00:02.543 --> 00:05.713
<i>Chinatsu Senpai and Haryu Senpai?</i>

00:09.263 --> 00:12.053
I'm sure they're just friends!

00:12.143 --> 00:14.353
I mean, we're walking home together too!

00:15.223 --> 00:16.603
You're right!

00:16.683 --> 00:18.853
Walking home together is just normal!

00:18.933 --> 00:20.103
Exactly.

00:20.943 --> 00:22.273
Yeah, exactly!

00:25.693 --> 00:26.693
Wha?!

00:27.193 --> 00:28.903
They're both superstars after all.

00:28.993 --> 00:29.863
Well…

00:30.613 --> 00:34.703
They're in the same class,
and they sit together.

00:34.783 --> 00:37.373
Plus, they were both selected
to be class reps.

00:37.913 --> 00:40.753
-You're using foreign words.
-Not your world, huh?

00:40.833 --> 00:42.253
SAME CLASS, SIT TOGETHER, BOTH REPS

00:42.333 --> 00:44.463
Don't worry about it.

00:44.543 --> 00:48.093
Chinatsu Senpai said
she wanted to focus on basketball anyway.

00:48.173 --> 00:49.513
Maybe.

00:49.593 --> 00:53.263
But you can't stop yourself
from falling in love!

00:53.343 --> 00:55.223
You've got a point there.

00:56.183 --> 00:58.523
Who actually says that in real life?

01:03.273 --> 01:06.523

EPISODE 3
CHII

02:32.823 --> 02:35.283
How's the team looking this year?

02:35.363 --> 02:38.493
Our leading talents are
the third-years plus Haryu.

02:39.243 --> 02:41.583
<i>I guess Haryu's on another level?</i>

02:41.663 --> 02:45.253
<i>He's got the potential</i>
<i>to compete on the national stage.</i>

02:45.333 --> 02:48.753
But personally,
I've got high hopes for him too.

02:53.963 --> 02:56.013
Sorry about the ball!

02:58.223 --> 02:59.593
<i>Chinatsu Senpai!</i>

03:01.143 --> 03:05.023
<i>Looking at her</i>
<i>just reminds me of yesterday.</i>

03:06.183 --> 03:07.523
-Okay, then.
-Wait!

03:08.353 --> 03:10.523
When do you get off practice today?

03:12.073 --> 03:14.033
I forgot my house key.

03:14.113 --> 03:16.283
And your folks said they'd be out.

03:17.203 --> 03:18.203
At 7:00.

03:18.283 --> 03:22.283
<i>-Wait, what if someone overhears us?</i>
-My practice ends at 7:00 too.

03:23.123 --> 03:24.373
-Then--
-Chii.

03:24.453 --> 03:26.703
Does your team have an extra timer?

03:27.373 --> 03:28.623
-Ours is broken.
<i>-Chii?</i>

03:28.713 --> 03:30.173
I don't think we do.

03:30.253 --> 03:31.293
I figured.

03:31.383 --> 03:35.803
<i>Did he just call Chinatsu Senpai "Chii"?</i>

03:38.883 --> 03:40.803
<i>I'm so jealous!</i>

03:40.893 --> 03:43.813
<i>How close are they?</i>

03:43.893 --> 03:48.313
<i>Not only do I call her Chinatsu,</i>
<i>I even add the "senpai" honorific!</i>

03:48.393 --> 03:50.063
-Chii!
<i>-Plus!</i>

03:50.143 --> 03:51.313
-Yes?
<i>-She seems okay with it.</i>

03:51.403 --> 03:52.483
-Hey, Chii!
-Hi!

03:52.563 --> 03:55.193
<i>What would I have to do to call her that?</i>

03:55.283 --> 03:57.323
-May I call you Chii?
-Yes.

