What is that?
- A Well? - Huh?
Eh? Why is there a Well on countryside road like this? (Episode 5)
- Let's investigate. - Why why? Why investigate?
You insist on checking Wells lately...
There may be a locksmith living inside...
How's that possible?
There's water in there. Can't live there, right?
But that blue thing was in there once.
Let him be, if he wants to check it so badly.
It'll put his mind at ease.
I may go in too, so don't worry.
Why would you go in there?
- What the heck!? - Hello everyone~!
I'm not from the Well...
I'm the Well itself~!
It's not like from inside the Well~!
It's the Well itself~!
It's not like from inside the Well~!
I'm a monster of the Well itself~!
By any chance are you a locksmith?
I can go this far out but~!
Won't go out any further, that's the system~!
I can go out this far but~!
I won't go out any further~!
But sometimes before I realize it.~
~I'm out much further~
Times like that, I'll stretch out and feel free~
~and go a little further~!
- He is a Well monster! - A Well monster!?
Well, I think he is a somewhat unique and pitiful monster...
You SOB well monster!
If I don't return within 10 seconds~!
- I'll get sick~ Not~ - He has a perfect guard.
It's not true so I'm fine~
I'm perfectly fine~!
Either in or out~ Atch AH~!
Quite likable but also pitiful.
Hi~
I made you think I'm dead~!
But I'm still alive, that's the system~!
I made you think I'm dead~!
But I'm alive, that's me~!
I really like him. Poor guy.
You're really a locksmith, aren't you?
No he isn't.
- There's no locksmith with this kind of system. - but...

"Yuusha Yoshihiko and Akuryo no Kagi"
Yoshihiko~! Yoshihiko~!!
Oh, here he comes, Hotoke!
Ne~ Ne~ Ne~ Yoshi-kun, Ne~
Yo-kun, Yo-kun, Yo-kun...Ne~
You still can't see me without the spectacles?
Yes, sorry...
Well, the annular eclipse was... quite a long time ago...
So, that spectacles....
Everyone will... forget what that is...
It's okay, as long as he can see you.
You're right. Then, ehhhh~
Listen, next, head to the village of Saku~ra.
Village of Saku~ra.
That village is, filled with some kind of evil air...
"Akuryo no Kagi" may be somewhere in that village.
- Understood. - Good. I'm counting on you.
- Farewell! - Areh..Areh...Areh...?
Huh? What's the matter? That's too normal today.
Hey, oh sorry I don't get it. What do you mean by normal?
Well, normally, you'll um...
You try those stupid jokes and impersonations...
Shut it!
Sorry, excuse me. Really.
I'm Hotoke, you know? Hotoke. Hotoke.
Hotoke telling stupid jokes? How can you say it's stupid?
Huh? You don't realize it?
You say stupid things every time.
Hey...really...um..
...little girl...I resent what you just said.
I'm Hotoke, right? Right?
How can Hotoke... say stupid things, right?
Right? It's all good? Farewell!
Ah! He doesn't have any material today.
Hey, let's stop this already...
...material and things... Hotoke DOESN'T NEED MATERIAL!!!
(Village of Saku~ra)
Please stop that!
I see, it doesn't look like a nice place.
It would seem so.
I wonder if that's the evil air that Hotoke was talking about...
- It looks so primitive... - But I think that's it.
- I'll have a talk with them. - Don't involve yourself with it! Yoshihiko!
- You're wasting your time! - You...
Hey you all! What are you doing you fools?!
Eh? It's Konpachi! (Kinpachi Sensei-Takeda Tetsuya)
The college entrance exam is just round the corner.
What are you doing throwing rocks at someone's house!?
- Old man in this house gets on my nerve! - Pay attention!
Listen! The way you write 'a person' in Kanji...
...it shows people supporting each other. That's how 'a person is written. (Imagine a long stick in left supported by a short stick on right)
Listen, this old man may get to your nerves, but...
...he is supporting someone, something. Right?
- I see. - You're right Konpachi-san.
Good. If you understand, don't be goofing around. Go home!
- Oii, let's go. - Oh.
