Kaito-kun started shaking non-stop.
Febrile seizures.
What would I do if Kaito-kun dies...
37.5 Celsius. I'll call his mom.
I'm Sugisaki Momoko from Little Snow, home care service for sick children.
Do you know what caregivers for sick children do?
When you have a fever and can't go to nursery school...
We will take care of you at your home.
Our job is to take care of sick children.
Not to lecture their family's policies.
When a caregiver comes to the house, Mom goes out.
To the children, we're like demons.
Why recruited a girl who can't even smile?
You would wonder about that smile, right?
Please take a better look at Kaito-kun.
If I were to be fired because of that, how would I raise him?
You don't know anything so don't say things irresponsibly.
Kaito-kun really loves you.
Mama, good luck with your job.
From today, I'll work harder.
Kaito made me this medal after all.
You did really well.
Excuse me.
Is that person here?
That person?
- That person? - Koharu?
Koharu?
Why are you here? What happened?
Nothing. I forgot the key so I came to get it.
Oh! Is that so?
Here's the key.
Have a safe trip.
Excuse me... that Koharu-chan just now...
Is she a client of Little Snow?
Koharu is my daughter.
Ah! Is that so?
Your daughter?
Yeah.
Eh? Daughter?
That means that she's Asahina-san's child?
Koharu! Your lunch box!
That means that Asahina-san's a father.
You've already been here for 3 months, you should have noticed that.
Ah... I was so sure that he's single.
He is, but about that...
I'm sorry for making a commontion in the morning.
It must be hard for you.
Koharu-chan's still like that?
Well, you see...
Kids nowadays seem to go through rebellious age pretty early.
It's okay if it's just rebellious age.
Come one, Yanagi-san. Don't scare me like that.
Then, I'll be going.
Momo-chan. Don't forget your smile and work hard, okay?
It's not just your smile that you shouldn't forget.
Eh...
It's that... 3 principles in home care for sick children.
Ah, right!
Don't pay attention to the child. Don't scold them.
Don't impose your own values on them.
That's right!
Don't do anything unnecessary.
Yes.
Sasaki Yui-chan, 6 years old. Having abdominal pain.
Pay close attention to her hydration.
Ah... Megumi-san.
I'm sorry for always causing you troubles.
You didn't cause me any troubles.
I'll do my best...
To not wasting what you've taught me during training.
Don't mind me and worrying about you instead.
Eh?
I don't know what's gonna happen to you if you cause any more complaints or troubles.
First, let finish your day without any problems.
Ah! Even if you're busy, don't forget to report about her progress.
Ah... Yes.
Just as I thought I'm still on grace period.
It's not the time to be depressed.
Despite of having a dream to be a nursery school teacher...
I became a caregiver for sick children.
Taking care of a child who has a fever of 37.5 Celsius or more and can't go to nursery school...
Is a lot more difficult than I thought.
Your fever went down.
I was surprised. I didn't know what to do.
There's also things that made me want to cry.
Smile. Smile.
But, at any rate...
I want to do my utmost best now.
Because I'm sure this job...
Will bring me to somewhere different.
[107 Sasaki]
Yes?
I'm Sugisaki Momoko...
From Little Snow.
37.5 Celsius Tears
- Episode 2
Please come in.
Excuse me for disturbing.
She's my daughter, Yui.
Yui-chan, good morning.
Good morning.
Since yesterday she complained about a stomach ache.
We went to pediatrics but they didn't know the cause.
Is that so?
She doesn't have a fever. Bowel movement is also normal.
But her stomach ache won't go away.
That would make you worry, wouldn't it?
If I could I also want to take more times off from work.
But today I have to come in.
I'll leave her in your care.
Yes.
Her necessary things like towel and change of clothes, I've put it beside her.
Okay.
And, I made rice porridge for her lunch.
Please warm it up for her.
Don't let her eat anything other than this.
I got it.
Mama, my stomach hurts.
Yui.
I'll come home as soon as I can.
Stay home with Onee-chan, okay?
Then, please take care of her.
Yes. Have a nice trip.
The mother is so kind.
Yui-chan is also a good child.
Today, everything will go well.
Huh? Yui-chan?
Wait... Yui-chan!
Your stomach hurts, right? You gotta lie down.
It doesn't hurt at all.
Eh... really?
It's cured.
Really?
I wonder if it calmed down now...
Yui-chan, it's time for lunch.
I don't want that.
Eh? Your mother specially made it for you.
Yui-chan! What are you doing?!
Eating ice cream will make your stomach cold. You can't!