03:57.403 --> 03:58.283
INOMATA

03:58.363 --> 03:59.533
<i>Since they're classmates?</i>

03:59.613 --> 04:00.913
<i>Since they sit together?</i>

04:01.533 --> 04:05.293
<i>Or is it because</i>
<i>they're both superstars on their teams?</i>

04:09.753 --> 04:10.963
<i>I'm so lame.</i>

04:11.963 --> 04:14.213
<i>There's no point dwelling on this.</i>

04:15.003 --> 04:16.633
<i>There's nothing I can do.</i>

04:16.713 --> 04:19.723
<i>I can never be the same grade as her.</i>

04:20.473 --> 04:22.973
<i>Even if she told me I could call her Chii,</i>

04:23.513 --> 04:24.723
<i>I couldn't.</i>

04:25.603 --> 04:26.973
<i>If we didn't live together…</i>

04:27.643 --> 04:29.983
<i>if we weren't in such close proximity…</i>

04:30.643 --> 04:32.563
<i>I wouldn't be struggling with this.</i>

04:35.653 --> 04:37.733
Chi… na… tsu--

04:37.823 --> 04:39.493
-I'm home.
-Senpai!

04:40.363 --> 04:41.573
What's wrong?

04:41.653 --> 04:42.743
It's nothing.

04:42.823 --> 04:45.873
<i>I'm such a creep!</i>

04:45.953 --> 04:48.753
<i>Lame plus creep equals me!</i>

04:51.333 --> 04:53.793
You got home fast.

04:55.593 --> 04:57.053
When I was heading home,

04:57.133 --> 05:00.013
the badminton players
were just going into their clubroom.

05:00.883 --> 05:04.263
You said practice ended at 7:00,
but I guess it ran long.

05:05.553 --> 05:07.263
<i>What is wrong with me?</i>

05:08.853 --> 05:10.933
<i>All she did was say "badminton players,"</i>

05:11.523 --> 05:14.523
<i>and all I'm thinking is that she means</i>
<i>Haryu Senpai.</i>

05:15.613 --> 05:17.863
-Sorry, I'll go to my room.
-Wait.

05:20.493 --> 05:21.443
Sorry.

05:22.323 --> 05:24.283
I wanted to ask you something.

05:25.243 --> 05:27.283
I'll be embarrassed
if I'm wrong about this.

05:28.123 --> 05:30.043
But did you run home?

05:30.873 --> 05:34.043
I noticed you sweating,
so I thought maybe you did.

05:34.123 --> 05:35.673
Is that because

05:35.753 --> 05:37.883
I went home earlier than you

05:37.963 --> 05:40.673
<i>and you didn't want</i>
<i>to keep me waiting outside?</i>

05:44.053 --> 05:46.303
<i>-How did she notice that?</i>
-I did wait at school.

05:46.393 --> 05:50.063
<i>All I've done is worry about</i>
<i>what to call her.</i>

05:51.223 --> 05:54.193
<i>But knowing how carefully</i>
<i>she was watching me,</i>

05:54.273 --> 05:57.233
<i>makes me so happy that</i>
<i>I don't care about that anymore.</i>

05:57.313 --> 05:58.563
If you did,

06:00.073 --> 06:01.823
nice save.

06:04.403 --> 06:06.453
No, you're wrong!

06:06.533 --> 06:09.583
I just thought I'd squeeze
in training on the way home!

06:10.623 --> 06:12.913
You know, I think I'll go on another run!

06:16.923 --> 06:20.173
<i>This living situation</i>
<i>is just messing with my head.</i>

06:20.673 --> 06:23.213
<i>I'm no match for him anyway.</i>

06:23.923 --> 06:27.893
<i>It doesn't matter who she's with,</i>
<i>or what they call her.</i>

06:27.973 --> 06:30.433
<i>If I start worrying about that,</i>
<i>I'll go crazy.</i>

06:30.513 --> 06:33.353
<i>Right now, I need to focus</i>
<i>on the intradepartmental matches.</i>

06:34.603 --> 06:38.353
<i>But hearing him call her "Chii"</i>
<i>might still get to me.</i>

06:40.943 --> 06:42.863
In! Game! Inomata!

06:43.533 --> 06:46.203
You won again? You're on a roll.

06:46.283 --> 06:47.363
Yeah.

06:48.033 --> 06:50.833
But I've basically only faced first-years.

06:50.913 --> 06:53.583
I haven't played any starters yet.

06:54.203 --> 06:55.623
Besides…

06:55.713 --> 06:58.623
It looks like Haryu Senpai
won every match.

