Kotoko-chan, can you please call Onii-chan down?
Okay!
It's been a while since I've did this.
I was wondering what would happen at one point, but now I can be with Irie-kun again.
Irie-kun, your mom asked you to come downstairs for tea.
I'm busy right now.
What are you doing?
This is... a medical book?
Why are you looking at something like this?
Oh, be quiet! I'm studying, okay?
Eh? You? Why?
Because I'm going to transfer to the Medical Department.
Oh, to the Medical Department?
What?! Irie-kun!
You're gonna become a doctor?!
Only if I pass.
Don't tell my parents yet.
Sure. I understand.
You have my support.
No thanks.
Nothing good ever comes from your support.
But, isn't there anything...?
How about a shoulder massage?
That's enough! Get out!
What was that about? Sheesh!
Eh? But...
Could it be that I'm the only person who knows about this?
Irie-kun, are you done with the procedures?
It's so amazing that you passed with just one try.
Obviously. I actually studied this time.
So, you're really going to become a doctor.
Which would mean...
Doctor, I've brought the charts.
Perhaps I should ask you to get some ointment to apply on my love too.
Just kidding.
Hey, you were having another wild fantasy there, weren't you?
Eh? Of course not.
Nevermind that. Anyways, spring break starts tomorrow, right?
All the transfer procedures are done. So, let's go on a trip somewhere and party.
I've already made plans.
What plans?
Not telling.
Aww, no way...
See you.
Wait!
Aihara-kun.
Sudou-sempai, you do know what plans Irie made, don't you?
Of course!
He'll be spending his break working.
Huh? Work? Where?
Some anmitsu would sure be nice for dessert.
Fine...
Excellent.This top secret information is for your ears only.
Actually...
Romance Village?!
Okay, I'm going to shoot.
Okay!
Okay, say cheese.
Cheese!
Irie-kun!
We came.
Onii-chan!
I was having a bad feeling about today.
Yuuki, only you? What about Mom and Dad?
Papa can't get leave from work.
And Mama said that she couldn't possibly leave Papa alone in the house.
Your mother really, really regrets not being able to come.
I can imagine.
Oh, you're here, Aihara-kun.
Sudou-san, you've really done it, haven't you?
What are you talking about?
I sure hope you didn't tell anyone else.
Irie-kun! Good afternoon!
Matsumoto Yuuko!
Oh, Matsumoto! Welcome!
And who might this wonderful young lady be?
My little sister.
I'm Ayako.
You're Sudou-san, right? I've heard a lot about you from my sis.
Matsumoto talked about me?
Our villa is very close by.
If it's all right, I'd like to introduce you during dinner.
Sudou-sempai!
Didn't you say "for your ears only"?!
It was top secret! You liar! Repay me for that lunch!
Uhh, well, this is...
Tsunayoshi, you like beauties too? I see.
That's your dog, Sudou-sempai?
It does kinda resemble you...
Are you Kotoko-san by any chance?
How did you know about me?
Because, you're exactly as my sis described.
What kind of description?
Irie-san is also exactly as my sis described.
Being intelligent on top of having those looks. How wonderful.
Maybe I should aim for him too.
What are you saying?!
A bear? Help!
It's okay. This is our pension watchdog. He's called Tiny.
Cute, isn't he?
Tiny? What's tiny about him?
What a great welcome. Good for you.
Wait, wait... Irie-kun!
So heavy...
Why did it turn out like this?
Damn those Matsumoto sisters!
Because of those two, I can't get close to Irie-kun at all!
What are you gonna do about this?!
Calm down.
Spring break is gonna end!
Don't worry. I have a special plan!
Plan?
Yeah, we'll carry it out tomorrow.
It's a plan to bring true happiness to you and Irie, and me and Matsumoto.
Listen up.
If you memorize the name of the flower and its floriography...
...you might be able to knock him out with your femininity.
I see! All right! I'm gonna memorize these.
First of all...
Kotoko!
Irie-kun!
You finally woke up.
Would you like to take a stroll?
An opportunity has suddenly opened up?
What should I do?
That's right! The floriography.
What was this flower called again?
It's always you telling me that you love me and such.
But, do you know my true feelings?
You don't feel anything for me, because it seems you never show your true feelings.
Idiot.
You've got it wrong, I...
I don't believe it!
The second time?!
Second...
A dream?
So it was a dream. That sure surprised me.
I had a feeling it was too good to be true.
But, strangely, there's some kind of sensation left behind on my lips.
To deepen our friendship, today...
...we're going to have a couple orienteering event.
To ensure safety, each pair will take a dog with them.
Let's decide the pairs immediately then.
Let's use this lottery to decide fairly...
Hold it right there!
Don't look at the folded part!
Everyone can trace along the lines however they like.
Rejected!
After all we went through...
What did you go through?
Nevermind, it's nothing.
Let's do it using a fairer and easier way.
Rock, paper, scissors!
One, two... Rock, paper, scissors!
Rock, we're rock!
Rock, paper, scissors!
First team: the rock pair.
Matsumoto, best regards.
Second team: the scissors pair.
Best regards, Irie-san.
Ah, best regards.
Third team: the paper pair.
