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.
Even if I'm turned to mincemeat, 
I'll never hate karuta!
!حتّى لو قُطّعت لأجزاء، لن أكره الكاروتا أبداً
Selbst als Portion Hack würde ich
Karuta noch mögen!
Même s’il m’atomise,
j’aimerai toujours le karuta !
Anche se mi farà a pezzettini,
 non odierò mai il karuta!
Mesmo que eu seja destruída, 
não vou odiar karuta!
Я всё равно не разлюблю каруту!