06:59.583 --> 07:01.093
That reminds me.

07:01.173 --> 07:04.133
What was the deal
with Chinatsu Senpai and Haryu Senpai?

07:04.213 --> 07:05.383
About that…

07:06.223 --> 07:08.263
It doesn't matter what's between them,

07:08.343 --> 07:10.803
I won't let it get to me anymore!

07:10.893 --> 07:12.723
Sounds like you already failed.

07:12.813 --> 07:14.143
Oh, well.

07:17.233 --> 07:20.903
I feel weird being a senpai.

07:21.653 --> 07:24.113
-I don't care!
-Then why are you turning around?

07:24.943 --> 07:27.403
The badminton team
is running scrimmages, right?

07:27.493 --> 07:29.953
Yeah, and he's won all his matches.

07:30.033 --> 07:31.323
Only so far.

07:31.413 --> 07:32.783
So modest.

07:32.873 --> 07:34.703
We still have more games.

07:34.793 --> 07:35.873
It's just the start.

07:35.953 --> 07:37.663
I see. Good luck.

07:37.753 --> 07:39.373
Thanks.

07:39.463 --> 07:40.883
I don't care.

07:40.963 --> 07:43.423
You two have been awful chummy lately.

07:44.213 --> 07:46.463
You've been hanging out with Kano a lot.

07:46.553 --> 07:48.673
We do sit next to each other in class.

07:48.763 --> 07:50.763
Yeah? Is that all?

07:50.843 --> 07:52.093
-That's all.
-He's melting.

07:52.183 --> 07:54.183
We're both busy with sports.

07:54.263 --> 07:55.433
But…

07:56.313 --> 07:59.443
there's something nice
about seeing a girl work hard.

07:59.523 --> 08:02.023
-Wait, are you saying…?
-No.

08:04.523 --> 08:05.693
<i>Oh, boy.</i>

08:05.783 --> 08:07.903
<i>This is some bad timing.</i>

08:10.533 --> 08:12.453
Love-all. Play.

08:16.543 --> 08:17.953
In. Five-one.

08:18.043 --> 08:20.373
Haryu's dictating the pace.

08:20.463 --> 08:22.253
He doesn't let you attack.

08:22.333 --> 08:23.963
He's like a brick wall.

08:24.673 --> 08:28.303
Is he okay? This looks really one-sided.

08:28.383 --> 08:29.473
What's he gonna do?

08:29.553 --> 08:31.183
They're on different levels.

08:31.263 --> 08:33.803
And he has a whole year
of experience over him.

08:36.563 --> 08:37.723
<i>This has to be tough.</i>

08:38.893 --> 08:41.483
<i>Facing an opponent</i>
<i>who's close to his crush.</i>

08:41.563 --> 08:44.233
<i>Someone who might even like her too.</i>

08:45.523 --> 08:48.033
<i>Plus, he's closer to achieving his goals.</i>

08:48.783 --> 08:51.323
<i>With such a clear display of dominance,</i>

08:51.403 --> 08:54.123
<i>it's like he's being told</i>
<i>to give up on both.</i>

08:59.663 --> 09:01.833
-Natsu!
-Coming!

09:05.503 --> 09:06.843
In. Eleven-four.

09:06.923 --> 09:09.423
Looks like another win for Haryu.

09:09.513 --> 09:12.343
Man, he's strong.
Can someone beat him already?

09:14.763 --> 09:17.143
You okay? Drink some water.

09:17.223 --> 09:18.183
Hey.

09:19.643 --> 09:21.603
Wasn't I super close on that last one?

09:22.853 --> 09:24.943
I was slow getting back in position.

09:25.613 --> 09:27.863
I have trouble staying active.

09:27.943 --> 09:29.233
You seem charged up.

09:30.443 --> 09:31.863
I got my run in before this.

09:31.943 --> 09:33.743
Not that.

09:33.823 --> 09:35.663
I thought you'd be more bothered.

09:35.743 --> 09:37.123
Like, about what happened earlier.

09:41.333 --> 09:45.213
I do have to thank Chinatsu Senpai
for motivating me even more.

