"Naisho no mizuame" (Scene where Osho and Ikkyu talk)

Ikkyu lived in a temple.

Ikkyu-san is very smart.

I am still a child, but I work at this temple.

One night, Ikkyu went to the bathroom.

Osho's room is still bright.

Ikkyu-san: (Wait? What are you doing at this time, Osho-san?)

Ikkyu opened the door of Osho's room.

Then the priest was eating something in the box.

Ikkyu: (That is sweet and delicious starch syrup.)

Osho: "Oh! Ikkyu, are you still awake?"

Ikkyu-san: "Yes, I went to the bathroom. Osho-san, what is that?"

Osho: "This is medicine."

Ikkyu: "Medicine? Then, can I take it too?"

Osho: "This is medicine for adults, so children shouldn't take it. It's really dangerous."

Ikkyu-san: "I see. Understood."

Next day

The priest gathered Ikkyu and the other boys and said,

Osho: "I have something to do, so I'm going out. Ikkyu, don't take that medicine. It's dangerous. Don't forget it."

Ikkyu: "Yes, I understand."

Then the monk went out.

Ikkyu: "Everyone, let's go to Osho's room. There's something delicious."
