Matsuda, pull yourself together!
Sorry. Because of me, we...
You won your match. We're the team event champions!
Get some ice!
I'll call an ambulance.

What happened to him?
Probably heat stroke.
All the windows are closed, and they're in Okinawa.
What about the AC?
I doubt it was doing much.
Ah, Hana! How's Matsuda-kun?
They're taking him to the hospital as a precaution.

He said I'd regret it if I didn't come.
Huh.
Koki, thank you.
I never came to your classes or sports events because I was always working.
I had no idea watching my own child fight could give me so much joy.
You were on fire.
Well, we are on a tropical island.
You were so passionate.
You've changed so much since I last saw you.
I've been through a lot.
I wanted the strength to make it thought life alone.
My studies, badminton... I thought everything I did was to train myself for that.
But at some point, I stopped being alone.
Your phone keeps buzzing.

And eating together is living together.

Also, that Yusa-kun has such a pretty face.
I know.
You should've come with us.
It's better for there to be some distance between us.
But you're watching because you're curious, aren't you?
Even when I try to be careful, I'm tempted to tell them what to do.
What's wrong with that?
It's not as valuable when someone tells you what to do.
Is it really that complicated?
Our father is a judicial scrivener. Our mother works for a cosmetics company.
Then, there's me and my younger brother.
Two busy parents and two kids.
Look after Ryo for me.
You can count on me, mom.
Taking care of my brother was a fun experience.
I was interested to see how Ryo would develop under my influence.
I was worried about Ryo, since he was such an easy kid.
Since he was fairly good at things,
I thought he'd become someone who was satisfied by fairly good results.
How do you truly feel? What do you want to do?
You have to think for yourself and make your own decision.
I like people who establish their own goals and attempt to achieve them for themselves.
What do you really want to do? Say it out loud.
His own strength got Ryo into Yokohama Minato,
and he's challenging Japan's best high school badminton players through his own hard work.
That's who I wanted him to become.
It's what I wanted for him, but...
Look after him for me.
I think Mizushima-kun will be fine.
What?
I'm sure he'll get back up on his own.
This is probably a sign that I should let him become independent.
You must be the only one not making any progress.
You're always talking down to me!
Maybe I was forcing my vision of who I wanted him to be onto him.
Come to think of it, in my third year...
You should stop coming.
Why? Yusa works harder when he sees me.
Stop trying to manipulate people all the time.
Yu
We won the team event. All I have to do now is win the doubles and singles tournaments.
I'm too manipulative.
I don't want to influence them unnecessarily anymore.

The next day, the individual event doubles tournament began.
The Higashiyama twins and team Yusa and Yokokawa
advanced to the quarterfinals without any issues.
Both teams advanced in the doubles individual event! (I'm not playing though.) Yusa-san seems in good shape.

Mom
We saw the games.
Dad
You'll be playing tomorrow.
My sister's leaving me on read.
Maybe she's busy.
The day after that, the individual event singles tournament began.
Come on!
Game and match won by Yusa-kun of Yokohama Minato High School.
Yeah!
Game and match won by Mizushima-kun of Yokohama Minato High School.
It's hot, isn't it?
It's not so bad.
Got the energy to make it to the end?
I've trained harder than you.
Has Rika-san said anything to you?
She's not responding.

Aw, c'mon. I don't care about the other schools. Just show us Yokohama Minato.
Either Yusa-san or Mizushima.
They're between matches right now. They're not gonna show 'em.
What? They're still playing even though they won the other day?
They won the team event.

After that, there are the singles and doubles individual events.
So how are they doing?
They'll definitely be in the doubles final. The singles final, we'll know soon.
The finals are tomorrow.
Yusa-san's the favorite,
so if Mizushima makes it to the final, it'll be teammate versus teammate.
Yusa Kento aside, how's Mizushima? Is he good enough to make it that far?
You're only saying that because you don't know how hard Mizushima's been working.
I'll get seats for you guys, so you'd better cheer for him, too.
You can do it!
Matsuda-kun
and Mizushima!
You can do it!
Matsuda-kun
and Mizushima!
Ryo
Yusa-san advanced to the semifinals. By the way, so did I.
That was heavy.
Ryo made it to the final day.
I know.
Are you still dragging your feet?
Dragging my feet?
Well, it's clear how you feel, but you're not doing anything about it.
Ryo's out there fighting right now.
You're the one who pushed him because you wanted him to be that way.
So what do you want to do? Say it out loud.
I want to watch Ryo win!
I want to watch Ryo and Yusa fight each other in person!

