00:04.925 --> 00:06.291
Ms. Kano!

00:06.385 --> 00:08.377
Did she go already?

00:08.470 --> 00:09.753
What's wrong?

00:09.847 --> 00:11.296
She forgot her phone.

00:12.099 --> 00:13.841
I can get that to her.

00:18.272 --> 00:20.013
<i>She lent me her umbrella after all.</i>

00:20.691 --> 00:22.307
<i>It's the least I can do.</i>

00:25.404 --> 00:26.395
<i>There she is!</i>

00:31.410 --> 00:34.069
INOMATA

00:39.168 --> 00:42.160
<i>Why is Chinatsu Senpai at Taiki's house?</i>

00:47.676 --> 00:49.793
<i>I should go home for now.</i>

00:50.554 --> 00:52.379
<i>I'll ask him tomorrow at school.</i>

01:03.692 --> 01:07.853
Hey, Taiki Inomata! What's going on here?

01:08.697 --> 01:09.813
Hina?!

01:10.490 --> 01:13.942
Why is "Eimei it girl" Chinatsu Kano

01:14.036 --> 01:17.613
entering "Eimei potato"
Taiki Inomata's house,

01:17.706 --> 01:19.740
where he greets her with "welcome back"?!

01:19.833 --> 01:22.242
I demand an explanation!

01:37.309 --> 01:40.552

EPISODE 6
WISH ME LUCK

03:06.023 --> 03:07.222
The truth is…

03:08.108 --> 03:11.018
TAIKI
CHINATSU

03:11.695 --> 03:13.020
I see.

03:13.113 --> 03:19.276
So Chinatsu Senpai is living with you
while her parents are abroad.

03:19.870 --> 03:21.069
Sorry.

03:21.163 --> 03:23.905
I knew you were rooting for us
to get together,

03:23.999 --> 03:25.532
but I kept this from you.

03:26.376 --> 03:28.618
Honestly, I'm shocked.

03:29.296 --> 03:31.538
I thought you trusted me more.

03:32.924 --> 03:34.291
I'm sorry.

03:34.384 --> 03:37.127
I thought we were really good friends.

03:38.388 --> 03:41.965
I was all worried about you
falling for someone like Chinatsu Senpai…

03:42.809 --> 03:46.553
but here you are, going home and
having a great time together every day.

03:46.646 --> 03:48.305
JUMP

03:49.483 --> 03:51.058
Hina?

03:52.152 --> 03:54.311
I'll forgive you if you endure that
for five hours.

03:55.364 --> 03:58.690
This doesn't just involve you,
but Chinatsu Senpai too,

03:58.784 --> 04:01.318
so I get why
you wouldn't want to tell people.

04:02.162 --> 04:05.822
Plus, even when I said I'd help,
I haven't really done much.

04:07.834 --> 04:10.744
But you're still getting punished
because I'm pissed at you.

04:11.254 --> 04:12.079
Hina.

04:13.131 --> 04:14.081
Thanks.

04:16.843 --> 04:20.420
But your progress is pathetic considering
you've lived together for two months.

04:28.939 --> 04:31.306
<i>So, they're living together, huh?</i>

04:31.942 --> 04:34.851
<i>No wonder they've seemed so close lately.</i>

04:35.904 --> 04:38.188
<i>Taiki was always into her,</i>

04:38.281 --> 04:41.650
<i>but who'd live with a member</i>
<i>of the opposite sex if they disliked them?</i>

04:43.203 --> 04:44.111
<i>Which means…</i>

04:45.455 --> 04:46.363
Excuse me.

04:51.461 --> 04:53.662
<i>What the heck am I doing?</i>

04:58.468 --> 05:00.877
EIMEI PRIVATE HIGH SCHOOL

05:16.736 --> 05:19.563
Absolutely splendid, Ms. Chono!

05:19.656 --> 05:20.897
Let's go, superstar!

05:20.991 --> 05:22.149
Thank you.

