01x09 - Stubbornness and Pride

[bunniefuu]

What?

One more hour?

We're in the middle of the tryouts

on the level B course now.

Oh, dear.

It's fine. Don't be disappointed.

We're the ones who came early.

Hey, by the way,

are you Kiria Nishino, the female pro?

Oh, yes.

I knew it! I'm a fan of yours!

You're making me blush.

Would you like my autograph?

Well, my sister certainly

appreciates recognition.

Don't you agree, Mr. Lancelot?

Mis

Mr. Lancelot!

I'm sorry, Kurumi.

Level B, right?

RISING IMPAC

EPISODE 9: STUBBORNNESS AND PRIDE

All right! Let's get pumped up

and start the third hole!

You're so noisy.

Don't get excited

just because you're doing well.

Oh, relax.

Besides,

you're from a wealthy family, right?

You can take a trip to the UK anytime.

It's none of your business.

Come on! No need to get so angry.

Yumiko, you have the honor.

Hurry up and hit it!

Got it!

THE THIRD HOLE

"HANGER"

Piece of cake!

I've only made birdies and pars

on this hole.

The cup is behind the pond.

It's safer to put it

on the back of the green,

but there's a bunker behind it.

I'll finish first again

and ensure I pass the tryouts.

Today Yumi-pu is flawless!

Wait, what?

Did you notice it too?

What a dummy! She didn't see it, did she?

All right. Go to the

A rake?

My ball didn't roll back.

You got so carried away, you didn't

even see what was in plain sight.

Who would think

there'd be a rake right there?

I would have nailed it

if not for that rake, you tiny doll!

What did you say?

Hershey is right.

It doesn't matter how good you are

if you don't pay attention

to what you're doing.

They're playing it quite safe.

Hershey put it before the pond,

and Kuromine just put it

at the green's edge.

I'll make up for the first two holes.

I have to pass the tryouts.

I have a chance for a birdie!

YUMIKO - PLATALISSA - KUROMINE - HERSHEY

Just as I thought, it's in the bunker.

Who left the rake here?!

I'm so sorry.

It was you, Squishy Joe!

Hershey, it's time to get serious.

Oh, yes. That's the plan.

You're an eyesore. Move, now!

I got it!

I chipped it in!

Seriously? She got it right in?

If Hershey's approach is within 30 yards,

she can chip in with a 70% chance.

Seventy percent?

How about that, Platalissa?

Did that surprise you a little?

But Kuromine is even scarier.

No, I should say more incredible.

No matter how badly you want it,

we're the ones going to the UK.

What the heck, Kuromine?

What will she show us?

It's two strokes to the cup from there.

No, actually, it's three strokes.

I thought I'd see five,

but there are only three.

That's fewer than I expected.

I'm ready.

The second snake looks the most honest.

Now do you get it?

If Kuromine is on the green,

she has an 80% chance to putt in.

Hey, it's your turn.

The next hole is the last one.

You're hanging on more than I thought.

Of course!

But the three-tier green

in the fifth hole was crazy.

It was five-tiered.

You couldn't even remember the layout,

so you five-putted it.

Come on, Todoin, you three-putted there!

It was good enough for the green.

Only Kuromine could sink it

in less than two putts there.

Kuromine?

Is she the lady who looks like a ghost?

In putting, she's probably

the best junior in this country.

Well, I don't know about that.

I think Lancelot is probably

the best at putting.

Someone is here.

Lancelot!

It's been a while, Gawain.

Why are you here?

I wanted to surprise you.

Have you improved a bit for me?

Yeah.

So he is the Lancelot.

Snort, snort, big snort!

I don't care about the bunker.

I can't believe they both made a birdie.

If I lose here,

the lead I've made will be wasted.

If I chip in from one shot,

I'll make a birdie too.

I'm gonna put it in for sure!

You stink!

She missed big-time!

Seems like she cracked under pressure.

She's just an elementary kid, after all.

She literally whiffed!

She whiffed!

I see!

It's visiting day,

so you came with Miss Kiria.

Wow! I wanna see her now!

Are you still in the middle of tryouts?

Yeah! I'm gonna make one more effort.

I have to impress you!

By the way, why are you

in such an ugly outfit?

Oh, my clothes got muddy earlier.

Todoin gave me this

So you are Lancelot.

