Summer!

The beach!

A little monk.

Damn it! Work, work, work! What on earth is going on?

Stop slacking off and clean the temple.

That's what Lady Jyotoku told us to do.

Maybe she's just using us.

This is part of our training too. So, stop complaining.

You're too serious.

What did you say?

Nothing at all!

Man, my youthful years are being wasted!

Give me back my 16th summer!

Jeez!

It's overflowing, this feeling Afurete yuku no wa kono kimochi

Ah My Buddha!!!

Down at the beach, feelin' so good Namiuchigiwa de feelin' so good

l invite you over and make a surreal pose Kimi wo sasotte shuuru na poozu

Hey, gently take my hand Hora sotto te wo tsunaide

You're the kind of guy who's cool... Kimi wa nanimo iwazu ni

...without saying a word Kuuru na ko

Like a cinemascope that's a little warped... Chotto magatta shinemasukoopu

...during the prologue of the story Monogatari no puroroogu ni

Call out my name with a sweet voice, Namae wo yonde amaeta koe de

And laugh like you always do Itsumono you ni waratte

Go!! lke!!

It's overflowing, this feeling Afurete yuku no wa kono kimochi

Words can't begin to express it Kotoba ja tenioenakute

I gently touch your back Sotto senaka e

I think now is "the right time" Ima "sonotoki" datte sou omou

It's balanced like the swing of a pendulum Furiko saiku no baransu

And now I'm forgetting it, this feeling Wasureteyuku no mo kono kimochi

Ah, ah...

Ah, ah...

Ah, ah...

Don't Fool Around!!

Lecture by a monk from Saienji Temple

Lecture by a monk from Saienji Temple Well...

Lecture by a monk from Saienji Temple

Lecture by a monk from Saienji Temple Every being takes on...

Lecture by a monk from Saienji Temple ...different forms of existence.

...different forms of existence.

And those forms are...

Heaven, Human, Ashura, Beast, Hungry Ghost...

What was the other one?

Demon!

Yeah! That's it! Demon!

Unless we're spiritually awakened...

...we will be going through these six cycles of reincarnation for eternity.

And this living hell is the Tokyo desert or the cold, concrete jungle...

Huh? What was I saying?

Great...

Hey buddy, I have no clue what you're talking about.

I don't know either!

You have no clue?

There's way too many kanji for me to remember!

I can't understand what these young folks are saying these days.

So, young fella...

Is there really a world of spirits?

Huh?

You don't know that until you die.

Well, you see...

...the secret to long life is to do your best and enjoy life as much as you can.

Then, you will be spiritually awakened...

That's what he meant.

Then, we can keep having fun?

Yes.

You should all smile and have fun. Live carefree and be happy.

You always get mad when I'm having fun.

Chitose is much nicer and better...

Chitose! I love you!

Would you like to marry me?

I have a very good technique.

You still need more training, young fella!

What did you say?

Oh...

But I like Ikkou.

You remind me of my late husband.

That's not funny!

I wouldn't mind having you if I were 50 years younger.

You're no different than she is!

I'm still active!

Come on now!

Show me how youthful you are! Come on!

We received so many goodies.

They're pretty heavy.

Let's just head on back.

What are you talking about? That was only our first stop.

We're not done yet?

This is your job as a monk at Saienji Temple.

She's not sexy.

Women these days...

Didn't they teach you not to lift up a girl's skirt in school?

What you're wearing is not even a skirt!

That's right! It's weird!

They're really enjoying the summer.

I want to have fun too.

I'm telling you. We have work to do.

What happened to the others?

Why is it just the two of us?

The others are busy with club activities.

Are you sure they're allowed to do those things?

Of course. They're just high school students.

I'm a high school student too!

Man, I wish I were in a club.

Then I wouldn't have had to do all this.

They're not in clubs to get away from all this.

Then, why are they?

It means they're enjoying their time of adolescence.

Adolescence?

So, our adolescence is spent going around lecturing people?

Saienji Temple is all about serving the community...

...with a smile, right?

Right about now, people must be saying...

"The beach! The mountain!"

And having romantic adventures.

Um...

I don't care about those things.

Right?

They don't suit you.

Come on! Let's go!

Have mercy!

Your cake is delicious, Sumi.

I'm glad to hear that.

