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.

"I drown in idols, and then, a bog of you.

«Я тону в идолах,
а потом — в трясине твоей.