Go home.

Outsiders aren't allowed to enter here.

Come on, don't say that.

It shouldn't be a problem.

Besides, this guy is a great golfer

who wins all the tournaments he attends

Don't get c*ck.

I've also won every domestic

junior tournament for a year.

For one thing,

you've barely competed in tournaments

since starting junior high.

Are you scared of the Camelot golfers?

Hey! Lancelot isn't such a coward

Good for you.

You were able to keep winning

thanks to my absence.

You b*stard!

Stop it, Todoin!

Well then, I'll show you

the difference between kiddie golf

and junior top level!

THE 6TH HOLE

"DEVIL'S NEST"

Wow! This course is so straight.

It looks easy!

Does it?

I think it's a course

with precisely-placed hazards.

Aim properly,

or you'll end up with a big miss.

Oh, really?

He understood the course

with just a glance.

This is a 55-inch driver.

I was planning to save it

until the Camelot Cup,

but I've changed my mind.

Are you gonna swing that long driver?

Fifty-five inches.

I'll just have to show that guy

since he doesn't believe what I said.

What an incredible spirit!

I can't believe he was hiding that skill.

-It's 200 yards short of the green.

-What?

That means it flew 400 yards.

Four hundred? Unbelievable.

I never knew Todoin

was such an amazing player!

Even Liebel could hit 360.

I can't beat him with my 330-yard shot.

He's had a great score

without using his secret ability.

All right, this is the last hole.

Should I hit it

without caring about the direction?

Nah, that's no good!

I've got to focus on making par!

I can practice my drives

after this game is over!

All right, I shot par!

Wanglian.

He has great skill

with his controlled iron shots.

He also seems to be hiding something.

Todoin.

He has a very high skill set.

Even when things heat up,

he stays focused.

He's a good player.

But that shot earlier was

Lancelot! Did you see how I played?

Compared to me, your level is still low.

Lower than my feet.

What? At least you should say

"lower than my waist."

But you understand golf ten times better

than when I first met you.

Wanglian, Gawain, listen carefully.

I'm going to 100% pass the tryouts

with my score.

Wanglian will be 80%.

Gawain, you'll be 30% at most.

Hey! What did you say?

Guys, if you pass the tryouts,

until the Camelot Cup,

practice as if you're trying to outdo me!

Or we won't win a single game in the UK.

Did you get that?

That shot earlier.

It's your secret weapon, right?

That head speed will hurt your body.

You can't use it

more than two times in one round.

You noticed that at a glance.

A top player like you

either doesn't mind taking such risks

or you feel you need to

in order to beat them.

The Camelot Cup sounds interesting.

-Wow! It's been a while!

-Yeah.

-How's it going? I wanted to see you.

-Yeah?

You came to see me, not her!

Who is he?

He doesn't look like just an outsider.

Liebel and Riser came back too.

Gosh. I might have failed again.

You don't know that yet.

Hey, you guys!

Gawain.

What's with the clothes?

I borrowed these from Todoin

I'm doomed!

Uncle Arai, why did you do that?

The clubs could break!

No, they're already broken.

His clubs broke one by one

during the game.

Seriously? How come?

Among the girls,

Hershey's clubs were also broken,

so she got a horrible score.

What? Really?

That happened to Arai too.

It's a bit weird.

Damn! Damn it!

Hey, Gawain, how was your game?

Well, I've done everything I could.

So, what will be, will be.

Hey, Liebel, what's your score?

Damn! He scored

a ridiculous six under par.

Seriously?

He scored better than my five under par?

And also, you know what?

Interesting.

There is someone better than Todoin.

Hey? Are you listening to me?

Sorry, I wasn't.

Why?

Gawain, who is the lady next to Yumiko?

Wow, she's beautiful.

What are you talking about, guys?

He's a guy.

Hey, guys!

Todoin and Wanglian already met him.

Now I'm gonna introduce my friend to you.

He is a junior golfer just like us.

Lancelot Norman.

Lancelot Norman.

Known as the greatest

elementary school player.

Really?

His putting is super amazing!

I've never seen him miss a putt.

What is such a junior golfer doing here?

I'm here to see my friend.

That is half the reason.

Did you say "half"?

The other half is

that I wanted to see the caliber

of Camelot Academy with my own eyes.

I see.

