Hello?
Momoko.
Sugisaki Yuuki is your brother, right?
Eh?
Just now when I wasn't around, he came to my nursery school.
Momo-chan?
Momoko?
Are you listening, Momoko?
Ah, sorry Yumika. What did you say?
If your brother comes here again, should I give him your contact information?
NO!
Ah, sorry...
If he comes again, can you tell him that you didn't see me?
Okay.
I'll do that.
There's times when you don't get along with parents and siblings, right?
Yeah.
Then, I'll see you again.
Ah... I'm sorry for taking so long.
It's okay.
Momo-chan. Did something happen?
Ah, no. Nothing.
Uhm?
I... I'm leaving first.
Eh?
For some time now, childcare for sick children is said to be the dark side of childcare.
[Ohashi Hanae's Talk Show]
They should at least be with their parents when they sick.
Ohashi-san, have you ever got hurt by those heartless words?
Of course, I have.
Every working mother would hear that at least once.
Am I right, everyone?
Coming from that dark side of childcare...
Little Snow wants to help all of you.
That is wonderful!
My child rearing supporting website, Angel Net,...
Which has 15,000 members...
I think we can do something to help.
That is such a large network.
By all means, please team up with Little Snow to bring...
Mama!
Mama! Mama!
Himeka-chan, you can't come up here.
Himeka-chan, come with me.
Ah! Himeka-chan! No!
I'm really sorry.
From now on, please lend us your strength to expand childcare for sick children.
Likewise, I'm looking forward to our cooperation.
Mama. I'm hungry.
Okay. Just a minute.
Himeka-chan, good evening.
Ouch!
Himeka-chan, where's your apology to Yanagi-san?
Himeka-chan! Hold on...
Then Yanagi-san, from now on please take care of us.
Himeka-chan, wait for me.
Hold on, Himeka-chan.
[She's Listening to "Jugemu", a famous Japanese folktale]
I see. It's such an auspicious name.
Taking about Jugemu...
It means a limitless life. It's really auspicious.
Jugemu Jugemu Goko no Surikire Kaijarisuigyo no...
Suigyomatsu Unraimatsu Furaimatsu Kuunerutokoro ni Sumutokoro...
Yaburakoji no Burakoji Paipopaipo Paipo...
They're all auspicious names.
He said that he will take all the names.
Then, the child grows up.
Stop that! Stop that!
He still didn't wake up.
Come one. Don't be like that.
My Jugemu Jugemu Goko no Surikire...
Oba-chan, it's gonna be late so I'll go first.
[Sugisaki Momoko's Progress Report on Sasaki Yui-chan]
What's with this report?!
Uhm?
She worked really hard.
Don't get it wrong.
For a report, it's not the length that counts.
Writing a report without staying on the main points...
Showing that she has a poor working manner on site.
Momo-chan is improving one step at a time.
She will be a caregiver for sick children that we'll send out with confidence.
But it doesn't change the fact that she is a risk to our company.
Looking at Momo-chan...
I got reminded once again.
The most important thing in this job...
Is to visit the children one by one...
And wholeheartedly care for them.
That's such a idealistic thought.
Little Snow's splendid growth as a business...
Don't you think above anything else, it is for Koyuki?
- Asahina-san, please take care of this. - Thanks, Tetsu-chan.
Yes. We're Little Snow, home care for sick children.
Please take care of this too.
Okay.
Ito Maika-chan, from 8:00 AM, requested for Masayo-san.
- Yes! - Okay!
That's to expected from Masayo-san.
So many requests for you.
They must feel relieved having an old lady as a caregiver.
It's really great being requested by the children.
Basically, I'll leave it to whoever wants to go.
Unless the requested person is available.
The first time I got requested, I were really happy.
Well, it'll be a problem if it becomes like a popularity contest.
You shouldn't be bothered about it.
Yes.
Yes. We're Little Snow.
Thanks as always.
Eh?
Yes.
Okay.
Yes.
Momo-chan.
Yes?
Congratulation!
Eh?
First request for you came in.
Eh?
First request for me?
37.5 Celsius Tears
- Episode 3
First request...
[301 - Shinohara]
It was from Kenta-kun's home.
