**[00:50] Kukuru**
Do what's right,
and everything will work out.
**[01:08] Kukuru**
Help, please!
**[01:10] Kukuru**
I can't go on like this.

**[02:10] Manager**
She was probably never
serious about it to begin with.
**[02:13] Manager**
She's naïve if she thinks she can get away
with giving up her opportunity to someone else.
**[02:16] A**
True.
**[02:17] A**
She's been losing popularity lately.
**[02:19] A**
I guess she wasn't cut out for it.
**[02:21] A**
She's pretty,
but she never really stood out.
**[02:23] Manager**
She might end up regretting it after she quits
and learns how tough the real world is.
**[02:29] Fuuka**
I finished the paperwork
for my school transfer.
**[02:32] Fuuka**
The moving truck left, too,
so I'll be heading back home.
**[02:35] A**
Yeah?
**[02:37] Manager**
Good work, Fuuka.
**[02:39] Fuuka**
Thank you for all your help.
**[02:49] Ruka**
Senpai!
**[02:52] Fuuka**
Ruka-chan.
**[02:53] Ruka**
I heard from the manager,
so I wanted to see you.
**[02:58] Ruka**
This was my fault, wasn't it?
**[02:59] Ruka**
It's because I stole your
opportunity, Fuuka-senpai.
**[03:02] Fuuka**
No, not at all.
**[03:05] Fuuka**
It was my decision to quit.
**[03:09] Ruka**
I'm sorry!
**[03:11] Fuuka**
It's all right.
**[03:13] Fuuka**
Just do one thing for me.
**[03:15] Ruka**
Senpai?
**[03:17] Fuuka**
Work hard. For my sake, too.
**[03:27] Fuuka**
Hello?
**[03:28] Mom**
*Fuuka.*
**[03:29] Mom**
*How's it going?*
**[03:30] Fuuka**
I'm about to buy a ticket.
**[03:32] Mom**
*Sorry I couldn't go to help.*
**[03:35] Mom**
* It happened at the same time*
* as the neighborhood association trip.*
**[03:37] Fuuka**
It's fine.
**[03:39] Fuuka**
I didn't have that much to carry, after all.
**[03:41] Fuuka**
I should be in Morioka by evening.
**[03:43] Mom**
Dad will be waiting for you at home.
**[03:46] Mom**
You don't have to worry about anything
when you get home.
**[03:47] Mom**
I told the neighbors what's going on, too.
**[03:50] Fuuka**
*What?*
**[03:51] Mom**
This kind of news spreads
even if you try to hide them.
**[03:54] Mom**
Everyone's looking forward
**[03:56] Mom**
*to seeing you back home.*
**[03:58] Fuuka**
Who's "everyone"?
**[03:59] Mom**
*Granny Sasaki, Akko-neechan, and others.*
**[04:02] Mom**
* They're all set on throwing a party*
* to cheer you up.*
**[04:07] Mom**
* Entertainment isn't exactly*
* stable work, anyway.*
**[04:10] Mom**
* Everyone says you made*
* the right move, quitting early.*
**[04:17] Mom**
*I should get going.*
**[04:18] Mom**
*Get home safe.*
**[04:19] Mom**
*Contact me when you get home.*
**[04:25] Fuuka**

**[04:57] B**
The beach, obviously.
**[05:24] Fortune teller**
I can see it.
**[05:27] Fortune teller**
There's something weighing on you.
**[05:31] Fortune teller**
I can see everything.
**[05:37] Fuuka**
Um...
**[05:38] Fuuka**
Are you a fortune teller?
**[05:42] Fortune teller**
Your right hand.
**[05:46] Fortune teller**
Oh, dear!
**[05:51] Fortune teller**
Do you want to know?
**[05:53] ---**
Y-Yeah!
**[05:55] Fuuka**
3,000 yen for ten minutes.
**[06:00] Fortune teller**
You're the insular, studious type
without much street smarts.
**[06:04] Fortune teller**
You don't know how to say "no."
**[06:07] Fortune teller**
From the condition of your skin,
you're in your late teens.
**[06:09] Fuuka**
You're right!
**[06:12] Fortune teller**
You traveled on your own from Tokyo.
**[06:14] Fuuka**
Wow, that's so specific!
**[06:16] Fortune teller**
I can just tell.
**[06:19] Fuuka**
U-Um...
**[06:20] Fuuka**
What is such a talented fortune teller
like you doing in such a small shop?
**[06:28] Fortune teller**
And then my husband cheated on me, too.
**[06:31] Fortune teller**
I've got such horrible luck.
**[06:33] Fuuka**
That's disappointing.
**[06:36] Fuuka**
Oh, yeah.
**[06:37] Fuuka**
I want you to have this
to help you feel better.
**[06:41] Fortune teller**
You're a good girl.
**[06:44] Fuuka**
Oh, the time...
**[06:47] Fortune teller**
All right.
**[06:48] Fortune teller**
I'll give you my best reading.
**[06:50] Fortune teller**
Write down your birthday here.
**[06:58] Fortune teller**
You haven't had much good fortune lately.
**[07:01] Fortune teller**
You're lost right now.
**[07:04] Fortune teller**
Head toward Sagittarius.
It shows up around sunset.
**[07:08] Fortune teller**
You'll have a good encounter there.
**[07:15] Fuuka**
O-Okay.
**[07:21] Fortune teller**
No, no.
**[07:23] Fortune teller**
There's a phrase in Okinawa:
"Meet once, and we're siblings."
**[07:27] Fortune teller**
There must have been a reason
that we met each other.
**[07:29] Fortune teller**
We'll help each other out
in times of need.
**[07:34] Fuuka**
Thank you.
**[07:40] Fuuka**
Sagittarius...
**[08:33] Fuuka**
*It feels so nice here.*
**[08:39] Fuuka**
*I'll figure it out.*

Morning, Kai, Udon-chan.
**[10:58] Kai**
I thought you'd be here.
**[11:00] Tsukimi**
Do you have remedial classes, too, Kukuru?
**[11:01] ---**
I missed too much school.
**[11:03] Kai**
You're working too hard.
**[11:05] ---**
Well, I have so much to do.
**[11:07] Kukuru**
Oh, yeah.
The banana fish was delicious.
**[11:09] Kai**
I caught it.
**[11:10] Kukuru**
Take me there again next time.
**[11:12] Kai**
Okay, sure.
**[11:14] Tsukimi**
Is that a date?
**[11:15] Kukuru**
Fishing.
**[11:15] Tsukimi**
So it's just work.
**[11:20] Tsukimi**
You know, Kukuru...
**[11:21] Tsukimi**
I wish you'd have more interest
not just in fish but in humanity.
**[11:26] Sensei**
And in class.
**[11:28] Sensei**
Misakino, what is this math report
you submitted?
***SIGN*** Squid-Raising Journal
**[11:32] Kukuru**
A squid-raising journal.
**[11:34] Sensei**
Why?
**[11:35] Sensei**
Why squid for math?
**[11:37] Kukuru**
The world of squid is more
interesting than math.
**[11:40] Sensei**
I mean, it was well-written, but...
**[11:44] Kukuru**
You know, Sensei...
**[11:45] Kukuru**
Squid live for only about a year.
**[11:48] Kukuru**
And sometimes they jump out of the tank
and turn into dried squid.
**[11:50] Kukuru**
They're really hard to raise.
**[11:53] Kukuru**
But the more you watch them,
the more adorable they are.
**[11:54] Tsukumi**
Sensei, can you start class please?
**[11:57] Kai**
This isn't getting anywhere.
**[11:59] Sensei**
I know.
**[12:00] Kukuru**
Ouch!

First off, here.
**[12:48] A**
You should stay hydrated.
**[12:50] A**

**[12:56] Fuuka**
Okay.

Maybe the human race has ended

**[15:55] Kukuru**
I'm going to go look around.
**[16:02] Fuuka**
So pretty.
**[16:08] Fuuka**
No one's going to notice
you hiding in that corner, you know.

**[16:27] Fuuka**
"It eats the moss off rocks and glass,
keeping the tank clean for us."
**[16:35] Fuuka**
I was hard-working, too.
**[16:39] Fuuka**
But I guess it isn't enough
to be hard-working.

**[18:55] Fuuka**
But...
**[18:58] ---**
it's over.
**[19:00] Fuuka**
It's all over.
**[19:02] Fuuka**
My dreams, my aspirations...
**[19:04] Fuuka**
I don't have anything.
**[19:53] Kukuru**
Did you just see *it*?
**[19:55] Fuuka**
Huh?
**[19:57] Kukuru**
Aquariums are strange places, aren't they?
**[20:00] Kukuru**
Strange creatures, strange ecologies...
**[20:04] Kukuru**
You get a glimpse into something
you don't normally get to see.
**[20:07] Kukuru**
But sometimes, you see
something even more strange.
**[20:13] Fuuka**
What did I just see?
**[20:16] Kukuru**
Don't tell anyone else, okay?
**[20:18] Fuuka**
O-Okay.
**[20:20] Kukuru**
It was probably a kijimunaa
playing tricks on you.
**[20:22] Kukuru**
This place is old, so you
can expect things to happen.
**[20:25] Kukuru**
At least, that's what Gramps said.
**[20:26] Fuuka**
"Kijimunaa"?
**[20:29] Kukuru**
Is this your first time here?
**[20:30] Fuuka**
Y-Yes.
**[20:32] Kukuru**
I'll show you around.
**[20:34] Fuuka**
But...
**[20:35] Kukuru**
Welcome to Gama Gama Aquarium.
**[20:38] Kukuru**
I'm the director, Misakino Kukuru.
**[22:10] Kukuru**
A gama is a kind of natural cave
that shows up in a part of Okinawa.
**[22:15] Kukuru**
A lot of sad things happened there
during the war, but a long time ago,
**[22:20] ---**
they said it was a place that connected
the real world to the underworld.
**[22:23] Kukuru**
It's called the Gama Gama Aquarium
**[22:26] Kukuru**
because it's a strange place
that's still near home.
**[22:29] Fuuka**
Huh.
**[22:31] Fuuka**
It seems more laid-back than strange, though.
**[22:35] Kukuru**
It's sorta like someone's
grandma's living room, too.
**[22:39] Fuuka**
I can see that.
**[22:42] Kukuru**
It's kind of nice, right?
**[22:51] Fuuka**
So cute.
**[22:52] A**
Kukuru!
**[22:54] A**
Come on. Is the pool ready yet?
**[22:57] Kukuru**
Sorry, next time.
**[22:59] A**
What? Why?
**[23:01] B**
Kukuru sucks!
**[23:02] Fuuka**
Pool?
**[23:04] Kukuru**
The touch pool,
where you can touch the animals.
**[23:07] Kukuru**
It's closed for a while.
**[23:09] Kukuru**
We don't have enough people.
**[23:11] Kukuru**
We've been trying to hire for a while,
but no one's taken the job.
**[23:24] Fuuka**
Hey!
**[23:25] Fuuka**
Please.
**[23:27] Fuuka**
Let me stay here!
**[23:30] Kukuru**
Huh?

I need to ask Gramps and Grams.

They said they'll take in a few for us.
**[03:13] Kukuru**
I don't want to give up yet.

I'm surprised your parents
let you do a live-in job.
**[03:25] Fuuka**
Oh, um...
**[03:27] Grandma**
Here, try this.
**[03:28] Fuuka**
Oh, it's all right.
**[03:29] Grandma**
Just try it.

Okay, thank you.
**[03:33] Fuuka**
Thanks.

I told you. My group members put on

One, ten, hundred, thousand, ten thousand...
**[05:10] Tsukimi**
Where are you going
to get all this money?!
**[05:12] Kukuru**
I'll figure it out.
**[05:14] Kukuru**
I'll work really hard over the summer
to bring in lots of customers.
**[05:17] Karin**
Are you sure you can bring in
so many so quickly?
**[05:20] Kukuru**
I'll make it work.
**[05:22] Kukuru**
This summer is my last chance.
**[05:30] Tsukimi**
If you make summer event flyers,
we'll hand them out for you.
**[05:34] ---**
Is that all right, Mom?
**[05:36] Mom**
Sure, go ahead.
**[05:38] Tsukimi**
She's hopeless.
**[05:39] Tsukimi**
She's drunk already.
**[05:41] Karin**
What about her fortune telling?
**[05:43] Tsukimi**
Only when her drinking buddies aren't around.
**[05:45] Tsukimi**
What a laid-back lifestyle, huh?
**[05:47] Tsukimi**
Meanwhile, she has her daughter
take care of the shop.
**[05:49] Karin**
Oh, yeah.
**[05:50] Karin**
I took a customer to Gama Gama today.
**[05:53] Karin**
A super pretty girl who seemed
to be going through some things.
**[05:56] Kukuru**
Oh, that's Miyazawa-san.
**[05:58] Kukuru**
She's going to be living in at my place
and working at the aquarium.
**[06:01] Tsukimi**
"Living in"?!
**[06:03] Kukuru**
Yeah.
**[06:04] Kukuru**
Now that we have more staff,
we can put on more events, too.
**[06:07] Kukuru**
I'm going to make it happen.
**[06:09] Kukuru**
This summer's going to be all about work!
**[06:20] Kukuru**
You'll have to bear with the lack of space.
**[06:22] Fuuka**
Thanks.
**[06:24] Kukuru**
Can I ask you something?
**[06:26] Fuuka**
Sure.
**[06:27] Kukuru**
Where were you going to go
if you couldn't work for us?
**[06:34] Fuuka**
Anywhere.
**[06:36] Kukuru**
Oh.
**[06:37] Kukuru**
It didn't have to be an aquarium, huh?
**[06:41] Kukuru**
You're in high school, aren't you?
**[06:43] Kukuru**
Where do you live?
**[06:45] Fuuka**
Do I have to answer that?
**[06:47] Kukuru**
Well, whatever.
**[06:49] Kukuru**
Although, as the summer director,
I'm curious.
**[06:54] Fuuka**
I'm sorry.
**[06:57] Kukuru**
Good morning.
**[06:58] Kukuru**
I'd like to introduce you all
to a new member of our team today.
**[07:02] Kuuya**
What? "You all"?
**[07:04] Kukuru**
This is Yakamashi Kuuya-san,
one of our attendants.
**[07:07] Fuuka**
I'm Miyazawa Fuuka.
**[07:09] Fuuka**
I'm looking forward to working with you.
**[07:10] Kuuya**
Hey.
**[07:12] Kukuru**
There's also Gramps, who's the aquarium director,
and Umi-yan, another attendant.
**[07:17] Kukuru**
But Gramps is out on business
a lot lately.
**[07:20] Kukuru**
Umi-yan is on break with a bad back.
**[07:23] Kuuya**
My shifts seriously suck.
**[07:25] Kukuru**
Miyazawa-san's going to be living with us
and working here for a while.
**[07:30] Kuuya**
Huh.
**[07:35] Kuuya**
I can't with girls.
**[07:36] Kuuya**
I'm going to go look around.
**[07:39] Kuuya**
Nope, nope, nope.
**[07:41] Kukuru**
Kuuya-san has a hard time around girls.
**[07:44] Kukuru**
Be gentle with him.
**[07:45] Fuuka**
Right...
**[07:47] Kukuru**
We also have a vet who comes in.
**[07:49] Kukuru**
I'll introduce you to them when we see them.
**[07:51] Fuuka**
Okay.
**[07:52] Kukuru**
Use these for now.
**[07:54] Fuuka**
Got it.
**[07:56] Fuuka**
Smells like fish.
**[07:57] Kukuru**
No way!
**[07:59] Kukuru**
No, no, never!
**[08:00] Kukuru**
Nail polish?!
**[08:02] Kukuru**
Don't put anything on your skin!
**[08:03] Kukuru**
No perfume or cosmetics, either!
**[08:05] Kukuru**
This is all for the sake
of the plants and animals!
**[08:07] Kukuru**
Remove it all!
**[08:08] Kukuru**
Clean yourself off!
**[08:10] Fuuka**
Okay.
**[08:11] Fuuka**
Sorry.
**[08:13] Kukuru**
No.
**[08:14] Kukuru**
I forgot to tell you, too.
**[08:16] Kukuru**
Just learn everything one at a time.
**[08:18] Fuuka**
Okay.
**[08:20] Kukuru**
We're going to be feeding
the penguins later today.
**[08:23] Kukuru**
Can you help out?
**[08:25] Fuuka**
Okay.
**[08:28] Kukuru**
We feed them horse mackerel,
defrosted in running water.
**[08:32] Kukuru**
That's Umi-yan's personal stuff.
***SIGN*** Do Not Eat
**[08:35] Kukuru**
Shochu-infused ice pops.
**[08:36] Fuuka**
"Shochu-infused"...
**[08:41] Kukuru**
We put vitamins in the gills
before we feed them to the penguins.
**[08:46] Kukuru**
The fish's nutritional value gets lost
when we defrost it.
**[08:50] Kukuru**
So we're supplementing them.
**[08:51] Fuuka**
Huh.
**[08:53] Kukuru**
The guests love feeding time.
**[08:57] Kukuru**
I'll take care of running the event.
**[08:59] Kukuru**
When I give you the signal,
feed them from the head, like this.
**[09:04] Kukuru**
I'll back you up, since it's your first time.
**[09:07] Fuuka**
G-Got it.
**[09:09] Kukuru**
Welcome, everyone!
**[09:12] Kukuru**
I see that we have even more kids than usual,
now that it's summer break.
**[09:17] Kukuru**
I'd like to present to you
the penguins' feeding time.
**[09:22] Kukuru**
In this bucket, we have horse mackerel.
**[09:24] A**
I haven't seen her here before.
**[09:26] B**
Which one?
**[09:27] A**
Her.
**[09:32] Kukuru**
Hurry! Hurry!
**[09:38] Fuuka**
Ow!
**[09:40] Kukuru**
Surprised, everyone?!
**[09:42] Kukuru**
Penguin beaks are quite sharp.
Feeding them can be...
**[09:46] Fuuka**
Wait...
**[09:49] Fuuka**
Ow!
**[09:52] Fuuka**
Stop!
**[09:54] Fuuka**
Stop pinching!
**[09:59] Fuuka**
I never said you could have that!
**[10:02] Fuuka**
No!
**[10:04] Fuuka**
No, no, no!
**[10:08] Fuuka**
No!
**[10:20] ---**
You...
***SIGN*** Getting Wet Is Part Of the Job
**[10:21] Kukuru**
You can't be serious.
**[10:24] Kukuru**
I can't blame you,
since this was your first time.
**[10:27] Fuuka**
Right.
**[10:28] Fuuka**
I'm sorry.
**[10:29] Kukuru**
The highest priority at an aquarium
is the safety of the plants and animals.
**[10:33] Kukuru**
You understand, don't you?
**[10:35] Kukuru**
If something goes wrong,
it's already too late.
**[10:39] Kukuru**
Hey, when you said you wanted this job,
did you even care what it was?
**[10:44] Kukuru**
Don't forget that you're in charge of
the animals' lives, and that they're precious.
**[10:49] Kukuru**
Protect them with everything you've got.
**[10:52] Kukuru**
That's what I've been taught.
**[10:55] Kukuru**
I'm sorry, but if something happens
to our animals, I won't forgive you.
**[11:03] Fuuka**
I'm sorry.
**[11:07] Kukuru**
Never mind the animals.
**[11:09] Kukuru**
Can you wash the tanks?
**[11:11] Fuuka**
Okay.
**[11:19] Fuuka**
Ow...
**[11:26] Fuuka**
I'm the worst.
**[11:44] Fuuka**
D-Do what's right,
**[11:49] Fuuka**
and everything will work out.
**[11:55] Fuuka**
Did I get that right?
**[12:00] Kukuru**
Don't forget to put this board out
when we open in the morning.
**[12:04] Fuuka**
Okay.
***SIGN*** Welcome to Gama Gama Aquarium
**[12:06] Fuuka**
This is cute.
**[12:08] Kukuru**
Thanks.
**[12:09] Kukuru**
We're a small aquarium.
**[12:12] Kukuru**
I wanted to be sincere
in welcoming our guests.
**[12:16] Fuuka**
*Sincere, huh?*
**[12:20] Fuuka**
What should I do next?
**[12:22] Kukuru**
Could you clean the front door, please?
**[12:24] Kukuru**
Wash it down a little.
**[12:26] Fuuka**
Got it.
**[12:27] A**
Hello there.
**[12:29] B**
Is the director here?
**[12:33] Kukuru**
Yes, that's me.
**[12:50] Karin**
Hey, from the other day.
**[12:53] Karin**
Kukuru was really happy
that she has a new member on staff.
**[12:59] Fuuka**
Although I'm on the verge of getting fired.
**[13:06] Karin**
I see.
**[13:08] Fuuka**
Yes.
**[13:08] Fuuka**
I really screwed up.
**[13:12] Karin**
I think Kukuru was just really angry
because she's struggling, too.
**[13:21] Karin**
This place might be closing soon.
**[13:26] Karin**
Gama Gama was about to go bust,
**[13:28] ---**
when Kukuru's grandpa took over
and kept it running until now.
***SIGN*** Welcome to Gama Gama
**[13:32] Karin**
The equipment's getting really old.
**[13:35] Karin**
You know how there's a ton
of machinery behind aquariums?
**[13:38] Karin**
Apparently, it's going to cost
a lot of money to keep it going.
**[13:43] Fuuka**
I never knew.
**[13:45] Karin**
Gramps had decided he'd close shop
at the end of summer and retire.
**[13:51] Karin**
But Kukuru hasn't given up.
**[13:54] Karin**
Gama Gama Aquarium is her dream.
**[14:00] Fuuka**
She's trying to hold on to her dream?
**[14:03] Karin**
So I think she's up against a wall.
**[14:06] Karin**
I'm sorry.
**[14:08] Karin**
I'd appreciate if you could cut her some slack.
**[14:10] Fuuka**
I want to be of as much help as I can, too.
**[14:15] Fuuka**
I know how she feels.
**[14:18] Fuuka**
I don't want her to suffer.
**[14:20] Karin**
Thanks.

