I'm going.
Mm.
Dinner is in the fridge, so please heat it up in the oven.
I will be back by tomorrow evening.
In other words, you're staying the night over there?
It is a training camp.
Wouldn't it be possible for you to come home?
That wouldn't be a training camp then.
Well, I'm going.
Please do not touch my DVD recorder while I am gone.
Under no circumstances!
I like the air humming with energy
My quickening pulse expands outwards
Take in a deep breath
And all I see now is straight ahead
No one can take my place
A path only I can walk
Even those tears will all begin to sparkle
That's why when I raise my hand high, there's power in my palm
I'll head straight for tomorrow without hesitation
In just the blink of an eye
I'll make the story of my dream come true
Even if it's hopeless and far from my grasp
I'll never give up
Sounding the bamboo beat that's mine and mine alone
There we go.
Well, just go ahead and run this thing your way.
My kids have been wanting to fight Tamaki Kawazoe again anyway.
Our Tama's grown even stronger since then!
Must be thanks to the part-time job.
Yes!
Don't admit to that so readily.
Oh, there they are!
Pardon us for being late!
Hey, what happened? Did you get lost on the way from the station?
No, on our way here, Akemi-chan tried to run away,
so Yokoo-san chased after her and crashed into a bicycle,
so Nishi-chan panicked and almost fainted,
so we had to look after her and we were delayed.
That must've been rough.
Yes...
It's your fault for trying to run!
But I've got something to do today...
It's the guy, right?! Break up with him!
Kendo and guys don't mix!
It sounds so convincing coming from Yokoo-san.
A-Anyway, let's all say our greetings! Okay?
We appreciate your hospitality for this training camp!
We're looking forward to receiving your instruction!
Looking forward to it!
Right...
Same here...
Okay, I've got the boys to look after, so I'm going back.
I'll pop in again at night.
Got it. Your hard work's appreciated.
Excuse me, is everyone already waiting for us inside the dojo?
Oh, no, they're at the pool.
The pool?
Something felt slimy just now! Creepy!
You don't get the joys of labor, do you?
This sliminess is the best part of pool cleaning!
Why do we have to do this?
Miya-miya!
Look! Look! Shaolin kung fu!
Dan-kun, you're so cool!
Eiga-kun, try to do that somewhere a little further away...
Hey, good work.
- Good morning! - Good morning!
Pool cleaning... Why?
Is this training for something?
Well, our school's got a bit of a problem
with our chairman of the board's wife's old hag of a neighbor...
Who the heck?
So, unless we do this kind of volunteer work,
I can't get permission for things like training camps.
He's not making any sense.
Well, that's the deal here,
so sorry, but wait for us while we finish cleaning.
Feel free to use the dojo.
Oh, then we'll help, too.
What?!
What? But that wouldn't be right.
Not at all. If we do it together, we'll get it done faster
and we'll be able to get that much more practice in.
I see. Then, we'd appreciate it.
Yes, sir.
Come on, everyone...
Huh?
Say, Yokoo-san.
Aw, man...
Ando-san...
Why?!
Why are you all ignoring me?!
Like, totally unreal, isn't it?
Pool cleaning on a Saturday...
Y-Yeah...
I was supposed to go on a date this evening.
I didn't know...
Wait, this evening?! At night?!
Help me skip out, okay?
I-I tripped and slipped!
Oh, pardon me.
Not at all.
There's something black coming from that direction...
You think so?
Yo.
Oh, hello.
I wasn't able to do anything against you the other day,
but I'm going to try a little harder this time,
so well, I'm looking forward to it.
Right...
Ando, what're you doing?!
Declaration of war, huh?
You fought a match with her, right?
Yeah...
What was her name again?
I guess you don't remember...
All right, that should be good enough!
Hey!
Turn on the water!
Gotcha!
Huh? Hey, it's not coming out!
What? I've turned it on!
You idiot! Stop it! Hey!
Why am I an idiot?
So...
Uh, well, so you know...
...I guess we'll start with some light stretching and running,
and get to know each other in the process.
What? Why? We always start really laid back.
Always is always. Today is today.
Let's get loosened up and get started!
Pair up in twos for stretches.
While we're at it, try to pair up with someone from the other school.
Ishida-sensei.
Oh, Yoshikawa-sensei.
This is awesome. You're really doing a training camp.
Well, it's just two days and one night, though.
But it kind of feels like you're all fired up.
It's a good thing.
Fired up, huh?
