01x07 - Can I Have One?

[bunniefuu]

Mom, where's my towel?

I left it out for you.

-There it is.
-What a nuisance.

Sorry.

Ah!

♪

lowly [e.g. child]

Ah!

Okay, you lose.

One more match, please.

[Hariou] Nope

[OHHH!]Please!

You'll make a habit of losing.

Umm...

If you lose too many times to someone

-You'll be in a world of hurt when you
-face them in the tournament.

[Club member A]
Are you talking about yourself Haryu?

He's always getting his a*s kicked by Hyodo from Sajikawa

Ugh...

（Last time...]
-In the last tournament, he lost to Hyodo
-and came in 3rd in the prefecture.

Hyodo went to become the national champion!

Say that again?

Let's get some hit it

[Club member A] Right, eh, he.

hmm

Well, me, too.
I've got a lot to practice.

You've to do little thinking about yourself.

-In doubles, we maybe are partners.
-but in singles, we're enemies.

Okay...

Yes, sir.

-I'll be aiming my smashes at
-your ba*ls next time

What?

（Nagisa]That pass was so close, wasn't it?

-Oh.
-[Chinatsu]Oh..

Good work today.
-[Chinatsu] same to you.

Good job.

The basketball team's practice looks tough.

We've got a tournament coming up

We want to reach nationals for our own sakes, but

I want to see the seniors also make it too.

Wow. What a strong sense of duty.

This guy...
doesn't seem to have thought about that sort of thing.

When do you guys have perfectural qualifiers?

Next Saturday

Starting next Saturday. What about the badminton club?

You guys start on the 18th, right?

How do you know that Chinatsu?

It was in the school newsletter.

I didn't know people actually read that.

It's funny, I like the principal's satirical poems.

I didn't know they printed such things

I wonder if she keeps

Track of my matches too.

Only 10 days are left until the Prefectural Qualifier
for nationals.

As Haryu Senpai said.

I'd better up my game
with the remaning time I have.

Ahhh!
Why didn't I practice

More backhand drives when I had the time

Ah!

Chinatsu Senpai!

She's carrying a lot of bags

Should I talk to her?

（Taiki] I'll carry it.

Really? Aw!

But...

If someone were to see us.

Hmmm...

A high school girl?
-Cute, isn't she?

Haha...

I'll carry your things for you!

They look so heavy

Taiki, it's okay. They're not that heavy.

You're probably tired from practice too

Beside that time...

-To return to the same house with a girl
-is pretty embarrassing for me

Urk[good memory]...

All right, let's take two.

Oh...

Isn't that Chinatsu Kano from the basketball team?

Fancy running into you here

Do you live around here?

I also live this way.

Your bag look heavy.

I'll hold it, for muscle training!

excuse me

What is this?

Is your home this way too, Taiki?

Yes, what a coincidence

It certainly is.

（Oh, my!]
I live in a two-story stand-alone house.

So do I.

There's a chiropractor nearby.

I know.

I only just moved here this March

Do you like it? Are you comfortable?

Super comfortable.

Everyone is really nice and caring.

They're friendly and they treat me well.

And...

I had a goal I'd been ready to give up on

But thanks to them, I can still work toward it.

Besides, I'll be able to challenge myself more

I'm glad I'm living in that house.

[Taiki] Chinatsu senpai!

Rock, paper, scissors, rock

-[Taiki] Yes, I won!
-[Chinatsu] I don't get it

Sorry to do this to you when you've
already had a long day, but

Would you come with me for a little while?

Huh？

It is just around the corner!

Ever since I was little, whenever I've
got something important on my mind, I come here

[Chinatsu] A Shrine

Let's go, pray that we win!

I didn't know there was such a place here.

When summer comes
You can catch beetles here!

Bugs creepy[aye cute]

[sound of clapping hands] For her dream of nationals

Chinatsu senpai moved into someone else's home

I have no ulterior motives whatsoever

This is a prayer for her as someone
in the same boat

Please...

Please may Chinatsu Snepai
and I make it to nationals

Set up another net in the rear
court too.

[Member] Wait, Are you sure? What about the other clubs?

[Hariu] It'll be fine

[Member] Oh, that's right

The basketball team is starting its tournament today

[Cheers]

[font [Basketball club members]
Eimei! Eimei! Eimei!

Natsu!

[Whistle]

[Referee] Final score 78 to 54
Eimei High School wins!

-[Member] Good job!
-[Member] Yeah!

[Opponent player crying]

-[Nagisa] Nice one, Chinatsu!
-[Chinatsu] Uhuhu!