**[14:23] Naze**
We happened to hear
that you might be closing.
**[14:26] Arama**
We thought you could use a hand.
**[14:29] Naze**
We could supply you
with the money you need right away.
**[14:33] Kukuru**
The money I need?
**[14:35] Naze**
No problem if you're underage, either.
**[14:38] Arama**
We have our ways of making it work.
**[14:41] Arama**
Right?
**[14:42] Kukuru**
We aren't closing.
**[14:44] Kukuru**
Please leave.
**[14:46] Karin**
I'm here to pick up leaflets.
**[14:49] Karin**
I thought I'd hand them out at
the upcoming Tourism Association event.
**[14:53] Fuuka**
I think I saw some extra at reception.
**[14:56] Arama**
I thought it'd be an easy day,
selling to a kid.
**[14:59] Naze**
What a lousy director.
**[15:02] Arama**
She's just a high-school kid.
**[15:04] Arama**
She should just take the money.
**[15:06] Naze**
It's just some brat running it for fun.
**[15:09] Naze**
This aquarium's going under in no time.
**[15:16] Kuuya**
Huh, was someone here?
**[15:21] Kukuru**
I'm going to go spread some salt!
**[15:24] Arama**
What the hell are you doing?
**[15:26] Arama**
Damn.
**[15:27] Karin**
Awful.
**[15:32] Naze**
Oh, I'm sorry.
**[15:34] Naze**
I'll pay for it.
**[15:35] Naze**
How much is it?
**[15:37] Fuuka**
You're so low.
**[15:39] ---**
Wha?
**[15:40] Fuuka**
You're so low!
**[15:41] Fuuka**
Go away!
**[15:43] Fuuka**
I don't want you here anymore
if you don't know how valuable this board is!
**[15:47] Fuuka**
Go away!
**[15:53] Fuuka**
Never come back!
**[15:55] Arama**
You're a piece of shit!
**[15:57] Naze**
Enjoy losing your jobs!
**[15:59] ---**
No way...
**[16:12] Fuuka**
I'm sorry for acting out of turn!
**[16:17] Kukuru**
As the director, I find it inexcusable
that you would spray water at a visitor,
**[16:21] ---**
whoever they may be.
**[16:24] Kukuru**
You'd be fired immediately.
**[16:26] Kukuru**
On the other hand...
**[16:28] Kukuru**
Well, they weren't customers.
**[16:31] Kukuru**
And I feel better.
**[16:33] Kukuru**
Thanks.
**[16:35] Kuuya**
Thank goodness.
**[16:37] Kuuya**
I thought I'd be working non-stop again.
**[16:41] Kuuya**
I'm actually going to die.
**[16:42] Kuuya**
Come on. Seriously.
**[16:43] Kukuru**
You make it sound so serious.
**[16:45] Karin**
Hey, Kukuru, I'll call Udon-chan.
**[16:48] Karin**
Let's hold a welcome party tonight.
**[16:50] Fuuka**
It's fine.
**[16:51] Karin**
Don't worry.
**[16:52] Karin**
We're all bored in the countryside.
**[16:53] Karin**
Meet up at seven.
**[16:55] Fuuka**
Are you sure?
**[16:56] Kuuya**
She's just looking for an excuse to drink.
**[16:59] Kuuya**
You can turn her down.
**[17:00] Karin**
You're coming, too!
**[17:02] Kuuya**
There's no way.
**[17:03] Kukuru**
Maybe I'll bring Grams's plum wine.
**[17:06] Kukuru**
Karin-chan will appreciate it.
**[17:08] Kuuya**
Grams's plum wine...
**[17:12] Karin**
And then Fuuka-chan here
sprayed them down with the hose!
**[17:17] Fuuka**
I'm sorry.
**[17:18] Karin**
Why? That was awesome!
**[17:21] Tsukimi**
Huh?
**[17:22] Tsukimi**
You're here, too, Kai?
**[17:24] Kai**
Kuuya-san invited me.
**[17:25] Kai**
He dragged me in,
because he didn't want it to be all girls.
**[17:28] Kuuya**
Cheers!
**[17:29] Kuuya**
Are you drinking your juice, Kai-kun?
**[17:31] Kuuya**
Man, the booze is better when you're
drinking with good-looking guys.
**[17:35] Kai**
You're so generous when you're drunk.
**[17:37] Kai**
And you don't remember any of it.
**[17:39] Tsukimi**
Have you all introduced yourselves yet?
**[17:41] Fuuka**
Yes.
**[17:42] Fuuka**
Um...
**[17:43] Fuuka**
Karin-san, of the Tourism Association.
**[17:45] Fuuka**
Kai-kun, who's in the same grade
as the director.
**[17:48] Kukuru**
This is Udon-chan.
**[17:50] Kukuru**
She's the poster girl for this shop,
and my classmate.
**[17:53] Fuuka**
"Udon-chan"?
**[17:54] Karin**
Her name's Tsukimi, so she's Udon-chan,
as in *tsukimi udon*.
**[17:58] Tsukimi**
That's right.
**[17:59] Tsukimi**
Nice to meet you, Fuuka-chan.
**[18:01] Tsukimi**
How long are you staying over here?
**[18:04] Fuuka**
For as long as I can.
**[18:06] Kukuru**
We're able to fill our shifts for a while,
but with Umi-yan and Gramps gone,
**[18:09] ---**
we don't have enough guys for heavy lifting.
**[18:12] Kai**
Should I help?
**[18:16] Kai**
Just for summer break, right?
**[18:18] Kai**
I'll be helping with my dad's work
in the mornings, but I'll be free after.
**[18:22] Kai**
If that's good enough.
**[18:23] Kukuru**
Kai! Yes, please!
**[18:26] Kai**
Starting when?
**[18:27] Kukuru**
Tomorrow.
**[18:28] Kai**
What?!
**[18:30] Kai**
Fine.
**[18:31] Tsukimi**
Good luck.
**[18:32] Kai**
You said you needed help, so—
**[18:35] Kuuya**
You're doing it for me?!
**[18:36] Kuuya**
Kai-kun!
**[18:37] Kai**
Kuuya-san?!
**[18:38] Kukuru**
All right, I'm feeling pumped.

Sorry I never told you about it closing.
**[19:01] Fuuka**
It's okay.
**[19:02] Fuuka**
Karin-san told me.
**[19:04] Fuuka**
Also that you're betting your summer on it.
**[19:09] Kukuru**
Yeah.
**[19:11] Kukuru**
I love Gama Gama Aquarium.
**[19:15] Kukuru**
This is my home.
**[19:17] Kukuru**
My special place.
**[19:19] Kukuru**
My dream is to protect it forever.
**[19:25] Kukuru**
I just have to do what I can right now.
**[19:39] Fuuka**
There's something I want to tell you, too.
**[19:42] Fuuka**
I ran away here,
after I got fired as an idol.
**[19:53] Fuuka**
I had a dream since I was a kid.
I moved to Tokyo when I was
**[19:56] Fuuka**
in middle school to make it happen.
**[19:58] Fuuka**
I was in the corner of my group
when I first made my debut,
**[20:02] ---**
but I was finally as a candidate
to be in the center.

**[20:06] Fuuka**
But then...
**[20:07] (Flashback) Ruka**
My grandma hasn't been doing too well.
**[20:10] (Flashback) Ruka**
This concert might be my last chance!
**[20:13] (Flashback) Manager**
But...
**[20:14] (Flashback) Ruka**
Please! Just this once!
**[20:17] (Flashback) Ruka**
Please let me have the next concert.
**[20:20] Fuuka**
I gave it some thought, and gave up
my opportunity to be in the center.
**[20:24] Fuuka**
I gave my chance to a newer member.
**[20:27] Fuuka**
I guess the manager and staff
thought I was being lazy.
**[20:32] Fuuka**
I lost more and more work after that.
**[20:37] Fuuka**
They told me maybe
it was time to call it quits,
**[20:39] ---**
especially since I'm graduating
high school this year.
**[20:42] Kukuru**
Time to call it quits?
**[20:44] Fuuka**
I got fired.
**[20:47] Fuuka**
My dream ended.
**[20:53] Fuuka**
I ended up here after all that,
**[20:56] ---**
and actually, I haven't even told
my parents where I am right now.
**[21:00] Kukuru**
You're a runaway?!
**[21:02] Fuuka**
I'll let them know once I settle down.
**[21:05] Kukuru**
That's pretty heavy, Miyazawa-san.
**[21:08] Fuuka**
I think so, too.
**[21:18] Kukuru**
Thanks for telling me.
**[21:20] Fuuka**
I feel a little better, too,
now that I've opened up.
**[21:27] Fuuka**
May I stay here?
**[21:32] Fuuka**
I didn't care where I went at first.
**[21:34] Fuuka**
But now, it's different.
**[21:37] Fuuka**
My dream's over, but I can
still support someone's dream.
**[21:43] Fuuka**
I don't want you to give up, Director.
**[21:53] Kukuru**
You can call me "Kukuru."
**[21:55] Kukuru**
Help me with my dream, Fuuka.

It's delicious.
**[00:56] Fuuka**
Shall I make some tea?
**[00:58] Gramps**
I'll have some.
**[01:03] Kukuru**
I know you're freeloading,
but you don't have to do all this for us.
**[01:07] Fuuka**
It makes me happy
to see you appreciate it, though.
**[01:11] Kukuru**
If you say so, Fuuka.
**[01:14] Gramps**
Thanks.
**[01:15] Kukuru**
Oh, I have remedial classes today.
**[01:18] Kukuru**
I'll see you at work.
**[01:19] Fuuka**
Got it.
**[01:30] Sensei**
You can leave once you've
submitted your work.
**[01:33] A**
Later, Sensei.
**[01:35] Sensei**
Yep.
**[01:35] Sensei**
You'd better be here tomorrow.
**[01:37] ---**
Sure.
**[01:37] Kukuru**
Bye, Sensei.
**[01:39] Sensei**
Misakino.
**[01:41] ---**
Yeah?
**[01:42] Sensei**
Your brain's an aquarium, isn't it?
**[01:44] Kukuru**
It is.
**[01:46] Sensei**
That's fine and all,
but you need to stop missing classes,
**[01:50] ---**
or you're going to have
a hard time graduating.
**[01:53] Kukuru**
I wouldn't mind quitting,
but Gramps says I should finish high school.
**[01:57] Sensei**
Listen...
**[01:58] Sensei**
I've been going easy on you, because I know
you're going to inherit the aquarium.
**[02:03] Sensei**
But it might be closing, right?
**[02:06] Kukuru**
Who told you that?!
**[02:07] Sensei**
It's just a rumor.
**[02:09] Sensei**
I heard you're the director there right now.
**[02:12] Sensei**
You're a high-schooler.
**[02:14] Sensei**
You need to take it easy.
**[02:15] Kukuru**
No one's going to do it if I don't!
**[02:21] Kukuru**
Pardon me.
**[02:25] Sensei**
It's a gift to have something
you care about so much, but I mean...
**[02:34] A**
Misakino-san.
**[02:36] A**
Are you going to the aquarium again?
**[02:37] Kukuru**
Yeah.
**[02:38] Kukuru**
I'm on my way there.
**[02:39] B**
You're so hard working.
Good for you.
**[02:41] A**
I support you.
**[02:43] Kukuru**
You could come hang out,
if you want to support me.
**[02:45] Kukuru**
We're going to hold a bunch
of events over the summer.
**[02:49] A**
Okay.
**[02:50] A**
I'll go on a date there.
**[02:51] Kukuru**
Huh?
**[02:52] Kukuru**
You have a boyfriend?
**[02:53] A**
I'll make sure I have one
by the end of this summer.
**[02:57] Kukuru**
See you.
**[02:58] A**
Bye.
**[03:06] Gramps**
Kuuya-kun, I'm done for the day.
**[03:10] Kuuya**
You're leaving already?
**[03:12] Gramps**
Yeah.
**[03:13] Gramps**
I'm headed to Fukuoka.
**[03:14] Gramps**
I'll be late.
**[03:17] Kuuya**
Any luck finding people to adopt the animals?
**[03:20] Gramps**
For only about half of them.
**[03:23] Kuuya**
I see.
**[03:24] Gramps**
Don't worry.
**[03:25] Gramps**
I'll find people to adopt the staff, too.
**[03:28] Kuuya**
No, I was kind of taken in by you.
**[03:34] Kuuya**
I haven't really thought about the future.
**[03:48] Fuuka**
Thank you.
**[03:58] Fuuka**
This is so cute.
***SIGN*** First Penguin
***SIGN*** Key chains
**[04:02] Fuuka**
"First Penguin"?
**[04:04] Kuuya**
Oh, those?
**[04:05] Kuuya**
The acting director made those.
**[04:08] Kuuya**
They don't sell too well.
**[04:11] Kuuya**
The postcards sell out.
**[04:13] Kuuya**
Be sure to stock extra.
**[04:15] Fuuka**
Got it.
**[04:17] Kuuya**
Nope. Nope.
***SIGN*** What's a First Penguin?
***SIGN*** Someone who courageously takes on risks,
like the first penguin that jumps into the water regardless of circumstances.
It can terrifying to be the first person to challenge something new,
but once you do, the others will follow. A First Penguin has strength
within them to have a positive impact on the people around them.
**[04:21] Fuuka**
*"Someone who courageously takes on risks,*
**[04:27] ---**
* like the first penguin that jumps*
* into the water regardless of circumstances."*
**[04:32] A**
It's been a while.
**[04:34] Kukuru**
Kai!
**[04:35] Kukuru**
Thanks for waiting.
**[04:37] Kai**
I'm here, as promised.
**[04:40] Kuuya**
Man, I'm so glad you're a dude.
**[04:45] Kuuya**
Thanks, Kai-kun.
**[04:45] Fuuka**
I've never seen him smile like that.
**[04:47] Kukuru**
He's just not good around girls.
**[04:49] Kukuru**
He doesn't mean anything by it.
**[04:52] Kai**
I'm Nakamura Kai.
**[04:54] Kai**
I'm going to be working with
you here starting today.
**[04:55] Kai**
I look forward to it.
**[04:57] Kukuru**
Kai, you can help Kuuya-san with his jobs.
**[05:00] Kukuru**
Fuuka and I are going to weigh the penguins.
**[05:03] Fuuka**
O-Okay.
**[05:10] Fuuka**
Penguins...
**[05:15] Kukuru**
We weigh each of the penguins, one by one.
**[05:19] Kukuru**
I usually start with Choko.
**[05:22] Kukuru**
We normally do routine checkups, but the vet,
Takeshita-sensei, is on maternity leave.
**[05:28] Fuuka**
Um, Kukuru...
**[05:30] Fuuka**
Director Kukuru.
**[05:31] Kukuru**
You can call me "Kukuru," remember?
**[05:34] Fuuka**
But it's easier to call you "Director" at work.
**[05:37] Kukuru**
Yeah?
**[05:39] Fuuka**
How do you tell these kids apart?
**[05:42] Kukuru**
You can read the tags on their flippers.
**[05:45] Kukuru**
But you'll start noticing things
that are unique about each of them.
**[05:49] Kukuru**
Choko is friendly and wants to be pampered.
**[05:51] Kukuru**
Choko's been here for nearly fifteen years
**[05:53] Kukuru**
and is used to the staff, too.
**[05:55] Fuuka**
Oh yeah, when I was feeding them
the first time...
**[06:02] Fuuka**
Choko-san was at the front.
**[06:05] Fuuka**
I'm going to be calm this time.
**[06:12] Kukuru**
You managed to feed 'em.
**[06:14] Fuuka**
Thank goodness.
**[06:16] Kukuru**
Choko's a big eater.
**[06:18] Fuuka**
Really?
**[06:19] Kukuru**
Yeah.
**[06:20] Kukuru**
The attendants have to be able
to know really quickly
**[06:23] ---**
how much they've had to eat
and adjust their feed.
**[06:28] Kukuru**
More for the lighter ones;
less for the chubby ones, for example.
**[06:33] Kukuru**
That's why we weigh them.
**[06:35] Fuuka**
Okay.
**[06:38] Fuuka**
Eat well, Choko-san.
**[06:42] Kukuru**
Huh?
**[06:43] Kukuru**
Something seems off.
**[06:45] ---**
Choko?
**[06:46] ---**
Really?
**[06:50] ---**
This is...
**[06:52] Kukuru**
Bumblefoot?
***SIGN*** June 25, 2006 (Sunday)
***SIGN*** Madeleine (Male, 9 years)
***SIGN*** Left foot: center sore (3.0mm high, 2.9mm wide)
***SIGN*** Right foot: center sore (4.2mm high, 3.8mm wide)
***SIGN*** Area around sores and heels are rough
**[06:54] Kukuru**
It's a problem that penguins often have.
**[06:56] Kukuru**
It's kind of like having corns,
but when it gets bad, it can become contagious.
**[07:00] Kukuru**
We can't leave it untreated.
**[07:02] Kuuya**
Penguins in aquariums tend
not to get enough activity on their own.
**[07:06] Kuuya**
So they're susceptible to these symptoms.
**[07:09] Kukuru**
We walk them to try to prevent it.
**[07:12] Kuuya**
Just talk to the director when he gets back.
**[07:16] Kukuru**
This might be too urgent for that.
**[07:19] Kuuya**
Nah, you should leave this to a veteran.
**[07:23] Kukuru**
I'm the director!
**[07:26] Kukuru**
I'll talk to Takeshita-sensei.
**[07:29] Fuuka**
The one on maternity leave?
**[07:30] Kuuya**
No, man.
**[07:31] Kuuya**
You gotta report to the director first.
**[07:33] Kukuru**
I'm just going to make a quick call.
**[07:42] Kukuru**
Really?
**[07:44] Takeshita**
*Yeah.*
**[07:45] Takeshita**
*I'll go take a quick look.*
**[07:46] Takeshita**
*You want it checked out quickly, right?*
**[07:48] Kukuru**
Thank you.
**[07:49] Kukuru**
I appreciate it.
**[07:50] Kukuru**
Yes.
**[07:51] Kukuru**
Yes.
**[07:54] Fuuka**
Hi, pardon me.
**[07:57] Fuuka**
The director asked me to help you out.
**[08:00] Kai**
Then, I haven't done these
ones yet, so could you?
**[08:03] Fuuka**
Okay.
**[08:14] Kai**
I'll get it.
**[08:19] Fuuka**
Thank you.
**[08:21] Fuuka**
You're like a man of the sea.
**[08:24] Kai**
Me?
**[08:25] Fuuka**
You're not really like Kuuya-san.
**[08:29] Kai**
That guy? For sure.
**[08:35] Kai**
How are things?
**[08:37] Fuuka**
What things?
**[08:39] Kai**
Kukuru.
**[08:40] Kai**
You're living with her, aren't you?
**[08:42] Fuuka**
Yes.
**[08:42] Fuuka**
I'm in her care.
**[08:44] Kai**
She can be kind of odd.
**[08:48] Kai**
And she's an aquarium freak,
so she's constantly talking about fish.
**[08:52] Fuuka**
I know what you mean.
**[08:55] Kai**
Kukuru lost her parents when she was little.
**[09:01] Kai**
She used to come to Gama Gama Aquarium
with her parents a lot, apparently.
**[09:06] Kai**
Her most precious memories must be here.
**[09:10] Kai**
Her gramps took her in,
and she's been helping at the aquarium.
**[09:14] Kai**
The fish must be
like a surrogate family to her.
**[09:20] Kai**
Her whole reason for becoming the director
for the summer was to protect this place.
**[09:24] Kai**
I think she's having it rough,
doing it all by herself.
**[09:29] Kai**
So I want you to help her out.
**[09:34] Kai**
I'll do the best I can, too.
**[09:36] Kai**
With heavy lifting and stuff.
**[09:38] Fuuka**
Okay.
**[09:40] Fuuka**
You're kind, huh?
**[09:41] Kai**
No, she's just an annoying friend.
**[09:44] Kai**
That's all.