05:22.242 --> 05:24.693
You'll make the top three at nationals
for sure!

05:24.786 --> 05:27.654
In fact, you could even win
the whole thing!

05:27.747 --> 05:29.448
Leave it to me.

05:29.541 --> 05:30.824
I, Hina Chono,

05:30.917 --> 05:34.411
will live up to my name
and dance beautifully like the butterfly.

05:34.504 --> 05:36.204
Okay, that's a little weird.

05:36.298 --> 05:37.414
But that was great.

05:38.216 --> 05:39.416
Keep it up, Hina.

05:40.051 --> 05:41.418
-She was perfect.
-Yeah.

05:41.511 --> 05:42.377
Hina?

05:43.471 --> 05:45.422
I'm going to take a little break.

05:53.773 --> 05:56.850
<i>I almost messed up one of the moves.</i>

05:56.943 --> 05:59.686
<i>That's why I was one beat</i>
<i>behind the next one.</i>

06:00.447 --> 06:03.690
<i>I need to dedicate more of my focus</i>
<i>to the small details</i>

06:03.783 --> 06:06.693
<i>until they're ingrained in my body.</i>

06:06.786 --> 06:09.279
<i>Everyone has high hopes for me.</i>

06:09.372 --> 06:11.198
<i>I need to meet their expectations.</i>

06:11.958 --> 06:14.034
<i>If I mess up on the main stage…</i>

06:18.548 --> 06:20.165
<i>Stop worrying.</i>

06:20.258 --> 06:22.459
<i>You're Hina Chono.</i>

06:38.318 --> 06:39.726
Whatcha doing?

06:39.819 --> 06:40.769
Hina!

06:40.862 --> 06:42.062
Nothing!

06:44.532 --> 06:46.107
More secrets, huh?

06:46.201 --> 06:47.400
No.

06:47.994 --> 06:49.861
I took a step, and my toenail dug into--

06:49.955 --> 06:52.280
Yuck! Stop! Shut up!

06:52.374 --> 06:54.366
That's why I said "nothing."

06:55.210 --> 06:56.993
Don't forget to disinfect it.

06:58.922 --> 07:00.080
A good luck bracelet?

07:00.966 --> 07:02.874
I didn't know you wore things like that.

07:02.968 --> 07:04.209
This is…!

07:06.888 --> 07:08.880
I got it from Chinatsu Senpai.

07:11.893 --> 07:13.426
Are you already dating?

07:14.229 --> 07:15.595
You've been hiding that too?

07:15.689 --> 07:17.639
This wasn't a romantic gift!

07:18.316 --> 07:21.893
It's a promise between like-minded souls
striving for nationals.

07:25.865 --> 07:27.232
This guy's totally lovesick.

07:27.325 --> 07:28.149
It's not like that!

07:30.203 --> 07:32.988
<i>"Like-minded souls</i>
<i>striving for the same goal," huh?</i>

07:33.081 --> 07:34.990
-Keep it up!
-Run!

07:35.083 --> 07:38.493
<i>Then I bet when practice gets tough,</i>

07:38.587 --> 07:41.329
<i>they'll start thinking of each other.</i>

07:41.840 --> 07:45.750
<i>Knowing that someone else</i>
<i>is working just as hard as they are…</i>

07:45.844 --> 07:47.085
Taiki!

07:48.346 --> 07:49.462
Stay focused!

07:50.098 --> 07:52.007
-Okay!
<i>-Encouraging each other…</i>

07:53.393 --> 07:56.011
<i>I bet that's the kind</i>
<i>of relationship they have.</i>

08:04.279 --> 08:06.313
<i>What am I crying for?</i>

08:06.865 --> 08:08.398
<i>Snap out of it.</i>

08:08.491 --> 08:10.775
<i>I'm getting all sensitive</i>
<i>before the tournament.</i>

08:11.953 --> 08:14.779
<i>I have to face my battles on my own.</i>

08:16.124 --> 08:19.117
<i>Because I'm fine… on my own.</i>

08:58.291 --> 08:59.407
Another mistake.