- Are you a traveler? - Yes.
This place may be little rowdy but please stay and rest.
Thank you very much.
This may not be a safe town but it seems to have a wonderful leader.
- Are you travelers? - Yes we are.
You should leave as soon as possible.
There is a frightful shaman in this village.
I heard he will brainwash you and feed you to a monster.
I didn't believe it at first but...
It was true! It's so scary! Scary!
Well....What did you see?
I can't! I'm too scared!
Brainwash? Who'll brainwash?
He did say it's a shaman. So it's a witch doctor.
Let's spread out and have a look around this village.
Sure.
Please show a little more love, Okay? Show more respect to the student!
It seems this building is called 'A faculty office' by villagers
A faculty office...
Since they're the leaders, anyone brainwashing anybody would be...
The ones arguing now is, the one we met earlier...
...called Konpachi and Inui...
Konpachi and Inui may often have disagreements over differences in opinions....
The one who stopped Konpachi is called Higetori...
I heard he's more gentle than he look.
The woman who just came in...
... is called Amazo. She is like a doctor...
It seems Konpachi is scared of Amazo.
Oh, it's Kochon and Kyoton. (Koochoo & Kyootoo/Principal & Vice-principal)
These two must be the ones controlling this organization.
I think Kochon is the higher position.
I saw them in the noodle shop and Kyoton was humble towards her.
But no one looks like brainwashing the villagers and feeding them to a monster.
But Yoshihiko, our mission is to find the key.
If we don't get involved then,...
...we won't be brainwashed or fed to a monster.
Yes..You're right...
Anyway... I think this antique shop looks suspicious.
Well, it's a key so antique shops are always suspicious.
Fine. Let's look in here.
Yes.
What are you doing? Hey.
Why are you breaking those? Hey!
You must be juvenile delinquents.
You want to break things that much?
Go BREAK THE SCHOOL WINDOWS!!
Konpachi-sensei~!
KONPACHI-SENSEI~!!
Looks like the Kagi wasn't here...
There were no coins or seeds either...
What are you doing!? Matsuura! Kato!
Who are you talking about?
You've really done it this time, Ehh?
Who the heck did this?
Me.
Kato Masaru! How dare you!...
- I'm Yoshihiko. - Yoshihiko!
Follow me to the faculty office. I need to talk to you!
Eh!? Areh? That's bad. He's in trouble.
Attention!
- I can't move... - You're right.
What is he...?
Listen up, Yoshihiko.
Not everything can be forgiven by apology alone, HOWEVER...
The people that can't even apologise are the ones I can't forgive the most.
But there is a rule that says pots and barrels are okay to be broken...
What kind of shitty rule is that?
'Barrels and pots can be smashed'...
There is no such rule anywhere in the world!
Well well, Konpachi-san. That's enough for today.
Higetori-sensei, can you stay out of it?
- Konpachi-sensei. - Oh.
You're here Yuki~no.
Yoshihiko is here.
What is this...?
Every time he brushes up his hair,...
...my mind becomes confused...
Between Yoki~no and you...
There's new... um...
...life growing...
- Life...? - She is pregnant.
Although she is still in junior high school...
I'm sorry Yoshihiko-kun.
I told them I didn't want to cause trouble to you.
Why...?
I can't even make a sound...
We should... expel... these two right away!
Inui-sensei!
Is there no love in your teachings!?
What is going on?
Yoshihiko.
I want to name this child 'Ayumi*'. (*meaning walk, progress, move forward)
Ayumi..
The way Ayumi is written in Kanji,...
it's a combination of 'little' and 'stop'.
So little by little, take a break once in the while...
...and slowly move forward.
I want this child to grow up like that.
Yes.
Konpachi-sensei...
It's taking too much time...
Yoshihiko is too simple minded... He'll be decieved easily, don't you think?
He'll be fine.
He's a Yuusha after all.
He won't lose his sights on finding the 'Akuryo no Kagi'!
Oh, he's back.
What's wrong with it Danjo-san?
This is the results of our love.
Huh? What are you saying all of a sudden?