Wow! It's so nice that Papa and Mama are good friends.
You're wrong! You're wrong!
It's a bit awkward.
Momoko!
Kenta-kun, good morning.
Shinohara-san, what are you making?
What am I making? Can you tell just by looking?
I'm asking because I can't tell from that.
Omelet rice.
It's not omelet rice, Kenta-kun.
It is omelet rice!
Eh?
But the egg...
It's done!
Kenta.
You'll eat omelet rice for lunch and get better quickly, okay?
Yeah.
That's so great, right? Kenta-kun.
- Come with me. - Oh! What is it?
My dad built this building.
Wow!
Are you working in architecture?
Yeah.
This mansion and this too.
Wow! Your dad's really great!
Hey, if you don't keep your tone down, you'll get an asthma attack again.
I'm okay.
Since eating with you at the family restaurant...
Kenta seemed to become a bit cheerful.
That's why today, Kenta asked for you no matter what.
Is that so?
He also didn't ask much about his mother.
Ah...
It's not like that I requested for you.
I know that much.
Okay. I have a briefing today but I'll come home in the evening.
Be a good kid, okay?
Yes. Papa, have a nice trip.
Okay.
Have a nice trip.
Kenta-kun, let me take your temperature.
Okay.
Come here.
[Sugisaki Momoko: Tottori Station]
For Sugisaki Momoko to be requested, isn't it going to snow?
With this, I hope Momo-chan will also get her confidence.
We'll get to it.
Just now, it was from the family that Risa-chan was appointed to.
They asked if we can change another caregiver.
Why is that?
Was there any problem?
They're worried because she's young.
Such a thing...
Isn't that too heartless?!
If she made some kind of mistakes, I would understand.
Okay. I'll talk to them.
- Please do. - I'm sure that they'll understand.
Stop that!
Let Megumi-san take her place immediately.
Yanagi-san.
Risa-chan is young but she is a very skilled caregiver for sick children.
I don't think the parents can complain anything about her.
Isn't it okay for them to complain?
Eh?
The parents are clients.
The advantage of home care for sick children is that...
We can provide the services that meet every client's needs.
We should change the caregiver as they desire.
Then, what will become of Risa-chan?
If you allow such thing, she'll lose confidence as a caregiver.
Don't get it wrong!
In this job, avoiding complaints from clients are more important.
You're the one who got it wrong! Yanagi-san!
If it's like this, everyone will lose heart.
I won't change my mind.
Anyway, I'll get going.
I'll have a good talk with Risa-chan.
Please take care of it.
Megumi-san. This is their address.
Okay. Thank you.
Shinohara-san?
Welcome home.
Who are you?
Then, who are you?
Saying "welcome home"? You're Shinohara's woman, right?
No! I'm from child care for sick children...
What's with him?!
When he knew I was cheating he harshly criticized me and yet...
It's really irritated!
Is that mean you're his wife?
That's right.
We haven't divorced just yet.
Really! Don't think you can put your guard down in my absence.
Ah, excuse me... it's a misunderstanding.
I'm a caregiver for sick children.
Caregiver for sick children?
Yes.
Why? Kenta's not feeling well?
He's not going to nursery school?
Yes. Last night he had an asthma attach so just in case...
Hold... hold on! He's having a nap right now.
I'm his mother. What's so wrong for seeing my son?
- No. It just... - I'm back.
Kumiko!
You... Why did you come here for?
This is my home.
Do I have to get your permission to come in?
It's you who got a man and moved out.
Speaking for yourself. You also brought a woman here.
Don't put me together with you!
Hold it!
Please calm down.
Uhm~
So this is what you like?
- Your preference's bad. - What?!
You...
In hell she's my preference.
"In hell" you said?
You're also not my preference.
It's not for you to say!
Ah! I'm sorry!
Hurry up and put your seal on this.
You want to divorce and live with that man?
That doesn't concern you.
You'll wake up Kenta-kun.
Shut up!
Is it fun at school?
Not really.
Uhm~
But I'm really happy that you eat your lunch box.
That person...
Uhm?
She said that she's never had lunch box made for her.
Eh?
Ah, Momo-chan?
Yeah.
