Episode 13: I Want a Back-and-Forth Rally

01:33.710 --> 01:34.800
<b>How are you feeling?</b>

01:34.880 --> 01:36.260
<b>I'm fine.</b>

01:36.760 --> 01:39.140
<b>You're coming home next week, right?</b>

01:39.220 --> 01:40.300
<b>If we win enough.</b>

01:40.970 --> 01:43.560
<b>Good luck and don't hurt yourself!</b>

01:44.140 --> 01:44.890
<b>Yeah.</b>

01:46.940 --> 01:47.890
<b>I'm leaving now.</b>

01:48.370 --> 01:50.880
<b>Chinatsu's Inter-High</b>

01:58.990 --> 01:59.950
<b>Oh.</b>

02:01.070 --> 02:03.950
<b>I can still see the stars.</b>

02:04.450 --> 02:05.370
<b>Chinatsu-senpai!</b>

02:06.200 --> 02:07.250
<b>Taiki-kun.</b>

02:07.330 --> 02:08.580
<b>You forgot something!</b>

02:08.670 --> 02:10.710
<b>Huh.. Ah, thanks.</b>

02:10.790 --> 02:11.380
<b>No problem.</b>

02:14.800 --> 02:16.510
<b>I should say something.</b>

02:17.010 --> 02:20.930
<b>I feel like "Good Luck" won't be enough.</b>

02:21.010 --> 02:24.080
<b>"You're going up against high schoolers just like yourself!"</b>

02:24.080 --> 02:25.930
<b>That sounds weak too.</b>

02:27.770 --> 02:30.900
<b>By the way, your bracelet
hasn't broken off yet...</b>

02:30.980 --> 02:32.810
<b>That's right.</b>

02:32.900 --> 02:36.280
<b>Even though the wish I made on it was "To go to the Inter-High."</b>

02:37.190 --> 02:39.070
<b>Then let's add one more wish!!</b>

02:39.150 --> 02:39.900
<b>Add one more?</b>

02:40.490 --> 02:43.030
<b>It hasn't broken off yet, so we should still be able to.</b>

02:44.330 --> 02:47.410
<b>May Chinatsu-senpai not get injured!</b>

02:47.500 --> 02:50.580
<b>Reap the rewards of all her hard work...</b>

02:50.670 --> 02:53.580
<b>and claim victory in a blaze of glory.</b>

02:55.960 --> 02:57.170
<b>Isn't that too much?</b>

02:58.090 --> 03:01.300
<b>It granted you your wish for
a spot in the Inter-High.</b>

03:01.380 --> 03:02.430
<b>It can handle this much.</b>

03:03.470 --> 03:05.260
<b>I'll send it some power!</b>

03:07.470 --> 03:08.980
<b>I don't feel any power...</b>

03:09.060 --> 03:09.930
<b>Eh!</b>

03:10.020 --> 03:11.390
<b>Give it directly.</b>

03:17.730 --> 03:18.570
<b>Fight!</b>

03:22.910 --> 03:25.910
<b>If you run out of power, 
I can always send you more!</b>

03:27.870 --> 03:29.580
<b>Taiki-kun...</b>

03:29.660 --> 03:31.750
<b>You're really quite a flirt.</b>

03:32.420 --> 03:33.420
<b>Huh?</b>

03:33.500 --> 03:34.750
<b>Well, I'd better be off.</b>

03:35.920 --> 03:37.090
<b>Take care.</b>

03:38.210 --> 03:40.590
<b>I know this is rude to think, but...</b>

03:41.170 --> 03:43.090
<b>you're one to talk!</b>

03:45.680 --> 03:48.560
<b>The way I see it, you both are.</b>

03:48.640 --> 03:51.480
<b>She's the flirt for wanting a high five!</b>

03:51.980 --> 03:54.770
<b>But what you were doing was pretty flirty too.</b>

03:55.270 --> 04:00.360
<b>By the way I don't know if this has anything to do with what Chinatsu-senpai said, but...</b>

04:00.860 --> 04:02.490
<b>Imada-san, a girl's basketball player...</b>

04:02.570 --> 04:06.160
<b>saw you and Chuno-san together 
at the fireworks festival.</b>

