00:02.586 --> 00:05.756
<i>Chinatsu Senpai and Haryu Senpai?</i>

00:09.306 --> 00:12.096
I'm sure they're just friends!

00:12.186 --> 00:14.396
I mean, we're walking home together too!

00:15.266 --> 00:16.646
You're right!

00:16.726 --> 00:18.896
Walking home together is just normal!

00:18.976 --> 00:20.146
Exactly.

00:20.986 --> 00:22.316
Yeah, exactly!

00:25.736 --> 00:26.736
Wha?!

00:27.236 --> 00:28.946
They're both superstars after all.

00:29.036 --> 00:29.906
Well…

00:30.656 --> 00:34.746
They're in the same class,
and they sit together.

00:34.826 --> 00:37.416
Plus, they were both selected
to be class reps.

00:37.956 --> 00:40.796
-You're using foreign words.
-Not your world, huh?

00:40.876 --> 00:42.296
SAME CLASS, SIT TOGETHER, BOTH REPS

00:42.376 --> 00:44.506
Don't worry about it.

00:44.586 --> 00:48.136
Chinatsu Senpai said
she wanted to focus on basketball anyway.

00:48.216 --> 00:49.556
Maybe.

00:49.636 --> 00:53.306
But you can't stop yourself
from falling in love!

00:53.386 --> 00:55.266
You've got a point there.

00:56.226 --> 00:58.566
Who actually says that in real life?

01:03.316 --> 01:06.566

EPISODE 3
CHII

02:32.866 --> 02:35.326
How's the team looking this year?

02:35.406 --> 02:38.536
Our leading talents are
the third-years plus Haryu.

02:39.286 --> 02:41.626
<i>I guess Haryu's on another level?</i>

02:41.706 --> 02:45.296
<i>He's got the potential</i>
<i>to compete on the national stage.</i>

02:45.376 --> 02:48.796
But personally,
I've got high hopes for him too.

02:54.006 --> 02:56.056
Sorry about the ball!

02:58.266 --> 02:59.636
<i>Chinatsu Senpai!</i>

03:01.186 --> 03:05.066
<i>Looking at her</i>
<i>just reminds me of yesterday.</i>

03:06.226 --> 03:07.566
-Okay, then.
-Wait!

03:08.396 --> 03:10.566
When do you get off practice today?

03:12.116 --> 03:14.076
I forgot my house key.

03:14.156 --> 03:16.326
And your folks said they'd be out.

03:17.246 --> 03:18.246
At 7:00.

03:18.326 --> 03:22.326
<i>-Wait, what if someone overhears us?</i>
-My practice ends at 7:00 too.

03:23.166 --> 03:24.416
-Then--
-Chii.

03:24.496 --> 03:26.746
Does your team have an extra timer?

03:27.416 --> 03:28.666
-Ours is broken.
<i>-Chii?</i>

03:28.756 --> 03:30.216
I don't think we do.

03:30.296 --> 03:31.336
I figured.

03:31.426 --> 03:35.846
<i>Did he just call Chinatsu Senpai "Chii"?</i>

03:38.926 --> 03:40.846
<i>I'm so jealous!</i>

03:40.936 --> 03:43.856
<i>How close are they?</i>

03:43.936 --> 03:48.356
<i>Not only do I call her Chinatsu,</i>
<i>I even add the "senpai" honorific!</i>

03:48.436 --> 03:50.106
-Chii!
<i>-Plus!</i>

03:50.186 --> 03:51.356
-Yes?
<i>-She seems okay with it.</i>

03:51.446 --> 03:52.526
-Hey, Chii!
-Hi!

03:52.606 --> 03:55.236
<i>What would I have to do to call her that?</i>

03:55.326 --> 03:57.366
-May I call you Chii?
-Yes.

