1. More than a thousand years ago...Copy !req
2. there was a formal government organization in the city of Kyoto...Copy !req
3. called the Ministry of Onmyou Affairs.Copy !req
4. The technical employees who served there were called Onmyou mystics.Copy !req
5. From a modern perspective, the shady incantations, the spells...Copy !req
6. and the telling of fortunes...Copy !req
7. may be considered to be meaningless rituals based in superstition.Copy !req
8. However, back then, for those who had aspirations in science...Copy !req
9. it was the focal point of the newest technology...Copy !req
10. from both inside and outside Japan.Copy !req
11. It was also the one and only research institution that sought to thoroughly study...Copy !req
12. the basic sciences such as astronomy, geography, and meteorology.Copy !req
13. See? There's nothing.Copy !req
14. Nothing. It's the pits.Copy !req
15. They said the construction people took it clean away.Copy !req
16. Ain't it just empty?Copy !req
17. I can't take it.Copy !req
18. That was the crystallization of my six years in grade school.Copy !req
19. What's a guy who doesn't even play baseball doing just collecting the cards?Copy !req
20. Things like the fruits of a geek's labor will be forever beyond me.Copy !req
21. It's not just the baseball cards.Copy !req
22. There are the vending machine toys...Copy !req
23. and the "Japan's Rare Animal Series"...Copy !req
24. that I went completely into debt to collect.Copy !req
25. All of it!Copy !req
26. Gimme back my Iriomote cat!Copy !req
27. Sasshi, you just moved into a brand new condo last month.Copy !req
28. Didn't you take it all with you over there?Copy !req
29. At the new place, I've been prohibited from bringing any of my geeky fruits of labor.Copy !req
30. Cuz it's mega small.Copy !req
31. And I hadn't heard anything about the house being torn down while I was away at camp.Copy !req
32. It's the pits.Copy !req
33. All I can do now is go home, eat a yam, fart and go to sleep.Copy !req
34. I can understand that it's a shock...Copy !req
35. but no matter what, being human, having your health is what's most important.Copy !req
36. Well, see ya later.Copy !req
37. Ya know...Copy !req
38. there's one other mega shocking thing that got decided while you were away at camp.Copy !req
39. I see. So, it's finally been decided. Finally?Copy !req
40. You're talking about this condo getting torn down, too, right?Copy !req
41. Yup, yup, and it was only just built too!Copy !req
42. Hey, what the heck?Copy !req
43. Our shop, Grill Pelican, is moving out too.Copy !req
44. But the Pelican is still gonna stay put for a long time to come!Copy !req
45. Masa-jii said so!Copy !req
46. That's what Masa-jii's been saying, but...Copy !req
47. Uh-huh.Copy !req
48. Dad's been offered a job at a hotel restaurant.Copy !req
49. Uh-huh.Copy !req
50. You know how dad trained to cook in France.Copy !req
51. He's saying he wants to work some place with proper facilities.Copy !req
52. Uh-huh.Copy !req
53. It's been decided.Copy !req
54. Uh-huh.Copy !req
55. Well, congratulations for that.Copy !req
56. So, you're gonna be moving away.Copy !req
57. Yeah.Copy !req
58. Say, what about school? You transferring?Copy !req
59. Weren't you gonna go home, fart and go to sleep?Copy !req
60. How the heck am I supposed to fart after hearing what you told me?Copy !req
61. Things that come out and things that swell happen when they happen.Copy !req
62. Well, don't worry.Copy !req
63. I'll be attending the school here for a bit of the second semester.Copy !req
64. So, where're you moving to?Copy !req
65. Lake Akan.Copy !req
66. Lake Akan?Copy !req
67. Lake Akan Tourist Hotel in Hokkaido.Copy !req
68. Hokkaido?Copy !req
