Summer vacation is over, and the second school term has begun. Having learned that playing on a team expands the possibilities of karuta, Arata musters up his courage and tries to start a karuta club at his school. Meanwhile, Mizusawa High's karuta club has begun practicing in preparation for the Master/Queen qualifiers, but then they learn something that makes them doubt their chances of participating in the qualifiers at all...
I couldn't win, but I wore 
him down as much as I could.
!لم أتمكن من الفوز، لكن أرهقته قدرما أستطيع
Ich habe nicht gewonnen,
No pude ganar,
pero lo agoté tanto como pude.
No pude ganar,
pero lo cansé tanto como pude.
Même si j’ai perdu,
Anche se non ho vinto,
Eu não consegui vencer, mas tirei 
o máximo que pude dele.
Я не сумел победить, но измотал его как мог.
