SIGN    I'll Keep Our Promise
[00:01] Haruka
    Huh? I wonder who that is...
[00:07] Both
    Mom?
[00:08] Kanata
    Marissa?
[00:09] Marissa
    I thought you girls would be here.
[00:12] Claire
    Welcome back!
[00:13] Emily
    You're back earlier than we expected.
[00:15] Marissa
    Yup. Have you two been well?
[00:18] Claire
    Of course.
[00:19] Emily
    What about Dad?
[00:21] Marissa
    Oh, he's fine. Don't worry about him.
[00:23] Marissa
    More importantly...
[00:25] Marissa
    Kanata.
[00:33] Marissa
    It's been so long.
[00:34] Kanata
    R-Right...
[00:36] Marissa
    I'm so glad you came back.
[00:52] Marissa
    I'll be here until next season,
[00:55] Marissa
    so let me know if you need anything.
[00:57] Kanata
    I will, thank you.
[01:00] ---
    But didn't the season just end?
[01:04] Marissa
    Well...
[01:10] Haruka
    Me?
[02:42] Haruka
    Me?
[02:45] Marissa
    Yes!
[02:49] Marissa
    I came here to train you two!
[02:53] Haruka
    She's taller than me?!
[02:55] Marissa
    It's great to meet you, Haruka!
[02:58] Haruka
    I should be happy, but somehow,
    I'm just frustrated!
[03:03] Haruka
    What is this feeling?
[03:05] Haruka
    Actually, maybe I feel at ease...
[03:09] Akari
    Wait, does that mean you're
    going to be our club's coach?
[03:13] Marissa
    Yes, Shii-chan!
[03:14] Akari
    My name's Akari! Who are you talking about?
[03:18] Akari
    Claire-san!
[03:19] Claire
    How'd you know it was me?!
[03:21] Haruka
    But are you sure?
[03:22] ---
    You're a pro coach and you want to coach me?
[03:24] Marissa
    Don't worry about that.
[03:26] Marissa
    I can't say no to my
    precious little daughter.
[03:27] Claire
    Now, now, don't get so mad...
[03:29] Claire
    You don't have to tell her that, Mom!
[03:31] Marissa
    Well, there's no reason to hide it.
[03:34] Marissa
    Now, then...
[03:40] Akari
    Amazing!
[03:41] Akari
    I'd expect nothing less
    from an athlete mommy!
[03:43] Akari
    Please tell me your secrets!
[03:44] Haruka
    Claire.
[03:44] Marissa
    Secrets? What?
[03:45] Haruka
    Thanks.
[03:46] Akari
    That body of yours!
[03:48] Claire
    Sure.
[03:54] Marissa
    Are you ready?
[03:55] All
    Yes, ma'am!
[03:57] Akari
    Yes?
[03:58] Claire
    Don't worry, Shii-chan.
    I'll take good care of you.
[04:01] Akari
    No! I want to learn from the athlete mommy
[04:05] ---
    and get a lovely body, too!
[04:09] Marissa
    We'll leave Shii-chan with Claire,
[04:12] Marissa
    and I'll have you two get my spikes.
[04:17] Marissa
    Emily, set for me.
[04:19] Emily
    Okay.
[04:20] Haruka
    Um, we just have to get your spikes?
[04:24] Marissa
    Yes! Well, aren't you confident?
[04:27] Marissa
    But I wonder if you can actually get them.
[04:33] Marissa
    Here comes the next one!
[04:35] Kanata
    Right!
[04:35] Haruka
    Wha...
[04:41] Haruka
    E-Even Kanata couldn't...
[04:43] Marissa
    This isn't good.
[04:45] Marissa
    I'm not as strong as I used to be.
[04:47] Haruka
    Huh?! If you feel less powerful now,
    just how strong were you?
[04:52] Marissa
    I used to do so much better...
[04:55] Marissa
    I guess I can't fight my age.
[04:58] Marissa
    All right, let's keep this going.
[05:01] Kanata
    Right!
