Original subtitles

The tension is up. Thinking about a young man coming to stay here.

Don't get me wrong. I go for Horikawa-kun.

Me too. I don't particularly want to take a peek.

Good morning! Hori-kun.

Here's the clothes for changing.

This towel feels better, you know!

Ah?

Tatsuya?

We're busy in the morning!

I'll telling you, it's sexual harassment!

I'm sorry.

Having you allow me to stay a night and even cook me breakfast.

Don't hold back and eat more.

Look, take this too. - No, this is mine.

Ko-sensei is so fortunate.

You could eat such tasty meals everyday.

This is also mine.

OK, I'll give you the tomato.

Look, a rice is stuck on your face.

Thanks.

Tatsuya-san, a rice ...

Um ...!

Sister Mamefuku, you're like the elder sister of Hori-kun.

I do have a younger brother about his age.

You two get along well, don't you?

No matter how old he becomes, he's still cute to me.

When you have a brother much younger than you, it'll become like this.

Now I remember ...

When I was a high school student my little young brother just followed me around.

So there was a time where you were a high school student. - What do you mean!

Suzume. What is it?

Ah ...

So you are here.

Young Master Tatsuya.

Good day.

Well, there is a person who wants to befriend you.

Be my friend?

Ha ...

Have you seen Kako?

Madam Kako went to be a volunteer.

Ah ...

She mentioned this.

In modern-day Japan,

rather than pets, animals are more like family members.

This is the story of a young vet who is trying his best to watch over the precious lives of these animals, and his companions.

So you stayed at Ko-sensei's home?

I drank too much. I was taken care of by his family.

How careless. Please pull yourself together.

But I was welcomed.

They said to me "Just come to visit us anytime!".

I want to visit them again.

Well, the breakfast was really tasty.

Next time, Tokiwa-san should also come.

Eh ... Eh, Ko-sensei's home? - Yes. With Daichi-kun too.

Ah, please bring your own pajamas. Also your own toothbrushes.

Though you could take a bath there,

after using the shampoo, the hair will creak,

it's better to bring your own treatment.

So, when shall we go?

Why is Hori-kun managing this?

Ha ...? I am not managing this.

Why are you getting angry ... you managed ...

you managed this, didn't you? - I am not angry and I am not managing this.

Why are you in such a superior manner ...

I haven't said anything.

Are you coming for consultation?

Ah ... Yes.

Please, please.

Thank you very much. - Please come in.

Ko-sensei! Someone came for consultation!

Please, please come in.

She is in bad nutrition.

It seems she was brought up by a malicious breeder.

So we took her under our protection.

Malicious breeder?

Dogs were bred by malicious breeders in a malicious environment just for bearing puppies.

But because these breeders won't be punished legally, this has become a problem.

What do you mean by malicious environment?

They are kept in a way that many dogs are crowded into a narrow and dirty cage.

How many puppies did this kid bear?

I think she has bred many.

What do they do with the puppies?

They are sold at auction.

It's pitiful somehow.

I'm not the one who's doing this.

She's pretty dirty.

Shall we shampoo her?

We shall do this.

I shall also help.

Then, thanks for your help.

Daichi is going to help us? - I can help you.

OK, let's go Daichi. - Um. OK.

Oh ... OK. You feel good.

No more water. Ah, get some refill, Daichi.

Daichi, pour some water, would you~

It looked like you were feeling down, are you feeling bit better now?

When I joined the volunteer service,

I thought that there are also things I can do for the doggies.

I think you are doing very meaningful things.

Is your mother OK?

Yes.

You look so different now.

This kid is handsome, isn't he?

This kid is a girl.

Um? - A girl.

What's wrong with her?

Let's do an X-ray examination.

This kid has a habit of gnawing and swallowing things.

Habit of swallowing things ...? - Um.

Things she swallowed remained in her stomach.

Because they are small, I think they would come out with the feces.

If the things are a little bit bigger, there is the possibility of intestinal obstruction.

But ...

Why does she get this habit?

Um ...

I think it's because of stress.

It seems that she has been living in stress for many years, so she got such a habit.

Please be gentle with her.

Yes.

