Chapter 1 - Trying Hyakunin isshu karuta

= Hanasakigawa girls' High school - Hallway ==

Sayo : But, it's not that easy to find someone who wants to play with us, right?
Aya : Don't worry! We could definitely find someone! Ummm--, Is there anyone we can invite...
Aya : Ah! Good timing! Oyyy--, Chisato-chan!
Chisato : Hmm, Aya-chan. Also Sayo-chan too. What are you two doing?
Aya :  Do you want to play Hyakunin isshu karuta with us right now!?
Chisato : What an abrupt invitation. But, I'm sorry, I have a job after this.
Aya : Ah, I see. You have a photoshoot today, right! What a shame.
Chisato : I'm sorry. I want to participate too if I can.
Chisato : ...Anyway, Aya-chan. Don't tell me, did you stick your nose into other people business again?
Aya : Eek, That...A, ahaha... But it's not something weird!
Sayo : I'm sorry, I'm the one that makes Maruyama-san get involved.
Sayo : This time, the student council is planning to hold a Hyakunin isshu karuta tournament, so I ask her to help me.
Chisato : Aaah, Come to think of it, I heard something similar from literature teacher before.
Chisato : Well it can't be helped. I bet Aya-chan forced you to let her join after she heard that, right?
Aya : Uuuu, How did you know that~!?
Sayo : No, That's my...!
Chisato : Fufu, That's just a joke. That's why you don't need to worry, Sayo-chan.
Chisato : More importantly, Aya-chan. If you're going to do this, then you need to make sure you get a good grade in classical literature after this. Do you understand?
Aya : Yep! No problem!.... Probably.
Chisato : I have great expectation of you. Well then. good luck.
Aya : Yep! See you later~!

== 15 minutes later ==

Aya : We have asked so many people... but nobody wants to play with us.
Sayo : It can't be helped. Everyone who is still in this school at this time is mostly someone who have a club activity.
Aya : How troubling...
Hagumi : Is there something troubling you?
Aya : Waaa!? Hagumi-chan... and Kanon-chan!
Kanon : I meet Chisato-chan earlier. And then she asks me to accompany Aya-chan if I have the time.
Hagumi : So we come here!
Aya : Thank you, both of you! I also need to thanks Chisato-chan later!
Sayo : Then let's go to the student council room, I'll explain the detail over there.
Aya : Yes. You're right! Then, Let's go to the student council!
Hagumi : Goo--!

==Hanasakigawa girls' High school - Student council room ==

Sayo : First, both of you need to remember the placement of the card.
Hagumi : Okay.
Sayo : The time will be 15 minutes. Then, start!
Sayo : ... I'm sorry, Matsubara-san. Sorry for getting you and Kitazawa-san involved.
Kanon : Don't worry, I'm also having fun.
Kanon : Even so, When I heard that you need our help, I never imagined that it's to play Hyakunin isshu karuta together.
Sayo : Yes. The student council is planning to hold Hyakunin isshu karuta tournament. but I never played it before, so I don't know what should I do.
Sayo : Then, Maruyama-san gave a suggestion to try playing it first.
Kanon : I see. That's just like, Aya-chan.
Sayo : Yes. Anyway... it's about time. Then, let's start.
Aya : Yes!
Sayo : [Since summer night , no sooner arrived than, it gave way to dawn]
Aya : Summer night, summer night..
Hagumi : Hmmm? I don't see any card like that though?
Sayo : ... Don't tell me, did both of you search the card that has the same poem that I read?
Kanon : Ahaha... You see, in Hyakunin isshu karuta the card that you need to search is the one that has the continuation of the poem that was read by the reader.
Aya : Ehhh!? But I don't know what the continuation is~.
Kanon : Don't worry. The reader will also read the continuation.
Aya : Really!? Alright then.
Sayo : [Where among the cloud has, the moon found a place to stays]
Hagumi : Here!!!
Aya :  Eh!?
Kanon : Hagumi-chan grabs the card just now, right? I can't see her hand movement at all...!
Hagumi : Ehehe--! Hagumi doesn't really know about Hyakunin isshu, but I'm good at playing Karuta!
Sayo : Her reaction speed is really fast. But, the main goal of this tournament is to make the student remember the Hyakunin isshu.
Kanon : Ahaha... But it's not a foul play, so it's okay, right?
Aya : Yes! Let's keep on going!
Aya : Alright, I'll definitely get the next one--!
