
    If you two would actually join, we'd be
    one step closer to being an official club.
[03:31] Emily
    That's enough...
[03:32] Haruka
    Yeah! We'll totally join! Right, Kanata-chan?
[03:36] Kanata
    S-Sure...
[03:39] Claire
    All right! Let's jump right into practice.
[03:42] Emily
    No.
[03:43] Claire
    Aw, why?
[03:44] Emily
    I can't wear a swimsuit
    like that! Are you stupid?
[03:47] Claire
    Wha—
[03:50] Claire
    What's wrong with this swimsuit?!
[03:53] Emily
    We might as well wear underwear
    if we're going to be wearing that!
[03:55] Claire
    Then go ahead and play in underwear.
[03:58] Emily
    Shut up, you idiot!
[03:59] Claire
    Too bad that the person who calls someone
    stupid is actually the stupid one, stupid.
[04:02] Emily
    Hey, stop that!
[04:03] Claire
    Take it all off!
[04:05] Haruka
    Um...
[04:06] Both
    What?!
[04:08] Haruka
    Why don't you both just wear different ones?
[04:12] Emily
    W-Well, in beach volleyball—
[04:15] Claire
    You're wide open!

[04:23] Emily
    In beach volleyball, pairs have
    to wear the same swimsuit,
[04:27] Emily
    no matter how stupid your partner may be.
[04:30] Claire
    Who are you calling stupid?
[04:32] Claire
    Is that any way to talk to your big sister?
[04:34] Claire
    Ow...
[04:35] Emily
    Anyway...
[04:37] Emily
    Let's go, Kanata, Haruka.
[04:41] Kanata
    Okay.
[04:41] Claire
    Hey, where are you going?
[04:43] Emily
    We're going to practice, right?
[04:51] Emily
    As for our practice regimen today...
[04:53] Haruka
    Me!
[04:53] Claire
    Me!
[04:55] Both
    Me, me, me!
[04:57] Emily
    What?
[04:58] Claire
    I want to play a match!
[04:59] Haruka
    Same!
[05:01] Emily
    Right off the bat?
[05:02] Emily
    What do you think?
[05:04] Kanata
    I think that's fine.
[05:05] Emily
    Well, if you say so...
[05:07] Both
    Yay!
[05:09] Emily
    Let's just start off with one set.

    I'm gonna serve!

    Okay!

    Hey, are you even listening to me?

    Here I go!

    She's faster than Narumi-san.

[05:45] Emily
    Like hell I do!
[05:47] Claire
    Whee!
[05:48] Claire
    Wh-Wh-Whee!
[05:50] Haruka
    She's way too hyper.
[05:51] Kanata
    Don't worry about it.
[05:55] Emily
    Y-You'll regret it if you do that again!
[05:57] Claire
    Oh, calm down.

    I'll go ahead and get us another... point!

[06:25] Claire
    Got it!

[06:38] Claire
    All right!

    Your spikes are intense, Claire.
[06:43] Claire
    Did you witness my power?!
[06:47] Haruka
    Hey, Kanata-chan...
[06:48] Emily
    Your receives are sloppy!
[06:49] ---
    Didn't Emily just do an overhanded set?
[06:50] Claire
    Who cares? You were still able to set it.
[06:52] Kanata
    Emily's a good setter,
    so she doesn't get faults.
[06:52] Emily
    Honestly, I wish I had
    a more careful partner.
[06:56] Claire
    This is why your juniors think you're scary.
[06:56] Kanata
    If you don't do them right,
[06:58] ---
    you could get faulted for
    holding or double contact.
[06:59] Emily
    Wha—That has nothing to
    do with anything right now!
[07:02] Claire
    Here we go!
[07:11] Claire
    Emily, line!
[07:12] Haruka
    She's going to hit straight again...
    This time I'll stop it for sure!
[07:22] Haruka

