Taichi has told Chihaya about the feelings he had kept secret for so long. Now he's left the karuta club, and Chihaya's regret over failing to notice how he felt leaves her unable to play.

Habrá ayudado mencionar
el torneo nacional.

E eu acho que termos citado a vitória 
no campeonato nacional funcionou.
Думаю, помогла наша
победа на национальном.