I wonder if her mom and dad never made it for her.
Come to think of it, I've never heard anything about her family.
It's not that I care.
Okay.
Hey, Koharu.
It's your mother's death anniversary tomorrow.
Let's visit her grave together.
Since last year, you haven't gone once.
I'll pick you up after school.
Okay?
I'll refill for you.
Really? Kenta-kun requested for you.
That's good for you.
Ah! Don't tell me... Kenta-kun's dad is Momoko's type?
It's not like that.
I was really troubled today. His wife...
Kenta-kun's dad is quite a handsome man.
Well, it's nothing to do with us since he's already married.
Yeah.
Kenta-kun's mom is a manicurist.
She's really a fashionable beauty.
Couples like that are really admirable, right?
Right?
I don't feel admirable at all.
Itadakimasu.
Ah, right.
Since then, did my brother come to your nursery school again?
No, he didn't come.
Ah, I dropped it.
Is that so?
I'm gonna eat Nukazuke pickle.
Yeah.
[Sugisaki]
Where's Momoko? You still haven't found her?
I thought I would find her right away.
But she's unexpectedly hiding very well.
The one helped her when she was in trouble was her family.
For Pete's sake, Momoko only thinks of herself.
Don't worry.
That girl will come back.
Without me, she can't do anything.
Jugemu Jugemu Goko no Surikire...

Welcome home.
Yeah.
Did you buy cake for today?
Dad, welcome home!
- Cake! Cake! - Okay. Okay.
- Hurry up! - They'll get cold.
Gurindai no Ponpokopi no Ponpokona no...
Chokyumei no Chosuke-san.
[Izakaya Sakuranbo]
Thanks for waiting.
Thank you.
Eh? Wait... Omelet rice?
You have this on the menu?
Yes. It's on an exclusive menu just for Yanagi-san.
Really?!
I didn't know that.
Delicious!
I'm sorry for suddenly sending you out today.
It's okay.
It's been awhile since I last saw Yanagi-san and Asahina-san having an argument.
Yes.
You used to have heated discussions very often.
His principles are different from mine.
Koyuki-san said it, didn't she?
You two are like the top and the bottom of a snow man.
Since you're different, you complement each other.
Missing either of you is no good.
When you first got together that was when you're completed.
It's not good if Asahina-san doesn't listen to what Yanagi-san says.
It's also not good if Yanagi-san doesn't listen to what Asahina-san says.
Asahina looks like that but he's actually stubborn.
Like when hiring Sugisaki Momoko, in the end I had to give in to him.
Was that what happened?
Looking at Sugisaki Momoko, she reminds me of you from the old days.
If I don't keep an eye on her, I don't know what she would do.
Don't you think she resembles you from when Little Snow was just established?
Rather than me, I think Sugisaki-san...
Resembles Koyuki-san, isn't she?
Probably not.
Somehow, I have that feeling.
Thanks.
Tomorrow is Koyuki-chan's death anniversary, right?
Yes.
That's right.
Koyuki-chan has died for 3 years.
It went by so fast.
It was fast.
But it was also slow.
So many things happened in the past 3 years.
Huh?
Momo-chan is the only one who doesn't have any plan for summer vacation.
Ah... Whenever is fine with me.
Eh?
You don't have any plan for summer vacation?
Like travel with friends?
Ah... nothing in particular.
Then, you should go home for Obon Festival.
Your parents must be lonely without you.
Ah...
By the way, I've never heard about it.
Momo-chan, how does your family look like?
Ah...
We're pretty ordinary.
Ordinary?!
Yes.
We just got a request from my acquaintance.
Ohashi Himeka-chan, 5 years old. Having a cold.
The mother is Ohashi Hanae-san.
Ah! The one we had a talk show with.
She often appears on TV as a commentator, right?
She's beautiful. Rich people are so different.
She has tremendous trust from the mothers in her network.
She's an important client.
We can't afford to make any mistake.
Please let me go.
As one would expect from our most requested staff.
- Then, Masayo-san... - Sugisaki.
You go.
Eh?
Me?
If you cause any trouble, there won't be a second chance.
Yes...
Such a big house.
As one would expect from a celebrity.
