00:01.713 --> 00:03.882
<i>It's been about a month
since Chinatsu Senpai</i>

00:03.966 --> 00:05.551
<i>started living with us.</i>

00:13.892 --> 00:14.810
Good morning.

00:16.395 --> 00:20.274
<i>My eyes have gotten used
to her dazzling aura.</i>

00:21.692 --> 00:24.319
I washed your gym uniform,
so don't forget to take it.

00:24.403 --> 00:27.281
<i>I used to hit the snooze button
about five times,</i>

00:27.364 --> 00:29.908
<i>but lately, I've been stopping
after about two.</i>

00:37.374 --> 00:39.001
<i>Having a crush</i>

00:39.835 --> 00:41.086
<i>is so wonderful!</i>

00:47.342 --> 00:50.596

BLUE BOX

02:13.136 --> 02:16.056
EPISODE 4
IF HE WINS

02:18.850 --> 02:20.686
Thank you for the meal.

02:20.769 --> 02:22.062
You have your match tomorrow.

02:22.145 --> 02:23.605
Yup!

02:23.689 --> 02:25.274
You're in a good mood.

02:25.357 --> 02:28.360
I guess I'm just fulfilled every day.

02:28.443 --> 02:30.487
You seem to have settled down quickly.

02:31.905 --> 02:35.242
You know, a boy and a girl,
living under the same roof,

02:35.325 --> 02:37.577
I'm surprised nothing's happened so far.

02:37.661 --> 02:39.079
That's because...

02:41.164 --> 02:42.582
CHINATSU KANO
SORRY TO BOTHER YOU!

02:42.666 --> 02:44.584
Chinatsu Senpai!

02:44.668 --> 02:46.586
DID YOU TAKE MY UNIFORM BY ACCIDENT?

02:48.672 --> 02:50.090
KANO

02:53.176 --> 02:54.845
I HAVE GYM FIFTH PERIOD...

02:55.554 --> 02:56.847
I have to take this to her!

02:58.265 --> 02:59.307
I'LL BRING IT TO YOU!

02:59.391 --> 03:00.600
WHERE SHOULD WE MEET?

03:00.684 --> 03:03.061
SOMEWHERE SECLUDED WOULD BE BEST, RIGHT?

03:03.145 --> 03:05.188
HOW ABOUT THE AV ROOM?

03:05.272 --> 03:06.189
ROGER THAT

03:06.273 --> 03:08.775
<i>I was in such a rush this morning.</i>

03:08.859 --> 03:11.528
<i>We can't have anyone see us.</i>

03:11.611 --> 03:13.405
<i>I need to do this quickly.</i>

03:13.488 --> 03:14.781
Yo, Taiki.

03:17.784 --> 03:19.202
Why are you avoiding me?

03:19.286 --> 03:21.329
It's not what you think.

03:21.413 --> 03:23.081
This is perfect.

03:23.165 --> 03:24.458
Come practice with me.

03:24.541 --> 03:27.836
Sorry! I'll make it up after school!

03:27.919 --> 03:29.379
He ran away.

03:30.047 --> 03:31.965
AV ROOM

03:34.092 --> 03:36.303
<i>This room is usually empty.</i>

03:37.804 --> 03:38.722
Taiki.

03:39.348 --> 03:41.224
Hina! What are you doing here?

03:41.308 --> 03:42.476
RHYTHMIC GYMNASTICS MEETING

03:42.559 --> 03:44.978
We're holding a rhythmic gymnastics
team meeting.

03:45.062 --> 03:46.229
<i>What?</i>

03:46.855 --> 03:47.981
You need something?

03:48.065 --> 03:49.566
Not particularly.

03:52.819 --> 03:54.738
- You dropped--
- Stop!

03:54.821 --> 03:56.239
KANO

03:56.323 --> 03:58.742
Listen, don't touch that.

03:58.825 --> 04:00.243
Why not?

04:00.327 --> 04:01.536
Hey.

04:01.620 --> 04:02.746
Hey, hey.

