00:00:09,349 --> 00:00:12,139
<font size="20">I'm sure they're just friends!</font>

3
00:00:12,229 --> 00:00:14,439
<font size="20">I mean, we're walking home together too!</font>

4
00:00:15,309 --> 00:00:16,689
<font size="20">You're right!</font>

5
00:00:16,769 --> 00:00:18,939
<font size="20">Walking home together is just normal!</font>

6
00:00:19,019 --> 00:00:20,189
<font size="20">Exactly.</font>

7
00:00:21,029 --> 00:00:22,359
<font size="20">Yeah, exactly!</font>

8
00:00:25,779 --> 00:00:26,779
<font size="20">Wha?!</font>

9
00:00:27,279 --> 00:00:28,989
<font size="20">They're both superstars after all.</font>

10
00:00:29,079 --> 00:00:29,949
<font size="20">Well…</font>

11
00:00:30,699 --> 00:00:34,789
<font size="20">They're in the same class,
and they sit together.</font>

12
00:00:34,869 --> 00:00:37,459
<font size="20">Plus, they were both selected
to be class reps.</font>

15
00:00:42,419 --> 00:00:44,549
<font size="20">Don't worry about it.</font>

16
00:00:44,629 --> 00:00:48,179
<font size="20">Chinatsu Senpai said
she wanted to focus on basketball anyway.</font>

17
00:00:48,259 --> 00:00:49,599
<font size="20">Maybe.</font>

18
00:00:49,679 --> 00:00:53,349

25
00:02:35,449 --> 00:02:38,579
<font size="20">Our leading talents are
the third-years plus Haryu.</font>

26
00:02:39,329 --> 00:02:41,669

32
00:03:06,269 --> 00:03:07,609
<font size="20">-Okay, then.
-Wait!</font>

33
00:03:08,439 --> 00:03:10,609
<font size="20">When do you get off practice today?</font>

34
00:03:12,159 --> 00:03:14,119
<font size="20">I forgot my house key.</font>

35
00:03:14,199 --> 00:03:16,369
<font size="20">And your folks said they'd be out.</font>

36
00:03:17,289 --> 00:03:18,289
<font size="20">At 7:00.</font>

37
00:03:18,369 --> 00:03:22,369

<font size="20">I don't think we do.</font>

42
00:03:30,339 --> 00:03:31,379
<font size="20">I figured.</font>

43
00:03:31,469 --> 00:03:35,889
<font size="20"><i>Did he just call Chinatsu Senpai "Chii"?</i></font>

44
00:03:38,969 --> 00:03:40,889
<font size="20"><i>I'm so jealous!</i></font>

45
00:03:40,979 --> 00:03:43,899
<font size="20"><i>How close are they?</i></font>

46
00:03:43,979 --> 00:03:48,399
<font size="20"><i>Not only do I call her Chinatsu,</i>

49
00:03:51,489 --> 00:03:52,569
<font size="20">-Hey, Chii!
-Hi!</font>

50
00:03:52,649 --> 00:03:55,279
<font size="20"><i>What would I have to do to call her that?</i></font>

51
00:03:55,369 --> 00:03:57,409
<font size="20">-May I call you Chii?
-Yes.</font>

<font size="20"><i>Since they sit together?</i></font>

55
00:04:01,619 --> 00:04:05,379

61
00:04:23,599 --> 00:04:24,809
<font size="20"><i>I couldn't.</i></font>

64
00:04:30,729 --> 00:04:32,649

-Senpai!</font>

67
00:04:40,449 --> 00:04:41,659
<font size="20">What's wrong?</font>

68
00:04:41,739 --> 00:04:42,829
<font size="20">It's nothing.</font>

71
00:04:51,419 --> 00:04:53,879
<font size="20">You got home fast.</font>

72
00:04:55,679 --> 00:04:57,139
<font size="20">When I was heading home,</font>

73
00:04:57,219 --> 00:05:00,099
<font size="20">the badminton players
were just going into their clubroom.</font>

74
00:05:00,969 --> 00:05:04,349
<font size="20">You said practice ended at 7:00,

76
00:05:08,939 --> 00:05:11,019

<font size="20">-Sorry, I'll go to my room.
-Wait.</font>

00:05:20,579 --> 00:05:21,529
<font size="20">Sorry.</font>

80
00:05:22,409 --> 00:05:24,369
<font size="20">I wanted to ask you something.</font>

81
00:05:25,329 --> 00:05:27,369
<font size="20">I'll be embarrassed
if I'm wrong about this.</font>

