Welcome.
"Nurse, Natsumi Mihara"
"Nurse Yukino Fujii" Thanks for waiting!
Natsumi! You look so cute.
Well, I haven't been to a dating party in a while. I'm going for it!
Today, we're meeting with Shirogane Products's best, so be excited!
Shirogane Products? Good job, Yukino!
Oh? Erina is not here yet?
Erina had to cancel at the last minute...
Really? Then what are we going to do?
Three are coming, right? The numbers won't match.
Yes, so I asked another person...
Another person?
Thank you for waiting!
That voice, could it be?
"Newbie Nurse, Haruka Tachibana" Mihara!
Tachibana.
Thank you for inviting me today.
I didn't invite you.
Why did it have to be Tachibana?
I'm sorry.
This is my first dating party.
I heard nurses are popular, so I can't wait!
What? You've never been to a dating party, Tachibana?
No.
Are you going to be okay?
Yes! I educated myself before I came here.
First you start by introducing yourself, right?
By the way, please don't glare at the others like this.
I won't do such a thing.
Hey! Could you take these two things off?
And I think you both know,
I am very serious about marriage hunting.
If there is a good guy, you hand him over to me.
What? I want to meet someone too!
Hey! Are you aware of the word "seniority"?
Yes.
Good evening.
- Good evening. - I will take your stuff.
They look pretty good.
- Yes! - Yes, yes.
Smile!
Sorry to make you wait.
Not at all.
Excuse me.
Let's introduce ourselves then.
I'm Yamada, nice to meet you.
Nice to meet you.
I'm Shimizu. I've been looking forward to today. Nice to meet you.
Nice to meet you too.
I'm Takahashi. You all seem wonderful, I'm a bit nervous.
Not at all.
Please introduce yourselves too.
Yes! I'm Yukino Fujii. Nurse at Shiki General Hospital.
Shiki General Hospital? My friend was admitted there too.
He's so delightful!
It's here, it's here, it's here!
Mihara, that's your type?
Ouch!
Oh, you stand up to introduce yourself? You are spirited!
Yes! I'm a newbie nurse, Haruka Tachibana. I'm 21 years old!
- Twenty-one years old? - You are young.
You are new?
Yes!
Hey! What did you say your age for? Are you being nasty to me?
Oh, I'm sorry.
I'm Natsumi Mihara, I'm a little bit more experienced nurse.
Well...
but nurses sure are great.
They are gentle and very caring.
Oh, is that so?
Everyone, you really are like an angel in uniform.
An angel in uniform? Oh my!
Mihara, are you trying to act cute?
Ouch!
A newbie nurse, Haruka Tachibana,
lam 21 years old!
We heard that already.
Right!
- Let's toast. - Yes.
Well, let's toast to this meeting, cheers!
Cheers!
It's looking good so far.
Looking good.
Right. I got this one today!
This part hurts. Do you think it's intercostal neuralgia?
My stomach has been hurting for a week. Is it stomach ulcer?
I'm not sure.
Lately, I'm out of breath a lot.
I see.
I've had acute pancreatitis before, so my stomach gets upset easily.
That may be affected by pancreatitis.
Hey, I have a hard time sleeping lately. Am I okay?
It you are concerned, you should go see a doctor.
Right.
What is this?
You sure are a veteran nurse!
You are so reliable.
- Can I ask you one more thing? - Oh, me too!
I want to ask her!
- I want to ask her too! - No, I'm asking.
I'm serious here.
Hey!
Tachibana?
What's up with you guys?
You know Mihara is serious about today's dating party!
All you talk about is your health?
If you are asking questions, ask something romantic!
I'm sorry.
Oh?
"Nasugamama" Everything is ruined because of you!
What? You didn't know what to do either!
It's quite common for a dating party to turn into
health consultations.
Once that part was over, I was sure to make it exciting.
It happens to nurses all the time.
I see.
It's not just with my work, but she criticised me at a dating party.
"Mayu Murakami, Takako Ono" Dating party? How nostalgic!
- Chief nurse and Ono! - What? Are you reviewing?
- Excuse me! - Two draught beers!
Yes.
Ask me anything.
I used to be called the dating party boss.
There were bosses in high school too...
It's not that kind of boss.
There are more common things at dating parties.