Himeka-chan is having a cold and a fever of 37.8 Celsius.
For her lunch, I have her favorite sandwiches in the refrigerator.
Okay.
As for snack, let she have whatever she likes whenever she wants.
Whatever she like...
Since I'm worry about her...
Please email me about her progress in every 30 minutes.
As detail as possible.
Every 30 minutes? I got it.
Mama!
Mama! Mama!
Don't go to work.
Himeka-chan. I'll buy you a lot of presents.
Be a good girl and wait for me with this Onee-san, okay?
Wait with me, okay?
Ouch!
That's rude, Himeka-chan.
Please listen to whatever Himeka-chan says.
I feel bad for her that she can't go anywhere because of her cold.
I'll get going then.
Ah... Please have a nice trip.
Onee-san, let's play tag.
Play tag?
You have a fever. Is it okay to play?
Himeka will be the demon.
You want to be the demon?
Onee-san. Run away.
Wait...
Ah! Okay!
Wait! Scary! Scary! Scary!
Wait! It's dangerous!
At the present...
The awareness about home care for sick children is still low.
[Ohashi Hanae]
Please excuse me.
Ohashi-san, hello. Did Sugisaki do anything?
Complaint?
Ohashi-san, after seeing the report you sent her,...
Was really angry.
But I do just as she said.
You let Himeka-chan act as demon when playing tag with her, right?
Yes.
What about it?
Ohashi-san said that she felt sorry for her to just play as demon...
And she wondered why you didn't change place with her.
But Himeka-chan said being a demon was more fun, so she kept doing it.
Don't just do as the child's wishes...
You also have to compromise with her guardian's request and personality.
That's what a caregiver should do.
Yes...
I'm sorry.
But she told me to listen to Himeka-chan.
Thank you very much.
Thanks for coming by.
Is Momo-chan okay?
Did Ohashi-san say something?
It's okay. You don't have to worry.
Yanagi-san.
Why did you let Momo-chan go?
Dissatisfied?
No.
It's just a bit surprising.
Even though you said that you would be responsible for Sugisaki Momoko...
You don't trust her at all.
Eh?
I've told Sugisaki...
I wouldn't give her another chance.
She has that much of resolution.
Himeka-chan's lunch looks really amazing.
I'm so pathetic.
What? Your mother don't know how to make lunch box?
Ah, no.
I made this myself.
Just that?
I feel sorry for you.
No.
I like white cooked rice and Nukazuke pickles so it's okay.
Uhm~
I want to eat that too.
Eh?
I want to eat that.
Ah...
I want to eat that!
Himeka-chan, I'm sorry.
This is my food so I can't give it to you.
Your mom has made delicious sandwiches for you.
You should eat that.
No way. No way.
Wait... You can't...
I hate you!
Ah...
I made her mad.
Koharu.
I'm not going.
Why?
Today's your mother's dead anniversary.
It's not like I can see mom at her grave.
It might be so.
I just...
Want to...
Go to your mother's grave with you.
Why are you so against it?
If I go to her grave...
It will remind me...
That mom was no longer here.
Koharu.
You should go by yourself.
[Yanagi Chikara]
Hello?
How many complaints you'll get in just a day?
What did I do wrong?
The complaints this time is that...
You didn't give Himeka-chan's the foods she wanted.
Eh?
But according to the manual, to prevent allergy and food poisoning...
We're not supposed to give the kids the foods we bring with us.
That's why I...
Why do you think we have manual?
That's to prevent complaints from clients.
On top of keeping the rules...
Pretending troubles is also a professional's job.
In the first place, it's your fault for created a situation where Himeka-chan got to like your foods.
Okay! Himeka-chan, let take your temperature.
Himeka-chan?
Himeka-chan. Be a good girl and don't move.
No! Don't come over here.
Himeka-chan. It's my fault.
Please get back in.
No way!
Himeka-chan, are you okay?
Let me go! Let me go!
Did you get hurt anywhere?
I'm so glad.
I'm so glad that you didn't get hurt.
I don't care...
About the manual.
Himeka-chan.
It's okay to hate me, so listen well.
You can't throw things at people.
And, more than anything...
You can't do dangerous things that could harm yourself.