04:06.660 --> 04:08.830
<b>It's possible that Chinatsu-senpai knows too.</b>

04:08.910 --> 04:09.620
<b>Eh!</b>

04:10.200 --> 04:13.620
<b>In fact, she was with her, so it's basically a certainity.</b>

04:14.710 --> 04:15.960
<b>What?!</b>

04:17.340 --> 04:19.380
<b>Huh? Wait a minute.</b>

04:20.050 --> 04:21.630
<b>I'm going in a group.</b>

04:22.260 --> 04:24.760
<b>That means it would look like I was lying!</b>

04:25.470 --> 04:26.840
<b>Then Chinatsu-senpai must think...</b>

04:26.930 --> 04:30.810
<b>I'm the kind of guy who'd lie to cover up going to a fireworks festival with a girl.</b>

04:32.480 --> 04:37.190
<b>It's true that... I did go with just Hina!</b>

04:38.310 --> 04:39.150
<b>He's frozen.</b>

04:40.530 --> 04:41.530
<b>Let's practice.</b>

04:41.610 --> 04:44.150
<b>Oh, you got over that quicker than I thought.</b>

04:44.240 --> 04:47.450
<b>Even though, she might've thought you were on a date.</b>

04:47.950 --> 04:50.240
<b>There's nothing I can do about that.</b>

04:50.740 --> 04:53.160
<b>I'll only apologize for unintentionally lying.</b>

04:54.120 --> 04:56.170
<b>Right now, I have something to do.</b>

04:58.250 --> 05:01.960
<b>Chinatsu-senpai also doesn't have time for it, 
so she probably won't even care.</b>

05:02.460 --> 05:04.170
<b>That's true too.</b>

05:06.260 --> 05:07.760
<b>Oh, sorry.</b>

05:08.260 --> 05:10.180
<b>So... then, like this...</b>

05:10.760 --> 05:12.930
<b>Hina's really focused too.</b>

05:13.020 --> 05:15.180
<b>Just as you'd expect for the Inter-High.</b>

05:16.020 --> 05:18.060
<b>Things are pretty tense here too.</b>

05:18.150 --> 05:20.570
<b>Don't you think it's odd...</b>

05:20.650 --> 05:23.070
<b>where the nationals are being held?</b>

05:23.650 --> 05:26.240
<b>For Basketball, it's in Kyushu. For Volleyball, it's in Tohoku.</b>

05:26.320 --> 05:28.320
<b>And Rhythmic Gymnastics 
is going to be in Kansai.</b>

05:28.410 --> 05:30.830
<b>While Badminton will be in the neighboring prefecture.</b>

05:32.620 --> 05:36.080
<b>Yeah, but think about it! Thanks to that, we'll get to go cheer you on too.</b>

05:36.160 --> 05:38.120
<b>I'm not talking about that.</b>

05:38.210 --> 05:39.170
<b>Sorry.</b>

05:39.250 --> 05:41.840
<b>I wanna eat delicious food and take a dip in a hot spring.</b>

05:41.920 --> 05:44.550
<b>He's in a bad mood. Haryu loves traveling.</b>

05:44.630 --> 05:46.970
<b>More like it's three days before nationals.</b>

05:47.050 --> 05:49.590
<b>It's amazing how his play can still be so calm.</b>

05:49.680 --> 05:52.100
<b>Who's ready to face me next?</b>

05:55.180 --> 05:56.230
<b>I'll play you!</b>

05:56.310 --> 05:57.640
<b>I will show no mercy.</b>

05:57.730 --> 05:59.060
<b>O- Okay...</b>

06:03.070 --> 06:04.980
<b>This place is packed.</b>

06:05.860 --> 06:08.990
<b>Players have come from all over the country.</b>

06:10.990 --> 06:13.120
<b>Yusa-kun from Sajikawa...</b>

06:13.870 --> 06:16.120
<b>So, the two spots for next year's Inter-High...</b>

06:16.700 --> 06:18.710
<b>will go to Haryu and Yusa.</b>

06:23.670 --> 06:25.880
<b>Taiki Inomata?</b>

06:27.050 --> 06:27.880
<b>Karen-san.</b>

06:28.590 --> 06:31.390
<b>Oh, right. She must be here to cheer on Haryu-senpai.</b>

