Card Captor Sakura TV Episode 17 air date - 08/11/98 Episode translations by Rabi 'Leave It To Kero' translations by Rabi 07/26/99, version 1.0 * Translator's note: I prefer "Kerberos" instead of "Cerberus" even though the latter is the "official" CLAMP English name for "keruberosu" even though the former makes more sense as the contraction for "Kero." As for the "official" title for Cerberus/Kerberos, it's "Containment Beast." But I'll just keep using "Beast of the Seal" for consistency.

It'll just make me feel hotter. I wanna go to the ocean too!! Yukito Sakura isn't home, is she? Touya Seaside school. Yukito Maybe something fell off her desk. So, Sakura's at the ocean now... Title Sakura and the Scary Courage Test Chiharu Sakura! Let's play beach volleyball! Sakura I'll be right there! Naoko As I thought, Sakura is good at swimming. Tomoyo And she was really looking forward to this seaside school. Chiharu She was saying, 'The sea, the sea, the sea, the sea!' too! Sakura The sea, the sea, the sea, the sea! Sorry for the wait! Okay, let's play! Chiharu Sorry! Sakura It's okay. It's okay. Yamazaki You know, about beach volleyball... It started on the beaches of Hawaii a long time ago with coconuts. Sakura With coconuts? Yamazaki And you know, coconuts are hard and heavy, right? Sakura Yeah, hard and heavy. Yamazaki I heard that beach volleyball caused numerous injuries. Chiharu It's a lie. A lie. Sakura Is it a lie? Chiharu The things Yamazaki says that starts with 'You know, about...' is generally a lie. Tomoyo It seems that Li is good at swimming too. Sakura Really. Tomoyo He has been swimming about for a while. Could it be that he is doing distance swimming? Yamazaki You know, about distance swimming... Chiharu Okay, okay... Terada Assemble! Yamazaki Long time ago in the Edo era, there was this samurai... Chiharu Okay, okay... Sakura Chiharu is used to that. Tomoyo She has been together with Yamazaki since they were in kindergarten. Naoko Those two have been together a long time. Tomoyo It must be wonderful to be together with someone for a long time. Sakura It must be. Yamazaki And there, holding up the honor of their house, the two samurai... Chiharu Okay, okay... Terada Ready? Pull it with all you have! Class Okay! Tomoyo I never thought we would be pulling a fish net like this. Chiharu Really. Really. Tomoyo Right, Sakura? You seem all set to go. Sakura Yeah! Tomoyo It is too bad that I could not bring a video camera. Terada Ready, go! Keep it up! Keep it up! Do your best! Pull steadily! All right, just a bit more! That's a good catch. Naoko Sakura, you're good at it. Chiharu I always do it at home, that's why. Girls Really. Really! Really! Tomoyo He is good. Naoko That's so amazing. Tomoyo You must not lose, Sakura. Sakura That's not the point... It was fun catching fish and cooking today. Girls Yeah! Sakura What are we doing tomorrow? Tomoyo I think it is kimodameshi. (Translated as 'courage test' in the episode title.) Sakura Oh yeah. Tomoyo In that cave. Sakura The cave that we can see from the beach? Tomoyo Yes. Naoko Now that you mention the cave... Do you know this story? All of you... Rika Naoko's putting quite a bit of tension into this one. Chiharu Yeah. Naoko You know, a long time ago, a group of elementary school students of our age... ...came here for a seaside school. The first day, they swam in the sea and caught fish at the beach, and it was like a very fun seaside school... But, the next night, they played a kimodameshi. Tomoyo Oh my... They had the same schedule as we do. Naoko It seems that they played it in the middle of the cave. In the middle of the cave was a small pond with a bridge over it... That bridge led to a shrine in the middle of the pond. For the kimodameshi, the students were to group in pairs, go to the shrine and leave a candle there. One of the groups went, and no matter how long the others waited, they never returned. The teachers and other students got worried, so they went to look, and there they found... Terada What's wrong? Kinomoto, did something happen? Sakura Mr. Terada... Tomoyo The door opened suddenly, so we were taken by surprise. Terada Oh... Sorry, sorry. Sorry for surprising you, but lights-out time has passed. Hurry and go to sleep. Girls Okay! Sakura I can't sleep... I can't fall asleep when I'm scared. I will tell the teachers I am scared and ask to stay with them. Maybe they'll laugh at me... I don't care even if they laugh. It's better than being scared. Li What are you doing at a place like this? Sakura You surprised me. Li You surprised me too. Sakura You went over to that cave during the day, didn't you? Li I sensed something strange. From within that cave. Sakura A Clow Card? Li No. Sakura Then, could it be a g...gh...gho... Li Are you trying to say 'ghost'? I can't tell what it is yet, but