Samurai
The leader of the temple isn't a monk like you'd expect. It's a samurai, who protects the monks in return for prayers that keep him safe.
You walk up to a temple and you're surprised to find that there's a samurai guarding it. Talk to him for a while so he can tell you why he has been doing this job. He's quite a nice guy, actually.

The reading is samurai, which should be easy enough to remember.
If you know the meaning you know the reading as well! That doesn't happen too often with kanji, so consider yourself lucky!