03:57.446 --> 03:58.326
INOMATA

03:58.406 --> 03:59.576
<i>Since they're classmates?</i>

03:59.656 --> 04:00.956
<i>Since they sit together?</i>

04:01.576 --> 04:05.336
<i>Or is it because</i>
<i>they're both superstars on their teams?</i>

04:09.796 --> 04:11.006
<i>I'm so lame.</i>

04:12.006 --> 04:14.256
<i>There's no point dwelling on this.</i>

04:15.046 --> 04:16.676
<i>There's nothing I can do.</i>

04:16.756 --> 04:19.766
<i>I can never be the same grade as her.</i>

04:20.516 --> 04:23.016
<i>Even if she told me I could call her Chii,</i>

04:23.556 --> 04:24.766
<i>I couldn't.</i>

04:25.646 --> 04:27.016
<i>If we didn't live together…</i>

04:27.686 --> 04:30.026
<i>if we weren't in such close proximity…</i>

04:30.686 --> 04:32.606
<i>I wouldn't be struggling with this.</i>

04:35.696 --> 04:37.776
Chi… na… tsu--

04:37.866 --> 04:39.536
-I'm home.
-Senpai!

04:40.406 --> 04:41.616
What's wrong?

04:41.696 --> 04:42.786
It's nothing.

04:42.866 --> 04:45.916
<i>I'm such a creep!</i>

04:45.996 --> 04:48.796
<i>Lame plus creep equals me!</i>

04:51.376 --> 04:53.836
You got home fast.

04:55.636 --> 04:57.096
When I was heading home,

04:57.176 --> 05:00.056
the badminton players
were just going into their clubroom.

05:00.926 --> 05:04.306
You said practice ended at 7:00,
but I guess it ran long.

05:05.596 --> 05:07.306
<i>What is wrong with me?</i>

05:08.896 --> 05:10.976
<i>All she did was say "badminton players,"</i>

05:11.566 --> 05:14.566
<i>and all I'm thinking is that she means</i>
<i>Haryu Senpai.</i>

05:15.656 --> 05:17.906
-Sorry, I'll go to my room.
-Wait.

05:20.536 --> 05:21.486
Sorry.

05:22.366 --> 05:24.326
I wanted to ask you something.

05:25.286 --> 05:27.326
I'll be embarrassed
if I'm wrong about this.

05:28.166 --> 05:30.086
But did you run home?

05:30.916 --> 05:34.086
I noticed you sweating,
so I thought maybe you did.

05:34.166 --> 05:35.716
Is that because

05:35.796 --> 05:37.926
I went home earlier than you

05:38.006 --> 05:40.716
<i>and you didn't want</i>
<i>to keep me waiting outside?</i>

05:44.096 --> 05:46.346
<i>-How did she notice that?</i>
-I did wait at school.

05:46.436 --> 05:50.106
<i>All I've done is worry about</i>
<i>what to call her.</i>

05:51.266 --> 05:54.236
<i>But knowing how carefully</i>
<i>she was watching me,</i>

05:54.316 --> 05:57.276
<i>makes me so happy that</i>
<i>I don't care about that anymore.</i>

05:57.356 --> 05:58.606
If you did,

06:00.116 --> 06:01.866
nice save.

06:04.446 --> 06:06.496
No, you're wrong!

06:06.576 --> 06:09.626
I just thought I'd squeeze
in training on the way home!

06:10.666 --> 06:12.956
You know, I think I'll go on another run!

06:16.966 --> 06:20.216
<i>This living situation</i>
<i>is just messing with my head.</i>

06:20.716 --> 06:23.256
<i>I'm no match for him anyway.</i>

06:23.966 --> 06:27.936
<i>It doesn't matter who she's with,</i>
<i>or what they call her.</i>

06:28.016 --> 06:30.476
<i>If I start worrying about that,</i>
<i>I'll go crazy.</i>

06:30.556 --> 06:33.396
<i>Right now, I need to focus</i>
<i>on the intradepartmental matches.</i>

06:34.646 --> 06:38.396
<i>But hearing him call her "Chii"</i>
<i>might still get to me.</i>

06:40.986 --> 06:42.906
In! Game! Inomata!

06:43.576 --> 06:46.246
You won again? You're on a roll.

06:46.326 --> 06:47.406
Yeah.

06:48.076 --> 06:50.876
But I've basically only faced first-years.

06:50.956 --> 06:53.626
I haven't played any starters yet.

06:54.246 --> 06:55.666
Besides…

06:55.756 --> 06:58.666
It looks like Haryu Senpai
won every match.