I'll bring some refreshments by later.
See you.
Say, Yuuji, you think Kojiro-sensei and Yoshikawa-sensei are an item?
What? No way. They don't look like they are.
You still have yet to understand what's in a woman's heart.
What?
It's the Yamanote Line...
Okay, raise your legs!
There's the Chuo Line...
They look like a flower...
I-I pulled a muscle! A muscle in my leg!
? My uniform won't stop smelling!?
? Rainy season, mold's your friend!?
? Sliding footwork, successive step, sliding step!?
? You can't play golf with a shinai!?
? And you can't play baseball with a shinai!?
What? Then you don't have any third years?
? And you can't play baseball with a shinai!? We technically do, but they're all prepping to get into college, so...
? That's common knowledge for everyone!? We technically do, but they're all prepping to get into college, so...
? That's common knowledge for everyone!? Don't you guys have to worry about that?
? That's common knowledge for everyone!? Yes, well, I figured maybe I'll think about it after the summer tournament.
? There're carbon graphite shinai, too!? Yes, well, I figured maybe I'll think about it after the summer tournament.
? There're carbon graphite shinai, too!? It'd be nice if I could get in through recommendations somewhere.
? There're carbon graphite shinai, too!? It must be tough.
? But they hurt a whole, whole lot!? It must be tough.
? But they hurt a whole, whole lot!?
What are Tamaki and the others doing?
? With shinai it's gotta be the sabuhachi!? What are Tamaki and the others doing?
? With shinai it's gotta be the sabuhachi!? Is that how practice is conducted these days?
? With shinai it's gotta be the sabuhachi!? But what in the world is that song about?
? Machido and Muroe are buddy-buddy friends!?
? Men, Doh, Kote, Kote, Men, Doh, Kote!?
What's wrong, Tama-chan?
? Men, Doh, Kote, Kote, Men, Doh, Kote!? I thought I sensed a presence.
? Men, Doh, Kote, Kote, Men, Doh, Kote!? You sure it wasn't a cat or a dog or an old fox?
? I wonder what's for dinner tonight!? You sure it wasn't a cat or a dog or an old fox?
? I wonder what's for dinner tonight!? It must've been.
? I wonder what's for dinner tonight!? Let's go.
? I wonder what's for dinner tonight!? Yeah.
? I wonder what's for dinner tonight!?
? Meat, meat, veggies, meat, veggies!?
Yuuji-kun...
That's him!
Head guards on!
Begin!
It comes in like this, right?
- Right. - Then you strike back.
- Me! - We can take turns, so I'm saying, let me go first!
- Let me go! - We can take turns, so I'm saying, let me go first!
What's wrong with me going first?!
- Yoko-tan! - Let me go first!
Move!
Men!
Doh!
Kote!
Good, good.
Men!
All right, we'll stop there!
Where did Iwasa and Toyama go?
That was rough!
I've never practiced so much before.
We were at it for about 4 hours, weren't we?
I'm starving!
But I learned a lot!
Thank you!
Right...
I wasn't able to score a single point off Kawazoe-san.
There's no one on our team who can score a point off Tama-chan, either.
Not even your teacher?
Of course not.
Um, perhaps you shouldn't state that so clearly?
Since it's come to this,
I guess we'll just have to try our luck in tomorrow's practice match!
In terms of overall strength, we've got a chance at victory, too!
Asakawa, this time, you also...
Listen!
What're you doing, commander? I'm in the middle of an e-mail.
I'll erase the damn thing!
What?! You're mean!
Hey!
Sensei said we should all go to the public bath before dinner.
He gave us the money for it.
Ooh!
A public bath...
So this is a public bath...
It's kind of been a long time, hasn't it? Coming to a bathhouse...
We haven't been here since our first year when the showers broke.
Is it all right to swim?
No, of course not.
All right, let's go in!
"Let the blood bath begin!"
What? But...
Go home, you.
That was refreshing!
Big baths sure feel great!
Tama-chan, what did you think of your first experience at a public bath?
It was spacious.
Why curry?
When it comes to training camp, you gotta have curry!
I had the lady here make it during the day.
Eat up now!
And for dessert, we've got ice cream, courtesy of Yoshikawa-sensei.
Yay!
You've all worked hard.
They're in the freezer, so take one per person, okay?
Yes, ma'am!
All right, begin eating!
Thanks for the food!
Um, pardon me...
Hey, what's up?
Is there any miso soup?
What?
You eat miso soup with curry?!