09:46.333 --> 09:50.883
I never want to use her
as an excuse for when I lose.

09:52.013 --> 09:55.383
It's not like I play badminton
only for her sake.

09:56.183 --> 09:57.433
Deep down,

09:58.223 --> 09:59.473
I just love badminton.

10:00.683 --> 10:01.973
Taiki. Clock's ticking.

10:02.063 --> 10:02.893
Coming!

10:03.683 --> 10:05.193
Still, I need to adjust.

10:18.703 --> 10:20.203
<i>I decided I'm going for it.</i>

10:20.833 --> 10:22.623
<i>I have to keep pushing forward.</i>

10:25.673 --> 10:26.833
<i>One step at a time.</i>

10:27.423 --> 10:29.213
Nice return.

10:29.293 --> 10:30.463
But he hit it back.

10:30.543 --> 10:31.803
Hang in there, Taiki!

10:31.883 --> 10:32.713
<i>One step.</i>

10:34.343 --> 10:35.223
It's up.

10:45.063 --> 10:46.563
Close one.

10:46.643 --> 10:48.233
You started rallying.

10:48.903 --> 10:50.983
But you should be happy.

10:51.613 --> 10:53.533
You may have lost to Haryu Senpai,

10:53.613 --> 10:55.863
but that performance
will get you on the team.

10:59.373 --> 11:01.203
You don't look happy.

11:01.283 --> 11:02.873
I mean, I lost.

11:03.663 --> 11:06.623
And those points I got
in the second half felt scrappy.

11:07.163 --> 11:10.383
He dictated the pace
throughout the whole match.

11:10.463 --> 11:11.293
BURNABLE TRASH

11:11.383 --> 11:13.883
I knew that Haryu Senpai was tough.

11:15.423 --> 11:17.173
But I'm still frustrated I lost.

11:19.473 --> 11:21.393
You hear that?

11:21.473 --> 11:23.143
That little punk.

11:23.223 --> 11:25.853
I'm the one who's frustrated.

11:25.933 --> 11:27.853
Why? You won.

11:29.813 --> 11:31.233
Because at the end…

11:32.823 --> 11:34.783
What? You can't leave me hanging!

11:34.863 --> 11:36.323
Come on, tell me!

11:37.863 --> 11:40.823
<i>Of course it's not just going to work out.</i>

11:40.913 --> 11:42.743
<i>I was facing Haryu Senpai after all.</i>

11:43.373 --> 11:48.043
<i>He's got me beat</i>
<i>in technique, speed, and power.</i>

11:48.123 --> 11:50.583
<i>I need to play more aggressively.</i>

11:51.333 --> 11:53.793
<i>And read my opponent for better placement.</i>

11:53.883 --> 11:55.753
<i>I have to smash any easy shots.</i>

11:56.593 --> 11:59.133
<i>I need to build more experience</i>
<i>to pull that off.</i>

11:59.763 --> 12:01.803
<i>I'm not practicing enough at all.</i>

12:01.893 --> 12:02.893
Taiki!

12:04.813 --> 12:05.813
Follow me!

12:05.893 --> 12:06.893
Chinatsu Senpai?

12:06.973 --> 12:09.313
The sun will set soon. Come on, hurry up!

12:09.393 --> 12:11.903
Wait, where are we going?

12:11.983 --> 12:13.153
Someplace nice!

12:16.363 --> 12:19.453
I mean, I guess it's nice.

12:19.533 --> 12:21.033
But why the park?

12:21.743 --> 12:23.203
Well…

12:23.283 --> 12:26.453
Ta-da! I borrowed these.

12:27.833 --> 12:29.963
Why did you borrow badminton rackets?

12:30.583 --> 12:32.583
You said we should play sometime.

12:34.173 --> 12:35.923
<i>She remembered!</i>

12:36.423 --> 12:40.843
Besides, I figured you'd want
to practice some more.

12:40.933 --> 12:44.853
I'm usually most motivated
right after a game.

12:44.933 --> 12:47.353
I thought you might be the same.