[05:03] Haruka
    Crap... She might be even more
    hardcore than I thought.
[05:21] Haruka
    Can we even get these?
[05:22] ---
    I feel like she's on a
    completely different level...
[05:25] Kanata
    But I don't think Marissa will
    say anything we can't do.
[05:29] Kanata
    We're just lacking something.
[05:32] Marissa
    Exactly.
[05:34] Marissa
    It's true that Haruka can't block right now,
[05:38] Marissa
    and you also can't receive right now, Kanata.
[05:41] Marissa
    But you can do it.
[05:44] Marissa
    You must always be thinking
    when you're on the court.
[05:47] Marissa
    You remember that, right, Kanata?
[05:49] Kanata
    Yes.
[05:50] Marissa
    The answer exists within this court.
[05:54] Haruka
    You say that, but...
[05:59] Haruka
    Why are we practicing together, anyway?
[06:03] Haruka
    If we're practicing the basics
    for blocking or receiving,
[06:06] ---
    it'd be better if we practiced separately.
[06:17] Haruka
    We'd like to try one more time.
[06:20] Emily
    Here.
[06:30] Kanata
    One more time.
[06:33] (Flashback) Kanata
    Listen...
[06:35] (Flashback) Kanata
    You don't have to try to
    stop the ball with a block.
[06:39] Haruka
    Right...
[06:42] ---
    Instead, I'm going to try to slow
    the ball's momentum a little.
[06:46] Haruka
    That way...
[06:48] Kanata
    One more time, please.
[06:55] Haruka
    Kanata!
[06:56] Kanata
    Got it!
[06:57] Kanata
    I'll do the rest!
[07:04] Haruka
    It went up!
[07:11] Marissa
    Looks like you got it.
[07:13] Haruka
    Yes.
[07:14] Haruka
    Even if neither of us can get this ball alone...
[07:16] Kanata
    We can get it if we work together.
[07:19] Marissa
    Right. Be it blocking or receiving,
[07:23] ---
    you individually need to
    have the techniques down.
[07:25] Marissa
    But there are still things
    you can't do alone.
[07:29] Marissa
    When that happens,
     you need to think together,
[07:32] ---
    and come up with an answer together.
[07:36] Marissa
    Pairing with a partner is like
    getting married, in a way.
[07:40] Marissa
    Once you're both able to support
    and understand each other,
[07:43] Marissa
    your team can finally grow.
[07:46] Marissa
    That's the key you need
     to make it to nationals.
[07:50] Both
    Yes, ma'am!
[07:52] Marissa
    Why don't we take a break?
[07:54] Both
    Thank you very much!
[07:56] Akari
    I bought some popsicles!
[08:00] Marissa
    Haruka...
[08:01] Haruka
    Yes?
[08:02] Marissa
    Do you find it hard to think and move?
[08:06] Haruka
    Yes.
[08:08] Haruka
    And to be honest, I really lack experience.
[08:13] Haruka
    But I guess the only way to fix
    that is to gain more experience.
[08:17] Marissa
    Right, at least for now.
[08:21] Marissa
    But I personally don't think
[08:24] ---
    the only relevant experience
    here is beach volleyball.
[08:30] Marissa
    Look at Kanata's face...
[08:32] Marissa
    We wouldn't have been able to see
    her smile like that on our own.
[08:38] Marissa
    Since you were able to achieve that,
     you have empathy.
[08:44] Marissa
    Continue getting the hang
    of this with your heart.
[08:46] Marissa
    That's your own way of
    playing beach volleyball.