82
00:05:28,209 --> 00:05:30,129
<font size="20">But did you run home?</font>

83
00:05:30,959 --> 00:05:34,129
<font size="20">I noticed you sweating,
so I thought maybe you did.</font>

84
00:05:34,209 --> 00:05:35,759
<font size="20">Is that because</font>

85
00:05:35,839 --> 00:05:37,969
<font size="20">I went home earlier than you</font>

86
00:05:38,049 --> 00:05:40,759

87
00:05:44,139 --> 00:05:46,389
<font size="20"><i>-How did she notice that?</i>
-I did wait at school.</font>

88
00:05:46,479 --> 00:05:50,149
<font size="20"><i>All I've done is worry about</i>

89
00:05:51,309 --> 00:05:54,279
<font size="20"><i>But knowing how carefully</i>
<i>she was watching me,</i></font>

90
00:05:54,359 --> 00:05:57,319
<font size="20"><i>makes me so happy that</i>
<i>I don't care about that anymore.</i></font>

91
00:05:57,399 --> 00:05:58,649
<font size="20">If you did,</font>

92
00:06:00,159 --> 00:06:01,909
<font size="20">nice save.</font>

93
00:06:04,489 --> 00:06:06,539
<font size="20">No, you're wrong!</font>

94
00:06:06,619 --> 00:06:09,669
<font size="20">I just thought I'd squeeze
in training on the way home!</font>

95
00:06:10,709 --> 00:06:12,999
<font size="20">You know, I think I'll go on another run!</font>

96
00:06:17,009 --> 00:06:20,259
<font size="20"><i>This living situation</i>

97
00:06:20,759 --> 00:06:23,299
<font size="20"><i>I'm no match for him anyway.</i></font>

98
00:06:24,009 --> 00:06:27,979
<font size="20"><i>It doesn't matter who she's with,</i>

99
00:06:28,059 --> 00:06:30,519
<font size="20"><i>If I start worrying about that,</i>
<i>I'll go crazy.</i></font>

100
00:06:30,599 --> 00:06:33,439
<font size="20"><i>Right now, I need to focus</i>
<i>on the intradepartmental matches.</i></font>

101
00:06:34,689 --> 00:06:38,439
<font size="20"><i>But hearing him call her "Chii"</i>

102
00:06:41,029 --> 00:06:42,949
<font size="20">In! Game! Inomata!</font>

103
00:06:43,619 --> 00:06:46,289
<font size="20">You won again? You're on a roll.</font>

104
00:06:46,369 --> 00:06:47,449
<font size="20">Yeah.</font>

105
00:06:48,119 --> 00:06:50,919
<font size="20">But I've basically only faced first-years.</font>

106
00:06:50,999 --> 00:06:53,669
<font size="20">I haven't played any starters yet.</font>

107
00:06:54,289 --> 00:06:55,709
<font size="20">Besides…</font>

108
00:06:55,799 --> 00:06:58,709
<font size="20">It looks like Haryu Senpai
won every match.</font>

109
00:06:59,669 --> 00:07:01,179
<font size="20">That reminds me.</font>

110
00:07:01,259 --> 00:07:04,219
<font size="20">What was the deal
with Chinatsu Senpai and Haryu Senpai?</font>

111
00:07:04,299 --> 00:07:05,469
<font size="20">About that…</font>

112
00:07:06,309 --> 00:07:08,349
<font size="20">It doesn't matter what's between them,</font>

113
00:07:08,429 --> 00:07:10,889
<font size="20">I won't let it get to me anymore!</font>

114
00:07:10,979 --> 00:07:12,809
<font size="20">Sounds like you already failed.</font>

115
00:07:12,899 --> 00:07:14,229
<font size="20">Oh, well.</font>

116
00:07:17,319 --> 00:07:20,989
<font size="20">I feel weird being a senpai.</font>

117
00:07:21,739 --> 00:07:24,199
<font size="20">-I don't care!
-Then why are you turning around?</font>

118
00:07:25,029 --> 00:07:27,489
<font size="20">The badminton team
is running scrimmages, right?</font>

119
00:07:27,579 --> 00:07:30,039
<font size="20">Yeah, and he's won all his matches.</font>

120
00:07:30,119 --> 00:07:31,409
<font size="20">Only so far.</font>

121
00:07:31,499 --> 00:07:32,869
<font size="20">So modest.</font>

122
00:07:32,959 --> 00:07:34,789
<font size="20">We still have more games.</font>