What would you do with this kid?

She will stay at my home, until I find a person who would take care of her.

It'd be great if you would discover a good person.

We shall also help searching.

I'm sorry for bothering you. Thank you for your help.

So, it's about time we go home.

Eh! I want to play with this kid more!

Daichi, look, you have Daikichi, right?

I really like such small, swishing, cute kid.

I got your feeling. Me too.

Then would you come to my home and we play together?

Can I? - Um.

Eh, this would cause nuisance to you, right?

This kid would get excited when he goes to others' home,

and opens the room doors and refrigerator without permission ...

That was when I was in nursery school! I don't do it anymore!

OK, let's go. - Ah ... wait a minute.

Excuse me. - Ah ... Hey, wait.

What about Daikichi?

He'll stay here!

Please take care.

Daikichi, then let's take a walk.

Ah, wait ...

Then, meal, let's have a meal, Daikichi.

How would you call this kid?

She feels like the boss of Daikichi, let's call her "Super Daikichi".

What?

I've decided. This kid is called Romi.

Eh? Why Romi?

Romi of "Romeo and Juliet".

A dog I loved so much was called Juri.

Therefore I want to call this kid Romi.

Eh~

Who's this kid?

He is the son of a person who is working at the animal clinic of Kagurazaka.

Kako is still going there.

Here. Look. Look.

What is the progress of the re-development plan?

I've heard that there will be a briefing session for the local residents next month.

While the road expansion seems to be progressing ...

With this, Kagurazaka will also get more ventilated, right?

Madam, would it really be fine?

That clinic will vanish.

Daichi-kun, you are good at this.

I'm good at drawing Shippo.

Because I wanted to keep one since I was small, I drew a lot of it.

Eh~

I finished!

I also finished mine.

Let's go post them. - Um.

Daikichi, will you also go with us?

Come here!

We're looking for an owner for a chihuahua!

Thanks for your help!

We're looking for an owner for a chihuahua.

Thanks for your help. - We're looking for an owner for a chihuahua.

We're looking for an owner for a chihuahua. - Thanks for your help. It's this kid.

She doesn't look like chihuahua ... - She does!

Thanks for your help. - We're looking for an owner for a chihuahua.

You are skillful at this.

It'd be great if everyone can see this.

Can people notice it?

If we post a lot, people should notice it, right?

Right.

Thanks for helping, Daichi-kun, Daikichi-kun.

It's totally fine.

Daichi-kun, where is the towel?

I guess it's drying in the garden.

Daikichi-kun! Daichi-kun too, let's leave quickly!

What ... What happened?

We can't stay here! This way! This way!

OK, I took it out.

Ah ... Why was there rubbish going into my eye?

Because you zoned out, right?

I'm sorry. Thanks for helping me.

Ko-sensei and Tokiwa-san?

We still can't go back? - Wait a bit more.

So unexpected! But if there is such a thing,

Ko-sensei would firstly report to me.

I saw it with my own eyes.

Is it real?

Let's go and ask him.

No, no way, no way! No way, no way, no way!

Because the clinic is just right there, it's better that I go and ask.

No way!

We have to leave them alone.

The relationship between the two of them must have just started.

Anyhow, we should say nothing, and watch over them silently.

Otherwise their good relationship will be broken.

Then I'll go back first.

You've thought too much, Kako-chan. It's faster to go and ask directly.

Wait! Lie down here! Right, down!

Come here.

Anyhow, let's just talk about this here, OK?

O ... OK.

Be a good kid and I'll give you sweets.

Thanks. - Thanks.

Today's words: Earth-shaking

Are you interested in the re-development of Kagurazaka?

It's rare that you have interest in my work.

Nothing, just bit interested in it.

The residents at the surrounding area are mostly convinced to sell their land.

Once the road expansion is done, the streets would change a lot.

The residents who have been living there will move out.

Right. If you are interested in it, let's join our meeting next time, would you?

Let's talk about this in details when I'm back from my business trip.

Thank you.

Look, that person. - She makes a cute face.

She may make it deliberately. - To have a romance with a handsome man younger than her ...

Oh, no, really. - What is that person about?