It took me 27 tries before I finally got it right.

So this is Cake #28.

Hey! I'm starving! Give me something to eat!

Yuko.

What clubs did you help out today?

Let's see... Kendo, baseball, boxing, fighting game club, and...

Anyway, I helped out a lot.

Did you win?

Of course we did! Complete victory!

There's no way they'd lose with me there!

This cake tastes good.

Hinata made that.

Really? You did good.

Can I eat all of them?

Go ahead. Go ahead.

Thank you for the meal!

I'm glad you enjoyed it! I'm glad you enjoyed it!

I ate too much.

You think?

Just like always.

I have to work up an appetite in time for dinner!

You're still gonna eat?

Do you want to head to the arcade?

A new fighting game just came out!

We can't!

We left the temple work to Chitose and lkkou, remember?

This sucks!

What's this?

Machines these days can print photos this clear.

Well, it's also because we are good-looking.

I'm sorry. Yuko really wanted to stop by the arcade...

I only played one punching game!

I'm sorry for making you do all the work.

No, don't worry about it. I like cleaning the temple.

Well, if you ever want to go out, we'll fill in for you, okay?

Sure. Don't worry about me.

You're just wasting this youthful body of yours.

And you're abusing yours!

She's very popular among the boys.

Really?

Don't say things that are misleading!

Aren't you going to do any club activities, Chitose?

I don't really have any hobbies...

She's wasting her youthful body.

Stop talking about my body!

Let's make the best of our youth!

Yes, you can go ahead and do that.

Rock 'n' Roll!

Anyway, we'll help you out after we get dressed.

Take your time.

By the way, where's Ikkou?

He was taken away by the folks from the community.

I see. So, he's also popular.

I guess...

My husband strained his back all of a sudden,

but I'm glad I asked Chief Priest Jyotoku for help.

My husband caught a fever all of a sudden,

but I'm glad I asked Chief Priest Jyotoku for help.

I'm sorry. We just didn't have enough people helping us out.

I'm glad I asked Chief Priest Jyotoku for help.

No more! I'll die!

That old hag! Using me for everything!

Who's an old hag?

Welcome back, Grandmother.

You too, Lady Glasses.

Don't give me such a weird nickname!

I can't believe you're complaining after such a simple job.

It wasn't a simple job at all.

You must serve the community.

Saienji Temple has to help everyone out.

Then, why don't we all help out?

You expect weak women like us to do heavy labor?

Only at times like this, you pretend to be a woman?

I'm a woman!

You treat men really harshly!

We still think you're somewhat of a man. You should feel honored.

This is sexual harassment!

Come on! This is no time for you to be slacking off!

It gets busy at night too, you know!

Have mercy! It gets busy at night too, you know!

Have mercy!

There's plenty of them! Bunch of troubled souls.

Dr. Sakura's Consultations Go to the Holy Land!

"Hello, Sakura..."

"Lots of new games are being released these days,"

"but I can't buy them since I don't have much money."

"Bye."

"30 years old and doing house chores."

Dr. Sakura ...Get a job. Get a job!

"Hello, Sakura..."

"There are so many new shows that I want to watch every season."

"I'm so busy checking what's on air, I'm missing my work every day."

"Man, this is troublesome. 25 years old. Dream Hunter."

Get a job!

There are so many losers in life.

It gets me excited!

Sakura.

Chitose! You should knock before you come in!

But I did knock.

Really? Sorry.

What were you doing?

Oh, it was nothing. Nothing.

It seemed like you were having fun.

No, not really...

What were you doing?

What?

I was just checking my e-mail. I have a pen pal in France.

He wanted to know about the Japanese temples.

I didn't know you had that kind of hobby.

Well, this isn't something that you tell other people.

Anyway, what can I do for you?

It's really nothing. I just wanted to talk to you.

But it's okay.

Huh?

You seem very serious most of the time, but now I know that...

...you have a hobby.

That's right!

Hobbies are important!

If you don't take a breather once in a while, you won't be able to go on.

Well, sorry for bothering you.

Say hello to your friend in France for me.

Ah, you mean Sakura?

I didn't know what she'd been doing all these years.

She seemed to be having fun.

What is it? You want some pen pals too?

It's not like that, but I just wanted to know...

...what other people do during their spare time.

Let's see...

