01x08 - A New Grandpa and Grandma Appear

[bunniefuu]

Strange Did I drop it somewhere?

Um, I found this under the table earlier.

That's my library card!

Thanks. I was looking for it.

THE MYSTERY BEHIND THE LEGEND

OF TURNING YOUNG AGAIN!

Wow, so you want to go

to the faculty of medicine?

I'm Satoshi Takahashi,

a sophomore in that faculty.

Nice to meet you.

Faculty of medicine

So he's a senior there

Studying for the entrance exam?

Yeah. That book

Oh, this?

You know the legend of

turning young again?

Turning young?

There has long been a folklore around

that old people are turning young again.

And that happens once

every a few hundred years

That's been my subject of research now.

There might actually be someone

nearby turning young again.

Oh

So you're applying

because your dad's a doctor?

That's half the reason

My grandparents, you see

No matter how much they suffer,

they always pray for

the well-being of their family.

I've been saved by so many

people like them

So I thought it'd be my turn

to return the favour.

That's all.

Have you told them directly?

No way.

I'd be embarrassed to death.

Now that's a waste.

I bet they'd be moved

to tears if you did.

SOB SOB

Shiori!

Huh? What's happening?

What's up with you two?

A STORY ABOUT A GRANDPA AND GRANDMA

WHO RETURNED BACK TO THEIR YOUTH

A NEW GRANDPA AND GRANDMA HAVE APPEARED

A NEW GRANDPA AND GRANDMA HAVE APPEARED

A New Grandpa and Grandma Have Appeared.

Mino's been acting strange these days

Strange?

I mean, she's been going

home late a lot recently

And she'd just change the subject

every time I asked

She's just at that age already.

No!

She must be hiding something.

Must be that.

Yeah.

She might actually be

joining a weird cult

Or maybe she's dating

a bad guy behind me

EWW, DAD - DON'T TOUCH ME

Eww, Dad. Don't touch me.

Nooo!!

That pure Mino will never return!

What a pain.

Mino will always be herself.

You two know it better, right!

The horror of your own children

being tainted by the filthy adults!

Unlike in the past,

young people these days are exposed

to more information on the net!

I bet Mino's using her sub

to dive into the dark side of society!

What's a sub?

Must mean she's submerging her feet.

Ugh, the rotary phone people

Now, now.

Calm down, will ya?

Mino's generation is a quiet one.

She'll do just fine.

Anyway, Yoshiaki.

Ya keep blabberin' about

yer kid bein' bad

But let me tell ya this as yer mom.

Ya used to be even naughtier back then.

HUH? - YA PICKIN' A FIGHT?

Huh?

HUH? - YA PICKIN' A FIGHT?

Ya pickin' a fight?

I'm sorry.

ARGUMENT REFUTED

THE ONE WHO FIXED ME AFTER A FIGHT IS NOW MY WIFE

The one who fixed me after a fight is now my wife.

THE ONE WHO FIXED ME AFTER A FIGHT IS NOW MY WIFE

Hello.

Sorry, but I have a question

What is it?

About the usual old couple

We haven't seen them recently.

GEH!

Geh!

BADUMP BADUMP

Since we were in primary school,

BADUMP BADUMP

we've always been seeing them,

BADUMP BADUMP

so we're wondering if something happened

Err They, uh

They got sick, so they're restin'!

PANIC

Yeah! We're takin' care of the field

PANIC

as their relatives!

Is that so

Sorry for bothering you

when you're busy.

Careful on yer way home.

I thought they wouldn't believe us,

so we had to lie

TEARS

What good kids!

Grandpa, let's reassure them.

All right

A FEW DAYS LATER

Judging from the uncle's reaction,

they must be really sick

So they're already

Hey!

Boys!

It's been a while.

HAPPY

Hello!

THERE'S SOMETHING TO GAIN AS ONE GROWS OLD

There's something to gain

THERE'S SOMETHING TO GAIN AS ONE GROWS OLD

as one grows old.

THERE'S SOMETHING TO GAIN AS ONE GROWS OLD

I'm off!

Careful on the way.

I guess

I went overboard with her lunch today.