SIGN    Éclair
[07:37] Haruka
    I'm so sorry, Kanata-chan!
[07:39] Kana
    I'm fine.
[07:41] Haruka
    By the way, what was that thing you just did?
[07:43] Haruka
    You hit the ball with your hand like this.
[07:45] Emily
    It's called a pokey.
[07:46] Emily
    You change how fast you spike and
    look for an opening from your opponent.
[07:55] Claire
    By the way, I'm so amazing
    because of this swimsuit.
[07:58] Emily
    I swear to God that's not it!
[08:01] Claire
    But anyway, a point's still a point, right?
[08:05] Emily
    I guess that much is true.
[08:07] Kanata
    They've always been like that,
    but they're a great team.
[08:12] Haru
    Yeah.
[08:19] Haru
    Kanata-chan!
[08:20] Claire
    Not happening!
[08:22] Kana
    There!
[08:28] Haru
    Don't worry about it, Kanata-chan!
[08:30] Kana
    Yeah...
[08:39] Kana
    If straight spikes aren't going to work...
[08:50] Kana
    It's no use. My spikes just
    aren't getting through.
[08:53] Claire
    Emily!
[08:56] Haruka
    Another pokey!
[09:00] Claire
    Well, look at you.
[09:02] Claire
    Looks like you're actually willing to play,
     despite all that complaining.
[09:05] Emily
    Kanata, why aren't you using pokeys?
[09:11] Emily
    I was treating this as practice,
    but I've changed my mind.
[09:15] Emily
    Make sure you block all
    of Kanata's spikes. Got it?
[09:19] Claire
    Y-Yes, ma'am!
[09:21] Claire
    Now she's in a weird mood...
[09:25] Claire
    Sorry, Kanata.
[09:27] Claire
    I can't defy Emily when she's like this.

[09:37] Haru
    We're not done yet!
[09:39] Kana
    Yeah...
[09:41] Emily
    Just use it, damn it...
[10:10] (Flashback) Naru
    Kanata!
[10:14] (Flashback) Naru
    We did it!
[10:15] (Flashback) Kana
    Yeah!
[10:20] (Flashback) ---
    She made another spike.
[10:23] (Flashback) Girl
    They have a real power player!
[10:26] (Flashback) Girl 2
    Yeah! She's really strong!
[10:28] (Flashback) Girl
    They're going to the finals!
[10:36] Emily
    Please, tell me why.
[10:39] Kana
    If I can't make a spike,
    then I'm not playing like myself.
[10:43] Emily
    Do you really think that?
[10:45] Claire
    Come on, let's go.
[10:47] Emily
    Jeez!
[10:48] Claire
    You're overstepping your bounds a bit.
[10:50] Emily
    Y-Yeah...
[11:01] Claire
    One touch!
[11:04] Emily
    Claire!
[11:07] Haruka
    I won't let you!
[11:13] Haruka
    Ow!
[11:15] Claire
    Yours hurt, too, you know?
[11:18] Haruka
    Oh, they do?
[11:19] Claire
    Yeah. You've got plenty
    of power yourself, Haruka.
[11:22] Haruka
    I got a compliment!
[11:24] ---
    Though is that actually a
    compliment for a fair maiden?
[11:28] Kanata
    I'm no longer a power player.
[11:37] Kanata
    Because I'm too short.
[11:46] Kana
    But if I end up using pokeys...
[11:52] Kana
    I won't be playing like myself.
[12:05] Kana
    Haruka-chan?
[12:07] Haruka
    Come on, Kanata-chan! Set!
[12:09] Kana
    R-Right...
[12:19] Kanata
    No way...