even just now, I sensed something strange from the cave. I think I just saw something... Sakura Stop it!! Let's talk about something else. Okay? Okay? Li You're the one who asked. Sakura Li, you came from Hong Kong, didn't you? Li Yeah. Sakura With your whole family? Li No. Sakura Just by yourself? Li I came with Wei. Sakura Wei? Li He's been taking care of me since I was little. Sakura He must be a nice person. Li How do you know such a thing? Sakura You seem somewhat happy. Li I'm going to sleep. Sakura Wait! Li! Tomoyo If you could not fall asleep, you should have woken me up. Sakura I would feel bad. And anyway, I talked to Li. He walked me back to the bungalow. Tomoyo Is there something wrong? Sakura No, it's nothing. Teacher Thanks for the wait. The much anticipated kimodameshi is about to start. Class Yay! Teacher Deep inside here is a small pond. After you cross the bridge at the pond, you will see a shrine. You will then leave your candle there. Is that clear? Class Yeah! Sakura It's the same as Naoko's story. Tomoyo It's quite a common story. Sakura Naoko seems to be having fun. Teacher Within your group, make smaller groups of two or three. Inside the cave is a one-way path, which leads all the way to the shrine. There is no need to worry about getting lost. After you leave your candle, you come back here at once. Class Okay! Teacher Okay. Let's start! The first group. Group Yes. Teacher Okay, next. Group Yes. Teacher Okay, next. Group Yes. Sakura It's our turn soon! Tomoyo It will be okay. I bet a teacher is inside to scare us. Naoko The scarier the better! Yamazaki Somehow, Kinomoto seems pretty pale. Li Are you scared? Yamazaki Are you going to be okay? Naoko I'm so excited. Rika Look at Naoko. Sakura Next. Next. Next. We're next! Tomoyo It will be fine. It will be okay. Teacher Okay, next group. Yamazaki I wonder if Kinomoto will be all right. Tomoyo It is Mr. Terada. See? Terada Kinomoto is easy to scare. Okay. Be careful. Tomoyo Yes! But this is strange, don't you think? There was only Mr. Terada, and after that, no other teachers were here to scare us. Sakura That's right. Tomoyo Besides, I wonder why we did not see anyone going back. There is only one path in the cave. It is strange that we have not met a single person returning after leaving their candle. Sakura It's the same as Naoko's story! Tomoyo! Voice Naoko! Naoko! Sakura That is Chiharu's voice. Sakura Maybe something happened?! Tomoyo Let us find out! Tomoyo What happened? Chiharu Naoko disappeared! Sakura What do you mean by disappeared?! Chiharu I don't know, but she disappeared! Right in front of my eyes. Right, Rika? Sakura Rika! Chiharu It's the same! Naoko disappeared just like that! Sakura Chiharu... Tomoyo She disappeared. Sakura After all, it is the same as Naoko's story! Tomoyo Let us go back and tell the teachers. Li What's wrong? Sakura Li! Tomoyo and everybody!! Li They disappeared? Yamazaki was with me, and he disappeared too. Sakura Is it a ghost? A ghost erased Tomoyo and the others? Li That's not it. Calm down and sense it yourself. Sakura It's a Clow Card! Li Over there? Sakura Yeah. Li The problem is how do we get close to it. Sakura Can't we use Fly ? Li It's better to get close as quietly as we can. So that the card doesn't notice us. Sakura Let me try. Envelop me and take me to that land. Float ! Li Because we don't know our opponent's identity, we must find its true form. I can't find its exact location with my compass. It worked. Sakura Li! You're disappearing too! Li Calm down! The card is acting, so you should be able to find its location. Concentrate! Is it okay for everyone to disappear like this? Sakura No! Over there! Li Now! Sakura Return to thy form which thou should be! Clow Card! Li It's the card, Erase . So that's why it made everyone disappear. Sakura Here. This is yours. If you're not around, I'd just be crying and wouldn't be able to do anything. Li That is yours. Sakura Li... Li Bring out Float . Sakura Yes! Naoko I looked forward to the kimodameshi so much, but I couldn't remember a thing. Rika Me neither. Tomoyo I do not either. Chiharu Me neither. Yamazaki I don't remember a single thing either. Tomoyo After all, was it a Clow Card? Sakura Yeah. Why doesn't anyone remember anything, Li? Li Erase also wiped away their memory. Sakura I see. Thank you for yesterday. Li It doesn't mean that I approve of you. Chiharu Sakura! Li! Do you want to play beach volleyball? Sakura Yes! Yamazaki You know, there is a history to beach volleyball. In ancient Egypt, there is a saying that... ...if a person plays till the end without dropping the ball, love will come true. Chiharu More lies again. Tomoyo Those two are just like each other. ===== Ending song ===== ===== Leave It To Kero ===== Leave It To Kero! Kero Hellooo! Kero Is everyone eating dinner?