06:59.626 --> 07:01.136
That reminds me.

07:01.216 --> 07:04.176
What was the deal
with Chinatsu Senpai and Haryu Senpai?

07:04.256 --> 07:05.426
About that…

07:06.266 --> 07:08.306
It doesn't matter what's between them,

07:08.386 --> 07:10.846
I won't let it get to me anymore!

07:10.936 --> 07:12.766
Sounds like you already failed.

07:12.856 --> 07:14.186
Oh, well.

07:17.276 --> 07:20.946
I feel weird being a senpai.

07:21.696 --> 07:24.156
-I don't care!
-Then why are you turning around?

07:24.986 --> 07:27.446
The badminton team
is running scrimmages, right?

07:27.536 --> 07:29.996
Yeah, and he's won all his matches.

07:30.076 --> 07:31.366
Only so far.

07:31.456 --> 07:32.826
So modest.

07:32.916 --> 07:34.746
We still have more games.

07:34.836 --> 07:35.916
It's just the start.

07:35.996 --> 07:37.706
I see. Good luck.

07:37.796 --> 07:39.416
Thanks.

07:39.506 --> 07:40.926
I don't care.

07:41.006 --> 07:43.466
You two have been awful chummy lately.

07:44.256 --> 07:46.506
You've been hanging out with Kano a lot.

07:46.596 --> 07:48.716
We do sit next to each other in class.

07:48.806 --> 07:50.806
Yeah? Is that all?

07:50.886 --> 07:52.136
-That's all.
-He's melting.

07:52.226 --> 07:54.226
We're both busy with sports.

07:54.306 --> 07:55.476
But…

07:56.356 --> 07:59.486
there's something nice
about seeing a girl work hard.

07:59.566 --> 08:02.066
-Wait, are you saying…?
-No.

08:04.566 --> 08:05.736
<i>Oh, boy.</i>

08:05.826 --> 08:07.946
<i>This is some bad timing.</i>

08:10.576 --> 08:12.496
Love-all. Play.

08:16.586 --> 08:17.996
In. Five-one.

08:18.086 --> 08:20.416
Haryu's dictating the pace.

08:20.506 --> 08:22.296
He doesn't let you attack.

08:22.376 --> 08:24.006
He's like a brick wall.

08:24.716 --> 08:28.346
Is he okay? This looks really one-sided.

08:28.426 --> 08:29.516
What's he gonna do?

08:29.596 --> 08:31.226
They're on different levels.

08:31.306 --> 08:33.846
And he has a whole year
of experience over him.

08:36.606 --> 08:37.766
<i>This has to be tough.</i>

08:38.936 --> 08:41.526
<i>Facing an opponent</i>
<i>who's close to his crush.</i>

08:41.606 --> 08:44.276
<i>Someone who might even like her too.</i>

08:45.566 --> 08:48.076
<i>Plus, he's closer to achieving his goals.</i>

08:48.826 --> 08:51.366
<i>With such a clear display of dominance,</i>

08:51.446 --> 08:54.166
<i>it's like he's being told</i>
<i>to give up on both.</i>

08:59.706 --> 09:01.876
-Natsu!
-Coming!

09:05.546 --> 09:06.886
In. Eleven-four.

09:06.966 --> 09:09.466
Looks like another win for Haryu.

09:09.556 --> 09:12.386
Man, he's strong.
Can someone beat him already?

09:14.806 --> 09:17.186
You okay? Drink some water.

09:17.266 --> 09:18.226
Hey.

09:19.686 --> 09:21.646
Wasn't I super close on that last one?

09:22.896 --> 09:24.986
I was slow getting back in position.

09:25.656 --> 09:27.906
I have trouble staying active.

09:27.986 --> 09:29.276
You seem charged up.

09:30.486 --> 09:31.906
I got my run in before this.

09:31.986 --> 09:33.786
Not that.

09:33.866 --> 09:35.706
I thought you'd be more bothered.

09:35.786 --> 09:37.166
Like, about what happened earlier.

09:41.376 --> 09:45.256
I do have to thank Chinatsu Senpai
for motivating me even more.