[Nagisa] Coo Coochie Cooochie

Nagisa, stop it, I'm all sweaty

[Nagisa]
It's a coo coochie cooochie victory celebration rustling

[Kikuchi] Nagi, don't get too excited about it.

The preliminaries have only just begun.

Aw, what's the harm?

Should I do it to you too senpai?

You gotta go all out when there's
reason to be joyful

I'll admit, it's good having someone
one like you on the team.

Nah.

[Whistle]

[Kikuchi] Looks like they won too.

[Senior]
I thought so. Who will we face in the finals this year?

Kagohara Gakuen?

We have to get revenge for last year's loss.

Chinatsu! What're you zoning out for?

I was just thinking how I want to win

Then show it on your face

Huh? What sorta face should I make?

[Girls' basketball coach] All right, let's head back to school.
Be on the bus in 10 minutes.

[Team members] Okay!

[Nagisa] Let's go to the restroom

[Chinatsu] Okay

-I know that pass would with three defense was.
-Ah.

It's the girl from Kagohara

[Kagohara member A]This is a video of the match Eimei
just finished right?

So Kano-san is number 10 there?

[Kagohara member B]
She's no big deal.

I don't think she's improved much since our practice match.

Shw won't stand a chance against me.

Honestly, what a letdown.

[Nagisa] Hmmm!

[Chinatsu] Nagisa

Let's go

But!

Of course you'd scout out schools you might be playing against

Whatever they think after seeing that is up to them

Even you say all sorts of things when you're
watching the pro league

Ugh...

Why don't we use the bathroom upstairs?

Haa...

Ugh!

[Referee] 21 to 14


Haa haa...

[Too bad

That makes zero wins out of 13 matches this month

But it made for a good warm-up

Darn it... I want to win at least one match before the tournament

I've got to spped up my footwork

Who's he calling a warm up?

- [Kikuchi] Get everything ready
-[Taiki] Ah

[Girls' basketball team members] Kay!

[Taiki] Oh, it;s the girls' basketball team.

[Kyou] Since the match for today is over.
They must've come to get some practice in.

I see.

They won today, right?

That's what the girls said

Then why doesn't she look happy

[Taiki] Granted. She can't afford to relax
until they win the whole thing

[Nagisa]
If I were Chinatsu I'd be livid!

[Taiki] They're on the basketball team...

Just from watching a tiny clip of our game,
They're spouting stuff like "She's no big deal" and
she hasn't improved much.

[Team member] We can't complain about every little comment people make.

I know, but still.

We know waht she's going through,
Her living situation.

For the sake of the basketball club and team.
She's living in a relative's house

That shows how much determination she has.

[Club member] Yes, but...

No, I get it, I get it

But the other team doesn't know about that and
it doesn't matter to the game

But we know a person called Chinatsu Kano

That's what makes it so upsetting to hear what they say.

So that's why earlier

[Taiki] Even Chinatsu-senpai gets talked about that way

Even though she's perfect in my eyes

Chi-!...

Nagisa and the others will hear us

What are you doing? You should've told me you were there.

[Chinatsu] I guess I was spying on your eaver dropping.

[Taiki] Ah...

[Taiki] Again with her cute expressions.

She's a good teammate

[Club member] The same goes for them too

[Nagisa] I know that.

You're lucky.

[Chinatsu]
Even thought Nagisa wasn't the one being bad-mouthed

Don't let it bother you.

No matter what others say.

Your teammates are the one who knows what
you're capable of

and how hard you've worked to get here

-[Taiki] So...
-[Chinatsu] No, I'm going to let it bother me.

[Chinatsu] And then I'm gonna win.

And when I plau Kagohara and beat them.

They'll never speak that way about me ever agian.

[Taiki] Such a sadist

[Taiki]I can feel her sadism.

She's the type to fume quietly.

[Chinatsu] It's true that Kagohara saw me play.
And thought that about me.

Which means my only choice.

Is to show them what I'm really capable of on the court.

[Excited] She's so cool...

I'm impressed

Chinatsu-senpai and Hina each have their own way

of being obsessed with winning

[Girls' basketball coach]
At tomorrow's semi-finals

It'll be an even tougher battle

Don't lose your spirit

[Team members] Yes!

[Everyone] Wow!

[Member B] Hey! Is this for real?

Haa haa haa...

[Member C] Taki just won

[Member A] A set against Haryu

Haa haa haa...

[Referee] Second game
Love all play

[Taiki]
The thing I hate most about playing against Hariu-senpai is

When he returns the shot somewhere unxepected

The moment I think he's gonna drop right by the net

And I shift my balace forward, he returns it to toward the back

And since his form doesn't change

I can't tell what'll happen until the very last moment

So I'll hold off on moving as long as I can

And keep a close watch on his racket

Okay, I returned it.

