00:01.627 --> 00:03.796
<i>It's been about a month
since Chinatsu Senpai</i>

00:03.880 --> 00:05.465
<i>started living with us.</i>

00:13.806 --> 00:14.724
Good morning.

00:16.309 --> 00:20.188
<i>My eyes have gotten used
to her dazzling aura.</i>

00:21.606 --> 00:24.233
I washed your gym uniform,
so don't forget to take it.

00:24.317 --> 00:27.195
<i>I used to hit the snooze button
about five times,</i>

00:27.278 --> 00:29.822
<i>but lately, I've been stopping
after about two.</i>

00:37.288 --> 00:38.915
<i>Having a crush</i>

00:39.749 --> 00:41.000
<i>is so wonderful!</i>

00:47.256 --> 00:50.510
BLUE BOX

02:07.044 --> 02:12.967
BLUE BOX

02:13.050 --> 02:15.970
EPISODE 4
IF HE WINS

02:18.764 --> 02:20.600
Thank you for the meal.

02:20.683 --> 02:21.976
You have your match tomorrow.

02:22.059 --> 02:23.519
Yup!

02:23.603 --> 02:25.188
You're in a good mood.

02:25.271 --> 02:28.274
I guess I'm just fulfilled every day.

02:28.357 --> 02:30.401
You seem to have settled down quickly.

02:31.819 --> 02:35.156
You know, a boy and a girl,
living under the same roof,

02:35.239 --> 02:37.491
I'm surprised nothing's happened so far.

02:37.575 --> 02:38.993
That's because...

02:41.078 --> 02:42.496
CHINATSU KANO
SORRY TO BOTHER YOU!

02:42.580 --> 02:44.498
Chinatsu Senpai!

02:44.582 --> 02:46.500
DID YOU TAKE MY UNIFORM BY ACCIDENT?

02:48.586 --> 02:50.004
KANO

02:53.090 --> 02:54.759
I HAVE GYM FIFTH PERIOD...

02:55.468 --> 02:56.761
I have to take this to her!

02:58.179 --> 02:59.221
I'LL BRING IT TO YOU!

02:59.305 --> 03:00.514
WHERE SHOULD WE MEET?

03:00.598 --> 03:02.975
SOMEWHERE SECLUDED WOULD BE BEST, RIGHT?

03:03.059 --> 03:05.102
HOW ABOUT THE AV ROOM?

03:05.186 --> 03:06.103
ROGER THAT

03:06.187 --> 03:08.689
<i>I was in such a rush this morning.</i>

03:08.773 --> 03:11.442
<i>We can't have anyone see us.</i>

03:11.525 --> 03:13.319
<i>I need to do this quickly.</i>

03:13.402 --> 03:14.695
Yo, Taiki.

03:17.698 --> 03:19.116
Why are you avoiding me?

03:19.200 --> 03:21.243
It's not what you think.

03:21.327 --> 03:22.995
This is perfect.

03:23.079 --> 03:24.372
Come practice with me.

03:24.455 --> 03:27.750
Sorry! I'll make it up after school!

03:27.833 --> 03:29.293
He ran away.

03:29.961 --> 03:31.879
AV ROOM

03:34.006 --> 03:36.217
<i>This room is usually empty.</i>

03:37.718 --> 03:38.636
Taiki.

03:39.262 --> 03:41.138
Hina! What are you doing here?

03:41.222 --> 03:42.390
RHYTHMIC GYMNASTICS MEETING

03:42.473 --> 03:44.892
We're holding a rhythmic gymnastics
team meeting.

03:44.976 --> 03:46.143
<i>What?</i>

03:46.769 --> 03:47.895
You need something?

03:47.979 --> 03:49.480
Not particularly.

03:52.733 --> 03:54.652
- You dropped--
- Stop!

03:54.735 --> 03:56.153
KANO

03:56.237 --> 03:58.656
Listen, don't touch that.

03:58.739 --> 04:00.157
Why not?

04:00.241 --> 04:01.450
Hey.

04:01.534 --> 04:02.660
Hey, hey.