I guess they just do whatever they want.

Whatever they want?

It's no fun just doing work and training. Right?

Right?

What do you usually do, Haruka?

Secret.

You need a good pastime too, Chitose.

I have a feeling that Chitose will be an honest wife.

Well, I'm a nun, so...

Huh?

Can't you take a joke?

Were you like this when you were living in the countryside?

Chitose?

Being worked like a slave every single day...

My 16th summer will be over soon!

I'm heading out to enjoy the nightlife of the city!

Ikkou!

Ugh! Chitose!

Where do you think you're going this time of night?

It's way past your bedtime...

You idiot! Keep your voice down!

I'm begging you! Just let me go!

I just want to enjoy the summer!

Come on! Pretty please?

Did I say I was going to tell on you?

What? Did I say I was going to tell on you?

I'm coming with youl!

What!

Chitose, what got into you?

I have to come with you so you won't cause any trouble.

What's that supposed to mean?

It doesn't matter what it means.

Hey, Ikkou. Where's your helmet?

What's that?

You need to wear a helmet when riding a bicycle. It's a rule!

Since two people are riding on this bike, who cares about rules?

I see. This is against the rules too.

Don't just admit it.

It sounds like we're doing something really bad.

Anyway, hang on tight!

I hope you don't fall over, Ikkou!

Hey, where are we going?

I dunno.

You mean, you didn't have a plan?

I dunno.

You never plan anything.

All I know is, we're going to be free.

Hey, do you hate the temple that much?

I'm not sure.

"l don't know. I'm not sure." That's all you ever say.

You came along since you didn't know either!

Huh?

Nothing! Anyway, we just need to feel refreshed!

Karaoke Room Wani

Well, enjoy.

Hey! What do you think you're doing by dragging me in here?

You have the wrong idea.

This is the only place for us to have fun at this time of day.

Have fun?

You've never done karaoke before?

The only karaoke in our village was the one at the public office.

What kind of place did you live in?

Then, this is your first time doing karaoke?

Yeah.

Here.

Go ahead and sing. You'll feel refreshed.

I don't really know these songs.

You really are straight laced.

Yeah. You're right.

All right! Then, let's find a song that you know.

How about this one?

This one's good too.

The sunset fades over the blossom fields...

The edge of the mountain disappears...

...into the thick mist.

Wow! You're really good! ...into the thick mist.

Wow! You're really good!

We sang lots of songs.

Karaoke is fun.

You're good at singing.

You think so?

I wouldn't know.

I guess everyone has a special talent.

That's a weird way to compliment someone!

I'm complimenting, so don't get mad. That's a weird way to compliment someone!

I'm complimenting, so don't get mad.

Well, what should we do now?

Hey, I want to take a picture!

Huh? Hey, I want to take a picture!

Well, don't they have machines to take pictures at arcades?

Yeah, they do, but...

I don't know any arcades that are open this late.

Invader House ARASHI

Invader House ARASHI Oh!

Invader House ARASHI

Invader House ARASHI This one's open.

Invader House ARASHI

Invader House ARASHI It's probably an unlicensed arcade that operates illegally.

It smells musty.

I don't see any of the latest games!

These people are playing games at this time of the night?

So are we.

Right.

Ikkou, there it is.

It looks quite old too.

Couple Photos It looks quite old too.

Hey, don't get too close!

We can't take a picture unless we get closer.

Hey! Watch where you're touching!

I wanted to make it look like we're lovers.

I'm not your lover! I wanted to make it look like we're lovers.

Well, let's just pretend.

Where do you think you're touching!

Sorry! Where do you think you're touching!

You idiot!

That wasn't nice!

It's your fault, Ikkou!

Hey, hey!

You two trying to show off?

Yeah!

Ikkou.

She's trembling. How cute!

Cute!

You should leave this guy with close-cropped hair...

...and come play with us!

Play with us!

Play?

Well, like those things that everyone wanted to know and...

...the secrets we're going to tell you.

And on top of that, things that we'll regret.

I don't like the sound of that...

That's enough!

Ikkou?

What do you want?

Huh?

You think you can scare people by dressing like that?

We're leaving now.

Chitose.

Okay.

Hold it! You think we'll just let you leave?

Eh?

Yeah, we're leaving!

See ya!

Leaving?

Leaving?