[09:05] Haruka
    It's scary.
[09:06] Claire
    Isn't our mom amazing?
[09:09] Kanata
    Marissa hasn't changed a bit.
[09:11] Akari
    Come to think of it,
     you two met Kanata-san
[09:15] ---
    in the junior tournament, right?
[09:18] Kanata
    Yup.
[09:19] Akari
    Back then, you were partners with Narumi-san.

    Yes. We played each other in the finals.

    Yup.

    Bring it on!
[11:25] Kanata
    Because of that, the two of us also
    started practicing with Marissa.
[11:31] Akari
    Wow, talk about experiencing youth!
[11:35] Haruka
    So everyone was connected
    through beach volleyball.
[11:38] Claire
    Emily was so cute back then.
[11:41] Emily
    What do you mean, "back then"?
[11:43] Claire
    Oh, my bad. You're still cute.
[11:46] Emily
    That's creepy in its own way.
[11:47] Claire
    What?!
[11:49] Akari
    But you've all been playing
    together since then.

[15:36] Haruka
    Apparently, Narumi-san is back in Okinawa.
[15:40] Kanata
    Narumi-chan is?
[15:42] Ayasa
    I wanted to contact you guys sooner,
[15:45] ---
    but someone was being a bit difficult.
[15:48] Haruka
    Then...
[15:49] ---
    The airport! We'll head to the airport!
[15:52] Ayasa
    I figured you'd say that.
[15:55] Haruka
    Oh, I'm not that amazing...
[15:57] Ayasa
    But we need to check in by 3:30.
[16:01] Haruka
    Got it. Please tell Narumi-san.
[16:06] Ayasa
    Got it.
[16:07] Ayasa
    I see that Haruka hasn't changed at all.
[16:10] Ayasa
    She said she's going to come
    to the airport with Higa-san.
[16:16] Ayasa
    But I wonder if they'll
    actually make it in time.
[16:20] Kanata
    Haruka, wait...
[16:23] Haruka
    Kanata, why don't you just go
    see Narumi-san face-to-face?
[16:29] Kanata
    But...
[16:30] Claire
    I agree.
[16:33] Emily
    Me, too.
[16:35] Emily
    Narumi's been worried about you
    this whole time, Kanata. Really.
[16:40] Haruka
    It'll be fine. You can do this now, Kanata.
[16:45] Akari
    U-Um, I'm not exactly sure what's going on,
[16:49] Akari
    but Kanata-san, you said you
    started playing beach volleyball
[16:53] ---
    because you wanted to
    be closer to her, right?
[16:56] Akari
    And that's why you wanted
    to talk to me, too, right?
[17:00] Akari
    That made me really happy.
[17:04] Akari
    I'm sure Narumi-san feels the same.
[17:08] Akari
    So I think you just need to go see her.
[17:11] Akari
    Not as her former partner, but as her friend.
[17:15] Kanata
    Akari-chan...
[17:17] Haruka
    Well?
[17:28] Kanata
    Yeah.
[17:30] Haruka
    Okay, let's go.

    Hurry up, Kanata!

    Nice timing!

    Marissa-san?

    I called her.
[17:42] Haruka
    You're amazing, Claire!
[17:43] Emily
    Apparently you can do something
    right once in a while, Claire.
[17:45] Claire
    Hey!
[17:46] Kanata
    Thanks, everyone!
[17:47] Akari
    Come on, we should hurry.
[17:53] Marissa
    Hi, girls!
[17:55] Kanata
    Thank you so much.
[17:58] Marissa
    No worries. It's no problem at all, Kanata.

    Really? It's a promise, then!
[21:08] (Flashback) Narumi
    Yeah.
[21:22] Kanata
    Narumi-chan!
[21:36] Kanata
    O-Our promise...
[21:44] Kanata
    Our promise... to become
    national champions...
[21:51] Kanata
    I'll keep our promise.
[21:54] ---
    But this time, with Haruka!
[22:00] Kanata
    I swear I will!
[22:04] Lady
    Um, miss...
[22:05] Ayasa
    Sorry, we'll be right on our way.
[22:08] Ayasa
    Come on, Narumi. You should
    at least say something.
[23:29] Haruka
    And then, our unforgettable summer arrived!