06:31.470 --> 06:33.390
<b>Perfect timing!</b>

06:33.470 --> 06:35.060
<b>Since she has a game today...</b>

06:35.140 --> 06:37.640
<b>I'm on the phone with Chii right now.</b>

06:38.230 --> 06:39.140
<b>Wanna say Hi?</b>

06:40.310 --> 06:42.650
<b>In all honesty, I do want to talk to her.</b>

06:44.020 --> 06:44.900
<b>Hello?</b>

06:48.990 --> 06:51.110
<b>Oh, sorry. I guess she hung up?</b>

06:51.200 --> 06:53.320
<b>She surely did that deliberately!</b>

06:53.410 --> 06:55.740
<b>She really is Haryu-senpai's girlfriend.</b>

06:55.830 --> 06:59.410
<b>Sorry about that. I'm sure you wanted to talk to your crush.</b>

06:59.500 --> 07:01.000
<b>No..</b>

07:01.080 --> 07:01.670
<b>Huh?</b>

07:01.750 --> 07:03.630
<b>Why would you say I have a crush on her?!</b>

07:03.710 --> 07:05.670
<b>Your reaction just now says it all.</b>

07:06.550 --> 07:10.930
<b>How long have you liked her? Since before you two started living together? Or after?</b>

07:11.010 --> 07:13.260
<b>You know about our living together too?!</b>

07:13.340 --> 07:15.550
<b>I got the general rundown from Chinatsu.</b>

07:15.640 --> 07:19.180
<b>Living under the same roof as your crush must be tough...</b>

07:19.270 --> 07:21.310
<b>It's not so bad.</b>

07:22.310 --> 07:25.730
<b>I see. So what she couldn't tell the girls at school...</b>

07:25.820 --> 07:27.320
<b>she was able to tell Karen.</b>

07:27.900 --> 07:31.360
<b>Things going okay with Chii?</b>

07:31.450 --> 07:33.450
<b>She's almost too accommodating.</b>

07:33.950 --> 07:36.120
<b>She treats everything in the house with care...</b>

07:36.620 --> 07:38.950
<b>and helps with things like cleaning.</b>

07:39.040 --> 07:41.960
<b>Does she ever stare off into space?</b>

07:42.040 --> 07:43.460
<b>She does.</b>

07:44.040 --> 07:44.920
<b>I knew it.</b>

07:45.000 --> 07:48.250
<b>When I start eating a snack, she'd stare at me.</b>

07:48.750 --> 07:50.720
<b>She tends to beg with her eyes.</b>

07:51.720 --> 07:56.140
<b>It feels like time flows slowly around Chinatsu-senpai.</b>

07:56.640 --> 07:57.970
<b>Not that I mind.</b>

08:00.560 --> 08:03.140
<b>I guess. You two could live together well.</b>

08:06.310 --> 08:08.230
<b>You actually showed up?</b>

08:08.320 --> 08:10.530
<b>Why would you put it that way?</b>

08:10.610 --> 08:12.360
<b>I know how busy you are, Karen.</b>

08:12.450 --> 08:14.240
<b>I adjusted my schedule.</b>

08:14.820 --> 08:17.990
<b>Having your cute girlfriend cheer you is supposed to be motivating, isn't it?</b>

08:15.080 --> 08:16.240
<b>How cute.</b>

08:17.240 --> 08:18.280
<b>What a babe.</b>

08:18.080 --> 08:19.620
<b>Don't say that about yourself.</b>

08:19.700 --> 08:21.160
<b>Are you taking on someone tough?</b>

08:21.250 --> 08:22.460
<b>Probably on the same level.</b>

08:22.540 --> 08:23.580
<b>Done with warm-ups?</b>

08:23.840 --> 08:24.620
<b>I was about to.</b>

08:24.710 --> 08:26.630
<b>Make sure you win.</b>

08:27.290 --> 08:28.500
<b>I know.</b>

08:31.840 --> 08:32.510
<b>This way?</b>

08:32.590 --> 08:34.340
<b>Yeah. On Court 5.</b>

08:38.390 --> 08:41.600
<b>Sorry. I'm going to take this work call real quick.</b>

08:42.100 --> 08:42.770
<b>There.</b>

08:42.850 --> 08:46.520
<b>I'm impressed. Both you and Haryu-senpai...</b>

08:46.600 --> 08:49.770
<b>balance your work and relationship so well.</b>

08:50.360 --> 08:51.110
<b>Ah...</b>

08:51.610 --> 08:56.160
<b>I knew it. So you're worried about keeping things balanced if you go out with chii?</b>

