Saliva's digestive enzyme is ptyalin.
Gastric enzymes consist of pepsin and...
Pepsin and gastric lipase.
Pancreatic enzymes are trypsin, amylopsin, steapsin and nuclease.
Yuuki-kun, how were you able to recite that?
It's because you've been reading that same page out loud god-knows how many times.
There's no way that I can't remember something that a middle schooler can...
Fight, Kotoko-chan!
Trypsin and amylopsin are nothing.
Not you too, Mother.
Keita will get angry at me again.
Who is this Keita?
He's my classmate, and very zealous about nursing.
Idiot, you merely managed to wrap the band right.
Honestly, help me out here.
Onii-chan, you should accompany Kotoko-chan for her studies.
I don't have that kind of free time.
Sheesh! He's so cold.
It happens all the time anyway.
The syringe needle should be 22 to 19 gauge in diameter.
Thin needles will increase the likelihood of hemolysis and coagulation.
So many things to remember one after another.
Ah, Irie-kun! I've been waiting for you.
Do you wanna have lunch together?
Welcome!
Chris, what are you doing?
Kinnosuke always seems so busy, right? So, I'm lending him a hand during lunch.
Honestly, I don't need your help, idiot!
Then, I'll have a kitsune udon.
I'll have an oyakodon.
Okay.
Kinnosuke, one kitsune noodle and one family-don, please!
Venipuncture Practical?
Yes, first class of the afternoon.
I've always been bad with needles.
Gloom!
The one in gloom would be the person you're sticking a needle in.
That's right! Excuse me!
You have it easy, since you'll be getting your blood drawn by us accomplished students.
Absolutely right.
But, we have until class to decide, right?
Hey, Tomoko, will you be my partner this time?
That's not fair, Moto-chan! I'm partnering her. Right, Tomoko?
Hey, wait! Don't think that you can escape!
I wasn't attempting to...
You don't have to be so scared.
That's right, Irie-kun. Will you let me practice on you before class?
Absolutely no!
Of course you won't.
So, how are we going to decide the pairs?
I'll partner with Kotoko. That solves it, right?
Have you gone mad?!
What is it?
Nothing. Well, good luck.
I'm counting on you, Keita.
You sure have some guts.
Here it comes!
You've been e-mailing a lot lately.
Good luck on the blood draw practical. From Tsuyopon.
Hey, don't peek!
What's that? Who's Tsuyopon?
Secret.
I'm getting goosebumps!
Your drawn blood will be used by the medical department for training purposes later.
So, please don't forget to put your names on the label.
First... First...
First, you tie the tourniquet, right?
Right, this comes first.
Please tuck your thumb in.
I'm going to make your blood vessel pop up.
That's too tight!
Sorry.
All done!
See, it didn't hurt, right?
Tomoko is really skilled, isn't she?
That hurt!
Sorry. I can't find your blood vessel.
Okay, one more time.
Hey, that hurts!
Don't search using the needle!
Poor thing.
Kotoko-san, should I sub in for you?
It might be better that way.
It's okay!
But, Keita will be filled with scars like this.
Well, he brought it upon himself.
Don't say that! Don't you feel sorry for Keita?
Eh? Could it be that Tomoko likes Keita?
Sorry, we still haven't collected all the samples.
Kotoko-san, let me do it.
Keita, you don't want to suffer any more either, right?
It's okay. The training would be meaningless if we don't let Kotoko finish.
Come on, hurry.
I did it!
Well done.
Keita, are you all right?
You did it, Kotoko.
Hurry, you have to take that to the medical department.
I do, don't I?
Irie-kun, look! I managed to do it right!
You were merely doing a blood draw. What took you so long?
Kotoko tried her best!
As her husband, you should share her joy!
Unfortunately, I'm not such a small-minded person that mixes work with household matters.
It's all right, Keita. It was my fault that he had to wait.
Sorry, Irie-kun.
Doesn't it infuriate you being talked to so coldly like that?
It happens all the time anyway.
Irie-kun just doesn't want to spoil me.
Boiled spinach, spinach salad, spinach miso soup...
...spinach omelettes, and this one is spinach tempura.
Is this a spinach festival?
Kotoko-chan just had her blood drawn, so she needs the iron.
I have some liver too. Here.
Sorry about this.
It must hurt to have your blood drawn.