69. The Hokkaido where the salmon spawn and return?Copy !req
70. We're supposed to go there by boat.Copy !req
71. It's mega far.Copy !req
72. But they've got Hokkaido foxes and marimo moss.Copy !req
73. You can live anywhere.Copy !req
74. Being human, having your health is what's most important.Copy !req
75. I'm home!Copy !req
76. Bon jour.Copy !req
77. Welcome back.Copy !req
78. Sasshi, set the lit sign outside for me.Copy !req
79. I just got here and you're using me already?Copy !req
80. Quit grumbling.Copy !req
81. Kids should just shut up and help the adults with their business.Copy !req
82. But I ain't your kid, Masa-jii.Copy !req
83. Fool!Copy !req
84. Anyone born around these parts, from the oldest one here...Copy !req
85. to Hiro-pon's grandkid Fumiya, are all kids of the shopping arcade!Copy !req
86. You all grew up carrying the portable shrine at the Seimei Shrine every year!Copy !req
87. Is that so?Copy !req
88. Say Masa-jii...Copy !req
89. what are ya gonna do about carrying the portable shrine at the festival this year?Copy !req
90. Doing, nothing.Copy !req
91. I'll be doing what I do every year.Copy !req
92. But you're gonna close down this shop and move overseas with everyone, right?Copy !req
93. Everyone? What everyone?Copy !req
94. Don't you worry, I won't be shutting down the Pelican.Copy !req
95. Non, non, non.Copy !req
96. You're still saying that, Papa?Copy !req
97. Being stubborn like that isn't tres bien.Copy !req
98. With all due respect, what in hell do you think one old man can do alone?Copy !req
99. That tres bien talk again?Copy !req
100. Papa, this le marché...Copy !req
101. It's very, very sad that this market will disappear...Copy !req
102. but arguing against something that's been decided is Dadaism!Copy !req
103. They're gonna tear down all the other houses...Copy !req
104. we can't be the only ones to stay standing about!Copy !req
105. I need you to wise up already, you stubborn old man!Copy !req
106. Like hell I'm gonna stand for your lectures with bad French mixed in!Copy !req
107. All this time I ran this shop with your dead ma.Copy !req
108. I ain't gonna let it close down while I'm still kicking!Copy !req
109. And what the hell is with this redevelopment?Copy !req
110. These parts were finished developing fifty years ago!Copy !req
111. Moron! What's finished is your brain, you dimwit!Copy !req
112. What? Dimwit?Copy !req
113. What's French about that?Copy !req
114. Let's hear ya say that again, you little...Copy !req
115. I heard your grandma used to be just like Masa-jii.Copy !req
116. Yeah, she was sitting at the front desk right up until the night before she went in her coffin.Copy !req
117. Did ya know?Copy !req
118. About how my grandpa had a crush on your grandma?Copy !req
119. No way!Copy !req
120. Well, it's back when they were kids, though.Copy !req
121. Oh, you scared me there, 'cause I thought it was something recent.Copy !req
122. It'd be just bad if she came back to haunt us over that.Copy !req
123. But hadn't you ever heard anything from your grandma?Copy !req
124. From my grandma?Copy !req
125. This is just a woman's intuition, ya know?Copy !req
126. But I think Masa-jii and your grandma are hiding something.Copy !req
127. She didn't seem like she had anything to hide.Copy !req
128. Oh, come to think of it, grandpa was always complaing about how...Copy !req
129. grandma had the hots for someone else before they got married.Copy !req
130. Way I hear, some egghead who made this shopping arcade.Copy !req
131. Made this place? You mean, like the person who designed it?Copy !req
132. Maybe it was someone from a municipal office.Copy !req
133. Back when she was in school, grandma made lunch everyday and visited him.Copy !req
