00:02.629 --> 00:05.799
<i>Chinatsu Senpai and Haryu Senpai?</i>

00:09.349 --> 00:12.139
I'm sure they're just friends!

00:12.229 --> 00:14.439
I mean, we're walking home together too!

00:15.309 --> 00:16.689
You're right!

00:16.769 --> 00:18.939
Walking home together is just normal!

00:19.019 --> 00:20.189
Exactly.

00:21.029 --> 00:22.359
Yeah, exactly!

00:25.779 --> 00:26.779
Wha?!

00:27.279 --> 00:28.989
They're both superstars after all.

00:29.079 --> 00:29.949
Well…

00:30.699 --> 00:34.789
They're in the same class,
and they sit together.

00:34.869 --> 00:37.459
Plus, they were both selected
to be class reps.

00:37.999 --> 00:40.839
-You're using foreign words.
-Not your world, huh?

00:40.919 --> 00:42.339
SAME CLASS, SIT TOGETHER, BOTH REPS

00:42.419 --> 00:44.549
Don't worry about it.

00:44.629 --> 00:48.179
Chinatsu Senpai said
she wanted to focus on basketball anyway.

00:48.259 --> 00:49.599
Maybe.

00:49.679 --> 00:53.349
But you can't stop yourself
from falling in love!

00:53.429 --> 00:55.309
You've got a point there.

00:56.269 --> 00:58.609
Who actually says that in real life?

01:03.359 --> 01:06.609

EPISODE 3
CHII

02:32.909 --> 02:35.369
How's the team looking this year?

02:35.449 --> 02:38.579
Our leading talents are
the third-years plus Haryu.

02:39.329 --> 02:41.669
<i>I guess Haryu's on another level?</i>

02:41.749 --> 02:45.339
<i>He's got the potential</i>
<i>to compete on the national stage.</i>

02:45.419 --> 02:48.839
But personally,
I've got high hopes for him too.

02:54.049 --> 02:56.099
Sorry about the ball!

02:58.309 --> 02:59.679
<i>Chinatsu Senpai!</i>

03:01.229 --> 03:05.109
<i>Looking at her</i>
<i>just reminds me of yesterday.</i>

03:06.269 --> 03:07.609
-Okay, then.
-Wait!

03:08.439 --> 03:10.609
When do you get off practice today?

03:12.159 --> 03:14.119
I forgot my house key.

03:14.199 --> 03:16.369
And your folks said they'd be out.

03:17.289 --> 03:18.289
At 7:00.

03:18.369 --> 03:22.369
<i>-Wait, what if someone overhears us?</i>
-My practice ends at 7:00 too.

03:23.209 --> 03:24.459
-Then--
-Chii.

03:24.539 --> 03:26.789
Does your team have an extra timer?

03:27.459 --> 03:28.709
-Ours is broken.
<i>-Chii?</i>

03:28.799 --> 03:30.259
I don't think we do.

03:30.339 --> 03:31.379
I figured.

03:31.469 --> 03:35.889
<i>Did he just call Chinatsu Senpai "Chii"?</i>

03:38.969 --> 03:40.889
<i>I'm so jealous!</i>

03:40.979 --> 03:43.899
<i>How close are they?</i>

03:43.979 --> 03:48.399
<i>Not only do I call her Chinatsu,</i>
<i>I even add the "senpai" honorific!</i>

03:48.479 --> 03:50.149
-Chii!
<i>-Plus!</i>

03:50.229 --> 03:51.399
-Yes?
<i>-She seems okay with it.</i>

03:51.489 --> 03:52.569
-Hey, Chii!
-Hi!

03:52.649 --> 03:55.279
<i>What would I have to do to call her that?</i>

03:55.369 --> 03:57.409
-May I call you Chii?
-Yes.

