The Yoshino Tournament features adults and students alike in many impressive matches, and among the participants is Inokuma Haruka, the former Queen who's just returned from maternity leave. But although Chihaya has recovered from the surgery on her finger and regained the use of her dominant hand, she still isn't fully on top of her game. Meanwhile, Taichi has mixed feelings when he finds out that Arata is trying to start a karuta club.
The fall wind parts the wispy clouds
تشقّ رياح الخريف خيوط السحاب
Durch die Wolken,
die der Herbstwind treibt …
Tra le nuvole che fluttuano nel cielo,
 sospinte dal vento autunnale...
Dentre as nuvens que são 
sopradas pelo vento de outono
«Ветер осенний
Гонит облака в вышине».
