I'm going to become a nurse!
Why such a sudden change of heart?
I'm bad at whatever I do.
For me, becoming a nurse might be impossible.
But, I...
I want to become a wife fit for Irie-kun!
You, a nurse? Think about the patients who have to be treated by you!
Why not?
You should try.
And with that, I'm now running towards a new dream of becoming a nurse.
Or maybe not.
Oh my God!
For some reason, I failed.
Could this be...
...someone's conspiracy to break Irie-kun and me up?
Or is this a marital test of love from God?
However!
I won't be beaten by something like that!
Anyway, this year I will pass the transfer examinations and walk the path towards becoming a nurse!
What are you getting all excited about?
Sheesh, do you want to fail again this year?
Well, I'll be fine.
Because, this year, if I pass, you'll reward me with a date.
What the heck is that?
Who said such a thing?
Well, I think I'll be able to study better with something like that.
I'm doing this for your sake, you know.
If it weren't for stuff like this, you'd never go on a proper date with me!
Fine then.
Really?!
I'll work hard then!
Sure, sure.
You may begin.
Finally finished.
It should turn out well this year.
It'll turn out fine, Kotoko.
I'm sure you'll pass.
You're right. Thank you, Chris!
I've gotta pass this year so I can get a date from Irie-kun!
Oh, a date?
Kinnosuke, why don't we go on a date too?
Huh? What are you saying?
Watching a movie with you, then having a meal together...
Be quiet! I'm working!
Come on. Let's have a date.
Looks like you're becoming more and more like Kin-chan, Chris.
I have fallen in love with and yearned for him, and have become more like him because of that.
Hmph, she's just mimicking my way of speaking. How annoying.
Kinnosuke, you shouldn't say such mean things.
Come on, what's wrong with going out on a date with me just once?
Stop bothering me!
If you're going to get in the way of my work, get lost!
What's up with Kin-chan, getting all embarrassed and worked up...
That's probably because Kinnosuke still only loves you.
That's not true.
I think he has some feelings for you.
Do you think so?
Yeah, I'm sure!
But, I have to return to England soon.
But, even so, if Kinnosuke tells me not to go back...
...then I plan on staying in Japan forever.
But, a person's heart doesn't always go the way you want it to.
It'll be okay!
I'll help you.
Help?
Leave it to me, Chris.
Code name: Kin-chan knock out super plan!
Eh? Birthday party?
That's right.
We've never done anything like that before, right?
That's true, but my birthday is in two months.
Oh, was it?
Yep. December 29th.
Well, Satomi, Jinko and Chris will all be there to celebrate.
Why are you doing this out of the blue? It's strange.
However, since you're doing this celebration for me, I'd be happy to attend.
That's the way to approach it!
You're going to come too, right, Irie-kun?
There's no way I'm going to something like that.
Besides, next week, I have an academic meeting with my professor, so I have a lot of preparation to do.
Academic meeting? Even though you're a student?
Isn't that really good?
No idea.
It's definitely good!
Either way, you should stop interfering with other people's feelings.
But, I want to support Chris...
Let her be.
People's feelings will change when they do.
Kinnosuke, happy birthday!
Thank you, thank you!
Sorry for the wait.
We've been waiting.
Now, now, I'll light the candles.
What a great cake!
Ain't it? Chris baked it.
Oh, really?
Kinnosuke, do you not like it?
No, it's not that. I don't like sweet stuff.
And it's also a bit too flashy.
Kin-chan!
I got it.
I'm going to blow out the candles.
Kin-chan, eat up!
It's good!
Right?
This captures the Japanese taste!
Kotoko, you do know how to cook!
Chris made that.
Is it good, Kinnosuke?
I'm so happy.
It's a fluke.
I have to try the others too.
It's so spicy!
See. That's the extent of your abilities.
I made that...
Really?
So, do you have a better opinion of Chris now?
She worked all day and night just for you.
Oh, be quiet!
Kinnosuke.
What is it?
Your birthday present.
Please accept it.
What is this?
Kin-chan!
A hand-knit sweater!
It's really well made!
I made a matching pair.
I'm not very good at knitting, but I tried my best to knit it.
Oh, Kin-chan is blushing.
If you're happy then just say that you're happy.
Shut up!
What's wrong with you all?!
Working up such a stupid scheme!
Kin-chan...
How many times do I have to tell you before you get it?!
Kotoko is my only love!
Kinnosuke?
Who would ever wear this?!
You! Go back to England or America or where ever you came from now!
Kin-chan...
Very well.
Chris, wait!
Thank you. Kotoko. Satomi. Jinko.
Goodbye...
What's she sulking about?
That's just too cruel, Kin-chan.
It's better to make a big deal of it.
After all, she'll be back to bother me again soon, right?
She won't.
Chris is going back to England.
It was hard for her to part with you.
She wanted you to like her.
She tried so hard, and yet...
Kotoko.
How could you say such things?!
You're an idiot, Kin-chan!
Kotoko!
Chris!
Chris, I'm sorry.
The birthday plan was a failure.
It's not your fault, Kotoko.
But...
I wanted to become Japanese.
I wanted to become Japanese...
Chris!
Sheesh. I told you so.
Besides, there's never been an instance where your plans worked.
What's wrong?
Well, my stomach doesn't feel so good.
Wasn't it because you were crying while drowning your sorrows with food?
Are you all right?
You have a slight fever.
Open your mouth.
It's not inflamed.
You're really like a doctor.
If it gets any worse, then go to the hospital tomorrow to get some medicine.
Have a safe trip.
Don't overwork yourself today.
Yes.
Kotoko-chan, is there something wrong with you?
It's no biggie. I just have a slight fever and a bit of nausea.