03:57.489 --> 03:58.369
INOMATA

03:58.449 --> 03:59.619
<i>Since they're classmates?</i>

03:59.699 --> 04:00.999
<i>Since they sit together?</i>

04:01.619 --> 04:05.379
<i>Or is it because</i>
<i>they're both superstars on their teams?</i>

04:09.839 --> 04:11.049
<i>I'm so lame.</i>

04:12.049 --> 04:14.299
<i>There's no point dwelling on this.</i>

04:15.089 --> 04:16.719
<i>There's nothing I can do.</i>

04:16.799 --> 04:19.809
<i>I can never be the same grade as her.</i>

04:20.559 --> 04:23.059
<i>Even if she told me I could call her Chii,</i>

04:23.599 --> 04:24.809
<i>I couldn't.</i>

04:25.689 --> 04:27.059
<i>If we didn't live together…</i>

04:27.729 --> 04:30.069
<i>if we weren't in such close proximity…</i>

04:30.729 --> 04:32.649
<i>I wouldn't be struggling with this.</i>

04:35.739 --> 04:37.819
Chi… na… tsu--

04:37.909 --> 04:39.579
-I'm home.
-Senpai!

04:40.449 --> 04:41.659
What's wrong?

04:41.739 --> 04:42.829
It's nothing.

04:42.909 --> 04:45.959
<i>I'm such a creep!</i>

04:46.039 --> 04:48.839
<i>Lame plus creep equals me!</i>

04:51.419 --> 04:53.879
You got home fast.

04:55.679 --> 04:57.139
When I was heading home,

04:57.219 --> 05:00.099
the badminton players
were just going into their clubroom.

05:00.969 --> 05:04.349
You said practice ended at 7:00,
but I guess it ran long.

05:05.639 --> 05:07.349
<i>What is wrong with me?</i>

05:08.939 --> 05:11.019
<i>All she did was say "badminton players,"</i>

05:11.609 --> 05:14.609
<i>and all I'm thinking is that she means</i>
<i>Haryu Senpai.</i>

05:15.699 --> 05:17.949
-Sorry, I'll go to my room.
-Wait.

05:20.579 --> 05:21.529
Sorry.

05:22.409 --> 05:24.369
I wanted to ask you something.

05:25.329 --> 05:27.369
I'll be embarrassed
if I'm wrong about this.

05:28.209 --> 05:30.129
But did you run home?

05:30.959 --> 05:34.129
I noticed you sweating,
so I thought maybe you did.

05:34.209 --> 05:35.759
Is that because

05:35.839 --> 05:37.969
I went home earlier than you

05:38.049 --> 05:40.759
<i>and you didn't want</i>
<i>to keep me waiting outside?</i>

05:44.139 --> 05:46.389
<i>-How did she notice that?</i>
-I did wait at school.

05:46.479 --> 05:50.149
<i>All I've done is worry about</i>
<i>what to call her.</i>

05:51.309 --> 05:54.279
<i>But knowing how carefully</i>
<i>she was watching me,</i>

05:54.359 --> 05:57.319
<i>makes me so happy that</i>
<i>I don't care about that anymore.</i>

05:57.399 --> 05:58.649
If you did,

06:00.159 --> 06:01.909
nice save.

06:04.489 --> 06:06.539
No, you're wrong!

06:06.619 --> 06:09.669
I just thought I'd squeeze
in training on the way home!

06:10.709 --> 06:12.999
You know, I think I'll go on another run!

06:17.009 --> 06:20.259
<i>This living situation</i>
<i>is just messing with my head.</i>

06:20.759 --> 06:23.299
<i>I'm no match for him anyway.</i>

06:24.009 --> 06:27.979
<i>It doesn't matter who she's with,</i>
<i>or what they call her.</i>

06:28.059 --> 06:30.519
<i>If I start worrying about that,</i>
<i>I'll go crazy.</i>

06:30.599 --> 06:33.439
<i>Right now, I need to focus</i>
<i>on the intradepartmental matches.</i>

06:34.689 --> 06:38.439
<i>But hearing him call her "Chii"</i>
<i>might still get to me.</i>

06:41.029 --> 06:42.949
In! Game! Inomata!

06:43.619 --> 06:46.289
You won again? You're on a roll.

06:46.369 --> 06:47.449
Yeah.

06:48.119 --> 06:50.919
But I've basically only faced first-years.

06:50.999 --> 06:53.669
I haven't played any starters yet.

06:54.289 --> 06:55.709
Besides…

06:55.799 --> 06:58.709
It looks like Haryu Senpai
won every match.