HIROSAKI

Oh, sh**t.

Mino, what's up?

I forgot my lunch

Just buy something at the cafeteria stall.

I was having Grandma's lunch

Can only have a few every month

It takes an hour to reach

Mino's school by train.

Grandpa's usin' the truck in the field.

It's impossible to go

after Mino with that.

That means

I can only have her lunch

a few times when I'm staying.

Sorry, Grandma

Hey, look!

What the heck?

You're kidding me!

Mino, behind you!

Behind?

Hey, Mino!

Get off at the next station!

Ya forgot yer lunch!

MY GRANDMA GOT SO POPULAR

MY GRANDMA GOT SO POPULAR

My grandma got so popular.

So you can use this formula here.

See?

Easy, eh?

I went back to how I spoke

in my hometown.

I was raised in my grandma's house,

so it happens sometimes.

No, that's fine

Stop being so conscious about it, idiot.

Shiori, do you have a crush?

No way.

Maybe a calm guy like Grandpa?

Grandpa?

Eh?

No way! Not happening!

Huh? Then what's your type?

What's wrong?

No

By the way, why are you researching

that topic in particular?

Well, I have my reasons.

I guess I can tell you.

There's no one around either.

I wish you could ignore it as a joke

But actually

My grandparents

They're turning young again

There was a golden apple growing

in the garden that day.

Looked like one of them sweets,

so we ate it.

Then the next day

HAJIME TAKAHASHI - SETSU TAKAHASHI

We became like this.

Is she your girlfriend?

She must be!

She's just a friend.

I asked him to let me see you two.

You don't seem so surprised.

I thought you'd be more in shock.

No, I am surprised

How are you doing after?

Nothing out of the ordinary so far.

Don't worry about us.

Just worry about yer study.

Oh, come on, Grandpa.

I want to do this, anyway.

Since my parents divorced,

you two are like my parents now.

At least let me return the favour.

- Besides, you've been caring for me

- This guy

- a lot until now, right?

- He's researching that topic

- He's researching that topic

- for his precious ones

- It'd be nice to have someone

- for his precious ones

- to ask for advice

- The same reason as my picking medicine

- The same reason as my picking medicine

as a major.

There's no one else

to ask for advice.

Every doctor around

can't figure it out either.

Sorry about this.

Even though we just met,

ya had to hear this

Well, it's hard to believe, right?

I believe you.

Shiori?

There's someone

I want to introduce to you.

HAJIME TAKAHASHI

USED TO BE A POLICE OFFICER

Hajime Takahashi.

USED TO BE A POLICE OFFICER

Used to be a police officer.

USED TO BE A POLICE OFFICER

What?!

Yer kiddin'!

The ones turning young again

aren't only us!

I didn't think there was a family

in the same situation as ours.

Thank you for coming all

the way from East Town.

Mrs. Ine, ya have beautiful skin!

What lotion ya use?

Umanoabura? Aloe?

I just wash my face with water, Mrs. Setsu.

Mr. Saito, ya have a nice wife.

Mine ain't that cute at all.

Whatcha sayin'?

She's a pretty one, I tell ya.

My.

So Shiori's ready

to get hitched now, eh?

Time for a celebration.

They're breaking the ice way too fast

It's fine.

They seem to get along well.

They're in the same boat.

They must have no one

to consult with.

I bet they have a lot to vent off.

I guess

We're also going to be old married

people just like them, huh

Well, someday

"We"?

Huh?

Sorry, it's nothing.

That's not what I mean!

It was just a metaphor

Shiori, what's wrong?

Yer all red.

When I used to work

as a live-in innkeeper

I was surrounded with drunk guys.

Telling me to dance,

pour some drinks

They did what they wanted to me.

And then

I was saved

by the man in the next room,

and we started dating since!

Good for ya.

Ain't no guy in this world

that can beat my husband.

My husband too

He gave his life for me.

Though, I admit

that Mr. Hajime's a nice guy.

But no way my husband's

number two in this world.

Hajime's pretty smart and considerate!

He's usually a taciturn man,

but deep inside,

he's always thinking about me!

