Chinnen's gaze is all over the place. 17:45.043 --> 17:46.836 But it should still be okay, right? 17:46.920 --> 17:47.879 It's not okay. 17:47.962 --> 17:50.507 The audience will be relying on Chinnen's gaze 17:50.590 --> 17:54.094 to picture the doctor's height, and the distance between them. 17:54.177 --> 17:55.678 This is no good at all. 17:56.346 --> 17:59.140 It all looks so different when you're being watched! 17:59.224 --> 18:01.893 - One more time! Just one last time! - Sure thing. 18:08.149 --> 18:13.488 If I were Akane, I probably would've ended up hating Rakugo. 18:15.490 --> 18:20.078 That uproar over Akane's dad getting expelled made the news, as well. 18:20.161 --> 18:23.289 And there was a whole barrage of criticism aimed at that old geezer. 18:24.749 --> 18:29.254 Meanwhile, Issho Arakawa's Rakugo started getting tons of attention. 18:33.383 --> 18:36.136 Ethics are no match for emotion. 18:36.219 --> 18:38.263 That criticism morphed into approval and acclaim, 18:38.346 --> 18:41.558 and some even lauded the expulsion uproar as legendary. 18:41.641 --> 18:43.268 That even pissed me off. 18:43.852 --> 18:47.230 Even still, Akane chose to become a Rakugoka. 18:47.313 --> 18:50.358 She wasn't being myopic at all. 18:50.441 --> 18:51.568 Hey, I know! 18:52.235 --> 18:54.112 Why don't I give him some false information? 18:54.195 --> 18:55.572 Yeah, I will! 18:56.656 --> 18:58.783 Master!

Tenshiki! 19:26.895 --> 19:28.396 Oh, now I see. 19:28.479 --> 19:31.900 Now look here, Chinnen, I'm sure that I once taught you that word. 19:31.983 --> 19:35.236 Every day, I stand in front of the classroom, so I understand. 19:36.112 --> 19:37.572 How nervous you feel speaking in front of others. 19:38.573 --> 19:40.783 How hard it is to convey something to others. 19:40.867 --> 19:42.619 Doctor, thanks to your medicine, I feel much better now! 19:42.702 --> 19:45.580 Ah, is that right? I'm very glad to hear that. 19:45.663 --> 19:48.541 With only her voice and body, and only through speech... 19:49.292 --> 19:52.253 I'm embarrassed to say this, but I happen to love tenshiki, you see. 19:52.337 --> 19:55.298 Y-You love it? Tenshiki? 19:55.965 --> 19:57.467 Making her audience laugh. 19:58.384 --> 20:00.970 It's not an art that can be mastered overnight. 20:01.054 --> 20:06.434 Today, I'd like to show you some of this temple's cherished tenshiki. 20:06.517 --> 20:08.478 Uh, no!