**[09:46] Karin**
I'm so pissed!
**[09:49] Karin**
I keep asking for extensions
on the subsidies for Gama Gama,
**[09:52] ---**
but they just won't listen.
**[09:54] Tsukimi**
That's bureaucracy for you.
**[09:57] Karin**
Those assholes even had the nerve to tell me
**[10:00] ---**
that it's ridiculous
the director is a high-schooler.
**[10:02] Tsukimi**
Hey, watch your language.
**[10:06] Tsukimi**
I like that you're doing all that for her, though.
**[10:09] Tsukimi**
You're such a nice person, Karin-chan.
**[10:16] Karin**
I just don't want to see Gama Gama go away.
**[10:20] Karin**
I've gone there a ton of times
since I was little.
**[10:23] Karin**
It's a precious part of my hometown.
**[10:25] Karin**
I don't know how to describe it.
**[10:27] Tsukimi**
I kind of get it.
**[10:29] Karin**
Besides, how could you not want to support her?
**[10:32] Karin**
She's working so hard.
**[10:36] Tsukimi**
And here's a freebie
for *this* hard-working lady.
**[10:41] Karin**
Udon-chan!
**[10:47] Kukuru**
Takeshita-sensei!
**[10:49] Takeshita**
Sorry I'm late.
**[10:51] Takeshita**
The traffic was really bad.
**[10:54] Kukuru**
You've gotten big.
**[10:57] Takeshita**
I'm past due,
but he just won't come out.
**[11:01] Kukuru**
I'm sorry, Sensei.
**[11:03] Kukuru**
I dragged you out here.
**[11:05] ---**
It's fine.
**[11:06] Takeshita**
My doctor even told me
some exercise will do us good.
**[11:14] Takeshita**
You're right, Kukuru-chan.
**[11:16] Takeshita**
It's an early case of bumblefoot.
**[11:18] Kukuru**
It is, huh?
**[11:19] Takeshita**
Let's use wound dressing.
**[11:22] Takeshita**
We'll protect the affected area,
so it doesn't get dirty or wet,
**[11:25] ---**
and observe Choko in a dry area.
**[11:29] Takeshita**
That's the best we can do for now.
**[11:32] Kukuru**
Understood.
**[11:37] Kukuru**
Sensei, if it's all right, would you be able
to check on the other penguins?
**[11:43] Takeshita**
Sure.
**[11:44] Takeshita**
Since I'm here,
I might as well take a look.
**[11:47] Kukuru**
Thank you!
**[11:49] Kukuru**
But are you really sure?
**[11:53] Takeshita**
I'm fine.
**[11:59] Kukuru**
What's wrong?
**[12:02] Takeshita**
It hurts a little.
***SIGN*** Life Begins In the Ocean
**[12:13] Kukuru**
Are you all right, Sensei?
**[12:16] Takeshita**
I think my water broke.
**[12:19] Kukuru**
What do we do?
**[12:20] Kukuru**
This is my fault.
**[12:23] Kukuru**
I'm sorry.
**[12:24] Takeshita**
Could you call a taxi?
**[12:26] Takeshita**
And get my bag.
**[12:28] Kukuru**
O-Okay.
**[12:33] Kuuya**
Hey, no running in the aquarium.
**[12:36] Kukuru**
It's about to be born!
**[12:37] Kuuya**
The damselfish?
**[12:38] Kukuru**
The bag!
**[12:39] Kukuru**
Takeshita-sensei's bag!
**[12:41] Kuuya**
What's gotten into you, Acting Director?
**[12:50] Kukuru**
*I have to get a grip.*
**[12:52] Kukuru**
Kuuya-san, get Kai and Fuuka.
**[12:55] Kukuru**
Takeshita-sensei's water broke.
**[12:57] Kuuya**
Sure.
**[12:59] Kuuya**
Huh?
**[13:09] Kuuya**
Are you all right, Sensei?
**[13:11] Kukuru**
I'll leave your bag here.
**[13:13] Takeshita**
Thanks.
**[13:15] Fuuka**
I brought towels.
**[13:17] Kukuru**
Thanks.
**[13:20] Fuuka**
Does the aquarium not have a car?
**[13:22] Kuuya**
We do, but I don't have a license.
**[13:25] Kuuya**
I'll go look for a taxi.
**[13:31] Kukuru**
Excuse us. We need
to use this area for a while.
**[13:40] Takeshita**
Hello? It's Takeshita.
**[13:43] Takeshita**
My water broke while I was out.
**[13:46] Kukuru**
Kai, could you put out
an emergency closing sign outside?
**[13:49] Kukuru**
Give the leaving guests some
postcards to take home.
**[13:53] Kai**
All right.
**[13:58] Kukuru**
Hang in there, Sensei.
**[14:00] Takeshita**
I'm sorry. I didn't think
it would come to this.
**[14:05] Kukuru**
Sensei, remember what
you told me a long time ago?
**[14:09] Kukuru**
The aquarium is a place
where we take care of life.
**[14:14] (Flashback) Takeshita**
Always keep in mind that you're in charge
of the precious lives of other beings.
**[14:20] Takeshita**
*Protect them with all you've got.*
**[14:25] Kukuru**
The aquarium takes care
not just of the lives of fish,
**[14:28] ---**
but of the guests and staff, too.
**[14:32] Kukuru**
So we're going to protect you
with all we've got.
**[14:38] Takeshita**
A place where we take care of life...
**[14:53] Kuuya**
All the taxis are out.
**[14:55] Kuuya**
They won't be back for another hour.
**[15:59] Kukuru**
Where's the car?
**[16:08] Fuuka**
We have a car!
**[16:11] Karin**
Hello.
**[16:12] Takeshita**
Um...
**[16:14] Kukuru**
We couldn't find a taxi.
**[16:16] Kukuru**
So we asked a friend for help.
**[16:17] Karin**
You could be a bit more appreciative.
**[16:19] Karin**
Work is busy at the Tourism Association.
**[16:23] Karin**
Where should I take you?
**[16:25] Takeshita**
Have you heard of Uchima Maternity Home?
**[16:28] Karin**
I have.
**[16:29] Kukuru**
I'll come, too.
**[16:31] Fuuka**
No, I'll accompany her.
**[16:34] Fuuka**
You should stay here, Director.
**[16:36] Kukuru**
But...
**[16:37] Fuuka**
Give Choko-chan some attention.
**[16:42] Kukuru**
Sorry.
**[16:44] Kukuru**
Please go in my place.
**[16:49] Kuuya**
That was stressful.
**[16:51] Kai**
Seriously, that scared me.
**[17:00] Fuuka**
Another closure?
**[17:03] Karin**
They found an unexploded ordnance nearby.
**[17:06] Karin**
Don't worry, though.
**[17:12] Karin**
Now's my chance to show off
my Tourism Association skills.
**[17:14] Karin**
I'm driving around all the time.
**[17:16] Karin**
A detour isn't going to slow me down.
**[17:21] Fuuka**
Please drive as slowly as you can,
so it doesn't shake.
**[17:24] Fuuka**
But also, hurry!
**[17:26] Karin**
That's a tall order.
**[17:40] Kai**
Is something wrong?
**[17:41] Kukuru**
I just noticed Choko hasn't
been eating as much lately.
**[17:45] Kukuru**
Choko's getting old,
so it's to be expected, but...
**[17:49] Kai**
You've got so much to worry about.
**[17:52] Kukuru**
That's the nature of the job.
**[17:54] Kukuru**
Get well soon.
**[18:00] Kukuru**
I hope the doctor's okay.
**[18:04] Fuuka**
Would you like some water?
**[18:06] Takeshita**
No, thanks.
**[18:08] Takeshita**
Sorry, my husband should be coming soon.
**[18:17] Takeshita**
I had a strange dream
at the aquarium earlier.
**[18:23] Takeshita**
It was as if I were in the water.
**[18:25] Takeshita**
The fish came right up to me.
**[18:29] Takeshita**
And I met my baby.
**[18:33] Takeshita**
He said, "I get to meet you soon, Mom."
**[18:40] Takeshita**
I have to be strong.
**[18:45] A**
Shall we move you now?
**[18:52] Fuuka**
Do what's right,
and everything will work out.
**[18:56] Gramps**
Why didn't you contact me?
**[18:58] Gramps**
You could have talked to me.
**[19:03] Gramps**
You wouldn't have had
to trouble the doctor.
**[19:07] Kukuru**
But...
**[19:07] Gramps**
No "buts."
**[19:09] Gramps**
You can't try to do everything yourself
just because you're the director.
**[19:14] Kukuru**
I'm sorry.
**[19:20] Kukuru**
Hello?!
**[19:23] Kukuru**
Yeah.
**[19:24] Kukuru**
Yeah.
**[19:25] Kukuru**
Yeah.
**[19:27] Kukuru**
She just gave birth.
**[19:29] Kukuru**
Child and mother are doing well.
**[19:32] Gramps**
That's great!
**[19:33] Grandma**
I was so worried.
**[19:43] Kukuru**
So cute!
**[19:45] Fuuka**
Is he asleep?
**[19:47] Takeshita**
He can't open his eyes yet.
**[19:49] Kukuru**
I see.
**[19:51] Kukuru**
Sensei, I'm really sorry.
**[19:54] Kukuru**
Gramps scolded me about it, too.
**[19:57] Takeshita**
No, it's all right.
**[20:00] Takeshita**
Thanks to you and Fuuka-chan,
I'll never forget this birth.
**[20:13] Kukuru**
So cute.
**[20:15] Fuuka**
Mothers are amazing, huh?
**[20:19] Takeshita**
Yeah...
**[20:20] Takeshita**
You might be right.
**[20:23] Takeshita**
But maybe it was this baby who
did the best work by being born healthy.
**[20:28] Takeshita**
Thank you.

Where do you get a maternity handbook?

Are you pregnant?
**[20:58] Kukuru**
O-Of course not!
**[21:02] Takeshita**
You can get one from the municipality
when you find out that you're pregnant.
**[21:07] Kukuru**
Huh.

**[21:31] Fuuka**
Actually, I just really like it.
**[21:34] Kukuru**
Someday, I want to have the courage
to challenge myself to something new.
**[21:40] Kukuru**
I made those with that in mind.
**[21:44] Kukuru**
I'm glad you like it, Fuuka!
**[21:48] Kukuru**
We gotta get back to Gama Gama.

**[00:29] Fuuka**
The touch pools?
**[00:31] Kukuru**
Yeah.
**[00:32] Kukuru**
We let the visitors touch sea creatures.
**[00:34] Kukuru**
The event's been on hiatus,
since we didn't have enough people,
**[00:37] ---**
but I've always wanted to do it.
**[00:39] Kukuru**
Hey, Gramps, can we?
**[00:41] Gramps**
Of course.
**[00:42] Gramps**
I'll be out of town for work,
so I won't be able to help.
**[00:44] Gramps**
But you do it every year,
so you'll be fine.
**[00:47] Kukuru**
Yeah!
**[00:48] Kukuru**
I'll call you if there's a problem.
**[00:50] Kukuru**
And we'll all work on it together!
**[00:52] Fuuka**
All?
**[00:54] Fuuka**
Me, too?
**[00:55] Kukuru**
Of course, I was counting
on you, too, Fuuka.
**[01:00] Fuuka**
I appreciate it!
**[01:02] Kukuru**
It's a lot of fun!
**[02:36] Kukuru**
And that's why the touch pools
are a big deal during the summer!
**[02:40] Kukuru**
Let's get it set up really quickly
and open by the weekend.
**[02:43] Kuuya**
So soon?
**[02:44] Kai**
It is summer break already.
**[02:47] Kukuru**
The summer's going to be over
if we don't get it together.
**[02:50] Kukuru**
Kuuya-san, could you handle putting out
the tanks and the red garra?
**[02:53] Kuuya**
'Kay.
**[02:54] Kukuru**
Kai, you're welcoming the plants and animals.
**[02:56] ---**
Got it.
**[02:57] Fuuka**
Welcoming?
**[02:59] Kukuru**
We have to collect the plants and animals
and welcome them to Gama Gama.
**[03:02] Fuuka**
Huh.
**[03:03] Kukuru**
Fuuka, you can be the attendant, right?
**[03:06] Fuuka**
Attendant? Me?
**[03:08] Kukuru**
You'll do fine.
**[03:09] Kukuru**
There aren't that many species
to remember for the touch pools.
**[03:12] Kukuru**
You'll have them memorized in no time.
**[03:15] Fuuka**
Understood.
**[03:16] Kukuru**
I'll back you up.
**[03:18] Kukuru**
Let me know if you have any questions.
**[03:20] Kukuru**
Let's all work hard together!
**[03:22] Fuuka**
Yeah.

**[03:40] Fuuka**
Huh.
**[03:41] Fuuka**
I never knew so many
aquariums do touch pools.
**[03:44] Fuuka**
Sea urchins?
**[03:45] Fuuka**
Sharks?
**[03:46] Kukuru**
Awesome, huh?
**[03:48] Kukuru**
A touch says as much
as a hundred words.
**[03:51] Fuuka**
A touch?
**[03:52] Kukuru**
Yeah.
**[03:53] Kukuru**
You can learn more about an animal
**[03:54] ---**
by touching it once than you can
from hearing about it a hundred times.
**[03:57] Kukuru**
Sharks are a good example.
**[03:59] Fuuka**
That's true. I've heard
about shark skin before,
**[04:01] ---**
but I have only a vague idea
of what it feels like.
**[04:04] Kukuru**
Right?
**[04:05] Kukuru**
But you can stress the animals out
if you touch them too carelessly.
**[04:10] Kukuru**
Little kids are especially rough,
so the attendant has to pay close attention.
**[04:15] Fuuka**
Okay!
**[04:16] Fuuka**
Is there anything else—
**[04:18] Kuuya**
Acting Director?
**[04:19] Kuuya**
There's a customer at the shop.
**[04:20] Kukuru**
Okay, I'm on my way.
**[04:22] Kukuru**
What was it?
**[04:24] Fuuka**
No, it's all right.
**[04:30] Fuuka**

**[04:33] Fuuka**
* I have to be able to explain things*

**[04:42] Fuuka**
This is kind of like...
**[04:48] Fuuka**
No.
**[04:51] Fuuka**
I need to focus.
**[04:54] Kukuru**
Thank you.