04:04.245 --> 04:06.622
Well, to be honest,

04:06.706 --> 04:09.417
I haven't washed that since last summer.

04:11.335 --> 04:13.421
- Get out of here.
- Okay.

04:15.214 --> 04:16.424
Hold on, Taiki.

04:17.341 --> 04:20.011
You were wearing your gym uniform
in gym class.

04:20.678 --> 04:23.014
If you haven't washed it
since junior high...

04:23.514 --> 04:26.684
The truth is, I've been wearing it
without ever washing it.

04:28.144 --> 04:29.562
Be gone.

04:29.645 --> 04:30.688
Okay.

04:31.355 --> 04:32.940
<i>Honestly.</i>

04:34.233 --> 04:36.485
<i>Why are there people everywhere?</i>

04:37.987 --> 04:40.781
<i>At this rate, Chinatsu Senpai
will have to wear my uniform.</i>

04:40.865 --> 04:41.866
INOMATA

04:42.700 --> 04:44.035
<i>There's no time left.</i>

04:44.118 --> 04:45.119
CHINATSU KANO
NEW MESSAGE

04:46.454 --> 04:49.373
"Come to the west side of the roof"?

04:49.457 --> 04:51.125
NO TRESPASSING

05:02.595 --> 05:03.763
You're here.

05:04.680 --> 05:07.266
Thank goodness we were able to meet up.

05:07.350 --> 05:09.602
How do you have a key to the roof?

05:09.685 --> 05:11.937
I borrowed it from my friend
in the astronomy club.

05:13.064 --> 05:14.273
Here.

05:14.357 --> 05:16.734
Thank you. You're a lifesaver.

05:17.610 --> 05:20.279
<i>So this is what Chinatsu Senpai
is like at school.</i>

05:22.615 --> 05:23.783
It's nothing.

05:25.826 --> 05:29.580
Crap! You have to hurry,
or you'll be late!

05:29.663 --> 05:31.791
What are you doing?

05:31.874 --> 05:34.919
I thought I'd change here
because there's no time.

05:35.002 --> 05:36.045
Here?

05:36.128 --> 05:37.755
Don't worry.

05:37.838 --> 05:40.549
Girls in athletics learn
to change anywhere.

05:40.633 --> 05:42.176
We're trained to.

05:42.259 --> 05:44.345
<i>That's not the issue!</i>

05:45.137 --> 05:47.556
I'll make sure nobody comes up here.

05:47.640 --> 05:48.557
Sorry.

05:49.350 --> 05:52.436
<i>I've said this before,
but she's way too defenseless.</i>

05:52.520 --> 05:56.107
<i>Does she not understand how cute she is?</i>

05:58.651 --> 06:00.152
<i>Crap!</i>

06:00.236 --> 06:03.906
<i>These sounds are making me imagine things!</i>

06:04.406 --> 06:06.826
- For real?
- So then...

06:15.960 --> 06:16.836
All done.

06:17.711 --> 06:18.671
You okay?

06:18.754 --> 06:21.632
Ten more seconds,
and I would've been a goner.

06:23.008 --> 06:24.009
Ready to go?

06:24.093 --> 06:25.886
You go on ahead.

06:25.970 --> 06:26.971
Okay.

06:29.348 --> 06:30.599
Thanks.

06:34.103 --> 06:36.939
<i>Getting changed right in front of me...</i>

06:38.399 --> 06:41.402
<i>That must mean
she doesn't view me as a guy.</i>

06:44.155 --> 06:47.366
<i>I need to work on that.</i>

06:48.117 --> 06:49.160
Good practice.

06:49.243 --> 06:50.953
Did someone grab the shuttlecocks?

06:51.036 --> 06:53.122
What time tomorrow?

06:53.747 --> 06:54.748
Taiki!

06:56.208 --> 06:58.252
You've got regional prelims tomorrow?

06:59.128 --> 07:02.548
Make sure you don't get all worked up
and embarrass yourself.

07:02.631 --> 07:04.300
Mind your business!