134. I wonder what kind of guy this egghead was?Copy !req
135. An egghead who made this shopping arcade?Copy !req
136. Never even heard of him.Copy !req
137. Yeah? There's no way Masa-jii wouldn't know the guy...Copy !req
138. which means, they were serious romantic rivals and he's still bitter about it!Copy !req
139. I guess my grandma was real popular.Copy !req
140. Way I hear, she had big, honking boobs and a nice figure!Copy !req
141. And creamy skin to boot!Copy !req
142. Pervert.Copy !req
143. You idiot!Copy !req
144. Mercy!Copy !req
145. You can't see this pelican sign from the street at all!Copy !req
146. What's the point?Copy !req
147. Man, my hat fell down there.Copy !req
148. What the hell are you doing changing the subject?Copy !req
149. I'm done!Copy !req
150. Sayaka, you're finished already?Copy !req
151. I'm dieting right now.Copy !req
152. Dieting?Copy !req
153. Man, if they're gonna redevelop this place anyway...Copy !req
154. I wish they'd make it cool like Shibuya.Copy !req
155. Moron! People couldn't live in a place like that!Copy !req
156. I want a big supermarket.Copy !req
157. There's the department store!Copy !req
158. It costs way too much to shop at the department store.Copy !req
159. I couldn't get by without the clearance sales at supermarkets.Copy !req
160. Satoshi, did that Masa-bou say anything?Copy !req
161. Masa-jii?Copy !req
162. Well, he's the same as grandma.Copy !req
163. He's saying he won't take down the store sign as long as he's kicking...Copy !req
164. even if they're the last store standing.Copy !req
165. He's as kooky as ever. There's no point in holding out on your own.Copy !req
166. Point?Copy !req
167. Speaking of which, there's a turtle on top of the bathhouse, too.Copy !req
168. There's a bird over at Arumi's.Copy !req
169. Do those have any point to them?Copy !req
170. There's no point to those signs if the customers can't see them.Copy !req
171. Point, eh?Copy !req
172. The Turtle Bath and Masa-bou's Pelican...Copy !req
173. are the linchpins of Abenobashi Shopping Arcade.Copy !req
174. But with everyone cleared out of there now...Copy !req
175. I suppose it's just more odd talking about the point and the like.Copy !req
176. How long're you gonna take to eat?Copy !req
177. It definitely feels like there's something to it.Copy !req
178. Why don't you just ask him straight up?Copy !req
179. Oh...Copy !req
180. Well, you know, I'm not sure if a kid should be asking about it.Copy !req
181. There's just that feel to it.Copy !req
182. Grandpa's being obstinate about staying behind by himself.Copy !req
183. Masa-jii's staying behind?Copy !req
184. Of course, we can't do that.Copy !req
185. It's a mega headache for the whole family.Copy !req
186. Dad's actually real sad about leaving too, after all.Copy !req
187. That was good!Copy !req
188. Thanks a bunch.Copy !req
189. Aren't you sad?Copy !req
190. Not a bit.Copy !req
191. "Where you live is home."Copy !req
192. Being human, having your health is what's most important.Copy !req
193. Oh, but there is something that's gonna be rough.Copy !req
194. I don't like the cold.Copy !req
195. But I also sorta feel it's not good to uproot grandpa against his will...Copy !req
196. Really? That must be disappointing.Copy !req
197. It's no big deal, really.Copy !req
198. and drag him off to some other place.Copy !req
199. Thanks a bunch!Copy !req
200. Hey, Arumi-chan!Copy !req
201. Beautiful as ever, aren't ya?Copy !req
202. Hello, Mister.Copy !req
203. So, you're gonna let Masa-jii stay here 'cause of his old crush?Copy !req
204. No, that's important, too...Copy !req
205. but I feel like something even more messed up would happen if Masa-jii left.Copy !req
