Time 見つけたい to discover my own precious time
get to the paradise
Let's go to paradise
Good morning, Echizen.
Good morning, Oishi-senpai.
It's rare, isn't it? You don't sleep too much.
I couldn't sleep well with the heat it was in the morning.
Hey! Oishi!
It's terrible!
Good morning, Eiji.
Good morning.
It-It's terrible!
Come soon!
H-Hey, Eiji!
Memories of the Golden Duo
W-What are we supposed to do?
Takadai Park - Major renovation - Scheduled for removal
Scheduled Removal?
Yes, that's it!
They suddenly decided to take the container away!
In other words, the container will be taken soon...
The place where we always argued about our problems will disappear!
That is true...
"That is true"?
How can you say that so casually?!
Don't you have anything else to say? Like "I'm sad" or something?
Have you forgotten the time when we used to stand on top of this shipping container?!
Hey... Eiji...
There is?
Do you remember? When did we meet?
It was two years ago,
when we were freshmen.
Title: "How to Improve in Doubles"
"In doubles, it's vital that the two think as one"?
Hmm...that's hard...
I'll be late!!
Good catch!
There is?
It went badly.
Here it is.
Ah thank you.
"How to Improve in Doubles"?
Do you play tennis?
Oh yes. I'm in the tennis club.
Eh? And even?
To tell you the truth, I-
Oh! This is bad! Is it that late already?!
I'm in charge of the class today!
Well, until the next opportunity!
Next? Opportunity?
I know you're in the middle of training, but please come together.
Today, I'm going to introduce a new member to you.
This is Kikumaru Eiji-kun.
Kikumaru Eiji. 12 years.
Born November 28. Sagittarius. Blood type: A.
Favorite subject, Japanese history I think.
And besides... hm... I live with my grandfather, grandmother, father, mother, two older brothers, two older sisters, and...
Okay, okay... That was a pretty long self-introduction, wasn't it?
How about letting us hear the rest of the story a little at a time, all right?
He is...
Oh! You're the double guy...
Ya-hoo! How long!
How long?
This space is available, so you can use it.
Hm... and another thing...
It's jam-packed with Championship trophies! Incredible!
Oh, those?
Those are all old.
The current ones are in front of the director's office.
Oh! This racket is so cool!
Oh! This is from a senpai, you shouldn't be playing without permission!
It went badly. Very bad!
Speaking of which... why did you join the tennis club, Kikumaru-kun?
Eh? I?
Well I...
...I want to dress soon!
The uniform of the regulars!
A-Ah... but, I think becoming a regular is a lot harder...
What are you saying?!
If you want, you can be the best in Seigaku, no...
...the best in Japan, no... the best in the world!
Oh, really! Speaking of which, I haven't heard your name yet.
I'm Oishi Shuichirou.
I got it. Oishi, isn't it?
Nice to meet you, Oishi!
Ah... Yes... Likewise.
Kikumaru-kun seems like a nice person, but...
Is coming!
I have to accompany her now!
What are you doing, Oishi?!
You are disturbing me!
I... I'm sorry.
Watch my movements carefully!
Y-Yes...
Incredible...
I have never seen this type of ball collection!
This is easy-easy!
I can get many more!
Hey?! Isn't that Oishi training over there?
He's a first year, so why isn't he catching balls?
Rumor has it he won Captain Yamato's favor...
and was allowed to join the strong doubles members.
Even though it's not a big deal, he thinks of himself.
And even! He's using underhanded means.
But, well... I don't care about doubles!
Real men play simple!
That's just like you, Eiji!
To the right again!
What are you doing?! You are disturbing me!
Hey! That ball was yours!
I'm sorry but...
There is? Do you have any kind of complaint to make to me?
No, I didn't... I meant that...
Anyway, we're not in sync, are we?
We're done for today.
Kodama-senpai!
Basically, his playstyle is too simple and doesn't sit well with me.
Anyway, if I had to pair up with a first year, I'd prefer that rookie.
Somehow I'm not doing well...
Oishi!
Kikumaru-kun?
I have something to talk to you about.
To talk with me?
That! Perfect score!
What do you want to say to me?
I heard the rumor about you.
It seems like a lot of things are being said about you.
What do you mean?
I'm not interested in doubles, but...
...if you did "anything" to be chosen as a member, wouldn't it be fair to be tougher on you?
Sorry, but I have to go somewhere now.
There is?
How about we talk about it later?
It's acting like that that makes you unable to keep up with senpai, isn't it?
I saw your workout earlier!
When there's something you want to say, I think you should just say it!
P-For you to say that to me...
What?!
Whatever. It doesn't matter.
Damn it!
What was that?!
