Original subtitles

Please leave that day free.

Huh?

Is something on then?

We're going to have dinner together.

Sorry?

Dinner?

Why with the hero?

Because she's my girlfriend.

Huh?!

You did it, hero!

- Congratulations, hero! - Sensei!

Um, could you repeat that?

I'm never saying it again.

Why not, sensei?

Tendo-sensei!

Sorry I'm late!

I'm Wakabayashi Miori. It's a pleasure to meet you.

Thank you for looking after my sister while she was alive.

"Sister"?

Who's that?

She sure is pretty.

I'm Tendo.

Sorry for being so sudden.

I was studying overseas and couldn't come home.

So I couldn't even meet you and introduce myself at the funeral.

I'm currently...

working as a doctor.

With cardiac surgery.

I got back last month and now I'm visiting various cardiac surgery departments.

Today I came to hear about this one.

Oh, sorry. I'll have to come back another time. Bye for now.

She looks exactly like Minori.

That surprised me too.

- She's so pretty. - Who is she?

Sorry.

I should've told you.

About Wakabayashi-san.

Our cardiac surgery department was looking for new doctors,

and she was a fellow at the Michigan Medical Centre, which is famous for heart transplants.

They must be meeting to discuss that today.

If she comes to work with us...

What would you do?

If she's a skilled doctor, then of course I'd welcome her.

Okay.

Oh, that's right.

I just heard from Professor Tachibana about this.

He said he'd really like you to speak at this seminar.

That's my day off, though.

But Professor Tachibana used to be your teacher.

He helped you in the second half of your residency. You can't turn him down, can you?

Let's see...

The professor says he'll even give a big feast,

and I'll give you a day off here instead.

Oh, I'll add one here too.

[Wada Yoko]

What's the matter, Wada-san?

I'll go there now.

What? You're kidding!

The devil won't be here because of a work trip.

- What? - What?

You're right! That's so rare.

Yes! Instead of "when the cat's away",

let's play while the devil's away!

- You shouldn't say that! - I didn't say anything.

Oh?

Isn't this "We're going to have dinner" day with Miss Hero?

Huh?

It is!

A seminar?

You didn't know, hero?

Even though you're his girlfriend?

Even if you say that...

There are still no results.

Eh?

None?

I need to go to the pharmacy.

Looks like they still have far to go...

Sensei!

Tendo-sensei!

Is it true you're going to speak at the seminar in Osaka?

I just heard-- Ah!

I'm sorry, that was careless of me.

I fall over a lot.

So, I've been invited to that seminar too.

I'm going to talk about my clinical experience in America.

I also heard you'll attend the dinner the professor's holding.

- See you there. - Yeah.

Sorry for interrupting you.

That's it!

Chief, please!

What?

I'm really sorry for saying this,

but could I have some time off?

Here, on the Saturday!

Not just the Sunday.

Are you planning...

I'm sorry.

I just... have such a bad feeling about it...

I sense danger...

My life depends on it!

Calm down. Whoa there.

I mean it. Any day besides this day,

you can put me in any shifts.

So please... I beg you!

I get it!

I get it, okay?

But I'll get you to return the favour another time, okay?

Have a safe trip!

I will!

Tendo-sensei.

- For this weekend... - Oh, sorry.

About that, actually... I have to go on a work trip.

Yes, I know.

What?

For a seminar, right?

If it's okay, I want to go...

Idiot! I'm going for work.

I'm going to stay a night, give a lecture then come right back.

Just wait for me.

Okay...

Hey~ Why did you back down then?

I can't force him to let me come...

It's just that I feel so uneasy...

Ah.

Ryuko-san, are you free around then?

Huh?

Will you go barhopping with me?

Sounds good!

Wait no. Instead...

You should go to Osaka too, Nanako-chan.

Huh?

I mean...

He's going with Minori-san's sister, right?

And she really looks like her, right?

Apparently.

I'm worried...

That's why you should go too...

Follow them...

And then... meet up later or something?

Instead of worrying, it's easier to do something.

Just take action! Okay?

I see.

If it starts turning into a bad atmosphere...

No, actually...

If it turns into a good atmosphere...

I'll jump out and stop it.

That's right!

Defend with your sword and shield.

That's what makes you the hero!

Yes! I will fight!

With that, cheers!

Cheers!

Ah!

Ryuko-san, what's going on with Nishi-kun?

I never thought the person Nishi-kun liked would be Ryuko-san!

It was such a surprise, fireflies!

But I don't know...

Oh, more importantly...

I'm grateful to you, Nanako-chan.

- Huh? - Because...

I was always worried.