Now get back to the center again...

Ha!

[Hariyu] That was close one

I had let my guard down

Taiki, until recently you wouldn't able to
keep up with what I just did.

I'm glad I learned it before the tournament.

[Member D] Haryu's in serious competition mode now

[Member E] Not many guys can keep up with Haryu

Yeah, there isn't

[Member D] Taiki has gotten better

He's clearly faster now.

Guess this is the result of all that practice

[Member E]Maybe-just-maybe he'll have a shot

at the tournament tomorrow.

[Whistle]

[Yuasa] Okay everyone, it's time to leave.

Huh? but things were just getting good.

[Yuasa] I don't wan the director getting on my case.

Besides you don't want to overdo it the day before.

Don't come crying to me when your'all worn
out by the final day.

[Hariyu] But!

You can continue this at the finals

Not that I know when you might go against each other

Ah...

[Haryu] Guess that's that

We'll continue this match another time.

Don't lose until you face me.



I won't!

[Member] Ok let's put it away!

[Members] On it!

[Excited] Am I putting up a decent fight?

Compared to before I'm actually scoring points

Depending on the shape I'm in I might
be able to beat Haryu Senpai.

Maybe even Sajikawa, maybe even nationals..

-Hey, Taiki
-[Taiki] Hm?

I've been wondering something for a while.

If you end up goint to nationals,
are you going to ask her out?

Eh?

[Excited] I like you!

[Chinatsu] Kay...

Can I call you "Taiki"?

I wish I could stay with you longer.

[Excited] Ahhhhh~

I'm not talking about anything nearly that significant..

I take it you're itching to tell her how you feel.

No, it's not that.

Of course I want to ask her out, but..

What if... by some chance

What if she turns me down?

She'd have a hard time continuing to live in my house.

They say it's better to regret doing something
than to regret not doing it, but..

I don't want to do anything that would ignore her needs.

While I just push my feelings on her.

Ah...

You've grown so much

How old am I?

-[Nishida] Taiki! Kyo!
-[Both] Ah

[Nishida] Hey!

[Excited] What are you guys up to?

[Nishida] Yamamo-chan here

[Yamamoto] He means Mr. Yama-moto.

Said he'd treat us anything we want before the tournament.

It's up to 500 yen per person

[Yamamoto] That was only for you guys...

[Taiki and Kyo] Don't mind if we do!

[Yamamoto] Hey!

[Taiki] He's such a good teacher

[Kyo] Mr. Yuasa would never treat us anything

[Taiki] I wonder what should I buy?

I'd love to go to the beach with Chinatsu-senpai

What you mean to say is
You just want to see her in a swimsuit, don't you?

[Chinatsu] Taiki-kun!

That has nothing to do with our earlier conversation.

First of all, I want to go to more places together,
just the two of us

And next time, I'll ask her myself

If I get to go to nationals..
I feel like she'd say yes.

So...

[Nina] So like that test we just had, oh that,
can you treat us too.

[Yamamoto] No, that was...

If I had done the workbook they gave out at the beginning of the semester

I should have been able to solve it easily

[Nina] When was that

Oh...

[Kyo] I forgot to buy something...

[Hina]



That's a fine meal you've got there!

[Taiki] Ah!

That's my fried chicken!

But the teacher paid for it

I thought you were watching your calories!

It's protein!

[Excited] And don't forget deep fried!

[Nishida] Those two are so close.

[Yamamoto] You said it, their youth is dazzling me...
you sound like an old fart, say that again?

[Taiki] This is a fried chicken as in fried chicken!

[Hina] Okay, I get it

I'll bring you some as a gift on your last day

So you better win a bunch

The great Hina will make you one of her special boxed lunches.

[Taiki] Huh?

[Taiki]After the conversation we had

It's hard to look her in the eye.

[Nagisa] What about us? give is more!

[Yamamoto] Ggh... The one who runs away wins!

-[Nishida] Don't underestimate us athletes!
-[Nagisa] Ah, wait!

Chinatsu-senpai. Aren't you going to have
him treat you to anything?

[Chinatsu] He said he's all out of cash.

So...

Can I have one?

Bdmp...

Here you go

[Chinatsu]Thanks!

[Taiki] You really like eating, don't you?

I didn't know you were that hungry?

[Chinatsu] Well..

Seeing Chono made me jeaolus

Huh?

Thanks for the snack

Now I feel like I can give the game my all

[Nagisa] Chinatsu!

coming

[Excited] Whne she said she was jealous

She was talking about fried chicken right?

Or it could have been.