04:04.331 --> 04:06.708
Well, to be honest,

04:06.792 --> 04:09.503
I haven't washed that since last summer.

04:11.421 --> 04:13.507
- Get out of here.
- Okay.

04:15.300 --> 04:16.510
Hold on, Taiki.

04:17.427 --> 04:20.097
You were wearing your gym uniform
in gym class.

04:20.764 --> 04:23.100
If you haven't washed it
since junior high...

04:23.600 --> 04:26.770
The truth is, I've been wearing it
without ever washing it.

04:28.230 --> 04:29.648
Be gone.

04:29.731 --> 04:30.774
Okay.

04:31.441 --> 04:33.026
<i>Honestly.</i>

04:34.319 --> 04:36.571
<i>Why are there people everywhere?</i>

04:38.073 --> 04:40.867
<i>At this rate, Chinatsu Senpai
will have to wear my uniform.</i>

04:40.951 --> 04:41.952
INOMATA

04:42.786 --> 04:44.121
<i>There's no time left.</i>

04:44.204 --> 04:45.205
CHINATSU KANO
NEW MESSAGE

04:46.540 --> 04:49.459
"Come to the west side of the roof"?

04:49.543 --> 04:51.211
NO TRESPASSING

05:02.681 --> 05:03.849
You're here.

05:04.766 --> 05:07.352
Thank goodness we were able to meet up.

05:07.436 --> 05:09.688
How do you have a key to the roof?

05:09.771 --> 05:12.023
I borrowed it from my friend
in the astronomy club.

05:13.150 --> 05:14.359
Here.

05:14.443 --> 05:16.820
Thank you. You're a lifesaver.

05:17.696 --> 05:20.365
<i>So this is what Chinatsu Senpai
is like at school.</i>

05:22.701 --> 05:23.869
It's nothing.

05:25.912 --> 05:29.666
Crap! You have to hurry,
or you'll be late!

05:29.749 --> 05:31.877
What are you doing?

05:31.960 --> 05:35.005
I thought I'd change here
because there's no time.

05:35.088 --> 05:36.131
Here?

05:36.214 --> 05:37.841
Don't worry.

05:37.924 --> 05:40.635
Girls in athletics learn
to change anywhere.

05:40.719 --> 05:42.262
We're trained to.

05:42.345 --> 05:44.431
<i>That's not the issue!</i>

05:45.223 --> 05:47.642
I'll make sure nobody comes up here.

05:47.726 --> 05:48.643
Sorry.

05:49.436 --> 05:52.522
<i>I've said this before,
but she's way too defenseless.</i>

05:52.606 --> 05:56.193
<i>Does she not understand how cute she is?</i>

05:58.737 --> 06:00.238
<i>Crap!</i>

06:00.322 --> 06:03.992
<i>These sounds are making me imagine things!</i>

06:04.492 --> 06:06.912
- For real?
- So then...

06:16.046 --> 06:16.922
All done.

06:17.797 --> 06:18.757
You okay?

06:18.840 --> 06:21.718
Ten more seconds,
and I would've been a goner.

06:23.094 --> 06:24.095
Ready to go?

06:24.179 --> 06:25.972
You go on ahead.

06:26.056 --> 06:27.057
Okay.

06:29.434 --> 06:30.685
Thanks.

06:34.189 --> 06:37.025
<i>Getting changed right in front of me...</i>

06:38.485 --> 06:41.488
<i>That must mean
she doesn't view me as a guy.</i>

06:44.241 --> 06:47.452
<i>I need to work on that.</i>

06:48.203 --> 06:49.246
Good practice.

06:49.329 --> 06:51.039
Did someone grab the shuttlecocks?

06:51.122 --> 06:53.208
What time tomorrow?

06:53.833 --> 06:54.834
Taiki!

06:56.294 --> 06:58.338
You've got regional prelims tomorrow?

06:59.214 --> 07:02.634
Make sure you don't get all worked up
and embarrass yourself.

07:02.717 --> 07:04.386
Mind your business!

07:06.012 --> 07:08.348
I'll make sure Kyo films it.