12:48.023 --> 12:51.773
<i>Having someone</i>
<i>who understands how you feel</i>

12:52.483 --> 12:53.853
<i>is really nice.</i>

12:54.363 --> 12:55.363
Ready?

12:59.903 --> 13:01.243
You can't even hit it?

13:01.323 --> 13:03.613
No, I'm just not good at serves!

13:04.823 --> 13:07.243
You're moving your left hand too much.

13:07.333 --> 13:10.453
The left hand just drops it
and the racket does the rest.

13:15.133 --> 13:17.093
That was perfect advice!

13:17.173 --> 13:18.553
You're acting too surprised.

13:18.633 --> 13:22.173
But this will just be practice for me.

13:22.263 --> 13:23.763
You should do smashes.

13:23.843 --> 13:25.053
It's fine.

13:25.143 --> 13:26.683
I hit enough during the match.

13:26.763 --> 13:30.183
I was watching your match against Haryu.

13:31.143 --> 13:33.103
Please erase that from your memory.

13:33.193 --> 13:34.193
Why?

13:34.273 --> 13:36.233
Because it's embarrassing.

13:36.313 --> 13:37.443
Since I lost.

13:37.523 --> 13:38.863
It's not embarrassing.

13:38.943 --> 13:41.573
You started landing
those smashes towards the end.

13:41.653 --> 13:42.703
Yeah, but…

13:43.493 --> 13:46.703
<i>Besides, at the interval</i>
<i>of the second game,</i>

13:46.783 --> 13:48.493
<i>it was eleven-four.</i>

13:48.583 --> 13:53.083
And in the time it took him
to score another 10 points to get to 21,

13:53.163 --> 13:55.543
you scored 11 points.

13:56.133 --> 13:56.963
What?

13:59.673 --> 14:01.553
But a loss is a loss!

14:02.343 --> 14:05.513
He totally outplayed me in the first half.

14:05.593 --> 14:07.643
It doesn't matter how much
I scored the second half.

14:07.723 --> 14:08.803
I still lost.

14:13.733 --> 14:15.443
What are you laughing at?

14:15.523 --> 14:16.563
Sorry.

14:17.233 --> 14:19.823
You really hate losing, don't you?

14:19.903 --> 14:21.693
Don't swing with your upper body!

14:21.783 --> 14:22.863
Use your legs!

14:22.943 --> 14:23.903
Yes, sir!

14:24.653 --> 14:26.613
<i>Whenever someone gives you instructions,</i>

14:26.703 --> 14:29.333
<i>you work on it</i>
<i>all throughout morning practice.</i>

14:29.993 --> 14:34.083
Even during your match against Haryu,
you never gave up.

14:34.163 --> 14:36.833
That's why you scored in the second half.

14:37.833 --> 14:39.343
So don't worry.

14:41.383 --> 14:44.053
You'll be fine!

14:45.763 --> 14:47.593
<i>Being so untalented,</i>

14:47.683 --> 14:51.853
<i>it's hard for me to believe in myself.</i>

14:53.643 --> 14:54.603
I'll win next time.

14:55.683 --> 14:56.693
That's the spirit!

14:58.103 --> 15:02.613
<i>But I can easily believe</i>
<i>anything the person I like says.</i>

15:05.693 --> 15:06.863
YUKIKO

15:08.573 --> 15:10.033
It's from Yukiko.

15:10.123 --> 15:10.993
My mom?

15:11.083 --> 15:13.163
She's asking what time we'll be home.

15:14.333 --> 15:15.333
<i>"Chii"?</i>

15:15.833 --> 15:18.083
<i>Is that from Haryu Senpai?</i>

15:18.173 --> 15:20.253
<i>Don't tell me he gave that to her.</i>

15:20.883 --> 15:22.093
Oh, this?

15:22.173 --> 15:24.173
They're from my classmates.

15:24.883 --> 15:27.173
They call me "Chii" in class.

15:28.633 --> 15:31.933
<i>So it wasn't a pet name</i>
<i>only Haryu Senpai uses.</i>

15:34.013 --> 15:37.183
<i>Chinatsu Senpai has always been</i>
<i>so approachable.</i>

15:37.273 --> 15:40.273
<i>Maybe she really isn't interested</i>
<i>in any kind of romance right now.</i>

15:41.653 --> 15:43.403
Ready to go?