06:59.669 --> 07:01.179
That reminds me.

07:01.259 --> 07:04.219
What was the deal
with Chinatsu Senpai and Haryu Senpai?

07:04.299 --> 07:05.469
About that…

07:06.309 --> 07:08.349
It doesn't matter what's between them,

07:08.429 --> 07:10.889
I won't let it get to me anymore!

07:10.979 --> 07:12.809
Sounds like you already failed.

07:12.899 --> 07:14.229
Oh, well.

07:17.319 --> 07:20.989
I feel weird being a senpai.

07:21.739 --> 07:24.199
-I don't care!
-Then why are you turning around?

07:25.029 --> 07:27.489
The badminton team
is running scrimmages, right?

07:27.579 --> 07:30.039
Yeah, and he's won all his matches.

07:30.119 --> 07:31.409
Only so far.

07:31.499 --> 07:32.869
So modest.

07:32.959 --> 07:34.789
We still have more games.

07:34.879 --> 07:35.959
It's just the start.

07:36.039 --> 07:37.749
I see. Good luck.

07:37.839 --> 07:39.459
Thanks.

07:39.549 --> 07:40.969
I don't care.

07:41.049 --> 07:43.509
You two have been awful chummy lately.

07:44.299 --> 07:46.549
You've been hanging out with Kano a lot.

07:46.639 --> 07:48.759
We do sit next to each other in class.

07:48.849 --> 07:50.849
Yeah? Is that all?

07:50.929 --> 07:52.179
-That's all.
-He's melting.

07:52.269 --> 07:54.269
We're both busy with sports.

07:54.349 --> 07:55.519
But…

07:56.399 --> 07:59.529
there's something nice
about seeing a girl work hard.

07:59.609 --> 08:02.109
-Wait, are you saying…?
-No.

08:04.609 --> 08:05.779
<i>Oh, boy.</i>

08:05.869 --> 08:07.989
<i>This is some bad timing.</i>

08:10.619 --> 08:12.539
Love-all. Play.

08:16.629 --> 08:18.039
In. Five-one.

08:18.129 --> 08:20.459
Haryu's dictating the pace.

08:20.549 --> 08:22.339
He doesn't let you attack.

08:22.419 --> 08:24.049
He's like a brick wall.

08:24.759 --> 08:28.389
Is he okay? This looks really one-sided.

08:28.469 --> 08:29.559
What's he gonna do?

08:29.639 --> 08:31.269
They're on different levels.

08:31.349 --> 08:33.889
And he has a whole year
of experience over him.

08:36.649 --> 08:37.809
<i>This has to be tough.</i>

08:38.979 --> 08:41.569
<i>Facing an opponent</i>
<i>who's close to his crush.</i>

08:41.649 --> 08:44.319
<i>Someone who might even like her too.</i>

08:45.609 --> 08:48.119
<i>Plus, he's closer to achieving his goals.</i>

08:48.869 --> 08:51.409
<i>With such a clear display of dominance,</i>

08:51.489 --> 08:54.209
<i>it's like he's being told</i>
<i>to give up on both.</i>

08:59.749 --> 09:01.919
-Natsu!
-Coming!

09:05.589 --> 09:06.929
In. Eleven-four.

09:07.009 --> 09:09.509
Looks like another win for Haryu.

09:09.599 --> 09:12.429
Man, he's strong.
Can someone beat him already?

09:14.849 --> 09:17.229
You okay? Drink some water.

09:17.309 --> 09:18.269
Hey.

09:19.729 --> 09:21.689
Wasn't I super close on that last one?

09:22.939 --> 09:25.029
I was slow getting back in position.

09:25.699 --> 09:27.949
I have trouble staying active.

09:28.029 --> 09:29.319
You seem charged up.

09:30.529 --> 09:31.949
I got my run in before this.

09:32.029 --> 09:33.829
Not that.

09:33.909 --> 09:35.749
I thought you'd be more bothered.

09:35.829 --> 09:37.209
Like, about what happened earlier.

09:41.419 --> 09:45.299
I do have to thank Chinatsu Senpai
for motivating me even more.

