[00:02] Teach
    Today begins the third trimester.
[00:03] Teach
    It's rare to get a transfer
    student around this time,
SIGN    Oozora Haruka
[00:06] ---
    but Oozora-san, please introduce yourself.
[00:08] Haru
    Yes, ma'am.
SIGN    Oozora Haruka
[00:10] Haru
    Nice to meet you all.
[00:11] ---
    I'm Oozora Haruka, and I've
    transferred from Tokyo.
[00:14] Haru
    There are a lot of things I still don't
    understand, so I hope you'll help me out.
SIGN    Oozora Haruka
[00:18] Haru
    With that,
[00:19] Haru
    I look forward to getting to know everyone!
[00:27] Haru
    Huh?
SIGN    Isn't This Perfect For Us?
[02:08] Haruka
    Kanata-chan—
[02:08] Girl
    Hey, Oozora-san.
[02:10] Haru
    Yes?
[02:11] Girl
    Have you been to Rycom yet?
[02:13] Haru
    Nope. I actually haven't been
    able to go out much yet.
[02:17] Girl 2
    No way! What a waste.
[02:19] Girl
    Hey, want us to take you after school?
[02:22] Haru
    Really? Then, Kanata...
[02:26] Haru
    Huh? Kanata-chan?
[02:34] Kana
    If I can learn to control the ball...
[02:38] Kana
    Pokeys can become weapons
[02:41] Kana
    that surpass spikes.
[02:45] Haru
    I wonder where she went.
[02:48] Haru
    Kanata-chan—
[03:00] Haru
    Kanata-chan looks so serious.
[03:04] Haru
    Right... We're going to
    be playing in a match soon.
[03:08] Claire
    Haruka...
[03:11] Claire
    What are you doing here?
[03:14] Haru
    I'm taking a break... or something?
[03:16] Claire
    Right here?
[03:21] Claire
    We have practice after school today.
[03:24] Claire
    Emily's going to be doing pokeys with Kanata.
[03:27] Claire
    So I'll coach you, Haruka.
[03:30] Haruka
    Then, Coach!
[03:33] Claire
    What?!
[03:36] Haruka
    How can Kanata-chan and
     I become a better pair?!
[03:39] Claire
    Huh?
[03:43] Haruka
    She calls you and Emily by your names,
[03:47] ---
    but she always calls me "Haruka-chan."
[03:49] Claire
    Really? That's it?
[03:49] Haru
    Yes, that! It's been weighing on me!
[03:53] Claire
    But you call her "Kanata-chan," too.
[03:57] Haruka
    I thought it'd be kinda hard to start
     using just her name all of a sudden.
[04:02] Haruka
    And what would it take for
    her to just use my name?!
[04:06] Haruka
    Maybe she doesn't trust me yet.
[04:09] Claire
    Trust, huh?
[04:12] Claire
    In our case, no matter
    how hopeless a match feels,
[04:17] Claire
    Emily stays so calm, it's awkward.
[04:19] Claire
    Somehow, just staring at her
    back calms me down, too.
[04:23] Haruka
    Oh, so the suspension bridge effect!
[04:26] Claire
    Yeah, that's not it at all.
[04:28] Haru
    Huh?
[04:29] Claire
    But anyway, why not face it head-on?
[04:34] Claire
    I'm sure the trust between you will grow,
     and you'll become an even closer pair.
[04:38] Haru
    Yeah...
[04:40] Claire
    Anyway, the first step is practicing.
[04:43] Claire
    I'll teach you the one thing you
    need more than anything right now.
[04:47] Claire
    I'll see you later.
[04:53] Girl
    Oozora-san!
[04:55] Girl
    Want to go to Rycom?
[04:57] Girl2
    We'll show you around.
[05:01] Haru
    Sorry, I actually have club today.
[05:04] Girl2
    You've already joined a club?
[05:06] Haru
    Yeah, I'm in the beach volleyball branch.
[05:09] Haru
    Thanks for inviting me, though!
[05:11] Girl
    Wait, beach volleyball?
    Do we have a club like that?
[05:15] Girl
    And what does she mean by "branch"?
[05:19] Haru
    Sorry I'm late! I got a little lost!
[05:22] Kana
    Huh? Haruka-chan,
     what about the girls from class?
[05:25] Haru
    I turned them down.
[05:27] Haru
    Oh, so you were listening, Kanata-chan.
[05:29] Haru
    You little weasel.
[05:32] Kana
    Th-That's not it!
[05:33] Haru
    I'm gonna go change.
[05:36] Claire
    You little weasel.