Don't pay attention to the child. Don't scold them.
Don't impose your own values on them.
Those are 3 principles in home care for sick children.
At time like this he wouldn't forbid, would he?
Yui-chan, give it to me.
No way. No way. I want to eat ice cream.
But you have stomach ache.
It doesn't hurt at all.
I did it! I got the meal.
By any chance...
Regards Sasaki Yui-chan's stomach ache...
Isn't it feigned illness?
Uhm...
Ah... it must be my mistake. Right?
It's no mistake that Yui-chan feigned illness.
Ah, last time I also went there. It's no doubt feigned illness.
She played game full of spirit.
She did!
When I were there, she sneakily ate ice cream.
Yes. She ate it.
Why did you let her eat it?!
That doesn't sound good.
I'm sorry, Momo-chan.
I also thought it wasn't a good idea to assign you there.
No, it's okay.
But Yui-chan really feigned illness.
What should we do in case like this?
What do you mean?
Knowing her feigning illness but pretend to not know it...
You see! That's your bad habit.
Our job is just to take care of the child who's sick.
Yes.
But Yui-chan's mother is really worry about her stomach ache not getting better.
- So I think we should at least... - That's not necessary!
If her parents said she has stomach ache, then it's stomach ache.
It doesn't matter whether that child has stomach ache or not.
- That... - You still didn't get it?!
That is putting your nose into someone family's affair.
I can't comprehend at all!
How can we keep silent about her feigning illness...
When the mother is so worry?!
Well, people just want to avoid troubles at any cost.
Nursery school is like that too?
Uhm~
You see...
If we were to keep her it'd affect the other kids, so we'd have to talk to her parents.
At home care for sick children, you just take care of her temporary so it should be okay. Right?
Eh? But still...
Yumika-sensei!
Ah!
Kenta-kun!
How did you know him?
Kenta-kun, you came.
Yeah.
Oh, right! Kenta-kun goes to Yumika's nursery school.
Uhm.
I went to Kenta-kun's place once as a caregiver for sick children.
I see.
Kenta-kun. You're here for a meal?
- Yeah. - I see.
You're the person in charge for today?
Are you sure you're going to be okay?
Kenta?
Kenta. You're really here.
Papa.
What are you doing?
Hi. Kenta-kun's dad.
Ah... sensei!
I'm sorry that Kenta has disturbed you.
Not at all.
Eh?
Ah... hello. I'm Sugisaki Momoko from Little Snow.
Thanks for the last time.
You two are friends?
Yes.
Kenta-kun. It's so nice to eat out with your dad.
It's because papa can't make omelet rice.
You don't have to tell her all that.
It must be hard for you.
Your wife has returned to her parents' home to take care of her mother. Right?
Yeah...
Eh?!
Where's Kenta-kun's mother?
She left last week. We're separated.
I'm not very good at making foods that Kenta want to eat.
It's really difficult.
That's right.
Okay. Let return to our seats.
I want to eat with Yumika-sensei.
You will disturb them. So, no.
It's totally OK. Right?
Eh?
Kenta-kun, do you want to seat here?
- Yeah. - Here you go.
The french fries look good.
Ah, do you want it? Then let eat french fries.
Here. Itadakimasu.
Itadakimasu.
- Is it good? - It's delicious.
Yeah. I'm so glad.
I'm sorry, sensei.
It's okay.
Go ahead.
- Delicious! - Delicious?!
Maybe it's mine.
Ah... excuse me for a second.
Hello.
Okay. I'll be there right away.
"Right away"?
I'm sorry, Kenta-kun.
Something came up and I have to go back now.
Eh?!
Is there something wrong?
About that...
Noburin suddenly said that he want to see me.
What are you saying?!
You're the one who invited them to seat here.
It's gonna be okay. It's not like you don't know them.
I'm sorry but I have to go first.
I'll see you again.
Yes.
Then I'm counting on you, Momoko.
See you.
Eh? Wait...
I'm counting on you, Momoko.
Without honorific...
Koharu.
You can't grow if you don't eat your lunch box.
I ate bread that sold at school so I'm fine.
I already told you not to make it.
Okay!
Then I'll do my best to make tastier lunch box.
Here go.
Uhm~
- Delicious. - That's great!
That's great. Kenta-kun.
Yeah. I'm going to get more juice.
Don't spill it, okay?
Yeah.
Ah...
You didn't tell nursery school that you're separated.
That is hard to tell them.
But they'll know sooner or later, right?
Don't tell Yumika-sensei.
I won't.
Can I trust you?