09:46.419 --> 09:50.969
I never want to use her
as an excuse for when I lose.

09:52.099 --> 09:55.469
It's not like I play badminton
only for her sake.

09:56.269 --> 09:57.519
Deep down,

09:58.309 --> 09:59.559
I just love badminton.

10:00.769 --> 10:02.059
Taiki. Clock's ticking.

10:02.149 --> 10:02.979
Coming!

10:03.769 --> 10:05.279
Still, I need to adjust.

10:18.789 --> 10:20.289
<i>I decided I'm going for it.</i>

10:20.919 --> 10:22.709
<i>I have to keep pushing forward.</i>

10:25.759 --> 10:26.919
<i>One step at a time.</i>

10:27.509 --> 10:29.299
Nice return.

10:29.379 --> 10:30.549
But he hit it back.

10:30.629 --> 10:31.889
Hang in there, Taiki!

10:31.969 --> 10:32.799
<i>One step.</i>

10:34.429 --> 10:35.309
It's up.

10:45.149 --> 10:46.649
Close one.

10:46.729 --> 10:48.319
You started rallying.

10:48.989 --> 10:51.069
But you should be happy.

10:51.699 --> 10:53.619
You may have lost to Haryu Senpai,

10:53.699 --> 10:55.949
but that performance
will get you on the team.

10:59.459 --> 11:01.289
You don't look happy.

11:01.369 --> 11:02.959
I mean, I lost.

11:03.749 --> 11:06.709
And those points I got
in the second half felt scrappy.

11:07.249 --> 11:10.469
He dictated the pace
throughout the whole match.

11:10.549 --> 11:11.379
BURNABLE TRASH

11:11.469 --> 11:13.969
I knew that Haryu Senpai was tough.

11:15.509 --> 11:17.259
But I'm still frustrated I lost.

11:19.559 --> 11:21.479
You hear that?

11:21.559 --> 11:23.229
That little punk.

11:23.309 --> 11:25.939
I'm the one who's frustrated.

11:26.019 --> 11:27.939
Why? You won.

11:29.899 --> 11:31.319
Because at the end…

11:32.909 --> 11:34.869
What? You can't leave me hanging!

11:34.949 --> 11:36.409
Come on, tell me!

11:37.949 --> 11:40.909
<i>Of course it's not just going to work out.</i>

11:40.999 --> 11:42.829
<i>I was facing Haryu Senpai after all.</i>

11:43.459 --> 11:48.129
<i>He's got me beat</i>
<i>in technique, speed, and power.</i>

11:48.209 --> 11:50.669
<i>I need to play more aggressively.</i>

11:51.419 --> 11:53.879
<i>And read my opponent for better placement.</i>

11:53.969 --> 11:55.839
<i>I have to smash any easy shots.</i>

11:56.679 --> 11:59.219
<i>I need to build more experience</i>
<i>to pull that off.</i>

11:59.849 --> 12:01.889
<i>I'm not practicing enough at all.</i>

12:01.979 --> 12:02.979
Taiki!

12:04.899 --> 12:05.899
Follow me!

12:05.979 --> 12:06.979
Chinatsu Senpai?

12:07.059 --> 12:09.399
The sun will set soon. Come on, hurry up!

12:09.479 --> 12:11.989
Wait, where are we going?

12:12.069 --> 12:13.239
Someplace nice!

12:16.449 --> 12:19.539
I mean, I guess it's nice.

12:19.619 --> 12:21.119
But why the park?

12:21.829 --> 12:23.289
Well…

12:23.369 --> 12:26.539
Ta-da! I borrowed these.

12:27.919 --> 12:30.049
Why did you borrow badminton rackets?

12:30.669 --> 12:32.669
You said we should play sometime.

12:34.259 --> 12:36.009
<i>She remembered!</i>

12:36.509 --> 12:40.929
Besides, I figured you'd want
to practice some more.

12:41.019 --> 12:44.939
I'm usually most motivated
right after a game.

12:45.019 --> 12:47.439
I thought you might be the same.