    Seriously?!
[12:30] Haruka
    Yay!
SIGN    Harukana
SIGN    Éclair
[12:32] Claire
    So you're going to use the pokeys?
[12:34] Haru
    It doesn't matter, as long as it goes over.
[12:36] Haru
    I mean, a point's still a point, right?
[12:41] Kana
    A point's still a point...
[12:49] Kana
    That's right. Back then, I wasn't
    so obsessed with spiking
[12:54] ---
    because I was a power player...
[12:55] Claire
    Emily!
[13:11] Kana
    It's because...
[13:17] Kana
    I could score the most with spikes.
[13:35] Haruka
    Did it go in?
[13:39] Emily
    It was just barely out.
[13:41] Haruka
    What?!
[13:43] Kanata
    But...
[13:53] Kanata
    I was able to get over the block.
[13:57] Haruka
    Yeah!
[14:05] Claire
    Man, I haven't played that hard in ages!
[14:08] Haruka
    I guess it's pretty tiring when
    you play one match after another.
[14:12] Kana
    I guess this is the first time you've
    played this much, Haruka-chan.
[14:17] Haruka
    Yup! And I'm deeply moved!
[14:19] Claire
    So, anyway, you're going to join
    the beach volleyball branch, right?

[14:36] Claire
    That was fast!
[14:38] Haruka
    There's no point in playing a sport
    if you don't play any matches!
[14:40] Haruka
    Right, Kanata-chan?
     You're okay with that, right?

    Yeah, you're right.

    Indeed.
[15:04] Emily
    Say, Kanata...
[15:06] Emily
    Um...
[15:08] Emily
    I'm so sorry about earlier!
[15:09] Kanata
    Huh?
[15:11] Emily
    I was trying to push my
    own opinion onto you.
[15:15] Emily
    Just like Claire said, I was
     overstepping my bounds.
[15:19] Emily
    I'm really sorry.
[15:21] Kanata
    It's okay.
[15:23] Kanata
    That earnest part of you
    hasn't changed, Emily.
[15:27] Kana
    I was actually kind of relieved.
[15:30] Kana
    Earlier when Haruka-chan did
    that pokey, I remembered
[15:33] Kana
    that I wouldn't have even hesitated
    to do a pokey back then.
[15:38] Emily
    Yeah.
[15:40] Kana
    Hey, Emily. I want to regain my former self.
[15:46] Emily
    Regain, huh...
[15:49] Emily
    "Receive" comes from Latin.
[15:53] Emily
    "Re," which means "again,"
    and "cipere," which means "take."
[15:56] Emily
    It means "to regain."
[15:59] Kana
    Yeah.
[16:02] Emily
    Kanata, you've always been
    really good at receiving,
[16:05] Emily
    so you'll be just fine.
[16:07] Kana
    Thanks!