09:46.376 --> 09:50.926
I never want to use her
as an excuse for when I lose.

09:52.056 --> 09:55.426
It's not like I play badminton
only for her sake.

09:56.226 --> 09:57.476
Deep down,

09:58.266 --> 09:59.516
I just love badminton.

10:00.726 --> 10:02.016
Taiki. Clock's ticking.

10:02.106 --> 10:02.936
Coming!

10:03.726 --> 10:05.236
Still, I need to adjust.

10:18.746 --> 10:20.246
<i>I decided I'm going for it.</i>

10:20.876 --> 10:22.666
<i>I have to keep pushing forward.</i>

10:25.716 --> 10:26.876
<i>One step at a time.</i>

10:27.466 --> 10:29.256
Nice return.

10:29.336 --> 10:30.506
But he hit it back.

10:30.586 --> 10:31.846
Hang in there, Taiki!

10:31.926 --> 10:32.756
<i>One step.</i>

10:34.386 --> 10:35.266
It's up.

10:45.106 --> 10:46.606
Close one.

10:46.686 --> 10:48.276
You started rallying.

10:48.946 --> 10:51.026
But you should be happy.

10:51.656 --> 10:53.576
You may have lost to Haryu Senpai,

10:53.656 --> 10:55.906
but that performance
will get you on the team.

10:59.416 --> 11:01.246
You don't look happy.

11:01.326 --> 11:02.916
I mean, I lost.

11:03.706 --> 11:06.666
And those points I got
in the second half felt scrappy.

11:07.206 --> 11:10.426
He dictated the pace
throughout the whole match.

11:10.506 --> 11:11.336
BURNABLE TRASH

11:11.426 --> 11:13.926
I knew that Haryu Senpai was tough.

11:15.466 --> 11:17.216
But I'm still frustrated I lost.

11:19.516 --> 11:21.436
You hear that?

11:21.516 --> 11:23.186
That little punk.

11:23.266 --> 11:25.896
I'm the one who's frustrated.

11:25.976 --> 11:27.896
Why? You won.

11:29.856 --> 11:31.276
Because at the end…

11:32.866 --> 11:34.826
What? You can't leave me hanging!

11:34.906 --> 11:36.366
Come on, tell me!

11:37.906 --> 11:40.866
<i>Of course it's not just going to work out.</i>

11:40.956 --> 11:42.786
<i>I was facing Haryu Senpai after all.</i>

11:43.416 --> 11:48.086
<i>He's got me beat</i>
<i>in technique, speed, and power.</i>

11:48.166 --> 11:50.626
<i>I need to play more aggressively.</i>

11:51.376 --> 11:53.836
<i>And read my opponent for better placement.</i>

11:53.926 --> 11:55.796
<i>I have to smash any easy shots.</i>

11:56.636 --> 11:59.176
<i>I need to build more experience</i>
<i>to pull that off.</i>

11:59.806 --> 12:01.846
<i>I'm not practicing enough at all.</i>

12:01.936 --> 12:02.936
Taiki!

12:04.856 --> 12:05.856
Follow me!

12:05.936 --> 12:06.936
Chinatsu Senpai?

12:07.016 --> 12:09.356
The sun will set soon. Come on, hurry up!

12:09.436 --> 12:11.946
Wait, where are we going?

12:12.026 --> 12:13.196
Someplace nice!

12:16.406 --> 12:19.496
I mean, I guess it's nice.

12:19.576 --> 12:21.076
But why the park?

12:21.786 --> 12:23.246
Well…

12:23.326 --> 12:26.496
Ta-da! I borrowed these.

12:27.876 --> 12:30.006
Why did you borrow badminton rackets?

12:30.626 --> 12:32.626
You said we should play sometime.

12:34.216 --> 12:35.966
<i>She remembered!</i>

12:36.466 --> 12:40.886
Besides, I figured you'd want
to practice some more.

12:40.976 --> 12:44.896
I'm usually most motivated
right after a game.

12:44.976 --> 12:47.396
I thought you might be the same.

