[00:05] Sign     Jinguji Rumi [00:05] Sign     Voice call [00:05] Sign     Sorry about last night.     Do you have time     to talk today? [00:06] Girl     Morning, Rumi! [00:08] Rumi     Morning. [01:44] Naori     It's time for war, my friends. [01:46] Naori     We shall rain fire and brimstone down     upon that second-year classroom— [01:50] Shiena     You're really amped up, Nyao-Nyao! SIGN    10. "Isn't My Queen Defenseless?" [01:52] Toyoshige     What's going on? [01:53] Jun     Apparently, Amamiya raided     a second-year classroom. [01:56] Jun     And now look at Naori. [01:59] Shiena     What do you mean, "raided"? [02:00] Shiena     I just dropped by to talk     to Maple during lunch. [02:04] Jun     It's funny. I can picture     it like I was there. [02:09] Toyoshige     So, you got him to agree to     a discussion? What time? [02:13] Shiena     Dunno. All I said was that     we'd go after school. [02:16] Shiena     I have no idea when second-year classes end. [02:18] Jun     Wait, you mean we're     keeping a senior waiting? [02:22] Toyoshige     Seriously? We should go. [02:24] Toyoshige     He may be steaming right now. [02:26] Jun     Right? [02:28] Shiena     Sorry, I've got stuff to do, so I'm out. [02:32] Naori     Huh? You're not coming with us?      I don't even know what Maple looks like. [02:36] Shiena     Uh, he wears glasses and looks     all bossy. How do I say this? [02:41] Shiena     He's kinda like Zaki! [02:45] Jun     Here, huh? [02:47] Naori     So, you'll do all the talking, right? [02:51] Jun     What happened to fire and brimstone? [02:53] Jun     Don't worry. I was planning     on that all along. [02:57] Naori     Okay. [02:57] Jun     Excuse us. Uh... [03:01] Furuma     The clubroom, right? [03:03] Furuma     That blondie showed up during     lunch and made a huge scene. [03:07] Toyoshige     Right, we apologize for that.     We'll tell her to tone it down. [03:11] Furuma     And also tell her to quit talking casually     to people she meets for the first time. [03:17] Furuma     As for giving you the clubroom... [03:22] Furuma     My answer is no. We have nowhere else to go. [03:25] Jun     We've got a grasp on the situation. [03:27] Jun     You're lacking a fifth member, right? [03:30] Jun     We have a full five.     All we need is the clubroom. [03:32] Jun     So... [03:32] Furuma     So... [03:33] Furuma     You want me to give up? [03:36] Furuma     "Clubrooms will be awarded to the club     that fulfills the requirements first." [03:40] Furuma     If that's was what the school     rules said, I'd abide by it. [03:43] Furuma     But that is nowhere in the rules.     So what reason do I have to give it up? [03:47] Jun     We're not asking you to let us have it     out of the goodness of your heart, of course. [03:51] Jun     We propose playing a match to settle this. [03:55] Furuma     What do I get out of     accepting this challenge? [03:57] Furuma     We requested the room first. [04:00] Furuma     If we lose, we miss out on it. [04:03] Furuma     What will winning get us? [04:06] Jun     I'll join your club. [04:08] Furuma     Okay, that makes sense. [04:11] Furuma     By the way, we're registering as the rec club,     but it'll actually be a chess club. [04:15] Furuma     Will you still join? [04:17] Jun     I'm fine with that. [04:18] Furuma     Interesting. With that said,     how will we compete? [04:22] Jun     In chess. [04:23] Furuma     You've got guts. Or maybe you're     just confident in your skills. [04:30] Furuma     In which case, allow me to     make an ill-natured remark. [04:34] Furuma     You first-years and I are not the same. [04:38] Furuma     I'm closer to graduation, meaning     I have fewer opportunities left. [04:42] Furuma     So we don't stand on equal footing. [04:45] Jun     Well... [04:46] Furuma     In order to bridge that gap, I want     the right to choose my opponent. [04:51] Furuma     What do