00:04.882 --> 00:06.248
Ms. Kano!

00:06.342 --> 00:08.334
Did she go already?

00:08.427 --> 00:09.710
What's wrong?

00:09.804 --> 00:11.253
She forgot her phone.

00:12.056 --> 00:13.798
I can get that to her.

00:18.229 --> 00:19.970
<i>She lent me her umbrella after all.</i>

00:20.648 --> 00:22.264
<i>It's the least I can do.</i>

00:25.361 --> 00:26.352
<i>There she is!</i>

00:31.367 --> 00:34.026
INOMATA

00:39.125 --> 00:42.117
<i>Why is Chinatsu Senpai at Taiki's house?</i>

00:47.633 --> 00:49.750
<i>I should go home for now.</i>

00:50.511 --> 00:52.336
<i>I'll ask him tomorrow at school.</i>

01:03.649 --> 01:07.810
Hey, Taiki Inomata! What's going on here?

01:08.654 --> 01:09.770
Hina?!

01:10.447 --> 01:13.899
Why is "Eimei it girl" Chinatsu Kano

01:13.993 --> 01:17.570
entering "Eimei potato"
Taiki Inomata's house,

01:17.663 --> 01:19.697
where he greets her with "welcome back"?!

01:19.790 --> 01:22.199
I demand an explanation!

01:37.266 --> 01:40.509

EPISODE 6
WISH ME LUCK

03:05.980 --> 03:07.179
The truth is…

03:08.065 --> 03:10.975
TAIKI
CHINATSU

03:11.652 --> 03:12.977
I see.

03:13.070 --> 03:19.233
So Chinatsu Senpai is living with you
while her parents are abroad.

03:19.827 --> 03:21.026
Sorry.

03:21.120 --> 03:23.862
I knew you were rooting for us
to get together,

03:23.956 --> 03:25.489
but I kept this from you.

03:26.333 --> 03:28.575
Honestly, I'm shocked.

03:29.253 --> 03:31.495
I thought you trusted me more.

03:32.881 --> 03:34.248
I'm sorry.

03:34.341 --> 03:37.084
I thought we were really good friends.

03:38.345 --> 03:41.922
I was all worried about you
falling for someone like Chinatsu Senpai…

03:42.766 --> 03:46.510
but here you are, going home and
having a great time together every day.

03:46.603 --> 03:48.262
JUMP

03:49.440 --> 03:51.015
Hina?

03:52.109 --> 03:54.268
I'll forgive you if you endure that
for five hours.

03:55.321 --> 03:58.647
This doesn't just involve you,
but Chinatsu Senpai too,

03:58.741 --> 04:01.275
so I get why
you wouldn't want to tell people.

04:02.119 --> 04:05.779
Plus, even when I said I'd help,
I haven't really done much.

04:07.791 --> 04:10.701
But you're still getting punished
because I'm pissed at you.

04:11.211 --> 04:12.036
Hina.

04:13.088 --> 04:14.038
Thanks.

04:16.800 --> 04:20.377
But your progress is pathetic considering
you've lived together for two months.

04:28.896 --> 04:31.263
<i>So, they're living together, huh?</i>

04:31.899 --> 04:34.808
<i>No wonder they've seemed so close lately.</i>

04:35.861 --> 04:38.145
<i>Taiki was always into her,</i>

04:38.238 --> 04:41.607
<i>but who'd live with a member</i>
<i>of the opposite sex if they disliked them?</i>

04:43.160 --> 04:44.068
<i>Which means…</i>

04:45.412 --> 04:46.320
Excuse me.

04:51.418 --> 04:53.619
<i>What the heck am I doing?</i>

04:58.425 --> 05:00.834
EIMEI PRIVATE HIGH SCHOOL

05:16.693 --> 05:19.520
Absolutely splendid, Ms. Chono!

05:19.613 --> 05:20.854
Let's go, superstar!

05:20.948 --> 05:22.106
Thank you.