12:48.109 --> 12:51.859
<i>Having someone</i>
<i>who understands how you feel</i>

12:52.569 --> 12:53.939
<i>is really nice.</i>

12:54.449 --> 12:55.449
Ready?

12:59.989 --> 13:01.329
You can't even hit it?

13:01.409 --> 13:03.699
No, I'm just not good at serves!

13:04.909 --> 13:07.329
You're moving your left hand too much.

13:07.419 --> 13:10.539
The left hand just drops it
and the racket does the rest.

13:15.219 --> 13:17.179
That was perfect advice!

13:17.259 --> 13:18.639
You're acting too surprised.

13:18.719 --> 13:22.259
But this will just be practice for me.

13:22.349 --> 13:23.849
You should do smashes.

13:23.929 --> 13:25.139
It's fine.

13:25.229 --> 13:26.769
I hit enough during the match.

13:26.849 --> 13:30.269
I was watching your match against Haryu.

13:31.229 --> 13:33.189
Please erase that from your memory.

13:33.279 --> 13:34.279
Why?

13:34.359 --> 13:36.319
Because it's embarrassing.

13:36.399 --> 13:37.529
Since I lost.

13:37.609 --> 13:38.949
It's not embarrassing.

13:39.029 --> 13:41.659
You started landing
those smashes towards the end.

13:41.739 --> 13:42.789
Yeah, but…

13:43.579 --> 13:46.789
<i>Besides, at the interval</i>
<i>of the second game,</i>

13:46.869 --> 13:48.579
<i>it was eleven-four.</i>

13:48.669 --> 13:53.169
And in the time it took him
to score another 10 points to get to 21,

13:53.249 --> 13:55.629
you scored 11 points.

13:56.219 --> 13:57.049
What?

13:59.759 --> 14:01.639
But a loss is a loss!

14:02.429 --> 14:05.599
He totally outplayed me in the first half.

14:05.679 --> 14:07.729
It doesn't matter how much
I scored the second half.

14:07.809 --> 14:08.889
I still lost.

14:13.819 --> 14:15.529
What are you laughing at?

14:15.609 --> 14:16.649
Sorry.

14:17.319 --> 14:19.909
You really hate losing, don't you?

14:19.989 --> 14:21.779
Don't swing with your upper body!

14:21.869 --> 14:22.949
Use your legs!

14:23.029 --> 14:23.989
Yes, sir!

14:24.739 --> 14:26.699
<i>Whenever someone gives you instructions,</i>

14:26.789 --> 14:29.419
<i>you work on it</i>
<i>all throughout morning practice.</i>

14:30.079 --> 14:34.169
Even during your match against Haryu,
you never gave up.

14:34.249 --> 14:36.919
That's why you scored in the second half.

14:37.919 --> 14:39.429
So don't worry.

14:41.469 --> 14:44.139
You'll be fine!

14:45.849 --> 14:47.679
<i>Being so untalented,</i>

14:47.769 --> 14:51.939
<i>it's hard for me to believe in myself.</i>

14:53.729 --> 14:54.689
I'll win next time.

14:55.769 --> 14:56.779
That's the spirit!

14:58.189 --> 15:02.699
<i>But I can easily believe</i>
<i>anything the person I like says.</i>

15:05.779 --> 15:06.949
YUKIKO

15:08.659 --> 15:10.119
It's from Yukiko.

15:10.209 --> 15:11.079
My mom?

15:11.169 --> 15:13.249
She's asking what time we'll be home.

15:14.419 --> 15:15.419
<i>"Chii"?</i>

15:15.919 --> 15:18.169
<i>Is that from Haryu Senpai?</i>

15:18.259 --> 15:20.339
<i>Don't tell me he gave that to her.</i>

15:20.969 --> 15:22.179
Oh, this?

15:22.259 --> 15:24.259
They're from my classmates.

15:24.969 --> 15:27.259
They call me "Chii" in class.

15:28.719 --> 15:32.019
<i>So it wasn't a pet name</i>
<i>only Haryu Senpai uses.</i>

15:34.099 --> 15:37.269
<i>Chinatsu Senpai has always been</i>
<i>so approachable.</i>

15:37.359 --> 15:40.359
<i>Maybe she really isn't interested</i>
<i>in any kind of romance right now.</i>

15:41.739 --> 15:43.489
Ready to go?