123
00:07:34,879 --> 00:07:35,959
<font size="20">It's just the start.</font>

124
00:07:36,039 --> 00:07:37,749
<font size="20">I see. Good luck.</font>

125
00:07:37,839 --> 00:07:39,459
<font size="20">Thanks.</font>

126
00:07:39,549 --> 00:07:40,969
<font size="20">I don't care.</font>

127
00:07:41,049 --> 00:07:43,509
<font size="20">You two have been awful chummy lately.</font>

128
00:07:44,299 --> 00:07:46,549
<font size="20">You've been hanging out with Kano a lot.</font>

129
00:07:46,639 --> 00:07:48,759
<font size="20">We do sit next to each other in class.</font>

130
00:07:48,849 --> 00:07:50,849
<font size="20">Yeah? Is that all?</font>

131
00:07:50,929 --> 00:07:52,179
<font size="20">-That's all.
-He's melting.</font>

132
00:07:52,269 --> 00:07:54,269
<font size="20">We're both busy with sports.</font>

133
00:07:54,349 --> 00:07:55,519
<font size="20">But…</font>

134
00:07:56,399 --> 00:07:59,529
<font size="20">there's something nice
about seeing a girl work hard.</font>

135
00:07:59,609 --> 00:08:02,109
<font size="20">-Wait, are you saying…?
-No.</font>

136
00:08:04,609 --> 00:08:05,779
<font size="20"><i>Oh, boy.</i></font>

137
00:08:05,869 --> 00:08:07,989
<font size="20"><i>This is some bad timing.</i></font>

138
00:08:10,619 --> 00:08:12,539
<font size="20">Love-all. Play.</font>

139
00:08:16,629 --> 00:08:18,039
<font size="20">In. Five-one.</font>

140
00:08:18,129 --> 00:08:20,459
<font size="20">Haryu's dictating the pace.</font>

141
00:08:20,549 --> 00:08:22,339
<font size="20">He doesn't let you attack.</font>

142
00:08:22,419 --> 00:08:24,049
<font size="20">He's like a brick wall.</font>

143
00:08:24,759 --> 00:08:28,389
<font size="20">Is he okay? This looks really one-sided.</font>

144
00:08:28,469 --> 00:08:29,559
<font size="20">What's he gonna do?</font>

145
00:08:29,639 --> 00:08:31,269
<font size="20">They're on different levels.</font>

146
00:08:31,349 --> 00:08:33,889
<font size="20">And he has a whole year
of experience over him.</font>

147
00:08:36,649 --> 00:08:37,809
<font size="20"><i>This has to be tough.</i></font>

148
00:08:38,979 --> 00:08:41,569
<font size="20"><i>Facing an opponent</i>
<i>who's close to his crush.</i></font>

149
00:08:41,649 --> 00:08:44,319
<font size="20"><i>Someone who might even like her too.</i></font>

150
00:08:45,609 --> 00:08:48,119
<font size="20"><i>Plus, he's closer to achieving his goals.</i></font>

151
00:08:48,869 --> 00:08:51,409
<font size="20"><i>With such a clear display of dominance,</i></font>

152
00:08:51,489 --> 00:08:54,209
<font size="20"><i>it's like he's being told</i>
<i>to give up on both.</i></font>

153
00:08:59,749 --> 00:09:01,919
<font size="20">-Natsu!
-Coming!</font>

154
00:09:05,589 --> 00:09:06,929
<font size="20">In. Eleven-four.</font>

155
00:09:07,009 --> 00:09:09,509
<font size="20">Looks like another win for Haryu.</font>

156
00:09:09,599 --> 00:09:12,429
<font size="20">Man, he's strong.
Can someone beat him already?</font>

157
00:09:14,849 --> 00:09:17,229
<font size="20">You okay? Drink some water.</font>

158
00:09:17,309 --> 00:09:18,269
<font size="20">Hey.</font>

159
00:09:19,729 --> 00:09:21,689
<font size="20">Wasn't I super close on that last one?</font>

160
00:09:22,939 --> 00:09:25,029
<font size="20">I was slow getting back in position.</font>

161
00:09:25,699 --> 00:09:27,949
<font size="20">I have trouble staying active.</font>

162
00:09:28,029 --> 00:09:29,319
<font size="20">You seem charged up.</font>

163
00:09:30,529 --> 00:09:31,949
<font size="20">I got my run in before this.</font>

164
00:09:32,029 --> 00:09:33,829
<font size="20">Not that.</font>

165
00:09:33,909 --> 00:09:35,749
<font size="20">I thought you'd be more bothered.</font>

166
00:09:35,829 --> 00:09:37,209
<font size="20">Like, about what happened earlier.</font>