Just because I'm alcohol tolerant, they get disappointed
that their impression of angel in uniform is ruined.
Oh, if I mention any dirty jokes, then they are turned off.
That's common!
So dating parties are tough too, then.
Right, the general public thinks we're popular,
but it's not that easy.
Oh no!
Let's toast!
Cheers!
Mihara, don't you have any possible catch from the marriage place?
A possible catch? It's not that easy.
I'm stepping up as one of your marriage candidates.
What? The head nurse?
Was he serious about that?
Oh? You have someone new.
No, it's not new at all. It's rather old.
Old?
No, it's not like that.
Something is going on with Mihara!
Hey, but how about you? Don't you have a boyfriend, Tachibana?
I don't have a boyfriend.
What? And you are so young. Aren't you interested in anyone?
Interested?
Go home!
"Newbie nurse, Hikaru Saito"
Why him?
It's definitely not him!
Nothing.
Oh, you have someone.
Mihara.
Head nurse, hello.
- Could I talk to you for a second? - Yes.
It's about my daughter.
Well, she's living with my ex-wife right now,
and I would like you--
Oh, I'm...
really grateful of how you feel about me,
but for now, you are just one of the candidates for marriage.
I'm not at the stage where I would meet your daughter.
Ah! No, it's not like that.
Actually, early this morning, she came to urgent care.
She was diagnosed with appendicitis and so she'll be admitted.
I would like you to be in charge of her. Is that okay?
Oh, your daughter is being admitted? You want me in charge?
So that's what this is all about.
- I see. - This is heavy.
There!
Tachibana, I'm counting on you too.
What?
And, come closer.
I would like to explain a few things first.
So my daughter is... how should I put it?
Excuse me.
I'm Hirai, and she is going to be admitted here.
They are here.
Ah, hey dad!
Dad?
Saya, are you okay?
Long time no see. I will show you to your room right away, Saya.
What? Wasn't he divorced?
That's his ex-wife. Their surnames are different!
I see.
"Nurse, Erina lwasaki" He had such an old daughter.
Unexpected.
I'm sorry about this.
This is my daughter Saya. Please take care of her.
"Honjo's daughter, Saya Hirai" What's up!
What?
Head nurse's daughter is...
A delinquent?
"Nurse in Action"
Why do I have to take my makeup off?
We can't tell how you feel if you have your makeup on.
No makeup is impossible.
Well, she's a different person.
I bought your necessities for now.
This is my daughter's mother...
"Honjo's ex-wife, Miki Hirai" I'm Honjo's ex-wife, Hirai.
I'm Mihara. We always learn a lot from the head nurse.
I'm Tachibana, nice to meet you.
Thank you. Please take care of Saya.
I'm sorry that she's so wild.
Not at all. She's fine.
We have a very wild one here too.
Saya is familiar with this hospital since she was a child.
I feel safe that you are here.
Yes, leave it to me.
They had an amicable divorce?
“Doctor, Kéflchwo Y aqua“ Hey'.!
She sure is your daughter, Honjo, she's beautiful.
This is your doctor, Dr. Yagira.
Nice to meet you.
"Intern Shota Takagi"
She's diagnosed with appendicitis.
Once the inflammation is controlled with antibiotic IV,
she should be discharged in two or three days.
I'm so glad!
If the pain gets worse, it could develop into peritonitis...
then we'll have to have surgery.
It's fine! It doesn't hurt at all anymore!
You are energetic. I'll see you later, Saya.
' Okay_ See you! " See you!
You shouldn't talk to your doctor like that.
I need to go to work.
Thank you for taking care of her.
Yes, we will be here with her, so don't worry!
I am worried here.
Don't cause any problems for the nurses.
Okay-
Excuse me.
Okay, I'll leave you two in charge, Mihara and Tachibana.
- Yes. - Yes.
Wham'?
Oh? Let's get your blood pressure then.
Please take these off.
What? I can't have these either?
We can't tell the colour of your nails.
What? No makeup or manicure?
Hospital is like the worst place ever!
You say that, but you are much cuter without any makeup!
You sound just like my mother.
When you're over 20, every woman is middle-aged!
Middle-aged woman?
Well? Are you a middle-aged man then?
I'm a middle-aged woman!