SIGN    Bonk Bonk
[05:40] Claire
    We're about to practice...
[05:43] Haru
    Blocking, right?
[05:44] Claire
    How the heck did you know?!
[05:46] Haru
    Well, I mean... It was pretty obvious.
[05:51] Claire
    Ahem... I see.
[05:53] Claire
    But before that...
[05:59] Claire
    So in this scenario,
[06:01] ---
    how would you split up the areas
    that you and Kanata cover?
SIGN    Set
SIGN    Spike
SIGN    Kanata
SIGN    Haruka
SIGN    Set
SIGN    Kanata
SIGN    Haruka
SIGN    Spike
[06:07] Haru
    Like that?
[06:08] Claire
    Close. This is the correct answer.
[06:12] Claire
    Because the ball is going
     to be coming from here.
SIGN    Spike
SIGN    Haruka
[06:17] Haruka
    I see.
SIGN    Set
SIGN    Kanata
SIGN    Haruka
SIGN    Spike
[06:18] Haruka
    So this line represents
    the middle of the attack.
[06:21] Claire
    Yup.
[06:22] Claire
    So what I'm trying to say is...
[06:24] Claire
    Here.
SIGN    Set
SIGN    Kanata
SIGN    Haruka
SIGN    Spike
[06:25] Claire
    The only way you're going to be able
    to protect this area is to block.
[06:30] Claire
    Remember the last match we had.
[06:33] Haruka
    Come to think of it,
    Kanata-chan saved the ball behind me.
[06:38] Claire
    Yup.
[06:39] Claire
    Right now, your area looks like this.
[06:42] Claire
    Which means that Kanata isn't
    counting on you to block.
[06:48] Haruka
    So she doesn't trust me.
[06:50] Haruka
    And that's why she doesn't
    just call me "Haruka."
[06:53] Claire
    That might be it.
[06:55] Claire
    All right, if you understand all that,
     it should be plenty.
[06:59] Haruka
    Yeah. I guess all that's left is to practice.
[07:02] Claire
    I knew I saw potential in you.
[07:04] Claire
    Just so you know, I'm pretty hardcore.
[07:07] Haruka
    Got it, Super Demon Coach!
[07:09] Claire
    What the heck?
[07:14] Claire
    Don't worry so much about your hands,
[07:15] ---
    and try to concentrate on
    jumping as high as you can.
[07:19] Claire
    Blockers jump at least fifty times per match.
[07:24] Haruka
    I have to catch up to Kanata-chan!
[07:36] Claire
    Hey, Haruka...
[07:37] Haru
    What?
[07:38] Claire
    Er, well... Aren't you
    a bit loose down there?
[07:42] Haru
    Down there?
[07:45] Haru
    Should I lower my hips more?
[07:48] Claire
    No... That's not what I meant...
[07:51] Haru
    What do you mean, then?
[07:52] Claire
    How do I put this...
[07:55] Claire
    I keep seeing flashes of what's
    underneath your swimsuit.
[07:59] Haru
    S-S-S-S-S-Seriously?
[08:01] Claire
    I think so.
[08:04] Haru
    B-B-But I'm wearing a bottom!
[08:07] Claire
    Relax! There's not much you can do because
     you're jumping around more than you'd expect.
[08:10] Claire
    Just so you know...
[08:12] Claire
    This is a difficult problem
    that plagues us all.
[08:14] Claire
    Even Emily sometimes has slippage—
[08:17] Emily
    You don't need to mention that!
[08:21] Haru
    Kanata-chan!
[08:23] Haru
    Come with me!
[08:30] Haru
    The new and improved
    Oozora and Higa pair have returned!
[08:34] Claire
    That was faster than I expected.
[08:36] Haru
    Well, Kanata-chan's actually—
[08:40] Kana
    Haruka-chan!
[08:46] Claire
    And so... to prepare for
    our upcoming tournament,
[08:49] Claire
    let's buy some new swimsuits!
[08:52] Haru
    It feels a bit weird to
    wear matching swimsuits.
[08:57] Claire
    Well, there aren't any uniforms,
    so it's not that weird.
[09:00] Emily
    Depending on how you look at it,
[09:02] ---
    it could be considered a
    highly fashionable uniform.
[09:05] Kana
    Is everyone ready?
[09:07] Haru
    Yup!
[09:08] Emily
    Ready.
[09:08] Claire
    Okay!
[09:10] Haruka
    Ready, and...
[09:15] Emily
    Hey!
[09:15] Claire
    Ow!
[09:16] Emily
    You just had to try something
    like this again.
[09:18] ---
    You have no intention of buying that.
