What's wrong, Yumoto?
[00:22] (Flashback) yu
Big bro...
[00:23] (Flashback) go
Were you in a fight?
[00:24] (Flashback) yu
I didn't hit them...
[00:26] (Flashback) yu
because you always tell me...
[00:27] (Flashback) yu
it's not good to hit friends...
[00:31] (Flashback) go
They hit you, but you didn't fight back?
[00:37] (Flashback) go
Good job, Yumoto.
[00:39] (Flashback) yu
Big bro!
[00:41] (Flashback) go
Listen, Yumoto. The moon is
there, even during the day.
[00:47] (Flashback) go
Morning and night, it stands
watch over you from the sky.
[00:51] (Flashback) go
And me, too.
[00:52] (Flashback) go
When you're suffering, when
you're sad, look up at the sky.
[00:56] (Flashback) go
The daytime moon and your big brother
[00:58] (Flashback) go
are always watching over you.
[01:01] (Flashback) yu
I understand, Big bro!

Reading to kindergarteners?
[02:46] yu
Yeah!
[02:47] yu
With the student council studying abroad,
[02:49] yu
the teachers asked the Defense
Club to do it instead!
[02:52] en
Huh?
[02:53] en
Our seats...
[02:55] ryu
Someone's in our usual spot.
[02:57] io
Who cares if someone else sits there?

You know the saying. Home

[03:02] en
Anyway, what's going on?
[03:03] en
Who are they?
[03:04] at
I heard we got some exchange

Very handsome, excellent grades.

They earned the title "eternal pretty boys"
[03:20] io
in the Pretty Boy Contest the other day.

And they already have a follower
clique known as the "Beppu Apes."
[03:28] en
Yeah, let's sit somewhere else.
[03:33] en
So, Yumoto. What was that about
reading to kindergarteners?
[03:36] yu
You'll do it, En-chan-senpai?!
[03:39] en
No, I don't think I could
handle reading to little kids.
[03:43] at
It sounds like a nice idea, but...
[03:45] ryu
It would be one thing if it were a
co-ed event with a girls' high school.
[03:48] io
I never volunteer my services
without compensation.
[03:52] wom
I believe that activities that spread love
[03:54] wom

Why?!

Why do you hesitate?
[03:59] kat
Why?

Why were you chosen?!