So how was it from your perspective?

If you and the guy over there

are the top of this school,

the level is higher than I thought.

It was worth coming a little.

Whoosh!

"A little"? You said one word too many.

I just told you the truth.

You're amusing!

You're stubborn and prideful to no end.

That guy, who does he think he is?

Hey, Lancelot. Are you gonna turn

all the students here against you?

He has a lot of confidence.

You seem pretty confident.

I'm tired of hearing the rumors about you.

I'm just as good at putting.

Can your eyes also see

the lines leading toward the cup?

Yeah.

Okay, it looks like you're all here.

So gather in the meeting room.

Fine, let's go.

Okay. Wish me luck.

See you.

I will now announce the results

of the tryouts.

Pay attention. I'll say it just once.

First, Liebel. Six under par.

Yes.

Second, Todoin. Five under par.

Third, Kuromine. Three under par.

Fourth, Koizumi. One under par.

Yes! I go to the UK!

Fifth, Wanglian. Even par.

Sixth, Platalissa. Two over par.

Great.

Seventh

Call me.

Gawain. Four over par.

Also tied for 7th, Riser. Four over par.

Wow.

Also tied for 7th, Kanazono.

Four over par.

Those who I mentioned will represent Japan

at this year's Camelot Cup.

Lastly, the three players

tied for 7th place

will compete in a playoff tomorrow

to determine the final member.

A playoff

Hershey

Arai How did this happen?

The answer is simple.

Actually, I am the one

who put cracks in their clubs.

They deserved it!

I wonder how Gawain and the others did?

Do you have a minute?

Is this a practice green?

What are you going to do?

Compete against me.

One genius is enough for this world.

I will beat you here and now

with what's called true talent.

I see.

The game is simple.

Each of us putts ten ba*ls,

and whoever puts more ba*ls in will win.

But this practice green

is quite difficult.

Let me play first.

For me,

the more challenging the greens are,

the more number of lines

to the cup I can see.

Mr. Lancelot!

Oh no!

She is so noisy. What's wrong with her?

Lancelot disappeared

while we were waiting.

She's been crying ever since.

Hey, stop crying.

Lancelot will be back soon.

He's probably just

strolling along the course.

-Really, Mr. Brother-in-law?

-Yeah.

I putted six ba*ls in.

It looks like the third snake was right.

It's your turn.

Dad! You're messing up my hair!

Our dad and mom are busy, so

-Wow.

-It's from your grandmother.

She said it's golf attire inside.

Thank you very much.

Liebel, you did a great job today.

Ms. Aria

I'm glad Miss Kiria and Kurumi

look very well.

I'm glad too.

You've passed the tryouts

in seventh place.

I can't be happy yet.

There are three candidates for that spot.

But I must get through the playoffs

to go to the main tournament.

You're so tough.

You overcome anything on your own

with such a tiny body.

What?

I said, "You can come to my place,"

but I really couldn't teach you anything.

I regret that.

I'm sorry I've been so useless to you.

That's not true!

If I hadn't met you, I wouldn't be here.

On top of that, you taught me

the most important thing about golf.

You taught me how great and fun golf is.

Gawain.

I thought my family

was just my grandpa and me,

but now I think of you and Kurumi

as my family.

Is that okay?

Yes.

Gawain, you have a call.

What? From whom?

Who do you think it is?

What? Do you know?

Hello!

Why are you in such a hurry?

Grandpa.

Hey, I'm using a phone

at the town hall right now.

It's totally free.

Gawain, you are doing well, right?

Yeah.

Good. That's great.

Listen to everyone's advice

and do your best.

Hey? What's wrong?

I'm relieved to hear your voice.

I'm glad you're doing well too.

You silly goose. Don't cry like that.

Don't cry until I die!

No! Don't say that you'll die!

Now I'm done putting in all ten ba*ls.

How?

I can see more lines than you.

The more difficult the green,

the more lines you see,

and the greater the doubt.

No matter the green,

I see only one line of light

and have absolutely no doubt.

That's how.

Mr. Lancelot.

Gawain, do your best

in the playoffs tomorrow!

Yeah!

See you, Lancelot!

See you at a tournament

somewhere next time.

Yup!

Bye!

Okay,

how am I gonna beat down the squishy boy

and the macho guy tomorrow?