Don't say I'm like paper as well!
Hey! What do you mean by "as well"?
Okay, so we'll start five minutes apart.
First up, top batters, Aihara and Little Brother Irie Team, go!
Okay...
Sheesh, why do I have to get Kotoko?
I've found you, Kotoko.
There it is!
Yuuki-kun, the stamp.
I know! Quit your nagging.
You can be such a jerk.
Hey, Tsunayoshi!
He probably got confused because you're so fat.
I won't experience even a fragment of romance if this keeps up.
I wonder what Irie-kun and Ayako-chan are doing right now...
What was that?
What's wrong, Tiny?
Hey, what is it?
Huh... Bears?!
I thought I heard Kotoko's voice.
Thank goodness, it didn't chase us.
There's nothing to be thankful about.
Where are we?
It's okay, Yuuki-kun. We'll just go back the way we came.
That was close.
Dummy.
There, there now, Clarice-chan. I wasn't trying to do anything.
Matsumoto, please do something.
I can't. Clarice has been trained to be merciless to suspicious people.
Suspicious people?
That's Kotoko's hat!
I'm sure of it. Don't tell me...
What a terrible predicament!
Kotoko, I'm coming to save you now! Wait for me!
All right!
Say, Irie-san. Would you like to walk some more? Just the two of us.
I have to prepare dinner.
Kotoko!
Let's head back.
Wait!
Sudou-san, did you see Aihara or Yuuki on the way back?
They're not back yet?
No, they aren't.
They were the first to leave, weren't they?
Honestly, what are they doing? The sun is already going to set.
It's suddenly gotten much colder.
And I'm hungry too.
I think we really should look for a way back.
I told you already! It's dangerous to wander around randomly.
Here.
Why?
Yuuki-kun, you're amazing!
How did the saying go again?
"Happiness comes to the prepared!"
"No distress comes to the prepared", wasn't it?
Yeah, that's it!
Thank you. You're very reliable, Yuuki-kun.
It's because you're too unreliable. Even though you're a college student.
Ow, ow.
I'm starving and I'm hurting everywhere.
I'm a goner.
Kotoko, please hold on.
Damn! I won't be able to climb that high with this foot.
At this rate, I'll definitely...
No, I don't want that!
Kotoko, I love you!
Kotoko!
What was that? A wolf?
There are no wolves in modern Japan, stupid!
Then, what in the world is that?!
A stray dog, right?
Tsunayoshi, chase it away!
There's only one.
Tsunayoshi!
Tsunayoshi! What are you doing?!
That traitor dog!
Stand back, Kotoko.
Get lost, damn you!
Someone! Irie-kun!
Tiny!
Thank you!
Yuuki! Kotoko! Are you guys all right?
Irie-kun!
Yuuki, are you hurt?
I'm fine.
That howl from earlier...
That voice...
Oh, you found Aihara and Yuuki.
That's great.
Sudou-san, please take these two back first.
I'll catch up with you soon.
Irie-kun?
Someone! Is anyone there? Anyone!
A person?
I'm saved! Hey!
Here, grab on!
That voice!
Don't tell me... Irie!
Hurry it up!
Mind your own business! Who asked for your help?
Oh really? I didn't need to help you.
Come on, wait!
Oh yeah! Kotoko! Gotta save her!
Calm down. She's safe.
She went back to the lodge first.
Really?
Thank God! Really, thank God!
Sheesh. I concede defeat to his pure-hearted love.
Kotoko.
Kin-chan? No, he's not here.
Eh, really?
Okay, understood. Bye.
From your father?
Yeah. He's angry because Kin-chan has been absent from work. He said that he'll fire him if he doesn't show today.
Oh no! Boss is really pissed!
I'll be back soon.
Oh, Irie-kun.
Welcome back!
Onii-chan, welcome back!
Tsunayoshi!
You traitor dog!
Thanks for letting us stay!
Bye bye. -See you!
Even though I went all the way to Romance Village...
...nothing romantic at all happened.
But...
...I managed to kiss him in a dream though.
Welcome back everyone.
We're back!
So, how did things at Romance Village go?
Were you able to make some lovely memories?
Well, how should I put it...?
Ah, Papa, welcome back.
Naoki, come. We have to talk.
I got a call from your university today.
Is it true that you're transferring to the Medical Department?
Yes. I'm transferring this April.
What? I never heard about this!
I'm sorry for keeping this from you.
It's just that I've been thinking...
...about what I really want to do, and whether I really have no dreams.
Naoki, I want you to be my successor.
I'm going to become a doctor.
I'm not going to succeed your company. I've already made up my mind.
Naoki!
Dad!
Dad! What's wrong?
My chest...
Papa!
What's wrong? Hang in there!
Papa!
Kotoko! The ambulance!
Right!
Irie-kun is having a marriage interview?!
So, what do you plan to do, Aihara-san?
I don't know. And you, Matsumoto-san?
I'm going to oppose, obviously!
As I thought. This is one of the rare occasions we get along.
By the way, who's the girl he's meeting?
Surely someone who's no competition...
What's going on? So dazzling!
Next time on Itazura na Kiss:
Mismatched hearts.
I'm definitely gonna be happy... aren't I?