12:48.066 --> 12:51.816
<i>Having someone</i>
<i>who understands how you feel</i>

12:52.526 --> 12:53.896
<i>is really nice.</i>

12:54.406 --> 12:55.406
Ready?

12:59.946 --> 13:01.286
You can't even hit it?

13:01.366 --> 13:03.656
No, I'm just not good at serves!

13:04.866 --> 13:07.286
You're moving your left hand too much.

13:07.376 --> 13:10.496
The left hand just drops it
and the racket does the rest.

13:15.176 --> 13:17.136
That was perfect advice!

13:17.216 --> 13:18.596
You're acting too surprised.

13:18.676 --> 13:22.216
But this will just be practice for me.

13:22.306 --> 13:23.806
You should do smashes.

13:23.886 --> 13:25.096
It's fine.

13:25.186 --> 13:26.726
I hit enough during the match.

13:26.806 --> 13:30.226
I was watching your match against Haryu.

13:31.186 --> 13:33.146
Please erase that from your memory.

13:33.236 --> 13:34.236
Why?

13:34.316 --> 13:36.276
Because it's embarrassing.

13:36.356 --> 13:37.486
Since I lost.

13:37.566 --> 13:38.906
It's not embarrassing.

13:38.986 --> 13:41.616
You started landing
those smashes towards the end.

13:41.696 --> 13:42.746
Yeah, but…

13:43.536 --> 13:46.746
<i>Besides, at the interval</i>
<i>of the second game,</i>

13:46.826 --> 13:48.536
<i>it was eleven-four.</i>

13:48.626 --> 13:53.126
And in the time it took him
to score another 10 points to get to 21,

13:53.206 --> 13:55.586
you scored 11 points.

13:56.176 --> 13:57.006
What?

13:59.716 --> 14:01.596
But a loss is a loss!

14:02.386 --> 14:05.556
He totally outplayed me in the first half.

14:05.636 --> 14:07.686
It doesn't matter how much
I scored the second half.

14:07.766 --> 14:08.846
I still lost.

14:13.776 --> 14:15.486
What are you laughing at?

14:15.566 --> 14:16.606
Sorry.

14:17.276 --> 14:19.866
You really hate losing, don't you?

14:19.946 --> 14:21.736
Don't swing with your upper body!

14:21.826 --> 14:22.906
Use your legs!

14:22.986 --> 14:23.946
Yes, sir!

14:24.696 --> 14:26.656
<i>Whenever someone gives you instructions,</i>

14:26.746 --> 14:29.376
<i>you work on it</i>
<i>all throughout morning practice.</i>

14:30.036 --> 14:34.126
Even during your match against Haryu,
you never gave up.

14:34.206 --> 14:36.876
That's why you scored in the second half.

14:37.876 --> 14:39.386
So don't worry.

14:41.426 --> 14:44.096
You'll be fine!

14:45.806 --> 14:47.636
<i>Being so untalented,</i>

14:47.726 --> 14:51.896
<i>it's hard for me to believe in myself.</i>

14:53.686 --> 14:54.646
I'll win next time.

14:55.726 --> 14:56.736
That's the spirit!

14:58.146 --> 15:02.656
<i>But I can easily believe</i>
<i>anything the person I like says.</i>

15:05.736 --> 15:06.906
YUKIKO

15:08.616 --> 15:10.076
It's from Yukiko.

15:10.166 --> 15:11.036
My mom?

15:11.126 --> 15:13.206
She's asking what time we'll be home.

15:14.376 --> 15:15.376
<i>"Chii"?</i>

15:15.876 --> 15:18.126
<i>Is that from Haryu Senpai?</i>

15:18.216 --> 15:20.296
<i>Don't tell me he gave that to her.</i>

15:20.926 --> 15:22.136
Oh, this?

15:22.216 --> 15:24.216
They're from my classmates.

15:24.926 --> 15:27.216
They call me "Chii" in class.

15:28.676 --> 15:31.976
<i>So it wasn't a pet name</i>
<i>only Haryu Senpai uses.</i>

15:34.056 --> 15:37.226
<i>Chinatsu Senpai has always been</i>
<i>so approachable.</i>

15:37.316 --> 15:40.316
<i>Maybe she really isn't interested</i>
<i>in any kind of romance right now.</i>

15:41.696 --> 15:43.446
Ready to go?

