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!
Oba-sama. Irie-kun.
Here, I bought some food and stuff that I thought might be good.
Thank you, Kotoko-chan.
That's very helpful.
Excuse me.
Doctor, how's my father?
We'll be conducting more detailed tests tomorrow.
However, I suspect that it was a heart attack.
Based on the test results, he may need surgery.
Surgery?
A coronary bypass?
You're very well informed.
Well, we can only make a decision after we see the results.
Whatever it is, he needs rest right now.
We'll be keeping him here for a while.
Thank you very much.
Oba-sama.
I'm worried about Yuuki-kun, so I'm going to go back.
Me too. I'll be going to my shop.
Kotoko-chan, thank you. And Aihara-san, sorry for the trouble.
Oba-sama, please get some rest too.
I will.
You can go home too, Onii-chan.
Okay. I'll come tomorrow morning to switch with you.
Onii-chan...
Let's put off talking about your future until after Papa gets better, okay?
Yeah. I know.
Irie-kun?
What's wrong? You didn't even turn on the lights.
I was just thinking.
You must be worried about your father...
Is there anything I can...? I guess not...
I believe my father's condition was caused by stress and anxiety.
My father's company is going through hard times.
He's solely responsible for the company,
...and it's because I told him then that I wouldn't succeed him and instead wanted to become a doctor that...
But... that's...
The best way to help my father recover...
...is to succeed the company.
How could you?
What about your dreams of becoming a doctor?
It's a dream that has barely taken off.
But, didn't you study your heart out?
And you said that you'd help Non-chan get well too!
Irie-kun...
Irie-kun looked so lonely from behind.
I did it without thinking.
But, Irie-kun didn't push away my arms.
Good afternoon!
Welcome!
Oh, Kotoko-san.
Oh, you're here, Kotoko.
How's Iri-chan doing?
I'm going there again after this.
But, he looked much better than when I saw him yesterday.
That's good to hear.
He said that he was exhausted from all the tests.
Really?
Say, Dad, where's Kin-chan?
He invited me over today.
Ah, he's in the kitchen.
Kinnosuke is much more skillful than he looks.
He tries his hardest after all.
I've never seen Kin-chan look so serious before.
He doesn't even notice that I'm here.
Actually, today will be his first day cooking for patrons.
Wow! This looks great!
Please try it, Kotoko.
Okay, thanks for the meal.
So, how is it?
It's delicious!
Really?
It's really delicious!
Just like a pro.
Actually...
When I was first asked to cook, I wanted you to be the first one to try it.
Kin-chan...
Oops. Sorry about that.
Would you like me to make you more of anything?
These ones then.
Right! Eat up!
There are even more now!
We're gonna be suffocated.
Well, it can't be helped.
The people related to the company just keep on sending stuff.
I've been worrying the people in the company after all.
Excuse us.
President, how are you feeling?
Sorry about this, Kimura-kun.
The company is already in enough trouble as it is.
Not at all. It's beyond your control, right?
Excuse me, President.
This may not be the best time, but who will take over the development of the new product?
Yeah, that's a good question.
Please ask Murakami-kun to handle it then.
Murakami is busy working on another project.
He's away in Osaka.
I see.
What about Yoshinaga-kun?
Yoshinaga should do.
Then, Yoshinaga will take over.
Also, the matter with the sponsorship contract.
We're already studying that in-house.
I'll give you a report later.
I see. I'm counting on you then.
President.
Excuse us. How are you feeling?
Sorry, but can you please sign these documents?
Also, I know this is a bad time, President, but we've got a pressing problem.
Hey, wasn't Dad under strict orders to get rest?
But, Papa said to let his employees see him.
He'll never be able to recover like this.
Yeah...
Hey, Mama. Where were those documents that I was supposed to pass to Nishimura-san?
I think the documents should be in the bag.
Naoki-san.
Excuse me, but I'd like to speak with you.
Good afternoon!
Ah, Kotoko-chan.
Good afternoon.
Onii-chan isn't here.
That wasn't my intention...
There's no place for you to sit either.
Hey! Yuuki!
Are those people from Oji-sama's company?
Yeah, they are.
Oh right! Visiting hours are almost over.
So, why don't you go downstairs for some tea until then?
I'll do that then.
I'll go too then.
Okay, let's go.
Naoki-san.
You're acquainted with Sir Robbins, the president of the bank that our company is dealing with, correct?
Yes, I've greeted him once last year at a celebration party.
Well, Sir Robbins is very interested in you.
He'd like to introduce his daughter to you.
