Shinobu-chan is the one who is leading the way. Isn’t that exciting? She blooms faster than anyone else and will create an era where exceptional players can flourish.
Ever since I met Arata, every day of my life has been filled with karuta. I want to get better at it, to get stronger. To become a person who can respond to that passion in kind.
My karuta is a flowy karuta that goes with the flow. It’s not meant for changing fate. Even after I let go of the room’s image, it’s still so simple for my heart to reach out for it. For a future where the three of us could be together again.
I once heard that the doors to most opportunities have no knobs on them. You can’t open them yourself. The question is whether or not you can leap straight through the moment someone else opens one for you. Can you show your strength in that moment or not?
This tale started with the three of them, involved many people into it along the way, and came this far with none of the three yielding. Let’s keep our eyes peeled, and see what will happen. By the time today is due, the three will become two and one.
