Attack Number One (アタックNo.1[ナンバーワン])

苦しくたって

悲しくたって

コートのなかでは平気なの

ボールがうなると胸がはずむわ

レシーブ トス スパイク

ワン・ツー ワン・ツー アタック

だけど涙がでちゃう

女の子だもん

涙も汗も若いファイトで

青空に遠く叫びたい

アタック アタック ナンバーワン

アタック アタック ナンバーワン

Kurushikutatte

Kooto no naka dewa heiki nano

Booru ga unaru to mune ga hazumu wa

Reshiibu tosu supaiku

Wan tsu wan tsu atakku

Dakedo namida ga dechau

Onna no ko damon

Namida mo ase mo wakai faito de

Aozora ni tooku sakebitai

Atakku atakku nanbaa wan

Atakku atakku nanbaa wan

Even though it hurts…

…even though I feel sad…

…in the court I feel just fine.

When I hear the ball flying, my heart races.

Receive. Toss. Spike.

One-two, one-two! Attack!

But sometimes I cry.

I'm a girl, after all.

Through the tears and sweat, putting up a youthful fight…

…under the blue sky, I just want to scream:

Attack! Attack! Number 1!

Attack! Attack! Number 1!

—Episode 001— Fujimi Academy's new star

Fujimi Academy

Math

I can't believe you can't solve such a simple problem.

You think you're such big shots for being here at Fujimi Academy.

Nakazawa-kun!

S-sir.

I don't know.

I haven't even asked you a question yet.

What year are you?

Huh… we're second year students.

Second year students, hmm?

And you still don't understand this problem?

I've mistaken you for juniors for a moment, but you really are second year students.

Really strange.

Have you been listening to my class until now? Or maybe you've been sleeping all this time?

Like Ayuhara here.

Math

Ayuhara-kun. Ayuhara-kun!

Ayuhara-san, get it together.

What is it, Ikezaki-san?

Professor…

Sir.

The answer is square root of 3.

Did I get it right?

That's correct.

Yay.

She solved it in her sleep, I wonder?

She must have read the example.

She's pretty bold in front of His Majesty.

Nobody asked for your opinion.

Even though you've just transferred, I won't allow such attitude. How dare you act like this?

What did I do wrong?

If my class is so boring, go to the nurse office and sleep there.

Yes sir.

Ayuhara!

Oh?

You poor things.

Well then, I'm going to the nurse office.

She surprised me.

She has some nerve acting like this.

You want to be friends with me? Is this why you followed me here?

Mr. Wind, take them to a peaceful place.

Be safe.

Receive!

Got it.

– Shoot! – Here goes!

What are you doing, falling like that?

Are you all right?

Come on!

Get it together!

Here goes next serve.

Here!

You need to jump higher. One more time!

– Roger. – Let's give it our best.

All right, one more time!

Let's finish this.

Here I go.

Here!

Watch out!

Hold on.

You're Ayuhara-san?

Yes.

Captain Katsuragi-san, I presume?

You come to see us practice ever since transferring here, right?

Do you like volleyball?

Yep.

Why don't you join our club?

I think I'll pass.

Why?

You are interested, no?

Yes. But I also hate losing.

Excuse me.

Hate losing…?

Captain…

Is she making fun of us? Did she just call us losers?

Knock it off.

N-Nakazawa-san.

Hehehe.

Is that a compact you're holding?

Did you put on makeup?

Never mind that, come with me.

She's here.

Let's welcome our heroine.

My. Why are you all here?

– We were waiting for you. – Kozue-san.

Ayuhara-san, this way.

Make yourself comfortable. Take a seat.

Come on.

Err…

Do you need anything from me?

You did well, Ayuhara-san.

What did I do?

The way you stuck it to His Majesty was splendid.

This. Debu and I couldn't believe our ears.

You're so brave, Ayuhara-san.

And with that, you've become the heroine of our useless student group.

Useless students?

Basically we're the kind of students who don't fit in at the prestigious Fujimi Academy.

What do you say, Ayuhara-san? Wanna join us?

We want to be friends. We could achieve something together.

Right, Ike-chan?

Hey, Ike.

Eh?

Yeah. We could use your help, Ayuhara-san.

It's decided. We're friends now.

I'm flattered, but…

Hmm… What kind of friends?

– No big deal. – We'll only play around.

What do we exactly do?

For example…

…this.

Let's go!

Aw yeah!

Good, good.

Don't just sit there. Dance with us.

Yeah, yeah!

Just like this. Hurry up.

Dance!

Like this?

Whoa, you've got some nice moves.

Don't hang out with the others, though.

Got it?

Yeah. The rest of the class are only goody-goodies after all.

If we learned you told someone what we are doing here, we'll show you.

Yeah.

Show me, show me… show me what?

Eh?

Kakko!

What is it?

It's the vice president.

– This is bad. Party's over. – Let's run!

Ayuhara-kun, right?

You know me?

Well, you're pretty famous.

And you are…?

I'm Ichinose.

Kashiwagi-kun was here just a moment ago, wasn't she?

Oh, is that so?

What were they doing?

You tell me.

Please don't play dumb.

I could hear the music.

And other things too…

– Are you feeling well, Ichinose-san? – Don't be rude.

Don't hang out with these girls.

That's none of your business.

They treat me way better than you do, mister detective.

What are you saying?

You serve as student council vice president, right?

Let me make myself clear: I hate Fujimi Academy.

Some school I've transferred into.

Ayuhara-kun!

Same goes to Fujimi Academy. You trouble us with your behavior.

– Ken! – Ken!

– How do you know Ken? – How do you know Ken?

So that's how it is.

Tsutomu-san is my nephew. Kozue is my niece, on my husband's side.

Understood?

– What? This means— – We're actually related.

What a pretty shell.

You can find shells like that anywhere.

I can't hear anything.

What did you expect to hear?