    Hey!
[16:10] Haruka
    Join us, Kanata-chan!
[16:14] Kana
    Okay.
[16:15] Claire
    You might as well come, too, Emily.
[16:17] Emily
    Why are you making me sound
     like an afterthought?
[16:23] Kana
    Neither of them has changed.
[16:27] Haru
    Really? When was the
     first time you met them?
[16:30] Kana
    When I was in grade school.
[16:32] Kana
    Narumi-chan and I fought those two in
    the finals of the junior tournament.
[16:39] (Flashback) Lady
    The winners are the Higa Kanata
     and Tooi Narumi pair.
[16:43] (Flashback) Kana
    We did it!
[16:44] (Flashback) Claire
    Hey.
[16:45] (Flashback) Claire
    Next time...
[16:47] (Flashback) Claire
    Next time, we're... definitely going to win!
[16:51] (Flashback) Kana
    Bring it on!
[16:58] Kana
    Because of that, the two of us also
    started practicing with Marissa.
[17:04] Haru
    What's this?
[17:07] Kana
    In grade school, I invited Narumi-chan
    to play beach volleyball with me.
[17:11] Haru
    Huh?
SIGN    Tooi Narumi
[17:14] Kana
    Narumi-chan transferred
    here in fourth grade.
[17:20] Kana
    When I first saw her,
[17:21] ---
    she was really tall, so I thought
    she looked so mature and cool.
[17:26] Kana
    I wanted to be her friend, but...
[17:30] Kana
    I was trying to think of
    a way to approach her,
[17:33] ---
    and then my mom suggested...
[17:36] (Flashback) Mom
    Why don't you two try
    playing beach volleyball?
[17:39] (Flashback) ---
    I think you'd both be perfect for it.
[17:41] (Flashback) Kana
    M-Me? No way! I can't wear a swimsuit.
[17:45] (Flashback) Mom
    Why?
[17:47] (Flashback) Mom
    Don't they look cool in swimsuits, though?
[17:49] (Flashback) Mom
    I mean, they say that an
    athlete's weapon is their body.
[17:56] (Flashback) Kana
    U-Um, Tooi-san...
[18:00] (Flashback) Kana
    Would you like to play
    beach volleyball with me?
[18:03] (Flashback) Kana
    What do you think?
[18:05] (Flashback) Naru
    Wh-Where did that come from?
[18:07] (Flashback) Naru
    Beach volleyball?
     I don't think I can play that.
[18:11] (Flashback) Kana
    B-But you're really tall,
    so with the two of us...
[18:19] (Flashback) Kana
    I guess I might be asking too much.
[18:23] (Flashback) Kana
    Sorry. Forget that I asked.
[18:28] (Flashback) Naru
    Wait!
[18:30] (Flashback) Naru
    I want to... give it a try.
[18:33] (Flashback) Naru
    With you, Higa-san.
[18:38] (Flashback) Kana
    This is how you put your hands together.
[18:42] (Flashback) Naru
    I did it!
[18:44] (Flashback) Kana
    Okay! Let's try one more time!
[18:58] (Flashback) Kana
    Hey, while we're at it, why don't
    we practice for a tournament?
[19:03] (Flashback) Naru
    A tournament?
[19:05] (Flashback) Kana
    Yeah!
[19:06] (Flashback) ---
    We just started playing, but if we
    practice really hard every day...
[19:12] (Flashback) Kana
    I guess every day might
    be a bit of a stretch.
[19:15] (Flashback) Naru
    No, that's not it...
[19:18] (Flashback) Naru
    Can I ask you something?
[19:20] (Flashback) Kana
    Sure.
[19:21] (Flashback) Naru
    Why did you pick me?
[19:24] (Flashback) Kana
    Because...
[19:25] (Flashback) Kana
    You're so cool, Narumi-chan.
[19:28] (Flashback) Naru
    Huh?
[19:30] (Flashback) Kana
    Not to mention, I wanted
    to be friends with you.
[19:35] (Flashback) Naru
    Thanks, K-Kanata!
[19:40] (Flashback) Kana
    Yeah! I hope we become even
    better friends, Narumi-chan!
[19:44] (Flashback) Naru
    Me, too.
[19:48] Kana
    From then on, we both
    practiced really hard and won.
[19:54] Kana
    Then I made a promise with Narumi-chan.
[20:00] (Flashback) Kana
    I can't believe it! We actually won!
[20:03] (Flashback) ---
    I guess we could even become
    national champions at this rate!
[20:06] (Flashback) Naru
    I think you might be reaching a bit.
[20:08] (Flashback) Kana
    That's not true! Let's do it together!
[20:12] (Flashback) Naru
    Well, if you say so,
     I guess I'll believe you.
[20:16] (Flashback) Kana
    Really? It's a promise, then!
[20:19] (Flashback) Naru
    Yeah.
[20:28] Kana
    As for what happened afterward,
    well, you already heard...
[20:30] ---
    But I ran away from both
    Narumi-chan and beach volleyball.
[20:37] Kana
    I ended up not keeping that promise.
[20:40] Kana
    I thought all this time that
    everyone around me was changing
[20:45] ---
    and I was being left behind.
[20:49] Kana
    But then I realized...
[20:51] Kana
    I was the one who changed.