07:05.926 --> 07:08.262
I'll make sure Kyo films it.

07:09.597 --> 07:11.348
So I've been wondering...

07:11.432 --> 07:12.433
Not even a little.

07:12.516 --> 07:13.517
That right?

07:14.310 --> 07:17.104
She's right, though. Don't get worked up.

07:17.188 --> 07:20.024
You have me for doubles,
so that's a guaranteed win.

07:20.107 --> 07:22.276
<i>He's so confident!</i>

07:22.359 --> 07:26.197
You just need to finish in the top 16
in the singles next week.

07:26.280 --> 07:27.740
I'll be fine!

07:27.823 --> 07:29.950
I'm a lot better than before.

07:30.034 --> 07:31.952
I'll even make it
to the top eight or four.

07:32.578 --> 07:35.539
Well, just so you know,
you forgot your racket bag.

07:37.166 --> 07:38.959
Why didn't you mention it earlier?

07:39.043 --> 07:40.628
I wondered when you'd notice.

07:40.711 --> 07:42.004
I'll be right back!

07:45.132 --> 07:47.885
Taiki! Make sure you pack your uniform!

07:47.968 --> 07:51.472
And don't forget your shoes and racket!

07:51.555 --> 07:52.640
They're already packed.

07:52.723 --> 07:58.145
<i>Seeing Mom like this,
I understand where I get it from.</i>

07:58.229 --> 08:00.147
How many towels do you need? Eight?

08:00.231 --> 08:01.732
I don't need any!

08:02.358 --> 08:04.193
I've already packed everything I need.

08:04.276 --> 08:05.152
Really?

08:12.701 --> 08:14.161
Taiki!

08:15.496 --> 08:17.498
- Laundry!
- Gimme a towel!

08:17.581 --> 08:18.958
Here!

08:19.041 --> 08:20.417
Hurry!

08:22.127 --> 08:24.004
<i>Get it together.</i>

08:24.088 --> 08:27.925
<i>I know it's your first high school match,
but it's not your first rodeo.</i>

08:28.509 --> 08:30.261
<i>Why are you so nervous?</i>

08:30.344 --> 08:31.679
<i>Calm down.</i>

08:31.762 --> 08:34.932
<i>Don't go out there and lose
because of some stupid mistake.</i>

08:35.766 --> 08:39.687
<i>There's nothing to feel pressured about.</i>

08:45.734 --> 08:47.820
<i>Exercise to clear the mind!</i>

08:47.903 --> 08:49.446
<i>You're going to nationals, right?</i>

08:49.530 --> 08:50.698
<i>Get it together!</i>

08:52.950 --> 08:54.577
You're practicing this late?

08:56.203 --> 08:57.746
Chinatsu Senpai.

08:59.873 --> 09:02.459
I decided to do some practice swings
to move my body.

09:03.836 --> 09:04.837
Taiki.

09:04.920 --> 09:06.463
Your shirt's inside out.

09:10.259 --> 09:12.720
<i>Okay, I might not be fine.</i>

09:22.271 --> 09:23.480
Sorry!

09:25.149 --> 09:28.944
<i>She didn't seem to care
about changing in front of me.</i>

09:29.486 --> 09:31.488
<i>But this she minds.</i>

09:32.364 --> 09:33.490
Taiki.

09:33.574 --> 09:34.742
Yes?

09:34.825 --> 09:36.994
I didn't know you had a six-pack.

09:37.703 --> 09:38.746
<i>That's what it was?</i>

09:39.538 --> 09:41.915
I guess you do work out a lot.

09:42.625 --> 09:43.500
That reminds me.

09:43.584 --> 09:46.754
Haryu said your body was coming along.

09:48.172 --> 09:51.967
Just because I got a little muscle
doesn't make me better at badminton.

09:54.261 --> 09:55.804
Wow, talk about humble.

10:00.184 --> 10:01.101
Taiki.

10:02.895 --> 10:04.146
What is it?

10:06.106 --> 10:07.399
<i>Hyakue.</i>

10:08.901 --> 10:10.152
What?