[09:20] Claire
    Well, trying them on is free.
[09:23] Haru
    Yours is pretty simple, Kanata-chan.
[09:25] Kana
    Yeah. It's easier to move
    around in something like this.
[09:26] Emily
    Stop being stupid, and get changed!
[09:28] Emily
    Come on.
[09:29] Kana
    Your swimsuit is cute, Haruka-chan.
[09:33] Haru
    I know, right?
[09:34] Haru
    Whenever I jump, the frills bounce a little.
[09:39] Kana
    Yeah, but you probably shouldn't
    wear one with frills.
[09:43] Haru
    Aw...
[09:45] Emily
    Depending on the type of match,
    you might have to wear a numbered top,
[09:49] Emily
    so if your top has frills,
    they can get bunched up underneath it.
[09:52] Haru
    I see. I guess it's not that
    easy to pick out a swimsuit.
[09:55] Claire
    And that's why...
[09:57] Claire
    These are the best.
SIGN    World-Famous
    Tokara Soba
SIGN    Okinawa
    Steak
[10:04] Haru
    I guess they're not that easy to find.
[10:07] Claire
    Well, it's not exactly
    swimsuit season right now,
[10:09] Claire
    and you two are completely different sizes.
[10:14] Emily
    What about the one from the first shop?
[10:17] Kana
    I agree that it was cute,
[10:20] Kana
    but I'm not comfortable with
    having this part open so much.
[10:23] Claire
    You're young, so flaunt
    'em while you got 'em!
[10:26] Emily
    Are you an old lady?
[10:28] Kana
    Did you like that one, Haruka-chan?
[10:31] Haru
    Huh?
[10:33] Kana
    If you insist on that one...
[10:36] Kana
    I guess... I wouldn't mind wearing that one.
[10:42] Haru
    Really?!
[10:43] Kana
    Yeah...
[10:48] Claire
    Don't worry, I heard.
[10:50] Claire
    Why don't we split up, then,
    since we picked ours out, too?
[10:53] Emily
    Yes. That'll make things go quicker.
[11:00] Haru
    We should hurry, before Kanata-chan
     changes her mind!
[11:03] Kana
    Hey, wait!
[11:04] Haru
    Pardon me, could we get the
    swimsuits we tried on earlier...
[11:11] Kana
    You were going way too fast, Haruka-chan.
[11:14] Kana
    Haruka-chan?
[11:17] Haru
    Kanata-chan's swimsuit!
[11:19] Mai
    Huh?
[11:21] Haru
    Please! Get any swimsuit but that one!
[11:24] Mai
    Wait, what the heck?!
[11:26] Ai
    What's wrong, Mai?
[11:28] Ai
    What's all this fuss about?
[11:31] Haru
    Oh, no! You've got my swimsuit, too!
[11:33] Haru
    Please, have some mercy!
[11:35] Ari
    You mean these swimsuits?
[11:37] Mai
    Ai-senpai, please save me.
[11:40] Ai
    I'm sorry, but we need matching swimsuits.
[11:46] Haru
    Huh? Do you guys play beach volleyball?
[11:48] Ai
    Yeah, I'm surprised you knew.
[11:51] Mai
    We're going to be in an upcoming tournament.
[11:54] Ai
    Are you guys entering, too?
[11:57] Haru
    Yes.
[12:04] Ai
    I see.
[12:07] Haru
    What?
[12:08] Ai
    It's nothing. Mai, let's decide
    with rock-paper-scissors.
[12:12] Mai
    Aw, but we found these first!
[12:15] Mai
    You're too nice, Ai-senpai.
[12:18] Ai
    Oh, come on...
[12:19] Ai
    Does that work for you guys?
[12:22] Haru
    Y-Yes!
[12:24] Mai
    We're only doing this once, got it?
[12:26] Haru
    Bring it on!
[12:29] Ai
    I'm Tanahara Ai,
[12:31] Ai
    and she's Sunagawa Mai. She's my
    junior in the volleyball club.
[12:36] Kana
    Why are you entering a beach
    volleyball tournament?
[12:38] Ai
    Well... because of me, the Spring Tournament
     came to a frustrating end for us,
[12:44] Ai
    so I wanted to help her
    blow off some steam.
[12:47] Both
    Rock-paper-scissors!
[12:47] Kana
    Is Sunagawa-san a regular, too?
[12:50] Both
    One more time!
[12:50] Ai
    Yup. We're proud to have her as a libero.
[12:55] Both
    Rock-paper-scissors!
[12:57] Mai
    Yes!
[12:57] Haru
    No way!
