Chihaya is still lost in the clouds after Arata confessed his feelings to her, making her unable to concentrate on studying for her exams. Kanade and Sumire, who happened to overhear Arata's confession, are debating whether they should tell Taichi or not. In the midst of all this, Chihaya gets a phone call from Sudo, who says someone in his college karuta club wants to play a match with her.
I think the live nationwide broadcast was 
a major source of motivation for him.
ربما كان البث الوطني الحيّ مصدر
تحفيز كبير له
Die landesweite Live-Übertragung
war wohl eine große Motivation für ihn.
Probabile che la diretta nazionale
 fosse una fonte di motivazione per lui.
Será que a transmissão ao vivo 
era uma grande motivação pra ele?
Видимо, трансляция на всю страну —
его главная мотивация.