What did you just say?
Do you have nausea?
Yes.
And a slight fever too, right?
Yes.
How about your period?
It's a little late...
Could it be? No! It has to be!
What's wrong?
It's gonna get real busy here.
Mother?
Chris.
Hello?
Kotoko, thank you for everything.
I'm going back to England on today's flight.
Wait, Chris!
Hey, are you all right?
I'm sorry, I'll clean it right away.
Kinnosuke, what's wrong with you today?
It's nothing.
Hello, Kin-chan?
There's a problem! Chris is going back home!
Chris will be going back home on today's flight!
What are you saying? -Get here now!
It's impossible. I can't go.
Kin-chan?
I'm going to prepare the shop now.
You're never going to see her again if you leave it like this!
That's right. So what?
Just let her be if she wants to go back.
How do you expect me to go when you've just told me today?
Kin-chan!
I'm busy, so I'm going to hang up.
The number you have called is currently out of service range or is currently switched off.
Geez, what the heck Kin-chan doing?!
It's okay.
No, it's not! Because...!
Kotoko.
I've been under your care for such a long time.
The nine o'clock bus for Narita Airport will be departing momentarily.
Passengers, please board immediately.
Well, I'm going.
Sheesh, what are you doing, Kin-chan?
We're departing momentarily.
I'm going too!
Closing the door.
Hey, Kinnosuke.
Huh? What is it?
Look below.
You're acting strangely today.
I'm sorry.
She flies at twelve, got it?
Make sure you're not late!
Thank you. Kotoko. Satomi. Jinko.
Goodbye...
Your birthday present.
...matching pair...
Today...
Boss!
What is it?
I'm sorry.
But, please let me leave for today!
Hey, Kinnosuke!
Where are you going?
Hey, Kinnosuke!
The 12:00 British Airlines flight for Heathrow Airport, London, is now calling.
Kotoko.
I really had a lot of fun in Japan.
I'm counting on you to pass my message to Kinnosuke.
Chris...
Well then, Kotoko. This is really goodbye.
Chris!
To be honest, I wanted to see Kinnosuke once more.
But, this is bye-bye.
Kin-chan!
You're late, Kin-chan! What were you doing?
Where's Chris?
She already left.
What did you say? Which way?
Damn it! That idiot!
Kin-chan?
Kotoko.
I'm sorry.
Chris!
Wait, Chris!
Stop!
Let me through!
Your ticket!
Shut up! I don't have one!
You can't go past here!
Let me go! Let me go, will you!
Kin-chan!
You two!
Kin-chan, go!
Sorry, Kotoko.
Chris! Where are you?!
Stop!
Come here!
Chris!
Calm down! -Come back!
Can't you hear me? You idiot!
I'm wearing the sweater you knit!
Please, come and see!
Please stop struggling.
What's with you? Let me go, you idiots!
Please calm down!
Chris, come back!
Because, I've grown to love you a little!
Stay in Japan!
Chris! Come back!
Kin-chan...
Chris...
Good morning, Kinnosuke!
Why are you...?
I was thinking of returning home...
...but your face kept floating in my head, so I just couldn't take it any more.
So, I got them to let me off the plane.
Umm, Chris...
What is it?
So, you didn't come back because you heard Kin-chan's voice...?
Did you say something, Kinnosuke?
No, I didn't. Forget it.
Wait, Kinnosuke!
I know very well that I'm nothing but trouble for you.
Let go.
That may be so, but I'll keep attacking until your feelings change!
Kotoko, I'll try my best!
Do your best, Chris!
I will!
I'm home!
Geez, where have you been, Kotoko-chan?
Umm, mother, what could this be?
Can't you tell by looking?
They're baby products!
I just couldn't take it any more!
Kotoko-chan, this may be jumping the gun a little though.
Kotoko-chan, you're pregnant.
Huh?! Me?!
Come, we're going to have a party tonight!
And this is a dish made especially for expecting mothers.
I was thinking of delivering this to the neighbors too.
Aww, Aihara-san.
I have a baby inside me?
That's right. I'm sure since I've given birth to two children myself.
Irie-kun's and my baby...
What's this commotion about?
Irie-kun, weren't you coming home tomorrow?
Well, today...
Come on now, Kotoko-chan. You have some news to tell him, right?
It's seems that I'm pregnant.
Is that true?!
Probably.
Probably? And the doctor?
I haven't gone to see one yet.
I think we can still make it now.
What a handsome man.
How dreamy.
I wonder who his wife is.
How lucky.
Irie-kun, I...
They said I had an inflamed stomach...
So, they were wrong.
I'm sorry! I guessed incorrectly!
Geez, it's because you jumped the gun without first visiting the doctor.
Well, this time, it was my mother's fault.
What should I tell them?
If you're not pregnant, then you're not. There's no helping it.
Besides, how were your results?
The results came out today, right?
What are you doing?
Wait.
What is it now? The results are right there.
I know, but I'm not mentally prepared!
What is it? What was that "Ah" about?
It's there!
What's wrong?
I feel my strength sapped after being overcome with relief.
Geez, you're so hopeless.
Come on, let's go.
Where to?
I was supposed to take you out on a date if you passed, right?
Thank you, Irie-kun!
How annoying.
Could it be that you came back early because of this?
Something like that.
I'm so happy!
Sheesh. So, where do you want to go?
Onii-chan and Kotoko-chan sure are late.
My first grandchild!
Hey, Jinko, did you hear? Kotoko passed the nursing exam!
Really? I'm gonna make Kotoko the model of hope for my life after all.
Next time on Itazura na Kiss:
Enviable new face!?
I'm definitely gonna be happy.