Hey, have you heard about this? The thing about the sensei and the nurse of the animal clinic.

Oh, the nurse, that slim beauty?

Right, right. They're in a romantic relationship.

I am jealous~

If I were 30 years younger ...

30 years? Suzume-chan.

What are you talking about?

Um? What?

Please tell me the details!

Suzume-chan!

Kiss?

The neighbours are spreading this completely groundless rumour!

Oh my, what are these people thinking about!

Right.

From where did such rumour start to spread?

Basically, I and Ko-sensei won't be kissing, right?

Right so. It'd be a nuisance if they say that.

Is this a nuisance to you?

Ah, no ...

What is it about! Please make it clear!

I'm just thinking that this would make Tokiwa-san feel annoyed.

Please don't decide feelings of others yourself.

Eh ...?

Ah, then, isn't this rumour a nuisance to you?

Well ... This ...

What do you think!?

Well, I don't think it much a nuisance to me.

What about you?

Of course it's a nuisance to me!

Nui ... Nuisance ...

Nuisance ...

Hello, this is Sakanoue Animal Clinic.

Ko-sensei, this is Horikawa! - Yes.

Kako.

Please stop going to the animal clinic of Kagurazaka.

Why?

They are not suitable to us.

If we can't find an owner for Romi ...

No way.

It isn't long since Juri died.

Don't you think Juri would be pitiful?

That toy is Juri's toy.

Juri was our family member.

Have you forgotten about this?

There are dogs who are more suitable to be staying in this home.

It's a pity, but this kid has a home which she's suitable to.

I'm sorry.

Hello?

"Hello, Kako-chan,

we found people who could take care of Romi."

"Horikawa-kun found them."

Eh?

OK OK OK, you are cute.

You are so cute.

Papa, this kid looks the same as Kotarou.

Really so.

She looks exactly the same as the kid we kept in the past.

Look, the way she puts her tongue out is also the same.

She's cute.

They seem to be a kind couple.

Are you OK?

Excuse me.

Thank you for your help. - Thank you.

It's fine you don't go with them. From today, here is your home.

Take care, Romi.

Thank you.

Thanks for your help. - We shall treasure Romi-chan.

Please take care.

Thank you for your help. - Thank you.

It's great that they are a kind couple.

Well, it was quite hard to find an owner for her, I had to spend some effort.

I'm hungry.

Ah, shall we go to eat something?

Before I came here I saw a restaurant posting "Chilled Chinese noodles started to be served".

Does Kako-chan prefer soy sauce or sesame sauce?

Why are you crying?

They seem to be very kind.

I'm sorry.

Kako-chan ...

Ko-sensei ...

I want to stay with Romi.

Um.

I'll go to apologise.

Mother.

I want Romi to be my family member.

Even if I'm with Romi, I absolutely won't forget about Juri.

You say so at the beginning.

But when a new kid comes, surely you'll forget about Juri.

I shall not forget about her!

Please return that kid quickly.

Here it is, here it is. What should I do?

It's difficult.

I'm sorry, I come uninvited in such late time.

It's fine. There are always someone coming to play.

Just relax and treat here as your home.

It's better that you go home after the practice.

It's good, I want to stay here tonight too.

Will you stay tonight?

Great. Which bed shall I be sleeping ...

No no, Daikichi is in my room,

and it has become a place to store all your luggages. - How cruel!

You had kissed Tokiwa-san. - Ha?

I can't stand such relationship anymore!

What are you talking about?

So it's true! I saw it.

The two of them, in the clinic.

Ah! - Uwa!

Eh? Eh? - Tatsuya, you ...

you have an office romance with a married woman!

No no it's wrong. Don't cry. It's a misunderstanding.

I cry because I'm happy.

When did you become so wild?

You said before that you opposed romance with married woman!

I won't oppose if he is so serious.

Hey, since then did you two start the relationship? - So I said it's a misunderstanding.

You two surely are born under the star making you two destined to love each other.

You played too many otome games.

I shall cheer for the romance of Ko-sensei.

Kako-chan, what are you talking about. The thing becomes complicated now.