15:43.526 --> 15:45.026
Go on ahead without me.

15:46.116 --> 15:48.496
There will be a lot of people around…

15:49.406 --> 15:52.416
and while it might not bother you at all,

15:52.496 --> 15:56.206
it's a little embarrassing to walk back
to the same house with a girl.

15:57.456 --> 15:59.296
I'll do a few more practice swings.

16:08.266 --> 16:11.516
<i>"It might not bother you," huh?</i>

16:14.346 --> 16:16.476
<i>So that's how it seems to him.</i>

16:21.276 --> 16:23.196
EIMEI PRIVATE HIGH SCHOOL

16:23.946 --> 16:25.696
What? Why?

16:26.486 --> 16:28.946
DOUBLES
HARYU AND INOMATA

16:29.696 --> 16:32.456
I'm playing doubles with Haryu Senpai?

16:33.166 --> 16:36.706
But I'm trying to take him down.

16:36.786 --> 16:38.046
Yeah.

16:38.126 --> 16:40.956
Going to nationals
with your romantic rival sounds awkward.

16:42.666 --> 16:45.676
Even disregarding the fact
I like Chinatsu Senpai, I--

16:45.756 --> 16:46.966
Taiki.

16:47.676 --> 16:48.966
Let's practice.

16:49.056 --> 16:50.466
Okay.

16:51.386 --> 16:54.976
You'll be following a regimen
I come up with for the time being.

16:55.056 --> 16:56.646
<i>Thank goodness.</i>

16:56.726 --> 16:59.016
<i>It doesn't seem like he overheard that.</i>

16:59.106 --> 16:59.976
So…

17:01.316 --> 17:03.986
you like Chinatsu Kano, huh?

17:07.026 --> 17:08.616
How interesting.

17:09.576 --> 17:13.496
<i>This is the worst start</i>
<i>a doubles pair can have!</i>

17:15.866 --> 17:16.876
Way too slow!

17:16.956 --> 17:18.496
You're lagging!

17:18.586 --> 17:19.496
Okay!

17:19.586 --> 17:21.666
Haryu is one tough dude.

17:21.756 --> 17:25.676
They did running, circuit training,
and footwork exercises before this.

17:25.756 --> 17:27.586
I'd be puking by now.

17:30.676 --> 17:32.016
You getting tired yet?

17:32.716 --> 17:34.136
Tell me if you need a break.

17:34.226 --> 17:36.056
I can't have you passing out.

17:36.146 --> 17:41.526
But… I've never seen Chii
whine about being too tired.

17:42.356 --> 17:46.906
I bet any guy she ends up dating
will be cool and tough like her.

17:48.366 --> 17:50.616
What shall we do next?

17:50.696 --> 17:52.826
Rotation practice. Five two-minute reps.

18:00.706 --> 18:02.916
You look like a mushroom
growing from the desk.

18:03.006 --> 18:04.796
And not a nutritious one.

18:04.876 --> 18:06.296
Shut up.

18:07.296 --> 18:12.306
<i>He's been physically working me</i>
<i>to death over the last week.</i>

18:12.386 --> 18:16.556
The classroom
is the only place I can rest.

18:16.636 --> 18:18.556
-What about home?
-I'm surprised.

18:19.556 --> 18:22.566
I didn't think Haryu Senpai
would work with you so much.

18:22.646 --> 18:25.276
He didn't seem like the team player type.

18:26.486 --> 18:28.276
So this Haryu Senpai

18:28.356 --> 18:31.616
is the guy who was walking home
with Chinatsu Senpai, right?

18:31.696 --> 18:33.076
So maybe he's like…

18:34.036 --> 18:36.326
"Don't make a move on my girl,"

18:36.406 --> 18:37.956
and messing with you.

18:38.666 --> 18:39.576
You're beneath me.

18:39.666 --> 18:42.666
<i>He's trying to make you give up</i>
<i>by putting you in your place.</i>

18:44.956 --> 18:47.836
The truth is, I do feel inferior to him.