SIGN Katari Tagaru
[04:22] kat
Representative of the Binan High School
association, the Speaking Poets Society.
[04:25] kat
Because! To enjoy something is to speak
of it. In other words, to recite.
[04:30] kat
Humans are speaking mammals.
[04:31] kat
I am the world's mouthpiece!
[04:34] ryu
Yeah, he's a crazy.
[04:36] io
He called himself a representative,
[04:37] io
but he's the Speaking Poets
Society's only member.
[04:40] en
Yeah, I feel my soul crying out to
me, "Be somewhere else right now."
[04:45] at
Well, Katari-kun. See you later.
[04:47] yu
What are you guys doing?
[04:48] yu
What about reading to the kindergartners?
[04:50] kat
Nothing!
[04:52] kat
The art of recitation is beyond them!
[04:54] kat
Nonsense!
[04:55] kat
Only I can handle it!
[04:58] haru
What are you trembling for?
[05:00] haru
Are you mad?
[05:02] aki
Stop it, Haru.
[05:04] aki
I know that angry people are funny,
[05:06] aki
but if you tease them, they
might take it out on you.
[05:09] kat
You two...
[05:10] kat
You're the Beppu siblings
everyone's talking about.
[05:12] haru
Yes.
[05:13] haru
I am Haruhiko, the younger.
[05:15] aki
Akihiko, the elder.
[05:17] aki
Together, we are...
[05:18] haru
The school's...
[05:19] aki
...idols...
[05:20] both
...the Beppu Brothers!
[05:22] aki
Now, why are you...
[05:24] haru
...mad at the Defense Club?
[05:26] ka
Because!
[05:27] ka
I say "no thank you" to any
out-loud reading done by them!
[05:30] ka
Such an act requires expressiveness!
[05:32] ka
That's something only I can do!
[05:35] haru
I don't quite get it...
[05:36] aki
...but you are very funny!
[05:40] dada
He seems usable.
[05:42] dada
This is our chance to crush
the Defense Club into bit parts.
[05:45] aki
Crush them into bit parts?
[05:47] both
Nice one.
[05:49] en
Seriously, it's not happening.
[05:53] en
I'm not reciting any folktales
to kindergartners.
[05:56] ryu
Yeah, same.
[05:57] ryu
Reciting pillow talk to
high school girls, maybe.
[06:00] io
Sorry to repeat myself,
but I don't work for free.
[06:03] at
We've been through this over and over again.
[06:05] yu
But I really want to do it!
[06:08] wom
Everyone, the volunteer spirit
is the very foundation of love!
[06:11] wom
To give is, itself, love!
Why won't you do it?!
[06:15] en
'Cause it's a pain in the neck?
[06:17] at
But folktales are surprisingly
trendy, aren't they?
[06:20] at
I always used to watch that anime,
[06:22] at
"Folktales From Japan".
[06:25] en
Well, The Crane's Gift and
Momotaro and such aside,
[06:29] en
there's The Crying Red Ogre and
other obscure classics, I suppose.
[06:33] io
And the story of The Gold
Axe and the Silver Axe
[06:36] io
contains good advice for those
entering the world of investment.
[06:39] io
"When a deal sounds too good,
there's always a catch."
[06:42] ryu
I think Urashima Taro is my favorite.
[06:45] ryu
That Otohime, you know?
[06:47] ryu
I'd go a summer-long romance with her!
[06:50] yu
I always liked Jizo and the Hats!
[06:53] yu
My brother and I used to
play Jizo and the Hats!
[06:55] at
"Play"?
[06:56] yu
It's a game we'd play on snowy
days. We'd weave hats out of sedge.
SIGN Candy
SIGN Sweet Dumplings
[06:59] yu
Then I had to give them to the Jizo statues
without trading them for snacks in town.
[07:03] en
That's a game? Really?
[07:05] yu
My brother used fun games to
teach me all kinds of things.
[07:10] en
Really?
[07:11] at
Gora-san is truly an inscrutible person.
[07:13] yu
The Jizo and the Hats game...
[07:15] yu
that really takes me back...
[07:17] yu
One day when it snowed, I
was five years old, I think.
[07:21] (Flashback) go
Listen, Yumoto.
[07:23] (Flashback) go
I'm heading out for work.
[07:26] (Flashback) go
I want you to do something
nice while I'm gone.
[07:30] (Flashback) go
That's right.
[07:30] (Flashback) go
Take these hats to the Jizo
statues outside of town.
[07:35] (Flashback) go
Don't stray from the path no matter what.
[07:38] (Flashback) go
Got it?
[07:39] (Flashback) yu
Yeah, got it!
[07:40] yu
So I started for the Jizo statues,
just like my bro told me...
[07:46] yu
But I ran into a trap!
[07:48] en
A trap?
[07:49] (Flashback) man
Hey, boy.
[07:51] (Flashback) man
You've got some nice-looking hats there.
[07:53] (Flashback) yu
I'm selling steamed buns here.
[07:55] (Flashback) yu
Wanna trade?
[07:57] (Flashback) yu
They look delicious!
[07:58] (Flashback) man
Well? Want to trade?
[08:00] (Flashback) yu
Yeah!
[08:02] (Flashback) yu
Yes! Let's eat...
[08:06] (Flashback) go
Listen, Yumoto.
[08:08] (Flashback) go
Don't stray from the path no matter what.
[08:11] (Flashback) yu
No, I shouldn't.
[08:13] (Flashback) yu
I can't accept this.
[08:15] (Flashback) yu
But I'll still give you the hat.
[08:17] (Flashback) yu
I'm sorry.
[08:18] ryu
Wait, you gave him the hat?
[08:21] yu
Yeah.
[08:22] yu
But I didn't take the steamed bun.
[08:24] io
So what about the four other hats?
[08:27] yu
I gave them to the Jizo statues.
[08:30] yu
But...
[08:32] yu
There were five Jizo statues,
and I was missing one hat.
[08:35] yu
I didn't realize until then that
that's why Bro gave me five.
SIGN Oh no! I don't have enough!
[08:41] yu
So I had to take off my own scarf
and put it on the Jizo statue.
[08:45] at
Just like in the story, right?
[08:47] (Flashback) yu
I'm sorry I don't have a hat for you...
[08:54] (Flashback) go
Yumoto...
[08:55] (Flashback) go
You did a very good thing.
[08:57] (Flashback) yu
Bro...
[09:00] at
Gora-san came to watch, huh?
[09:02] yu
Yeah.
[09:03] yu
Because the snow was falling
so hard, and he got worried.
[09:07] ryu
Your brother sounds like a real worrywart.
[09:10] at
Like a parent watching over a
kid running their first errand.
[09:12] wom
Gora-san's brotherly love for
Yumoto-san is higher than the sky
[09:16] wom
and deeper than the sea!
[09:19] yu
Anyway, I want to tell
little kids those folktales
[09:22] yu
just like my brother did for me.
[09:25] gora
Yumoto...
[09:27] at
So, what should we do?
[09:28] ryu
If Yumoto wants to do it that badly...
[09:31] io
It's hard to refuse out of hand.
[09:32] io
Even if I must work for free.
[09:34] en
Are you guys seriously leaning
towards reading to the kids?
[09:41] yu
Big bro, what's wrong?
[09:42] go
Yumoto, reading to others is love!
[09:45] go
Do it right.
[09:52] yu
Yeah! Bro, I'll do my best!
[09:55] en
Yeah, we're definitely gonna end
up reading to the kids, aren't we?
[09:59] at
Looks like it.