167
00:09:41,419 --> 00:09:45,299
<font size="20">I do have to thank Chinatsu Senpai
for motivating me even more.</font>

168
00:09:46,419 --> 00:09:50,969
<font size="20">I never want to use her
as an excuse for when I lose.</font>

169
00:09:52,099 --> 00:09:55,469
<font size="20">It's not like I play badminton
only for her sake.</font>

170
00:09:56,269 --> 00:09:57,519
<font size="20">Deep down,</font>

171
00:09:58,309 --> 00:09:59,559
<font size="20">I just love badminton.</font>

172
00:10:00,769 --> 00:10:02,059
<font size="20">Taiki. Clock's ticking.</font>

173
00:10:02,149 --> 00:10:02,979
<font size="20">Coming!</font>

174
00:10:03,769 --> 00:10:05,279
<font size="20">Still, I need to adjust.</font>

175
00:10:18,789 --> 00:10:20,289
<font size="20"><i>I decided I'm going for it.</i></font>

176
00:10:20,919 --> 00:10:22,709
<font size="20"><i>I have to keep pushing forward.</i></font>

177
00:10:25,759 --> 00:10:26,919
<font size="20"><i>One step at a time.</i></font>

178
00:10:27,509 --> 00:10:29,299
<font size="20">Nice return.</font>

179
00:10:29,379 --> 00:10:30,549
<font size="20">But he hit it back.</font>

180
00:10:30,629 --> 00:10:31,889
<font size="20">Hang in there, Taiki!</font>

181
00:10:31,969 --> 00:10:32,799
<font size="20"><i>One step.</i></font>

182
00:10:34,429 --> 00:10:35,309
<font size="20">It's up.</font>

183
00:10:45,149 --> 00:10:46,649
<font size="20">Close one.</font>

184
00:10:46,729 --> 00:10:48,319
<font size="20">You started rallying.</font>

185
00:10:48,989 --> 00:10:51,069
<font size="20">But you should be happy.</font>

186
00:10:51,699 --> 00:10:53,619
<font size="20">You may have lost to Haryu Senpai,</font>

187
00:10:53,699 --> 00:10:55,949
<font size="20">but that performance
will get you on the team.</font>

188
00:10:59,459 --> 00:11:01,289
<font size="20">You don't look happy.</font>

189
00:11:01,369 --> 00:11:02,959
<font size="20">I mean, I lost.</font>

190
00:11:03,749 --> 00:11:06,709
<font size="20">And those points I got
in the second half felt scrappy.</font>

191
00:11:07,249 --> 00:11:10,469
<font size="20">He dictated the pace
throughout the whole match.</font>

192
00:11:10,549 --> 00:11:11,379
<font size="20">BURNABLE TRASH</font>

193
00:11:11,469 --> 00:11:13,969
<font size="20">I knew that Haryu Senpai was tough.</font>

194
00:11:15,509 --> 00:11:17,259
<font size="20">But I'm still frustrated I lost.</font>

195
00:11:19,559 --> 00:11:21,479
<font size="20">You hear that?</font>

196
00:11:21,559 --> 00:11:23,229
<font size="20">That little punk.</font>

197
00:11:23,309 --> 00:11:25,939
<font size="20">I'm the one who's frustrated.</font>

198
00:11:26,019 --> 00:11:27,939
<font size="20">Why? You won.</font>

199
00:11:29,899 --> 00:11:31,319
<font size="20">Because at the end…</font>

200
00:11:32,909 --> 00:11:34,869
<font size="20">What? You can't leave me hanging!</font>

201
00:11:34,949 --> 00:11:36,409
<font size="20">Come on, tell me!</font>

202
00:11:37,949 --> 00:11:40,909
<font size="20"><i>Of course it's not just going to work out.</i></font>

203
00:11:40,999 --> 00:11:42,829
<font size="20"><i>I was facing Haryu Senpai after all.</i></font>

204
00:11:43,459 --> 00:11:48,129
<font size="20"><i>He's got me beat</i>
<i>in technique, speed, and power.</i></font>

205
00:11:48,209 --> 00:11:50,669
<font size="20"><i>I need to play more aggressively.</i></font>

206
00:11:51,419 --> 00:11:53,879
<font size="20"><i>And read my opponent for better placement.</i></font>

207
00:11:53,969 --> 00:11:55,839
<font size="20"><i>I have to smash any easy shots.</i></font>

208
00:11:56,679 --> 00:11:59,219
<font size="20"><i>I need to build more experience</i>
<i>to pull that off.</i></font>

209
00:11:59,849 --> 00:12:01,889
<font size="20"><i>I'm not practicing enough at all.</i></font>

