Chihaya Ayase tries to form a karuta club, but no one takes the club seriously.

The final match is between Taichi and Arata in the annual elementary school karuta tournament.

Chihaya, Arata and Taichi meet Dr. Harada while visiting a Shiranami Karuta Society session.

Chihaya calls Arata to share some news and he tells her not to call anymore, because he has stopped playing karuta.

Chihaya and Taichi travel to see Arata; Arata realizes he still wants to be Chihaya's friend.

Kana agrees to join the club with the condition that Chihaya models kimonos for the store's catalog.