[13:01] Mai
    Ai-senpai, we won!
[13:04] Haru
    I lost...
[13:05] Kana
    It's okay.
[13:07] Ai
    Let's both do our best in
    the upcoming tournament.
[13:11] Mai
    Bleh!
[13:17] Kana
    You wanted those swimsuits that badly?
[13:19] Haru
    Once they're out of reach, yeah...
    Losing them hurts even more.
[13:25] Haru
    All right! Then let's wear the one
    that you liked, Kanata-chan!
[13:29] Kana
    Huh? Are you sure?
[13:31] Haru
    Yeah!
[13:32] Haru
    I mean, when I lost at
    rock-paper-scissors back there,
[13:35] ---
    you looked a little relieved.
[13:38] Kana
    I-I'm sorry!
[13:40] Haru
    Since that's settled, we need to
    hurry so no one buys those before us!
[13:45] Kana
    Okay.
[13:52] Kana
    Sorry we took so long.
[13:55] Emily
    Huh? Where's Haruka?
[13:56] Kana
    She went to the bathroom.
[13:58] Emily
    So, were you able to buy that swimsuit?
[14:01] Kana
    Actually... someone beat us to it.
[14:03] Claire
    Aw, too bad. You seem pretty happy, though.
[14:09] Kana
    You think so?
[14:11] Haru
    I guess this worked out for the best.
[14:14] Haru
    Kanata-chan seemed pretty happy.
[14:19] Haru
    Th-That's...
[14:21] Haru
    Sorry to keep you waiting!
[14:24] Claire
    Welcome back.
[14:26] Claire
    So, why do you look so satisfied?
[14:29] Haru
    I just had a really good idea.
[14:32] Claire
    Good idea?
[14:34] Haru
    It's a secret for now.
[14:38] Grams
    Go on, eat up.
[14:42] Haru
    It's been too long since I've
    had your cooking, Granny Sora!
[14:47] All
    Let's eat.
[14:51] Emily
    I'm sorry for suddenly showing up like this.
[14:54] Grams
    I'll always welcome you with open arms.
[14:56] Grams
    Come over any time like you used to.
[14:58] Grams
    How's Marissa-san?
[15:00] Emily
    She's coaching in America right now,
[15:04] Emily
    but she's as ruthless as ever,
    so her athletes are scared of her.
[15:07] Grams
    I see.
[15:08] Claire
    So what's Haruka doing?
[15:11] Kana
    Should I go check on her?
[15:13] Haru
    Sorry to keep you waiting!
[15:15] Claire
    You're late! How long were
    you going to keep us waiting?
[15:17] Emily
    You're already eating.
[15:19] Claire
    Why so serious?
[15:21] Haru
    Guys, are you ready for this?
[15:25] Kana
    Haruka-chan?
[15:28] Haruka
    Ta-dah! Isn't this awesome?
[15:32] Haru
    I added in the minsa pattern!
[15:34] Haru
    Apparently, it's a traditional Okinawan
    pattern that means "forever."
[15:40] Claire
    Ooh, nice.
[15:43] Haru
    Here you go, Kanata-chan.
[15:47] Haru
    Isn't this perfect for us?
[15:53] Haru
    Huh? What's wrong?
[15:55] Emily
    Haruka...
[15:57] Emily
    It's true that the minsa pattern
     can mean that, too,
[16:01] Emily
    but you give this pattern to another
    when you're telling them how you feel.
[16:07] Emily
    In other words...
[16:09] Emily
    You give it to someone
    as a declaration of love.
[16:13] Haru
    S-Seriously?
[16:14] Claire
    Seriously.
[16:24] Haru
    That's great!
[16:25] Kana
    Huh?
[16:27] Haru
    I mean, well, I do love you, Kanata-chan.
[16:33] Kana
    You do?
[16:34] Haru
    Yeah! I love you!
[16:37] Haru
    Huh? Kanata-chan? What?
[16:40] Claire
    Good grief. That might've
    been too much for our Kanata.
[16:44] Emily
    Acting like an old lady again?
[16:46] Grams
    Come, now. Eat this while it's still hot.
[16:49] All
    Yes, ma'am.
[16:53] Haru
    Here you go.
SIGN    Wind
SIGN    Today
SIGN    How are you, Narumi? The new trimester has started, and now we have four members in the beach volleyball branch. The new members are Kanata, who came back, and her partner, Haruka. We're going to enter the Okinawa Junior Tournament.
[17:09] Emily
    How are you, Narumi?
[17:11] Emily
    The new trimester has started,
[17:12] ---
    and now we have four members in
    the beach volleyball branch.