05:22.199 --> 05:24.650
You'll make the top three at nationals
for sure!

05:24.743 --> 05:27.611
In fact, you could even win
the whole thing!

05:27.704 --> 05:29.405
Leave it to me.

05:29.498 --> 05:30.781
I, Hina Chono,

05:30.874 --> 05:34.368
will live up to my name
and dance beautifully like the butterfly.

05:34.461 --> 05:36.161
Okay, that's a little weird.

05:36.255 --> 05:37.371
But that was great.

05:38.173 --> 05:39.373
Keep it up, Hina.

05:40.008 --> 05:41.375
-She was perfect.
-Yeah.

05:41.468 --> 05:42.334
Hina?

05:43.428 --> 05:45.379
I'm going to take a little break.

05:53.730 --> 05:56.807
<i>I almost messed up one of the moves.</i>

05:56.900 --> 05:59.643
<i>That's why I was one beat</i>
<i>behind the next one.</i>

06:00.404 --> 06:03.647
<i>I need to dedicate more of my focus</i>
<i>to the small details</i>

06:03.740 --> 06:06.650
<i>until they're ingrained in my body.</i>

06:06.743 --> 06:09.236
<i>Everyone has high hopes for me.</i>

06:09.329 --> 06:11.155
<i>I need to meet their expectations.</i>

06:11.915 --> 06:13.991
<i>If I mess up on the main stage…</i>

06:18.505 --> 06:20.122
<i>Stop worrying.</i>

06:20.215 --> 06:22.416
<i>You're Hina Chono.</i>

06:38.275 --> 06:39.683
Whatcha doing?

06:39.776 --> 06:40.726
Hina!

06:40.819 --> 06:42.019
Nothing!

06:44.489 --> 06:46.064
More secrets, huh?

06:46.158 --> 06:47.357
No.

06:47.951 --> 06:49.818
I took a step, and my toenail dug into--

06:49.912 --> 06:52.237
Yuck! Stop! Shut up!

06:52.331 --> 06:54.323
That's why I said "nothing."

06:55.167 --> 06:56.950
Don't forget to disinfect it.

06:58.879 --> 07:00.037
A good luck bracelet?

07:00.923 --> 07:02.831
I didn't know you wore things like that.

07:02.925 --> 07:04.166
This is…!

07:06.845 --> 07:08.837
I got it from Chinatsu Senpai.

07:11.850 --> 07:13.383
Are you already dating?

07:14.186 --> 07:15.552
You've been hiding that too?

07:15.646 --> 07:17.596
This wasn't a romantic gift!

07:18.273 --> 07:21.850
It's a promise between like-minded souls
striving for nationals.

07:25.822 --> 07:27.189
This guy's totally lovesick.

07:27.282 --> 07:28.106
It's not like that!

07:30.160 --> 07:32.945
<i>"Like-minded souls</i>
<i>striving for the same goal," huh?</i>

07:33.038 --> 07:34.947
-Keep it up!
-Run!

07:35.040 --> 07:38.450
<i>Then I bet when practice gets tough,</i>

07:38.544 --> 07:41.286
<i>they'll start thinking of each other.</i>

07:41.797 --> 07:45.707
<i>Knowing that someone else</i>
<i>is working just as hard as they are…</i>

07:45.801 --> 07:47.042
Taiki!

07:48.303 --> 07:49.419
Stay focused!

07:50.055 --> 07:51.964
-Okay!
<i>-Encouraging each other…</i>

07:53.350 --> 07:55.968
<i>I bet that's the kind</i>
<i>of relationship they have.</i>

08:04.236 --> 08:06.270
<i>What am I crying for?</i>

08:06.822 --> 08:08.355
<i>Snap out of it.</i>

08:08.448 --> 08:10.732
<i>I'm getting all sensitive</i>
<i>before the tournament.</i>

08:11.910 --> 08:14.736
<i>I have to face my battles on my own.</i>

08:16.081 --> 08:19.074
<i>Because I'm fine… on my own.</i>

08:58.248 --> 08:59.364
Another mistake.

