Aibou TV Season 5 Episode 2 - Sweet Home(スウィートホーム)

Subtitle:  Sweet Home(スウィートホーム)


 Sergeant Kaoru, who recently got married, buys a house. The house is pretty big for the price he paid, but it is rumored to be haunted. Sergeant Kaoru and Miwako experience a few "hauntings" themselves. Is the place really haunted, or is there something else going on?

We get to hear a catchy but slightly cruel short tune by the Trio the Sōichi(トリオ・ザ・捜一).

Sergeant Itami: Yūrei yashiki katchatta(幽霊屋敷買っちゃった) - I've bought haunted house.

Sergeant Itami: Minohodoshirazu ni bachi ataru(身の程知らずに罰当たる) - Someone who bit off more than he could chew gets punished by divine retribution.

Lieutenant Miura: Shinkon sōsō tatarareta(新婚早々祟られた) - I was cursed shortly after getting married.

Sergeant Kaoru gets mad after hearing this song. Constable Serizawa laughs, earning him a thwapping on the head from Sergeant Kaoru.

Constable Serizawa: Tatakareru(叩かれる): I was hit (on the head).
