Episode 5 -  Money! Money! Money!
  kane kasege / saa KANE kasege / kane kasege
  kane kasege / sâ KANE kasege / kane kasege
  [Earn money, come on, earn money, earn money]
First aired - 29th April 1997

We need money!Sasami is having a frustrating job trying to get the other members of the household to contribute some money for the upkeep of the place — Ryoko and Ayeka don't have jobs, and Mihoshi and Kiyone have already spent their month's salary. To save money, Sasami decides to cut the food budget by making everyone skip lunch. This isn't met with a great deal of support from everyone else, so the girls decide they have to make money somehow, and Mihoshi, Kiyone, Ryoko and Ayeka leave for Tokyo to get jobs. Since they're still banned from using the inter-dimensional tunnel, they use the last of their cash to buy train tickets to Tokyo.

MatoriIn her castle of crystal, Yugi is plotting. She sends her servant, Matori, down into Tokyo to build her a castle at the edge of the bay.

The girls arrive in Tokyo and set out to find part-time jobs. Before long, Ryoko has found work in a pizzeria, although she is hardly the most dedicated employee, preferring sleeping to answering the 'phone. Sasami and Ryo-Ohki - the perfect double-act!Ayeka's waitressing job is far from successful too; her opinionated manner and short temper is driving customers away. Mihoshi and Kiyone's jobs in the kitchens of a drive-in restaurant are a complete disaster too, as they manage to destroy the whole kitchen!

Meanwhile, back in Okayama, Sasami grows increasingly exasperated at the financial dire straits as she mends her broken broom with tape for the 'n'th time. However, Ryo-ohki has a moneymaking idea of her own — performing tricks with Sasami for passers-by! They are soon raking in the cash!

Elsewhere in Tokyo, Tenchi and Sakuya are out enjoying the sights. They drop into a café, not realizing it is the same café where Ayeka works. Ayeka soon spots them and chases them out of the building. Naturally, her boss has had enough, and fires her. As Sakuya and Tenchi are running away, Ryoko passes them on her pizza delivery bike, and she is so angry at seeing Tenchi with Sakuya again that she stops watching where she is going, and crashes the bike into the river!

Daidarahoshi springs to lifeJobless and impoverished, the girls' fortunes are floundering. However, they spot a job on a construction site that will pay one million yen just for pasting up paper walls. It's an easy enough job, but Mihoshi still manages to put her head through the wall! However, they don't realise that Yugi's servant Matori is the site foreman, and they are being made to build the shell of a huge demonic construction worker, Daidarahoshi. The demon complete, Matori brings it to life and it lumbers into the bay and begins building a massive castle for Yugi. The girls, angry at not getting paid their million yen, chase the construction worker and try to destroy it. Mihoshi and Kiyone's shooting does nothing, but Kiyone spots a weak point; the hole Mihoshi ripped in the wall, and they shoot at that. The worker collapses into the bay, taking the nearly-built castle with it.

Broke, exhausted and bedraggled, the girls hitchhike back to Okayama, only to find that Sasami and Ryo-ohki have earned more than enough money for all of them!
