    Not at all. I'm just glad you're

    This whole stretch of land is my farm.
[08:18] Mikoto
    Wow.
[08:19] Grandpa Shibusawa
    Fukaya is Japan's number
    one green onion producer.

    Whoa.

    Hey, it's the grown-up grade-schooler.

    It's good.
[09:41] Tatsuru
    Fukaya green onions have a sweetness
    other green onions don't.
[09:45] Grandpa Shibusawa
    These are summer onions.
    Winter onions are even sweeter.
[09:49] Grandpa Shibusawa
    They have as much sugar content
    as melons or tangerines.
[09:52] Tatsuru
    Really? That's practically a fruit.
[09:56] Haruki
    Green onions again? I want a Hamburg steak.
[09:59] Mother
    Now, don't be self-centered.
[10:03] Grandma Shibusawa
    That's just how young kids are.
[10:05] Grandma Shibusawa
    It's not meat, but try some of this.
[10:12] Haruki
    It's good!
[10:14] Tatsuru
    Green onion and apple salad?
[10:17] Grandma Shibusawa
    They go surprisingly well together.
[10:19] Grandma Shibusawa
    They say apples remove the
    strong smell of the onions.
[10:24] Grandpa Shibusawa
    That smell is part of
    what makes onions great.
[10:26] Grandma Shibusawa
    Yes, yes.
[10:30] Tatsuru
    Thank you.
[10:32] Grandma Shibusawa
    You ate so much, it was
    worth making all that food.
[10:35] Grandma Shibusawa
    You certainly have the appetites of athletes.

    Make yourselves at home until

[18:53] Ono
    I wish I could say you did well, but...
[18:58] Ono
    Do you like badminton?
[19:02] Sota
    Yes.
[19:05] Ono
    I see.
[19:07] Yata
    Since Sota-kun won, it's 1-1. It all
    comes down to the third match.
[19:11] Amano
    It hasn't been long since Tonozaki and
    Tachibana started playing together.
[19:16] Amano
    Their individual strength will probably
    have a big influence on the match.
[19:22] Tonozaki
    He's your former teammate, right?
[19:25] Azuma
    Yes.
[19:26] Tonozaki
    You're acting pretty aloof, considering.
[19:30] Tonozaki
    Well, rather than nitpicking, I guess
    it'd be faster to start playing.
[19:36] Ref
    Love all. Begin.
[19:47] (Flashback) Teammate 1
    Azuma seemed down.
[19:49] (Flashback) Teammate 2
    Of course he is. Even if
    the surgery's successful,
[19:53] (Flashback) Teammate 2
    he was told he may not be
    able to play badminton again.
[19:56] (Flashback) Teammate 3
    Apparently he'd been pushing
    himself pretty hard for a while.
[20:00] (Flashback) Teammate 2
    Speaking of, a certain someone hasn't
    visited him, even though he's his partner.
[20:04] (Flashback) Teammate 1
    How can he face him after what happened?
[20:06] (Flashback) Teammate 3
    Seriously.
[20:23] Mikoto
    He must hate me.
[20:29] Mikoto
    I knew he did, but now that
    he's standing in front of me...
[20:33] Tatsuru
    Mikoto!
[20:45] Tomari Cheer Squad
    Azuma! Azuma! Azuma!
[20:49] Toya
    Mikoto, what are you doing?!
[20:50] Tomari Cheer Squad
    Azuma!
[20:52] Ono
    You've gotta overcome it eventually.
[20:55] Ono
    This is your moment of truth, Shiratori.
[21:06] Tatsuru
    I've got it!
[21:07] Azuma
    Could it be...
[21:08] Tatsuru
    Assholes...
[21:18] Ref
    11-5, interval.
[21:26] Azuma
    If this is it...
[21:30] Azuma
    If this is how it's going to be,
[21:33] Azuma
    I wish we'd never met.