you say? [04:55] Furuma     Oh, don't worry. I don't intend     to pick the blonde girl. [05:00] Furuma     I'm not going to be that nasty. [05:02] Furuma     Let's see... for instance, [05:05] Furuma     how about the girl over there? [05:07] Furuma     Have you played chess before? [05:10] Naori     Huh? [05:11] Naori     Just a little bit, a long time     ago. But... yeah, I guess. [05:15] Furuma     I see. So you just need     to work off the rust. [05:19] Furuma     We can play in your classroom. [05:22] Furuma     I got to lay out my terms,     so you can have home advantage. [05:25] Furuma     Now, when will we play? [05:28] Furuma     Would one week from now be too soon? [05:32] Naori     In two days. [05:34] Toyoshige     Did you hear that? [05:35] Toyoshige     "How about the girl over there," he said. [05:39] Jun     He was totally looking down on you. [05:42] Naori     Heh. I guess I'm just that good an actor. [05:45] Toyoshige     Yeah, right. [05:47] Toyoshige     Your shyness was just acting up. [05:49] Naori     Shaddup! I was wearing a mask! [05:52] Jun     That aside, I didn't know     you knew how to play chess. [05:57] Jun     You always turned me down when I asked. [05:59] Naori     Back when I was a baby. [06:02] Naori     Not taking my "no" for an answer, [06:04] Naori     my dad forced me into it... [06:06] Toyoshige     Phrasing, girl. [06:07] Naori     But it's true. I didn't wanna play. [06:11] Naori     I don't remember all the rules, but it     should be fine 'cause I can play shogi. [06:16] Naori     Actually, you teach me, Jun-kun. [06:19] Jun     I'm fine with that. [06:21] Toyoshige     Two days might not be enough,     though, don't you think? [06:24] Naori     I wasn't gonna sit around     and wait a whole week. [06:27] Naori     I want this over and done with. [06:29] Toyoshige     Better not lose, then. [06:31] Naori     Who do you think you're talking to? [06:33] Naori     Besides, Jun-kun and I'll be spending long,     passionate nights together until the match. [06:39] Jun     No, we won't! I'm only gonna     be teaching you chess. [06:42] Naori     You'll ignore me and go to bed? Rude! [06:46] Naori     Tell this loser hipster nerd off, Professor. [06:50] Toyoshige     Hey, loser hipster nerd. [06:52] Toyoshige     Why am I being put through this? [06:55] Jun     Don't ask me. [06:57] Jun     Anyway, we need to tell     Kamedake and Amamiya. [06:59] Sign     All [06:59] Sign     Club (Temp) [06:59] Sign     Professor [06:59] Sign     Naori [06:59] Sign     Jinguji Rumi [07:01] Sign     Jinguji Rumi [07:01] Sign     Jinguji Rumi [07:01] Sign     Voice call [07:01] Sign     Today [07:01] Sign     Sorry about last night.     Do you have time to talk today? [07:05] (Flashback) Naori     Why not go? [07:06] (Flashback) Rumi     Huh? [07:07] (Flashback) Naori     If I were in your shoes,     I wouldn't even consider going. [07:11] (Flashback) Naori     I wouldn't make Jun-kun decide.     But you were different. [07:16] (Flashback) Naori     You're wavering, right? [07:18] (Flashback) Naori     You're close enough that you     can't flatly turn him down. [07:23] (Flashback) Naori     And you feel bad for him too, right? [07:25] (Flashback) Rumi     That's not true... [07:27] (Flashback) Naori     I wouldn't understand it one bit,     but let me say this anyway. [07:32] (Flashback) Naori     I suggested it 'cause I wanna see how     Jun-kun would react if you decided to go. [07:37] (Flashback) Rumi     Huh? That sounds like     you want to test Jun. [07:42] (Flashback) Naori     What are you saying? You already tested him. [07:45] (Flashback) Naori     Don't you realize what you just did? [07:48] (Flashback) Naori     You wanted him to stop you, but he didn't. [07:52] (Flashback) Naori     You got your answer, but you still     won't decide? Isn't that weird? [07:57] (Flashback) Naori     Are you actually a nasty girl [07:59] (Flashback) Naori     who wants to keep the basketball boy     around 'cause he's a convenient tool? [08:04] (Flashback) Naori     If that's the case, I will say no more. [08:07] (Flashback) Naori     Actually, I may want to give you props. [08:11] (Flashback) Rumi     Why do you have to be so mean? [08:13] (Flashback) Naori     Me? Aren't you the one being mean? [08:16] (Flashback) Naori     If I'm wrong, then just go.     