Yuki Kouno.

Will you take vows of poverty, chastity, and loyalty in the name of God...

and serve as a person of God at this place for the rest of your life?

I do.

Our father in heaven, we pray for our volunteer to be reborn with holy water...

and for you to take her under your care and blessings.

Amen.

Now, turn this way.

Oh, my, you look wonderful.

Today you became a bride to our son of God.

From now on, we won't be calling you Yuki.

We'll be calling you by your Christian name, Sister Maria.

I understand.

When you said you wanted to join this monastery after graduating school...

I was very nervous, to be honest.

But I'm not worried any more.

You are so pure and beautiful, as if you were born that way.

Mother.

Mother, are you all right?

-The abbess hasn't been feeling well— -I'm fine.

-You shouldn't speak any more. -Don't worry. I'll be fine after some rest.

Sister Maria?

Yes.

Everyone. Sister Maria will be joining us starting today.

Please take good care of her.

Nice to meet you all.

-Good morning. -Hello.

-Good morning. -Hello.

Hello.

Hey, whenever I see that priest, I can't help realizing I'm a woman after all.

So true.

How are you feeling?

Oh, please stay in bed.

I heard you weren't feeling well, and I'm truly worried about you.

I heard from Sister Isabel, so I decided to stop by.

Thank you so much.

He was so concerned that he made a hospital arrangement for you.

I would like you to rest well and get better.

I thank my Lord for His kindness.

I'll see you later.

Thank you so much.

Mr. Mitamura from Joshin Cram School asked for that thing again.

When can I expect it?

We just received the exam from the professors at St. Michael's School.

We are still printing them right now.

I would like a copy as soon as I can.

I understand.

But please keep your promise about my reward.

Our Father in heaven, I need your help.

Our abbess is getting weaker.

Please heal her illness as soon as possible.

Amen.

Can you follow the rules at this monastery from now on?

Huh?

Sure.

Say, "Yes"!

Yes.

Your aunt has given us a great amount of donations.

But we won't go easy on you.

Breaking the rules is not allowed.

Do you understand?

Well, then. Let's go.

So let us put aside the deeds of darkness and put on the armor of light.

Let us behave decently, as in the daytime, not in carousing and drunkenness...

not in sexual immorality and debauchery, not in dissension and jealousy.

Rather, clothe yourselves with the Lord Jesus Christ...

and do not think about how to gratify the desires of the flesh.

Our Abbess was admitted to a hospital today.

From now on, I will act as her substitute.

This is Sister Sara who will be joining us from today.

Please watch out for her.

Bless us, Lord, and these thy gifts which we are about to receive from your bounty.

In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.

How can you eat this?

It's worse than juvie.

What's juvie?

Juvenile reformatory.

Are you having morning sickness?

Please forgive me!

You betrayed God.

Whose child are you carrying?

Confess your sins.

I can't.

Please forgive me!

You must cleanse your impure body with the salt water!

Huh? Where is everyone? Do you know?

I don't know.

This is a bit strange.

Please stop!

Please stop!

With the power of this burdock, we'll abort your impure child!

I'm begging you! Please stop!

Come on, snap out of it!

Do you know how much I love you?

I'll go crazy if I weren't with you.

Today we aborted Sister Theresa's child.

Did Sister Theresa tell you who the father is?

No.

Why does she want to keep it a secret?

Theresa is... Mitamura's...

mistress' child.

There must be a reason.

I don't care about that.

Please love me more!

ST. MICHAEL'S COLLEGE: SCHOOL OF MEDICINE ENTRANCE EXAM

Now I can help your struggling students again.

Thanks to you, my cram school's success rate has increased.

Now we are known as one of the best.

That's good to hear.

SAKAE MITAMURA

Please take this.

Thank you for your tremendous donation.

By the way, I'm so sorry to cause you such trouble regarding Kayo.

No, no. About that... They took care of it inside the monastery.

-Thank you so much. -No, no.

She's such an unfortunate child.

Please watch out for her.

She was already four months in.

They said that she never mentioned who the father was.

