Chihayafuru Part I Page #5

I know when the gods abandoned me.

President.

If you realized it, I

think that's well enough.

Also,

I think love is superior

when you are closer.

I'll be cheering for you.

~On Mount Fuji's lofty peak

By the drift of falling snow.~

~On a mountain slope,~

~Solitary, uncompanioned,

Stands a cherry tree.~

You strained too much at the

last covering hand's escape.

You should loosen a bit.

With a snap of your wrist.

It's easy if it's your territory but

if it's in the opponent's territory,

you should thrust more

or you won't reach it.

You should move more with your body.

What's wrong, Kana?

It's so quiet.

It seems like we are the

only people here at school.

Well, it's already this late.

"Morotomo ni" is about a monk

who read the poem when he

endured solitary training.

There was only one cherry tree

that bloom in the mountains,

and he call out to it to be a

friend since they're both alone.

Isn't it a lonely poem?

"On a mountain slope, Solitary,

uncompanioned, Stands a cherry tree."

"Except for you, lonely friend,

To others I am unknown. "

I don't feel lonely at all.

I...

I hear a poem of strong bond.

As long as you're here,

I can endure.

That's why...

I want to know...

...more about you.

Let's win this.

Tomorrow's competition.

Yeah!

Taichi..

Thank you.

About what?

Because you become to love karuta.

Yeah. That makes me

happy the most.

See you tomorrow then.

See you.

Yeah.

Chihaya..

Let's do our best.

Yeah.

Bye bye.

Last prayer?

No way.

Nothing I prayed came true to me.

That's because of my bad habit.

Tomorrow's the day. I'll be

going too to cheer you on.

Sir?

Yes?

The poem "Chihayaburu / held sway in the

ancient days" is about the gods, right?

Yeah. You can say that.

If it's held sway in the ancient days,

the gods will surely be there too.

If it's a mobile suit,

then it's like Gundam.

What's with that example?

Why do you ask?

I met Arata at the last tournament.

So you've met Glasses.

He was so incredible.

That's when I realized it.

No matter how much I spend all my

adolescent life, I can't beat him.

Are you talking about karuta?

There's also that.

Arata

probably thinks that Chihaya

and me are meant for each other.

But despite it all,

I followed Chihaya and

enrolled at Mizusawa.

Even making the karuta club is

only an excuse to be with Chihaya more.

It's not that I really like karuta.

I'm sorry to say that loud

to a karuta instructor.

No, it's alright. I have

somewhat realized it.

I'm like that.

Outwitted.

Tricked.

Snatched.

Hid.

No matter how much I begged,

compared to him, the gods would not

make the poem, Chihayaburu, turn my way.

Eyelashes.

You know the the poem,

"Kono tabi wa", right?

Since he wasn't able

to prepare the offering,

autumn leaves were given as tribute.

A poem where the judgment would

be left to the gods' decision.

"At the present time,"

"Since I could bring no

offering, See Mount Tamuke!"

"Here are brocades of red

leaves, As a tribute to the gods."

You can chant to the gods or to luck.

I think it's the special privilege

to the people who give their best.

You can't win spending

all your adolescence?

Eyelashes.

Say that after you spent it.

We will soon begin the opening ceremony.

Players and officers,

please proceed to the grounds.

As for the operations staff, please

proceed to the designated locations.

I repeat.

We will soon begin the opening ceremony.

Players and officers,

please proceed to the grounds.

Game starts in two minutes.

We will now start the first match.

The reader is Joumori, a

licensed A class reader.

Let's have a good match.

Let's have a good match.

~Naniwa Bay, now the flower

blooms, but for winter.~

~Here comes spring,

now the flower blooms.~

Eikou Academy, fight!

Wait for me.

~Here comes spring,

now the flower blooms.~

I'll be sure to get you.

~From Mount Yoshino~

~Like the salt sea-weed,~

~In the peaceful light~

~In this dire distress~

~Let the winds of heaven~

~Let me show him these!~

Kana, nice!

Thank you.

You're good.

I'm glad.

Just a bit more.

~Just because she said,~

~On a mountain slope,~

~When I turned my look~

Mizusawa, first win!

Mizusawa, 2nd win!

Mizusawa, 3rd win!

With three wins and two loses,

Mizusawa High wins this match.

Thank you very much.

Alright.

I'm having so much fun.

Team matches are so much fun after all!

Okay! Time to eat chocolates!

Your opponent was the strongest.

Don't worry about it.

~If I should go near that shore.

I would only wet my sleeves.~

~In the autumn fields~

Alright!

~Better to have slept~

I've won here.

Komano..

Komano!.

One at a time. One.

Okay.

~Winter loneliness~

Thank you very much.

~In this ancient house,~

~Oh, the foot-drawn trail~

Alright!

~Even when your hate Makes me

stain my sleeves with tears~

Lucky!

Thank you very much.

There's still next year.

[ Mizusawa High School ]

Congratulations on your first win, Kana!

Thank you very much.

Calm down. I think it's

good topping the league.

But looks like our next opponent,

Tomihara West High has one A class player.

A class?

Yeah.

Me, me, me!

I want to fight strong players!

What I'm saying is, so that

we would ultimately win,

we should think more

about the order of lineup.

We will start the semi-finals shortly.

Each school should hand

over the order table please.

Yes, sir!

The key players, me, Ayase,

and Mashima should win.

So that A class player

should be matched with Desk.

That should match with

the opponent's order.

But.

If we do that, we'll have

more chance of winning.

This is how strategy

works in team competition.

Everyone does this when

they reach this level.

Alright!

I was right on correct.

~Lying all alone,~

Got it!

Gotcha!

Got it!

Eight streaks!

Hey, hey. The streaks doesn't stop.

This is an easy win!

Komano! Let's take the next one!

~Can you realize at all The

emptiness of that night?~

~Even when the gods,~

I got the "Chi"!

Alright!

We got the "Chi"!

I also got it.

Alright!

9th streak!

President, that's nice!

What can you guys say

about my order prediction!

Hit the bull's eye.

Next is finally the finals.

That's right.

I can't believe it.

Desk's opponent was really strong.

Right, Desk?

I'll be leaving.

If three members win, that's

enough to have an overall win.

Tests are near too. Truth is,

I don't have time for this.

Desk!

Isn't it to balance out?!

To say such kind words

as I can be the only one!