Hey, what are you doing?
Mama!
Himeka-chan. What happened?
Are you okay?
Hey! What did you do to Himeka?
I really wanted to come with Koharu.
I'm sorry.
I'm no good.
I can't understand Koharu's feelings at all.
Am I...
Not good enough?
If...
you were here...
What would you say to Koharu...
I'm always wondering about that.
I will not forgive you.
You let Himeka-chan go through that terrible experience.
If anything were to happen to her how would you take responsibility?
I'm sorry.
I... will sue you.
Eh?
Sending someone like you, Yanagi-san of Little Snow's also guilty.
That...
Who could it be? Right at this time...
You came at the right time.
I was just about to contact you.
Yanagi-san.
I'm sorry for wasn't able to provide the childcare service that would satisfy you.
She is really horrible.
Himeka-chan was about to fall from the top of the stair and she was just watching.
If thing had went wrong she would have been badly hurt.
I didn't...
It was my incompetent as her supervisor.
I will instruct her so that it won't happen next time.
There's no next time.
This person...
Please fire her.
I...
Can't do that.
Eh?
What did you say?
She's still inexperienced, but...
Sugisaki Momoko is an important staff of Little Snow.
I can't fire her.
Yanagi-san.
Now you're covering up for your staff, right?
If you don't fire her, I'll do it my way.
If I use my influence...
I can easily crush your company.
Sugisaki.
Yes...
Let's go back.
Eh?
Hurry up!
Yes.
Yanagi-san. What do you mean by this?
I'm sorry for didn't meet your expectation.
I'm really sorry.
Because of her, you don't care what's going to happen to your company?
Please excuse us.
I'll take my leave.
Onee-san!
Himeka-chan, you should be sleeping.
Himeka-chan.
What's wrong?
Is it hurt here?
Ah... no. I'm fine.
I'm sorry.
Himeka-chan.
What are you saying, Himeka-chan?
Because of her, you had to experience such terrible thing.
- Mama - Huh?
Onee-san...
She saved me by catching me into her arms.
Onee-san, I'm sorry.
No. It's okay.
I'm really sorry.
I'm so happy that Yanagi-san stood up for me.
Don't get it wrong!
I didn't protect you.
I was only protecting Little Snow.
In cases like today, there will be complaint whoever I send out.
And even if I fire the staff...
It won't stop the other party's unreasonable demands.
From the beginning, I've resolved to deal with any problems.
That's my way of taking responsibility.
I forgot to say, but...
You did well, catching a 5 years old girl with your slender arms.
I was glad that we stopped the complaint.
Thank you very much.
I'll do my best.
I'll become a proper member of Little Snow.
Member of Little Snow?
There's a place that I want you to go with me.
Yanagi-san.
Momo-chan.
You came.
Yeah.
Today is my wife's death anniversary.
Koharu-chan's mother?
Yes.
I was rejected by Koharu.
Asahina Koyuki-san?
Perhaps, this is Little Snow...
[Koyuki = Little Snow]
Home care service for sick children...
Was Koyuki's dream.
Name for our company?
Little Snow?
Koyuki...
Is it about me?
Don't get it wrong!
I just wanted to give Koyuki's dream a shape.
This is Yanagi-san.
This is Asahina-san.
And this is me.
Little Snow is our dream.
I said it.
Little Snow...
Is an important place for the 3 of us.
Your place...
Koyuki.
Momo-chan made Koharu eat her lunch box.
She's a new member of Little Snow.
You knew from the start, right?
That Momo-chan could handle Ohashi's family.
Don't get it wrong!
I just thought if we were to get complaints anyway, it should be against someone who is used to it.
I'm not getting it wrong.
Yanagi-san, you never change.
Same for you.
I have received your reservation for tomorrow.
Please wait for a moment.
Excuse me...
Just to be on the safe side...
My family is a bit complicated.
What do you mean by complicated?
I have a child from my previous marriage.
My current husband also has a child.
Mama.
We finally moved him back home.
I don't want this.
I have to see your father in that state everyday.
It's okay, mom.
Look.
Childcare for sick children?
I'll see you soon, Momoko.
Let's go back. Momo-chan.
To Little Snow.
Yes.