And tell me how Jun-kun reacts. [08:20] (Flashback) Rumi     What if Jun stops me? [08:24] (Flashback) Naori     What, you mean to say that'll put you in     the driver's seat? Then he'll be yours? [08:31] (Flashback) Rumi     That's not what I meant. [08:33] (Flashback) Naori     It's fine. Don't worry about that. [08:35] (Flashback) Naori     I'm just curious what Jun-kun will do. [08:41] (Flashback) Naori     Besides... [08:46] (Flashback) Naori     I don't believe he'll     choose to do anything. [08:51] Kanako     Rumi! [08:53] Kanako     What're you spacing out for? [08:55] Rumi     Sorry, I'm just thinking about something. [08:58] Kanako     You didn't hear me call out to you? [09:00] Kanako     Mizuma wanted to talk to     you the other day, right? [09:03] Kanako     Hurry up and tell us what you talked about. [09:07] Girl A     Did he ask you out? [09:10] Girl B     Huh? Isn't he friends with Shirosaki? [09:13] Rumi     I'll leave that up to your imagination. [09:17] Kanako     Well, Reira? [09:20] Reira     Don't ask me. [09:22] Reira     Just tell 'em, Rumi. They're being a pain. [09:26] Rumi     Nah, I'd feel bad for Mizuma. [09:29] Rumi     Oops. [09:30] Kanako     Wait, really?! [09:31] Girl B     But wait, Mizuma's got game.     Lots of girls must be interested in him. [09:35] Girl C     Yikes. She might get     attacked on the way home. [09:37] Kanako     Rest assured, Rumi.     We'll guard you off the court, too. [09:42] Rumi     Not very reassuring! Just leave me alone! [09:47] Rumi     What's wrong? [09:49] Mai     Nothing. [09:50] Mai     Keep it between us,     but I dated Mizuma for a bit. [09:55] Rumi     Huh? [09:56] Reira     We need to lock up already. [09:58] Rumi     Let's talk later. [10:00] Mai     Yeah. I want to sit down     and discuss this, too. [10:03] Kanako     What, going somewhere? [10:04] Kanako     We'll join you. [10:06] Rumi     Er... [10:07] Mai     It's fine. [10:09] Kanako     Huh?! [10:11] Kanako     Wait, you really went out with Mizuma?! [10:13] Kanako     Did you know, Reira? [10:16] Reira     First I'm hearing of it. When was this? [10:19] Mai     Around spring break. But, well... [10:22] Mai     I got dumped real quick. [10:25] Mai     He even said no at first     when I asked him out. [10:28] Mai     But I begged him to at least     try it out for a week. [10:32] Kanako     Seriously? You could've told me. [10:36] Mai     How could I? I was acting so pathetic. [10:39] Rumi     Not true. I went crying to Reira so     many times during my relationship. [10:43] Reira     Yeah, she had a good moan     basically every day. [10:46] Rumi     A good moan? [10:48] Kanako     Why'd he dump you, by the way? [10:51] Mai     That's our forward, always aggressive. [10:55] Mai     He said he liked someone else. [10:57] Rumi     Huh? [10:58] Kanako     So that was it. [11:00] Kanako     You gotta fix this, Rumi. [11:02] Rumi     Easy for you to say. [11:04] Mai     It's fine, Kanako. [11:06] Mai     Please, Rumi. Tell me     what Mizuma said to you. [11:12] Rumi     Okay. [11:18] Kanako     Sigh... [11:20] Kanako     Mizuma, Shirosaki, or whoever. [11:23] Kanako     You guys are being such strangers.     