You must not tell her.
You got it?
Why do you talk like giving me order...
No, no... That's not an order but a favor.
It doesn't sound like asking for a favor...
You're so troublesome.
Troublesome? I just worry about you.
Are you fighting?
Fighting?
No, no. We're not fighting.
I was just having a talk with her.
Right?
Yeah. That's right.
Then, you're good friends?
Good friends?
Yeah. We're good friends, right?
Hey, come on!
Ah... Uhm.
Good friends!
Yeah! We're good friends!
Wow! It's so nice that Papa and Mama are good friends.
Papa and Mama?
You're wrong. You're wrong.
This is fun.
Yeah.
It's fun, right?
Let the three of us come here again.
Again?
Momoko. It's a promise, okay?
Ah...
Yeah. I promise.
♬～Pinky promise.
♬～If you're lying, I'll make you swallow a thousand needles.
♬～Pinky promised!
Yes. It's Little Snow, home care service for sick children.
Yes. 37.9 Celsius. - Okay. Bye now.
Yes.
I understand. It's a cold, right?
Yes. I'll be there by 7:30. I'll see you then.
Teppei-kun.
Please take care of this too.
Okay.
Asahina-san's still not in yet?
No. I couldn't contact him.
It's really rare for him to come in late.
Asahina just called me.
Koharu-chan got a fever.
Is that so?
Oh, no!
But, later today he has a meeting at Kanagawa Hospital.
That's right.
That's why I want someone to go to Asahina's home.
Should I go?
No. We're short-handed.
And I can't let a chief like you go to a colleague's place.
Well, then...
Sugisaki.
You go.
Me?
Come in.
Pardon my intrusion.
I'm Sugisaki Momoko.
Today, please be kind to me.
She has a fever at 37.8 Celsius.
After lunch, please give her this medicine.
Ah! Okay.
Her lunch is right here.
Okay.
Koharu, get along with Momo-chan, okay?
If there's anything call me anytime.
Yes.
Then, I'll leave her to you.
Yes.
I'll be going.
I have nice trip.
Koharu-chan's mother is so beautiful.
Has your mother also gone out today?
What?!
Eh? Did I say something weird?
My mother died 3 years ago.
Eh?
It will be 3 years soon, right?
Since Koyuki-san passed away.
It was so hard for him to get over it.
No, not yet.
He being so cheerful is the proof that he's forcing himself.
He's trying really hard.
He makes lunch box for Koharu-chan everyday...
Even though she hasn't eaten it once.
Koharu-chan. It's time for your lunch.
I don't want it.
Why? You're not hungry?
I don't want to eat foods that person made.
That person...
Don't say thing like that.
Let eat, okay?
Why there's two of them?
Koharu. Finish your lunch.
And grow bigger.
Momo-chan too. Grow bigger.
Eh?! He made your share too.
So lame!
Why are you crying?
Lunch box...
This is the first time...
Someone has made it for me.
Where's my lunch box?
I forgot that there's one more person.
There's no dinner for a liar!
Delicious.
It's delicious.
What's with her?
You're just eating.
It's delicious.
Lunch box that your dad made...
Is full of love.
It's delicious.
It's really delicious.
Delicious.
Then, please taking care of it.
[307 - Sugisaki Seiichiro]
Mom, we have to take him home as soon as possible.
Even if you say that... What should I do?
I can't take care of him at my place.
It's already hard for me that my father-in-law is becoming senile.
Right from the start, we didn't think we would rely on you.
Yuuki, you still don't know Momoko's whereabouts?
She must be hiding somewhere.
How can you say it so leisurely?
If you hire a private detective, he'll find her right away.
We don't need to waste money and still can find her.
For Mom's sake, I'll definitely find her.
I thought I didn't need a third child.
If it's like this, it can't be helped.
Because...
I don't want my adorable children to have to take care of you.
Her fever went down from 37.8 Celsius to 36.7 Celsius.
Okay.
Her cough was nearly gone.
I think she can go to school tomorrow.
It's perfect.
Thank you. You saved me today.
And then... thank you about the lunch box.
It's really delicious.
I was moved.
And...
Momo-chan!
Yes?
Koharu ate her lunch box.
Eh?
The lunch box that I made...
She ate all of it!
Yes. You can tell just by looking.
What...
Thank you!
Thank you so much!
Why are you making a big deal about your child eating the lunch box?!
Koharu~
I'm glad. I'm really glad.
Okay!
Tomorrow, I'll make something even tastier.
You finished it!
[Izakaya Sakuranbo]
Good evening.