10:10.235 --> 10:12.279
It's a pressure point on your head.

10:12.363 --> 10:14.156
It can help you relax.

10:14.740 --> 10:17.326
There's no point in running around
the day before.

10:17.409 --> 10:19.578
You've already put in the hard work.

10:20.454 --> 10:24.333
So stop overthinking things
and go show them what you can do.

10:25.501 --> 10:26.543
Got it?

10:27.169 --> 10:28.128
Yeah.

10:29.546 --> 10:31.090
<i>Okay, this pressure point</i>

10:32.049 --> 10:33.425
<i>really works.</i>

10:35.386 --> 10:36.428
Besides,

10:38.013 --> 10:41.350
you still have next year
and the year after.

10:42.101 --> 10:43.352
<i>The year after?</i>

10:43.936 --> 10:45.813
<i>But that's after you graduate.</i>

10:47.314 --> 10:49.817
You'll be even stronger than you are now.

10:49.900 --> 10:51.318
That's not good enough for me.

11:04.665 --> 11:05.624
Good night.

11:17.553 --> 11:18.679
Okay!

11:19.263 --> 11:20.472
Let's go!

11:21.390 --> 11:22.975
Looks like you got over your nerves.

11:24.309 --> 11:25.978
I don't have time to be nervous.

11:28.313 --> 11:30.732
Well, good for you.

11:31.525 --> 11:34.987
<i>The doubles matches are about to begin.</i>

11:35.070 --> 11:35.988
ROUND 1

11:36.071 --> 11:37.239
Out!

11:37.322 --> 11:38.740
ROUND 3

11:38.824 --> 11:40.742
ADVANCED TO BEST 16

11:40.826 --> 11:42.578
- Huh?
- What?

11:42.661 --> 11:44.788
I mean, it's going so smoothly.

11:44.872 --> 11:47.416
Like we're not gonna
make it out of regional prelims.

11:47.499 --> 11:48.542
You have me, dummy.

11:49.126 --> 11:51.003
Please sign the match sheet.

11:52.004 --> 11:56.008
Although it's painfully clear
what you need to work on.

11:57.217 --> 11:59.636
<i>He's right. These were real games</i>

11:59.720 --> 12:03.682
<i>and there were so many instances
where he covered me.</i>

12:09.188 --> 12:10.522
<i>He's so loud.</i>

12:10.606 --> 12:12.774
<i>Such a bold playstyle too.</i>

12:15.152 --> 12:17.029
<i>Or so I thought, but he's calculated.</i>

12:17.779 --> 12:19.531
One more down.

12:20.866 --> 12:22.534
- Let's go.
- Okay.

12:23.368 --> 12:24.495
Harry Senpai?

12:26.288 --> 12:30.834
If it isn't the former KTS Junior member
Kengo Haryu.

12:30.918 --> 12:32.169
Sorry, wrong person.

12:32.252 --> 12:33.921
You crook!

12:36.256 --> 12:37.799
Do you know him?

12:37.883 --> 12:40.677
He used to be my doubles partner
in my junior days.

12:41.470 --> 12:44.181
Meet Shimotomi High's Shoichiro Kishi.

12:44.264 --> 12:46.975
He called you a crook.

12:47.059 --> 12:49.228
I have no idea why.

12:49.311 --> 12:51.939
That's because Harry Senpai
broke his promise.

12:52.022 --> 12:56.693
You said you'd give me
Chinatsu Kano's number!

12:56.777 --> 12:57.945
<i>What?</i>

12:58.028 --> 13:00.739
I said if you beat me.

13:00.822 --> 13:02.324
But I did.

13:02.407 --> 13:04.117
In an official match.

13:04.201 --> 13:07.371
Do you know Chinatsu Senpai?

13:08.080 --> 13:08.956
Yeah.

13:09.039 --> 13:13.710
How could I forget that fateful day
last year at Eimei's school festival?

13:13.794 --> 13:15.963
SCHOOL FESTIVAL

13:17.256 --> 13:18.215
My wallet's gone!

13:18.298 --> 13:20.509
It was a limited edition!