So you are a middle-aged woman.
I slipped just now! I'm not a middle-aged woman or a man!
She's such a sassy delinquent!
I won't take it easy just because she's head nurse's daughter!
But a delinquent and a former delinquent is a good match.
No way! It's a completely different genre!
Genre? From my side, you two seem very much alike.
Don't group me with her!
We are on the total opposites!
I might be a totally different type than his ex-wife.
Tachibana, you are close in age with Saya,
so be nice to her, okay?
Hey, I can't believe the head nurse's daughter was a delinquent!
I've met her when I worked in the paediatric ward.
Back then, she was like an angel.
I'm sure she was pure and innocent back then.
Girls change a lot.
A daughter! How nice. I don't have any kids, so I admire that.
Really?
Girls are a lot of work.
Not at all.
She'll say "Dad, your hair is messed up from sleep,"
or something.
Oh, it is? Sorry.
Hey, don't you have too much makeup on as well?
"What? Stop!"
"Dad, you are annoying!" She might say that.
What I just said is...
I think it's inappropriate.
Time for me to head over to outpatients.
Yes.
Wasn't head nurse's wife super beautiful?
That's his ex-wife.
His wife is so wonderful, maybe he'll fall in love with her again.
That's his ex-wife.
Mihara, what's wrong? You've been acting strange.
You're right. Why do I care?
Excuse me! Where can I make a call?
Oh, okay, let's see...
It's okay to talk in the day room.
This is where you are now, so go straight here--
Isn't a male nurse sort of rare?
Well, my dad is too!
That's funny!
Did you get that?
My bad. One more time please?
What's up with her presumptuous attitude?
Tachibana, what are you upset about?
You're right. Why do I care?
"General Call, Saya Hirai"
It's Saya. What's the matter?
What should I do? It's maxed out!
It's maxed out? What is? I'll be right over!
Hirai in 3-1-1, something is maxed out. I'm heading over.
What's maxed out?
Who knows?
What's the matter?
This is maxed out! I've reached the limit for my data.
What? You were talking about your smartphone?
There's no Wi-Fi here?
No.
For real? That's so not cool. I can't watch YouTube.
Is that all you wanted?
"General Call, Fumika Tomita"
Is it Saya again?
No, it's Ms. Tomita in the same room.
What's the matter?
It's leaking a lot!
Leaking? I'll be right over.
Ms. Tomita in 3-1-1 says something is leaking, so I'm heading over.
What is leaking?
Who knows?
What's the matter?
The sound is leaking. It's been so loud.
What? A sound?
Oh, that's what you meant by leaking.
Excuse me, Ms. Hirai, could you lower your volume a little?
Saya! Lower the volume!
Be quiet in a hospital room!
Mihara, you are so loud.
Head nurse!
Give me a break!
Saya is keeping us busy all day long.
Right. I'm really sorry.
Head nurse, you are her father. Please be stern with her!
Right. Be stern as her father.
I'll talk to her sternly now!
Please!
I can't.
Head nurse.
She is my daughter, but it's not like we've been living together.
So I sort of step back a little.
Oh, it's time for me to go to a meeting as a head nurse!
I'm sorry, but please take care of the rest!
He ran!
Fathers are pushovers with their daughters.
Oh, it's time to exchange Saya's IV now.
What? Can't you go, Mihara?
How about seniority here?
What? Not for this! Newbies move first! Hurry!
- Mihara! - Stop that!
You two are in charge, so both of you go now!
Sorry.
- Excuse me. - Excuse me.
Ms. Hirai, we're changing your IV.
Oh? Where did she go?
What? I told her to be in her bed at 4:00.
"Day Room" That's so funny!
For real? That's no joke.
That's cool, right?
This is cute.
What is that?
That brat!
- Tachibana. - What is going on here!
Your face!
You put on your makeup again?
What? I can't take any pictures without any makeup.
Join us, Tachibana and Mihara.
Let's take a picture!
- Let's take one! - It'll look good.
Three, two, one, yeah!
Hey!
While you are at the hospital, you can't eat and drink as you please.
Don't be so strict.
They all came to visit me.
Right! We are visiting!
It's not even that much.
Visiting?
Wouldn't you want your friend to get better soon?
If you eat all these and be noisy, you won't get better!