206. Something even more messed up?Copy !req
207. Like Abenobashi being overrun by kogals in mini-skirts?Copy !req
208. What's that?Copy !req
209. Aniki's wish.Copy !req
210. Ain't that more like your wish?Copy !req
211. No, it ain't.Copy !req
212. Hey there, you two.Copy !req
213. You two always get along so well.Copy !req
214. Afternoon, Aki-neechan.Copy !req
215. Dearie, it's still good morning for me.Copy !req
216. When Arumi-chan leaves this place...Copy !req
217. it's gonna feel like another light's gone out 'round here.Copy !req
218. I'll bet you'll be lonely when she leaves.Copy !req
219. No way, not at all!Copy !req
220. There you go, letting your foolish pride get in the way.Copy !req
221. Even when they're this small, men are just so cute!Copy !req
222. Say, Aki-nee...Copy !req
223. you've been friends with Sasshi's family for a long time, right?Copy !req
224. Yes, I have.Copy !req
225. The lady at the Turtle Bath has been kind to me since I was young.Copy !req
226. Who ever thought she'd pass away so soon?Copy !req
227. Um, there's something I'd like to ask you.Copy !req
228. What is it?Copy !req
229. Was there some shady relationship between my grandpa and Sasshi's grandma?Copy !req
230. You're still drinking that thing?Copy !req
231. No, that's not it.Copy !req
232. See, see, what Arumi's trying to say isn't about past triangle relationships or lunches.Copy !req
233. It's not about that, but you see, well...Copy !req
234. Let's see...Copy !req
235. There, there. Calm down and drink some ramune.Copy !req
236. Okay.Copy !req
237. Do you know how our two houses are related? Like their positions?Copy !req
238. And about a turtle and a bird being the linchpins of the shopping arcade.Copy !req
239. A turtle and a bird?Copy !req
240. Right.Copy !req
241. I know.Copy !req
242. What?Copy !req
243. It's posted at Seimei's.Copy !req
244. It's called the harmony of the four gods.Copy !req
245. A turtle, a bird, a dragon, and a tiger.Copy !req
246. This is it.Copy !req
247. A turtle...Copy !req
248. and a bird.Copy !req
249. Harmony of the four gods.Copy !req
250. So, basically, it's lucky for places...Copy !req
251. to have these things in the four cardinal directions.Copy !req
252. Looks like it could fit Abeno Ginza just right.Copy !req
253. In the north is Genbu...Copy !req
254. The turtle is the Turtle Bath that your family runs.Copy !req
255. In the south is Suzaku...Copy !req
256. When it comes to a bird in the south...Copy !req
257. That'd be our pelican.Copy !req
258. Then, what about the western edge?Copy !req
259. Oh!Copy !req
260. Tiger's Gold Coin Dumplings!Copy !req
261. Which means...Copy !req
262. Lessee, lessee, lessee...Copy !req
263. It's like this, right? And like this, so...Copy !req
264. The Seiryu in the east...Copy !req
265. Ryu, dragon...Copy !req
266. Dragon's Wooden Clog Shop!Copy !req
267. I see!Copy !req
268. That means...Copy !req
269. We're the only one left.Copy !req
270. The thing I don't get is how this is related to Masa-jii's kooky attitude.Copy !req
271. How it's related...Copy !req
272. All right! Let's go ask him directly!Copy !req
273. Yeah! It's the only thing to do!Copy !req
274. You're right!Copy !req
275. I knew it!Copy !req
276. That bastard's sleeping there again!Copy !req
277. Hey, get down!Copy !req
278. Ya can't sleep there!Copy !req
279. Get down!Copy !req
280. You bastard!Copy !req
281. You listening to me?Copy !req
282. Why you! Take that and that!Copy !req
283. You little!Copy !req
284. Damn fat cat!Copy !req
285. This here is the precious bird spirit!Copy !req
286. You thickheaded bastard!Copy !req
287. Arumi, you're too fast!Copy !req
288. You're just too slow!Copy !req
289. What the heck is this?Copy !req
