Half...

...no...

...even just a third of the people would be fine.

I hope you will please find patients who will participate in this.

Please do this.

Did you threaten them again?

It wasn't really threatening them.

I just stretched my stomach and raised a bit of a cry.

That is threatening them.

Right?

Huh?

Ah.

Maybe so, but you should see that Chief Nurse just once.

She's the one who was threatening ME.

Why...

...did such a scary woman end up so scary, I wonder?

She seems like someone else we know... Right?

Huh?

Huh? What's that?

I can't hear you.

2001 Fall Contact Event

Ohara Itoko Fashion Show

Calling for Tatsumura-sensei of Internal Medicine...

Itoko-sensei!

Ah, good afternoon.

Thank you so much.

Ala!

Sakurai-san, too?

Good afternoon.

Good afternoon.

We have a matching set of former schoolmates.

This is fantastic...

It really is.

Sensei, it's about time we got together with the Chief Nurse.

Ah. Well then, let's be going.

If you would please.

So long, Sakurai-san. See you again.

Sakurai-san has...

...a rather unique atmosphere about her, doesn't she?

One that is certainly popular...

A sort of nobility.

Well, her nobility is unchanged...

...and her taste in men is unchanged as well.

Yes! Is that right?

And incidentally, what would that be?

Now, come in, come in.

Good afternoon.

Good afternoon.

Ah, good afternoon! Come in, come in! Come in!

Look, I'll let you take over for the rest.

Well Director, where are you going?

I have... that!

Director! Director!

About what Itoko-sensei was talking about...

...we will go ahead with trying to recruit...

...some willing patients for the time being.

Thank you.

And then for the time being...

...we have put up this poster around the hospital for the last two weeks.

And then, they came, they came!

A total of fifty-four people!

Thirteen of the names are staff personnel...

...and the remaining forty-one are patients.

Those forty-one...

...are both inpatients and out-patients.

Well, if we brought in...

...just those patients who have light illnesses...

...that shouldn't cause much in the way of a problem.

Right?

Yes.

Are these in red those people with serious illnesses?

That's right.

Well then...

We'll go with these people.

Huh?

Huh?!

Please let me go with these.

Wait...

Ohara-san...

...these are people with severe conditions.

It's because they are.

Let's grant them in the order of their severity.

I can't allow such a thing!

It would be even more dangerous for these people.

It would be far easier for something to happen to them!

That's true...

...but please think about this.

Those people who are seriously ill...

...but who would like to appear in the October Show were holding onto a dream.

That dream...

...was taken away from them by their serious illness.

That's...

...terrible, isn't it?

Well...

...it is terrible and harsh...

But such a thing isn't what we're discussing.

A hospital...

...is a place where the patients must concentrate on their treatments.

Our job...

...is to protect that environment.

We can't have...

...an event where we abandon our responsibilities like that.

Yes, yes...

I understand.

I've said some absurd things.

Well then, what should we do?

In the end, seven staff members were chosen...

...and I would pick...

...four outpatients and four inpatients each...

...with minor conditions.

Yeah... Well...

...these four will do, right?

Yes.

Hello!

How's it going?

Ah, we're selecting the models now.

I see!

Yes?

It was natural and reasonable, but still...

...Natsu's name wasn't among them.

Still...

I thought I should make them for the time being anyway.

Ah.

What's that?

Clothes for that girl Natsu and me, too.

Ah.

She and I...

...should match.

I in red and Natsu in white.

We would be the very last ones to go out.

Matching red and white dresses...

Wouldn't that have the feel of New Year's comedy duo?

Would she laugh scornfully at me again?

Even so...

...this would be the result of a long, long and inseparable relationship...

Such a thing would be fine, wouldn't it?

Heisei 13 (2001) August

Ehh...

Everyone, nice to meet you.

I am Ohara Itoko.

As you know, I will be making...

...a fashion show along with all of you in October.

I, too, come here as a patient with a bad knee...

...and the disease of skin herpes.

I am eighty-eight years old.

Even so, I won't let myself cut corners.

I would like to make this a wonderful Show.

Anyway, the first favor I will ask of all of you...

...is that I want you...

...to become beautiful as of today.

Beautiful?

That would be difficult.

That's right.

When you come out for this Show, everyone must see...

...the glittering brilliance of your value for the first time.

Please do your best and believe...

...that you will definitely be shining.

Please believe that your shining...

...will bring strength to people.

It will positively turn out fine.

Please work with me.

Turn around.

Yes.

Yes... Face front.

Eighty years old?

You still look like a schoolgirl.

You shouldn't say such things, Sensei.

It was at that time that I felt I had finally become fully-fledged.

Is that right.

Here!

Whaa! Ah... I'm so happy.

How about it. Do you like it?

Yeah.

I love it, love it.

White is best.

Thank you.

Thank you for all your work.

Well Sensei, shall we go?

Taka-chan, hold on a minute.

Huh?

I'll be right back.

Ah...