07:09.683 --> 07:11.434
So I've been wondering...

07:11.518 --> 07:12.519
Not even a little.

07:12.602 --> 07:13.603
That right?

07:14.396 --> 07:17.190
She's right, though. Don't get worked up.

07:17.274 --> 07:20.110
You have me for doubles,
so that's a guaranteed win.

07:20.193 --> 07:22.362
<i>He's so confident!</i>

07:22.445 --> 07:26.283
You just need to finish in the top 16
in the singles next week.

07:26.366 --> 07:27.826
I'll be fine!

07:27.909 --> 07:30.036
I'm a lot better than before.

07:30.120 --> 07:32.038
I'll even make it
to the top eight or four.

07:32.664 --> 07:35.625
Well, just so you know,
you forgot your racket bag.

07:37.252 --> 07:39.045
Why didn't you mention it earlier?

07:39.129 --> 07:40.714
I wondered when you'd notice.

07:40.797 --> 07:42.090
I'll be right back!

07:45.218 --> 07:47.971
Taiki! Make sure you pack your uniform!

07:48.054 --> 07:51.558
And don't forget your shoes and racket!

07:51.641 --> 07:52.726
They're already packed.

07:52.809 --> 07:58.231
<i>Seeing Mom like this,
I understand where I get it from.</i>

07:58.315 --> 08:00.233
How many towels do you need? Eight?

08:00.317 --> 08:01.818
I don't need any!

08:02.444 --> 08:04.279
I've already packed everything I need.

08:04.362 --> 08:05.238
Really?

08:12.787 --> 08:14.247
Taiki!

08:15.582 --> 08:17.584
- Laundry!
- Gimme a towel!

08:17.667 --> 08:19.044
Here!

08:19.127 --> 08:20.503
Hurry!

08:22.213 --> 08:24.090
<i>Get it together.</i>

08:24.174 --> 08:28.011
<i>I know it's your first high school match,
but it's not your first rodeo.</i>

08:28.595 --> 08:30.347
<i>Why are you so nervous?</i>

08:30.430 --> 08:31.765
<i>Calm down.</i>

08:31.848 --> 08:35.018
<i>Don't go out there and lose
because of some stupid mistake.</i>

08:35.852 --> 08:39.773
<i>There's nothing to feel pressured about.</i>

08:45.820 --> 08:47.906
<i>Exercise to clear the mind!</i>

08:47.989 --> 08:49.532
<i>You're going to nationals, right?</i>

08:49.616 --> 08:50.784
<i>Get it together!</i>

08:53.036 --> 08:54.663
You're practicing this late?

08:56.289 --> 08:57.832
Chinatsu Senpai.

08:59.959 --> 09:02.545
I decided to do some practice swings
to move my body.

09:03.922 --> 09:04.923
Taiki.

09:05.006 --> 09:06.549
Your shirt's inside out.

09:10.345 --> 09:12.806
<i>Okay, I might not be fine.</i>

09:22.357 --> 09:23.566
Sorry!

09:25.235 --> 09:29.030
<i>She didn't seem to care
about changing in front of me.</i>

09:29.572 --> 09:31.574
<i>But this she minds.</i>

09:32.450 --> 09:33.576
Taiki.

09:33.660 --> 09:34.828
Yes?

09:34.911 --> 09:37.080
I didn't know you had a six-pack.

09:37.789 --> 09:38.832
<i>That's what it was?</i>

09:39.624 --> 09:42.001
I guess you do work out a lot.

09:42.711 --> 09:43.586
That reminds me.

09:43.670 --> 09:46.840
Haryu said your body was coming along.

09:48.258 --> 09:52.053
Just because I got a little muscle
doesn't make me better at badminton.

09:54.347 --> 09:55.890
Wow, talk about humble.

10:00.270 --> 10:01.187
Taiki.

10:02.981 --> 10:04.232
What is it?

10:06.192 --> 10:07.485
<i>Hyakue.</i>

10:08.987 --> 10:10.238
What?

10:10.321 --> 10:12.365
It's a pressure point on your head.