08:59.458 --> 09:01.033
She's had a lot lately.

09:01.960 --> 09:04.036
Are you not feeling well?

09:04.880 --> 09:08.290
Actually, I was up all night binging TV.

09:08.925 --> 09:10.542
Sleep is important.

09:10.636 --> 09:11.543
I'm sorry.

09:11.637 --> 09:13.253
She seems off.

09:13.347 --> 09:14.588
That's not like her.

09:15.223 --> 09:18.800
No matter how nervous she gets,
she usually delivers a flawless routine.

09:24.191 --> 09:26.558
Okay, she's feeling way off!

09:26.652 --> 09:29.186
What are you looking at? That's 3,000 yen!

09:29.821 --> 09:31.438
I suppose.

09:32.115 --> 09:34.358
Or maybe she's mad at you.

09:35.285 --> 09:37.944
<i>Okay, I should be in the clear.</i>

09:38.038 --> 09:40.322
<i>If Chinatsu Senpai sees Taiki</i>
<i>getting along with a girl,</i>

09:40.415 --> 09:43.033
<i>she might decide to back off.</i>

09:43.126 --> 09:45.994
<i>It'd be one thing</i>
<i>if they were only acquaintances,</i>

09:46.088 --> 09:49.206
<i>but since they're living together,</i>
<i>he doesn't need my help.</i>

09:50.384 --> 09:52.250
<i>I'd hate to get in the way.</i>

09:53.303 --> 09:55.045
Let's go answer nature's call!

09:55.639 --> 09:56.963
Don't yell that out!

09:57.057 --> 10:00.050
<i>We'll take a break</i>
<i>from being such close friends.</i>

10:01.937 --> 10:05.305
…so I apologized.
And she stacked <i>Jumps</i> on me.

10:05.399 --> 10:06.515
Say what now?

10:15.742 --> 10:18.443
Hina, why don't you take a break?

10:18.537 --> 10:21.154
You're trying to pack too much in
before the tournament.

10:23.250 --> 10:24.950
I'm totally fine!

10:25.043 --> 10:26.910
Like they say, failure leads to success!

10:27.003 --> 10:29.788
But I do need to charge my batteries.

10:34.970 --> 10:38.338
<i>Still, though, I know</i>
<i>everyone's worried about me.</i>

10:40.016 --> 10:41.383
<i>So pathetic.</i>

10:41.476 --> 10:44.219
<i>I'm always acting full of self-confidence.</i>

10:44.312 --> 10:45.804
<i>I need to pull it together.</i>

10:48.900 --> 10:50.559
BIOLOGY CLUB

10:50.652 --> 10:52.394
<i>Ugly boar.</i>

10:52.946 --> 10:54.312
Ms. Chono.

10:55.490 --> 10:56.565
Vice Principal!

10:56.658 --> 10:59.317
I saw your interview in the paper.

10:59.411 --> 11:02.446
You're not only brilliant
at rhythmic gymnastics,

11:02.539 --> 11:04.489
you answered those questions splendidly!

11:04.583 --> 11:06.116
Thank you.

11:06.209 --> 11:08.577
How are things going
with your routine lately?

11:09.171 --> 11:10.787
You have a tournament coming up.

11:10.881 --> 11:11.830
No problems at all!

11:11.923 --> 11:13.790
That's good to hear.

11:13.884 --> 11:16.585
Look how much self-discipline you have.

11:16.678 --> 11:19.754
I'd expect nothing less from
the great Hirohiko Chono's daughter.

11:19.848 --> 11:22.340
I mean, he's competed internationally,
after all!

11:23.727 --> 11:26.052
Will your father come visit
the school someday?

11:26.146 --> 11:28.096
We'd love for him to drop by!

11:28.190 --> 11:29.723
I'll talk to him.

11:29.816 --> 11:30.849
Please do!