Grandpa's way beyond considerate!

He always helps out with my work!

He's always thinking about me 24/7!

Mrs. Ine, wanna see

whose husband's the best?

Fine by me!

With that being said

Let's go for a three-round battle!

Don't ya lose!

Grandma, no need to get so worked up.

It's just a friendly game,

so even if we lose

RUMBLE

Matsunosuke! Can you come here?!

I came here as told

What is this?

Mr. Matsunosuke!

Please be our referee!

Oh, it's already startin'

First game out of three,

tug of w*r for beloved wife!

If you get to where your wife

stands first, that's the finish line.

Dear!

Grandpa!

Just a bit more left!

You're a capable man, aren't you?!

All my memories with Setsu

for half a century

are flashing before me!

If I lose here,

I can't call myself a man!

Grandpa! If you win,

I'll cook your favourite dish!

He's reaching to me so desperately

Poor thing

Just a little more!

Unlike during the sports festival,

he's fighting for my sake

Just for me!

I knew you'd win!

Grandma

Look.

Huh?

Mrs. Ine's out of bounds.

The Saitos are out.

Huh?!

Yeah!

ROUND ONE WINNER

TAKAHASHI COUPLE

Shellfish miso.

A local dish of scallop shells

filled with eggs and miso.

The second game is a food guessing game.

Guess which dish is your wife's

from the two plates.

I can't tell the difference!

Grandpa, you should know already, right?

Believe in your tongue!

The flavour, the texture,

everything is exactly the same

Did they use the same seasoning?

Both of them taste like Setsu's cooking

What's the meaning of this?!

Notice it already, Dear!

They both taste the same

Wait, he didn't mention

I can only choose one

It's both!

Both are Grandma's cooking!

Nice!

Yeah, he didn't say

I had to pick one

What about this one, Grandpa?

It's Grandma's.

Here comes the aeroplane.

What about this one?

This one is not.

It's Mrs. Setsu's.

Dear, we're doin' that too!

No, that'd be too embarrassing

An idiot couple.

ROUND TWO WINNER

SAITO COUPLE

GRANDMA WON'T LET ME FEED HER

Grandma won't let me

GRANDMA WON'T LET ME FEED HER

feed her.

GRANDMA WON'T LET ME FEED HER

All right, time for round three!

What's the challenge now?

We've done physical

and taste battles

Now, time for a battle of intelligence!

Go.

Battle of eye for antiques.

Photo guessing game.

Card game.

Shogi!

Arithmetic.

BAD AT ARITHMETIC

Now, ladies.

Can I ask one thing?

What?

What are we fighting for here?

So the winning husband

is the better husband?

That's what's bugging me.

No, we

We just wanted to show

how great our husbands are

Hey!

Mrs. Setsu! Ya love Mr. Hajime!

Mrs. Ine! Ya love Mr. Shozo!

Let's leave it at that!

There can be no winners among those

who compare their love!

I also have a wife,

but I don't care being

the worst man in the world.

If my dearest love is happy, so be it.

Ya can't call it love without considering

yer partner's feelings!

Hey.

Let go, Shozo! Don't stop me!

Well, I didn't mean it like that

I fell for you again, Dear!

NO WINNER

NO WINNER

Say that one more time, Dear.

NO WINNER

No.

NO WINNER

We completely lost.

THE FEAST CONTINUED UNTIL MIDNIGH

Grandma, teach me how to cook.

Hm?

Eggplant rolled with shiso.

Nope.

Royal fern dressing.

Nope.

- Dried herring

- Nope!

Don't teach me food for old hags!

STAB

So, ya picked karaage in the end, huh?

Why the sudden request?

I study all day at the library on weekends.

I thought I'd make me lunch.

Huh? I thought you hated fried food?

Said ya didn't like the grease.

UGH

It's all in the past now.

I see.

By the way, I just don't want

those things in my lunchbox.

It's not like I hate your cooking.

Teach me how to cook those too.

I guess I can't see her become like that.

What's wrong?

Nothing.

Shiori, this karaage is good.

Did you cook it yourself?

No, it's just a leftover.