Yes. Is that strange?
It's strange.
Oh, but the other day, I accidentally put sugar in the miso soup.
That's got nothing to do with this.
Oh, you're right.
Hey!
Oh, hey there!
Good evening!
I brought you all a treat!
What is it, senpai?
It's sushi!
Sushi, huh?
I got the top-quality stuff!
Tama-chan, what do you think of having sushi with curry?
No.
Being at someone else's school is kind of exciting, isn't it?
Everything's new and different.
Yokoo-san, your response is animalistic.
Oh, it's a cat!
What kind of cat is it?
No idea.
What might your name be meow?
Nishi-chan...
Oh? Aren't we missing one of the members of Machido?
Now that you mention it, where's Akemi-chan?
What?!
She said she was going to the bathroom!
Sorry, everyone!
I'll find enough happiness for all of us!
What the hell was she doing?
Maybe she tripped as she was trying to run away.
Then, the scream we just heard was...
Probably from when she tripped.
Nishiyama, haul her back and put her in bed.
Yes, sir.
Azuma-san.
Yes?
You seem to be having so much more fun than at the start of the year.
It was a good thing that you joined the kendo team.
Yes!
I sensed something similar during the day, too...
Well, I suppose it's all right.
She seemed to be having fun in her own way, after all.
- All right. - Here we go.
Ready!
Start!
Kirino!
Hurry! Hurry!
One, two! Hurry up! Kirino! Go for it!
Kirino! Kirino! Fight! Hurry up!
Yoko-tan, go for it!
You guys have no spunk! More cheering!
Senpai, go for it!
Yokoo-san, you can win this! Fight!
Damn it all!
Aw, Muroe High wins!
So, we couldn't even win at something like this.
Shut up!
Oh, I know what you mean.
Hey, Kawazoe-san...
Okay, everyone, please listen up for a bit! Please listen up!
I have actually composed a song for today for our two kendo teams!
Thank you. Thank you.
And I would love to perform it for you.
That's awesome, Saya! Sing for us!
The title is "Respect My Friend Forever with True Love."
That's long.
And now, please enjoy!
Let's have a pillow fight!
When it comes to training camps, you gotta have pillow fights!
Yokoo-san, you're thinking of school trips.
Shut up!
Since it's come to this,
I'm winning against Muroe, no matter what it takes!
Why did you throw at me?!
You don't value your life, do you?
So this is a pillow fight.
Tama-chan, you're not having any fun sitting over here. Come on!
Right.
I see things flying over there...
Why do we have to be over here?
It's obvious, isn't it?
This is what gentlemen do.
Come on, hurry up and go to sleep.
I'm turning out the lights.
I won't be able to fall asleep so early.
Already?!
Tama-chan!
I'm all awake for some reason, so...
Maybe I'm excited because this is our first training camp.
I see.
When I think of last year, I can't believe this is happening.
To think everyone would be so motivated...
It's thanks to you, you know.
What?
I think the kendo team changed because you joined.
I think that's why it's so fun and we're working so hard now.
So, thank you.
Please...
Please, that's not true...
Besides, I also...
Please don't play with me.

Good morning!
Thanks for having them over.
Not at all, it was good practice.
Good luck in the Nationals Prelims!
Thanks! You too!
Later!
- See you! - Bye-bye!
Bye-bye!
- Take care! - I wish you well!
I have returned.
Ah, you're back.
How was the training camp?
It was a lot of fun.
That was good then.
Yes.
"Chiba Deli" Yes.
"Chiba Deli"
I'm back!
Mom?
Why don't you have the lights on?
Mom?!
I'm calling the star rise
The wishes begin to sparkle in the twilight
Shooting stars, come down into my hands
Barefoot by my window, looking up at the night
Sleepless, alone with the moonlight
What I did during the day flickers before my eyes
I'm the only one spinning my wheels and I still feel impatient
I'm calling the star rise
I close my eyes, listening to my heart
I want to meet the me that I haven't gotten to know yet
I'm calling the star rise
The wishes are sparkling brilliantly
Shooting stars, come down into my hands
Hello! Ando here!
Honestly! Left in the hands of these two,
our plot to conquer the world is getting nowhere.
At this rate, the show will end before I can realize Andoland,
an ideal nation of me, by me, for me.
Starting now, I will put the screws to Braver myself.
That aside, next time, we will be bringing you...
..."Kirino's Absence and the Preliminary Tournament."
Why don't you just watch the next episode, too?