No matter what anyone says, I'm a father now.
I must wake up early tomorrow so I'm going to sleep now.
Something is not right.
EhhhTo...
- I'm sure they got to him. - I think so too.
Yoshihiko! Get a hold of yourself!
You're the Yuusha! Yoshihiko!
Why? Yoshihiko! Why do you need to deliver milk?
I need money to raise a child. I can't depend on my parents.
I got it! Konpachi must've...
...brainwashed him and told him to raise a child, right?
Oy, Yoshihiko! Wake up already!
Why does this house get two?
Hang in there Yuki~no-san.
Who? Who is this Yuki~no-san? Who?
Ah~ fine!
I'll have a talk to this Konpachi!
Oy Danjo! The Enemy is stronger than we thought.
Murasaki...we can't just sit here.
- We must investigate Konpachi too. - Yes.
I have something to report to everyone.
I believe the leader Yoshihiko's brainwashing was successful.
That's wonderful!
- That was easier than I thought, Konpachi-san. - Yes.
Then for the remaining three...
...let's discipline them one by one.
Such a lively four...
Our master should be very happy.
Ah!
What the heck's wrong with your hair?
uhmm...
The Color of your hair doesn't suite this village.
You must dye it black by tomorrow!
Inui-sensei! We are not creating robots here.
We're creating human beings!
Konpachi-sensei is too soft with the students!
Oh, Merebu...
- You've got some guts. - Well my hair has always been this color...
- Keep it as long as you want. - What are you saying?
How is it? Does it feel good?
Well, my hair has always been this color so...
Hey, What are you doing!? Konpachi-kun!
We're just taking a stroll here.
Because of you all looking like that, the entire village is in a mess!
Well, I would like to stop this now but...
I see, Konpachi-kun, if you don't stop this now, I'll arrest you!
Arrest me? Do you think you can arrest me!?
- What did you say? - Who do you think you are?
You attacked me first! I'll arrest you for resisting arrest!
Be quiet! When are you going to retire?
- When are you going to start talking normal? - When do you think?
What is this all about?
Is something troubling you?
Nothing in particular...
It must be hard to only learn useless spells, isn't it?
Konpachi-san...
I'm a human being. You're a human being.
Konpachi-san..!
Do you understand?
A man and a woman love each other.
...and give birth to a new life.
This is very natural.
And a parent's job is to protect this precious life.
Why am I sitting here...?
You understand, right? Murasaki-san.
I understand. Amazo-sensei.
Everyone!
- Let's put our money together! - Yeah!
The Kanji for a parent is...
...written as 'stand on the tree and watch over'.
I wish the two of you will watch over the new life...
...from the top of the tree.
Where are you going? Miyazawa Tamotsu.
- I'm Yoshihiko. - Where are you going? Yoshihiko.
- I'm going to climb a tree. - It's just a metaphor!
What are you saying?
Listen. There are no parents who actually watch kids from the top of the trees.
- Don't take everything so literally. - Konpachi-san.
What's going on? Where did the other three go to?
No time to find the 'Akuryo no kagi'...Huh?
3 nen B gumi~!
KONPACHI-SENSE~I!!
Oh! No~!!
They're all brainwashed by Konpachi~!
Sense~i!!
Yoshihiko!
Don't follow him. You'll become food for the monster!
What are you saying? Danjo-san.
Konpachi-sensei is a wonderful teacher.
He's right, Danjo. You should have a nice talk with Konpachi-san too.
I can't live without Konpachi-sensei any more...
Come with us, Danjo-san.
Sense~i!
This is bad!
They've really gone off the deep end.
Yosha....Yosha...
Yosha....
Sahh. This Delicious mochi will be ready soon.
Sensei...I...
..will go become food for the monster...
I see... then go.
Me too. I'll go to the monster...
Me too.
Yoshihiko, what about you?
If I become food for the monster...
...Yoki~no can give birth to a healthy baby? Then I'll...
Good. Then Go!
Good. Job well done!
My name is Danjo.
I'm traveling with Yuusha Yoshihiko.
Why are you trying to...
...feed people to a monster?