Why won't you let me in on your secrets? [11:28] Reira     Because they're secrets, probably. [11:31] Kanako     Yeah, yeah. I'm the only one without     any dating experience, after all. [11:35] Kanako     I get that it's awkward to talk about. [11:38] Kanako     But we're friends. I wanna     be there for you guys. [11:41] Mai     Yeah. Thanks, Kanako. [11:45] Kanako     That aside, Rumi! [11:47] Kanako     You need to go hang out with Mizuma! [11:49] Rumi     Huh? [11:50] Kanako     Go ask him about Mai. [11:53] Kanako     You're not interested, so he's     better off getting back with her. [11:59] Mai     Wait, Kanako. I'm not really... [12:01] Kanako     You still like him, right? [12:03] Mai     Well, yeah... [12:05] Kanako     Then... [12:06] Rumi     Okay. I'll go ask him. [12:09] Mai     Are you sure, Rumi? [12:11] Rumi     Yep. I need to do this for you. [12:16] Jun     I want to talk about last night. [12:18] Sign     Jun [12:18] Sign     Voice call [12:18] Sign     Today [12:18] Sign     Jun: Sorry about last night.     Do you have time to talk today? [12:18] Sign     Jun: I want to talk about last night.     I'll be waiting by the station. [12:19] Jun     I'll be waiting by the station. [12:23] Sign     Voice call [12:23] Sign     Sorry about last night.     Do you have time     to talk today?          I want to talk about last night.     I'll be waiting by the station. [12:23] Sign     Sorry. [12:23] Rumi     Sorry. [12:23] Sign     Jinguji Rumi [12:24] Sign     Sorry about last night.     Do you have time     to talk today?          I want to talk about last night.     I'll be waiting by the station. [12:24] Sign     Sorry. [12:24] Sign     I don't think I can make it.     I'm still with teammates. [12:24] Rumi     I don't think I can make it.     I'm still with my teammates. [12:29] Sign     Roger that! [12:29] Sign     Today [12:29] Sign     Can I come over     for chess lessons? [12:29] Naori     Can I come over for chess lessons? [12:33] Jun     Sure. [12:36] Jun     Now... [12:38] Jun     How much do you remember about chess? [12:39] Naori     Well, it's based off of the Indian     game of chaturanga, just like shogi. [12:43] Jun     That's not what I mean. [12:44] Naori     I know. You mean the rules, right? [12:48] Naori     I remember a fair bit. [12:50] Naori     But this piece here... [12:52] Naori     The pawn? Didn't it have a     weird way of capturing pieces? [12:56] Jun     You mean en passant?     Yeah, it's different from shogi. [13:01] Jun     Do you know how to read the notation? [13:03] Naori     The files are alphabetical and     the ranks are numerical, right? [13:06] Jun     Hey, so you do know. [13:09] Jun     Okay, so the 5th rank... [13:17] Rumi     Sorry about yesterday.     I'd like to talk about it, too. [13:21] Rumi     I'll contact you again later. [13:25] Jun     Let's call it a night. [13:27] Naori     Already? I wanna keep going for a bit. [13:30] Jun     Your mom will worry if you're out too late. [13:32] Naori     No way. You're our friendly     neighborhood neighbors. [13:36] Naori     Heck, I could even stay the night. [13:37] Jun     Uh, go home. We've got school tomorrow. [13:40] Naori     So, I could stay over      if we didn't have school? [13:43] Jun     That's not how it works. [13:45] Naori     Tell me. When can I stay the night? [13:48] Jun     Oh, come on. You know that's a bad idea. [13:51] Jun     Oh, right. There's a novel     I've been meaning to tell you about. [13:55] Jun     It's about chess, actually... [13:58] Jun     Er, Naori? [14:02] Naori     I wanna stay. [14:04] Jun     Don't be ridiculous. [14:06] Naori     Why was it okay when we were     kids but not okay now? [14:11] Jun     You know why. Don't be a baby now, okay? [14:17] Jun     But I get it. It'd be fun if we all spent     the night together like we used to. [14:22] Naori     Not "we all." [14:26] Naori     Sorry for being selfish. [14:28] Naori     I'll go now. [14:33] Rumi     I'm back. [14:39] Rumi     Mom, where's Naori? [14:41] Jingujimom     Over at Jun-kun's. [14:43] Rumi     Oh, really? [14:46] Jun     No, I'm sorry, too. [14:48] Jun     Why don't we get lunch together tomorrow? [14:48] Sign     Sorry about yesterday.     