I'm sure God will forgive her sins.

Forgive us our sins as we forgive those who sin against us.

What were you praying for?

Don't tell me, I know.

"I want to be with a man. Please give me a man."

Am I right?

-I'm right because you are quiet. -Please stop.

How can you be so shameless, Mari?

We are all the same, even that Kayo girl...

or those two. Or even you!

Nobody can control their desire.

Those two were having a great time together.

There is no point in praying.

You can only rely on yourself.

Our Father in heaven, please forgive sinful Sister Sara.

What are you doing in here?

Hey, a rabbit!

She's so cute!

Catch her!

Hey, let me hold her!

Can I hold her, too?

Hey, let me hold her, too.

Look! Balloons!

Is there a festival or something?

Oh, no! She's running away!

Sister Maria? The Acting Abbess would like to see you.

Yes.

Here.

Our abbess isn't doing well for the last few days and she really wants to see you.

I was wondering if you can go see her.

I would like to go, too, but I'm too busy to leave the monastery.

I'm praying for her here, too.

Yes.

-Hey! -Yo!

Let's go!

I can't stand it! Wearing crap like this!

-It's just like a prison! -How can you put up with that?

I didn't have a choice. That old bitch forced me to be there.

-I'll get out of there soon, though. -I feel so bad for you.

But it's actually crazy in there, too. There is a lesbian couple.

Really? That's interesting!

Shall we?

Rock, paper, scissors!

It was a draw, one more time!

-Hey, what is it? -What's going on?!

Hey, count me in, too!

Rock, paper, scissors!

What are you doing?

We are deciding who's going to sleep with you first!

Rock, paper, scissors! It's a draw! One more time!

-I'll be back soon. -Sure.

Are you done yet?

Not done yet?

What? Finished already?

Yup, I'm finished.

-That's pathetic! -Sorry.

-All right, all right! -Are you ready?

What do you think?

Let's do this!

That's good.

That looks cool! Awesome!

That's Maria. Where is she going?

You know her?

She's like the most innocent girl at our monastery.

-She's definitely a virgin. -What?!

Sounds so yummy!

What? You said you couldn't get it up any more.

-Well... -Yup, you are like, "I'm done."

You idiot!

ST. MICHAEL'S COLLEGE HOSPITAL

Mother.

Thank you.

It's so beautiful.

Have a seat.

Yes.

There is something I wanted to tell you.

It was 20 years ago.

It was a cold snowy night.

A new born baby was crying in front of the monastery.

She was a very cute girl.

I picked her up and raised her.

It was a life God gave to this Earth.

I took her in as a gift from God...

I named her Yuki.

Mother...

I can't do anything any more.

But God is watching everything.

You are a child of God.

Help me!

Someone! Help me!

No!

Help me!

No! Please stop!

No! Please God! Help me!

No!

No!

Please! No!

No!

You don't need to worry.

Why did you try to kill yourself?

Oh, my, Sister Maria!

What happened? We were worried because you were so late!

But, more than anything, look at yourself!

What happened? Tell us.

I fell...

I fell off of the cliff.

Oh, my!

Sister Maria. Can you swear to God that you are not lying?

Please forgive me!

Wait a second.

Sister Sara, we know you snuck out of here without permission.

You are wrong. I was here all day. I fell asleep in the barn.

Be quiet!

You were committing sins with a bunch of men!

Then, what are these?!

You should go to the reflection room.

Then, what about her?

Everyone, take her to the reflection room.

Let's go.

-Come on. -Hey, what are you doing? Let me go!

No!

Move!

I'm sure if she spends time in there, her twisted mind may get straightened.

Sister Maria, I will hear from you later.

Until you feel like telling the truth, you should be alone and pray.

You were violated by force... I understand.

Come on. Go clean yourself up.

Let me go!

What did I do wrong?

Damn it!

How dare you!

Ow!

What are you... going to do to me?!

This is just like a prison!

Why am I the only one...

Sister Sara.

Confess your sins in front of us all, and beg for forgiveness.

Don't make me laugh!

This is nothing!