08:59.501 --> 09:01.076
She's had a lot lately.

09:02.003 --> 09:04.079
Are you not feeling well?

09:04.923 --> 09:08.333
Actually, I was up all night binging TV.

09:08.968 --> 09:10.585
Sleep is important.

09:10.679 --> 09:11.586
I'm sorry.

09:11.680 --> 09:13.296
She seems off.

09:13.390 --> 09:14.631
That's not like her.

09:15.266 --> 09:18.843
No matter how nervous she gets,
she usually delivers a flawless routine.

09:24.234 --> 09:26.601
Okay, she's feeling way off!

09:26.695 --> 09:29.229
What are you looking at? That's 3,000 yen!

09:29.864 --> 09:31.481
I suppose.

09:32.158 --> 09:34.401
Or maybe she's mad at you.

09:35.328 --> 09:37.987
<i>Okay, I should be in the clear.</i>

09:38.081 --> 09:40.365
<i>If Chinatsu Senpai sees Taiki</i>
<i>getting along with a girl,</i>

09:40.458 --> 09:43.076
<i>she might decide to back off.</i>

09:43.169 --> 09:46.037
<i>It'd be one thing</i>
<i>if they were only acquaintances,</i>

09:46.131 --> 09:49.249
<i>but since they're living together,</i>
<i>he doesn't need my help.</i>

09:50.427 --> 09:52.293
<i>I'd hate to get in the way.</i>

09:53.346 --> 09:55.088
Let's go answer nature's call!

09:55.682 --> 09:57.006
Don't yell that out!

09:57.100 --> 10:00.093
<i>We'll take a break</i>
<i>from being such close friends.</i>

10:01.980 --> 10:05.348
…so I apologized.
And she stacked <i>Jumps</i> on me.

10:05.442 --> 10:06.558
Say what now?

10:15.785 --> 10:18.486
Hina, why don't you take a break?

10:18.580 --> 10:21.197
You're trying to pack too much in
before the tournament.

10:23.293 --> 10:24.993
I'm totally fine!

10:25.086 --> 10:26.953
Like they say, failure leads to success!

10:27.046 --> 10:29.831
But I do need to charge my batteries.

10:35.013 --> 10:38.381
<i>Still, though, I know</i>
<i>everyone's worried about me.</i>

10:40.059 --> 10:41.426
<i>So pathetic.</i>

10:41.519 --> 10:44.262
<i>I'm always acting full of self-confidence.</i>

10:44.355 --> 10:45.847
<i>I need to pull it together.</i>

10:48.943 --> 10:50.602
BIOLOGY CLUB

10:50.695 --> 10:52.437
<i>Ugly boar.</i>

10:52.989 --> 10:54.355
Ms. Chono.

10:55.533 --> 10:56.608
Vice Principal!

10:56.701 --> 10:59.360
I saw your interview in the paper.

10:59.454 --> 11:02.489
You're not only brilliant
at rhythmic gymnastics,

11:02.582 --> 11:04.532
you answered those questions splendidly!

11:04.626 --> 11:06.159
Thank you.

11:06.252 --> 11:08.620
How are things going
with your routine lately?

11:09.214 --> 11:10.830
You have a tournament coming up.

11:10.924 --> 11:11.873
No problems at all!

11:11.966 --> 11:13.833
That's good to hear.

11:13.927 --> 11:16.628
Look how much self-discipline you have.

11:16.721 --> 11:19.797
I'd expect nothing less from
the great Hirohiko Chono's daughter.

11:19.891 --> 11:22.383
I mean, he's competed internationally,
after all!

11:23.770 --> 11:26.095
Will your father come visit
the school someday?

11:26.189 --> 11:28.139
We'd love for him to drop by!

11:28.233 --> 11:29.766
I'll talk to him.

11:29.859 --> 11:30.892
Please do!