15:43.483 --> 15:44.983
Go on ahead without me.

15:46.073 --> 15:48.453
There will be a lot of people around…

15:49.363 --> 15:52.373
and while it might not bother you at all,

15:52.453 --> 15:56.163
it's a little embarrassing to walk back
to the same house with a girl.

15:57.413 --> 15:59.253
I'll do a few more practice swings.

16:08.223 --> 16:11.473
<i>"It might not bother you," huh?</i>

16:14.303 --> 16:16.433
<i>So that's how it seems to him.</i>

16:21.233 --> 16:23.153
EIMEI PRIVATE HIGH SCHOOL

16:23.903 --> 16:25.653
What? Why?

16:26.443 --> 16:28.903
DOUBLES
HARYU AND INOMATA

16:29.653 --> 16:32.413
I'm playing doubles with Haryu Senpai?

16:33.123 --> 16:36.663
But I'm trying to take him down.

16:36.743 --> 16:38.003
Yeah.

16:38.083 --> 16:40.913
Going to nationals
with your romantic rival sounds awkward.

16:42.623 --> 16:45.633
Even disregarding the fact
I like Chinatsu Senpai, I--

16:45.713 --> 16:46.923
Taiki.

16:47.633 --> 16:48.923
Let's practice.

16:49.013 --> 16:50.423
Okay.

16:51.343 --> 16:54.933
You'll be following a regimen
I come up with for the time being.

16:55.013 --> 16:56.603
<i>Thank goodness.</i>

16:56.683 --> 16:58.973
<i>It doesn't seem like he overheard that.</i>

16:59.063 --> 16:59.933
So…

17:01.273 --> 17:03.943
you like Chinatsu Kano, huh?

17:06.983 --> 17:08.573
How interesting.

17:09.533 --> 17:13.453
<i>This is the worst start</i>
<i>a doubles pair can have!</i>

17:15.823 --> 17:16.833
Way too slow!

17:16.913 --> 17:18.453
You're lagging!

17:18.543 --> 17:19.453
Okay!

17:19.543 --> 17:21.623
Haryu is one tough dude.

17:21.713 --> 17:25.633
They did running, circuit training,
and footwork exercises before this.

17:25.713 --> 17:27.543
I'd be puking by now.

17:30.633 --> 17:31.973
You getting tired yet?

17:32.673 --> 17:34.093
Tell me if you need a break.

17:34.183 --> 17:36.013
I can't have you passing out.

17:36.103 --> 17:41.483
But… I've never seen Chii
whine about being too tired.

17:42.313 --> 17:46.863
I bet any guy she ends up dating
will be cool and tough like her.

17:48.323 --> 17:50.573
What shall we do next?

17:50.653 --> 17:52.783
Rotation practice. Five two-minute reps.

18:00.663 --> 18:02.873
You look like a mushroom
growing from the desk.

18:02.963 --> 18:04.753
And not a nutritious one.

18:04.833 --> 18:06.253
Shut up.

18:07.253 --> 18:12.263
<i>He's been physically working me</i>
<i>to death over the last week.</i>

18:12.343 --> 18:16.513
The classroom
is the only place I can rest.

18:16.593 --> 18:18.513
-What about home?
-I'm surprised.

18:19.513 --> 18:22.523
I didn't think Haryu Senpai
would work with you so much.

18:22.603 --> 18:25.233
He didn't seem like the team player type.

18:26.443 --> 18:28.233
So this Haryu Senpai

18:28.313 --> 18:31.573
is the guy who was walking home
with Chinatsu Senpai, right?

18:31.653 --> 18:33.033
So maybe he's like…

18:33.993 --> 18:36.283
"Don't make a move on my girl,"

18:36.363 --> 18:37.913
and messing with you.

18:38.623 --> 18:39.533
You're beneath me.

18:39.623 --> 18:42.623
<i>He's trying to make you give up</i>
<i>by putting you in your place.</i>

18:44.913 --> 18:47.793
The truth is, I do feel inferior to him.