I also wanted to become an animal nurse and have office love with Tatsuya-san!

Oh my! I screwed up. I'm sorry.

Madam, there is a phone call from Tatsuya-sama to you.

Tatsuya-san, I'm here ...

Romi-chan.

Romi-chan.

Romi, are you sleepy?

You can't fall asleep?

Sorry. You were surprised that they were so noisy, right?

I had a very great time.

Everyone is so bright, when I stay in Ko-sensei's home, I feel warmth.

My home is always silent.

My father is always at work.

And Juri is gone.

There are only my mother and me.

When I think that my mother is alone at home now, somehow I think it's a pity to her.

Let's go home tomorrow.

I shall accompany you back home when I finish my work.

Ah ... It's OK.

Just then, I talked to your mother over the phone.

You talked to my mother? - Um.

So, let's go home.

OK?

Yes.

Next one, please. Ueno Pink-chan. - Yes.

Please come in.

Thanks for your help. - Yes.

OK ...

OK OK ... What happened?

Yes.

Excuse me.

Ah, sorry I have nothing to serve you.

Ah ... I think Kako-san will be back from her walk soon.

Please do not bother.

We shall leave once Kako is back.

Ah ...

I didn't know Kako-san is the daughter of Yoriko-san.

Ah ... Ah ...

We welcome Kako-san to come to play anytime.

Kako-san is an interesting lady.

Interesting?

Yes.

We had a great time yesterday.

Kako-san brightens the people around her.

So you even want to take my daughter?

What do you mean?

It has not been long since my mother died, my father came to this house.

So this time you even turn your hand to my daughter?

I have been waiting alone for my father who did not come back.

I guess you won't understand how I felt at that time, right?

But after all it's a howl of a loser dog.

My father chose you two.

Well ...

This is not true.

Eh?

Your father was lonely after your mother died.

Because I'm like this, he'd feel easy.

Indeed, your father showered me and Tatsuya with love.

Madam ...

Sorry for having disturbed you. - Ah ... Madam.

Mother ...

Madam.

Mother.

Romi already treats me as her family member.

And I treat her the same.

I hope to treat Romi as our family member.

Therefore, I hope Mother would recognise this.

Kako.

What is "family member"?

Here!?

So she came here ...

Right.

Madam, it's time for the volunteering service.

Right.

So see you later, Romi.

I'm leaving. - Please have a safe trip.

What happened?

Ah ...

In the past, my elder sister gave me this.

From your elder sister?

What do you want for dinner?

What about curry? - Curry?

We played together here.

She gave me this at that time.

1, 2, 3!

Rock, paper, scissors, rock, paper ...

Turn around and jump!

Then, go back and ju ... jump!

Marvellous, sister! Great, great.

What is it?

Four-leaf clover. You'll be lucky if you keep it.

Eh~ It's great.

It's good to have siblings.

Because I'm the only child, I'm a bit jealous.

Let's go. - Yes.

Romi! Romi!

Come over! Honda!

Romi!

Oh? Ogi, what's up?

Ogi.

Hello? - "Young Master Tatsuya!"

Would it be fine if we go to your clinic right now?

The intestines have become accordion shape.

It's intestinal obstruction caused by foreign substances.

We need to do surgery immediately.

Surgery ...

Do we have to do surgery by all means?

There is no other way to handle this.

According to the condition of obstruction, it may be a difficult surgery.

It'll be fine.

Because it's Ko-sensei who does the surgery.

Madam! Madam ... - Is she alright?

This.

Do you remember?

This.

Thanks.

I got your feeling, sister.

I shall do my best.

The surgery of removal of foreign substances in the gastrointestinal tract shall begin.

Thanks for your assistance. - I'll be in your care.

I shall check if there is adhesion or not.

There is inflammation of the peritoneum. Let's proceed the surgery very carefully.

Yes.

The substances eat into the intestinal wall.

If we pull the substances like this, there is a possibility of a burst of the intestinal wall.

Let's divide the foreign substances into several places and then take them out. - Yes.

Romi-chan's operation has successfully finished.

We just need to wait for her to wake up.

Today we were protected by this charm.

Ah ... I kept it together with my important things.