About the welcoming.
**[05:00] Kai**
You gotta help out.
**[05:02] Kukuru**
Huh? Why?
**[05:04] Kai**
I don't know what to catch, or how many.
**[05:06] Kai**
I got in trouble for taking
too much last time. Remember?
**[05:10] Kukuru**
Sure.
**[05:12] Kai**
I was a bit surprised, though.
**[05:15] Kai**
That you let her do work.
**[05:17] Kukuru**
Fuuka, you mean?
**[05:18] Kai**
You were treating her like a newbie
until just the other day.
**[05:21] Kukuru**
I just felt like giving
her some responsibilities.
**[05:24] Kukuru**
Maybe it's because of this.
**[05:28] Kai**
A penguin?
**[05:29] Kukuru**
First penguins.
**[05:30] Kukuru**
We have a matching pair.
**[05:32] Kai**
So?
**[05:33] Kukuru**
So, yeah.
**[05:34] Kai**
What?
**[05:52] Fuuka**
I'll see you there.
**[05:54] Kukuru**
You're leaving already?

Hello!
**[07:16] Udon**
Where's everyone else?
**[07:17] Fuuka**
We're all getting ready for the touch pools.
**[07:19] Fuuka**
Everyone's running around more than usual.
**[07:22] Udon**
Huh.
**[07:23] Udon**
Is this part of that, too?
**[07:25] Fuuka**
I thought I'd hand these out to the kids.
**[07:28] Udon**
That's a good idea!
**[07:29] Udon**
Maybe we'll do that at our shop, too.
**[07:31] Fuuka**
Do kids come to Kamee?
**[07:34] Udon**
No, for the people from overseas.
**[07:37] Udon**
There are more visitors lately.
**[07:39] Udon**
I bet they'll like origami.
**[07:41] Udon**
Okay, good luck!

What did you want to talk about?

It's about Fuuka-chan.
**[10:20] Udon**
Is it true that she was an idol?
**[10:21] Kukuru**
Huh? How did you know?
**[10:23] Udon**
Umi-yan intel.
**[10:25] Udon**
He'll give up eating for his idols.
**[10:28] Udon**
He won't shut up about
his favorites when he's drunk.
**[10:31] Udon**
He'll talk my ears off.
**[10:33] Kukuru**
Oh yeah, that's right.
**[10:35] Karin**
Why did Fuuka-chan quit her idol job
to come to Okinawa?
**[10:38] Karin**
Why Gama Gama?
**[10:39] Kukuru**
Dunno.
**[10:40] Kukuru**

I don't really care,

but you don't seem

she'll leave suddenly as well?

I guess she isn't staying here forever, though.
**[12:49] Kai**
Aren't you going to talk to her about it?
**[12:51] Kai**
Isn't that pretty important?
**[12:55] Kukuru**
Fuuka doesn't really say
what's on her mind.
**[12:59] Kukuru**
It's hard to tell what she's thinking.
**[13:02] Kai**
That's what happens
when you try too hard to be nice.
**[13:04] Kukuru**
I told her she doesn't
need to be so nice.
**[13:07] Kai**
I'm talking about you.
**[13:12] Kukuru**
You're so fast, Kai.
**[13:13] Kai**

Did you not want to be an attendant?

Did I make it hard for you to decline,
because I was so obsessed with work?
**[16:46] Fuuka**
Not at all.
**[16:48] Kukuru**
I really wanted the touch pools to work out,
so that we could keep Gama Gama open.
**[16:53] Kukuru**
I got too caught up in my work.
**[16:56] Kukuru**
I wasn't paying attention to how you'd feel.

**[17:00] Fuuka**
Please don't apologize.
**[17:03] Fuuka**
It's not your fault, Director.
**[17:05] Fuuka**
I chose to be an attendant myself.
**[17:09] Fuuka**
It's true that I didn't want to be
in front of people at first.
**[17:14] Fuuka**
But after a while, it started
to become fun, and I lost myself in it.
**[17:18] Fuuka**
I was really happy when
you gave me work and praised me.
**[17:24] Fuuka**
I wanted to be useful to you, Director.
**[17:27] Fuuka**
That's why, I...
**[17:30] Fuuka**

**[17:31] Fuuka**
That's why I was working so hard.
**[17:34] Fuuka**
I wanted to get to know you better.
**[17:37] Fuuka**
I wanted to get closer to you.
**[17:40] Fuuka**
That's why...
**[17:43] Kukuru**
I never realized you felt that way.
**[17:47] Fuuka**
Me, neither.
**[17:49] Kukuru**
I wanted to give you more work,
so that you'd fall in love with Gama Gama more.
**[17:56] Kukuru**
I think...
**[17:58] Kukuru**
That's because I wanted
to become closer to you, too.
**[18:11] Fuuka**
You might understand better
if you touch me.
**[18:22] Kukuru**
Do you understand me better?
**[18:24] Fuuka**
What about you, Kukuru?
**[18:28] Kukuru**
Wait! Did you just call me "Kukuru"?
**[18:41] Umi-yan**
Crabs use eight of their
ten legs to walk, and—
**[18:45] Umi-yan**
Hey, are you listening?
**[18:46] Umi-yan**
You're supposed to touch
the crabs, not the old fart!
**[18:49] Kukuru**
Hey, there.
**[18:51] Kukuru**
You have to be gentle with
all creatures, land or sea.
**[18:55] Fuuka**
Sorry for causing you trouble.
**[18:57] Umi-yan**
It's nothing.
**[18:59] Umi-yan**
Seems that you're all better.
**[19:01] Fuuka**
Yes.
**[19:02] Fuuka**
As long as Kukuru's with me.
**[19:07] Fuuka**
Please let me know
if you have any questions.
**[19:09] Fuuka**
But I'm an attendant,
so please ask me about sea creatures.
**[19:15] A**
Me! Me!
**[19:16] A**
Which side of a sea slug is its mouth,
and which side is its butt?
**[19:19] Fuuka**
Sea slugs' mouths and butts are the same.
**[19:22] Fuuka**
Can you believe it?

I was working as an idol until recently.

I mean, I noticed a while ago.

I'm looking forward to my paycheck, Director.
**[20:11] Kai**
Right, Miyazawa-san?
**[20:13] Kukuru**
Fuuka, we should go home, too.
**[20:16] Fuuka**
Okay!
**[20:23] Kukuru**
You sure surprised me
with those red boots, though.
**[20:26] Fuuka**
Were they really that surprising?
**[20:29] Fuuka**
I thought they're cute.
**[20:31] Fuuka**
I know!
**[20:32] Fuuka**
You should wear them, too!

We'll have matching pairs.

Nah, no way.

Hello.

I'm Miyazawa Fuuka's mother.
**[01:53] Mom**
Thank you for taking care of my daughter.
**[01:56] Mom**
It isn't much, but this
is a token of my gratitude.
**[01:58] Gramps**
Thank you for being so courteous.
**[02:02] Gramps**
Please, have a seat.
**[02:04] Mom**

**[02:11] Umi-yan**
Oh, want some?

Shochu-infused ice pops.
**[02:13] Mom**
No thanks. I appreciate it, though.
**[02:17] Mom**
I'm embarrassed to admit
**[02:19] ---**
I didn't know Fuuka was here
until just the other day.
**[02:24] Mom**
Thank you very much for allowing
a stranger like her into your home.
**[02:29] Gramps**
Not at all.
**[02:30] Gramps**
Fuuka-san's been a great
help to our aquarium.
**[02:34] Mom**
She'd practically run away from home.
**[02:37] Mom**
We were worried.
**[02:40] Mom**
She finally let me know where she is,
so I came to here introduce myself.
**[02:46] Mom**
I'm taking her home.
**[02:54] Fuuka**
Why would she come?
**[02:56] Kai**
Well, of course your mom's worried.
**[02:58] Fuuka**
I get that...
**[03:01] Fuuka**
But I have my circumstances, too.
**[03:03] Fuuka**
Huh?
**[03:07] Fuuka**
It doesn't look too well.
**[03:10] Kukuru**
Fuuka!
**[03:12] Kukuru**
Your mom's saying she's taking you home.
**[03:15] Kukuru**
Come over here!
**[03:21] Kukuru**
Do you want to go home?
**[03:24] Fuuka**
Not yet.
**[03:26] Fuuka**
I do plan on going home someday, though.
**[03:28] Kukuru**
All right.
**[03:29] Kukuru**
Run while you can.
**[03:31] Kukuru**
I'll take care of your stuff.
**[03:33] Fuuka**
R-Run?!
**[03:35] Kai**
Right, you can always do that!
**[03:37] Kai**
Good idea, Kukuru!
**[03:38] Kukuru**
I'll stall your mom.
**[03:41] Kukuru**
Get as far as you can in the meantime.
**[03:43] Kai**
It's like a movie!

Awesome!
**[03:46] Fuuka**
B-But...

Is this really what you want?
**[03:48] Kukuru**
You don't want to go home yet, do you?
**[03:50] Kukuru**
Now's your only chance to run.
**[03:53] Kukuru**
Get ready!
**[03:54] Kukuru**
Quick!
**[04:07] Kukuru**
It was brief, but I had fun.
**[04:09] Kai**
Same.
**[04:10] Fuuka**
Thank you for everything.
**[04:12] Kai**
We've got it from here.
**[04:13] Kukuru**
Good luck.
**[04:20] Fuuka**
Now, then...
**[04:22] Fuuka**
Where do I go?

There they are.
**[04:30] Gramps**

Oh, uh...
**[04:34] Kukuru**
Fuuka's out right now.
**[04:36] Kukuru**
She's prepping for the touch pool.
**[04:38] Kukuru**
She'll be right back.
**[04:40] Mom**
I see.
**[04:43] Gramps**
Would you like to take a look
at the marine life in the meantime?
**[04:48] Mom**
No, before that...
**[04:50] Mom**
Would it be all right if I visited your home
to greet your wife as well?
**[04:55] Mom**
I'd like to thank her
for letting Fuuka stay.
**[04:58] Gramps**
Sure thing.
**[05:01] Kukuru**
Gramps, can I go with you?
**[05:03] Kukuru**
I'll have Umi-yan and Kuuya-san

But I can't allow her to impose any more.

That's not it.
**[12:25] Grams**
Fuuka-chan didn't say
she wanted to stay here.
**[12:28] Grams**
It's Gama Gama Aquarium.
**[12:31] Grams**
She asked Kukuru
if she'd let her stay at Gama Gama.
**[12:36] Grams**
That's why she's living here
and working at the aquarium.
**[12:41] Grams**
I wonder what could have
possibly interested her?
**[12:44] Grams**

**[14:15] A**
This one's a blue sea star.
**[14:17] A**
And this is a red-eyed rock crab.
**[14:19] A**
We found a cushion star, too.
**[14:21] Fuuka**
Wow!
**[14:22] Fuuka**
You remembered what I told you

We've been asking forever,
but she won't put any sharks in the tank.

**[16:51] Kukuru**
It sucks, but it's part of the job.
**[16:56] Kukuru**
When we lose a fish, we find out what killed it,
so we can try to use the knowledge later.
**[17:00] Kukuru**
If it had a contagious disease,
it can affect the other fish in the tank.

But this one's small, so we won't do that.

Hey, Kukuru...

Can I be the one to send it off?

**[18:14] Kukuru**
If it died of disease,
it could spread pathogens,
**[18:17] ---**
so we don't cremate it
or bury it in the water.
**[18:19] Kukuru**
We send it off to a
specialized processing plant.
**[18:24] Fuuka**
It's painful.
**[18:44] Mom**
Fuuka.
**[18:46] Fuuka**
Mom.
**[18:52] Mom**
Why an aquarium?
**[18:56] Fuuka**
I don't know.
**[18:58] Mom**
Couldn't you come home
to Iwate and rest for a while?
**[19:03] Fuuka**
I don't know.
**[19:04] Fuuka**
But staying busy keeps me
from thinking about stuff.
**[19:13] Kukuru**
Um, Ma'am...
**[19:15] Kukuru**
Fuuka-san's really hard-working
and diligent.
**[19:19] Kukuru**
She's a really good attendant
at the touch pools, too.
**[19:21] Kukuru**
She's someone we absolutely need
at the aquarium.
**[19:25] Kukuru**
So...!
**[19:26] Fuuka**
Kukuru...
**[19:31] Fuuka**
Mom, I want to stay here.
**[19:35] Fuuka**
I want to help
with Kukuru's dream for now.
**[19:53] Mom**
Fine.
**[19:57] Mom**
Only for the summer.
**[19:59] Mom**
Come home in time for the
new school term in September.
**[20:04] Fuuka**
Okay.
**[20:09] Fuuka**
That's right.
**[20:11] Fuuka**
I'm sorry.
**[20:12] Fuuka**
Please tell your aunt in Naha
that I'm sorry, too.
**[20:15] Mom**
That girl left home early
to become an idol.
**[20:20] Mom**
I've never had a chance
to be a mother to her.
**[20:24] Mom**
She's finally coming home.
**[20:26] Mom**
I could be with her.
**[20:28] Mom**
Or so I thought.
**[20:30] Satsuki**
Letting your child go
is part of your job as a parent.
**[20:33] Gramps**
There's nothing to worry about.
**[20:35] Gramps**
As long as she's well,
you can see her whenever you like.
**[20:41] Mom**
Please take good care of Fuuka.
**[20:53] Fuuka**
Mom.
**[20:56] Fuuka**
Sorry I can't go home with you.
**[21:00] Mom**
You don't have to apologize.
**[21:02] Mom**
You just need some time, right?
**[21:05] Mom**
You've been working so hard
all these years by yourself.
**[21:13] Mom**
Those red boots looked pretty good on you.
**[21:21] Fuuka**
Thanks, Mom.
**[23:10] Kukuru**
See you!
**[23:14] Kukuru**
Now that you're staying,
we gotta get back in gear.
**[23:17] Kukuru**
Operation Summer Break.
**[23:19] ---**
Yeah.
**[23:20] Kukuru**
But we have only August.
**[23:23] Fuuka**
Let's focus on what's ahead for now.
**[23:25] Fuuka**
Don't worry about other stuff.
**[23:27] Kukuru**
Well said.
**[23:30] Udon**
Actually, Udon-chan said it first.

***SIGN*** Gama Gama Aquarium To Close
***SIGN*** After 48 years of being a fixture in the community, the Aquarium will close at the end of August.
**[00:05] Kuuya**
Good morning.
**[00:07] Kukuru**
K-Kuuya-san.
**[00:09] Kukuru**
Were we back-washing the main tank today?
**[00:11] Kuuya**
We did that yesterday, remember?
**[00:14] Kukuru**
Right, we did.
**[01:50] Kai**
Kukuru.
**[01:51] Kai**
Hey. Kukuru.
**[01:53] Kai**
Your eyebrows are furrowed.
**[01:55] Kai**
You look scary.
**[01:56] Kukuru**
Oh, shoot!
**[01:58] Fuuka**
Are you okay?
**[01:59] Kukuru**
I was thinking of ways
to attract more visitors,
**[02:03] ---**
but I can't come up with anything good.
**[02:04] Fuuka**
What have you come up with so far?
**[02:06] Kukuru**
A fish cosplay festival.
**[02:08] Kuuya**
What are we, in kindergarten?
**[02:10] Kukuru**
An all-night aquarium.
**[02:11] Kuuya**
I'm not doing overtime.
**[02:13] Kukuru**
Haunted aquarium for summer chills.
**[02:15] Kuuya**
So random.
**[02:17] Kukuru**
I have to do something, though!
**[02:18] Fuuka**
Kukuru, wrinkles!
**[02:24] Umi-yan**
Nothing beats shochu-infused
ice pops after work.
**[02:28] Kuuya**
You have them during work, too.
**[02:29] Umi-yan**
Don't be so anal.
**[02:31] Fuuka**
I see.
**[02:32] Fuuka**
Ice cream.
**[02:33] Umi-yan**
Want some, Fuuka-chan?
**[02:35] Fuuka**
No thanks, but I appreciate it.
**[02:37] Fuuka**
How about some cold sweets?
**[02:39] Kukuru**
Sweets?
**[02:41] Fuuka**
Gama Gama doesn't sell any food, right?
**[02:43] Fuuka**
I thought people might enjoy it
if we sold some sweets.
**[02:46] Kai**
They might, but...
**[02:49] Kuuya**
I don't know about having
people come for the snacks.
**[02:52] Umi-yan**
I'd be up for sweets.
**[02:55] Kuuya**
Umi-yan, you just want some
for yourself, don't you?
**[02:57] Kukuru**
Let's give that a try.
**[03:00] Kukuru**
If the guests like it,
it might help draw more traffic.
**[03:05] Kukuru**
I want to try everything we can
for Operation Summer Break.
**[03:09] Fuuka**
Yeah!
**[03:11] Kukuru**
But who?
**[03:12] ---**
Who else?
**[03:16] Kukuru**
Please, Udon-chan, request of a lifetime.
**[03:19] Udon**
Again?
**[03:20] Udon**
How many requests of a lifetime has it been?
**[03:22] Kukuru**
I'm begging you!
***SIGN*** Kamee Diner
**[03:26] Udon**
I see.
**[03:27] Udon**
So you want some cold sweets
for the summer.
**[03:31] Kukuru**
I want to see if we can win
them over with original sweets.
**[03:34] Fuuka**
I'm sure you can come up with
something really delicious, Udon-chan.
**[03:39] Udon**
Leave it to five-star chef Teruya Tsukimi!
**[03:43] Udon**
Or so I'd like to say, but I actually
haven't really made sweets that often.
**[03:48] Kukuru**
No way.
**[03:49] Fuuka**
Really?
**[03:50] Udon**
I only learned to cook by watching my mom.
**[03:54] Mom**
Tsukimi!
**[03:55] Mom**
Could you get me
some braised pork belly?
**[03:57] Udon**
Mango pork belly?
**[03:59] Mom**
No, a normal one.
**[04:00] Mom**
Fruit pork belly is blasphemy.
**[04:02] Mom**
It's against our family tradition.
**[04:04] Kukuru**
Right, her mom doesn't like sweet stuff.
**[04:07] Fuuka**
What should we do?
**[04:08] Fuuka**
We were counting on Udon-chan.
**[04:11] Udon**
I might not be able to make something
proper like a pâtissier could,
**[04:14] ---**
but if that's all right,
I want to give it a shot.
**[04:16] Kukuru**
Really?
**[04:18] Udon**
I'm rarely going to have
an opportunity to try it out.
**[04:22] Udon**
And I want to add more to my repertoire.
**[04:24] Kukuru**
Thanks, Udon-chan!
**[04:26] Fuuka**
We're counting on you.
**[04:28] Mom**
What's taking so long?
**[04:29] Mom**
I'm still waiting.
**[04:29] Udon**
Okay, okay, coming.
***SIGN*** Kamee Diner