Leaving?

You can't leave!

Come and play with us!

Ikkou, these people...

What are they?

They're vengeful spirits.

Oh, come on! Give me a break!

Arcades back in the days were filled with people like them.

They are stuck here.

Our time of adolescence will never end!

Let's keep playing forever!

Break all the rules!

Don't trust anyone over thirty!

We're outnumbered! Chitose, we should leave...

You people!

Aren't you ashamed to be living your lives like this?

Umm...they're dead already...

Bitterness, remorse, exhaustion...

People live through suffering that's as big as the ocean!

But there is no need to lament over this path of suffering!

By leading a cheerful life, you will be able to live long.

Then, your souls will be guided to heaven.

But, what do you call this?

You refuse to rest in peace.

And you gather in one spot causing trouble for many living folks.

Don't you feel sorry for your parents and your ancestors?

Yeah, but we're just...

Excuses like that make you less of a man!

Yes.

Accept your sins.

You'll never be able to see your friends and teachers eye to eye!

This is the first time anyone's ever scolded me like this!

I wanted to be a good boy too, you know!

I appreciate what my parents did for me,

but what am I supposed to do now?

Mommy!

Buddha's mercy is without boundaries.

If your heart is true,

your souls will be able to leave the cycle of reincarnation.

Then, you will be able to reach the land of holiness.

My body is starting to feel lighter!

Me too!

Maybe I can finally go home!

Mommy!

Miss, you're a fine woman!

You're a Buddhist saint!

A Buddhist saint!

I'm going to create a fan club for you in heaven!

Oh, I don't know about that...

I hope you get along well with that young man.

It's all my fault!

I'll go back to the temple, so please forgive me!

God! Buddha!

Ikkou! Ikkou! God! Buddha!

Chitose?

Why are you trying to rest in peace?

Huh?

What happened?

The arcade may have disappeared, but that photo remains.

Must be the pride of the arcade.

Can't be.

Well, everyone needs some time off.

Yeah.

Huh?

Chitose Fan Club

No!

Huh? No!

They covered my face!

I'm guessing they're all awake by now.

We have to apologize to them.

I don't want to...

Hey, I thought you weren't going back.

I lost heart.

I'm glad you didn't lose your soul.

I can't rest in peace after your lecture!

You were almost taken to the afterlife with them.

Besides...

I can't drag you around looking like that.

Then, all you have to do is leave without me.

You have all these excuses, but you really want to return to the temple.

You can believe whatever you want.

You're stubborn!

You're too serious!

What did you say?

Yeah, yeah.

Oh!

Huh?

That's right. Everyone has a home to go back to.

Looks like you two learned another valuable lesson...

...that will help you reach enlightenment.

Grandma!

Ikkou!

You think I would let you off the hook with a smile?

Grandma! Forgive me!

Ah, if we escape this rainy cave Ah, ame no doukutsu wo nuketara

Ah, rings of light will overlap one another Ah, hikari no wa ga kasanariau

Hey hey hey,

if you can feel the beginning of summer Natsu no hajimari wo kanjitara

Hi hi hi,

then squint your eyes and open your umbrella Me wo hosomete kasa wo hiraku

In the alleyway where I walked to avoid the sun Hinata wo sakete aruita roji ni

You try to act brave as your shadow stretches out Tsuyogari na kimi no kage ga nobiru

The blue in the sky starts to melt Tokedashita sora no ao

It will soon burn bright red, happy end Yagate makka ni moete, happy end

Now I'm sure they'll continue, happy days Ima tashika ni tsuzuku happy days

Look, it's burning bright red, happy end Hora makka ni moete happy end

Now I'm sure they'll continue, happy days Ima tashika ni tsuzuku happy days

After all, you and lkkou were out all night.

What did you say?

You two are both youthful and full of energy...

...and eloped during the middle of the night.

Stop thinking about weird things!

I'll arrest you for shameless deeds!

Idiot! I'll arrest you for shameless deeds!

And so, our next episode is "Don't peek!!"

Ikkou is going to keep on releasing himself in school!

He never learns.

He stresses me out.

Huh? Why are you worried about him?

Next Episode: Don't Peek!! Huh? Why are you worried about him?

Next Episode: Don't Peek!! Huh? What?

Next Episode: Don't Peek!!