I'd like to talk about it, too. [14:48] Sign     I'll contact you again later. [14:48] Sign     No, I'm sorry too.     Why don't we get lunch together tomorrow? [14:48] Sign     Jun [14:51] Naori     I'm back. [14:53] Rumi     Welcome home, [14:54] Sign     Sorry about yesterday.     I'd like to talk about it, too. [14:54] Sign     I'll contact you again later. [14:54] Sign     No, I'm sorry too.     Why don't we get lunch together tomorrow? [14:54] Sign     Jun [14:54] Sign     Sure. [14:54] Rumi     Naori. [14:54] Sign     I'll contact you again later. [14:54] Sign     No, I'm sorry too.     Why don't we get lunch together tomorrow? [14:54] Sign     Jun [14:54] Sign     Sure. [14:56] Rumi     Naori's playing chess? [14:58] Rumi     She used to hate it so much. [15:01] Jun     It's a long story. [15:03] Jun     Haven't you heard from Naori? [15:06] Rumi     Heard what? [15:07] Jun     Oh, so she didn't tell you. [15:10] Jun     I'm not sure if I should be     the one to say it. [15:14] Rumi     Should I pretend I don't know? [15:16] Jun     That'd help. Okay, so... [15:18] Jun     Naori suggested that we form a club. [15:21] Rumi     Huh? What kinda club? [15:23] Jun     Oh, we just get together and chat. [15:25] Rumi     Uh, what? [15:27] Jun     I had the same reaction at first.     But, yeah, that's where the chess comes in. [15:32] Rumi     I see. Good luck with that. [15:35] Jun     Thanks. [15:36] Jun     Anyway, about the other night... [15:39] Rumi     Yeah. [15:41] Jun     I'm sorry. You were right to     say I was being irresponsible. [15:45] Jun     Just... Ango's a good friend.     I couldn't do him dirty. [15:50] Jun     But also, I'll admit that     I didn't like the idea. [15:54] Jun     Honestly, I couldn't figure     out what I should do, [15:58] Jun     so I simply wanted to hear your thoughts. [16:04] Jun     That's why I said what I did. [16:07] Rumi     Right. Mizuma's your friend. [16:11] Rumi     I wanted you to stop me so badly that     I didn't account for that. Sorry. [16:17] Jun     Let me apologize, too. Sorry. [16:20] Rumi     You just said you didn't like the idea. [16:24] Rumi     If I said I wanted to go hang out with     Mizuma, would you be against it? [16:27] Jun     Are you going to? [16:28] Rumi     I have something to ask him.     Oh, it's teammate-related. [16:34] Jun     It's true. I don't like the idea. [16:38] Jun     But I'm not your boyfriend. [16:41] Jun     If anything, I'm the one     making things complicated. [16:45] Jun     That's why I couldn't say it,     because it'd make me look pathetic. [16:51] Jun     I know that Ango's a good dude.     And you need to talk to him, right? [16:57] Rumi     Yeah. [16:58] Jun     Then you should go. [17:01] Rumi     Thanks. [17:04] Rumi     Mizuma. [17:06] Rumi     I'll go. [17:08] Sakaguchi     You sure? [17:09] Rumi     Yeah, but can we do tomorrow? [17:11] Sakaguchi     How sudden. [17:13] Rumi     Do you have plans? [17:14] Sakaguchi     Nope, I'm free. [17:17] Rumi     Okay. See you later, then. [17:23] Rumi     What should I wear tomorrow? [17:27] Jingujimom     Rumi. [17:28] Rumi     What? [17:30] Jingujimom     Naori's over next door again tonight. [17:34] Jingujimom     Mrs. Shirosaki asked if you'd like     to join them for dinner, too. [17:38] Jingujimom     Why don't you take them up on the offer? [17:42] Naori     Okay, so... [17:43] Naori     I get the dinner part, but that's     over. Why are you still here? [17:45] Rumi     Hey, let me watch. You're playing     for the clubroom tomorrow, right? [17:51] Naori     Jun-kun! [17:52] Jun     Sorry. [17:53] Rumi     Oops. My bad, Jun! [17:55] Naori     It's fine. I wasn't trying to     keep it a secret or anything. [18:00] Naori     But you now have one more DATURA, Jun-kun. [18:03] Naori     Reach ten DATURA, and you get slapped. [18:05] Jun     Don't use DATURA as a counter. [18:07] Rumi     Who's winning right now? [18:10] Jun     I hate to admit it, but     she's got