It depends on the skill of the person doing the blood draw, right?
That reminds me. I heard that Tomoko's venipuncture didn't hurt at all.
Tomoko-san is your classmate?
Yes, she's adorable like an angel.
That's right. It seems that Tomoko has a crush on Keita.
I have to lend her my support.
Keita is such a great guy after all.
Who cares about that.
Thanks for the meal.
Irie-kun?
He's been in a foul mood lately.
Come, let's eat.
Kotoko-chan, make sure you eat the liver too.
Yes!
This is liver, right?
Yeah, what about it?
We have more practical training next week...
This day has finally arrived!
Venipuncture is like child's play compared to an autopsy, huh?
What happens if we faint?
I'm most worried for Tomoko. Will you be all right?
Will you be able to take it?
It'll be fine. We'll put Keita behind her to catch her.
If Tomoko faints, Keita will carry her with his strong arms.
Then, Keita will run at full speed towards the medical office!
And there, Keita will be gazing heavily upon Tomoko as she sleeps...
Now why would I be looking at her face?
Sheesh, this is what you get from a thickheaded guy.
The medical students are presently performing an autopsy.
First, let's observe and learn.
The air feels so chilly...
Impossible! This really is impossible!
Irie-kun!
He looks wonderful in a surgical gown too!
I want to wipe the sweat off of him.
You can't! I'll be the one...
How nice, they can touch the organs.
Okay then, please let the nurses take over.
Yes.
It's a precious cadaver, so please learn as much as you can from it.
Yes...
We give our thanks to the cadaver which has helped the medical students to progress.
Please pray.
Please put both your hands onto the cadaver.
You may begin once you've offered your prayer.
It'd be rude to feel scared.
Just calm down and put out your arms.
Best regards!
What's the point of offering a prayer to me?!
I feel like my heart is gonna jump out!
I'll do it!
I'm totally all right with this.
So, this is the heart.
Tomoko is actually...
Please carefully observe the left and right chambers.
Next, please observe the lungs. Next...
Hey, Kotoko.
Kotoko!
Move it! Move it! You're in my way!
It must have been due to the autopsy.
Oh, Irie.
Something bad happened to your wife.
Medicine...
Bah, nothing useful here.
That's right. It must be hard to breathe with that.
What are you planning to do after that?
You again?
I wasn't going to...
Sorry for the trouble.
I'll watch over her. Return to your practical.
Don't even think about laying a hand on someone else's wife.
Don't think so highly of yourself.
You treat Kotoko so coldly all the time.
Don't try to act like a husband only during times like these.
You have no right to complain.
I do!
I'm more considerate towards Kotoko than you.
I care for her better than you!
Good for you.
Hey, Irie.
The instructor is calling. He wants you to come immediately.
Okay. I'm going now.
Kotoko isn't coming back, is she?
Maybe we should go check on her for a bit?
Kotoko-san.
How are you feeling?
I'll manage.
Are you okay?
I'm still feeling a little dizzy, I guess.
What happened to him?
Him?
Never mind. I'll walk you home.
No, I'll be fine.
Don't be unreasonable. Keita, please.
I'm sorry. I keep causing you nothing but trouble.
Don't worry about that.
I'm really bad at everything I do.
You're trying your best.
Have more self-esteem.
Thank you.
Kotoko-chan.
Mother.
Welcome back.
This is Irie-kun's mother.
This is Kamogari Keita-kun, the one I mentioned before.
Ah, the zealous one.
I fainted during the autopsy practical.
So, he walked me back.
Oh dear. Are you okay?
Yes. I've fully recovered.
Sorry for the trouble.
Not at all. Then, I'll say goodbye here.
Don't strain yourself.
Thanks.
Sorry. I'm all right now.
Really? -Yes.
You sure nothing is wrong? -Yes, I'm fine.
That's good then. Be careful, okay?
Yes.
So, Kamogari-kun lives in the opposite direction?
Yes. I told him that I'd be able to get back on my own though.
How kind of him.
And on the other hand, Onii-chan...
You neglected her and came home late even though she had fainted.
She won't make it as a nurse fainting from something like that.
You're right.
You'll have to buck up if you really want to become a nurse.
Just what was that?!
It's okay. What Irie-kun said was correct.
Yeah, Irie-kun isn't wrong.