15:43.569 --> 15:45.069
Go on ahead without me.

15:46.159 --> 15:48.539
There will be a lot of people around…

15:49.449 --> 15:52.459
and while it might not bother you at all,

15:52.539 --> 15:56.249
it's a little embarrassing to walk back
to the same house with a girl.

15:57.499 --> 15:59.339
I'll do a few more practice swings.

16:08.309 --> 16:11.559
<i>"It might not bother you," huh?</i>

16:14.389 --> 16:16.519
<i>So that's how it seems to him.</i>

16:21.319 --> 16:23.239
EIMEI PRIVATE HIGH SCHOOL

16:23.989 --> 16:25.739
What? Why?

16:26.529 --> 16:28.989
DOUBLES
HARYU AND INOMATA

16:29.739 --> 16:32.499
I'm playing doubles with Haryu Senpai?

16:33.209 --> 16:36.749
But I'm trying to take him down.

16:36.829 --> 16:38.089
Yeah.

16:38.169 --> 16:40.999
Going to nationals
with your romantic rival sounds awkward.

16:42.709 --> 16:45.719
Even disregarding the fact
I like Chinatsu Senpai, I--

16:45.799 --> 16:47.009
Taiki.

16:47.719 --> 16:49.009
Let's practice.

16:49.099 --> 16:50.509
Okay.

16:51.429 --> 16:55.019
You'll be following a regimen
I come up with for the time being.

16:55.099 --> 16:56.689
<i>Thank goodness.</i>

16:56.769 --> 16:59.059
<i>It doesn't seem like he overheard that.</i>

16:59.149 --> 17:00.019
So…

17:01.359 --> 17:04.029
you like Chinatsu Kano, huh?

17:07.069 --> 17:08.659
How interesting.

17:09.619 --> 17:13.539
<i>This is the worst start</i>
<i>a doubles pair can have!</i>

17:15.909 --> 17:16.919
Way too slow!

17:16.999 --> 17:18.539
You're lagging!

17:18.629 --> 17:19.539
Okay!

17:19.629 --> 17:21.709
Haryu is one tough dude.

17:21.799 --> 17:25.719
They did running, circuit training,
and footwork exercises before this.

17:25.799 --> 17:27.629
I'd be puking by now.

17:30.719 --> 17:32.059
You getting tired yet?

17:32.759 --> 17:34.179
Tell me if you need a break.

17:34.269 --> 17:36.099
I can't have you passing out.

17:36.189 --> 17:41.569
But… I've never seen Chii
whine about being too tired.

17:42.399 --> 17:46.949
I bet any guy she ends up dating
will be cool and tough like her.

17:48.409 --> 17:50.659
What shall we do next?

17:50.739 --> 17:52.869
Rotation practice. Five two-minute reps.

18:00.749 --> 18:02.959
You look like a mushroom
growing from the desk.

18:03.049 --> 18:04.839
And not a nutritious one.

18:04.919 --> 18:06.339
Shut up.

18:07.339 --> 18:12.349
<i>He's been physically working me</i>
<i>to death over the last week.</i>

18:12.429 --> 18:16.599
The classroom
is the only place I can rest.

18:16.679 --> 18:18.599
-What about home?
-I'm surprised.

18:19.599 --> 18:22.609
I didn't think Haryu Senpai
would work with you so much.

18:22.689 --> 18:25.319
He didn't seem like the team player type.

18:26.529 --> 18:28.319
So this Haryu Senpai

18:28.399 --> 18:31.659
is the guy who was walking home
with Chinatsu Senpai, right?

18:31.739 --> 18:33.119
So maybe he's like…

18:34.079 --> 18:36.369
"Don't make a move on my girl,"

18:36.449 --> 18:37.999
and messing with you.

18:38.709 --> 18:39.619
You're beneath me.

18:39.709 --> 18:42.709
<i>He's trying to make you give up</i>
<i>by putting you in your place.</i>

18:44.999 --> 18:47.879
The truth is, I do feel inferior to him.