Momo-chan, welcome.
Welcome.
Your colleague is here.
You can seat here.
Please excuse me.
Here. Bring it out.
Eh?!
Get to work!
Okay. Okay.
How was Asahina-san's case?
Koharu-chan has gotten better.
She ate all her lunch.
Eh? She ate it?
Eh? Wait... Her lunch box?
The lunch box that Asahina made?
Yes. That lunch box.
I can't believe it.
What kind of trick did you do?
Eh? What kind of trick?
He made a lunch box for me as well.
I was so happy like I was dreaming and I ate it.
And then when I noticed...
Koharu-chan was also eating.
Is that mean because your mental age's close, you can surprisingly get along well?
Eh?
Until now, Koharu-chan had never eaten it once.
The lunch box that Asahina-san made.
Really?
One one went there could make her eat it.
Thanks for waiting. A set of meal for one.
Thank you very much.
That's your achievement, Momo-chan.
You must be happy, right?
Yes.
Jut her eating the lunch box could make him that happy?!
Parents are all like that.
Looking at the empty lunch box, it's like my child and I having a mutual understanding.
It's a happy thing.
But I just ate it because I was hungry.
You're not cute at all.
That's why you always have one serving...
Mutual understanding with your child?
Mom. What do we have for today?
Fried shrimp and hamburger.
It looks delicious!
Where's my lunch box?
Oh, no! I forgot there's one more person.
We ran out of ingredients.
Here.
Why is your mouth so big?
So that...
I can eat you in one bite.
GRRRRR!
Not good! Not good!
What would happen if you scare the child who doesn't feel good like that?!
You're right.
Grrrrr~
That doesn't make any impact.
Hello. We're Little Snow.
Ah...
Okay.
Someone will be there shortly.
Momo-chan.
Yes.
It's Sasaki Yui-chan that you took charge of last time.
She has an abdominal pain again and had to leave nursery school early.
Since yesterday she complained about a stomach ache.
We went to pediatrics but they didn't know the cause.
Are you okay?
Can you go to her?
Yes.
Okay.
You got bigger again. Yeah!
Yeah! You ate! You ate!
Oh~ You ate!
You got bigger.
Oh! You ate and got bigger!
Yeah!
Eat and get bigger, okay?
And then get even bigger. Yeah.
She didn't eat rice porridge again.
What should I do?
Excuse me...
Yui-chan...
Maybe she doesn't have a stomach ache.
What do you mean?
Instead of rice porridge, she ate sweets and ice cream.
She vigorously played her game.
If you had a stomach ache you couldn't be able to do that.
What is that mean?
Perhaps...
Yui-chan feigns illness...
About her stomach ache.
Feigns illness?
You... You're telling me that she lied?
No. I just think that...
It's be great if you can have a good talk with Yui-chan and understand her.
Stop your nonsense!
No matter what others say, if she say that her stomach hurts...
I'll let her absent from nursery school.
If her parents don't believe her...
Who would believe her?!
It's you again?!
I'm really sorry.
Well, seeing you lowering your head on your own accord means that...
You know you had violated the rules in the manual.
Yes. I'm sorry.
Unless you change the way you selfishly do things...
I can't acknowledge you as our caregiver for sick childen.
Don't forget that!
Well, the mother didn't put in any complaint.
You noticed her feigning illness...
And you think that the mother who's the closest to her didn't know about it?
Eh?
Her mother must have noticed about it too.
Eh?
Then, why didn't she say anything if she knew?
Why...
Momo-chan. Come with me.
I think I can relate with Yui-chan's mother.
Before, Koharu also feigned illness.
Koharu-chan did that?
When my wife was hospitalized...
Koharu was just in grade 1.
She told me that she had a stomach ache...
And took a break from elementary school.
She must have wanted her mother to be with her.
At that time, what did you do?
I believed.... everything that Koharu told me.
She wanted to be with her mother so much that she lied afer all.
It'd have been so sad if I had denied those feelings.
Even when they noticed that their child's lying, they still believe him.
There are parents...
Who choose to do that.
Hey dad, when we went out today...
I didn't ask you to buy me anything.
Was I a good child?
If you're a good child...
"Noticed his lie but still believe him."
Good grief!
You wandered around until this late.
Do you know your fault, Momoko?
But, Onii-chan...
How cunning of you?! Blaming it on your brother.
There's no dinner for a liar.
I wouldn't get it.
Since no one believed me.
You're a good child because you didn't ask to buy anything.
Yeah. Good child. Good child.
If I'm a good child, please buy me something as a reward.
