Episode 203
The Scary Jizo Statues
**[00:09] Mei**
What was it?
**[00:10] Tsuru**
I was walking home from school yesterday...
**[00:14] Tsuru**
And there were these Jizo
statues in big trouble!
**[00:18] Mai**
That sounds rough!
**[00:19] Tsuru**
I felt really bad for them,
so I held an umbrella over them.
**[00:23] Mei**
An umbrella?
**[00:23] Tsuru**
Well, it was drizzling!
**[00:25] Mei**
Do something about the tigers and the spears!
**[00:27] Tsuru**
Then I went home.
**[00:29] Bol**
How exactly was that scary?
**[00:31] Tsuru**
It wasn't! But the story isn't over!
**[00:34] Tsuru**
That very night, I was in bed,
**[00:36] Tsuru**
and I heard this creepy sound like...
"Tha-thump! Tha-thump!"
**[00:39] Bol**
Oh?
**[00:40] Tsuru**
I went outside to see what it was...
**[00:43] Tsuru**
And it was the Jizo statues
from that afternoon!
**[00:45] Tsuru**
Scary, right?!
**[00:47] Both**
Scary!
**[00:48] Tsuru**
For some reason they left food
and stuff in front of my house.
**[00:51] Tsuru**
Scary, right?
**[00:52] Mei**
No, that's not scary at all.
**[00:54] Mei**
Those were gifts.
**[00:55] Tsu**
Gifts? Really?
**[00:57] Mei**
There's a classic story
called *Jizo and the Hats*.
**[00:57] Sign**
Jizo
and
the
Hats
**[00:59] Mei**
One snowy day, an old man gives
hats to the Jizo statues,
**[01:02] Mei**
and then the Jizo statues bring
him gifts of rice in thanks.
**[01:07] Mei**
I think those statues brought gifts
to thank you for your kindness!
**[01:12] Tsuru**
I wish they'd brought better stuff, though.
**[01:14] Bol**
Did they bring rice to you, too?
**[01:15] Mei**
Yeah.
**[01:16] Mei**
But getting rice from
strangers creeps me out.
**[01:19] Mei**
I can't even eat rice
balls someone else makes.
**[01:22] Mei**
Don't be like that!
**[01:23] Noki**
They didn't give you anything else?
**[01:25] Tsuru**
They also gave me food!
**[01:27] Mei**
What kind of food?
**[01:28] Tsuru**
Strawberry jam, marmalade, and margarine!
**[01:28] Sign**
Strawberry Jam, Marmalade, Margarine
**[01:28] Sign**
Strawberry Jam, Marmalade, Margarine
**[01:31] Bol**
Those are all bread condiments!
**[01:32] Noki**
They shoulda given you bread, not rice!
**[01:34] Mei**
Now, now...
**[01:35] Tsuru**
They also gave me the newest game system!
**[01:37] Bol**
That's actually freakin' awesome!
**[01:39] Bol**
I'm freakin' jealous now!
**[01:41] Tsu**
But I already have this one.
**[01:43] Tsu**
Those Jizos are so useless.
**[01:45] Nok**
Bolt.
**[01:46] Bol**
Nokio.
**[01:47] Both**
Let's go!
**[01:48] Mei**
You're just after the gifts!
**[01:52] Tsuru**
They're polishing the heck out of those!
**[01:54] Mei**
They sure are!
**[01:55] Noki**
They're done! Look at this Jizo of mine!
**[01:57] Mei**
It doesn't belong to you.
**[01:59] Mei**
His features are more defined!
**[02:01] Noki**
Even old men want to be attractive.
**[02:03] Noki**
So I used a chisel to change his face!
**[02:05] Mei**
That's so blasphemous!
**[02:06] Noki**
He's gonna love this!
**[02:08] Noki**
I can't wait for my gifts!
**[02:10] Bol**
Look at this Jizo of mine!
**[02:11] Bol**
In the old story, the Jizos were cold.
**[02:14] Bol**
So this is the correct answer!
**[02:16] Mei**
A down jacket is *not* the answer!
**[02:18] Tsu**
It's summer, man!
**[02:20] Bol**
I can't wait to get my new game system!
**[02:22] Mei**
Not sure you're getting it.
**[02:24] Bol**
I spent 50,000 yen on that down jacket!
**[02:26] Bol**
I'd better be getting it!
**[02:27] Mei**
That's a big gamble!
**[02:31] Both**
I'm so excited!
**[02:32] Mei**
I can't stop you from getting excited, but...
**[02:35] Mei**
Why are you waiting in my house?!
**[02:35] Sign**
One Day,
One Classic
Story
**[02:37] Noki**
It'd be scary to have Jizo
statues coming to my house.
**[02:39] Mei**
It's scary for me, too!
**[02:40] Mei**
Scary!
**[02:42] Noki**
Oh, calm down.
**[02:43] Noki**
We'll pick up our stuff and go right home.
**[02:44] Mei**
What am I, a postal service?
**[02:46] Mei**
Well, whatever.
**[02:47] Mei**
I doubt you're getting any
gifts for what you did.
**[02:51] Bol**
Th-That sound... Could it be?
**[02:53] Tsuru**
That's the same sound I heard!
**[02:55] Bol**
The Jizo statues are here!
**[02:57] Noki**
But which one? Which Jizo statue came?
**[03:00] Noki**
That Jizo of mine!
**[03:02] ---**
Damn it!
**[03:03] Mei**
He's really going to thank you for that?
**[03:06] Noki**
You're giving me this?
**[03:08] Noki**
Thank you, Jizo statue!
**[03:09] Mei**
What'd he give you?
**[03:11] Noki**
It's...
**[03:12] Noki**
An anpan with a bite taken out of it!
**[03:15] Noki**
It's a freakin' anpan with
a bite taken out of it!
**[03:17] Noki**
Is this a joke or something?!
**[03:19] Bol**
It's that Jizo of mine!
**[03:20] Tsuru**
Did he really appreciate getting
a down jacket in summer?
**[03:22] Bol**
Look at that shine! It's...
**[03:25] Mei**
What now?
**[03:26] Bol**
It's... a down jacket!
**[03:30] Bol**
That's the thing I gave you!
**[03:31] Mei**
He returned it!
**[03:34] Both**
This is unacceptable!
**[03:36] Noki**
Why didn't we get game systems?!
**[03:38] Tsuru**
Probably because you only helped
them to try to get stuff.
**[03:41] Bol**
In other words, we need to not make
it obvious we're trying to get stuff.
**[03:44] Tsuru**
Maybe.
**[03:45] Noki**
Thanks, Tsuruko. That's very educational.
**[03:47] Bol**
Thanks, Tsuruko.
**[03:48] Bol**
It's pretty late. We'll walk you home.
**[03:50] Noki**
Wanna stop by my place for dinner?
**[03:52] Tsuru**
You're suddenly nice...
**[03:53] Tsuru**
Are you after *my* game systems?!
**[03:56] Mei**
You're the scary ones!
**[03:57] Mei**
Scary!
**[03:59] Some**
And they all lived happily ever after!
