Mieruko-chan (2021) s01e01 Episode Script

Can You See Them?

1
Why?
DEFROS
Gosh, that's so scary, so terrifying.
That's so foul!
Hitoe, what will you do if that scary
experience happened to you?
I don't know.
Is it better to pretend
you don't see them?
Or chant the prayers?
Oh, that one! People say that a lot.
Or pouring salt,
or prayer beads or exorcists item?
I GOT MEME-CHAN!
GREAT!
Man, the bath is clogged.
Huh? Why?
Because of your hair, maybe?
No way.
By the way, there's a horror show on.
Seriously? I want to see it.
Wait, where's Mom?
She'll be late, it seems.
I see.
Hey, it's Junji Rousoku!
Miko, don't you like Junji Rousoku?
-Not at all.
-You say it like that.
Just don't try to seek my underwear.
YOTSUYA
ALARM
SNOOZE, STOP
Come on, what are you doing?
There's nothing over there!
Hey! Wait, stop!
Look, we need to go!
There's a meal back home.
Hey!
Miko, you'll be late!
Yes.
Miko, did you bring an umbrella?
Nah, it'll be okay.
The TV said it might rain today.
If it does, I'll just buy at the store.
I'll be leaving.
Have a safe trip!
Huh?
It's Mathematics for the first period!
Ugh, there will be a short test too!
Such a bummer.
Morning!
Morning, Hana.
How did you know it was me?
The force.
That said, aren't you a downer?
It's still morning.
Meme-chan! Did you buy it?
Yes, at the VilleVan.
What? That's nice!
I want it too!
There's your favorite rabbit too.
LamRabbit! It's Lambda Rabbit!
Yes, you look like it.
LamRabbit goods are often exclusive,
so they get sold out fast.
And yet, your room is filled
with its dolls.
How did you know?
You're in the way.
Ah, sorry.
You see…
Nothing.
Who is she?
From the next door class?
Anyway,
the important thing here is
how the main character thought of
why he was turning into a tiger.
To be honest, it's unclear, right?
Let's see.
What will you think if it's you?
What if, by turning into a tiger,
you start to forget your humanity?
Yotsuya!
Yes?
Could you read for me from page 57?
Yes.
Let's see.
When the party arrived
at the top of the hill,
just as told, they turned back
and looked into the bushes
between the trees.
After a while, they saw a tiger coming
out of the bush into the road.
The tiger then…
I'm famished!
You already ate your bread though?
That's like an appetizer.
Such an endless appetite.
I just have a good appetite.
I get hungry fast.
Is that even okay?
Lately, I am so hungry when I wake up.
I look at the clock.
Surprisingly,
it's three in the morning! Three o'clock!
What's so surprising?
After all, when I look at the fridge,
there's only leftover food.
There is fried chicken, gyoza,
and hamburger steak, you know?
That's enough though.
Also, the clock has stopped.
I see.
Lately, it stops a lot.
I wonder
if it's hungry for electricity too.
The fluorescent lamp also turns off a lot.
Don't tell me the whole house is hungry?
That's impossible.
Hana?
Come on! You just ate mine, right?
Eh? What do you--
-Stop it, Miko!
-Sheesh.
Hey, want to buy underwear next time?
-Sure.
-Yay!
You know, lately my bra is getting tight.
Over information.
All right! I'll save some money.
Green at the right time!
Well, see you tomorrow.
Yes.
Bye!
Hustle!
Huh?
I lost it?
It must have been around here somewhere.
Just a bit more.
ANXIETY
What a terrible day.
I should have brought an umbrella.
I'm drenched.
My skirt is all wet.
The next bus is in…
I hope my smartphone is fine.
A MESSAGE FROM HANA
IT'S RAINING. ARE YOU OKAY?
I dropped something and got drenched.
The same picture?
Why?
Sorry, I can't really hear you.
What?
Sorry, I can't really hear you.
Sorry, I can't really hear you.
Sorry, I can't…
AWWW… SHOULD I BRING YOU AN UMBRELLA?
Maybe I'm just tired today.
Can you see me?
Hey, can you see me?
Man, the bus is late.
How much longer?
Hey. Can you see me?
I haven't replied yet.
She can't. She didn't see me.
She can't.
That was scary!
What the hell was that?
I saw it clearly!
Super clear!
MIKO, SORRY, I'LL BE LATE! KYOUSUKE
IS SLEEPING OVER AT A FRIEND'S HOUSE!
FROM: MOM
Today is pretty terrible.
Might dream about it.
Kyousuke's?
This morning it was there too.
This time I'll tell him.
Let's go straight to bed today.
Can you see? Hey, can you?
Ah, it hurts.
My eyes hurt.
Maybe something got in.
Shit!
I definitely shouldn't react.
I can endure this.
That one just now must be something.
Yes, I'm sure.
It'll be okay.
In horror movies, the next time we look,
they disappear anyway.
See?
It's there.
Can you see?
Ah, my eyes still hurt.
-Can you see me? Hey.
-It won't easily disappear too.
I believe it's here.
COARSE SALT, ONE KILOGRAM
All right.
Purifying salt mound is done.
Even if I see anything terrible,
if I just ignore it, it'll just disappear.
The one in the washroom has been there
for 20 minutes now though.
EXORCISM
EXORCISM GOODS
"Prayer beads."
Prayer beads, huh?
Ah, well. Let's just sleep.
Mama.
Mama.
-The salt did nothing.
-Mama.
-Mama.
-Let's buy prayer beads.
All right.
-Good morning.
-Good morning!
Yesterday's rain was so heavy!
Why did I only see them yesterday?
Exhaustion? Air pressure?
With this, just as--
Good morning!
Let's give our best today!
By the way, Miko…
What are you doing there?
Don't startle me like that.
You were that startled?
You didn't know it was me?
Well, I did.
Miko?
What's wrong?
Nothing.
Yeah, I knew it. I'm not seeing anything.
Hey, this is the third floor, right?
Of course. Did you hit your head just now?
No, I'm okay.
Maybe I was just seeing things.
Good morning.
Hey.
Teacher…
Good morning.
I knew it.
Miko?
I see them super clearly.
Man, you saw them, eh?
Terrible, just terrible.
The more you think you don't want to,
it just BAM!
Into your vision.
Next episode, "I Can See Super Clearly."
No, you don't want to see, right?
Even if you feel that way,
please come and see.