I really think I want to do the story
of Jizo and the Hats for the kids.
[11:05] yu
What do you think?
[11:07] ryu
It doesn't really matter to me.
[11:09] io
I also have no objection, aside
from the lack of compensation.
[11:13] yu
This reminded me.
[11:15] yu
It's because my brother read
folktales to me every night
[11:18] yu
that I never felt lonely as a child.
[11:22] at
Your parents have been gone that long?
[11:25] yu
Yeah! Bro says they're busy
with their hot springs tour.
[11:31] en
That seems a bit suspect.
[11:32] at
Well, I guess everyone
has their circumstances.
[11:35] io
Does that mean Gora-san's been
your caretaker in every respect?
[11:40] yu
Yeah!
[11:41] yu
From feeding me to brushing my
teeth, my brother did it all!
[11:45] yu
My brother's lap was so warm...
[11:50] yu
What is this feeling?
[11:52] at
It tugs at the heart strings, huh?
[11:54] wom
Because Gora-san looked after him even
when he was still in high school himself!
[11:59] io
I brushed my own teeth, at least.
[12:02] io
Even as a child.
[12:03] en
Hey, didn't we forbid you from
talking about tooth-brushing?

Eat, Yumoto, along with your comrades!
[12:39] yu
Thanks, Bro!

They're delicious, Bro!

But we're reading to kids.
We're not waging war.
[12:48] go
Life is an ongoing battle to
convey one's love to others.

Got it, Bro!
[12:59] haru
Look at him!
[13:00] haru
Does he really think he's
worthy to eat those riceballs?

Jizo and the Hats is about a
poor yet kind elderly couple

who find Jizo statues on the
roadside covered in snow,
[13:25] kat
and give them the sedge hats they made to
sell for money to them, expecting no reward.
[13:29] kat
Then, later,

the Jizo statues come to return
the favor in heartwarming fashion.