Anyway, if I had to pair up with a first year, I'd prefer that rookie.
When there's something you want to say, I think you should just say it!
What do you know about me?!
How many people...
Eiji!
Great News! Great News!
There is?
The members of the next training match
will be chosen from the first year too!
There is?!
Does that mean... I can be chosen?
I would look so cool!
A practice match with another school?
I would like to try, but...
...the "me" of now is just a burden to everyone.
What was that?
Gather, people.
I will now announce the members.
Third years: Sugiyama, Kawai, Ootaki.
Second years: Kodama, Saitou.
And first years: Tezuka and Oishi.
And now, everyone, start your training again.
Damn, Oishi again?!
Even though Eiji is much better than him...
I was discarded.
Why, Captain Yamato?!
Why was I chosen?!
Hmm? What do you mean by that?
Well... I'm still not able to play in a real match, and...
...and besides, I'm not doing very well in doubles...
And even?
But I chose you because I have confidence in you.
Or are you the one who doesn't want to participate in a match?
No! That's not what I meant...
But...
Looks like you forgot some very important things.
Very important things?
Even though you were chosen... What a strange guy!
Kikumaru-kun!
It's because you act like that that strange rumors come about you, isn't it?
Rumors?
What rumours?
I didn't do anything wrong!
You should be more calm and relaxed!
They're just couples, after all...
Just?
What do you mean by "only"?
You don't know anything about doubles!
How interesting.
If you think so, how about we settle the scores in a game?
What are you doing?!
Hang on.
There is?
It's exactly what I want.
Let's wait and see how things unfold.
Match of a set. Kikumaru's service.
Go for it, Eiji!
Finish Oishi!
Oishi, you will be defeated by Kikumaru-sama's acrobatics!
Stunts?
Hah! What a shame of you!
15-0.
What do you think, Oishi?!
Here!
These are Kikumaru-sama's stunts!
Game for Kikumaru.
That!
That's it, Eiji!
How does he manage to swing like that while jumping all the time?
I cannot predict the direction of the ball at all.
What's the matter, Oishi?!
I'll send another!
But...
...I'm sure there's an opening to be found.
You won't be able to catch up with my stunts with this kind of thing!
I'll win the first one!
Outside?!
Have my stunts been... returned?
B-But if it's not inside the court, it doesn't count, does it?
There's no way Kikumaru-sama's acrobatics can be beaten!
It can't be true...
F-It was just luck! Just lucky!
This time for sure!
Is he already on the net?
W-What?
This feeling...
Damn it!
This feeling...
This is the feeling!
Game for Oishi. 6-4.
It's Moon Volley!
I-Amazing! I didn't know Oishi played so well!
It can not be! What was this?
And wait! Time! This one didn't count! Did not tell!
It's a workout! A Workout!
Something I had forgotten.
Trust in myself and have a fighting spirit. And also...
My love for tennis.
Damn it!
How could I lose to such a simple face?
What?! What is happening?!
He's hitting the ball in such a small space.
There is? Kikumaru-kun?!
What are you doing here?
Lend me some!
This is very difficult, isn't it?!
Kikumaru-kun, your style of play is incredible.
What are you talking about?!
You who are amazing, Oishi!
You've been doing special training here every day after club activities, haven't you?
Yes it is true.
No wonder you're so strong!
Oishi, you are an amazing person!
No, I'm not.
My mind has been focused on other things lately.
But thanks to the game and you, Kikumaru-kun... I feel better already.
Thanks.
No... I... Even though I don't know you well, Oishi, I said a lot of things.
I am really sorry.
I got angry when I shouldn't have. I am really sorry.
Hey... Oishi?
There is?
Would you like to pair up with me?
D-Double?
With you, Kikumaru-kun?
But doubles...
I knew. I'm not good enough for you, am I?
No, let's do it!
Let's do it, Kikumaru-kun! A duo!
Yay!
Kikumaru-kun!
Call me Eiji.
That's how we started playing doubles.
Yes. As we said, "If we want, we can be the best in Seigaku, no...
No, number one in Japan... No, in the world!
Yes...
Since then, whenever we lose, we come back here to reflect.
A lot of things happened, didn't they?
Yes.
Eiji. We no longer need this container.
What do you mean by "we don't need"?!
Oishi! Are you saying you're tired of being my doubles partner?
No, that's not it.
As the Golden Double, we didn't lose.
So... we don't need it anymore.
AND. We won't lose anymore!
Oishi-senpai! Kikumaru-senpai!
So you were here?
If you don't hurry, we'll be late for club activities.
And truth!
This is bad! Is it so late already?!
Hey! Wait! Wait!
Let's run to school, Oishi!
Yes!