08:56.240 --> 08:58.410
<b>I'm not talking about myself!</b>

08:58.490 --> 09:00.660
<b>It's not all that impressive.</b>

09:00.740 --> 09:01.990
<b>At first...</b>

09:02.620 --> 09:05.960
<b>we both wondered if it'd be better to only focus on one thing.</b>

09:07.670 --> 09:10.420
<b>I've known Kengo since we were in fifth grade.</b>

09:10.500 --> 09:13.340
<b>Even though we started to like each other in Junior High...</b>

09:13.420 --> 09:16.720
<b>I knew that we both had things we wanted to do and...</b>

09:16.800 --> 09:19.050
<b>I could sense that he thought the same way.</b>

09:19.850 --> 09:23.430
<b>But after hanging out together a few times and talking on the phone...</b>

09:23.520 --> 09:26.810
<b>I wondered "What kind of relationship is this?!"...</b>

09:28.770 --> 09:33.320
<b>But one day, their relationship suddenly got bumped into high gear.</b>

09:33.400 --> 09:35.190
<b>Suddenly narrating it like a story?!</b>

09:35.280 --> 09:38.700
<b>I'd had a pretty bad day at work and was feeling down.</b>

09:39.410 --> 09:42.240
<b>So I called to tell Kengo about it.</b>

09:42.330 --> 09:45.700
<b>And then after I hung up, he sent me a text message.</b>

09:47.520 --> 09:49.270
<b>Haryu Kengo</b>

09:47.520 --> 09:49.270
<b>Can you come out now?</b>

09:50.460 --> 09:51.380
<b>Kengo!</b>

09:52.290 --> 09:53.800
<b>What are you doing here?</b>

09:54.300 --> 09:56.970
<b>I was going to go on a run anyway,
 so I thought I'd bring this.</b>

09:57.050 --> 09:58.470
<b>What is it?</b>

09:58.550 --> 10:02.640
<b>It's my diary from 2nd grade.</b>

10:02.720 --> 10:03.970
<b>Diary?</b>

10:04.040 --> 10:07.790
<b>MONTH O, DAY X
I split the river ice with my head.
It didn't hurt, so that must mean
I'm made of a superalloy.</b>

10:04.930 --> 10:07.730
<b>It's a good read. Just something light.</b>

10:08.310 --> 10:10.020
<b>Read this before going to bed...</b>

10:10.100 --> 10:12.480
<b>and remember that there's someone this stupid out there.</b>

10:12.570 --> 10:14.280
<b>Knowing you, Karen...</b>

10:14.780 --> 10:17.490
<b>you'll overthink things so much that you won't be able to sleep.</b>

10:19.110 --> 10:22.740
<b>If you need a solution, we'll think one up together after you wake up.</b>

10:26.950 --> 10:28.250
<b>You really are dumb.</b>

10:28.330 --> 10:31.080
<b>Right? I especially recommend...</b>

10:38.010 --> 10:39.760
<b>If you do this to me...</b>

10:40.260 --> 10:42.600
<b>I'm going to think about you, Kengo.</b>

10:45.350 --> 10:47.730
<b>And then I confessed.</b>

10:48.230 --> 10:51.150
<b>I just couldn't take it anymore.</b>

10:51.230 --> 10:53.480
<b>She's also Olympic level!</b>

10:53.560 --> 10:54.770
<b>A Gold Medal flirt!!</b>

10:54.860 --> 10:59.780
<b>After that, we talked it out. At the beginning, Kengo was worried too.</b>

10:59.860 --> 11:02.450
<b>But we started going out on the condition that...</b>

11:02.530 --> 11:05.120
<b>if anyone of us started to slack off at work or in sports, we'd break up.</b>

11:05.620 --> 11:09.620
<b>The moment we knew we liked each other, we couldn't go back to being friends.</b>