But, I wish that he'd worry about me, even if it was just a little.
You scared me. What are you doing?
Something sure smells.
I'm talking about Kamogari Keita.
He might have a crush on Kotoko-chan.
How could that be? They're just classmates, right?
No, I'm sure he does!
Kotoko-chan is so adorable after all.
I knew this day would come.
I never thought that it would.
I have to investigate this thoroughly.
Excuse me, gentlemen.
Are you acquainted with Kamogari Keita from the nursing department?
Kamogari... the one with the long hair?
Yes, the long haired one.
I was wondering what kind of person he was.
What kind? He's a nice guy and chivalrous.
He's very earnest and takes good care of others.
I see.
He's very dependable, isn't he?
Yes, he's quite my type.
Everyone I ask gives the same answers.
At this rate, Onii-chan's position...
I'm starting to feel dizzy...
Careful!
Ah, sorry.
It's because you're wearing such clothes in this heat.
You should take off that leather jacket.
Okay.
Why are you here today, Mrs. Irie?
How do you know it's me?
Who wouldn't be able to tell?
Do you want to go to the medical office? It's nearby, so I'll show you there.
No, I'll be okay after a short rest.
Anyway, you should replenish the fluids in your body.
I just bought this, so if you'd like...
Sorry about this.
If you start feeling worse, there's a medical office on the first floor of that building.
What a kind young man!
With that nice young man in the picture, cold-hearted Onii-chan wouldn't stand a chance!
I would choose him too!
Kotoko-chan is going leave us for him!
Mother?
Yeah, she was wearing really thick clothes.
I wonder what she came here for.
Moto-chan.
Moto-chan?
Tsuyopon? The one you've been e-mailing?
I got to know him over the Internet.
We met for the first time yesterday.
And I received an e-mail earlier.
He told me never to contact him ever again!
So in short, Tsuyopon thought that you were a girl?
He was tricked by the talk of being a nurse trainee, wasn't he?
I didn't trick him. Don't speak ill of me.
But, what about Irie-san, Moto-chan?
He's someone I admire who's out of reach.
Just when I thought I had found real love!
Yes, yes. I know.
Let's go drinking tonight.
You okay with that, Keita?
Yeah.
I'll come too. You'll be going too, right, Kotoko-san?
I'm married, so I don't think I should be going out at night so often.
So, a girl's friendship only amounts to that much?
It shouldn't be a problem if you get your husband's permission, right?
Why don't you try asking Irie-san?
Ah, speak of the devil.
Come on, go ask him.
Irie-kun.
I was wondering if it's all right for me to go drinking with the gang.
The gang?
Moto-chan is feeling heartbroken.
Marina, Tomoko and Keita said they'll go too.
Just do as you please.
Don't ask me every little thing.
Are you not able to decide a single thing by yourself?
But, I was just...
Fine then! I'll do as I please!
Keita!
Drink!
I am drinking.
You act like you don't care!
Even though I'm feeling so depressed here!
Cheer up. I'm sure someone who would treasure you more will appear.
That's right. Women are always treated well at first, then the man leaves.
Just forget about that guy and move on to the next one.
Excuse me, a refill please!
Treated well then the man leaves, huh?
I just can't stand watching this.
Well, it can't be helped since he just got his heart broken.
I'm not talking about Motoki. I'm talking about you.
Why did you marry a guy like him?
So, you let her go?
It's not something I should interfere with.
Why are you being so carefree?
That Kamogari boy is with her too, right?
Seems like it.
What are you going to do? Kotoko-chan is going to be taken at this rate!
I'm sorry, but I really don't believe that he loves you.
It's exactly as they've said.
If he really did love you, then he'd treat you better.
Sorry, I...
I have to go home now.
Mother will worry.
Eh? Kotoko, you're going already?
Yeah, sorry. I'll be going then.
Kotoko!
Wait!
You're right.
Why did Irie-kun marry me?
Kotoko...
Don't go back to him.
Break up with him.
What's this, Irie? You look troubled.
I don't know. I don't get it myself.
It bothers me when I see Kamogari looking at Kotoko.
You really don't see it?
What?
Hah! This looks like fun, so I ain't telling you!
Even the genius has things he doesn't get!
Next time on Itazura na Kiss:
Crazy for you.
I'm definitely gonna be happy.
