Mizusawa High School's karuta club claimed victory in the team competition for the first time at the Nationals in July. However, before they could even take time to relax, Chihaya and Taichi agreed to take part in the Fujisaki High School karuta club's training camp. Awaiting them was Coach Sakurazawa's brutal training regime of stretching, jogging, and playing seven matches each day!
But if I don't get better at karuta,
I won't even get to sit across him,
لكن إن لم أتحسن في الكاروتا، لن أجلس مقابله حتّى
Aber ich muss besser
in Karuta werden,
Pero si no mejoro en el karuta,
no podré sentarme frente a él,
Pero si no mejoro en el karuta,
no podré sentarme frente a él,
… mais je ne peux pas envisager
qu’il me surpasse au karuta.
Però,
Mas se eu não ficar boa em karuta, não 
conseguirei nem sentar na frente dele.
Если не стану играть в каруту лучше,
то я даже не смогу с ним сразиться.
