The synopsis is as follows.
The main character, Toyotaro Ota, has been a good student since he was a child and graduated from the Faculty of Law at Tokyo Imperial University (now the University of Tokyo) at the age of 19. He is a rare genius. After graduation, he entered a "certain ministry" with high expectations. Although the ministry is not disclosed, it means that he joined the central government, such as the Ministry of Finance or the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and became a national civil servant. In reality, Ogai was a military bureaucrat who served in the army up to the position of superintendent of military medicine, so it is safe to understand him as a member of the Ministry of the Army. In any case, he was a very elite bureaucrat with a promising future.
At the age of 22, he was favored by his boss, "Kancho," and was sent to study in Germany (Prussia) as a member of a government delegation. Although Toyotaro is an elite bureaucrat, he came to enjoy the freedom of European culture during the three years he spent in Germany. He also began to question his passive and mechanical life as one of the small cogs in the wheel for the state, as is common in bureaucratic organizations.
One day, I meet Elise crying in a corner of a church. She is probably between 16 and 7 years old. She cries and asks for help because her family is poor and she cannot pay for her late father's funeral. Toyotaro takes pity on her and gives her some money, and they gradually fall in love with each other. Elise was a dancer in a small theater company, the "Victoria Theatre".
Although they were good friends, an acquaintance who was not pleased with Toyotaro reported to the Japanese Embassy that "Toyotaro often went to the theater and mingled with actresses," which caused the Japanese government to stop funding his studies in Japan and forced him to resign from the bureaucracy.
Although he was in financial difficulties, through the special arrangement of his friend Kenkichi Aizawa, he was assigned to work as a German correspondent for a Japanese newspaper, and was able to make ends meet. Toyotaro and his mother also moved in with Ellis. This was the beginning of their cohabitation. Since they were lovers, they naturally had a physical relationship. Soon after, Elise developed symptoms of hyperemesis gravidarum, and it was discovered that she was pregnant.
At that time, Minister Amakata, whom Aizawa serves as secretary, visits Berlin on an overseas mission (Minister Amakata is compared to Aritomo Yamagata). Aizawa made arrangements to meet Minister Amakata, who asked Toyotaro to translate the documents into German as soon as possible. Toyotaro's workmanship was appreciated by the Minister.
Meanwhile, Aizawa persuaded Toyotaro to give up his love affair with Elise and return to Japan, and Toyotaro reluctantly promised to "cut off this affair. Toyotaro, however, was torn between remaining in Germany with Elise or returning to Japan alone as he had promised Aizawa.
Under such circumstances, the Minister asks Toyotaro, "Do you have no intention of returning to the East (Japan) with me? He was not sure whether to tell the truth or not, but he quickly replied, "Yes, I do. However, Toyotaro, with his "weak heart," could not decide which way to go, and he collapsed for several weeks in anguish.
When Aizawa came to visit him, he told Ellis what had happened between Toyotaro and the minister. In fact, Toyotaro had agreed to return to Japan. This causes Ellis to suffer from psychosis due to excessive stress.
The story ends with Toyotaro giving some money to Elise's mother for her future livelihood, and he leaves for home.[Animation] Maihime (Modern Language Version)