But that Kairi...

The guy who was always brooding and only ever worked...

is finally starting a new relationship.

Though it hasn't been long yet.

It might not be much but I'm cheering for you.

You can do it, hero!

Yes!

Onwards, to Osaka!

subs by mottofreaky

I'm going now.

Wada-san in Room 712...

Angina pectoris​ and heavy aortic stenosis.

Cardiac catheter, echo and ECG.

I'll let you know the results.

Thanks.

Alone at time of departure.

Alright.

Oh, I'm so sorry!

- Otsukaresama desu. - Yes, otsukaresama...

Thank you.

To Haneda Airport, please.

So this is Osaka!

It's my first time here.

Tendo-sensei!

- So we were on the same flight! - She's here!

We have a meeting and then dinner, right?

Yes.

Let's go to the venue together.

Please open the back.

Thank you.

Please follow the car in front.

Okay.

Um...

Which one would that be?

Huh?

Which one indeed...

Is something wrong?

Huh? Oh...

I've dropped my wallet...

- Oh dear. - See?

- Was it around here? - See, it's not here.

I walked from that bus stop,

so I think it's somewhere here,

but I can't find it... What do I do...

I'll look for it with you.

- Oh, thank you! - It's no problem.

I don't see it...

Oh.

Oh, found it!

Is this it?

That's it!

Hang on a second...

- Yeah, this is mine. - What a relief!

- Thank you, thank you! - That's okay!

Ah, I'm so glad...

What a relief...

I've been looking forward to tonight's dinner.

I'm looking forward to it too.

It's gotta be blow fish in winter, right?

Tendo-sensei.

Will you go for a drink with me after dinner?

I know a good place nearby.

It's just there. Boiled and raw blow fish.

It's good~

Can't wait!

Tsutsumi-san, would you like this?

Are you okay?

Tsutsumi-san?

Tsutsumi-san, what's wrong?

Tsutsumi-san!

Pardon me.

Ambulance.

Excuse me, could you call an ambulance?

- The address is on that telephone pole. - Okay.

Excuse me.

1 2 3 4

5 6 7 8 9 10

1 2 3 4 5 6

What happened?

He suddenly lost consciousness...

Tendo-sensei!

- Cardiac arrest? - Yes.

AED.

Right.

Sorry, excuse me.

Coming through, sorry.

Here it is.

Prepare it.

Yes.

Shock advised. Stay clear of patient.

- I'm starting it. Stay back. - Yes.

Administering shock.

Shock delivered.

Tsutsumi-san!

Tsutsumi-san, can you hear me?

It's alright, the ambulance will come soon.

Opening the back.

What happened?

Tsutumi Ichitaro-san, 67.

Showed signs of chest pain and lost consciousness.

- We immediately did chest compressions. - I see.

We used an AED and his breathing has already returned.

Since he had chest pain, it was most likely a heart attack.

We'll transport him right away.

Please.

It's okay. We'll take you to the hospital now.

Just a little longer.

- Come on. - Okay.

- Let's go. - Okay.

I'm a doctor, Tendo. I'll come too.

Thank you.

You get in too.

Y-Yes!

[Wada Yoko]

Sorry for keeping you waiting. Here's your hot towel.

Too slow!

I'm sorry. We suddenly had to do an examination.

Then don't say you'll come immediately in the nurse call.

Think of how the waiting patient feels.

I'm terribly sorry.

Hey, hey, hey, hey...

That lady over there?

She used to be a nurse!

- So that's why she's so strict... - From the wrist.

- Yes, use your wrists. - Okay.

Did Wada-san call you again?

Otsukaresama desu.

If she won't accept you,

we probably all fail her test.

She reminds me of my mother.

Your mother?

She used to be a nurse...

and every time we meet, she gives me a strict check,

on whether I'm doing everything right.

Maybe that's why...

I'm kind of uncomfortable with Wada-san too.

Me too.

Huh?

My mother's a pharmacist,

and she still doesn't believe that I put in my prescriptions properly.

We both have tough parents.

Take care of this for me.

Okay.

I'm glad Tsutsumi-san was okay.

The first aid was good so he's recovering well.

But...

Sensei, why...

If you follow me that obviously, it's only normal to notice.

You're angry that I followed you, aren't you?

Your order is ready!

Thank you.

Huh?

Sensei, what about the dinner?

Idiot.

When you come to Osaka, it has to be takoyaki.

Eh?

If you don't want it, I'll eat it all.

Ahh, wait! Wait!

I want some.

Itadakimasu.

Ah, wait...

It's hot!

It's yummy!

My first date with sensei...

And it's in Osaka!