11:10.790 --> 11:14.000
<b>I just couldn't accept giving up on something...</b>

11:14.080 --> 11:16.460
<b>purely based on speculation.</b>

11:17.760 --> 11:21.840
<b>That's why we're still testing it out.</b>

11:23.470 --> 11:24.550
<b>Fight!</b>

11:24.640 --> 11:26.010
<b>Fight!</b>

11:26.100 --> 11:28.060
<b>I always thought that Haryu-senpai and others...</b>

11:28.140 --> 11:30.810
<b>were some kind of "capable people".</b>

11:34.900 --> 11:36.570
<b>Score! Go for it!</b>

11:41.150 --> 11:42.660
<b>First game won by..</b>

11:46.490 --> 11:47.080
<b>Nice!</b>

11:49.450 --> 11:52.460
<b>I have no idea what Chinatsu-senpai's thinking.</b>

11:52.540 --> 11:54.000
<b>And I haven't told her...</b>

11:54.880 --> 11:58.590
<b>what I'm thinking either.</b>

12:00.510 --> 12:03.260
<b>I'm glad you advanced this far, Haryu.</b>

12:03.340 --> 12:06.100
<b>I can't lose before I go up against you.</b>

12:06.600 --> 12:10.180
<b>It's too bad it's the third round as opposed to the finals.</b>

12:10.930 --> 12:13.100
<b>By the way, it seems you had...</b>

12:13.190 --> 12:15.520
<b>an interesting conversation with our first-year...</b>

12:16.310 --> 12:19.400
<b>about who would be coming here next year.</b>

12:21.360 --> 12:24.030
<b>Are you not satisfied with me and Taiki?</b>

12:25.160 --> 12:27.240
<b>Next year, the venue won't be here.</b>

12:27.320 --> 12:29.030
<b>Flew right over his head.</b>

12:29.620 --> 12:31.790
<b>I have no complaints whatsoever.</b>

12:32.290 --> 12:34.420
<b>It just means whoever wins gets to go.</b>

12:34.920 --> 12:36.960
<b>But Haryu...</b>

12:37.040 --> 12:40.590
<b>if you can't take one game against me...</b>

12:41.090 --> 12:42.800
<b>you might not be able to make it next year.</b>

12:43.380 --> 12:47.300
<b>What are you talking about? I'm here to win.</b>

12:47.890 --> 12:51.060
<b>Now Calling: Sachikawa High, Hyodo-kun</b>

12:51.140 --> 12:53.730
<b>Eimei High, Haryu-Kun...</b>

12:53.810 --> 12:55.810
<b>Please proceed to Court 9.</b>

13:04.280 --> 13:06.820
<b>That's exactly what I'm talking about, Haryu.</b>

13:07.360 --> 13:10.780
<b>You could've scored a point by being one step faster with your attack.</b>

13:10.870 --> 13:14.330
<b>But you got too cautious and played defensively instead.</b>

13:15.040 --> 13:18.210
<b>That's why, you're always giving up so many points to me.</b>

13:19.250 --> 13:21.300
<b>You are giving off the image of losing.</b>

13:22.340 --> 13:24.420
<b>He lost a game.</b>

13:25.010 --> 13:26.720
<b>But he can still win, right?!</b>

13:26.800 --> 13:30.470
<b>A match consists of the best of three games to 21 points.</b>

13:31.310 --> 13:34.220
<b>Uh-oh. Hyodo-san's completely in control.</b>

13:34.730 --> 13:36.810
<b>It feels like a replay of the prefectural qualifiers.</b>

13:38.310 --> 13:40.480
<b>She looks worried.</b>

13:41.900 --> 13:44.230
<b>That's rare for Karen.</b>

13:45.780 --> 13:49.070
<b>The first time I met Karen was in fifth grade.</b>

13:49.550 --> 13:50.560
<b>Haryu-kun!</b>

13:50.560 --> 13:52.740
<b>Help us with math after school.</b>

13:52.830 --> 13:56.000
<b>Sorry, I've got swimming class on Wednesdays.</b>

13:56.080 --> 13:59.420
<b>My parents wanted me to do a bunch of different after-school activities.</b>

13:59.500 --> 14:02.960
<b>Piano on Monday, Swim on Wednesday, Cram school on Saturday...</b>

14:03.050 --> 14:04.510
<b>For a while, I even did Calligraphy.</b>

14:05.340 --> 14:08.630
<b>Amidst it all, my dad took me to a badminton club for fun...</b>

14:08.720 --> 14:10.010
<b>In the badminton club...</b>

14:10.090 --> 14:13.510
<b>I fell in with the sport but that's a story for another time.</b>

