Ep. 5: Chihaya dan Taichi mengunjungi Arata di Fukui, di mana ia menolak mereka sebelum Yuu mengembalikan kartu karuta yang berserakan.
Chihaya and Taichi travel to Fukui to see Arata. Once at his house, Arata tells them to leave. Chihaya takes out a deck of cards and tries to get him to play karuta, but Arata kicks the deck, scattering the cards. Taichi drags Chihaya away to leave. Yuu, the girl who lives next door to Arata, runs after them with the cards and tells them to take the cards away. She tells them that on a day when Arata was supposed to have been nursing his grandfather, who had had multiple strokes previously, his grandfather had another stroke and died while Arata was at a tournament making Class A. Arata realizes he still wants to be Chihaya's friend and runs after her and Taichi, who see him as their train pulls away. Taichi tells Chihaya that he will help her to form a club and to wait for Arata's return to karuta. (Source: Wikipedia)