210
00:12:01,979 --> 00:12:02,979
<font size="20">Taiki!</font>

211
00:12:04,899 --> 00:12:05,899
<font size="20">Follow me!</font>

212
00:12:05,979 --> 00:12:06,979
<font size="20">Chinatsu Senpai?</font>

213
00:12:07,059 --> 00:12:09,399
<font size="20">The sun will set soon. Come on, hurry up!</font>

214
00:12:09,479 --> 00:12:11,989
<font size="20">Wait, where are we going?</font>

215
00:12:12,069 --> 00:12:13,239
<font size="20">Someplace nice!</font>

216
00:12:16,449 --> 00:12:19,539
<font size="20">I mean, I guess it's nice.</font>

217
00:12:19,619 --> 00:12:21,119
<font size="20">But why the park?</font>

218
00:12:21,829 --> 00:12:23,289
<font size="20">Well…</font>

219
00:12:23,369 --> 00:12:26,539
<font size="20">Ta-da! I borrowed these.</font>

220
00:12:27,919 --> 00:12:30,049
<font size="20">Why did you borrow badminton rackets?</font>

221
00:12:30,669 --> 00:12:32,669
<font size="20">You said we should play sometime.</font>

222
00:12:34,259 --> 00:12:36,009
<font size="20"><i>She remembered!</i></font>

223
00:12:36,509 --> 00:12:40,929
<font size="20">Besides, I figured you'd want
to practice some more.</font>

224
00:12:41,019 --> 00:12:44,939
<font size="20">I'm usually most motivated
right after a game.</font>

225
00:12:45,019 --> 00:12:47,439
<font size="20">I thought you might be the same.</font>

226
00:12:48,109 --> 00:12:51,859
<font size="20"><i>Having someone</i>
<i>who understands how you feel</i></font>

227
00:12:52,569 --> 00:12:53,939
<font size="20"><i>is really nice.</i></font>

228
00:12:54,449 --> 00:12:55,449
<font size="20">Ready?</font>

229
00:12:59,989 --> 00:13:01,329
<font size="20">You can't even hit it?</font>

230
00:13:01,409 --> 00:13:03,699
<font size="20">No, I'm just not good at serves!</font>

231
00:13:04,909 --> 00:13:07,329
<font size="20">You're moving your left hand too much.</font>

232
00:13:07,419 --> 00:13:10,539
<font size="20">The left hand just drops it
and the racket does the rest.</font>

233
00:13:15,219 --> 00:13:17,179
<font size="20">That was perfect advice!</font>

234
00:13:17,259 --> 00:13:18,639
<font size="20">You're acting too surprised.</font>

235
00:13:18,719 --> 00:13:22,259
<font size="20">But this will just be practice for me.</font>

236
00:13:22,349 --> 00:13:23,849
<font size="20">You should do smashes.</font>

237
00:13:23,929 --> 00:13:25,139
<font size="20">It's fine.</font>

238
00:13:25,229 --> 00:13:26,769
<font size="20">I hit enough during the match.</font>

239
00:13:26,849 --> 00:13:30,269
<font size="20">I was watching your match against Haryu.</font>

240
00:13:31,229 --> 00:13:33,189
<font size="20">Please erase that from your memory.</font>

241
00:13:33,279 --> 00:13:34,279
<font size="20">Why?</font>

242
00:13:34,359 --> 00:13:36,319
<font size="20">Because it's embarrassing.</font>

243
00:13:36,399 --> 00:13:37,529
<font size="20">Since I lost.</font>

244
00:13:37,609 --> 00:13:38,949
<font size="20">It's not embarrassing.</font>

245
00:13:39,029 --> 00:13:41,659
<font size="20">You started landing
those smashes towards the end.</font>

246
00:13:41,739 --> 00:13:42,789
<font size="20">Yeah, but…</font>

247
00:13:43,579 --> 00:13:46,789
<font size="20"><i>Besides, at the interval</i>
<i>of the second game,</i></font>

248
00:13:46,869 --> 00:13:48,579
<font size="20"><i>it was eleven-four.</i></font>

249
00:13:48,669 --> 00:13:53,169
<font size="20">And in the time it took him
to score another 10 points to get to 21,</font>

250
00:13:53,249 --> 00:13:55,629
<font size="20">you scored 11 points.</font>

251
00:13:56,219 --> 00:13:57,049
<font size="20">What?</font>

252
00:13:59,759 --> 00:14:01,639
<font size="20">But a loss is a loss!</font>

253
00:14:02,429 --> 00:14:05,599
<font size="20">He totally outplayed me in the first half.</font>