10:12.449 --> 10:14.242
It can help you relax.

10:14.826 --> 10:17.412
There's no point in running around
the day before.

10:17.495 --> 10:19.664
You've already put in the hard work.

10:20.540 --> 10:24.419
So stop overthinking things
and go show them what you can do.

10:25.587 --> 10:26.629
Got it?

10:27.255 --> 10:28.214
Yeah.

10:29.632 --> 10:31.176
<i>Okay, this pressure point</i>

10:32.135 --> 10:33.511
<i>really works.</i>

10:35.472 --> 10:36.514
Besides,

10:38.099 --> 10:41.436
you still have next year
and the year after.

10:42.187 --> 10:43.438
<i>The year after?</i>

10:44.022 --> 10:45.899
<i>But that's after you graduate.</i>

10:47.400 --> 10:49.903
You'll be even stronger than you are now.

10:49.986 --> 10:51.404
That's not good enough for me.

11:04.751 --> 11:05.710
Good night.

11:17.639 --> 11:18.765
Okay!

11:19.349 --> 11:20.558
Let's go!

11:21.476 --> 11:23.061
Looks like you got over your nerves.

11:24.395 --> 11:26.064
I don't have time to be nervous.

11:28.399 --> 11:30.818
Well, good for you.

11:31.611 --> 11:35.073
<i>The doubles matches are about to begin.</i>

11:35.156 --> 11:36.074
ROUND 1

11:36.157 --> 11:37.325
Out!

11:37.408 --> 11:38.826
ROUND 3

11:38.910 --> 11:40.828
ADVANCED TO BEST 16

11:40.912 --> 11:42.664
- Huh?
- What?

11:42.747 --> 11:44.874
I mean, it's going so smoothly.

11:44.958 --> 11:47.502
Like we're not gonna
make it out of regional prelims.

11:47.585 --> 11:48.628
You have me, dummy.

11:49.212 --> 11:51.089
Please sign the match sheet.

11:52.090 --> 11:56.094
Although it's painfully clear
what you need to work on.

11:57.303 --> 11:59.722
<i>He's right. These were real games</i>

11:59.806 --> 12:03.768
<i>and there were so many instances
where he covered me.</i>

12:09.274 --> 12:10.608
<i>He's so loud.</i>

12:10.692 --> 12:12.860
<i>Such a bold playstyle too.</i>

12:15.238 --> 12:17.115
<i>Or so I thought, but he's calculated.</i>

12:17.865 --> 12:19.617
One more down.

12:20.952 --> 12:22.620
- Let's go.
- Okay.

12:23.454 --> 12:24.581
Harry Senpai?

12:26.374 --> 12:30.920
If it isn't the former KTS Junior member
Kengo Haryu.

12:31.004 --> 12:32.255
Sorry, wrong person.

12:32.338 --> 12:34.007
You crook!

12:36.342 --> 12:37.885
Do you know him?

12:37.969 --> 12:40.763
He used to be my doubles partner
in my junior days.

12:41.556 --> 12:44.267
Meet Shimotomi High's Shoichiro Kishi.

12:44.350 --> 12:47.061
He called you a crook.

12:47.145 --> 12:49.314
I have no idea why.

12:49.397 --> 12:52.025
That's because Harry Senpai
broke his promise.

12:52.108 --> 12:56.779
You said you'd give me
Chinatsu Kano's number!

12:56.863 --> 12:58.031
<i>What?</i>

12:58.114 --> 13:00.825
I said if you beat me.

13:00.908 --> 13:02.410
But I did.

13:02.493 --> 13:04.203
In an official match.

13:04.287 --> 13:07.457
Do you know Chinatsu Senpai?

13:08.166 --> 13:09.042
Yeah.

13:09.125 --> 13:13.796
How could I forget that fateful day
last year at Eimei's school festival?

13:13.880 --> 13:16.049
SCHOOL FESTIVAL

13:17.342 --> 13:18.301
My wallet's gone!

13:18.384 --> 13:20.595
It was a limited edition!