So would tarts and crepes.
**[04:46] Kukuru**
Original sweets, huh?
**[05:07] Kukuru**
Thanks for cleaning.
**[05:09] Kukuru**
Could you clean the protein
skimmer once you're done?
**[05:13] Kai**
Got it.
**[05:14] Kukuru**
I have a meeting with Udon-chan soon.
**[05:17] Kai**
She agreed to it?
**[05:18] Kukuru**
Yeah.
**[05:19] Kukuru**
She said she'll try to come
up with some sweets.
**[05:23] Kai**
Yeah?
**[05:24] Kai**
I hope it works out.
**[05:26] Kukuru**
Hey!
**[05:28] Kukuru**
Udon-chan!
**[05:29] Kukuru**
Welcome!
**[05:30] Kukuru**
Well, let's begin our first sweets meeting.
**[05:33] Udon**
I have Proposals A through G.
**[05:36] Udon**
Where do you want to start?
**[05:38] Kukuru**
You came up with all that in one night?
**[05:40] Fuuka**
Let's start from A, then.
**[05:43] Udon**
Okay, here we go.
**[05:45] Udon**
Proposal A is an Okinawan Special Parfait!
***SIGN*** Proposal A

**[05:56] Fuuka**
A parfait, huh?
**[05:57] Kukuru**
That looks so good.
**[05:58] Udon**
We make a café space in front of the tanks
and set up a rattan table and sofa.
**[06:04] Udon**
Have a taste of an
out-of-the-ordinary overseas resort!
**[06:08] Udon**
I bet it'll be popular.
**[06:10] Fuuka**
I think it'll create some buzz.
**[06:13] Kukuru**
It'll create buzz, become famous,
and bring lots of guests!
**[06:16] Kukuru**
Sounds good.
**[06:17] Fuuka**
Don't you think a café might be
too big of a project, though?
**[06:20] Fuuka**
How much do we have in our budget?
**[06:22] Kukuru**
5,000 yen?
**[06:23] Fuuka**
Eh?
**[06:24] Udon**
That's never going to work.
**[06:27] Kukuru**
I figured.
**[06:28] Udon**
Hm...
**[06:30] Udon**
Considering all our constraints,
the most viable one would be...
**[06:34] Udon**
Setting up a food stall here
and selling original ice cream.
**[06:38] Fuuka**
That sounds good!
**[06:40] Udon**
I think we can borrow a stall
through Karin-chan.
**[06:43] Udon**
That's probably the most realistic.
**[06:45] Kukuru**
You might be right.
**[06:47] Udon**
All right, ice cream! Agreed?
**[06:49] Kukuru**
Agreed!
**[06:50] Udon**
Great!
**[06:52] Udon**
Let's get going, then.
**[06:55] Kukuru**
Huh?
**[06:55] Fuuka**
Go where?
**[06:59] Udon**
If we're going to make ice cream,
we've got to try some first.
**[07:06] Fuuka**
What should we get?
**[07:08] Kukuru**
I can't decide.
**[07:09] Kukuru**
I'm sticking with vanilla.
**[07:11] Fuuka**
I'll have pineapple chocolate.
**[07:13] Udon**
A triple scoop with red bean matcha,
avocado nut, and cheese pistachio.
**[07:21] Udon**
Time to eat.
**[07:26] Kukuru**
Yum!
**[07:28] Fuuka**
It's so rich and creamy.
**[07:31] Udon**
It has a complex taste.
**[07:34] Udon**
The nuts don't all taste the same.
**[07:36] Udon**
I see.
**[07:37] Udon**
They're blending several kinds of nuts.
**[07:41] Fuuka**
She's a diligent researcher.
**[07:43] Kukuru**
She's always been that way.
**[07:44] Kukuru**
In cooking class in elementary school,
**[07:46] ---**
Udon-chan's group came up
with all kinds of ideas.
**[07:49] Kukuru**
She made stuff that you
might get at a restaurant.
**[07:52] Udon**
There are infinite possibilities in cooking.
**[07:55] Udon**
Even with the same ingredients,
you can get something totally different
**[07:58] ---**
if you cook it differently
or use different spices.
**[08:00] Udon**
I'm in bliss whenever I try different things
**[08:03] ---**
and come up with something
completely unexpected!
**[08:07] Fuuka**
I'm glad we asked Udon-chan.
**[08:10] Udon**
I always end up accepting
all of Kukuru's "requests of a lifetime."
**[08:14] Kukuru**
I really don't remember, though.
**[08:17] Fuuka**
I know. You tend to forget
when you're the one asking.
**[08:20] Kukuru**
Right?
**[08:21] Kukuru**
Like, "Udon-chan, request of a lifetime:
Can I borrow your eraser?
**[08:24] ---**
Can you come with me to the restroom?"
**[08:26] Kukuru**
Stuff like that.
**[08:27] Fuuka**
That's just a waste of requests.
**[08:29] Kukuru**
What's wrong with that?
**[08:31] Kukuru**
Sheesh.
**[08:36] Udon**
Okay, I'm going to go check out
a few more ice cream shops.
**[08:40] Udon**
See you.
**[08:42] Kukuru**
Thanks.
**[08:44] Kukuru**
We should head back, too.
**[08:45] Fuuka**
Yeah.
***SIGN*** We're on Penstagram!
***SIGN*** Follow us for a free topping!
**[08:52] Fuuka**
Penstagram, huh?
**[08:53] Kukuru**
What? What's up?
**[08:57] Kukuru**
All the aquariums these days
are on social media.
**[09:00] Kukuru**
I've been wanting
to get Gama Gama on, too.
**[09:03] Fuuka**
It's useful, right?
**[09:04] Fuuka**
It makes it easy to advertise.
**[09:06] Kukuru**
Were you on social media?
**[09:07] Fuuka**
I'm not anymore, but I was back then.
**[09:11] Kukuru**
Huh.
**[09:12] Kukuru**
Tell me how, then.
**[09:13] ---**
Okay!
**[09:14] Fuuka**
What makes Gama Gama special?
**[09:17] Fuuka**
Hopefully we can get that across.
**[09:19] Kukuru**
What makes Gama Gama special?
**[09:31] Kukuru**
There.
**[09:32] Kukuru**
Now...
**[09:34] Kai**
I'm in the middle of work.
**[09:36] Kukuru**
Be a man and stop whining.
**[09:39] Kuuya**
I don't want to put my face online.
**[09:42] Kukuru**
Help me out!
**[09:46] Umi-yan**
Kukuru-chan, you here?
**[09:49] Umi-yan**
Take a picture of this one, too.
**[09:52] Kukuru**
Frogfish!
**[09:53] Umi-yan**
My personal favorite.
**[09:55] Umi-yan**
It's so cute!
**[09:57] Kukuru**
Yeah, I like that.
**[10:03] Fuuka**
That's a really good photo.
**[10:04] Kukuru**
I-Is it?
**[10:06] Fuuka**
It'd be nice if we had some photos
that show off the vibe in the aquarium, too.
**[10:10] Kukuru**
The "vibe," huh?
**[10:13] Kukuru**
Huh?
**[10:14] Fuuka**
Do you know him?
**[10:15] Kukuru**
Yeah.
**[10:16] Kukuru**
He comes every year in the summer.
**[10:19] Fuuka**
Every year?
**[10:21] Kukuru**
Ever since I was little.
**[10:23] Fuuka**
For that long?
**[10:26] Kukuru**
He must love the aquarium.

I hate to tell you this, but I don't think
you can do homemade ice cream.
**[10:44] Kukuru**
We can't?
***SIGN*** Sweets Rhapsody
**[10:50] Kukuru**
Ice cream production permits?
**[10:52] Karin**
Yeah.
**[10:53] Karin**
According to Food Safety Law,
**[10:55] ---**
you need an production permit
to sell ice cream indoors or at stalls.
**[11:01] Karin**
Do you have one?
**[11:02] Kukuru**
No.
**[11:04] Kukuru**
But can't we just submit a request?
**[11:06] Karin**
Apparently, they reject most requests.
**[11:09] Karin**
A shop is one thing, but it's hard
to maintain food safety outdoors.
**[11:13] Udon**
No way...
**[11:14] Mom**
Ice cream would never work!
**[11:17] Udon**
You knew, Mom?
**[11:19] Mom**
It's common sense.
**[11:21] Mom**
People think food is easy,
but licenses and permits aren't easy to get.
**[11:27] Udon**
Why?
**[11:28] Mom**
Why wouldn't it be?
**[11:30] Mom**
It's going in people's mouths.
**[11:32] Mom**
You could be putting their lives in danger.
**[11:35] Kukuru**
Ma'am, do you know of anything else
that we could get a permit for?
**[11:39] Mom**
Let's see...
**[11:41] Mom**
How about shaved ice?
**[11:43] ---**
Shaved ice?
**[11:44] Mom**
You still need a permit, but it should be
a lot easier to get than for dairy.
**[11:51] Kukuru**
Udon-chan?
**[11:52] Udon**
I'll do it.
**[11:53] Udon**
I'm going home to research shaved ice!
**[11:56] Udon**
Take care of the shop for me!
**[11:58] Mom**
Wait, don't leave!
**[12:00] Mom**
Tsukimi!
**[12:06] Kukuru**
So fluffy!
**[12:09] Kai**
It's so good!
**[12:10] Udon**
Right?
**[12:11] Udon**
You leave the ice out of the freezer
for a while before you shave it,
**[12:14] ---**
and that makes it fluffy!
**[12:17] Fuuka**
That's our Udon-chan.
**[12:18] Fuuka**
Are we using this for the shop, though?
**[12:21] Udon**
Of course not.
**[12:23] Udon**
Karin-chan's getting a hold of
a commercial machine for us.
**[12:27] Kai**
Huh, aren't you having any, Kuuya-san?
**[12:29] Kuuya**
I'm good.
**[12:30] Kuuya**
I hate brain freeze.
**[12:32] Umi-yan**
I'll have it, then.
**[12:37] Umi-yan**
Oh yeah, you should make
shochu shaved ice, too.
**[12:41] Udon**
That's just plain shochu
with water once it melts.
**[12:44] Kukuru**
Denied.
**[12:44] Kukuru**
We're on the job. What are you thinking?
***SIGN*** Kamee Diner

**[13:08] Mom**
Oh?
**[13:09] Mom**
That looks pretty boring.
**[13:11] Udon**
What does?
**[13:12] Mom**
It's kinda dull, especially for you.
**[13:15] Mom**

Welcome.
**[13:48] Kukuru**
You haven't even opened shop.
What are you doing?
**[13:50] Udon**
Preparing for tomorrow, of course.
**[13:53] Udon**
Man, I never knew living things
were so hard to draw.
**[13:57] Udon**
I've been so eager about making
the shaved ice shop happen,
**[14:01] ---**
and I've been overthinking it.
**[14:03] Udon**
I guess I can freewheel it more.
**[14:06] Udon**
I think it should be something
people can get only at Gama Gama.
**[14:11] Kukuru**
So what's this?
**[14:13] Udon**
Yeah.
**[14:14] Udon**
I wanted you guys to help draw.
**[14:22] Kukuru**
Do what's right,
and everything will work out.
**[14:25] Kukuru**
Please give us luck!
**[14:30] Kukuru**
There!
**[14:38] Kai**
Good thing the health center agreed, huh?
**[14:40] Karin**
Yeah.
**[14:41] Karin**
That's one less thing to worry about.
**[14:43] Kuuya**
Why did we have to get dragged out?
**[14:46] Karin**
No complaining.
**[14:48] Karin**
We have permission from the director.

Kukuru!
**[15:06] Kukuru**
Welcome.
**[15:14] Kukuru**
Thank you for coming every year.
**[15:18] A**
It's almost over, huh?
**[15:21] A**
I read the newspaper.
**[15:24] A**
What a shame that it's going away.
**[15:28] Kukuru**
It's not for sure yet.
**[15:31] A**
I see.
**[15:35] A**
I have some very special memories here.
**[15:40] Kukuru**
At Gama Gama?
**[15:42] A**
A long time ago, when I was still young,
I lost my older brother.
**[15:48] A**
After I grew up, I started a business
and worked really hard to honor my brother.
**[15:55] A**
But things didn't work out,
and we had to close.
**[16:01] A**
That's when I happened to come by this aquarium,
when it was brand new.
**[16:08] A**
And I saw my dead brother.
**[16:12] A**
He cheered me up and got me out of my rut.
**[16:17] A**
I mean... I didn't actually
get to talk to him.
**[16:20] A**
It just felt like that.
**[16:23] A**
But thanks to that, I got back on my feet
and succeeded in building a new business.
**[16:29] A**
Since then, I've been coming here every year
in an attempt to meet with my brother again.
**[16:35] A**
He didn't show up this year, either.
**[16:39] A**
Sorry to be such a downer.
**[16:42] Kukuru**
No.
**[16:43] Kukuru**
Thank you.
**[16:45] Kukuru**
I'm really happy that this place
is special to you.
**[16:51] Kukuru**
*A precious, special...*
**[18:40] Kukuru**
Please come back next year.
**[18:42] Kukuru**
I'm going to make sure it stays open.
**[18:46] A**
I'll be looking forward to it.
**[18:58] Kukuru**
*Gama Gama is a special place.*
**[19:00] Kukuru**
*Some other people think so, too.*
**[19:04] Kukuru**
*It's not just me.*

What's that?

Can I see?
**[19:49] Karin**
That's a unique idea,
using animal names for orders.
**[19:54] Kukuru**
Udon-chan came up with it.
**[19:56] Kukuru**
So that people would have good
memories of the aquarium.
**[20:00] Kukuru**
She said she wanted to make something
people would never forget.
**[20:04] A**
Um, I know it's not on the menu, but...
**[20:07] B**
Could you do frogfish?

Okay, I'll give it a try!

Wow!

Isn't that...
**[20:23] Kuuya**
The fish that's Umi-yan fave.
**[20:25] Grandpa**
It doesn't matter what brings them in.
**[20:27] Grandpa**
As long as people take interest in sea life.
**[20:32] Kuuya**
Yeah, I guess.
**[20:36] Kukuru**
We should get back to work, too.

Thanks. Seriously!
**[22:20] Udon**
It's fine.
**[22:22] Udon**
I'm having fun, too.
**[22:24] Fuuka**
The shaved ice is really popular.
**[22:26] Fuuka**
It's on Penstagram, too.
***SIGN*** I didn't know what to expect from Gama Gama Aquarium original Chinese Box Turtle Shaved Ice, but it was actually really turtle-y lol
***SIGN*** Yellowtail fusilier be like, "Can you eat me?" And I did. It was delicious.
***SIGN*** Look what they're selling at the local aquarium!
They got the butterflyfish patterns down perfectly. My kid loved it, too.
**[22:34] Fuuka**
I hope we can keep getting more customers.
**[22:37] Kukuru**
Yeah.
**[22:38] Kukuru**
Let's do this!
**[22:39] Udon**
Me, too!
**[22:42] Udon**
Nah, I was just thinking. I should study
more for when I have my own shop.
**[22:49] Karin**
Your own shop?
**[22:51] Udon**
I can do whatever I want,
if I have my own shop.
**[22:53] Udon**
I can come up with
my own original menu items
**[22:55] ---**
and do the interior exactly how I want it.
**[22:57] Udon**
There's so much to dream about.
**[22:59] Karin**
Okay!
**[23:00] Karin**
I'll be your first regular customer.

Okay.

Huh?

Not normal pork belly?

Hurry up, before I change my mind.

Here you are!

Yeesh!

It's so sweet.

You're never going

Don't underestimate grown-ups.

And don't you underestimate grade-schoolers.
**[01:54] Kukuru**
We met our goal
for the first week of August!
***SIGN*** August Visitors
***SIGN*** Goal
**[01:57] Kukuru**
We've gotten a lot more visitors!
**[02:02] Kukuru**
The touch pools and shaved ice were a hit.
**[02:05] Kuuya**
Although the shaved ice lost money.
**[02:07] Fuuka**
We got a lot of followers on Penstagram, too.
**[02:10] Kukuru**
Well, Gramps?
**[02:11] Kukuru**
What do you think of my work
as Acting Director?
**[02:15] Kukuru**
And I'm sure if we keep it up,
**[02:17] ---**
there won't be any more talk
about the aquarium shutting down.
**[02:24] Kukuru**
Summer break is the busy season.
**[02:27] Kukuru**
Let's work hard for the
next month! No breaks!
**[02:29] Kuuya**
Hang on.
**[02:32] Kuuya**
Do you have any idea how many shifts
I've had without any breaks?
**[02:36] Kuuya**
I had to fill in for Umi-yan while he was sick
and for the director while he was out of town.
**[02:40] Kuuya**
I never took any breaks,
even when I got more work.
**[02:42] Kukuru**
I feel bad about that.
**[02:44] Kukuru**
But it's make-or-break time.
**[02:47] Kukuru**
If we all work hard together—
**[02:48] Gramps**
S-S-S-Stop.
**[02:54] Gramps**
Giving your staff time to rest is
an important part of your job as director.
**[02:59] Gramps**
It's been a while since you've
taken a break, too, Kukuru.
**[03:03] Kukuru**
I don't need a break.
**[03:05] Gramps**
Umi-yan's back, too.
**[03:07] Gramps**
Why don't you young ones
take some time off together?
**[03:10] Gramps**
We can manage for a day.
**[03:14] Umi-yan**
We'll take care of it!

Let's hang out together!
**[03:25] Kukuru**
I want to work!
**[03:28] Karin**
Your Gramps has a point.
**[03:31] Karin**
I have a lot of paid vacation days saved up.
**[03:32] Karin**
I have to take a break, too.
**[03:34] Udon**
Let's go somewhere
you want to go, Fuuka-chan.
**[03:37] Udon**
Tell us where you want to go.
**[03:39] Fuuka**
I...
**[03:42] Fuuka**
I want to go to the beach.
**[03:44] Udon**
That's so ordinary.
**[03:45] Karin**
How about a classic barbecue, then?
**[03:48] Karin**
Let's invite Kai-kun
and Yakamashi Kuuya, too.