254
00:14:05,679 --> 00:14:07,729
<font size="20">It doesn't matter how much
I scored the second half.</font>

255
00:14:07,809 --> 00:14:08,889
<font size="20">I still lost.</font>

256
00:14:13,819 --> 00:14:15,529
<font size="20">What are you laughing at?</font>

257
00:14:15,609 --> 00:14:16,649
<font size="20">Sorry.</font>

258
00:14:17,319 --> 00:14:19,909
<font size="20">You really hate losing, don't you?</font>

259
00:14:19,989 --> 00:14:21,779
<font size="20">Don't swing with your upper body!</font>

260
00:14:21,869 --> 00:14:22,949
<font size="20">Use your legs!</font>

261
00:14:23,029 --> 00:14:23,989
<font size="20">Yes, sir!</font>

262
00:14:24,739 --> 00:14:26,699
<font size="20"><i>Whenever someone gives you instructions,</i></font>

263
00:14:26,789 --> 00:14:29,419
<font size="20"><i>you work on it</i>
<i>all throughout morning practice.</i></font>

264
00:14:30,079 --> 00:14:34,169
<font size="20">Even during your match against Haryu,
you never gave up.</font>

265
00:14:34,249 --> 00:14:36,919
<font size="20">That's why you scored in the second half.</font>

266
00:14:37,919 --> 00:14:39,429
<font size="20">So don't worry.</font>

267
00:14:41,469 --> 00:14:44,139
<font size="20">You'll be fine!</font>

268
00:14:45,849 --> 00:14:47,679
<font size="20"><i>Being so untalented,</i></font>

269
00:14:47,769 --> 00:14:51,939
<font size="20"><i>it's hard for me to believe in myself.</i></font>

270
00:14:53,729 --> 00:14:54,689
<font size="20">I'll win next time.</font>

271
00:14:55,769 --> 00:14:56,779
<font size="20">That's the spirit!</font>

272
00:14:58,189 --> 00:15:02,699
<font size="20"><i>But I can easily believe</i>
<i>anything the person I like says.</i></font>

276
00:15:11,169 --> 00:15:13,249

279

280
00:15:20,969 --> 00:15:22,179
<font size="20">Oh, this?</font>

281
00:15:22,259 --> 00:15:24,259
<font size="20">They're from my classmates.</font>

282
00:15:24,969 --> 00:15:27,259

283
00:15:28,719 --> 00:15:32,019

288
00:15:46,159 --> 00:15:48,539

00:16:26,529 --> 00:16:28,989
<font size="20">DOUBLES
HARYU AND INOMATA</font>

297
00:16:29,739 --> 00:16:32,499
<font size="20">I'm playing doubles with Haryu Senpai?</font>

298
00:16:33,209 --> 00:16:36,749
<font size="20">But I'm trying to take him down.</font>

299
00:16:36,829 --> 00:16:38,089
<font size="20">Yeah.</font>

300
00:16:38,169 --> 00:16:40,999
<font size="20">Going to nationals
with your romantic rival sounds awkward.</font>

301
00:16:42,709 --> 00:16:45,719
<font size="20">Even disregarding the fact
I like Chinatsu Senpai, I--</font>

302
00:16:45,799 --> 00:16:47,009
<font size="20">Taiki.</font>

303
00:16:47,719 --> 00:16:49,009
<font size="20">Let's practice.</font>

304
00:16:49,099 --> 00:16:50,509
<font size="20">Okay.</font>

305
00:16:51,429 --> 00:16:55,019
<font size="20">You'll be following a regimen
I come up with for the time being.</font>

306
00:16:55,099 --> 00:16:56,689
<font size="20"><i>Thank goodness.</i></font>

307
00:16:56,769 --> 00:16:59,059
<font size="20"><i>It doesn't seem like he overheard that.</i></font>

308
00:16:59,149 --> 00:17:00,019
<font size="20">So…</font>

309
00:17:01,359 --> 00:17:04,029
<font size="20">you like Chinatsu Kano, huh?</font>

310
00:17:07,069 --> 00:17:08,659
<font size="20">How interesting.</font>

311
00:17:09,619 --> 00:17:13,539
<font size="20"><i>This is the worst start</i>
<i>a doubles pair can have!</i></font>

312
00:17:15,909 --> 00:17:16,919
<font size="20">Way too slow!</font>

313
00:17:16,999 --> 00:17:18,539
<font size="20">You're lagging!</font>

314
00:17:18,629 --> 00:17:19,539
<font size="20">Okay!</font>

315
00:17:19,629 --> 00:17:21,709
<font size="20">Haryu is one tough dude.</font>