13:20.678 --> 13:21.512
Excuse me!

13:32.649 --> 13:35.610
It was like my favorite idol
popped out of my wallet.

13:35.693 --> 13:36.861
What anime is that?

13:36.944 --> 13:38.154
Don't humor him.

13:39.364 --> 13:42.742
After that, I heard she was friends
with Harry Senpai,

13:42.825 --> 13:44.869
so I asked for an introduction.

13:44.952 --> 13:46.996
But he never came through.

13:47.080 --> 13:48.081
Isn't he awful?

13:48.164 --> 13:50.249
You agree with me, right?

13:50.333 --> 13:52.293
<i>Nice job, Haryu Senpai.</i>

13:52.877 --> 13:55.505
Which is why today,
after I crush you in the doubles,

13:55.588 --> 13:57.882
you'd better introduce me to her!

13:58.883 --> 13:59.926
Kishi.

14:00.426 --> 14:04.347
I don't feel too well.

14:06.224 --> 14:07.892
I think I'm dying.

14:08.434 --> 14:10.937
Yokoyama!

14:11.437 --> 14:14.273
Lucky you already made it past
the prelims.

14:14.357 --> 14:15.358
Fine, then!

14:15.441 --> 14:18.027
We'll settle this at next week's singles!

14:18.111 --> 14:19.946
I'm not playing in that.

14:20.029 --> 14:23.032
When's your next official match, then?

14:23.116 --> 14:24.575
The prefectural qualifiers in June.

14:24.659 --> 14:25.994
June?

14:26.077 --> 14:27.912
I'll find a sub, and we can play now!

14:27.996 --> 14:29.872
- No way.
- I won't leave until you do!

14:29.956 --> 14:31.624
Okay, fine.

14:32.250 --> 14:36.129
I'll give you her number if you beat Taiki
in the singles next week.

14:37.922 --> 14:40.133
More accurately,
I'll ask her if it's okay.

14:40.216 --> 14:41.634
You can't just volunteer me!

14:41.718 --> 14:42.635
Taiki?

14:42.719 --> 14:44.429
My doubles partner over there.

14:51.728 --> 14:52.770
This is a lock!

14:54.313 --> 14:56.065
What should my first message be?

14:58.651 --> 14:59.944
Be careful.

15:00.028 --> 15:02.655
He's better than he looks.

15:05.742 --> 15:08.411
<i>What a jerk!</i>

15:10.872 --> 15:13.166
<i>How did I get roped into this?</i>

15:14.125 --> 15:18.504
<i>I don't like the idea of Kishi getting
Chinatsu Senpai's number either.</i>

15:19.630 --> 15:21.507
<i>Doesn't mean he should just volunteer me.</i>

15:21.591 --> 15:22.925
That's right.

15:23.009 --> 15:25.428
<i>That's Chinatsu Senpai's voice.</i>

15:26.220 --> 15:28.431
<i>It feels a little awkward to see her now.</i>

15:28.514 --> 15:31.976
<i>I'm sure she didn't like
my attitude yesterday.</i>

15:33.019 --> 15:36.939
<i>I'm the one so hung up on going
to nationals this year.</i>

15:37.023 --> 15:39.484
I'm so glad Taiki won.

15:39.567 --> 15:42.195
Well, he has been practicing hard.

15:42.278 --> 15:45.239
He swings his racket at home
instead of studying.

15:45.865 --> 15:47.241
So he'd better win.

15:47.825 --> 15:50.620
And I made <i>tonkatsu</i>
for him today to celebrate.

15:50.703 --> 15:52.789
It'd be awkward if he lost.

15:54.707 --> 15:57.210
Honestly, I was a little worried

15:57.293 --> 15:59.587
that he's pushing himself too hard.

16:00.338 --> 16:04.550
He's got two more years,
so what's the rush?

16:05.176 --> 16:06.010
Yes.

16:06.094 --> 16:08.846
I said that to him too.

16:08.930 --> 16:11.307
That he still has next year and the next.

16:11.390 --> 16:14.018
But then his attitude changed.
It was strange...