13:20.592 --> 13:21.426
Excuse me!

13:32.563 --> 13:35.524
It was like my favorite idol
popped out of my wallet.

13:35.607 --> 13:36.775
What anime is that?

13:36.858 --> 13:38.068
Don't humor him.

13:39.278 --> 13:42.656
After that, I heard she was friends
with Harry Senpai,

13:42.739 --> 13:44.783
so I asked for an introduction.

13:44.866 --> 13:46.910
But he never came through.

13:46.994 --> 13:47.995
Isn't he awful?

13:48.078 --> 13:50.163
You agree with me, right?

13:50.247 --> 13:52.207
<i>Nice job, Haryu Senpai.</i>

13:52.791 --> 13:55.419
Which is why today,
after I crush you in the doubles,

13:55.502 --> 13:57.796
you'd better introduce me to her!

13:58.797 --> 13:59.840
Kishi.

14:00.340 --> 14:04.261
I don't feel too well.

14:06.138 --> 14:07.806
I think I'm dying.

14:08.348 --> 14:10.851
Yokoyama!

14:11.351 --> 14:14.187
Lucky you already made it past
the prelims.

14:14.271 --> 14:15.272
Fine, then!

14:15.355 --> 14:17.941
We'll settle this at next week's singles!

14:18.025 --> 14:19.860
I'm not playing in that.

14:19.943 --> 14:22.946
When's your next official match, then?

14:23.030 --> 14:24.489
The prefectural qualifiers in June.

14:24.573 --> 14:25.908
June?

14:25.991 --> 14:27.826
I'll find a sub, and we can play now!

14:27.910 --> 14:29.786
- No way.
- I won't leave until you do!

14:29.870 --> 14:31.538
Okay, fine.

14:32.164 --> 14:36.043
I'll give you her number if you beat Taiki
in the singles next week.

14:37.836 --> 14:40.047
More accurately,
I'll ask her if it's okay.

14:40.130 --> 14:41.548
You can't just volunteer me!

14:41.632 --> 14:42.549
Taiki?

14:42.633 --> 14:44.343
My doubles partner over there.

14:51.642 --> 14:52.684
This is a lock!

14:54.227 --> 14:55.979
What should my first message be?

14:58.565 --> 14:59.858
Be careful.

14:59.942 --> 15:02.569
He's better than he looks.

15:05.656 --> 15:08.325
<i>What a jerk!</i>

15:10.786 --> 15:13.080
<i>How did I get roped into this?</i>

15:14.039 --> 15:18.418
<i>I don't like the idea of Kishi getting
Chinatsu Senpai's number either.</i>

15:19.544 --> 15:21.421
<i>Doesn't mean he should just volunteer me.</i>

15:21.505 --> 15:22.839
That's right.

15:22.923 --> 15:25.342
<i>That's Chinatsu Senpai's voice.</i>

15:26.134 --> 15:28.345
<i>It feels a little awkward to see her now.</i>

15:28.428 --> 15:31.890
<i>I'm sure she didn't like
my attitude yesterday.</i>

15:32.933 --> 15:36.853
<i>I'm the one so hung up on going
to nationals this year.</i>

15:36.937 --> 15:39.398
I'm so glad Taiki won.

15:39.481 --> 15:42.109
Well, he has been practicing hard.

15:42.192 --> 15:45.153
He swings his racket at home
instead of studying.

15:45.779 --> 15:47.155
So he'd better win.

15:47.739 --> 15:50.534
And I made <i>tonkatsu</i>
for him today to celebrate.

15:50.617 --> 15:52.703
It'd be awkward if he lost.

15:54.621 --> 15:57.124
Honestly, I was a little worried

15:57.207 --> 15:59.501
that he's pushing himself too hard.

16:00.252 --> 16:04.464
He's got two more years,
so what's the rush?

16:05.090 --> 16:05.924
Yes.

16:06.008 --> 16:08.760
I said that to him too.

16:08.844 --> 16:11.221
That he still has next year and the next.

16:11.304 --> 16:13.932
But then his attitude changed.
It was strange...