I'll need this, too.
I'll call a taxi.
Kanagawa
To Haneda, please. Take the highway.
Now, where is it?
Yusa-san, what are you doing?
Didn't Ebihara-sensei tell us not to jog today?
Well, aren't you the pot calling the kettle black.
You got me there.
Mizushima, you'll never be a good player if you just do as you're told.
You mean I need to think and make decisions for myself, right?
That's right. That's Yokohama Minato's style.
Tomorrow, I'm making it to the final.
You'll face Date in your semifinal.
He's a strong opponent. You and Date-san are the closest to winning the whole thing.
You may not be able to beat Date.
You're telling me to beat Date-san and advance to the final, aren't you?
You're saying it in a way that'll anger me on purpose.
Why would I do that?
No matter who advances, it's all the same to me.
You're lying.
You're always thinking about us.
Unless you make people think Yokohama Minato will be strong even after you graduate,
strong players won't come to us.
That's why you're telling me to make it to the final.
I really didn't think about it that hard.
You've been like that from the start.
Being friendly wouldn't make us stronger, so you were hard on us.
You overestimate me. I just enjoy being mean to weak players.
You're never honest about your feelings.
So are you doing all of this for a date with my sister?
If you're trying to win the triple crown so you can go on a date with my sister,
what are you going to do after that?
Hey, come on now. Do you really believe I think about Rika-san 24/7?
You don't?
I do.
So you do.
I don't know why I'm playing badminton anymore.
I set my goals high and work hard to reach them.
Then I see the next goal. I repeat that over and over.
You sound like an Olympic athlete.
I'm gonna play in the Olympics.
That's what I'm planning to say when they interview me after.
I'm the one who runs. I'm the one who swings my racket.
I don't do it for Rika-san.
He's already at that point?
My sister egged me on.
In my third year of middle school, I simply looked up to you.
I thought it'd be nice to go to Yokohama Minato, but I wasn't working to get there.
If I'd stayed like that, I likely would've only done fairly well in my studies and badminton.
But that's when my sister gave me a push.
She said if I wanted something, I should work hard to seize it.
She taught me that at a critical moment,
and now, you're finally within reach.
You two have a nice relationship.
I guess you could say that.
Hypothetically, if Rika-san and I were to date, how would you feel?
Oh, go right ahead. If you'd be happy with someone like her, you're welcome to date her.
Really?
I'd be grateful if someone took her off my hands.
If that ever happened, what would you call me?
What?
I'll ask Rika-san where she wants to go on our date.
She'll tell me I can decide.
How should I immediately respond to her question, Mizushima?
I'm always thinking several steps ahead.
Yusa-san's been made to wait so long, he's gone crazy.
I can't stop smiling, Mizushima.
Tomorrow, I'll win the singles and doubles tournaments,
and Rika-san will be mine!
That's not going to happen.
Rika-san?
Sis?
After all, my brother Ryo's gonna stop you from winning.
Right?
Why are you here?
You two are facing off against each other. How could I miss such an exciting game?
You make it sound so easy. I'm not even sure I'll make it to the final.
Oh, don't be such a wimp. Say what you're gonna do, then do it.
That's what Yusa and I do.
Go on, say it.
Tell him you won't let him take your sister.
But that's not how I feel.
Then I'll say, "No, stop! Don't fight over me!"
Yusa-san, I've always wanted to ask this,
but what's so great about my sister?
Why aren't you saying anything?
And so, the final day of the Inter-High arrived.
Hey.
Huh? Rika-san?
You came?
Of course I came. Ryo and Yusa are playing each other.
The doubles and singles individual event champions would be determined today.
It didn't all go well.
In their semifinal match, Taichi got injured in the second game.
Yoji did his best to cover for him,
but they couldn't contend with the pair from Saitama Futaba, Date and Takeda.
Mizushima!
You were just unlucky. Yusa-san and Yokokawa-san will avenge—
Beat Yusa-san for us!
In the singles.
What?
We wanted to play Yusa and Yoko on the big stage.
We wanted to surpass them.
It's up to you!
It's all you!
In the doubles final...
Team Yusa and Yokokawa shut out Saitama Futaba.
The singles semifinals came next.
Yusa-san advanced to the final without any issue, and I...
I had a fire burning inside me.
Game and match won by Mizushima-kun of Yokohama Minato High School.
Yes!
I finally have the right to say this.
Today, I'll make you say you're glad I was the one who made it to the final.
And...
Yusa-san. I will beat you.
Fine.
I'll crush you so badly, you'll think you couldn't beat me in a hundred years!
m 0 0 l 100 0 100 100 0 100
Next Time
He taught me by serving as an example.
I've fervently chased him until now.
Today, I will surpass him.
Yusa-san, I'm nervous.
But more than that, I'm excited.
