The day is drawing near for the National Mahjong Tournament for the prefectural nominations. Saki and Nodoka are at Mako’s house helping with the family’s store. Hisa begins to talk about the training when she really has something up her sleeve.
But! This year our first-year, Nodo-chan will beat 'em!
،ولكن هذا العام هو سنَتُنا الأولى
 ستهزمهن نودو-تشان
¡Pero este año nuestra Nodo-chan 
de primero los vencerá!
Oui, mais cette année, avec Nodo, 
nos 2de vont toutes les battre !
Però... quest'anno sarà la nostra di matricola,
 Nodoka, a vincere!
Mas a Nodozinha, a nossa primeiro-anista,
vai acabar com elas!