A first date that's also a holiday, how great is that?

Ahh...

I wish time would just stop!

That reminds me...

Where are you staying?

- Which hotel? - Yeah.

Ryuko-san reserved a room for me at a place she likes.

"Kairi, Nanako-chan, good luck ♥"

Ryuko-san...

Damn you, sis...

Double bed.

Gosh, silly Ryuko-san!

Don't joke with me, bumblebee~

Wow!

It's amazing!

We can look out over the whole city of Namba!

Sorry.

Oh, that's right!

Since we're here, do you want to act like we're on a school trip

and have a pillow fight?

I don't.

Of course.

Oh, I've brought all kinds of things with me!

Let's see...

A chess set...

A deck of cards... Oh, will you play President with me?

I won't.

Of course~

Then, there's this interesting game app.

An escape game.

You get trapped in a hotel on a desert island

and have to solve the mystery based on strange notes and codes written on the walls.

[Nanako-chan, go for it!]

S...

S...

I mean s... s... s...

I'm sleepy now~

Excuse me for a minute.

What is this?!

Huh? You know,

it's my humble offering as logistics support.

You can't let this precious chance get away!

Well, have a lovely evening.

- Good night! - Huh?

Wait, Ryuko-san!

What do I do...

No, no, no, no, no...

I had a crush on him for 5 years.

You can do it!

Sensei...

I'm not perfect,

but please, for the years to come...

Please give me your guidance and support...

He's already sleeping.

He really is a prince.

Good night.

Nishi-kun.

What's wrong?

This came off.

It's alright.

I'll fix it right away.

Can you lift your hand up a bit?

Does it hurt?

I know. I'm sorry!

Huh?

I never expected Nishi

to calmly deal with sudden blood.

- Something's definitely wrong. - Yes!

Come on.

Even I've gotten somewhat more experienced.

What? You look upset, though.

You never even called Ryuko-san after that.

I feel bad for what I did too.

I shouldn't have gotten in the way of my precious staff member's romance.

No, this is my own problem...

I'm not particularly interested in anyone right now, though.

Oh, me too! We're similar~

That's why every time I see Nishi-kun like this,

I think Sakura-san is amazing.

She finally got the Tendo Kairi to look her way, after all!

Because she's the brave hero, she doesn't fear failure or shame,

and pushes forward even while stumbling.

That's why she won her happiness.

Ah.

I'm sorry.

I didn't have the courage...

With you being Tendo-sensei's sister...

And other things too...

I got the feeling I couldn't possibly compare to you.

That's why...

I couldn't reach out to you.

What do you know about me?

Huh?

You don't know anything.

You're right... I still don't...

Don't you...

want to know more?

- Here you are. - Thank you!

This is...

My absolute favourite food!

Fatty tuna, medium-fatty tuna​, lean tuna!

A 3 type set!

It looks so good!

I love tuna too!

But I don't like conger eel.

For me...

I don't like wasabi.

This is how we get to know each other.

Okay?

- Itadakimasu! - Itadakimasu.

It looks so good!

Mmm! And it tastes good too.

This is the best.

It's so yummy.

Wait, did I fall asleep?

[I'm going first. You come too.]

[131st Allied Health Professionals Seminar on Cardiology]

Excuse me.

Pardon me. Sorry.

Excuse me.

Now, presenting "Stages of heart failure and heart function,"

please come forward, Tendo-sensei from Hiura General Hospital.

My name is Tendo, I'm a doctor from the cardiology ward at Hiura General Hospital.

Please look at the screen.

To sum up, intervening properly at Stage A can be considered an important factor

in holding back the progression of heart failure.

That ends my talk on "Stages of heart failure and heart function".

Finally, we will take questions for Tendo-sensei.

The man in the glasses there, please.

I'm Sometani, a 3rd year at Naniwa Medical School.

Sensei, as a doctor, what do you consider to be most important?

Well...

I thought working as a doctor

was a battle between you and the patient's illness and with yourself as a doctor.

Something I mustn't lose.

But that was wrong.

Because, when you lose that battle,

the one who pays isn't the doctor, it's the patient.

Even if a doctor loses,

they can't sacrifice something for it.

We doctors can't save all lives like superheroes.

It's a shame to say, but there are certainly lives that can't be saved.

We...

don't have time to stop.

I wish I could've seen...

what kind of doctor you'll become.

I have a debt to pay to every person I couldn't save.

And to repay that debt, even slightly,

I will give my all to cure future patients' illnesses.

I believe that's the mission of a doctor.

Thank you very much.

I'm glad you came, Tendo-kun.

I'm grateful to you too.