16:14.102 --> 16:15.019
Isn't he always?

16:15.103 --> 16:16.479
<i>Shut up.</i>

16:16.562 --> 16:19.023
No, I understand why he'd get mad.

16:19.107 --> 16:23.694
I mean, it's like I was saying
that he was free to lose this year.

16:23.778 --> 16:25.071
I only realized it after.

16:25.154 --> 16:26.280
<i>That's true.</i>

16:27.240 --> 16:30.701
<i>But I was just a little sad
about being reminded</i>

16:30.785 --> 16:32.787
<i>that I'm a year behind her.</i>

16:32.870 --> 16:36.249
It's not like you meant it that way.

16:36.332 --> 16:37.542
Of course not!

16:37.625 --> 16:39.794
Then don't worry about it.

16:40.920 --> 16:42.296
I know, but...

16:43.047 --> 16:48.803
Part of it was me realizing
how quickly this year has gone by.

16:48.886 --> 16:52.265
When I think that I only have a year left,

16:52.348 --> 16:55.810
I got a little envious of Taiki.

16:56.561 --> 16:58.855
I didn't say that to encourage him.

16:58.938 --> 17:01.816
I was just expressing my own insecurities.

17:01.899 --> 17:03.317
And I regret that.

17:04.986 --> 17:06.070
Chinatsu.

17:06.654 --> 17:08.406
You're such a nice girl.

17:09.448 --> 17:11.033
That's not...

17:11.117 --> 17:12.451
So pure!

17:13.327 --> 17:14.579
I'm back!

17:14.662 --> 17:16.581
Welcome home!

17:16.664 --> 17:18.457
Congrats.

17:18.541 --> 17:19.458
Thanks.

17:19.542 --> 17:21.586
You got a good doubles partner, huh?

17:21.669 --> 17:23.129
That's not all of it.

17:23.671 --> 17:24.589
Besides,

17:25.423 --> 17:27.258
I'll win my singles matches too!

17:27.341 --> 17:29.093
You don't have to yell.

17:31.637 --> 17:33.097
I'm going to put my stuff away.

17:33.181 --> 17:34.932
Such a busy boy.

17:35.558 --> 17:36.851
<i>If she's feeling insecure,</i>

17:37.894 --> 17:39.937
<i>that's all the more reason I can't lose.</i>

17:41.272 --> 17:45.443
Where does he get all that confidence?

17:46.444 --> 17:49.030
You honestly don't have to worry
about what you said.

17:49.113 --> 17:49.947
No.

17:51.199 --> 17:53.701
I could learn from his example.

18:01.459 --> 18:02.710
Good luck to you.

18:04.795 --> 18:06.005
Rock, paper, scissors!

18:06.088 --> 18:08.007
They're so fired up.

18:08.090 --> 18:10.218
They're only determining who serves first...

18:11.219 --> 18:14.722
Anyway, I heard you put some weird stakes
on this match.

18:14.805 --> 18:16.390
Don't worry.

18:16.474 --> 18:18.684
I won't tell him
if she doesn't want me to.

18:19.227 --> 18:22.104
<i>Chinatsu Senpai
might be too nice to say no.</i>

18:22.188 --> 18:25.316
Besides, I think Taiki's going to win.

18:25.399 --> 18:26.317
What?

18:26.400 --> 18:28.986
Obviously, since I'm the one training him.

18:29.904 --> 18:32.990
In fact, if he loses,
I'll put him through hell.

18:33.074 --> 18:34.075
Shudder!

18:34.575 --> 18:35.534
GIVE YOUR ALL

18:35.618 --> 18:37.995
<i>I'm glad I'm not his doubles partner.</i>

18:38.621 --> 18:40.539
First game. Love-all.

18:40.623 --> 18:41.499
Play!

18:50.299 --> 18:54.220
Still, his smashes are powerful.

18:54.303 --> 18:56.764
He's good at putting his weight behind it.

18:56.847 --> 18:58.432
You can't just return them.

19:05.273 --> 19:06.565
There you are.