14:14.470 --> 14:16.680
<b>I was pretty good at most things.</b>

14:16.770 --> 14:20.060
<b>I was starting to think that made me special.</b>

14:20.150 --> 14:21.520
<b>Then I met Karen.</b>

14:22.310 --> 14:24.530
<b>Starting today, we have a new friend joining us.</b>

14:24.610 --> 14:26.900
<b>She's Karen Moriya.</b>

14:26.990 --> 14:28.320
<b>Thanks for having me.</b>

14:28.400 --> 14:29.740
<b>Cute!</b>

14:29.820 --> 14:31.410
<b>Her legs are so long.</b>

14:32.030 --> 14:33.540
<b>Okay, let's get swimming.</b>

14:33.540 --> 14:34.160
<b>Okay!</b>

14:34.240 --> 14:35.950
<b>Anybody could see that she was beautiful...</b>

14:36.040 --> 14:37.980
<b>And everyone there fell in lo-</b>

14:37.980 --> 14:40.370
<b>Okay, not quite.</b>

14:40.960 --> 14:42.880
<b>Moriya-san, use your legs!</b>

14:42.960 --> 14:44.170
<b>Not your arms!</b>

14:47.460 --> 14:48.840
<b>Delicious Oxygen.</b>

14:48.920 --> 14:49.760
<b>Hey.</b>

14:50.760 --> 14:53.430
<b>Why'd you go out of your way
 to attend a swim school?</b>

14:53.510 --> 14:54.180
<b>Huh?</b>

14:54.760 --> 14:56.430
<b>Doing something you're not good at...</b>

14:57.140 --> 14:59.940
<b>just increases the number of times you get embarrassed.</b>

15:02.440 --> 15:03.190
<b>Ah!</b>

15:06.030 --> 15:07.440
<b>What're you doing?</b>

15:07.530 --> 15:09.450
<b>Then teach me!</b>

15:10.280 --> 15:12.740
<b>If you feel bad about me 
embarrassing myself...</b>

15:12.820 --> 15:14.450
<b>then teach me. You're good at it, right?</b>

15:14.950 --> 15:16.950
<b>That's why I'm here.</b>

15:18.200 --> 15:19.200
<b>I don't feel like that...</b>

15:19.790 --> 15:21.620
<b>I can't stand not knowing how to swim!</b>

15:21.710 --> 15:24.460
<b>My dream is to swim with dolphins.</b>

15:24.540 --> 15:26.210
<b>That's why?</b>

15:26.300 --> 15:30.050
<b>Besides, I haven't even been at it long enough to feel like I've actually tried.</b>

15:30.130 --> 15:32.720
<b>So I don't want to write it off as something I'm not good at.</b>

15:33.640 --> 15:36.220
<b>Just because I'm bad at something now...</b>

15:36.310 --> 15:38.970
<b>doesn't mean I'm going to be bad at it in the future.</b>

15:39.560 --> 15:40.270
<b>Ah...</b>

15:42.560 --> 15:45.270
<b>In the end, by the time she quit...</b>

15:45.360 --> 15:48.230
<b>Karen was able to swim the 50-meter crawl.</b>

15:48.320 --> 15:49.940
<b>It brought the coach to tears.</b>

15:51.320 --> 15:55.240
<b>And even though we went to different schools, we lived near each other...</b>

15:55.950 --> 15:57.740
<b>so we started hanging out.</b>

15:57.830 --> 15:58.580
<b>Sup.</b>

15:59.080 --> 16:00.660
<b>What're you doing here?</b>

16:00.750 --> 16:03.290
<b>You said you won 
your badminton tournament.</b>

16:03.370 --> 16:05.080
<b>So I thought I'd go out with you for dinner.</b>

16:05.580 --> 16:09.380
<b>Whenever something happened to one of us, we'd tell the other and cheer each other on.</b>

16:09.880 --> 16:12.130
<b>Even though I wanted to advance our relationship...</b>

16:12.220 --> 16:16.220
<b>I find myself making excuses, saying that I shouldn't get in Karen's way.</b>

16:18.180 --> 16:18.850
<b>That's why...</b>

16:19.850 --> 16:22.270
<b>Kengo. I love you.</b>

16:23.560 --> 16:25.190
<b>My heart ached.</b>

16:25.850 --> 16:28.480
<b>As I smelled her shampoo...</b>

16:28.570 --> 16:32.150
<b>it ached with my love for Karen, while she looked down in embarrassment.</b>