- It's nothing. - Thank you.

Sakura-san.

I'm Wakabayashi.

I'm going to be working in cardiac surgery at Hiura General Hospital.

Oh, I see.

Let's work well together.

Do you have a minute?

I heard you're in a relationship with Tendo-sensei.

Please don't be nervous,

I just wanted to talk to you.

After getting over what happened with my sister,

what kind of person did Tendo-sensei happen to meet?

I couldn't help...

wanting to find out.

I'm just...

Rather than happening to meet,

it was like... I forcibly went to see him.

I still don't know if he's actually thinking of me.

I'm new...

And always making mistakes and being scolded...

So it's like while he was looking after me,

things ended up this way...

Oh...

Is that so?

That's surprising.

You're the complete opposite of my sister.

If I rush back I can make it in time for the conference.

What will you do?

I'll go back and do my laundry.

Welcome back, hero!

I heard, you little...

You had your first date, huh?

First date and first trip together.

Yay!

How was it? Did you get to relax a bit?

Oh, I have some souvenirs for you all.

- When you think of Osaka... - Oh, takoyaki senbei!

It's my hometown, though.

But I really like these.

Thank you for the holiday.

[Wada Yoko]

It's Wada-san again!

Yes, what's the matter?

Come quickly! Wada-san is...

Wada-san!

I'll be there right away.

Room 712's Wada-san is in shock.

- Because of the situation, cardiac surgery will-- - I'll go.

Can you do it after just getting back?

Of course.

She's blocked, with 30 bpm.

I see ST-T changes.

You started a right coronary artery (RCA) event, right?

Put in a temporary for imaging.

Depending on what it shows, we'll switch to surgery immediately.

First we need to check the RCA.

Let's put a stent in and open it up.

Inflation.

Nominal pressure 9.

That will improve the blood flow.

Circulation should improve too.

Let's watch the flow.

Yes, it's getting better.

The block has been fixed too.

Her blood pressure isn't rising.

- Is it from valvular heart disease? - It's going to crash.

- I'll take over for heart surgery. - No, she's in a poor condition.

But it won't improve if we don't do a thoracotomy and valve replacement.

It's risky. The burden is too big.

But still!

Balloon...

We'll open the valve with a balloon catheter.

Tendo.

Wada-san's left leg has stenosis.

It might be hard for a catheter.

Let's do a cutdown and insert the catheter directly.

That works, right?

- I'm making an incision. Get an electric scalpel. - Okay.

Onuki-san, prepare a cutdown set.

The artery is visible.

Now we can do this.

Right.

Making a puncture.

I'll hold it up.

I'll go here.

Okay.

- Would that be enough? - Okay.

Any resistance?

- No, I'll keep going. - Okay.

Wada-san.

You're okay now.

Oh...

I thought it might be refreshing after a surgery.

I'm sorry, I shouldn't have.

Thank you.

How is Wada-san?

She's stable.

She just woke up too.

Oh, I'll go tell sensei.

Ah.

It looks like Tendo-sensei and Wakabayashi-sensei

had really good teamwork.

It was the same with her sister too.

Minori-sensei, right?

I wasn't sure about it at first.

Would taking in Wakayabashi-sensei be good or bad for Tendo-kun?

But after all...

The more brilliant doctors the better.

Does it benefit the patient or not?

That's the only criteria.

She's talented.

I think she and Tendo-sensei will make a good pair.

Minori-sensei must be happy too.

Need something?

Thank you...

for thinking of my sister all this time.

I could tell from the operation just now.

You're a good doctor.

You must have worried and struggled,

and worked hard

for my sister's part too.

I've always wanted to talk to you.

I thought that with you, the pain of losing my sister

and using it as fuel to work hard as a doctor is...

something we could share.

I've...

come to like you.

♪ Egg on rice and natto on rice...

♪ When you mix it up

♪ it gives you energy

What song was that?

Kisugi-sensei.

Are you okay?

I'm okay. This is only my second one.

Let's leave it there, shall we?

Sakura-chan, did you know?

Tokyo Skytree has 2523 steps to the top.

I wanted to try climbing them once so I went there.

But then...

They said I can't because they're emergency stairs​.

For Tendo-sensei...

There's been a better match for him than me,

both before and now.

There's no way we'd go well together.

I... already knew that, but...

Someone like me...

is just a pawn in chess.

The joker in old maid.

In President...

Huh? What was it again?

2? 3?

Just...

a troublesome rock...

who doesn't know her place.

Ah...

I'm sorry, I've been...

Sorry.

Otsukaresama deshita.

Don't cry.

I'm here.

I like you.