18:47.883 --> 18:51.843
<i>Even though we do the same regimen,</i>
<i>his speed never slows down,</i>

18:51.923 --> 18:53.593
<i>and his shots are so accurate.</i>

18:54.883 --> 18:59.303
I bet badminton is fun when you have
such a great physical foundation.

18:59.393 --> 19:00.723
Badminton freak.

19:00.803 --> 19:01.723
Masochist.

19:01.813 --> 19:03.353
Those are insults.

19:10.363 --> 19:11.573
Taiki.

19:11.653 --> 19:13.073
Why did you hit a cross shot there?

19:13.903 --> 19:15.943
The opponent was setting up a backhand.

19:16.033 --> 19:18.703
A straight shot would've had
more speed too.

19:18.783 --> 19:21.283
You should've gone for it,
even in an awkward position.

19:22.663 --> 19:25.703
If you only settle for the easy shots,
you'll never improve.

19:25.793 --> 19:26.833
Right!

19:36.883 --> 19:39.593
I survived another day.

19:39.683 --> 19:40.803
Is this a battlefield?

19:42.103 --> 19:43.723
I need a drink.

19:43.813 --> 19:45.023
Of juice, right?

19:46.603 --> 19:47.603
Taiki!

19:48.943 --> 19:49.943
Good work today.

19:50.023 --> 19:51.193
You too!

19:52.153 --> 19:53.693
<i>Those are second-year students.</i>

19:53.773 --> 19:55.613
<i>And Chinatsu Senpai.</i>

20:04.953 --> 20:07.703
I actually got paired up
to play doubles with this guy.

20:08.873 --> 20:11.003
<i>You're talking about me here?</i>

20:11.083 --> 20:14.923
He's still a first-year
and absolutely garbage.

20:15.003 --> 20:17.213
He's still got so many holes in his game.

20:18.013 --> 20:21.973
He sucks at shot selection
and blunders when he rushes in to attack.

20:22.643 --> 20:24.813
<i>I can't deny any of it because it's true.</i>

20:24.893 --> 20:25.853
But…

20:26.393 --> 20:28.103
I think Taiki's going to be good.

20:30.193 --> 20:34.613
This kid doesn't fold at all,
no matter how much I bully him.

20:34.693 --> 20:39.363
Even when I subject him to stuff
that I think is a little too much,

20:39.443 --> 20:41.283
he actually finishes all of it.

20:41.363 --> 20:42.363
<i>What?</i>

20:42.453 --> 20:44.833
You're such a sadist.

20:44.913 --> 20:47.583
You're always tough
on people you believe in.

20:49.203 --> 20:51.083
-That's not true.
<i>-I'm glad.</i>

20:51.163 --> 20:53.463
<i>At least he sees some potential in me.</i>

20:53.543 --> 20:55.883
You ignore people you don't care about.

20:56.673 --> 20:58.673
You're doing great.

20:59.463 --> 21:02.883
Just the other day, you know
that first-year I'm looking after?

21:05.473 --> 21:09.733
<i>It's nice being acknowledged</i>
<i>by the older students.</i>

21:11.893 --> 21:14.523
I had a message from my girlfriend.

21:14.603 --> 21:16.153
Girlfriend, huh?

21:17.733 --> 21:20.193
You have a girlfriend?

21:20.863 --> 21:23.663
-Yeah, since last week.
-Last week?

21:25.283 --> 21:29.623
I liked her for a long time,
but she's in show business.

21:30.293 --> 21:34.043
I was just about to give up
when she asked me out.

21:35.793 --> 21:37.173
She's so cool.

21:37.843 --> 21:41.763
She's been working hard
chasing her dream since she was little.

21:43.343 --> 21:45.803
Chii, thanks for the other day.

21:45.893 --> 21:48.683
I would've felt awkward
going to buy makeup on my own.

21:48.763 --> 21:50.143
Don't mention it.

21:51.563 --> 21:54.943
<i>He was just toying with me</i>
<i>this whole time!</i>

21:56.313 --> 21:59.443
Looks like it'll be a while
before you get a girlfriend.

22:02.283 --> 22:04.653
<i>Nobody asked you!</i>

23:30.953 --> 23:35.953