Tachibana.
What? She's super scary.
She's right, you are no angel in uniform!
How annoying! Just go away already!
You are the one going away!
I will confiscate this.
Give it back!
I'm not giving it back!
Stop it!
That is enough!
Oh, I was loud.
Darn!
You must be exhausted today. Thank you.
Well, yes.
Thank you.
It was unexpected
that your daughter is a...
- Delinquent? - Yes.
- Cheers. - Cheers.
Ah!
I was shocked to see her after a long time.
I got divorced seven years ago when Saya was in fourth grade.
My wife took custody, so I only see her few times a year.
I see.
Why did you get a divorce?
There was no specific reason.
But it's that we were both busy with work and didn't spend time together.
But your ex-wife is a beautiful woman.
She handles insurance, so she's making herself look pretty.
Do you see your ex-wife often still?
I see her once a year to have a meal? She's re-married already.
Remarried?
Right. Her new husband is great and my daughter likes him too.
They seem happy as a new family.
I see.
Why am I relieved?
I'm exhausted today.
Oh no!
Oh no! Oh no!
Sake'?
What are you doing?
Tachibana! What great timing!
Come to my room! I can only count on you.
Saito? What are you saying all of a sudden? You're too up-front.
Just hurry!
What? Wait! I need to prepare myself.
- Wait, don't rush me! - Ah!
It's here!
A cockroach!
I can't handle bugs! Tachibana, please get rid of it!
What? That's why you wanted me to come to your room?
Right! Unless it's an emergency, I wouldn't ask you!
That's it!
You got rid of it already?
Oh, that's great. Thank you Tachibana.
There is definitely no possibility with you!
What do you mean?
What's up with him making me feel that way!
Feel that way? What do I mean?
I don't know if I should ask you this, Mihara...
What is it?
Is there someone special?
What? Head nurse! That's such a direct question!
It's not just someone special,
at 16, she might even have a boyfriend?
What do you think? No, she can't have one, right?
It's about your daughter.
She's my child but honestly, I don't get her.
She's a girl, and we've been living apart all this time.
I used to want...
to be a father
she could be open with and introduce her boyfriend right away.
But I guess it's not happening.
Head nurse.
But in any case, as long as she's healthy, I'm good.
I hope the inflammation will be gone so she could go home.
Right.
Ouch!
I'm going to press it a little.
Ouch!
This is rebound tenderness. What's her temperature?
It's 38 degrees Celsius.
- Let's use a pain reliever. - Yes.
- Prepare to draw blood. - Yes.
How about here?
Ouch!
Saw. Are you okay'?
Ouch! Ouch!
The fact the pain got worse may mean the antibiotics aren't working.
It's better to operate on it as soon as possible.
Why? I'm all better after taking the medicine?
It's not better. Your pain is controlled with medication.
Once your medication wears off, you'll be in pain again.
I told you that if the pain got worse,
you would have to have surgery.
I don't want a surgery! Take care of it with medication!
Appendicitis is not that serious, right?
Don't underestimate appendicitis.
If you leave it alone, it will cause peritonitis,
which could cost you your life. It's a serious illness.
Even if you try to scare me like that, I just won't do it.
Why not? It's fine. The surgery is not that complicated.
I just don't want to!
Is it because it leaves a scar?
No.
In that case, the scar is very small now,
so in two to three years, you won't even notice it.
That's too long from now!
Anyway, I'm not having this surgery!
Saw. That's enough--
That is enough!
Do you realise how everyone is worried about you?
If you leave it alone, it could have serious consequences.
Stop being a baby and get this surgery!
- No! - Get it done!
- No! - I'm telling you, get it!
Tachibana.
I'm sorry.
No matter what, you cannot yell at the patients.
Yes, I'm truly sorry.
I'm sorry.
No, it was something I had to say.
This is a problem.
Surgery of a minor could be done with consent from their parents,
but we can't force it on her.
She's always been stubborn, but I didn't realise how much.
Surgery is scary for everyone...
even if they are told that it's a simple surgery.
She's in high school, but she's still a child.
Right.
We can continue to observe her.
It won't change the fact that she needs to have this surgery.
I need to talk to her.
Saya, how are you feeling?
I understand that you don't want this surgery.