11:30.942 --> 11:33.602
What an upstanding student!

11:34.196 --> 11:35.270
EXPECTATIONS
4TH PLACE

11:35.363 --> 11:37.814
<i>So many things piling up on me.</i>

11:37.908 --> 11:39.733
DAD - ARTICLE - CONCERNS - TRAINING

11:39.826 --> 11:42.819
<i>But I'm nothing special at all.</i>

11:43.497 --> 11:46.031
<i>Just an ordinary high school freshman.</i>

11:47.792 --> 11:49.242
<i>It's times like these</i>

11:49.961 --> 11:55.165
<i>when I just want to crack jokes</i>
<i>with a guy whose only mindset</i>

11:56.593 --> 11:58.502
<i>is plowing forward.</i>

12:01.097 --> 12:02.380
Keep it up!

12:25.789 --> 12:27.280
<i>That's right.</i>

12:27.999 --> 12:30.325
<i>I have to get through this on my own.</i>

13:15.380 --> 13:18.290
I'm glad she's back in her usual form.

13:18.383 --> 13:19.583
<i>Good.</i>

13:21.845 --> 13:23.795
<i>I didn't mess up today.</i>

13:24.723 --> 13:26.798
<i>I still have some concerns, but…</i>

13:26.891 --> 13:29.801
<i>If I can make adjustments</i>
<i>to pass the prefectural qualifiers</i>

13:29.894 --> 13:32.345
<i>and make it to nationals…</i>

13:32.439 --> 13:33.305
I forgot something!

13:33.940 --> 13:35.307
Let me grab it real quick.

13:43.783 --> 13:45.442
I'm sorry, are you okay?

13:45.535 --> 13:47.277
-What are you doing?
-I just…

13:50.373 --> 13:51.406
<i>It hurts.</i>

13:52.792 --> 13:54.492
<i>Did I twist it?</i>

13:54.586 --> 13:56.161
<i>Maybe I can tape it.</i>

13:56.796 --> 13:59.497
<i>But if I get distracted by the pain…</i>

14:00.300 --> 14:02.459
Are you actually okay?

14:03.345 --> 14:05.503
<i>I'm already off my game as it is.</i>

14:06.556 --> 14:07.589
<i>What do I do?</i>

14:08.683 --> 14:09.716
<i>What do I do?</i>

14:10.560 --> 14:11.801
<i>What do I do?</i>

14:13.813 --> 14:14.763
Can you stand?

14:20.362 --> 14:21.895
Is it your left ankle?

14:24.574 --> 14:26.274
Let's get you to the nurse.

14:26.368 --> 14:28.026
I can get there on my own.

14:28.119 --> 14:30.820
Hey, I'm okay, really.

14:30.914 --> 14:32.113
Right.

14:34.167 --> 14:37.243
Come on, what if Chinatsu Senpai
saw you like this?

14:37.337 --> 14:38.536
What?

14:38.630 --> 14:40.830
Who cares about that right now?!

14:42.133 --> 14:46.294
You're always acting
like the world revolves around you.

14:46.388 --> 14:49.005
But now you're worrying
about stupid stuff at a time like this.

14:49.099 --> 14:50.507
I'll go tell a teacher.

14:50.600 --> 14:52.050
Thanks.

14:52.978 --> 14:56.429
Right now,
it's okay to prioritize yourself.

14:59.776 --> 15:00.767
Come on, grab on.

15:01.444 --> 15:02.936
Ready?

15:04.781 --> 15:05.814
<i>Stop.</i>

15:07.993 --> 15:09.025
<i>I don't want this.</i>

15:13.832 --> 15:16.199
<i>I don't want to notice…</i>

15:21.047 --> 15:22.956
NURSE'S OFFICE

15:23.591 --> 15:25.458
It looks fine to me.

15:25.552 --> 15:27.961
It looks fine?

15:28.722 --> 15:31.256
You must have hit it when you fell.