316
00:17:21,799 --> 00:17:25,719
<font size="20">They did running, circuit training,
and footwork exercises before this.</font>

317
00:17:25,799 --> 00:17:27,629
<font size="20">I'd be puking by now.</font>

318
00:17:30,719 --> 00:17:32,059
<font size="20">You getting tired yet?</font>

319
00:17:32,759 --> 00:17:34,179
<font size="20">Tell me if you need a break.</font>

320
00:17:34,269 --> 00:17:36,099
<font size="20">I can't have you passing out.</font>

321
00:17:36,189 --> 00:17:41,569
<font size="20">But… I've never seen Chii
whine about being too tired.</font>

322
00:17:42,399 --> 00:17:46,949
<font size="20">I bet any guy she ends up dating
will be cool and tough like her.</font>

323
00:17:48,409 --> 00:17:50,659
<font size="20">What shall we do next?</font>

324
00:17:50,739 --> 00:17:52,869
<font size="20">Rotation practice. Five two-minute reps.</font>

325
00:18:00,749 --> 00:18:02,959
<font size="20">You look like a mushroom
growing from the desk.</font>

326
00:18:03,049 --> 00:18:04,839
<font size="20">And not a nutritious one.</font>

327
00:18:04,919 --> 00:18:06,339
<font size="20">Shut up.</font>

328
00:18:07,339 --> 00:18:12,349
<font size="20"><i>He's been physically working me</i>
<i>to death over the last week.</i></font>

329
00:18:12,429 --> 00:18:16,599
<font size="20">The classroom
is the only place I can rest.</font>

330
00:18:16,679 --> 00:18:18,599
<font size="20">-What about home?
-I'm surprised.</font>

331
00:18:19,599 --> 00:18:22,609
<font size="20">I didn't think Haryu Senpai
would work with you so much.</font>

332
00:18:22,689 --> 00:18:25,319
<font size="20">He didn't seem like the team player type.</font>

333
00:18:26,529 --> 00:18:28,319
<font size="20">So this Haryu Senpai</font>

334
00:18:28,399 --> 00:18:31,659
<font size="20">is the guy who was walking home
with Chinatsu Senpai, right?</font>

335
00:18:31,739 --> 00:18:33,119
<font size="20">So maybe he's like…</font>

336
00:18:34,079 --> 00:18:36,369
<font size="20">"Don't make a move on my girl,"</font>

337
00:18:36,449 --> 00:18:37,999
<font size="20">and messing with you.</font>

338
00:18:38,709 --> 00:18:39,619
<font size="20">You're beneath me.</font>

339
00:18:39,709 --> 00:18:42,709
<font size="20"><i>He's trying to make you give up</i>
<i>by putting you in your place.</i></font>

340
00:18:44,999 --> 00:18:47,879
<font size="20">The truth is, I do feel inferior to him.</font>

341
00:18:47,969 --> 00:18:51,929
<font size="20"><i>Even though we do the same regimen,</i>
<i>his speed never slows down,</i></font>

342
00:18:52,009 --> 00:18:53,679
<font size="20"><i>and his shots are so accurate.</i></font>

343
00:18:54,969 --> 00:18:59,389
<font size="20">I bet badminton is fun when you have
such a great physical foundation.</font>

344
00:18:59,479 --> 00:19:00,809
<font size="20">Badminton freak.</font>

345
00:19:00,889 --> 00:19:01,809
<font size="20">Masochist.</font>

346
00:19:01,899 --> 00:19:03,439
<font size="20">Those are insults.</font>

347
00:19:10,449 --> 00:19:11,659
<font size="20">Taiki.</font>

348
00:19:11,739 --> 00:19:13,159
<font size="20">Why did you hit a cross shot there?</font>

349
00:19:13,989 --> 00:19:16,029
<font size="20">The opponent was setting up a backhand.</font>

350
00:19:16,119 --> 00:19:18,789
<font size="20">A straight shot would've had
more speed too.</font>

351
00:19:18,869 --> 00:19:21,369
<font size="20">You should've gone for it,
even in an awkward position.</font>

352
00:19:22,749 --> 00:19:25,789
<font size="20">If you only settle for the easy shots,
you'll never improve.</font>