19:08.234 --> 19:09.318
What's up, ladies?

19:09.402 --> 19:11.028
What're you doing here?

19:11.112 --> 19:13.864
We had a practice game
against Kita High next door.

19:13.948 --> 19:16.200
We came to check out the tournament.

19:16.284 --> 19:17.827
Is anyone playing?

19:17.910 --> 19:19.203
My doubles partner.

19:20.496 --> 19:22.456
Oh, him? Let's cheer him on.

19:25.543 --> 19:27.878
Is it because we came?

19:27.962 --> 19:29.672
He can't get any attacks off.

19:29.755 --> 19:30.923
Are you one of those people

19:31.007 --> 19:34.468
who think figure skaters fail their jumps
when you watch?

19:35.136 --> 19:37.263
It's probably his strategy.

19:37.346 --> 19:38.472
His strategy?

19:38.556 --> 19:41.726
It takes time to get used to the speed
of someone's smashes.

19:41.809 --> 19:43.477
Taiki's slow at repositioning.

19:43.561 --> 19:47.481
So he's playing defensive at first
to tire out his opponent.

19:48.357 --> 19:51.736
If you look carefully,
his shots are keeping his opponent moving.

19:51.819 --> 19:54.822
The kid's gotten pretty smart.

19:54.905 --> 19:57.283
<i>Match number 15...</i>

19:57.366 --> 19:58.576
I should get going.

19:58.659 --> 19:59.744
Good luck.

20:01.412 --> 20:02.788
Not going to watch up close?

20:03.831 --> 20:05.082
I'm fine here.

20:05.166 --> 20:07.585
So, actually, I know your situation.

20:08.085 --> 20:09.670
Taiki told me.

20:10.212 --> 20:12.256
He said he trusts you.

20:16.260 --> 20:18.512
<i>Okay, she is cute.</i>

20:18.596 --> 20:21.974
There's something nerve-racking
about tournaments.

20:22.058 --> 20:25.061
Each shot feels heavier.

20:27.730 --> 20:28.981
Did you know?

20:29.065 --> 20:32.568
This game has your phone number
on the line.

20:34.111 --> 20:37.031
And just so you know,
Haryu Senpai's to blame.

20:37.114 --> 20:38.532
So take it up with him.

20:39.450 --> 20:41.786
It's just that Taiki
gets nothing for winning.

20:42.453 --> 20:43.746
So,

20:43.829 --> 20:47.291
would you take him to the aquarium
or something if he wins?

20:48.918 --> 20:52.588
We can't use the gym tomorrow anyways,
so there's no practice scheduled.

20:53.172 --> 20:54.048
Besides,

20:54.799 --> 20:58.052
you're part of the reason
he's so motivated.

20:58.135 --> 21:00.930
I doubt I have that much influence on him...

21:01.013 --> 21:02.056
Yeah, you do.

21:02.723 --> 21:06.811
She stayed behind in Japan
by herself to make the nationals!

21:06.894 --> 21:10.064
She practices first thing
in the morning! So will I!

21:10.147 --> 21:12.233
He's easily swayed.

21:13.651 --> 21:17.071
He's always been stubborn.
Once he makes up his mind, that's it.

21:17.947 --> 21:22.326
But even as a friend,
I can say he's been doing well lately.

21:23.119 --> 21:26.831
The old him wouldn't have been able
to pick up those shots.

21:28.416 --> 21:29.708
I'm sure that part of it

21:30.292 --> 21:33.129
is because he has someone close
with the same goals

21:33.212 --> 21:36.841
to keep him disciplined
and motivate him to put in the effort.

21:37.800 --> 21:40.052
So, if he's able to achieve
some good results,

21:40.136 --> 21:42.847
I think he deserves some kind of reward.

21:53.357 --> 21:54.442
Yes!

21:55.359 --> 21:57.361
<i>He's fired up.</i>

21:57.445 --> 21:58.487
Okay.

22:00.281 --> 22:04.160
If Taiki wins, we'll go to the aquarium.

23:31.038 --> 23:36.043