As a reward from Director Kukuru.
**[03:53] Karin**

**[04:26] Karin**
Just accept it.
**[04:28] Kukuru**
All right.
**[04:29] Kukuru**
I'm going to have fun for the day!
**[04:36] Fuuka**
Huh?
**[04:36] Kukuru**
Hey, that's a cute swimsuit.
**[04:38] Udon**
It's so Tokyo-ish.
**[04:40] Fuuka**
Where are your swimsuits?
**[04:42] Udon**
People here don't wear them much.
**[04:44] Karin**
Especially because the UV rays are so harsh.
**[04:46] Fuuka**
I had it sent from home in a hurry,
because we were going to the beach.
**[04:50] Fuuka**
And this is from one of my photo shoots.
**[04:53] Fuuka**
I'm going to get changed!
**[04:55] Udon**
Don't worry about it.
**[04:56] Karin**
See?
**[04:57] Karin**
The tourists are all in swimsuits.
**[05:00] Fuuka**
But...
**[05:01] Udon**
Who cares? Let's go!
**[05:52] Fuuka**
Wow, there are so many!
**[05:54] Fuuka**
All the same fish that are at Gama Gama.
**[05:56] Kukuru**
Isn't it awesome how you can get
even more up-close to them at the beach?
**[06:00] Fuuka**
Yeah!
**[06:01] Kukuru**
Gramps always says that the aquarium
is the first step to learning about sea life.
**[06:07] Kukuru**
He wants people to take interest
in the world of real sea life, too.
**[06:11] Udon**
You're talking about work again.
**[06:14] Karin**
That's what crappy bosses do.
**[06:17] Kukuru**
Fine.
**[06:19] Udon**
That was fun.
**[06:20] Fuuka**
It was beautiful here.
**[06:22] Karin**
You must be getting hungry.
**[06:24] Karin**
Kai-kun and the others came early
to set up the barbecue for us.
**[06:29] Kukuru**
And...
**[06:30] Kukuru**
Does it have to be...
**[06:31] Udon**
Here?
**[06:34] Fuuka**
We're right in front of Gama Gama.
**[06:36] Kukuru**
We're so close.
**[06:38] Udon**
Too close.
**[06:39] Karin**
Come on. It's all right.
**[06:41] Karin**
It was last minute.
**[06:42] Karin**
We're lucky we found a spot at all.
**[06:44] Karin**
There they are.
**[06:49] Karin**
Sorry to keep you waiting.
**[06:52] Kai**
Hello.
**[06:53] Kai**
We just started cooking the meat.
**[06:55] Kai**
Good timing.
**[06:57] Karin**
Thanks!
**[06:59] Karin**
Huh?
**[07:00] Maho**
Thank you for inviting me today.
**[07:04] Kukuru**
She came.
**[07:06] Udon**
She had to come.
**[07:07] Kai**
Sorry.
**[07:08] Kai**
I tried to stop her, but it didn't work.
**[07:10] Karin**
I can picture it happening.
**[07:12] Kai**
This is my sister.

I'm his sister, Maho.
**[07:17] Maho**
My brother's been in your care.

Nice to meet you.

**[07:22] Maho**
I've heard about you from my brother!

You're disturbing the neighbors.
**[07:31] Maho**
Please, Kukuru, stay out of my way.
**[07:34] Maho**
I'm talking to Fuuka-chan right now.
**[07:37] Udon**
Here we go.
**[07:38] Karin**
They never get along.
**[07:40] Maho**
You smell nice, Fuuka-chan.
**[07:42] Maho**
Kukuru smells like fish.
**[07:44] Maho**
You're nothing like her.
**[07:47] Kukuru**
What's wrong with smelling fishy?
**[07:49] Kukuru**
You're a fisherman's daughter.
**[07:51] Maho**
Fuuka-chan's not as rural.
**[07:53] Maho**
She smells like Tokyo.
**[07:55] Kukuru**
Fuuka's from Iwate.
**[07:58] Maho**
Onii-chan!
**[07:59] Maho**
If you're going to date anyone,
it should be Fuuka-chan.
**[08:02] Maho**
Don't ever date Kukuru!
**[08:03] Kai**
What are you talking about?!
**[08:05] Maho**
I want a sister that's like Fuuka-chan.
**[08:08] Maho**
Marry Fuuka-chan, please, Onii-chan.
**[08:11] Maho**
Please?
**[08:12] Kai**
Damn this brat!
**[08:15] Kuuya**
I really can't handle elementary-school girls.
**[08:22] Udon**
Seems like Maho-chan really likes Fuuka-chan.
**[08:26] Kukuru**
Yeah.
**[08:27] Kukuru**
She's pretty.
**[08:29] Kukuru**
I can see why a kid would admire her.
**[08:31] Udon**
I've wanted an older sister before, too.
**[08:34] Udon**
I know how she feels.
**[08:37] Kukuru**
You're an only child, aren't you, Udon-chan?
**[08:39] Udon**
I am.
**[08:40] Udon**
My parents work me so hard.
**[08:43] Udon**
Haven't you ever felt like that?
**[08:45] Udon**
Have you wanted siblings?
**[08:47] Kukuru**
I have.
**[08:48] Kukuru**
For sports festivals and stuff.
**[08:50] Udon**
Totally.
**[08:51] Kukuru**
When families gets together for lunch,
the ones with siblings seem so lively.
**[08:58] Kukuru**
They seem to be having so much fun.
**[09:01] Kukuru**
You know how the siblings
who are close go halfsies and stuff?
**[09:04] Kukuru**
I've always envied that kind of thing.
**[09:09] Udon**
I know.
**[09:11] Udon**
You get different toys,
and you get to share clothes.
**[09:14] Udon**
I was so jealous.
**[09:16] Kukuru**
Exactly.
**[09:17] Fuuka**
I bought ice cream.
**[09:18] Kukuru**
Yay!
**[09:19] Udon**
Thanks, Fuuka.
**[09:22] Fuuka**
Eat it before it melts.
**[09:24] Kukuru**
You bought so many kinds.
**[09:26] Udon**
Thank you!
**[09:27] Kukuru**
Which one should I have?
**[09:29] Kukuru**
This one looks good, too.
**[09:31] Kukuru**
I can't decide.
**[09:32] Fuuka**
Want to go halfsies, then?
**[09:37] Kukuru**
Okay.
**[09:42] Kukuru**
Here.
**[09:43] Fuuka**
I'll go hand out the rest.
**[09:46] Udon**
Fuuka-chan's kind of like
your older sister, huh?
**[09:50] Kukuru**
Yeah.
**[09:57] Kai**
Which one do you want, Maho?

What are you doing here, Kuuya-kun?
**[10:28] Kuuya**
Hi.
**[10:29] Gramps**
It's your day off.
**[10:32] Gramps**
Aren't you having a barbecue?
**[10:35] Kuuya**
It's not really my thing.
**[10:36] Gramps**
You say that, but you're really here
because you're worried about work, aren't you?
**[10:41] Gramps**
Kukuru might come to take a peek
at some point, too.
**[10:45] Kuuya**
Is it busy inside?
**[10:48] Gramps**
We're just fine.
**[10:50] Kuuya**
You didn't have to give everyone
the same day off.
**[10:53] Gramps**
I need to get you and Kukuru
used to life without Gama Gama.
**[11:01] Gramps**
You wouldn't be ready for it if it were
to go away right at the end of August.
**[11:05] Gramps**
You'll burn out.
**[11:08] Gramps**
You haven't contacted Tingarla yet?
**[11:12] ---**
I'm sorry.
**[11:13] Gramps**
Their director was worried
that you might not come.
**[11:19] Kuuya**
I didn't feel like doing it
until we were done here.
**[11:24] Kukuru**
*What are they talking about?*
**[11:25] Gramps**
At least say "hi" to them, would you?
**[11:30] Kuuya**
How can you be so calm, Director?
**[11:34] Kuuya**
I seriously don't even care
about finding a new job.
**[11:38] Kuuya**
I just...
**[11:42] Gramps**
I'd be grateful if you
continued working here.

Take your time to decide.

Fuuka.
**[12:22] Fuuka**
What's wrong?
**[12:24] Fuuka**
You just vanished all of a sudden.
**[12:29] Kukuru**
I don't know if I'm going to be okay.
**[12:32] Kukuru**
Are we going to make it?
**[12:34] Kukuru**
I don't really have time to waste.
**[12:38] Kukuru**
Gramps is getting ready
to close the aquarium.
**[12:44] Kukuru**
If we don't do something...
**[12:51] Fuuka**
You aren't alone.

He knows so much.
**[13:58] Udon**
Wow, that's so awesome.
**[14:00] Udon**
More than your brother.
**[14:02] Kai**
Shut up, Udon-chan.
**[14:05] Rui**
Yakamashi-san.
**[14:07] Kuuya**
Hey! Why is he here?
**[14:09] Rui**
I'm surprised, too.
**[14:11] Rui**
No wonder you weren't at the aquarium.
**[14:13] Rui**
You're messing around here.
**[14:15] Rui**
That must be why it's closing down.
**[14:18] Fuuka**
Do those two not get along?
**[14:20] Kukuru**
Rui-kun thinks Kuuya-san is his rival.
**[14:24] Kukuru**
He's always showing off
his fish knowledge.
**[14:28] Rui**
Question: Where do spotnape
cardinalfish lay their eggs?
**[14:31] Kuuya**
Inside the male's mouth.
**[14:33] Rui**
Next question: How does the
bluestreak cleaner wrasse sleep?
**[14:36] Kuuya**
It makes a mucus sleeping bag
and sleeps in the cracks between rocks.
**[14:42] Kuuya**
I told you not to bother
competing against me.
**[14:46] Karin**
So Kukuru fights with Maho-chan,
and Yakamashi fights with Rui-kun?
**[14:51] Karin**
They're grade schoolers.
What are you both doing?
**[14:53] Udon**
Maybe you two are quite alike.
**[14:56] Udon**
You and Kuuya-san.
**[14:57] Kukuru**
No we aren't!
**[14:58] Kukuru**
I don't hate girls!
**[15:01] Karin**
Listen up, Yakamashi.
**[15:03] Kuuya**
What?
**[15:03] Karin**
Rui-kun has a crush on Maho-chan.
**[15:06] Karin**
He wants to impress her.
**[15:07] Karin**
Get it?
**[15:08] Kuuya**
What?
**[15:09] Karin**
Just cut him some slack!
**[15:12] Karin**
Be a grown-up!
**[15:14] Karin**
What else are you good at, Rui-kun?
**[15:17] Rui**
Running.
**[15:19] Karin**
Why don't you try running a race
against him, then?
**[15:21] Rui**
Sure.
**[15:22] Rui**
Yakamashi-san doesn't seem very fit, though.
**[15:25] Rui**
Is he going to be all right?
**[15:26] Kuuya**
What?
**[15:27] Kuuya**
Ow!
**[15:29] Karin**
You might be able to beat him
in beach flags, then.
**[15:33] Karin**
Right, Rui-kun?
**[15:35] Rui**
Yes.
**[15:36] Karin**
Right?
**[15:38] Kuuya**
What a pain in the ass.
**[15:53] Kuuya**
Don't underestimate grown-ups.
**[15:55] Rui**
And don't you underestimate grade-schoolers.
**[16:06] Udon**
Crap, he's got serious eyes.
**[16:08] Fuuka**
Is Kuuya-san a sore loser?
**[16:10] Karin**
Hey, you better go easy on him!
**[16:14] Rui**
It's fine.
**[16:15] Rui**
I'll be all right.
**[16:17] Rui**
I really want to impress her.
**[16:20] Karin**
Is he really in elementary school?
**[16:21] Udon**
What is this, a shoujo manga?
**[16:24] Rui**
Please go on a date with me
if I win this race, Maho-chan!
**[16:28] Maho**
I'll think about it.
**[16:31] Rui**
All right, I have to win!
**[16:34] Kuuya**
You don't know what
you've got coming, do you?
**[16:39] Rui**
What are you talking about?
**[16:41] Kuuya**
You should experience defeat early on.
**[16:46] Kai**
On your mark...
**[16:48] Kai**
Get set...
**[16:51] Kai**
Go!
**[16:59] Maho**
Go...
**[17:13] Kuuya**
It's mine!
**[17:22] Kuuya**
Ow!
**[17:23] Karin**
What are you doing
taking it so seriously? Idiot.
**[17:24] Udon**
You're such a child, Kuuya-san.
**[17:27] Kuuya**
Shut up, girls.
**[17:35] Maho**
Rui-Rui, you lost, but you looked
kind of awesome when you were running.
**[17:41] Rui**
Maho-chan...
**[17:43] Rui**
I'll win for sure next time.
**[17:45] Rui**
Watch me beat Yakamashi-san.
**[17:49] Maho**
Good luck.
**[17:50] ---**
Yeah!
**[17:51] Udon**
Grade-schoolers sure are simple.
**[17:53] Kai**
Having Maho around throws me off.
**[17:56] Kukuru**
Is that why you're working all summer?
**[18:00] Kai**
No.
**[18:02] Kai**
That's not really it.
**[18:08] Karin**
Yum!
**[18:10] Udon**
Lucky.
**[18:11] Udon**
Booze.
**[18:13] Karin**
Hurry and grow up.
**[18:16] Fuuka**
Where did Maho-chan and Rui-kun go?
**[18:18] Kukuru**
They went home before it got dark.
**[18:20] Karin**
Jeez, Yakamashi Kuuya...
**[18:23] Karin**
He's such a tight-ass.
**[18:26] Fuuka**
Karin-san, what is Kuuya-san like?
**[18:30] Fuuka**
I can't really figure him out,
even though I've been working with him.
**[18:35] Karin**
Well...
**[18:37] Kai**
That was unusual.
**[18:39] Kuuya**
Huh? What was?
**[18:41] Kai**
You were running for real
back there, weren't you?
**[18:46] Kai**
You always seem so indifferent.
**[18:48] Kuuya**
Not at all!
**[18:49] Kuuya**
I was only giving it, like, twenty percent.
**[18:53] Kai**
You're a different person
when you're drunk, aren't you?
**[18:56] Kuuya**
Sure, whatever.
**[19:00] Kuuya**
Sometimes, after you've grown up,
you have an urge to drink.
**[19:05] Kuuya**
You know, Kai-kun...
**[19:07] Kai**
What is it?
**[19:08] Kuuya**
Did you know I quit high school?
**[19:12] ---**
Uh, no...
**[19:14] Kuuya**
Believe it or not,
I've been through a lot.
**[19:17] Karin**
He was in my class in high school.
**[19:20] Karin**
He was pretty popular, too.
**[19:23] Karin**
He had good grades, and he was athletic.
**[19:25] Karin**
And he's pretty good-looking.
**[19:28] Karin**
He got asked out by a girl
who was the center of a mean-girl clique.
**[19:35] Karin**
He turned her down because he wasn't interested,
and the group came after him.
**[19:42] Karin**
They started spreading crazy rumors.
**[19:45] Karin**
It got out of hand,
and the police got involved.
**[19:47] Karin**
The school started treating him
like a problem child, too.
**[19:50] Karin**
He became disillusioned with girls
and the grown-ups around him.
**[19:54] Karin**
And he stopped talking,
and eventually, he quit school.
**[19:59] Fuuka**
Seriously?
**[20:01] Kuuya**
I quit school on a whim, but it wasn't like
there was anything I wanted to do.
**[20:06] Kuuya**
I was lost for a while,
until Kukuru's gramps took me in.
**[20:11] (Flashback) Gramps**
Kuuya-kun!
**[20:12] (Flashback) Gramps**
Take these for me, please.
**[20:14] (Flashback) Kuuya**
Yes, sir...
**[20:17] (Flashback) Gramps**
Kuuya-kun!
**[20:19] (Flashback) Gramps**
Could you do these, please?
**[20:21] (Flashback) Kuuya**
Yes, sir....
**[20:23] (Flashback) Gramps**
Kuuya-kun!
**[20:25] (Flashback) Kuuya**
Yes, sir!
**[20:26] Kuuya**
He was working me to death.
**[20:28] Kuuya**
I got pissed, and I figured
I'd try testing the director.
***SIGN*** Encyclopedia of World Aquatic Life
**[20:35] (Flashback) Kuuya**
Director, if you can't answer these questions,
you have to let me do less work.
**[20:40] (Flashback) Gramps**
Sure.
**[20:41] (Flashback) Gramps**
Ask me anything.
**[20:43] (Flashback) Kuuya**
*Alveopora japonica* have twelve tentacles.
**[20:46] (Flashback) Kuuya**
How many do *Goniopora lobata* have?
**[20:47] (Flashback) Gramps**
Twenty-four.
**[20:50] (Flashback) Kuuya**
Correct.
**[20:55] Kuuya**
He answers everything.
**[20:57] Kuuya**
I thought he was just some slow old fogey,
but he might be a genius.
**[21:04] Kuuya**
I ended up getting hooked on it.
**[21:09] (Flashback) Gramps**
There are all kinds of unique
creatures in the aquarium.
**[21:14] (Flashback) Gramps**
The staff can be, too.
**[21:17] (Flashback) Gramps**
As long as they do their work.
**[21:22] Kuuya**
He taught me all kinds of things.
**[21:25] Kuuya**
It was way more fun than school.
**[21:30] Kuuya**
Closing is...
**[21:34] Kuuya**
bullshit!
**[21:41] Karin**
Kai.
**[21:43] Karin**
We're heading home.
**[21:45] Kai**
Okay, got it.
**[21:50] Kai**
I'm worried, too.
**[21:53] Kai**
About her.
**[21:58] Kai**
I don't know if she can handle
Gama Gama closing.