16:14.016 --> 16:14.933
Isn't he always?

16:15.017 --> 16:16.393
<i>Shut up.</i>

16:16.476 --> 16:18.937
No, I understand why he'd get mad.

16:19.021 --> 16:23.608
I mean, it's like I was saying
that he was free to lose this year.

16:23.692 --> 16:24.985
I only realized it after.

16:25.068 --> 16:26.194
<i>That's true.</i>

16:27.154 --> 16:30.615
<i>But I was just a little sad
about being reminded</i>

16:30.699 --> 16:32.701
<i>that I'm a year behind her.</i>

16:32.784 --> 16:36.163
It's not like you meant it that way.

16:36.246 --> 16:37.456
Of course not!

16:37.539 --> 16:39.708
Then don't worry about it.

16:40.834 --> 16:42.210
I know, but...

16:42.961 --> 16:48.717
Part of it was me realizing
how quickly this year has gone by.

16:48.800 --> 16:52.179
When I think that I only have a year left,

16:52.262 --> 16:55.724
I got a little envious of Taiki.

16:56.475 --> 16:58.769
I didn't say that to encourage him.

16:58.852 --> 17:01.730
I was just expressing my own insecurities.

17:01.813 --> 17:03.231
And I regret that.

17:04.900 --> 17:05.984
Chinatsu.

17:06.568 --> 17:08.320
You're such a nice girl.

17:09.362 --> 17:10.947
That's not...

17:11.031 --> 17:12.365
So pure!

17:13.241 --> 17:14.493
I'm back!

17:14.576 --> 17:16.495
Welcome home!

17:16.578 --> 17:18.371
Congrats.

17:18.455 --> 17:19.372
Thanks.

17:19.456 --> 17:21.500
You got a good doubles partner, huh?

17:21.583 --> 17:23.043
That's not all of it.

17:23.585 --> 17:24.503
Besides,

17:25.337 --> 17:27.172
I'll win my singles matches too!

17:27.255 --> 17:29.007
You don't have to yell.

17:31.551 --> 17:33.011
I'm going to put my stuff away.

17:33.095 --> 17:34.846
Such a busy boy.

17:35.472 --> 17:36.765
<i>If she's feeling insecure,</i>

17:37.808 --> 17:39.851
<i>that's all the more reason I can't lose.</i>

17:41.186 --> 17:45.357
Where does he get all that confidence?

17:46.358 --> 17:48.944
You honestly don't have to worry
about what you said.

17:49.027 --> 17:49.861
No.

17:51.113 --> 17:53.615
I could learn from his example.

18:01.373 --> 18:02.624
Good luck to you.

18:04.709 --> 18:05.919
Rock, paper, scissors!

18:06.002 --> 18:07.921
They're so fired up.

18:08.004 --> 18:10.132
They're only determining who serves first...

18:11.133 --> 18:14.636
Anyway, I heard you put some weird stakes
on this match.

18:14.719 --> 18:16.304
Don't worry.

18:16.388 --> 18:18.598
I won't tell him
if she doesn't want me to.

18:19.141 --> 18:22.018
<i>Chinatsu Senpai
might be too nice to say no.</i>

18:22.102 --> 18:25.230
Besides, I think Taiki's going to win.

18:25.313 --> 18:26.231
What?

18:26.314 --> 18:28.900
Obviously, since I'm the one training him.

18:29.818 --> 18:32.904
In fact, if he loses,
I'll put him through hell.

18:32.988 --> 18:33.989
Shudder!

18:34.489 --> 18:35.448
GIVE YOUR ALL

18:35.532 --> 18:37.909
<i>I'm glad I'm not his doubles partner.</i>

18:38.535 --> 18:40.453
First game. Love-all.

18:40.537 --> 18:41.413
Play!

18:50.213 --> 18:54.134
Still, his smashes are powerful.

18:54.217 --> 18:56.678
He's good at putting his weight behind it.

18:56.761 --> 18:58.346
You can't just return them.

19:05.187 --> 19:06.479
There you are.