16:32.240 --> 16:34.780
<b>and it ached with shame for never expressing itself.</b>

16:36.320 --> 16:38.030
<b>Because of your pity for me...</b>

16:40.120 --> 16:42.790
<b>Karen's always the one who's cool.</b>

16:42.870 --> 16:45.580
<b>To conquer swimming when she was no good at it...</b>

16:46.080 --> 16:48.290
<b>rather than be scared or embarrassed...</b>

16:48.380 --> 16:52.050
<b>She chose to challenge herself. That's the kind of person my girlfriend is...</b>

16:52.760 --> 16:56.050
<b>So I can't just let this end without showing her how cool I can be.</b>

16:57.680 --> 16:58.800
<b>You're catching up!</b>

16:59.890 --> 17:01.060
<b>Fight!</b>

17:02.640 --> 17:04.560
<b>Haryu-senpai, Fight!</b>

17:04.640 --> 17:05.810
<b>Use your legs!</b>

17:05.890 --> 17:06.900
<b>Go!</b>

17:14.150 --> 17:15.700
<b>He took back a game!</b>

17:18.200 --> 17:19.120
<b>I've got this.</b>

17:19.910 --> 17:20.870
<b>I've still got this.</b>

17:21.950 --> 17:22.870
<b>Keep fighting!</b>

17:23.580 --> 17:25.120
<b>I can feel my body temperature rising.</b>

17:26.210 --> 17:27.880
<b>My feet can still move.</b>

17:28.880 --> 17:30.880
<b>I hear cheers from afar.</b>

17:30.960 --> 17:32.380
<b>I'm in a good form.</b>

17:32.960 --> 17:34.380
<b>I can still play level-headed.</b>

17:36.970 --> 17:37.890
<b>And yet...</b>

17:38.760 --> 17:41.390
<b>I can't close his three-point lead.</b>

17:42.060 --> 17:43.680
<b>Focus.</b>

17:43.770 --> 17:45.140
<b>Take a good look.</b>

17:45.730 --> 17:47.270
<b>I got one game on him.</b>

17:47.350 --> 17:49.020
<b>He's not that much better than me.</b>

17:50.190 --> 17:52.520
<b>Don't stop. React.</b>

17:53.110 --> 17:54.280
<b>If you do that, you'll reach.</b>

17:55.110 --> 17:56.360
<b>You'll reach!</b>

17:56.860 --> 17:57.780
<b>You'll reach!</b>

18:03.410 --> 18:04.290
<b>Game set!</b>

18:05.000 --> 18:06.870
<b>Hyodo-kun from Sajikawa High wins.</b>

18:12.290 --> 18:13.130
<b>Dammit!</b>

18:14.670 --> 18:17.010
<b>He could still smash it like that?</b>

18:17.090 --> 18:18.550
<b>I can't compete with that.</b>

18:19.380 --> 18:23.060
<b>Getting to take you on these past two years has been fun.</b>

18:29.060 --> 18:30.730
<b>Thanks a lot.</b>

18:33.770 --> 18:38.150
<b>Being here really reminds you that badminton matches only last a short moment.</b>

18:38.650 --> 18:40.570
<b>Yeah. Before you know it, it's over.</b>

18:42.160 --> 18:43.830
<b>I'm going out for a jog!</b>

18:43.910 --> 18:45.910
<b>After that tough game?</b>

18:45.990 --> 18:48.330
<b>Yeah. Hold this for me.</b>

18:49.460 --> 18:51.830
<b>It's been said a million times, but...</b>

18:52.500 --> 18:56.340
<b>seeing someone try their best makes you want to try your best too, doesn't it?</b>

19:02.590 --> 19:03.850
<b>Yeah.</b>

19:04.350 --> 19:06.100
<b>Good luck to you too, Inomata-kun!</b>

19:06.180 --> 19:07.060
<b>Thanks.</b>

19:07.140 --> 19:08.770
<b>Both in the court and in romance.</b>

19:09.940 --> 19:11.810
<b>Aren't you going to confess?</b>

19:12.310 --> 19:13.230
<b>As you are living together...</b>

19:13.310 --> 19:15.860
<b>you're basically past dating already.</b>

19:15.940 --> 19:18.820
<b>It's because we're living together that it's hard to bring up.</b>

