Frankenstein's Love (フランケンシュタインの恋)

Saki-san!

Where are you, Saki-san?

Saki-san! Hello!

I found her!

Is that Saki-san? Is that her?

I found her! She is over here.

Saki!

Are you certain she is your younger sister?

My sister... has been murdered?

I don't know yet.

Wake up!

- Tsugaru-san. - Hey, wake up.

She's awake. Yay!

Good morning!

- Are you alright? - Have some water.

Drink this. Good.

Are you okay?

Oops, it was liquor.

Tsugumi

Hello?

- Sis, can you help me? - What's wrong?

I thought I was drinking with university students, but they lied to me.

Tsugaru-san, are you okay?

They're not university students at all.

Idiot, why did you go with them?

Because I thought I could get some information.

Sis, they may take me somewhere by force.

Run away quickly. Listen, don't cry or scream.

Don't show any signs of agitation.

Your seizure causes damage to the vessels in your brain.

You got that? Just run toward crowds of people.

I'll be right there.

- She's running away. - Hey, wait!

Tsugumi

Found you. You shouldn't have escaped from us.

Tsugumi

What? I thought we were going to your apartment.

There is my family's villa ahead.

We can be noisy there as much as we want.

You can't go home yet, Tsugaru-san.

Someone help!

- Help! - Help! Woo!

Seriously?

It should be fine. Let's leave quickly.

If the person is alive, our lives are over.

- Stop it. - You should've paid more attention.

Step aside. Why are you blaming me for?

- Hey! - Stop her.

- We can't let you leave. - Wait! Stop right there.

- Stop! - Do you think can you run from us?

You have guts.

Who are you?

This guy... Something is not right.

Attack him!

Frankenstein's Love

Episode 1-

Tsugumi!

Sis.

Tsugumi!

- What's wrong? - Huh?

Where are we?

That's my line. Where have you been?

They forced me into the car.

I escaped to the forest.

Tsugumi, I'll go with you, so

let's go to hospital and police.

Okay, Tsugumi?

No, they haven't done anything to me.

- What? - They didn't do anything to me,

and I didn't see anything, I think...

What are you saying?

I'm fine.

Take your medicine.

Give back the paper you used. That's nasty.

You and your wife worked so hard...

Good morning.

Now you became a fine landlord.

- Is this an experiment? - I'd like to congratulate you.

What are you talking about?

That's the end of the story of a carpenter.

Katsura Miyaji

- Okay. Now measure. - Yes.

How it is?

Mine went down successfully.

After eating pancakes for breakfast,

I was able to prevent my blood sugar level from going up.

Mine went up.

Can stress affect blood sugar levels?

Do you feel stress when you watch storytelling?

That's because you chose a bad story, Professor.

A story of a carpenter? My father is kind of like a carpenter.

When I think of him, I feel stressed.

I see. But that's too obvious.

The theory that laughter can cure stresses or illnesses,

doesn't have scientific proof yet.

What I want to know is whether the fine storytelling and fine cultures,

regardless of personal issues,

can have a good effect on a human body.

For example, after watching a play of Shakespeare or Chekhov,

is it possible to wake up an untapped ability of DNA

and have a good effect on human cells.

If there is no effect,

is it safe to say the actors and the directors didn't do a good job?

Do you think our DNA can distinguish between good or bad storytelling?

Let's try with Kokontei Shincho. (a storyteller)

No. Let's take a break.

We may feel bored if we watch too many.

Boredom is the worst enemy for stress.

Or I should say, the best friend.

I guess you're right.

Professor Tsurumaru, take a look at this.

What, a mushroom?

Yes. Take a closer look.

Is this Akanari-Kamitake?

That's rare. Did someone grow this?

No. I think this is wild.

I don't think so.

Akanari-Kamitake is more of an orange color. This is red.

Have you ever seen a real Akanari-Kamitake?

I haven't since we can't find a wild one around here.

That's why I'm saying it's strange.

Did you find it around here?

I think... near here.

Eh? You don't know where you found it?

I don't.

Whether it's a needle-leaf tree or a broad-leaf tree,

there are only man-made forests around here.

Akanari-Kamitake doesn't grow other than near coniferous trees in a primeval forest.

- So? - So, what if...

If this is not the Akanari-Kamitake,

there may be a new fungus that's similar to Akanari-Kamitake,

around the forest near us.

If you can prove the mushroom is not Akanari-Kamitake,

you can say you have discovered a new mushroom.

Precisely.

Great job from a fungus girl, Fun-Girl.

Don't call me that. That's bullying if we are elementary students.

Where are you going to look for?

That's the problem.

I don't know

- where I found it. - What?

Looking for a mushroom in a forest, is like catching clouds.

Those prep school students were found laying on the ground

and they were in a daze.

Hey, turn on the TV. Hurry.

There were abnormalities on their skin.

We believe the allergic reaction was caused by

contacting some sort of fungus in the mountain.

What's the matter?

Tsugaru-san, what's wrong? Are you sick or something?

I'm fine.

Those prep-school students on TV, are they your friends?

They are not.

- If you're concerned, I can help you. - Help what?

- To look for the mushroom. - No, thanks.

I can help you. It's hard to go to the mountain without a car.

I'm used to climbing a mountain.

But you don't know which mountain to look for.

I do, somewhat.

How did you find out?

I'm fine. I prefer to go alone so please let me.

Good for you, Fun-Girl.

Don't call me that.

You know, don't be so stubborn.

You can always rely on me.

I hate a person who doesn't try their best.

But I can't turn a blind eye to a person who is overdoing it.

- Senior Inaniwa. - Yes?

Just because I don't rely on you, it doesn't mean that I'm overdoing it.

So you know. Please excuse me.

I think you're overdoing it.

Who's there?

Who are you?

Huh?

Why are you here?

Why?

You're alive.

You didn't die.

- 120 years ago... - Excuse me.

I won't do anything to hurt you.

I'm just staying here.

I'm... not a human.

Please forget our encounter here.

Ugh, aw! It hurts.

It hurts.

Why are you following me?

I'm a scientist.

Well, I'm still a student

who is learning.

So... I can't simply believe your words,

nor ignore your existence,

because you're standing right front of my eyes.

You have no idea who am I?

I don't.

So... I want to know more about you.

I want to know everything about you.

I don't want to die with regret for not knowing.

How envious.

What?

Please don't follow me any further.
