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. But some new members have joined Mizusawa's karuta club, and among them is Tamaru Midori, a Class A player. She is a promising new member, but also a troublemaker.
W-We lost that one, but we'll get 'em next time!

na próxima a gente consegue!
М-мы эту карту пропустили,
но возьмём следующую!