11:30.985 --> 11:33.645
What an upstanding student!

11:34.239 --> 11:35.313
EXPECTATIONS
4TH PLACE

11:35.406 --> 11:37.857
<i>So many things piling up on me.</i>

11:37.951 --> 11:39.776
DAD - ARTICLE - CONCERNS - TRAINING

11:39.869 --> 11:42.862
<i>But I'm nothing special at all.</i>

11:43.540 --> 11:46.074
<i>Just an ordinary high school freshman.</i>

11:47.835 --> 11:49.285
<i>It's times like these</i>

11:50.004 --> 11:55.208
<i>when I just want to crack jokes</i>
<i>with a guy whose only mindset</i>

11:56.636 --> 11:58.545
<i>is plowing forward.</i>

12:01.140 --> 12:02.423
Keep it up!

12:25.832 --> 12:27.323
<i>That's right.</i>

12:28.042 --> 12:30.368
<i>I have to get through this on my own.</i>

13:15.423 --> 13:18.333
I'm glad she's back in her usual form.

13:18.426 --> 13:19.626
<i>Good.</i>

13:21.888 --> 13:23.838
<i>I didn't mess up today.</i>

13:24.766 --> 13:26.841
<i>I still have some concerns, but…</i>

13:26.934 --> 13:29.844
<i>If I can make adjustments</i>
<i>to pass the prefectural qualifiers</i>

13:29.937 --> 13:32.388
<i>and make it to nationals…</i>

13:32.482 --> 13:33.348
I forgot something!

13:33.983 --> 13:35.350
Let me grab it real quick.

13:43.826 --> 13:45.485
I'm sorry, are you okay?

13:45.578 --> 13:47.320
-What are you doing?
-I just…

13:50.416 --> 13:51.449
<i>It hurts.</i>

13:52.835 --> 13:54.535
<i>Did I twist it?</i>

13:54.629 --> 13:56.204
<i>Maybe I can tape it.</i>

13:56.839 --> 13:59.540
<i>But if I get distracted by the pain…</i>

14:00.343 --> 14:02.502
Are you actually okay?

14:03.388 --> 14:05.546
<i>I'm already off my game as it is.</i>

14:06.599 --> 14:07.632
<i>What do I do?</i>

14:08.726 --> 14:09.759
<i>What do I do?</i>

14:10.603 --> 14:11.844
<i>What do I do?</i>

14:13.856 --> 14:14.806
Can you stand?

14:20.405 --> 14:21.938
Is it your left ankle?

14:24.617 --> 14:26.317
Let's get you to the nurse.

14:26.411 --> 14:28.069
I can get there on my own.

14:28.162 --> 14:30.863
Hey, I'm okay, really.

14:30.957 --> 14:32.156
Right.

14:34.210 --> 14:37.286
Come on, what if Chinatsu Senpai
saw you like this?

14:37.380 --> 14:38.579
What?

14:38.673 --> 14:40.873
Who cares about that right now?!

14:42.176 --> 14:46.337
You're always acting
like the world revolves around you.

14:46.431 --> 14:49.048
But now you're worrying
about stupid stuff at a time like this.

14:49.142 --> 14:50.550
I'll go tell a teacher.

14:50.643 --> 14:52.093
Thanks.

14:53.021 --> 14:56.472
Right now,
it's okay to prioritize yourself.

14:59.819 --> 15:00.810
Come on, grab on.

15:01.487 --> 15:02.979
Ready?

15:04.824 --> 15:05.857
<i>Stop.</i>

15:08.036 --> 15:09.068
<i>I don't want this.</i>

15:13.875 --> 15:16.242
<i>I don't want to notice…</i>

15:21.090 --> 15:22.999
NURSE'S OFFICE

15:23.634 --> 15:25.501
It looks fine to me.

15:25.595 --> 15:28.004
It looks fine?

15:28.765 --> 15:31.299
You must have hit it when you fell.