15:31.349 --> 15:34.843
It's just bruised.
The pain should recede in a few minutes.

15:35.645 --> 15:39.848
Perhaps you're just a little on edge
about pain with the tournament coming up.

15:39.941 --> 15:42.267
Let's put some ice on it just to be safe.

15:43.945 --> 15:45.603
Drama queen.

15:45.697 --> 15:47.480
It's not my fault!

15:47.574 --> 15:49.357
There's a lot of pressure on me!

15:51.411 --> 15:54.362
I'm even having trouble sleeping.

15:54.456 --> 15:55.280
INOMATA COUNSELING

15:55.373 --> 15:57.741
I see. And when did those symptoms start?

15:58.710 --> 16:00.910
I want a new counselor.

16:01.004 --> 16:02.871
What's that, an improv prompt?

16:03.548 --> 16:06.249
I'm here to listen
until the pain goes away.

16:09.345 --> 16:11.379
Yeah, I'm Hirohiko Chono's kid, so what?

16:11.473 --> 16:13.548
Sure, I admire my dad.

16:13.641 --> 16:15.425
But my hard work has
nothing to do with him.

16:15.518 --> 16:18.303
I'm supposed to be great
just because he's represented Japan?

16:18.396 --> 16:19.304
It's all coming out.

16:19.397 --> 16:21.514
And Coach just smiles at me
without giving any advice.

16:25.111 --> 16:28.521
There's someone that I don't think
I can beat at this rate.

16:29.199 --> 16:30.774
This is a first.

16:30.867 --> 16:33.109
Hearing you say you can't win
in gymnastics.

16:36.539 --> 16:39.532
This is the first time
I've felt like this.

16:40.210 --> 16:42.494
The judge is totally obsessed with her.

16:43.630 --> 16:45.622
Are you saying they give her points

16:45.715 --> 16:47.916
for who she is, and not because
of her performance?

16:48.009 --> 16:50.210
I mean, the judge has got it bad for her.

16:50.303 --> 16:52.087
What a crappy judge!

16:52.180 --> 16:53.379
That pisses me off!

16:53.473 --> 16:55.673
Right? It pisses me off too.

16:58.144 --> 17:02.555
But to tell you the truth,
I totally get why they find her charming.

17:03.233 --> 17:05.141
<i>Not only is she spectacularly talented,</i>

17:05.235 --> 17:08.144
<i>she stays grounded</i>
<i>and always puts in the work.</i>

17:08.655 --> 17:11.231
Talk about intimidating.

17:11.324 --> 17:13.566
It makes me want to run away.

17:14.244 --> 17:16.069
But you won't.

17:17.330 --> 17:19.948
You're a natural-born fighter.

17:22.377 --> 17:25.995
I know you hate to lose,
and your pride won't allow it,

17:26.673 --> 17:30.542
but most of all, you won't
let yourself run without a fight.

17:32.262 --> 17:33.628
That's just who you are.

17:39.477 --> 17:40.885
Now I'm really pissed!

17:42.355 --> 17:45.974
There are plenty of things in the world
you're better off running from.

17:46.067 --> 17:47.892
I'm sorry I'm so ignorant.

17:49.612 --> 17:52.272
But you're not wrong.

17:54.868 --> 17:57.986
If you're going to make a commotion,
then get back to practice.

17:59.581 --> 18:00.780
Guess it's time to go.

18:01.666 --> 18:03.283
Is your ankle okay?

18:13.261 --> 18:14.544
It doesn't hurt anymore!

18:18.641 --> 18:21.342
Now you can't make any excuses
if you lose.

18:21.436 --> 18:22.635
I'm not going to lose.

18:26.691 --> 18:27.891
Taiki.

18:30.153 --> 18:31.269
Could you…

18:32.322 --> 18:33.313
wish me luck?

18:37.160 --> 18:38.318
Good luck!

18:46.419 --> 18:48.578
As if I need your support.

