The fourth sister, Mimi, is a trainee doctor dreaming of becoming famous.

One day, Umi calls the four sisters together and introduces them to a young girl they have never seen before. It turns out to be Hiyo their heretofore unknown half-sister from Hokkaido. Hiyo is very sick, her body being invaded by a heavy illness.