15:31.392 --> 15:34.886
It's just bruised.
The pain should recede in a few minutes.

15:35.688 --> 15:39.891
Perhaps you're just a little on edge
about pain with the tournament coming up.

15:39.984 --> 15:42.310
Let's put some ice on it just to be safe.

15:43.988 --> 15:45.646
Drama queen.

15:45.740 --> 15:47.523
It's not my fault!

15:47.617 --> 15:49.400
There's a lot of pressure on me!

15:51.454 --> 15:54.405
I'm even having trouble sleeping.

15:54.499 --> 15:55.323
INOMATA COUNSELING

15:55.416 --> 15:57.784
I see. And when did those symptoms start?

15:58.753 --> 16:00.953
I want a new counselor.

16:01.047 --> 16:02.914
What's that, an improv prompt?

16:03.591 --> 16:06.292
I'm here to listen
until the pain goes away.

16:09.388 --> 16:11.422
Yeah, I'm Hirohiko Chono's kid, so what?

16:11.516 --> 16:13.591
Sure, I admire my dad.

16:13.684 --> 16:15.468
But my hard work has
nothing to do with him.

16:15.561 --> 16:18.346
I'm supposed to be great
just because he's represented Japan?

16:18.439 --> 16:19.347
It's all coming out.

16:19.440 --> 16:21.557
And Coach just smiles at me
without giving any advice.

16:25.154 --> 16:28.564
There's someone that I don't think
I can beat at this rate.

16:29.242 --> 16:30.817
This is a first.

16:30.910 --> 16:33.152
Hearing you say you can't win
in gymnastics.

16:36.582 --> 16:39.575
This is the first time
I've felt like this.

16:40.253 --> 16:42.537
The judge is totally obsessed with her.

16:43.673 --> 16:45.665
Are you saying they give her points

16:45.758 --> 16:47.959
for who she is, and not because
of her performance?

16:48.052 --> 16:50.253
I mean, the judge has got it bad for her.

16:50.346 --> 16:52.130
What a crappy judge!

16:52.223 --> 16:53.422
That pisses me off!

16:53.516 --> 16:55.716
Right? It pisses me off too.

16:58.187 --> 17:02.598
But to tell you the truth,
I totally get why they find her charming.

17:03.276 --> 17:05.184
<i>Not only is she spectacularly talented,</i>

17:05.278 --> 17:08.187
<i>she stays grounded</i>
<i>and always puts in the work.</i>

17:08.698 --> 17:11.274
Talk about intimidating.

17:11.367 --> 17:13.609
It makes me want to run away.

17:14.287 --> 17:16.112
But you won't.

17:17.373 --> 17:19.991
You're a natural-born fighter.

17:22.420 --> 17:26.038
I know you hate to lose,
and your pride won't allow it,

17:26.716 --> 17:30.585
but most of all, you won't
let yourself run without a fight.

17:32.305 --> 17:33.671
That's just who you are.

17:39.520 --> 17:40.928
Now I'm really pissed!

17:42.398 --> 17:46.017
There are plenty of things in the world
you're better off running from.

17:46.110 --> 17:47.935
I'm sorry I'm so ignorant.

17:49.655 --> 17:52.315
But you're not wrong.

17:54.911 --> 17:58.029
If you're going to make a commotion,
then get back to practice.

17:59.624 --> 18:00.823
Guess it's time to go.

18:01.709 --> 18:03.326
Is your ankle okay?

18:13.304 --> 18:14.587
It doesn't hurt anymore!

18:18.684 --> 18:21.385
Now you can't make any excuses
if you lose.

18:21.479 --> 18:22.678
I'm not going to lose.

18:26.734 --> 18:27.934
Taiki.

18:30.196 --> 18:31.312
Could you…

18:32.365 --> 18:33.356
wish me luck?

18:37.203 --> 18:38.361
Good luck!

18:46.462 --> 18:48.621
As if I need your support.