[17:14] Emily
    The new members are Kanata,
    who came back, and her partner, Haruka.
[17:19] Emily
    We're going to enter the
    Okinawa Junior Tournament.
[17:23] Emily
    Now I think I was able to do
    what you asked me to do.
[17:29] Ayasa
    Hey, why don't we...
[17:35] Ayasa
    What are you smirking about?
[17:38] Naru
    Nothing.
[17:39] Ayasa
    Oh, come on. Now I'm curious.
[17:41] Ayasa
    Tell me!
[17:42] Naru
    It's nothing.
[17:44] Ayasa
    Aw, come on! What is it?
[17:46] Naru
    It's a secret!
[17:51] Claire
    You're getting much steadier.
[17:54] Haru
    You think so?
[17:56] Claire
    Is something wrong?
[17:57] Haru
    I wanted to catch up with Kanata-chan
     in time for the tournament.
[18:02] Claire
    Well, getting to her level
    might be a bit difficult.
[18:06] Haru
    I know. But I don't want
     to be a burden to her.
[18:10] Haru
    I definitely want to show her some
    results from my secret training!
[18:16] Claire
    All right, let's give it another shot.
[18:17] Haru
    Okay!
[18:21] Kana
    Huh? Where are Haruka-chan and Claire?
[18:24] Kana
    I thought they left before me.
[18:27] Emily
    Yeah... Hey, would you walk with me a bit?
[18:32] Kana
    Sure...
[18:37] Emily
    There's something I've been
    wanting to tell you for a while now.
[18:41] Kana
    Eh?
[18:42] Emily
    About two years ago... How Narumi
     really felt when she went to Kyoto.
[18:51] (Flashback) Emily
    Are you really going to Fukuchiyama
    Academy for high school?
[18:54] (Flashback) Naru
    Yeah. They have a beach volleyball team.
[18:58] (Flashback) Emily
    What do you think Kanata will do?
[19:01] (Flashback) Naru
    I don't know.
[19:03] (Flashback) Naru
    But...
[19:06] (Flashback) Naru
    I promised Kanata that I'd
     become the best in Japan someday.
[19:12] (Flashback) Emily
    Right.
[19:13] (Flashback) Naru
    I intend to keep that promise.
[19:16] (Flashback) Emily
    I see... But it's going
    to get lonely around here.
[19:24] (Flashback) Naru
    Emily, can I ask you just one thing?
[19:28] (Flashback) Naru
    If Kanata ever decides to
    get back on the court,
[19:30] (Flashback) Naru
    and she has someone who truly cares for her...
[19:36] (Flashback) Naru
    Give Kanata the push that she needs.
[19:40] (Flashback) Emily
    Are you really okay with that, Narumi?
[19:45] (Flashback) Naru
    Of course, I don't want Kanata
    to pair up with anyone besides me.
[19:50] (Flashback) Naru
    But I think I'll eventually end up
    with a new partner, too.
[19:55] (Flashback) Naru
    So when that time comes,
[19:59] (Flashback) Naru
    I don't want Kanata to
     just stop playing, either.
[20:05] Kana
    Narumi-chan said that...
[20:07] Emily
    I don't think that Narumi-chan's
    feelings have changed, even now.
[20:12] Emily
    That's why...
[20:23] Kana
    Haruka-chan?
[20:30] Emily
    Sorry! I know you two asked me
    to keep this a secret, but...
[20:34] Kana
    Why? You should've told me
    you wanted to practice.
[20:40] haru
    Well, I wanted to get as close
     to your level as I could.
[20:46] haru
    I wanted you to be able
    to trust me more.
[20:51] kana
    Your hands...
[20:53] haru
    Oh, this? This is nothing!
[20:57] Haru
    I want you to be able to receive
    the ball without worrying.
[21:07] Kana
    Okay.
[21:09] Kana
    But...
[21:11] Kana
    I wish you would've talked
    to me about all that first,
[21:17] Kana
    since I'm your partner.
[21:21] Kana
    I mean, we already bought our swimsuits!
[21:24] Kana
    Y-You'd better take responsibility
    for this, Haruka!
[21:29] Haruka
    You got it, Kanata!
[21:35] Kana
    Thanks, Haruka.
[21:42] Claire
    Do I mean that much to you, Emily?
[21:47] Emily
    Hey, since we're all here,
     why don't the four of us practice?
[21:52] Claire
    You ignored me!
[21:58] Kana
    From now on, let's concentrate
    on our own areas.
[22:02] Kana
    Got it, Haruka?
[22:04] Haru
    Okay, Kanata!
