[02:02] MALE READER/I
    In this world, there are stories so
    gruesome they make your hair stand up.

    For example, the ghosts of an elderly
    couple, wandering around in an old castle.

    A green hand that will pull you
    into the bottom of the lake.

[02:44] MARUKO
    Jeez, that scared me!
[02:47] MARUKO
    My heart is still pounding!
[02:50] TAMAE
    Me too.
[02:52] HAMAJI
    What scared you so badly?
[02:54] MARUKO
    This book.
[02:56] TAMAE
    It's about ghosts from all over the world,
    and they're extremely frightening!
[03:01] HAMAJI
    Oh yeah?
[03:02] BUTARO
    More importantly, do you know
    about the cursed poster, boo?
[03:07] MARUKO
    The cursed poster? What's that?
[03:10] HAMAJI
    You know the cigarette store in city block 3?
[03:13] HAMAJI
    It's the poster on that wall of that store.
[03:17] BUTARO
    Apparently, the eye of the
    man in the poster glows, boo.
[03:21] BUTARO
    I hear people have seen that at night, boo.
[03:25] MARUKO
    - No way.
    - What?
[03:26] HAMAJI
    I'm thinking about going there
    after school to check if it's true.
[03:31] BUTARO
    His eye might glow during the day too, boo!
[03:35] MARUKO
    The cursed poster, huh?
[03:37] MARUKO
    Sounds interesting.
[03:39] TAMAE
    Maru-chan, are you thinking about going?!
[03:42] TAMAE
    You really shouldn't!
[03:46] NOGUCHI
    If Sakura-san is going,
    then maybe I'll go too.

[03:54] MARUKO
    Is this the cursed poster?
[03:56] TAMAE
    I see...
SIGN    Be Careful in Dark Streets
[03:59] BUTARO
    It's not scary at all, boo.
[04:00] MARUKO
    First of all, this man's face
    says more "comedy" than "curse."
[04:08] TAMAE
    It must have been just a
    rumor that it was cursed.
[04:11] HAMAJI
    But who knows, his eyes might
    actually glow at night.
[04:16] BUTARO
    But we can't come and
    confirm that at night, boo.
[04:19] STORE OWNER
    Are you curious about that poster?
[04:25] MARUKO
    Y-Yes, I guess...
[04:27] STORE OWNER
    Actually, I drew that poster.
[04:31] BUTARO
    I had no idea, boo.
[04:33] STORE OWNER
    There aren't a lot of streetlights around
    here, so it can be dangerous at night.
[04:38] STORE OWNER
    I drew it, hoping that it would
    benefit the people of the town.
[04:42] STORE OWNER
    I'm proud of how it came out.
[04:46] TAMAE
    It's very well drawn.
[04:48] STORE OWNER
    You think so?
[04:51] HAMAJI
    Mister, could I borrow this poster?
[04:54] STORE OWNER
    Huh? What would you do with it?
[04:56] HAMAJI
    Use it as a reference for my homework
    for arts and crafts at school.
[05:00] MARUKO
    You've got interesting taste,
    wanting to use that as a reference...
[05:05] HAMAJI
    I won't do that.
[05:07] BUTARO
    What do you mean, boo?
[05:10] HAMAJI
    Let's take it home and see if
    the eyes actually glow at night.
[05:15] BUTARO
    What?! Who would do that, boo?!
[05:18] HAMAJI
    Let's decide with rock,
    paper, scissors to be fair.

    And so, I ended up having to

[05:29] TOMOZOU
    That's a huge responsibility.
[05:32] MARUKO
    I hate to ask, but could you wake me up
    at night and look at the poster with me?
[05:37] MARUKO
    I'm too scared to do it alone.
[05:39] TOMOZOU
    No problem!
[05:41] TOMOZOU
    I can do it on my way to the bathroom.

[07:02] MALE READER/I
    This painting was displayed at a

    There are eyewitnesses who

    or change his facial expressions
    if you stare at it long enough.
[07:20] MALE READER/I
    There are also rumors that the boy
    walked the hallway at night.

    Good lord, what kind of grudge does
    he have to do something like that?

    such as dying from sickness or accidents,
    or their house being burned down.

    You scared me.

    You need to look at the poster, right?

    Oh yeah, that's right.
[09:47] MARUKO
    Grandpa, what if this really
    was a cursed poster?
[09:52] TOMOZOU
    Well...
[09:53] MARUKO
    He was having a relaxing time on
    the wall of the cigarette store,
[09:58] MARUKO
    so he must resent being
    taken to a place like this!
[10:03] TOMOZOU
    Then let's not look at it!

    But I promised everyone that I would.

    What do we do?

[21:20] KOSUGI
    Yup.
[21:21] MARUKO
    Everyone comes up with the same idea.
[21:24] TAMAE
    My dad is too impatient,
[21:26] TAMAE
    so he started to get ready for
    swimming in the sea yesterday.
[21:30] MARUKO
    That sounds nice.
[21:33] MARUKO
    Oh, man... The summer
    break is about to start,
[21:36] MARUKO
    but if I can't go to
    the beach or the pool,
[21:39] MARUKO
    where on earth am
    I supposed to get suntanned?
[21:43] HAMAJI
    I'm excited to find out who will get most
    suntanned at the end of the summer break.
[21:49] BUTARO
    It's got to be me, boo.
[21:51] KOSUGI
    Oh no, it'll be me.
[21:55] NARRATOR/I
    The summer break is about to begin.
[21:58] NARRATOR/I
    But by the time it is over,
[22:01] NARRATOR/I
    everyone gets too busy with homework
    and has forgotten all about suntanning.
SIGN    Next Time
[22:15] MARUKO
    Big Sis and Kosugi are acting weird.
[22:18] MARUKO
    They must be hiding something.
[22:21] MARUKO
    To find out their secrets, I've been
    tailing them and running after them,
[22:24] MARUKO
    which has tired me out!
[22:26] MARUKO
    Next time on Chibi Maruko-chan:
[22:28] MARUKO
    "Is Kosugi the Watermelon Thief?"
    and "Maruko Secretly Tails Big Sis."
SIGN    Is Kosugi the Watermelon Thief? Maruko Secretly Tails Big Sis
[22:33] MARUKO
    Look forward to it!