18:48.671 --> 18:50.038
You made me say it!

18:56.930 --> 18:59.339
EIMEI PRIVATE HIGH SCHOOL

19:06.940 --> 19:09.182
Congratulations, Ms. Chono!

19:09.275 --> 19:12.352
A well-deserved first place finish
at the prefectural qualifiers!

19:12.445 --> 19:15.104
-Great job!
-You did it!

19:17.158 --> 19:19.734
I feel stupid for ever worrying about her.

19:19.827 --> 19:22.612
It's nice that it all worked out, though.

19:23.248 --> 19:24.948
I mean, I'm happy for her.

19:27.335 --> 19:29.994
What are you looking at?
That's 10,000 yen.

19:30.088 --> 19:31.496
You upped the price?

19:32.423 --> 19:33.414
Just kidding.

19:33.967 --> 19:36.584
My charms haven't even begun to peak!

19:36.678 --> 19:38.628
You better keep a close eye on me.

19:41.724 --> 19:44.175
Okay, I definitely regret
worrying about her now.

19:46.396 --> 19:50.890
<i>From the outside looking in,</i>
<i>it's been a long time coming.</i>

19:51.734 --> 19:54.894
<i>Now, let's see how Chinatsu Senpai reacts.</i>

19:59.993 --> 20:02.026
-Good night.
-Good night.

20:02.120 --> 20:03.278
Night.

20:03.371 --> 20:04.654
This is delicious.

20:05.581 --> 20:08.908
<i>Practice has been</i>
<i>way more exhausting lately.</i>

20:09.002 --> 20:11.911
<i>But Hina made it to nationals.</i>

20:12.005 --> 20:14.414
<i>I need to follow her lead</i>
<i>and give it my all.</i>

20:16.759 --> 20:18.209
You're going to bed now?

20:18.303 --> 20:20.295
Yes. What about you?

20:20.388 --> 20:22.130
I'm heading down for water.

20:22.223 --> 20:23.423
I see.

20:24.934 --> 20:27.885
I ran into Chono
at the osteopathic clinic today.

20:28.771 --> 20:31.681
She didn't… say anything weird, did she?

20:31.774 --> 20:35.435
No, she just thanked me
for the umbrella I lent her.

20:36.154 --> 20:38.313
Thank you so much for the other day.

20:38.406 --> 20:41.190
Ever since, I've been carrying
a folding umbrella everywhere.

20:42.410 --> 20:43.318
I see.

20:43.953 --> 20:45.528
She's so amazing.

20:45.621 --> 20:49.157
Winning the prefectural qualifiers
as a first-year!

20:49.709 --> 20:52.577
Seems she wasn't satisfied, though.

20:53.421 --> 20:56.039
Something about her performance
not being perfect.

20:57.592 --> 20:59.792
<i>She's dead set on polishing it</i>
<i>for nationals</i>

20:59.886 --> 21:02.670
<i>so she can execute a flawless routine.</i>

21:03.765 --> 21:06.341
She's such a rhythmic gymnastics fangirl.

21:09.437 --> 21:11.846
Anyway, I'm off to bed.

21:12.648 --> 21:13.681
Good night.

21:13.775 --> 21:14.807
Good night.

21:18.446 --> 21:20.396
Can you believe it?

21:20.490 --> 21:22.857
He's such a badminton fanboy.

21:30.249 --> 21:32.825
<i>They make a good pair.</i>

21:35.338 --> 21:37.330
<i>At the very least, Chono seems to…</i>

21:38.216 --> 21:41.751
<i>If that's the case, I'm just in the way.</i>

21:42.553 --> 21:44.337
<i>A housemate of the opposite sex.</i>

21:50.186 --> 21:51.928
<i>I'm sorry, Chono.</i>

21:53.815 --> 21:55.390
<i>It's all for basketball.</i>

21:57.193 --> 22:00.520
<i>I promise it's only until I graduate.</i>

23:30.995 --> 23:35.990