Kudaka-san,
Nanjo General Clinic is on line two.
**[00:04] Karin**
Okay.
**[00:06] Karin**
Thanks for your call, Kudaka here.
**[00:08] Karin**
I'm in your care.
**[00:12] Karin**
Really?
**[00:14] Karin**
Huh?
**[00:15] Kukuru**
Really? We can do that?
**[00:16] Kukuru**
A traveling aquarium?
**[00:18] Karin**
Yeah.
**[00:18] Karin**
I just got a call
from the person in charge.
**[00:21] Karin**
We officially have permission.
**[00:23] Kukuru**
Nice!
**[00:25] Fuuka**
A traveling aquarium?
**[00:28] Kukuru**
We take marine life on tour for people
who can't make it to the aquarium.
**[00:33] Karin**
We'll be doing it at the pediatrics
department of Nanjo General Clinic.
**[00:37] Fuuka**
Huh.
**[00:38] Kukuru**
Oh, yeah, we need to tell Umi-yan.
**[00:41] Kukuru**
This was his idea, after all.
**[00:44] Umi**
Really?!
**[00:49] Umi**
Karin-chan, thank you so much!
**[00:53] Karin**
Oh, but there's one condition on us
doing the traveling aquarium.
**[00:57] Kukuru**
A condition?
**[02:28] Kukuru**
Take this too, please.
**[02:30] Kukuru**
There we go.
**[02:31] Kai**
Huh?
**[02:32] Kai**
That's it?
**[02:33] Kuuya**
Didn't we bring more species along before?
**[02:36] Kuuya**
Where are the crabs?
**[02:37] Kukuru**
No, no, no!
**[02:38] Kukuru**
Crabs are banned.
**[02:41] Kai**
Banned?
**[02:43] Kukuru**
The pediatrics head nurse said...
**[02:46] (Flashback) Nurse**
I'm really scared of the C-word.
**[02:49] (Flashback) Kukuru**
"C"?
**[02:51] (Flashback) Nurse**
They have two pincers, and they crawl
side to side with their eight legs.
**[02:55] (Flashback) Nurse**
Those things give me the chills.
**[02:57] (Flashback) Kukuru**
Oh, you mean crabs.
**[02:58] (Flashback) Nurse**
Stop!
**[02:59] (Flashback) Nurse**
Don't even say the word!
**[03:00] (Flashback) Nurse**
What a hideous name.
**[03:05] (Flashback) Nurse**
Do *not* bring them.
**[03:09] (Flashback) Nurse**
Can you promise that?
**[03:13] Kai**
She hates crabs *that* much?
**[03:15] Kuuya**
Does she have some kind
of beef with them?
**[03:17] Umi**
Let's take these guys, too.
**[03:21] Fuuka**
Garra rufa?
**[03:23] Umi**
Correct.
**[03:24] Umi**
They're going to be our stars today.
**[03:27] Umi**
I'm sure they'll be popular.
**[03:31] Umi**
Want a ride next to me, Fuuka-chan?
**[03:36] Kukuru**
Want the AC?
**[03:40] Kukuru**
Okay, I'll see you there.
**[03:44] Kai**
Too bad for you.
**[03:46] Kai**
These'll keep you company.
**[03:49] Kuuya**
They're way better than her.
**[03:54] Umi**
Hey, riding with you
won't be bad, either.
**[03:59] Umi**
All right, we're counting on you!

Thank you.
**[04:29] Karin**
The venue is in the general
purpose room on the third floor.
**[04:31] Karin**
We start at 1 P.M., after lunchtime.
**[04:34] Karin**
You can bring in supplies from there.
**[04:36] Karin**
Be sure not to disturb the patients.
**[04:39] Kukuru**
Yeah, okay.
**[04:41] Fuuka**
You're kind of amazing.
**[04:43] Fuuka**
You're so on-the-ball.
**[04:45] Kukuru**
Karin-chan's a capable woman.
**[04:47] Karin**
Hey! No toying with grown-ups.
**[04:50] Karin**
We don't have time.
**[04:51] Karin**
Hurry.
**[04:52] Fuuka**
Okay.
**[04:58] Umi**
I'll take care of carrying the equipment.
**[05:00] Umi**
Take care of these kids for me.
**[05:03] Fuuka**
It'll get too warm outside, huh?
**[05:05] Kukuru**
Yeah.
**[05:06] Kukuru**
Let's bring them in quickly.
**[05:08] Kukuru**
Is your back okay, though?
**[05:11] Umi**
No problem.
**[05:12] Umi**
I've been working on my muscles.
**[05:20] Kukuru**
Are you sure you're okay?
**[05:23] Umi**
No problem...
**[05:31] Kukuru**
Is this it?
**[05:32] Karin**
Seems so.
**[05:34] Kinjou**
Sorry we left it so cluttered here.
**[05:37] Kukuru**
Kinjou-san.
**[05:38] Kukuru**
Good morning!
**[05:40] Kinjou**
I wanted to make sure you'd have plenty
of space, but we didn't have enough staff.
**[05:45] Kukuru**
We'll take care of it. It's all right.
**[05:48] Kukuru**
Oh, there's something I wanted to give you!
**[05:50] Kinjou**
I'm sorry. I'm in a hurry right now.
**[05:53] Kinjou**
I'll be back later.
**[06:07] Umi**
I brought the stuff.
**[06:08] Kinjou**
I had a creepy feeling just now.
**[06:10] Nurse**
Head Nurse!
**[06:12] Kinjou**
I'll be right there.
**[06:18] Karin**
So heavy.
**[06:19] Fuuka**
I'll take it.
**[06:25] Karin**
Fuuka-chan, do you happen
to be pretty strong?
**[06:30] Fuuka**
I think I got stronger
from working at Gama Gama.
**[06:33] Kukuru**
People tend to think we just sit there
looking pretty at aquariums,
**[06:38] ---**
but there's quite a bit of heavy-lifting.
**[06:41] Karin**
Wow.
**[06:42] Umi**
I'll leave the tank here.
**[06:45] Karin**
Okay.
**[06:46] Fuuka**
Let's tidy up quickly.
**[07:02] Karin**
Do you always lay down a tarp?
**[07:04] Kukuru**
We absolutely don't want
to make a mess at the venue.
**[07:07] Kukuru**
We don't want to let a single drop
of water get on the floor.
**[07:10] Karin**
Huh.
**[07:12] A**
Is the aquarium here?
**[07:14] Karin**
After lunch.
**[07:16] Karin**
We brought fish and starfish and stuff.
**[07:18] Karin**
You should come check it out.
**[07:19] A**
Okay!
**[07:21] Umi**
She's not here.
**[07:23] ---**
What is it?
**[07:24] Karin**
Oh, nothing.
**[07:25] Karin**
I'm going to go get some things
that I left behind.
**[07:30] Karin**
Kudaka here.
**[07:33] Karin**
Yes.
**[07:34] Karin**
Understood.
**[07:35] Karin**
Kukuru, Kinjou-san has some time now.
**[07:38] Kukuru**
Fuuka, can you take care
of the rest by yourself?
**[07:42] Fuuka**
Leave it to me.
**[07:43] Fuuka**
I'll get the prep done.
**[07:45] Kukuru**
Thanks.
**[07:46] Kukuru**
Okay, I'll see you later.
**[08:07] Fuuka**
Crab!
**[08:08] Fuuka**
How?
**[08:10] Fuuka**
No one's looking, are they?
**[08:14] Fuuka**
What do I do?

Um...

Thanks for being so considerate.
**[09:12] Kukuru**
For the children.
**[09:14] Nurse**
I'm sure they'll be ecstatic.
**[09:18] Kukuru**
Do you like garden eels?
**[09:21] Kukuru**
They're so adorable, huh?
**[09:23] Kukuru**
Their faces are so expressive!
**[09:26] Kukuru**
They look around for food
with their huge eyes!
**[09:30] Kukuru**
And when food drifts along,
they stretch out to catch it.
**[09:34] Kukuru**
Sometimes they catch something else
by accident and puke it out.
**[09:38] Karin**
Kukuru.
**[09:40] Nurse**
You really love fish,
don't you, Misakino-san?
**[09:44] Karin**
She goes off into her own world
when it comes to fish.
**[09:48] Nurse**
You're quite the passionate person
as well, Kudaka-san.
**[09:51] Karin**
Me?
**[09:52] Nurse**
I heard from PR that you've submitted
event proposals several times
**[09:57] ---**
to try to make the
traveling aquarium happen.
**[09:59] Kukuru**
Karin-chan...
**[10:00] Karin**
Oh, it's nothing.
**[10:02] Nurse**
They said they were moved by your desire
**[10:05] ---**
to make it come to life
before the aquarium closed.
**[10:11] Nurse**
Everyone's looking forward to it.
**[10:13] Nurse**
We'll be in your care today.
**[10:16] Karin**
So will we.
**[10:17] Karin**
I look forward to working with you.
**[10:23] Karin**
Kukuru.
**[10:27] Kukuru**
Anyone would expect that we're closing.
**[10:32] Karin**
I've been going to Gama Gama
since I was a kid.
**[10:35] Karin**
I have a lot of memories there.
**[10:37] Karin**
I really don't want it to close, either!
**[10:41] Karin**
But no matter how many times I talk
to the city, I don't get a positive response.
**[10:45] Karin**
There's nothing we can do at this rate.
**[10:48] Karin**
Working at the Tourism Association,
I get all sorts of information.
**[10:53] Karin**
There's a lot of enthusiasm for the aquarium
that's being built at the center.
**[10:58] Karin**
Even if Gama Gama survives,
the tourists will...
**[11:07] Fuuka**
It's not here.
**[11:09] Fuuka**
I can't find it anywhere.
**[11:11] Fuuka**
What do I do?
**[11:13] Fuuka**
Umi-yan!
**[11:14] Fuuka**
Help me!
**[11:18] Fuuka**
Crab!
**[11:30] Kuuya**
Are we missing one?
**[11:33] Kuuya**
Is it just my imagination?
**[11:35] Kuuya**
No, but...
**[11:37] Kai**
Maybe you're tired.
**[11:39] Kuuya**
No kidding.
**[11:41] Kuuya**
I did three people's worth of work.
**[11:46] Kai**
Kukuru and the others are working hard
right about now, too.
**[11:56] Umi**
What's the matter?
**[12:02] Kukuru**
Gama Gama...
**[12:05] Kukuru**
Do you think it's going to close, too?
**[12:12] Umi**
I don't know.
**[12:15] Umi**
Nothing about the future
is ever certain.
**[12:19] Umi**
We can only do the best we can
for the time now.
**[12:22] Kukuru**
Is that why you came up
with the traveling aquarium?
**[12:24] Umi**
That's right.
**[12:26] Umi**
But I don't know
if this was the right decision.
**[12:29] Kukuru**
What do you mean?
**[12:31] Umi**
You know Airi-chan, the girl who used
to come to Gama Gama often?
**[12:35] Kukuru**
Oh, the girl that had lots
of requests for you.
**[12:39] Umi**
Yeah.
**[12:40] Umi**
That girl's hospitalized here.
**[12:44] Umi**
I made her a promise before.
**[12:52] (Flashback) Airi**
It's still not here!
**[12:54] (Flashback) Airi**
You promised you'd have garra rufa.
**[12:57] (Flashback) Airi**
You liar!
**[12:59] (Flashback) Umi**
Sorry, sorry.
**[13:00] (Flashback) Umi**
Next week.
**[13:01] (Flashback) Umi**
The tests will be done next week,
and then we can put them on display.
**[13:04] (Flashback) Airi**
Promise?
**[13:06] (Flashback) Umi**
Promise.
**[13:07] (Flashback) Umi**
I'll have them here
for sure this time.
**[13:09] (Flashback) Umi**
You'd better look forward to it.
**[13:11] (Flashback) Airi**
Okay.
**[13:12] (Flashback) Airi**
I get to see them next week.
**[13:14] (Flashback) Airi**
Yay!
**[13:15] (Flashback) Airi**
Thanks, Umi-yan.
**[13:19] Umi**
But Airi-chan stopped coming the next week.
**[13:24] Umi**
She didn't come the week after that,
or the week after.
**[13:27] Umi**
And I ended up taking a break
to deal with my back pain.
**[13:31] Umi**
And then, the other day, I heard from
Rui-kun that she's hospitalized here.
**[13:37] Kukuru**
I see.
**[13:38] Kukuru**
That's why...

Where are you?
A xanthid crab snuck in, and it's gotten loose,
and I can't find it. Help!
**[13:45] Kukuru**
Shoot!
**[13:46] Kukuru**
A xanthid crab came along!
**[13:48] Umi**
Let's get back!
**[13:51] Fuuka**
What do we do? We don't have time.
**[13:53] Karin**
We've looked really hard,
and we still can't find it, which means...
**[13:57] Fuuka**
Was I mistaken?
**[13:59] Fuuka**
No, it definitely pinched me.
**[14:02] Kukuru**
Sorry, I'm here now!
**[14:06] Umi**
Oh, man!
**[14:07] Umi**
You're almost done.
**[14:09] Umi**
Sorry to make you do all the work.
**[14:12] Umi**
So, is it true that a xanthid crab—
**[14:15] Kinjou**
Seems that you're all set.
**[14:17] Kinjou**
It's a bit early,
but shall we get started?
**[14:20] Kinjou**
The children are really eager.
**[14:23] Kukuru**
R-Right.
**[14:25] Karin**
I'll sneak out to look for them.

Whoa, it kinda stinks.
**[14:36] Fuuka**
It smells like the sea.
**[14:38] A**
I'm touching this?
**[14:40] Fuuka**
Touch it gently in the water.
**[14:42] A**
It's cold.
**[14:46] B**
It feels rough.
**[14:47] B**
Weird!
**[14:49] Fuuka**
This one's a sand dollar.
**[14:51] Fuuka**
It's going to burrow into the sand.
**[14:53] Fuuka**
Watch carefully.
**[15:05] A**
That's so weird.
**[15:07] B**
Hey, what's this one?
**[15:09] Fuuka**
That one's called a cushion star.
**[15:12] Fuuka**
It's round like a steamed bun, right?
**[15:14] A**
It looks nasty!
**[15:17] Karin**
Wash your hands

**[15:19] A**
Okay!

Well? It tickles, doesn't it?

Airi-chan!
**[15:38] Umi**
Wait.
**[15:42] Umi**
Come look and touch them.
**[15:48] Umi**
You've been wanting
to see them so much.
**[15:52] Airi**
It's not the same.
**[15:56] Airi**
It's not the same anymore.
**[16:00] Umi**
The animals of the sea don't mind.
**[16:02] Airi**
I don't care to see them.
**[16:04] Airi**
I don't like fish at all!
**[16:06] Airi**
I don't want to see them!
**[16:07] Airi**
Go away!

Give me a second.
**[16:16] Kinjou**
What's the matter?
**[16:21] Kinjou**
Shall we go back to your room?
**[16:52] Kinjou**
Help me...

Kinjou-san!
**[17:04] Umi**
Wait.
**[17:27] Kukuru**
Are you all right?
**[17:30] Kukuru**
Let's go rest over there.
**[17:32] Karin**
I'll take you.
**[17:35] A**
It's alive.
**[17:38] Umi**
Thank you.
**[17:41] Umi**
Let's go.
**[17:47] Umi**
Here.
**[18:07] Umi**
Garra rufa are also called doctor fish.
**[18:11] Airi**
They eat dead skin cells,
so they make your skin healthy.
**[18:15] Umi**
That's my girl.
**[18:21] Airi**
Thanks, Umi-yan.
**[18:24] Umi**
Yup.
**[18:31] Umi**
A new promise?
**[18:33] Umi**
As long as you aren't going to ask
for whales or dolphins or anything.
**[18:36] Airi**
No, I'm going to make a promise.
**[18:43] Airi**
I'm going to be strong, so I can
go back to Gama Gama someday.
**[18:48] Umi**
Yeah.
**[18:50] Airi**
Promise.
**[18:57] Umi**
*Gama Gama is...*
**[19:04] Kukuru**
I'm so sorry.
**[19:05] Kukuru**
I can't believe we brought a crab—
I mean, a C-word along.
**[19:09] Karin**
We're truly sorry.
**[19:11] Kinjou**
I can't let this slide, especially
from a hygiene standpoint.
**[19:17] Kinjou**
I'll be filing a formal complaint with
the aquarium and Tourism Association...
**[19:22] Kinjou**
...is what I'm tempted to say.
**[19:28] Kinjou**
But in consideration of the smiles
you've brought to the children's faces,
**[19:30] ---**
I'll look the other way, just this once.
**[19:33] Kinjou**
I've never seen their eyes
sparkle so much here.
**[19:37] Kinjou**
It's thanks to you all and the... crab.
**[19:52] Kukuru**
Karin-chan.
**[19:55] Kukuru**
Sorry about earlier.
**[19:58] Kukuru**
I came off really nasty.
**[20:04] Karin**
Nah.
**[20:07] Karin**
Hey, I like aquarium attendants.
**[20:13] Karin**
Have I ever told you my dream?
**[20:17] Karin**
I wanted to be an aquarium attendant.
**[20:19] Kukuru**
Really?
**[20:25] Karin**
I was pretty serious about it, too.
**[20:29] Karin**
But my parents were struggling
with their business.
**[20:32] Karin**
So they talked me into
finding a stable job.
**[20:36] Karin**
I could see where my parents
were coming from, so that's what I did.
**[20:41] Karin**
This job's fun,
and it feels really worthwhile.
**[20:47] Karin**
But I noticed that ever since the day
I gave up on becoming an aquarium attendant,
**[20:50] ---**
I got better at forcing myself
to accept things.
**[20:57] Karin**
So when I see you going headlong
toward your dream, I get really envious.
**[21:03] Karin**
You're strong.
**[21:10] Kukuru**
I'm not strong.
**[21:13] Kukuru**
It's just that if I give up,
Gama Gama is finished.
**[21:19] Kukuru**
So...
**[21:23] ---**
I won't ever give up!
**[21:29] Kukuru**
Hey!
**[21:31] Kukuru**
Let's go home.

That's the new aquarium that's opening
next year in the city center.
**[00:16] Gramps**
Right.
**[00:18] Gramps**
Would you like to join someone

**[00:26] Gramps**
How about Kukuru?

You're the acting director, after all.