19:08.148 --> 19:09.232
What's up, ladies?

19:09.316 --> 19:10.942
What're you doing here?

19:11.026 --> 19:13.778
We had a practice game
against Kita High next door.

19:13.862 --> 19:16.114
We came to check out the tournament.

19:16.198 --> 19:17.741
Is anyone playing?

19:17.824 --> 19:19.117
My doubles partner.

19:20.410 --> 19:22.370
Oh, him? Let's cheer him on.

19:25.457 --> 19:27.792
Is it because we came?

19:27.876 --> 19:29.586
He can't get any attacks off.

19:29.669 --> 19:30.837
Are you one of those people

19:30.921 --> 19:34.382
who think figure skaters fail their jumps
when you watch?

19:35.050 --> 19:37.177
It's probably his strategy.

19:37.260 --> 19:38.386
His strategy?

19:38.470 --> 19:41.640
It takes time to get used to the speed
of someone's smashes.

19:41.723 --> 19:43.391
Taiki's slow at repositioning.

19:43.475 --> 19:47.395
So he's playing defensive at first
to tire out his opponent.

19:48.271 --> 19:51.650
If you look carefully,
his shots are keeping his opponent moving.

19:51.733 --> 19:54.736
The kid's gotten pretty smart.

19:54.819 --> 19:57.197
<i>Match number 15...</i>

19:57.280 --> 19:58.490
I should get going.

19:58.573 --> 19:59.658
Good luck.

20:01.326 --> 20:02.702
Not going to watch up close?

20:03.745 --> 20:04.996
I'm fine here.

20:05.080 --> 20:07.499
So, actually, I know your situation.

20:07.999 --> 20:09.584
Taiki told me.

20:10.126 --> 20:12.170
He said he trusts you.

20:16.174 --> 20:18.426
<i>Okay, she is cute.</i>

20:18.510 --> 20:21.888
There's something nerve-racking
about tournaments.

20:21.972 --> 20:24.975
Each shot feels heavier.

20:27.644 --> 20:28.895
Did you know?

20:28.979 --> 20:32.482
This game has your phone number
on the line.

20:34.025 --> 20:36.945
And just so you know,
Haryu Senpai's to blame.

20:37.028 --> 20:38.446
So take it up with him.

20:39.364 --> 20:41.700
It's just that Taiki
gets nothing for winning.

20:42.367 --> 20:43.660
So,

20:43.743 --> 20:47.205
would you take him to the aquarium
or something if he wins?

20:48.832 --> 20:52.502
We can't use the gym tomorrow anyways,
so there's no practice scheduled.

20:53.086 --> 20:53.962
Besides,

20:54.713 --> 20:57.966
you're part of the reason
he's so motivated.

20:58.049 --> 21:00.844
I doubt I have that much influence on him...

21:00.927 --> 21:01.970
Yeah, you do.

21:02.637 --> 21:06.725
She stayed behind in Japan
by herself to make the nationals!

21:06.808 --> 21:09.978
She practices first thing
in the morning! So will I!

21:10.061 --> 21:12.147
He's easily swayed.

21:13.565 --> 21:16.985
He's always been stubborn.
Once he makes up his mind, that's it.

21:17.861 --> 21:22.240
But even as a friend,
I can say he's been doing well lately.

21:23.033 --> 21:26.745
The old him wouldn't have been able
to pick up those shots.

21:28.330 --> 21:29.622
I'm sure that part of it

21:30.206 --> 21:33.043
is because he has someone close
with the same goals

21:33.126 --> 21:36.755
to keep him disciplined
and motivate him to put in the effort.

21:37.714 --> 21:39.966
So, if he's able to achieve
some good results,

21:40.050 --> 21:42.761
I think he deserves some kind of reward.

21:53.271 --> 21:54.356
Yes!

21:55.273 --> 21:57.275
<i>He's fired up.</i>

21:57.359 --> 21:58.401
Okay.

22:00.195 --> 22:04.074
If Taiki wins, we'll go to the aquarium.

23:30.952 --> 23:35.957
