Taichi has told Chihaya about the feelings he had kept secret for so long. Now he's left the karuta club, and Chihaya's regret over failing to notice how he felt leaves her unable to play. But some new members have joined Mizusawa's karuta club, and among them is Tamaru Midori, a Class A player. She is a promising new member, but also a troublemaker.
Minamoto no Shigeyuki 
When winds send waves crashing against the rocks in vain, I recall how my own efforts were in vain
ميناموتو نو شيغيوكي
عندما ترسل الرياح الأمواج لتصطدم بالصخور هدراً
أتذكر كيف ضاعت جهودي هباءً
Minamoto no Shigeyuki
Così come le onde spinte dal vento
si infrangono contro l'impassibile roccia,
così ora è solo il mio cuore a infrangersi,
preoccupato di quello che fu.
Minamoto no Shigeyuki 
Quando o vento envia ondas que batem em vão nas rochas, lembro-me dos meus esforços que foram em vão
МИНАМОТО-НО СИГЭЮКИ

Как ветер жесток,
Бьются волны в недвижные скалы,
Будто это я сам:
Во мне всё рвётся на части
Теперь, в ненастливый час.