353
00:19:25,879 --> 00:19:26,919
<font size="20">Right!</font>

354
00:19:36,969 --> 00:19:39,679
<font size="20">I survived another day.</font>

355
00:19:39,769 --> 00:19:40,889
<font size="20">Is this a battlefield?</font>

356
00:19:42,189 --> 00:19:43,809
<font size="20">I need a drink.</font>

357
00:19:43,899 --> 00:19:45,109
<font size="20">Of juice, right?</font>

358
00:19:46,689 --> 00:19:47,689
<font size="20">Taiki!</font>

359
00:19:49,029 --> 00:19:50,029
<font size="20">Good work today.</font>

360
00:19:50,109 --> 00:19:51,279
<font size="20">You too!</font>

361
00:19:52,239 --> 00:19:53,779
<font size="20"><i>Those are second-year students.</i></font>

362
00:19:53,859 --> 00:19:55,699
<font size="20"><i>And Chinatsu Senpai.</i></font>

363
00:20:05,039 --> 00:20:07,789
<font size="20">I actually got paired up
to play doubles with this guy.</font>

364
00:20:08,959 --> 00:20:11,089
<font size="20"><i>You're talking about me here?</i></font>

365
00:20:11,169 --> 00:20:15,009
<font size="20">He's still a first-year
and absolutely garbage.</font>

366
00:20:15,089 --> 00:20:17,299
<font size="20">He's still got so many holes in his game.</font>

367
00:20:18,099 --> 00:20:22,059
<font size="20">He sucks at shot selection
and blunders when he rushes in to attack.</font>

368
00:20:22,729 --> 00:20:24,899
<font size="20"><i>I can't deny any of it because it's true.</i></font>

369
00:20:24,979 --> 00:20:25,939
<font size="20">But…</font>

370
00:20:26,479 --> 00:20:28,189
<font size="20">I think Taiki's going to be good.</font>

371
00:20:30,279 --> 00:20:34,699
<font size="20">This kid doesn't fold at all,
no matter how much I bully him.</font>

372
00:20:34,779 --> 00:20:39,449
<font size="20">Even when I subject him to stuff
that I think is a little too much,</font>

373
00:20:39,529 --> 00:20:41,369
<font size="20">he actually finishes all of it.</font>

374
00:20:41,449 --> 00:20:42,449
<font size="20"><i>What?</i></font>

375
00:20:42,539 --> 00:20:44,919
<font size="20">You're such a sadist.</font>

376
00:20:44,999 --> 00:20:47,669
<font size="20">You're always tough
on people you believe in.</font>

377
00:20:49,289 --> 00:20:51,169
<font size="20">-That's not true.
<i>-I'm glad.</i></font>

378
00:20:51,249 --> 00:20:53,549
<font size="20"><i>At least he sees some potential in me.</i></font>

379
00:20:53,629 --> 00:20:55,969
<font size="20">You ignore people you don't care about.</font>

380
00:20:56,759 --> 00:20:58,759
<font size="20">You're doing great.</font>

381
00:20:59,549 --> 00:21:02,969
<font size="20">Just the other day, you know
that first-year I'm looking after?</font>

382
00:21:05,559 --> 00:21:09,819
<font size="20"><i>It's nice being acknowledged</i>
<i>by the older students.</i></font>

383
00:21:11,979 --> 00:21:14,609
<font size="20">I had a message from my girlfriend.</font>

384
00:21:14,689 --> 00:21:16,239
<font size="20">Girlfriend, huh?</font>

385
00:21:17,819 --> 00:21:20,279
<font size="20">You have a girlfriend?</font>

386
00:21:20,949 --> 00:21:23,749
<font size="20">-Yeah, since last week.
-Last week?</font>

387
00:21:25,369 --> 00:21:29,709
<font size="20">I liked her for a long time,
but she's in show business.</font>

388
00:21:30,379 --> 00:21:34,129
<font size="20">I was just about to give up
when she asked me out.</font>

389
00:21:35,879 --> 00:21:37,259
<font size="20">She's so cool.</font>

390
00:21:37,929 --> 00:21:41,849
<font size="20">She's been working hard
chasing her dream since she was little.</font>

391
00:21:43,429 --> 00:21:45,889
<font size="20">Chii, thanks for the other day.</font>

392
00:21:45,979 --> 00:21:48,769
<font size="20">I would've felt awkward
going to buy makeup on my own.</font>

393
00:21:48,849 --> 00:21:50,229
<font size="20">Don't mention it.</font>

394
00:21:51,649 --> 00:21:55,029
<font size="20"><i>He was just toying with me</i>
<i>this whole time!</i></font>

395
00:21:56,399 --> 00:21:59,529
<font size="20">Looks like it'll be a while
before you get a girlfriend.</font>

396
00:22:02,369 --> 00:22:04,739
<font size="20"><i>Nobody asked you!</i></font>