If you leave it alone, you'll be in pain again like earlier.
No, you'll be in more pain and it will be even more serious.
I already heard that. You're not even a doctor, what do you know?
I just want you to be better.
You didn't even live with me all this time.
Don't pretend to be my dad now.
I've done it.
I really am no good.
Oh, hi.
Hi.
Thanks for yesterday.
You don't need to thank me.
I know your weakness now, Saito.
You are a guy, but you're scared of bugs?
I'll treat you to thank you! How about dinner?
What? You're asking me to go out to dinner with you?
Yes.
Just the two of us?
Yes.
Why not? We always eat together at the hospital dining room.
We had hot pot at my place too.
No, that's different. The two of us alone, outside, having dinner?
That's a date!
If you don't want to, you don't have to.
No! I'll go!
Look, I had this done yesterday.
That's super cute!
- This is no joke. - This is cute.
- This is super cute. - Isn't this amazing?
It's from a 100-yen store?
Yum! Meat is delicious.
It's ready.
If you don't eat it soon, it'll burn.
What's the matter? You usually eat your head off.
It's seriously delicious!
- Right? - Yep!
Oh! I'm feeling energised now!
Good evening.
Oh, Mihara.
What?
When you are not in your uniform, you seem different.
Really? Which one seems better?
When you are in your uniform.
I see.
If you are done, why don't you go home?
Well, I have something for you, Saya.
Which one do you like?
"Nail Seal"
I thought you couldn't do nails at a hospital.
It's not allowed, but I figured a little won't hurt.
If it's these stickers, then you can peel it off easily.
Which one?
This one.
This one? Okay.
Nurses can't wear nail polish.
Clean impression is the most important.
Even if I put on nail polish on my day off,
I have to take it off right away, so it was bothersome.
So I stopped putting it on altogether.
But when I really have to, I put on these nail stickers.
When my nails are pretty...
I feel up! Up! No, that's not it.
I feel high, is that how you say it?
Okay, give me your hand.
Let's put it on here.
Your nails are small.
Do that, and tear it off here.
See? It's done.
How do you like it?
It's cute.
I'm glad.
Mihara...
do you have someone you like?
Do you want to order something else?
No.
He)“
Sake...
do you have a girlfriend?
No, I don't.
I see.
By the way, I don't have a boyfriend either.
Well, nurses are busy.
My friends tell me
that I'm lucky being surrounded by women, but it's busy there.
So we end up being a team
rather than a man and a woman.
Just like how we are eating a meal together right now.
Right.
That rib is done!
That's mine!
That's the biggest one!
We are just a team that's not a man and a woman!
Someone I like?
I don't have one right now.
I see. Don't worry about it.
I haven't told my mum or either one of my dad's...
I have someone I like.
Oh, really?
So there were boys that we would hang out as a group...
it's my first time I really like someone.
I see. What is he like? Is he cute?
He's kind, tall, and when I'm with him...
my heart beats so fast that I can't say anything.
I'm usually like this, so that's weird, right?
No, that's not weird at all. It's really great!
That person asked me for the first time the other day...
to go to the beach when summer comes.
What? That's great!
No, it's not great at all.
Because...
if I had a scar on my stomach from surgery, he won't like me.
I won't be able to put on a bathing suit.
Saya.
Head nurse.
Oh? I thought you went home already, Mihara.
Well, I had something.
I see.
You can't go home, because you are worried about Saya?
Yes, something like that.
I get it.
Excuse me.
Even if we're apart, we are still father and daughter.
I always thought there was a connection there.
But...
for Saya, she was dumped by her father when we got divorced.
That's not true.
I think you are still a great dad.
It's just that...
Saya is not as young as you think she is.
What?
I don't know if I should say this...
but Saya is in love.
Love?
If she has a scar on her stomach, she feels he won't like her.
That's why she doesn't want a surgery.
I see.
When girls are in love...
I don't know what to do!
Why does my heart beat faster and feel fuzzy with him? How annoying!
Heart beating faster and fuzzy feeling...
Could this be...
Love?
Okay-
I will talk to Saya again as her father.
"Do your best" is a strange thing to say...
See you later then.
See you.
Are you okay? Are you in pain?
Little bit.
I'm sorry. I'm not a doctor...
I can't heal your illness.