Just let me out of here!

I'd rather die than be stuck in this stinky monastery!

I see. You want to get out of here that badly?

Get out of here, then.

You betrayed God's way.

You are not allowed to be here!

So much for "God." This is just like a prison!

I'm going to tell everyone!

Damn it.

Who do you think you are!

Our Father in heaven, with your compassion, please cleanse my impurity.

Please judge me.

By getting rid of the shame of your loved one...

Priest!

If the one wouldn't correct himself, God will sharpen the sword...

raise the bow, with other deadly weapons, then release the arrow.

I overheard your prayer.

You shall confess your sins to me.

You shall throw yourself in front of God and ask for his help right now.

Now is the time to give everything to God.

I had physical relations with men.

You experienced men for the first time?

Yes.

How shameful.

Was it your wish?

No. No, it wasn't.

Were you forced by men to open up your body?

Yes.

I will wash off your impure body with my body.

Priest!

Please stop!

Silence.

Dear God!

Please... Please... stop.

How long are you going to play around?

Wander around in that outfit... Do you want to be laughed at?

College has started already.

Do you have any idea how much I worry about you?

Don't you understand how I feel?!

Kayo has gone to a world we can't reach any more.

Stop hanging around her for once!

I know how you feel about your sister.

I feel the same way, too.

But your sister volunteered to join the monastery.

Dedicating her whole life for God is also one's way of life.

Kayo wished for that.

That's a lie!

What are you talking about?

I know she was born outside the family.

But I treated her just like I treated you.

I did everything I can.

But she wanted God more than us.

Let's leave her alone, all right?

Hiroshi.

The truth is... You are the one who sent her to the monastery.

Hiroshi!

Sister Maria.

I knew it.

You need to get out of here.

Sister Isabel won't forgive anyone who had relations with men.

You will be trapped in this monastery for the rest of your life!

No time to waste.

Sister Isabel will be here soon.

And she will begin the punishment way worse than going to hell.

Here is the key.

And I want you to hand this letter to my younger brother.

You can hear the sound of trumpets sometimes, right?

That's my brother playing it for me.

That man is your younger brother?

Please! Please hand that letter to my brother!

Why won't you try to see him?

Don't worry about me.

Please! You should hurry!

Sister Isabel, we can't find her.

We looked for her all over the place.

I see.

-We'll search the area in the morning. -Yes.

We can't let anyone know about what's going on in here!

You are...

This is from your sister.

Dear Hiroshi, I knew you came to see me many times...

from the sound of you playing the trumpet.

But I have no right to see you.

Please forgive me, Hiroshi.

{ committed a terrible sin.

You might have already known, but I carried your father's child.

Despite the fact we were blood relatives, I was forced to act in a despicable way.

But it wasn't forgivable no matter how much I regretted it.

Please forget about me.

This monastery is a terrifying place.

All the devils are gathering in here.

My unborn child was killed by them.

! have no will to live any more.

-Take me to my sister. -Yes.

Why did you let Sister Maria go?

I don't know. I don't know anything.

Please forgive me.

Where is Sister Maria?

You are so stubborn.

Where is Sister Maria?!

We can't let anyone know about this.

So tell us!

Hey!

Put her down.

Sister!

Who are you?!

Sister!

Why?! Why did this happen?!

Because she broke the commandments.

That's a lie!

You were afraid of people finding out about your wrongdoing.

But it's too late.

I know all about it now.

You are such miserable people.

Once you are in here, we won't let you out.

I'm sure you already know what that means.

Priest!

Priest! Priest!

Please don't die!

Yuki.

I... I had no other choice.

I love you!

I love you!

Priest, I love you!

What are you doing?!

Capture them!

Capture them!

Capture them now!

Yuki! Come with me.

Capture them! Capture them now!

Don't go!

You are going to kill yourself, aren't you?

I'm... scared.

What's this all about? Calling me to here.

My sister has died.

What?! Kayo has?!

You killed my sister.

Impossible!

What are you going to do with that?!

It's all my fault! Kayo was...

Are we...

Don't let me go.