290. Arumi! Sasshi!Copy !req
291. Masa-jii!Copy !req
292. Don't fall!Copy !req
293. What?Copy !req
294. A thief?Copy !req
295. The Pelican...Copy !req
296. Papa!Copy !req
297. Arumi!Copy !req
298. Arumi! What happened to Masa-jii?Copy !req
299. Sasshi, call an ambulance! Telephone! Telephone!Copy !req
300. He fell hard on his hip, so he should get some quiet rest for a while.Copy !req
301. Thank you for everything.Copy !req
302. Please take care.Copy !req
303. Watch for a chance and make sure you set him straight, all right?Copy !req
304. I know!Copy !req
305. But this is enough for today!Copy !req
306. Oh, it's a bird.Copy !req
307. So?Copy !req
308. What'd you do after you saw the so-called dragon?Copy !req
309. I fell asleep again.Copy !req
310. Give the tall tales a rest.Copy !req
311. If it were true, how the heck could you go to sleep after seeing a dragon?Copy !req
312. Yeah, but no one else was up yet...Copy !req
313. and I was sleepy.Copy !req
314. Of course, you were. 'Cause you were dreaming.Copy !req
315. It wasn't a dream! It was totally real!Copy !req
316. The messed up stuff you were talking about is happening right now!Copy !req
317. 'Cause our pelican broke?Copy !req
318. What did Masa-jii say?Copy !req
319. Nothing.Copy !req
320. Did you ask him about the harmony of the four gods?Copy !req
321. I can't ask about that.Copy !req
322. And it doesn't matter anymore.Copy !req
323. What do you mean that it doesn't matter?Copy !req
324. Grandpa's getting out of the hospital next week.Copy !req
325. Oh, I see. So, that's it.Copy !req
326. He's already given up on keeping the restaurant up...Copy !req
327. and it's been decided that we're all going to Hokkaido, so...Copy !req
328. So, you're all going.Copy !req
329. I'm glad.Copy !req
330. I'm sorry, Sasshi.Copy !req
331. Why're you apologizing?Copy !req
332. It doesn't make any sense.Copy !req
333. But even after you transfer to Lake Akan...Copy !req
334. Mu...Copy !req
335. Mu?Copy !req
336. Mu!Copy !req
337. Mu...Copy !req
338. Mushrooms?Copy !req
339. Mushrooms...Copy !req
340. What the hell was that?Copy !req
341. That was, that was...Copy !req
342. What was it?Copy !req
343. Starting from the left...Copy !req
344. shitake...Copy !req
345. matsutake...Copy !req
346. death cap...Copy !req
347. pig's ears...Copy !req
348. usukimorinokasa...Copy !req
349. urabenihotei shimeji...Copy !req
350. kichahouraitake!Copy !req
351. How educational! G'bye!Copy !req
352. Wait for me!Copy !req
353. Arumi, don't leave me behind!Copy !req
354. Doesn't the town seem awfully flat somehow?Copy !req
355. It's just your imagination!Copy !req
356. What kinda joke is this?Copy !req
357. What? What?Copy !req
358. Where the heck are we?Copy !req
359. Talk about an impressive castle.Copy !req
360. Is it a love hotel?Copy !req
361. This is the pits.Copy !req
362. Preview time!Copy !req
363. Arumi, it's the preview! The preview for the next episode!Copy !req
364. What're ya so excited about?Copy !req
365. It's been my dream to do a next episode preview.Copy !req
366. You're weird.Copy !req
367. Lemme do the preview. Do ya mind? Do ya mind? Huh? Huh?Copy !req
368. Just do it.Copy !req
369. Okay, okay, okay, here goes, here goes.Copy !req
370. I don't really care, but can't you do something about looking like a dope?Copy !req
371. Your pants're uneven, you've got stains from spilled food on your shirt...Copy !req
372. you've got a booger hanging from your nose, and your face is moronic.Copy !req
373. We've only just started. You gotta shape up a little, ya know?Copy !req
374. Wait, wait...Copy !req
375. And say, you're gonna run out of time if you don't hurry up and do the preview.Copy !req
376. Next time!Copy !req