Is it... a marriage interview?
Well, umm...
There are serious doubts about the credibility of our management.
Because of the president's heart attack...
...the loan negotiations with the other party are in jeopardy.
In short, this is something that would benefit the management of the company?
Yes.
If possible, could you please attend a company luncheon just once?
Very well, I will meet her.
How could you? Irie-kun...
Marriage interview?!
Irie is?!
And?
He's going to meet her this Sunday for the sake of meeting her.
And, what are you going to do?
Matsumoto-san? There's nothing I can...
You're not acting like yourself!
All right then!
Why do I have to wear these clothes too?
Because this is the least suspicious clothing for infiltrating the garden!
Irie-kun sure looks really cool in a suit.
You're really...
Come on, look!
Oh, be quiet. I'm looking.
The girl is coming.
Too dazzling!
She's not that great.
I can't understand what they're saying at all!
They're conversing in English. Obviously, you wouldn't understand.
Could that be...?
The preparations are perfect.
As expected of the Science Department.
So, what are they saying?
Let's see, like she has royal blood...
Royal?!
And like her mother is a Hollywood actress.
Actress?
Wow, she's a celebrity.
And, what else?
The rest is mostly just what you're seeing.
He's definitely trying to leave a good impression.
As expected of Irie-kun.
I really admire your positiveness.
Look out, they're coming outside.
What are you gonna do?
Just leave it to me!
I only know a little Japanese.
Aren't they hitting it off a little too well?!
What are you doing?
I gonna drench her with this!
That's strange...
Why you...
Sorry...
I'm such a fool for expecting anything from you.
It'll be all right this time. Just you wait!
Look at this.
What do you intend to do with that?
I'm gonna throw it at her once they cross over the top of that bridge.
Then?
Then she's gonna have a fright and fall into the pond.
Isn't this a childish prank?
Is it too much?
Not a problem.
Here they come!
They stopped.
A chance!
I won't fail this time!
No way...
Hey, don't push!
Thank you for your hospitality today.
Yes.
Yes, please go ahead with it.
Hey!
Yes?
Where did you get those clothes?
Well, uh...
Hey, Irie-kun!
What is it?
Are you going to marry her?
I might.
What should I do?
Irie-kun will be leaving.
Your father's condition is very poor.
What's needed most is to remove his stress.
Your usual gang isn't with you?
I see.
So, it's progressing?
If someone was going to steal Irie-kun from me...
...I'd still prefer it to be you.
Doesn't it just make you angry?
For a perfect person to come out of nowhere and take him away.
On top of that, it feels like I've lost to that Chris girl without even getting a chance to fight.
And that point; your dedication is the only thing I can't help but approve.
Honestly...
We deserve to end up with broken hearts, don't we?
Broken hearts, huh?
I guess I just have to admit defeat...
Kin-chan?
Good morning.
You sure are late.
Is bread okay?
Where's Kotoko?
She said that she had a date.
Her?
With whom?
No idea, I saw her all dressed up before leaving.
Oh, there's actually someone with such a fetish.
A marriage interview?!
Did you not hear it from Naoki-san?
Kimura-san! What's the meaning of this?!
Sir Robbins requested him to take her out so that they could get married.
Papa! You knew, didn't you?!
He's going to see her today.
However, President. If things go well between them, then the company's future will...
I'm stuffed.
Of course you are.
Even I haven't eaten that much very often!
But, it was fun.
That's good to hear.
Smiling suits you best after all...
What is it?
Thanks.
All I...
...want is for you to smile.
It was really wonderful.
I'm happy that you enjoyed it.
Hey.
Hey, Mr. Genius.
This is Christine Robbins.
What a pretty young thing.
This is my good friend from college, Aihara-san.
Nice to meet you.
I'm Aihara Kotoko. Nice to meet you.
And this is...
...the worker from the cafeteria.
Yep. I'm Ikezawa Kinnosuke. Nice to meet ya.
So, it's Kotoko and Kinnosuke, right?
Hey...
Kin-chan, let's go.
Wow, the night view is real pretty, isn't it, Kin-chan?
Hey, Kotoko...
What is it?
I'll never make you have that face.
I'll always make you smile.
Kin-chan...
So...
Will you marry me?
Kin-chan, marriage? It's too sudden. I can't answer...
I'm back.
Irie-kun. You sure are late.
Yeah, I guess.
You two were getting along really well too.
It's not like that!
Stupid Irie-kun.
Next time on Itazura na Kiss:
Period of love.
I'm definitely gonna be happy.