18:48.714 --> 18:50.081
You made me say it!

18:56.973 --> 18:59.382
EIMEI PRIVATE HIGH SCHOOL

19:06.983 --> 19:09.225
Congratulations, Ms. Chono!

19:09.318 --> 19:12.395
A well-deserved first place finish
at the prefectural qualifiers!

19:12.488 --> 19:15.147
-Great job!
-You did it!

19:17.201 --> 19:19.777
I feel stupid for ever worrying about her.

19:19.870 --> 19:22.655
It's nice that it all worked out, though.

19:23.291 --> 19:24.991
I mean, I'm happy for her.

19:27.378 --> 19:30.037
What are you looking at?
That's 10,000 yen.

19:30.131 --> 19:31.539
You upped the price?

19:32.466 --> 19:33.457
Just kidding.

19:34.010 --> 19:36.627
My charms haven't even begun to peak!

19:36.721 --> 19:38.671
You better keep a close eye on me.

19:41.767 --> 19:44.218
Okay, I definitely regret
worrying about her now.

19:46.439 --> 19:50.933
<i>From the outside looking in,</i>
<i>it's been a long time coming.</i>

19:51.777 --> 19:54.937
<i>Now, let's see how Chinatsu Senpai reacts.</i>

20:00.036 --> 20:02.069
-Good night.
-Good night.

20:02.163 --> 20:03.321
Night.

20:03.414 --> 20:04.697
This is delicious.

20:05.624 --> 20:08.951
<i>Practice has been</i>
<i>way more exhausting lately.</i>

20:09.045 --> 20:11.954
<i>But Hina made it to nationals.</i>

20:12.048 --> 20:14.457
<i>I need to follow her lead</i>
<i>and give it my all.</i>

20:16.802 --> 20:18.252
You're going to bed now?

20:18.346 --> 20:20.338
Yes. What about you?

20:20.431 --> 20:22.173
I'm heading down for water.

20:22.266 --> 20:23.466
I see.

20:24.977 --> 20:27.928
I ran into Chono
at the osteopathic clinic today.

20:28.814 --> 20:31.724
She didn't… say anything weird, did she?

20:31.817 --> 20:35.478
No, she just thanked me
for the umbrella I lent her.

20:36.197 --> 20:38.356
Thank you so much for the other day.

20:38.449 --> 20:41.233
Ever since, I've been carrying
a folding umbrella everywhere.

20:42.453 --> 20:43.361
I see.

20:43.996 --> 20:45.571
She's so amazing.

20:45.664 --> 20:49.200
Winning the prefectural qualifiers
as a first-year!

20:49.752 --> 20:52.620
Seems she wasn't satisfied, though.

20:53.464 --> 20:56.082
Something about her performance
not being perfect.

20:57.635 --> 20:59.835
<i>She's dead set on polishing it</i>
<i>for nationals</i>

20:59.929 --> 21:02.713
<i>so she can execute a flawless routine.</i>

21:03.808 --> 21:06.384
She's such a rhythmic gymnastics fangirl.

21:09.480 --> 21:11.889
Anyway, I'm off to bed.

21:12.691 --> 21:13.724
Good night.

21:13.818 --> 21:14.850
Good night.

21:18.489 --> 21:20.439
Can you believe it?

21:20.533 --> 21:22.900
He's such a badminton fanboy.

21:30.292 --> 21:32.868
<i>They make a good pair.</i>

21:35.381 --> 21:37.373
<i>At the very least, Chono seems to…</i>

21:38.259 --> 21:41.794
<i>If that's the case, I'm just in the way.</i>

21:42.596 --> 21:44.380
<i>A housemate of the opposite sex.</i>

21:50.229 --> 21:51.971
<i>I'm sorry, Chono.</i>

21:53.858 --> 21:55.433
<i>It's all for basketball.</i>

21:57.236 --> 22:00.563
<i>I promise it's only until I graduate.</i>

23:31.038 --> 23:36.033
