Akemitsu accidentally interferes with Yuzuki’s matchmaking appointment. Will the pair succumb to temptation in a love hotel?
Episode 4 — “Go Ahead and Take a Shower”
Weekly Ecchi Wisdom.
足るを知るものは富む (たるをしるものはとむ, taru wo shiru mono wa tomu) literally translates to “He who knows his riches will be rich,” but is commonly translated to the English proverb, “A contented mind is a perpetual feast.” That’s the regular admonishment against materialism and acquiring things to attain happiness. This can also apply to gathering experiences or thrill-seeking. But it’s unfair to show Kiki’s plump, thicc thighs as we read “perpetual feast.” My mind will be so focused on her cake if I rest my head on her lap that I’d be content to munch on that spot forever! Talk about a perpetual feast! The summer anime season has blessed us with hearty meals of thighs here and in Atelier Ryza. Mmmhmmm, cake.
Heh.
A quick recap for TenPuru — Yuzuki needs to make the matchmaking meeting! The plan is to have a priest become her fiancé so the Crescent Moon temple can stay open. Random Star Wars scrawl to move the plot forward. That’s a switch. Our main character was the driver of Truck-kun. That tree reincarnated into another world as a vending machine… wait, I mixed up some isekai plots here. That’s a nosy nun with red eyes. She put Akemitsu to work! Kijo, the marriage candidate, looks like a polite young man. He got straight to the point: why is a high school student asking for an arranged marriage? Yuzuki’s answer only relays information about her temple. That’s a red flag. Akemitsu’s red hair in the middle of the temple gardens is another!
That guy is too much of a horndog. Akemitsu keeps imagining Yuzuki in sexy situations. Violence is not the answer to curbing desires! Huh. That nun’s actions do not appear to have the best interests of the marriage meeting in mind. Ack! Why would she ask a strange monk to take over matchmaker duties? I smell sabotage in TenPuru. Here we go again. No matter the situation, Akemitsu’s horny mind paints Yuzuki into fanservice circumstances. I’m not complaining but merely remarking! Kijo wants ten kids. Taking on the responsibility of Japan’s low birthrate on his strong shoulders! Oh, and Yuzuki’s birthing hips, I presume.
Temporary TenPuru.
Too much stimulation for Akemitsu. His absence allows Yuzuki to tell the truth about the marriage plot to save the temple. Kiki is all for stringing along Buddhist priests. I want to hear about her history and exploits with them. With pictures! Yuzuki gave Kijo the complete picture, but he also knows about her temple’s dire financial difficulties. Plus, the Aoba parents aren’t there, depriving the temple of a head priest. That’s a mystery that needs solving for the audience. Does Kijo have insider information? Ack. Akemitsu woke up and immediately injected over-the-top dramatics. Closing the temple would erase his debt, so he should be happy about that, but that wouldn’t solve his horniness problem. Uh oh. Kijo sounds like he’s running a wedding ceremony asking for vows from Akemitsu and Yuzuki. Well, happy ending, kind of, for TenPuru. Kijo will lend his name to the sham engagement.
Oho. That weird nun with red eyes is the head priest of Kijo’s temple. She wanted Kijo to convince Yuzuki to shut down the Crescent Moon Temple! There was sabotage! And her name is Aoba! Aunt? Mother? I need answers! And she knows about the Akagami debt. What is her angle?
Beyond Nirvana.
Plot continuity error. Akemitsu and Yuzuki left Kijo’s temple at sunset, but now it is dark, and they missed the last bus and train. Yeah, that’s a contrivance to place these two in a love hotel. Fine. Be that way, TenPuru. We know what to expect from Akemitsu, but what will Yuzuki do? Har! She is a dumb perv, just as Kurage pronounced her. Go ahead and take a shower, Akemitsu! That’s the episode title. Akemitsu’s conscience is no help because they’re both devils. Yuzuki belatedly realized the danger of her slatternly ways. Hah! Just as she prepared herself for a ”happy accident,” Akemitsu restrained himself. Physically! Don’t decide things on your own, Akemitsu! That’s not how a married couple should act.
The end credits repeat the lingerie version from the second episode. Next time, Kiki warns Kagura not to force things.
TenPuru streams on Crunchyroll in Japanese audio and multiple language subtitles.
