Ako, Shizuno, and Nodoka were best friends in middle school, often going to Achiga Girls’ School to play Mahjong.  But as time passed, they saw each other less and less of each other.  That was until Shizuno saw Nodoka win the middle school Mahjong Singles tournament.  She is determined to meet her friend again, at the inter-high mahjong tournament!
But something like pride 
is not allowing me to.
لا، كبريائي لا يسمحُ لي بذلك
¡No! ¡Mi orgullo no me permitiría eso!
¡No! ¡Mi orgullo no me lo permite!
Non, je suis trop fière pour ça !
No! Non so perché, 
ma purtroppo il mio orgoglio me lo impedisce.
Mas meu orgulho não me permite fazer isso.