Thanks for playing with me at that time.

I didn't have the chance to say thank you to you.

Well ... I remembered a lot.

At that time, I was such a kid who was covered by loneliness.

My mother was busy every day,

and I could only see my father once in a while.

Therefore, at that time ... I had a great time.

When Honda-san told me that you were my elder sister,

I was really very happy.

This is my treasure object.

I'm sorry.

I have been avoiding you thus far.

But when I see this charm, I remember.

I was also really happy to have a younger brother.

Haha.

Ah.

I wanted to play with you more.

I wanted to talk to you more.

More, more.

Please come here any time.

Kako-chan, Romi-chan, you. Anytime.

Because I'll always be here.

Ah, I shall go to Romi-chan's home visit.

Haha.

So, it is decided that we shall go to Ko-sensei's home to play on Sunday.

So it's good to gather here, right?

Well ... it's decided by force.

There is no such thing, is it? Ko-sensei.

Ah Tokiwa-san, please also tell Daichi-kun about this.

So, why is Hori-kun managing this?

I'm not managing this.

Is it really OK? That we visit your home.

Of course.

Ah, I shall also introduce you to Ko-sensei's mother.

I'd be nervous about that.

No no there's nothing to be nervous about ... - You don't have to be nervous.

Please treat that as your home.

Eh ...

We're going to Ko-sensei's home?

Are you so happy? - That's for sure!

Ah, let's bring my changing clothes. I'm going to take a bath with Ko-sensei.

You sound so cheeky. - It's great, isn't it?

I can't remember having had bath with my father.

Ah! I hope Sunday would come sooner.

Daichi. - What?

Please also eat the boiled food.

If you don't eat them, I shall not bring you to Ko-sensei's home.

Eh!? - Eh!?

Eh~!?

Ah~! I wasn't expecting Tatsuya to bring a woman home!

Red-bean rice, let's cook the red-bean rice!

Red-bean rice is usually cooked for joyful occasion or celebration.

No no, this is not like that.

Horikawa-kun and Daichi will also come.

It's like a social gathering at workplace, right?

Even you say so, a woman is a woman, right?

It's like a moth flying into the flame.

If you keep chasing, she may finally accept to be your bride!

I have no idea of what you're talking about ...

That chattering guy Hori-kun is also coming, right?

There won't be such a development.

I hate this ...

No no ...

Just now, Sakanoue Animal Clinic's Koenji-sensei called.

He hopes that you would go to take Romi back, she's recovering well after the surgery.

Kako, please take Romi back home.

Mother ... Is it OK?

Please go quickly.

I shall prepare the car right now.

Madam, please go to change your clothes.

Yes!

I'm sorry.

Even Tokiwa-san would also make such mistake.

Please help me out.

Today she's also awful ...

What did you say? - No, nothing at all.

Ko-sensei. Let's go to your home quickly.

Daichi-kun, you go first with Horikawa-kun.

I'll have a word with Tokiwa-san.

Is it OK? Yay.

Then shall we go? Hey. We're leaving. - We're leaving.

What do you want to talk about?

What happened? Such serious face ...

What does Ko-sensei want to talk to mama about?

Perhaps, what Kako-chan saw is real ...

What? - Um. Nothing.

Today's words: In great distress

OK, let's go. - Let's go.

So I guess it correct.

Even Daichi didn't notice it.

From when?

Last night.

It isn't good to hide this, right?

Because Daichi is so much looking forward to today's visit.

Tokiwa-san.

Please do not try so hard.

Please do not try so hard.

When you are in hard time, please say you are in hard time and rely on us.

I'm fine ... I'm OK.

You are not OK.

I worry about you.

Ah ... Ah!

It's suspected to be a brain tumour.

The success rate is 50%.

Why didn't you notice that Love is sick?

If anything happens ...

There are family members waiting for your coming home.

Do you have a woman that you like?

I always believed.

Absolutely, he absolutely would come back.

Suzume-san likes me, right?

What are you talking about!

Mamefuku, are you OK?

Shut up!

Don't you think of getting married?

A woman would misunderstand this.

I got your feeling.

I shall try my best.