18:47.926 --> 18:51.886
<i>Even though we do the same regimen,</i>
<i>his speed never slows down,</i>

18:51.966 --> 18:53.636
<i>and his shots are so accurate.</i>

18:54.926 --> 18:59.346
I bet badminton is fun when you have
such a great physical foundation.

18:59.436 --> 19:00.766
Badminton freak.

19:00.846 --> 19:01.766
Masochist.

19:01.856 --> 19:03.396
Those are insults.

19:10.406 --> 19:11.616
Taiki.

19:11.696 --> 19:13.116
Why did you hit a cross shot there?

19:13.946 --> 19:15.986
The opponent was setting up a backhand.

19:16.076 --> 19:18.746
A straight shot would've had
more speed too.

19:18.826 --> 19:21.326
You should've gone for it,
even in an awkward position.

19:22.706 --> 19:25.746
If you only settle for the easy shots,
you'll never improve.

19:25.836 --> 19:26.876
Right!

19:36.926 --> 19:39.636
I survived another day.

19:39.726 --> 19:40.846
Is this a battlefield?

19:42.146 --> 19:43.766
I need a drink.

19:43.856 --> 19:45.066
Of juice, right?

19:46.646 --> 19:47.646
Taiki!

19:48.986 --> 19:49.986
Good work today.

19:50.066 --> 19:51.236
You too!

19:52.196 --> 19:53.736
<i>Those are second-year students.</i>

19:53.816 --> 19:55.656
<i>And Chinatsu Senpai.</i>

20:04.996 --> 20:07.746
I actually got paired up
to play doubles with this guy.

20:08.916 --> 20:11.046
<i>You're talking about me here?</i>

20:11.126 --> 20:14.966
He's still a first-year
and absolutely garbage.

20:15.046 --> 20:17.256
He's still got so many holes in his game.

20:18.056 --> 20:22.016
He sucks at shot selection
and blunders when he rushes in to attack.

20:22.686 --> 20:24.856
<i>I can't deny any of it because it's true.</i>

20:24.936 --> 20:25.896
But…

20:26.436 --> 20:28.146
I think Taiki's going to be good.

20:30.236 --> 20:34.656
This kid doesn't fold at all,
no matter how much I bully him.

20:34.736 --> 20:39.406
Even when I subject him to stuff
that I think is a little too much,

20:39.486 --> 20:41.326
he actually finishes all of it.

20:41.406 --> 20:42.406
<i>What?</i>

20:42.496 --> 20:44.876
You're such a sadist.

20:44.956 --> 20:47.626
You're always tough
on people you believe in.

20:49.246 --> 20:51.126
-That's not true.
<i>-I'm glad.</i>

20:51.206 --> 20:53.506
<i>At least he sees some potential in me.</i>

20:53.586 --> 20:55.926
You ignore people you don't care about.

20:56.716 --> 20:58.716
You're doing great.

20:59.506 --> 21:02.926
Just the other day, you know
that first-year I'm looking after?

21:05.516 --> 21:09.776
<i>It's nice being acknowledged</i>
<i>by the older students.</i>

21:11.936 --> 21:14.566
I had a message from my girlfriend.

21:14.646 --> 21:16.196
Girlfriend, huh?

21:17.776 --> 21:20.236
You have a girlfriend?

21:20.906 --> 21:23.706
-Yeah, since last week.
-Last week?

21:25.326 --> 21:29.666
I liked her for a long time,
but she's in show business.

21:30.336 --> 21:34.086
I was just about to give up
when she asked me out.

21:35.836 --> 21:37.216
She's so cool.

21:37.886 --> 21:41.806
She's been working hard
chasing her dream since she was little.

21:43.386 --> 21:45.846
Chii, thanks for the other day.

21:45.936 --> 21:48.726
I would've felt awkward
going to buy makeup on my own.

21:48.806 --> 21:50.186
Don't mention it.

21:51.606 --> 21:54.986
<i>He was just toying with me</i>
<i>this whole time!</i>

21:56.356 --> 21:59.486
Looks like it'll be a while
before you get a girlfriend.

22:02.326 --> 22:04.696
<i>Nobody asked you!</i>

23:30.996 --> 23:35.996