I can only do this for you, I'm sorry.
Saya.
You've grown. You are 16 already.
When you were born...
I was really happy.
I met your mother, fell in love...
got married, and you were born.
I still feel nothing that happy will ever happen again.
But...
after that...
your mother and I didn't see eye to eye...
so we got divorced and started to live separately.
I've probably hurt you a lot as well.
It may be not convincing for me to say something like this...
but to love someone...
is an amazing thing.
As long as there's that person, you don't need anything else.
Everything seems irrelevant.
When you love someone...
it really is powerful.
That's why if they really love you, Saya...
they won't dislike you because of a scar from your surgery.
They definitely won't dislike you.
That's what it means...
to love someone.
There's one more thing.
I want you to keep this as our secret.
I have someone I like.
Really?
Yes, it's a little embarrassing.
Dad.
I'll do that surgery.
Saya.
I'm sorry, dad.
Okay, I got it. Let's ask Dr. Yagira right away.
I'm sorry.
Thank you.
Ouch!
Saya, are you okay?
Ouch!
I'll call Dr. Yagira.
Please! Doctor will be here soon! Hold on!
Ouch!
Saya, you'll be fine. Hold on.
Thank you.
Muscular defence is occurring. This will be an emergency surgery.
Thank you.
Yes.
Doctor, we are ready for surgery.
"In Surgery"
Good morning.
Morning.
Mihara, I thought it over...
how about nail stickers?
What?
Ta-da!
That pattern...
Saya was disappointed that she couldn't do her nails here.
I thought if we did this and got closer,
I could convince her to get this surgery.
I think that's a great idea, but...
she had an emergency surgery last night.
What? Really?
Yes, she decided on her own to do this surgery.
I see.
That's great.
But she was so adamant about not doing it, how did they convince her?
It must be her father's love.
Head nurse?
Take that off, okay?
What? I actually like these!
My finest work.
It's amazing how small the scar is, if I may say so myself.
We are truly grateful.
We'll observe you for two, three days, and you'll be discharged.
You are young,
soon you won't even know where your scar is.
That's an exaggeration for sure.
Doctor,
we should get going.
- See you. - Okay.
Good for you. It's all thanks to Dr. Yagira.
Thank you, dad.
What?
I was really glad that you rubbed my back.
I see.
I used to be embarrassed that you were a nurse when I was a child.
My friends would say "He's a guy, but he's not a doctor?"
Well, that's expected.
But after being admitted at the hospital for the first time...
Your job is awesome.
Is it?
I have someone I like.
Someone you like?
What?
He's a little bit like you.
Saya, you say such a thing...
You two seem to be having fun.
That's our secret, okay?
Yes, of course.
What secret?
What's with you two?
Thank you for everything.
Thank you for taking care of my daughter.
Thank you very much.
That's Saya's new father?
Ouch!
Saya, I'm glad you are better.
That's for sure.
The recovery power of a high school girl is amazing.
Right! Her skin is all shiny!
That must be nice.
It's great to be young.
Did you say something?
I'm sorry.
What? You went back to your delinquent makeup?
Right! I need to do what I want to do right now!
Time passes by really fast!
See you, dad!
- Excuse me. - Excuse me.
Let's get back to work.
Tachibana, hurry up getting the environment control ready.
Good for you.
This time, both my daughter and I
owe you a lot. Um...
Soto show my appreciation,
how about it, today?
Sure.
Of course not, right? What?
You can?
I wanted to have a talk with you as well.
Oh, really?
Then maybe I'll make a reservation at another restaurant.
Okay-
Saito, when are you going to do the report for the training?
I've done it. I had time yesterday.
What? Isn't that due next week?
Right, but I figured I'll do things that I can do today.
I see, you sure are a good student.
I need to do what I want to do right now!
Time passes by really fast!
All right!
Hey!
Do you want to go out to eat after work?
Just the two of us?
Yes, just the two of us. You don't want to?
Not at all. Let's go.
It's my treat today!
What? No thanks. I don't know what you've got up your sleeve.
See you later!
Yeah!
Should we just go out?
Is this a date?
It wouldn't be good if someone saw us together here.
- Is that the chief? - Dr. Shimizu has a wife.
What?
With someone you love, you want them to just look at you.