19:18.900 --> 19:19.530
<b>Huh?</b>

19:19.610 --> 19:21.110
<b>If she turns me down...</b>

19:21.610 --> 19:24.740
<b>it'll make living in my house uncomfortable for Chinatsu-senpai.</b>

19:25.240 --> 19:29.250
<b>She's already always 
so considerate around us.</b>

19:31.210 --> 19:33.790
<b>But you like her, right?</b>

19:33.880 --> 19:34.750
<b>Yeah...</b>

19:34.840 --> 19:37.880
<b>So that means you want to go out with her, right?</b>

19:39.170 --> 19:40.130
<b>Yeah.</b>

19:40.220 --> 19:44.300
<b>On the flip side, doesn't living with her while hiding your true motives...</b>

19:44.390 --> 19:45.260
<b>just make you a creep?</b>

19:52.100 --> 19:55.110
<b>I never thought of that!</b>

19:55.610 --> 19:57.860
<b>It's true that I've snuck 
glances whenever I could...</b>

19:57.940 --> 20:01.190
<b>and caught her scent whenever she passed by...</b>

20:01.280 --> 20:03.280
<b>which probably makes me gross!</b>

20:04.360 --> 20:06.700
<b>Everyone overthinks things.</b>

20:07.200 --> 20:10.790
<b>I think it's good to think about what the other person thinks, but...</b>

20:11.370 --> 20:13.250
<b>in the end...</b>

20:13.330 --> 20:16.540
<b>you're just guessing what Chii might be thinking.</b>

20:17.130 --> 20:21.300
<b>Sometimes it's important to not even think about anything.</b>

20:22.050 --> 20:23.300
<b>If you don't do anything...</b>

20:23.380 --> 20:25.800
<b>you'll spend your life playing alone against the wall...</b>

20:28.890 --> 20:30.520
<b>Is that what you want?</b>

20:32.520 --> 20:34.230
<b>I want a Back-and-Forth Rally.</b>

20:34.730 --> 20:36.730
<b>Then, fight!</b>

20:41.490 --> 20:42.440
<b>Welcome back.</b>

20:42.530 --> 20:45.200
<b>What, are you leaving?</b>

20:45.700 --> 20:47.410
<b>I've got a train to catch.</b>

20:47.490 --> 20:49.030
<b>Thanks for coming.</b>

20:49.120 --> 20:51.450
<b>I gotta say it was interesting.</b>

20:53.330 --> 20:56.670
<b>Hey. This might be a tough question, but...</b>

20:57.170 --> 21:01.000
<b>is it really that hard for a second-year to get further than you did?</b>

21:01.090 --> 21:02.880
<b>Well, yeah.</b>

21:03.420 --> 21:06.260
<b>I'm surrounded by third-years. 
I actually did really well.</b>

21:06.760 --> 21:07.680
<b>I see.</b>

21:13.270 --> 21:14.850
<b>Well then, I'll be off now.</b>

21:17.850 --> 21:18.560
<b>Karen.</b>

21:20.320 --> 21:23.190
<b>Next time, I will win more.</b>

21:25.700 --> 21:26.360
<b>Yeah.</b>

21:29.410 --> 21:30.450
<b>You reek of sweat.</b>

21:30.530 --> 21:31.620
<b>Hey.</b>

21:32.200 --> 21:35.160
<b>Well then, go watch other games and learn from them.</b>

21:35.250 --> 21:36.870
<b>Yeah, I will. Have a safe trip.</b>

21:36.960 --> 21:40.290
<b>If you lied just now, then I'm cutting down on our dates.</b>

21:40.380 --> 21:41.840
<b>Yes, ma'am.</b>

21:41.920 --> 21:43.880
<b>Even though you'd be
the one who suffers.</b>

21:53.060 --> 21:55.390
<b>Which court is Hoshino High holding their match on?</b>

21:55.980 --> 21:57.440
<b>Court 11.</b>

21:57.940 --> 21:59.270
<b>Come watch with me, Taiki.</b>

21:59.350 --> 22:00.520
<b>Okay.</b>

22:03.650 --> 22:05.240
<b>What smells so good...</b>