I just praised you...
She took a day off from nursery school again?
Uhm.
She said that she had a stomach ache.
The hospital said there wasn't anything particularly wrong with her, right?
It's just feigned illness.
You too...
Even you knew about it, right?
The home care service charges more than your earnings.
We don't have that kind of money to waste.
But, it's our duty as her parents to believe in her, isn't it?
You're really navie!
Because you're like that that she's lying.
I got it.
It's okay if I take her to nursery school. Right?
If I take her there...
Mama. My stomach hurts.
Yui, your stomach doesn't really hurt, right?
You say that so you don't have to go to nursery school, right?
I knew about it.
Good morning.
Hello.
Yui-chan, it's great that you can go to nursery school today. Right?
Yui-chan, are you okay?
It seems Yui-chan's having a stomach ache...
It's feigned illness anyway.
Yui. Let's go.
But...
[Toyosu Ohisama Nursery School]
Good morning.
Yui-chan?
Good morning.
We're Little Snow, home care service for sick children.
Ah, yes.
You're Sasaki Yui-chan's mother?
At nursery school?
Ah, is that so?
I'll be there right away.
What's wrong with Yui-chan?
Uhm...
She's at nursery school and having a stomach ache.
Just as I thought.
Her mother can't come to pick her up.
Eh?
Isn't it fegined illness again?
Even her mom has exhausted from this.
That can't be helped.
I'll go to her nursery school now and take her to a hospital.
Excuse me!
Maybe, Yui-chan really has a stomach ache.
Momo-chan.
You go with me.
Yes.
Yui-chan. We arrived at the hospital.
Okay.
Acute gastroenteritis?
That's right. It probably started aching since yesterday.
Is that so?
Give her water little by little.
And let her rest for today.
Thank you very much.
Yui-chan.
It must be painful, right?
- Ah, welcome home - Welcome home.
Thanks.
Just as I told you on the phone.
Yui-chan's abdominal pain was caused by acute gastroenteritis.
But if she rests for today, she'll be okay.
What can I do?!
She lied time and time again.
I was exhausted being the only one who believed her.
I understand your feelings.
How did she become someone who can lie nonchalantly?
Yui-chan...
I don't think that she's someone who can lie nonchalantly.
Ah... Momo-chan...
You also said that she feigned illness.
Yes.
I... didn't believe Yui-chan.
But...
Just you... As her mother, please believe her .
You said it, didn't you?
"If her parents don't believe her..."
"Who would believe her?"
If her parents don't believe her...
Who would believe her?!
I've never been told something like that...
That's why I couldn't understand very well.
But...
I thought that it's so nice.
I thought that being believed by your parents is so nice.
Of course, I know that lying isn't a good thing.
But...
Please understand Yui-chan's feeling for wanting to be with you.
Mama, please don't be mad.
Mama didn't do anything wrong.
It's Yui's fault.
Yui-chan.
I lied to you.
I lied to you a lot.
Mama.
You won't come to pick me up again?
Yui.
Yui-chan.
That's not true.
Your mom will always believe you.
But today...
Your mom...
Was just tired.
Yui.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry, I didn't believe you until the end.
Mama, I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
It's so great.
Yui-chan and her mom.
You're right.
When I see the figure of a mother and a child like that...
It's just so unbearable.
In my case, Koharu can't see her mother anymore.
Koharu had lied to be with her mother.
Asahina-san.
I couldn't do anything but to forgive her.
It's because I took her mother away from her.
It's going to be okay!
Eh?
I... don't know anything about Asahina-san.
But, I'm sure it's gonna be okay.
I think...
Your feelings will be conveyed to Koharu-chan properly.
Thank you, Momo-chan.
Ah... excuse me.
Okay.
Hello?
Momoko?
Sugisaki Yuuki is your brother, right?
Eh?
Just now when I wasn't around, he went here.
I wonder why he came...
Momo-chan?
Ah! Let's hide.
Momoko. Momoko. Momoko.
This way. This way.
Before we find the demon, don't come out, okay?
Okay.
Good! Bye-bye.
Good grief!
You wandered around until this late.
Do you know your fault, Momoko?
But, Onii-chan...
How cunning of you?! Blaming it on your brother.
There's no dinner for a liar.
Mom, second helping.
Sure. Eat plenty, okay?
Second helping.
Okay. Kaori, do you want more?
There's still more.
Hello? Mom?
Yuuki? What's wrong?
Did you find Momoko?
No. I haven't found her yet.
But maybe, I'm getting close to her.
Hurry up and find her.