18:47.969 --> 18:51.929
<i>Even though we do the same regimen,</i>
<i>his speed never slows down,</i>

18:52.009 --> 18:53.679
<i>and his shots are so accurate.</i>

18:54.969 --> 18:59.389
I bet badminton is fun when you have
such a great physical foundation.

18:59.479 --> 19:00.809
Badminton freak.

19:00.889 --> 19:01.809
Masochist.

19:01.899 --> 19:03.439
Those are insults.

19:10.449 --> 19:11.659
Taiki.

19:11.739 --> 19:13.159
Why did you hit a cross shot there?

19:13.989 --> 19:16.029
The opponent was setting up a backhand.

19:16.119 --> 19:18.789
A straight shot would've had
more speed too.

19:18.869 --> 19:21.369
You should've gone for it,
even in an awkward position.

19:22.749 --> 19:25.789
If you only settle for the easy shots,
you'll never improve.

19:25.879 --> 19:26.919
Right!

19:36.969 --> 19:39.679
I survived another day.

19:39.769 --> 19:40.889
Is this a battlefield?

19:42.189 --> 19:43.809
I need a drink.

19:43.899 --> 19:45.109
Of juice, right?

19:46.689 --> 19:47.689
Taiki!

19:49.029 --> 19:50.029
Good work today.

19:50.109 --> 19:51.279
You too!

19:52.239 --> 19:53.779
<i>Those are second-year students.</i>

19:53.859 --> 19:55.699
<i>And Chinatsu Senpai.</i>

20:05.039 --> 20:07.789
I actually got paired up
to play doubles with this guy.

20:08.959 --> 20:11.089
<i>You're talking about me here?</i>

20:11.169 --> 20:15.009
He's still a first-year
and absolutely garbage.

20:15.089 --> 20:17.299
He's still got so many holes in his game.

20:18.099 --> 20:22.059
He sucks at shot selection
and blunders when he rushes in to attack.

20:22.729 --> 20:24.899
<i>I can't deny any of it because it's true.</i>

20:24.979 --> 20:25.939
But…

20:26.479 --> 20:28.189
I think Taiki's going to be good.

20:30.279 --> 20:34.699
This kid doesn't fold at all,
no matter how much I bully him.

20:34.779 --> 20:39.449
Even when I subject him to stuff
that I think is a little too much,

20:39.529 --> 20:41.369
he actually finishes all of it.

20:41.449 --> 20:42.449
<i>What?</i>

20:42.539 --> 20:44.919
You're such a sadist.

20:44.999 --> 20:47.669
You're always tough
on people you believe in.

20:49.289 --> 20:51.169
-That's not true.
<i>-I'm glad.</i>

20:51.249 --> 20:53.549
<i>At least he sees some potential in me.</i>

20:53.629 --> 20:55.969
You ignore people you don't care about.

20:56.759 --> 20:58.759
You're doing great.

20:59.549 --> 21:02.969
Just the other day, you know
that first-year I'm looking after?

21:05.559 --> 21:09.819
<i>It's nice being acknowledged</i>
<i>by the older students.</i>

21:11.979 --> 21:14.609
I had a message from my girlfriend.

21:14.689 --> 21:16.239
Girlfriend, huh?

21:17.819 --> 21:20.279
You have a girlfriend?

21:20.949 --> 21:23.749
-Yeah, since last week.
-Last week?

21:25.369 --> 21:29.709
I liked her for a long time,
but she's in show business.

21:30.379 --> 21:34.129
I was just about to give up
when she asked me out.

21:35.879 --> 21:37.259
She's so cool.

21:37.929 --> 21:41.849
She's been working hard
chasing her dream since she was little.

21:43.429 --> 21:45.889
Chii, thanks for the other day.

21:45.979 --> 21:48.769
I would've felt awkward
going to buy makeup on my own.

21:48.849 --> 21:50.229
Don't mention it.

21:51.649 --> 21:55.029
<i>He was just toying with me</i>
<i>this whole time!</i>

21:56.399 --> 21:59.529
Looks like it'll be a while
before you get a girlfriend.

22:02.369 --> 22:04.739
<i>Nobody asked you!</i>

23:31.039 --> 23:36.039
