Summer vacation is over, and the second school term has begun. Having learned that playing on a team expands the possibilities of karuta, Arata musters up his courage and tries to start a karuta club at his school.

it is as though pearls have been 
strung across the autumn plain

Осенний ветер
Капли белой росы разметал
По всему полю.