the upper hand. [18:13] Naori     But look, Jun-kun... [18:15] Naori     Isn't my queen defenseless? [18:18] Jun     I know that. But I'll lose if I take it. [18:21] Jun     That's a Bobby Fischer move     if I've ever seen one. [18:25] Naori     Come on, now. [18:26] Jun     Fine. I'll take the bait. [18:27] Jun     And I'm going to turn things around! [18:30] Naori     Losing your cool in chess     equals defeat, y'know? [18:32] Jun     Yeah, yeah, I'm sure you're an expert. [18:39] Naori     There, I win! [18:41] Naori     I've been wanting to try     sacrificing the queen. [18:45] Jun     You got me. [18:48] Jun     I hate losing, but I can also rest easy now. [18:51] Jun     You'll be fine tomorrow. [18:53] Naori     Thanks. [18:54] Naori     Y'know, were you trying to force     a stalemate in the middle there? [18:58] Rumi     What's that? [19:00] Jun     Chess has draws. I considered     it for a moment there. [19:04] Jun     I can't believe she saw through that, too. [19:07] Naori     Did you really think I'd let you? [19:09] Naori     I'm adding one more DATURA as punishment. [19:12] Naori     The slap's getting closer. [19:13] Jun     Don't you dare! How will I explain     a slap mark to our parents? [19:17] Naori     Wanna change it to a kiss mark, then? [19:19] Jun     Some alternative that is!     I don't have any lipstick, either. [19:22] Rumi     Huh? [19:22] Naori     Huh? [19:24] Jun     What? [19:27] Rumi     Nothing. Don't worry about it. [19:29] Jun     But you're laughing! [19:31] Naori     I don't dislike that side of you, Jun-kun. [19:34] Rumi     Yeah, me neither. [19:37] Rumi     I see. Lipstick, huh? [19:40] Rumi     Jun's always been like that.     He knows a lot, but he doesn't get it. [19:45] Naori     A normal kid wouldn't smugly say that     5 is the most likely roll of the dice to get. [19:51] Rumi     He did say that! [19:52] Rumi     And then, he lost badly and     sulked, just like now. [19:56] Jun     I'm not sulking! I never have! [19:59] Naori     Don't laugh too much. He'll get angry. [20:03] Jun     It's a bit late for that. [20:05] Rumi     I feel like it's been a while since     we've had a laugh together like this. [20:19] Rumi     Huh? Are you heading out too, Jun? [20:21] Jun     Yeah. [20:22] Jun     Well, I'm a bit early,      but I figured we should plan. [20:26] Rumi     I see. She's actually up, for once. [20:30] Jun     Are you going to see Ango now? [20:32] Rumi     Yep. Good luck to you too, Jun. [20:35] Rumi     Wait, Naori's the one playing, huh? [20:37] Rumi     Anyway, I'm off. [20:39] Jun     Take care. [20:41] Rumi     I will, thanks. [20:55] Shiena     I'm so sorry! [20:57] Toyoshige     Late again? [20:59] Shiena     I said sorry. [21:01] Shiena     Here. Let me off with these. [21:03] Naori     Very well. I hereby declare you not guilty. [21:06] Shiena     Thank you, Nyao-Nyao! [21:08] Toyoshige     Show some killer instinct, will you?     You've got a big match coming up. [21:12] Shiena     Y'know... [21:13] Shiena     Aren't you being awfully     cold toward me, Professor? [21:16] Ririsu     Oh? Did she just get him? [21:19] Toyoshige     I-I'm not being cold or anything. [21:22] Jun     It was super effective. [21:29] Jun     You want a drink, too? [21:30] Naori     Yeah. I want some sugar     to keep my brain working. [21:35] Jun     What happened to the pudding? [21:36] Naori     That was for prep time.     The drink's for the match. [21:40] Jun     Think you'll win? [21:41] Naori     Oh, please. Poor is the pupil who     does not surpass her master. [21:45] Jun     I taught you all you know, not everything     I know. But you picked it up anyway. [21:49] Jun     Get whatever you like. [21:50] Naori     Huh? You're treating me? [21:53] Jun     Least I could do. Our clubroom's     fate is riding on you. [21:58] Naori     Thanks! [22:06] Sign     Sakaguchi Mizuma [22:06] Sign     I'm serious about Rumi, okay?