What do you mean feed people to a monster...?
We must...
...find the 'Akuryo no Kagi' for the sake of world peace!
I beg you! Return my comrades to me!
Danjo...?
Return...?
Enough of this nonsense! I'm calling the police!
Fine with me.
So that's your style of education...?
Danjo...
If that's how you want to play it...
I'll play it my way too.
What are you doing!? Stop this!
What are you going to do? I mean business.
If you want...your.. comrades back that much...
Go to the offering hut!
Those three should be there by now.
An offering you say?
You've finally admitted it.
You've planned to...
...offer my comrades to the monster!
But don't think you can get away with this.
The Police will be here any minute now!
I'm prepared to face the consequences.
Well, do whatever you want with me.
- DANJO! -DANJO!!
Nooo! Danjo will become monster food!
Hurry up and help him!
There's nothing I can do to help him!
What are we going to do!?
- O~i Danjo! - Danjo!
- Yoshihiko! - Danjo-san, hurry!
-Yoshihiko, why? - I'll explain later, let's go.
Stop!
I'm sorry.
I was pretending to be brainwashed so I could monitor them closely.
Oi, oi, you should have told us.
You must deceive your friends first before deceiving the enemy.
I'm really sorry.
By the way, we were really under their control...
I saw some strange light beam too...
But for some reason, listening to Danjo made me come to my senses.
Those teachers are controlled by the monster. Konpachi too.
And Konpachi have the key to the monster's chamber.
He keeps the key on him at all times.
He'll be here any minute.
A key to the monster's chamber...
That could be the 'Akuryo no Kagi'...
He's coming!
What are you doing?
Hurry up and go to the master's chamber.
Sensei...you're controlled by the monster.
I'll get rid of the monster. Please hand over the key.
I see...
Then, let me ask you a question. Yoshihiko.
How were you able to undo my brainwashing?
I was never brainwashed in the beginning.
About the kanji explanation you do all the time...
Isn't it great? It's the best.
It works every time.
It works on everybody. It never misses...
Why didn't it work on you?
I...
...don't know that Kanji!
So glad!
So glad that Yoshihiko is ignorant!
Come to think of it, he is a bit dumb...isn't he...
Stupid? But at least you know the Kanji for walk...? (It's a Second grade level Kanji)
DON'T KNOW!
In Yoshihiko's head,...
...it's filled with the mission to find the "Akuryo no Kagi". That's all!
That is the true Yuusha.
The Kanji for parent? HOW SHOULD I KNOW?!! (Also a Second grade level Kanji)
You got to be kidding.
Here! J! O! D! an!
I'm sorry but please sleep here for a while.
Sensei...
I'm sure you're truly a good teacher.
Just wait here. We will...
...return you back to normal soon.
So you're the monster controlling the villagers!?
Go! Yoshihiko!
If you defeat it, the curse will be lifted!
He did it!
So glad that the curse on Saku~ra village has been lifted.
Now the teachers can return to normal educational guidance.
Sukasah, Omae sah...
Since you're a wizard, why would you fall so easily to the spells of others?
Why is that?
Maybe....
My character...?
You...are so useless...
- Hey you all! - Oh, here he comes.
Ah~ Hotoke-sama.
I've obtained a possible "Akuryo no kagi"
Sorry sorry sorry... Actually...To be honest... that's not it.
- It's gone. - Um...
I erased it, Since it's a fake.
How can this be?
We worked so hard for it...
...then you show up and erase it so quickly!
Sorry,wait a minute. Wait. Yo-kun, Yo-kun.
Yoshi-kun, Yoshi-kun with that spectacles for the annular solar eclipse...
...You can wear it without holding it now?
Is that, um... sorry... you've become a pro at it?
Don't worry about it. He noticed he can just put it on. Hands free too.
- That's great. - He figured it out.
Then, then, since you're all here...
Would you like to...see... Hotoke's new material?
Brother!
Hisa has mastered the strongest martial arts...
...Gracie Jiu-Jitsu... (AKA Jiu-jitsu Brasileiro)
I will use it to defeat all enemies.