Why is a rival bringing someone
to Gama Gama to study?
**[02:10] Kuuya**
They aren't really rivals.
**[02:12] Kuuya**
Aquariums tend to help each other out.
**[02:15] Umi**
I hear the staff at Tingarla all go
to different aquariums to study.
**[02:21] Umi**
Isn't that great?
**[02:22] Umi**
There's something exciting
about a new aquarium.
**[02:25] Kuuya**
What a pain in the ass.
**[02:27] Kai**
I hope Kukuru's going to be all right.
**[02:36] Kukuru**
I see.
**[02:37] Kukuru**
A new aquarium, huh?
**[02:42] Chiyu**
Misakino-san, may I participate?
**[02:46] Chiyu**
You just need these ones
chopped up small, right?
**[02:57] Chiyu**
Will that do?
**[03:00] Kukuru**
Yes.
**[03:01] Chiyu**
These are going to the animals
in the main tank, right?
**[03:03] Kukuru**
Y-Yeah.
**[03:05] Kukuru**
Since there are all kinds of animals there,
we chop them in different sizes
**[03:08] ---**
so it's easier to eat.
**[03:09] Kukuru**
So that the smaller fish can eat it, too.
**[03:12] Chiyu**
You have different kinds, too, huh?
**[03:14] Kukuru**
Yeah.
**[03:15] Kukuru**
We have different kinds.
**[03:16] Kukuru**
Do you know what we're
feeding them today?
**[03:20] Kukuru**
I don't know how great
the new aquarium is,
**[03:23] ---**
but if you're going to work here,
this is common sense.
**[03:26] Chiyu**
Brit,
**[03:28] Chiyu**
opossum shrimp, blue-sprat, squid, mackerel.
**[03:33] Chiyu**
Is that right?
**[03:35] Kukuru**
H-Hey, as long as you know.
**[03:39] Chiyu**
I was quite sure I knew,
but it's good to learn on-site again.
**[03:44] Chiyu**
Thank you!
**[03:49] Kukuru**
You can get to the back
of the main tank through here.
**[03:52] ---**
Right!
**[03:55] Chiyu**
It's a Cinderella sea slug!
**[03:56] Chiyu**
It's so cute.
**[03:58] Kukuru**
You recognize it?
**[04:00] Chiyu**
Yes!
**[04:01] Chiyu**
With its colorful pinks, it's like a flower
blooming on the bottom of the sea.
**[04:05] Chiyu**
I hear they're difficult to raise, though.
**[04:08] Kukuru**
They are!
**[04:10] Kukuru**
We finally figured out how to raise them,
after a lot of trouble!
**[04:15] Kukuru**
We'll take a short break
after we're done with feeding.
**[04:18] Chiyu**
Got it.

I'm sending you to Gama Gama.
**[04:54] (Flashback) B**
You said you preferred
somewhere nearby, right?
**[04:58] (Flashback) Chiyu**
But Gama Gama is the one
that's closing soon, isn't it?
**[05:02] (Flashback) Chiyu**
It seems to me
I'd be learning from failure.

No, no.
**[05:06] (Flashback) B**
You're new, so you may not know,
**[05:09] (Flashback) ---**
but the director at Gama Gama's been called
the "legendary aquarium keeper."
**[05:14] (Flashback) Chiyu**
Legendary?
**[05:15] (Flashback) B**
Yeah.
**[05:16] (Flashback) B**
He's been to aquariums all over.
**[05:21] (Flashback) B**
He's been able to present all kinds
of animals that are difficult to raise.
**[05:24] (Flashback) B**
And he's saved failing aquariums
with unique events.
**[05:27] (Flashback) B**
He has a long résumé of successes.
**[05:29] (Flashback) Chiyu**
Huh.
**[05:30] (Flashback) B**
I'm sure you'll learn a lot
by watching him work.
**[05:36] (Flashback) Chiyu**
All right.
**[05:38] (Flashback) Chiyu**
I'll go see for myself
whether he's really that amazing.
**[05:43] Chiyu**
I thought I'd get to learn from
the legendary aquarium keeper,
**[05:47] ---**
but the equipment is falling apart,
and things are just really meh.

**[06:10] Kukuru**
Let's get back to walking, then.
**[06:13] Fuuka**
Good for you, Choko-san!
**[06:15] Fuuka**
We're off break!
**[06:18] Kukuru**
We're about to walk the penguins.
**[06:21] Kukuru**
There isn't anything for you to do,
so you can just follow us.
**[06:26] Chiyu**
I can at least guide the guests, though.
**[06:29] Chiyu**
I don't think there are
that many guests here, anyway.
**[06:33] Fuuka**
We wouldn't want for anything
to go wrong, though.
**[06:36] Kukuru**
We don't get many guests here?
**[06:38] Kukuru**
Was that an insult?
**[06:38] Fuuka**
Kukuru!
**[06:44] Kukuru**
You can come see the penguins
close up, Haebaru-san.
**[06:47] Chiyu**
Right.
**[06:48] Chiyu**
Thank you!
**[06:50] Chiyu**
I will.
**[06:54] Fuuka**
Are you sure?
**[06:55] Fuuka**
What if the penguins attack her as they
did me, and she falls into the tank?
**[06:59] Kukuru**
That'll be a good teaching moment.
**[07:00] Fuuka**
Kukuru!
**[07:01] Chiyu**
There, there.
**[07:03] Chiyu**
Good kids.
**[07:04] Fuuka**
Haebaru-san, they're going to peck
at you if you try to touch them!
**[07:08] Fuuka**
You shouldn't agitate them!
**[07:09] Chiyu**
Oh, really?
**[07:11] Chiyu**
Maybe I should stand back a little.
**[07:16] Chiyu**
They peck at people
who they aren't used to, huh?
**[07:18] Chiyu**
That sounds just like Misakino-san.
**[07:22] Fuuka**
Haebaru-san!
**[07:23] Chiyu**
Oh, I'm sorry.
**[07:25] Chiyu**
You said not to agitate them.
**[07:28] Chiyu**
I'll be careful going forward.
**[07:31] Fuuka**
I'm sure she didn't mean anything by it.
**[07:33] Kukuru**
She obviously did!
**[07:38] Fuuka**
Time to walk the penguins!
**[07:41] Fuuka**
These penguins are known as Cape penguins.
**[07:45] Fuuka**
You can recognize them by
the black line under their beaks,
**[07:48] ---**
and the dots on their bellies.
**[07:51] Fuuka**
The name Cape penguin comes
from the Cape area of South Africa.
**[07:56] Fuuka**
They're the only species
of penguin in Africa.
**[07:59] Fuuka**
They're known to bite
when they're threatened,
**[08:03] ---**
but all the kids at Gama Gama
walk happily together!
**[08:11] Fuuka**
All the kids walk happily together!
**[08:19] Umi**

**[09:01] Kukuru**
I don't want the new aquarium

**[09:05] Gramps**
It doesn't matter.
**[09:07] Gramps**
If more people get to see the sea creatures
and get to love them just a little,
**[09:11] ---**
that's all that matters, right?
**[09:13] Kukuru**
You might be okay with that,
but it has to be Gama Gama for me.
**[09:18] Grams**
It's true, isn't it?
**[09:20] Kukuru**
Grams?
**[09:22] Grams**
You don't know anything about

**[09:29] Grams**
It's important to have even a little

You both love aquariums.
**[09:38] Grams**
It'll be more fun if you can get along.
**[09:44] Kukuru**

Am I trying to protect Gama Gama?
**[09:55] Kukuru**
Or am I just clinging to my memories?
**[10:02] Fuuka**
I think it's okay either way.
**[10:04] Fuuka**
You care about Gama Gama,
and I support that.
**[10:10] Kukuru**
Thanks.
**[10:12] Fuuka**
But I think your attitude today wasn't great.
**[10:16] Fuuka**
I wish you would have been more steady,
as the acting director.
**[10:22] Kukuru**
I'll be more careful.
**[10:25] Kukuru**
I'd be tarnishing Gama
Gama's reputation if I act up.
**[10:30] Fuuka**
Exactly!
**[10:31] Fuuka**

**[10:36] Kukuru**
Hey...
**[10:39] Kukuru**
Can I ask you a weird question?
**[10:42] Fuuka**
What?
**[10:45] Kukuru**
Sometimes, I wish I had
an older sister like you.
**[10:52] Fuuka**
We're the same age, though.
**[10:56] Kukuru**
There are some things that my parents
cherished in the family altar drawer.
**[11:04] Kukuru**
Apparently, you get one maternity
handbook for every child you have.
**[11:10] Kukuru**
So one's for me,
and I don't know about the other.
**[11:15] Fuuka**
What does Grams say?
**[11:17] Kukuru**
I can't ask her.
**[11:19] Kukuru**
I'm kind of scared.
**[11:23] Kukuru**
But I keep imagining...
**[11:25] Kukuru**
Maybe I have siblings
that I've never met.
**[11:30] Kukuru**
And for some reason,
we've had to live apart.
**[11:35] Kukuru**
I bet it'd make me really happy
if I suddenly had an older sister.
**[11:42] Fuuka**
You'd be happy?
**[11:43] Kukuru**
I would be.
**[11:44] Kukuru**
I'd have more family.
**[11:50] Kukuru**
That's my weird talk.
**[11:52] Fuuka**
Let's hold hands in bed tonight.
**[11:54] Kukuru**
It's okay. Don't worry about me!

Jeez, that's embarrassing.

I don't care about you anymore.
**[12:36] Udon**
Hello!
**[12:37] Udon**
Kamee's special lunch boxes are here.
**[12:41] Udon**
Today on the menu is salt-grilled mackerel.
**[12:47] Udon**
Is that her?
**[12:48] Fuuka**
Yeah.
**[12:49] Fuuka**
She's here for training, from Tingarla.
**[12:52] Udon**
I think I'll go say "hi."
**[12:53] Chiyu**
Director, may I have a word?
**[12:56] Gramps**
Sure, what is it?
**[12:58] Chiyu**
I'd like for you to tutor me
from the afternoon, if it's possible.
**[13:03] Chiyu**
My boss told me, too.
**[13:05] Chiyu**
To go see the work
of the legendary aquarium keeper.
**[13:09] Udon**
Legendary aquarium keeper?
**[13:10] Umi**
Yeah, that's what they used
to call the director.
**[13:14] Gramps**
What do you think, Kukuru?
**[13:16] Kukuru**
I don't mind either way.
**[13:19] Gramps**
All right.
**[13:20] Gramps**
Let's switch, then.
**[13:22] Chiyu**
Thank you!
**[13:24] Udon**
Hello!
**[13:25] Udon**
I came to deliver lunch.
**[13:27] Udon**
I'm Teruya Tsukimi, from Kamee Diner.
**[13:30] Udon**
Would you like to order something
for tomorrow, too, miss?
**[13:34] Chiyu**
No, thanks.
**[13:39] Udon**
She's so blunt.
**[13:47] Gramps**
From noon today, huh?
**[13:49] Chiyu**
Yes.
**[13:50] Gramps**
There isn't really anything
to do in particular.
**[13:55] Chiyu**
* He just looks like some*
* old retired guy killing time.*
**[14:01] Chiyu**
*But he's the legendary aquarium keeper.*
**[14:03] Chiyu**
* He must be casually checking*
* the fish along the way.*
**[14:09] Gramps**
Hey.
**[14:10] Chiyu**
*The legend has noticed something!*
**[14:12] Gramps**
Oh, you finally got a rare card.
**[14:16] A**
Yup.
**[14:17] Gramps**
That's amazing.
**[14:19] Gramps**
Show me again next time.
**[14:21] A**
Okay!
**[14:24] Chiyu**
Why are those kids playing
card games at an aquarium?
**[14:28] Gramps**
The kids with annual passes
come here all the time.
**[14:33] Gramps**
They've gotten bored already.
**[14:41] Chiyu**
You're guests! Why are you...
**[14:43] A**
I'm sorry. I made a bit of a mess,
so we're borrowing the cleaning equipment.
**[14:49] Chiyu**
I'm sorry. We shouldn't
be making guests clean.
**[14:52] A**
It's all right.
**[14:54] B**
We've got plenty of time, anyway.
**[14:56] Gramps**
I'm sorry.
**[14:58] Gramps**
Thanks for everything.
**[15:00] A**
Gramps really likes
to work people to the bone.
**[15:07] C**
So we're getting married.
**[15:09] D**
We came home for Obon,
so we thought you'd let you know.
**[15:13] Gramps**
Good for you.
**[15:15] Gramps**
Are you keeping busy?
**[15:17] E**
All the time, lately.
**[15:19] F**
We're trucking dirt around
all day, every day.
**[15:22] ---**
Is that so?
**[15:23] Chiyu**
The guests here aren't
even looking at the fish.
**[15:28] Chiyu**
I've had enough.
**[15:30] Chiyu**
I don't think there's anything more
to learn from there.
**[15:33] A**
*What?*
**[15:34] Chiyu**
It was a mistake to come
to an aquarium that's about to close.
**[15:38] Chiyu**
May I go train somewhere else?
**[15:41] A**
*Listen...*
**[15:42] Chiyu**
I got taught by a high-schooler!
**[15:45] Chiyu**
You don't think that's too half-assed?
**[15:47] A**
*That's a bit much, but...*
**[15:49] Chiyu**
I want to spend the rest of my time
training properly at a different aquarium.
**[15:54] Chiyu**
Please!
**[15:58] A**
*Fine.*
**[15:59] A**
*I'll talk to another aquarium.*
**[16:02] A**
* I'll apologize to the director*
* of Gama Gama for you.*
**[16:07] Chiyu**
Please and thank you.
**[16:15] Chiyu**
You have no idea how hard
it was to get this far.
**[16:19] A**
What we like about Gama Gama?
**[16:21] Kukuru**
Yeah.
**[16:22] Kukuru**
Something about it that makes it even more
awesome than a brand-new, fancy aquarium.
**[16:26] A**
Is there anything?
**[16:27] B**
The cheap entry fee!
**[16:31] A**
Something weird happened, though.
**[16:34] A**
That was really cool!
**[16:36] Kukuru**
What happened?
**[16:38] A**
I saw the dog I used to have.
**[16:40] A**
Here.
**[16:45] A**
That was really nostalgic!
**[16:47] B**
Are you sure?
**[16:48] Kukuru**
Really?
**[16:49] A**
I called his name,
and he was wagging his tail.
**[17:02] Chiyu**
I'm done training today.
**[17:06] Kukuru**
Already?
**[17:07] Chiyu**
Yes.
**[17:08] Chiyu**
I don't think I was a good fit here.
**[17:12] Kukuru**
What do you mean by "not a good fit"?
**[17:14] Chiyu**
I was trained by a high schooler,
people were chatting all day on site...
**[17:19] Chiyu**
It felt like a waste of time.
**[17:23] Kukuru**
The director is trying
to teach you something deeper.
**[17:27] Kukuru**
Not that a shallow-minded person
like you would understand,
**[17:30] ---**
coming to conclusions after just two days.
**[17:38] Chiyu**
You may be having fun play-working,
but I'm desperate.
**[17:43] Kukuru**
*"Play"?*
**[17:44] Chiyu**
That's right.
**[17:45] Chiyu**
Thousands of people look
for employment every year,
**[17:47] ---**
after graduating from
technical schools and colleges.
**[17:49] Chiyu**
Meanwhile, there are only about
a hundred aquariums around Japan.
**[17:53] Chiyu**
Do you know how few of them are hiring?
**[17:56] Chiyu**
I made it through a narrow
window to finally get here.
**[18:00] Chiyu**
I don't want to let go of the job
that I earned for myself.
**[18:04] Chiyu**
So I want proper training. That's all.
**[18:08] Chiyu**
You're still in high school
and helping out the family business, correct?
**[18:13] Chiyu**
You don't know what it's like
to have to make money.
**[18:16] Chiyu**
You're underestimating things.
**[18:22] Chiyu**
It wasn't for very long,
but thank you for your time.
**[18:26] Chiyu**
Excuse me.
**[18:38] Kai**
Hey.
**[18:39] Kai**
I'm done with work early today.
I'll see you.
**[18:47] Kukuru**
Kai!
**[18:48] Kukuru**
Give me a hand!
**[18:50] Kai**
Fine, fine.
**[18:52] Kukuru**
I hate her!
**[18:53] Kukuru**
Never come back, you evil spirit!
**[18:55] Kukuru**
Damn it!
**[18:56] Kukuru**
I can't stand it!
**[18:58] Kai**
You're so immature.
**[19:00] Kukuru**
That's what she said, too!
**[19:05] Kai**
You underestimate me.
**[19:05] Kai**
Small fish in a big pond.
**[19:10] Kukuru**
And you're swimming with sharks.
**[19:13] Kai**
Ow!
**[19:14] Kai**
This better be part of my pay.
**[19:18] A**
Challenge!
**[19:18] B**
Ack.
**[19:19] B**
Hang on.
**[19:20] A**
Nope.
**[19:22] Fuuka**
Are you two not going
to look at the fish?
**[19:25] B**
No, we aren't.
**[19:27] A**
We already know them all!
**[19:29] A**
Those ones in the deep sea tank
are spiny lobster, big roughy,
**[19:33] ---**
Bathynomus doederleinii,
Japanese spider crab.
**[19:36] B**
In the reef tank are a bicolor angelfish,
blueface angelfish, brown tang,
**[19:41] ---**
lemon damsel, amethyst anthias, honeycomb toby,
blue tang, yellow longnose butterflyfish.
**[19:46] A**
That's not right.
**[19:48] A**
The yellow longnose butterflyfish got moved
to the welcome tank, remember?
**[19:51] B**
Really? When did that happen?
**[19:54] (Flashback) Chiyu**
The guests here aren't
even looking at the fish.
**[20:01] Fuuka**
Of course you are.
**[20:13] Chiyu**
Thank you.
**[20:14] Gramps**
Come back soon.
**[20:16] Gramps**
Say "hi" to the director at Tingarla for me.
**[20:21] Chiyu**
Okay.
**[20:32] Chiyu**
I'm never coming back.
**[20:41] Fuuka**
Thanks for waiting.
**[20:42] Kukuru**
Sorry, Fuuka.
**[20:43] Kukuru**
I'll be home later.
**[20:46] Kukuru**
I need to stop by somewhere.
**[20:48] Kukuru**
Tell them I won't need dinner.
**[21:06] Grams**
Where did Kukuru say she's going?
**[21:08] Fuuka**
She hasn't told me anything.

**[00:15] Kai**
* The first time I met her,*
* Kukuru's tiny back was shaking.*
**[00:39] Kai**
*What can I say to her?*
**[02:50] Kuuya**
Isn't that...
**[02:52] Umi**
The air pump for the anemone-fish.
**[02:54] Umi**
It was breaking down, so I found
one that works and replaced it.
**[02:58] Kuuya**
I guess there's no sense
buying a new one now, huh?
**[03:03] Kukuru**
Thanks, Umi-yan.
**[03:05] Umi**
Sure.
**[03:09] Kukuru**
*There's no more time.*
**[03:11] Kukuru**
*I want a final chance to turn it around.*
**[03:18] Kai**
Hey, Kukuru...
**[03:28] Kukuru**
Fuuka.
**[03:30] Fuuka**
What's up?
**[03:31] Kukuru**
Let's go to Kamee on our way home.
**[03:33] Fuuka**
Sure, but is there a reason?
**[03:36] Kukuru**
We're going to have Udon-chan's mom
divine a way to attract visitors.
**[03:41] Fuuka**
Fortune telling?
**[03:42] Kukuru**
You said it yourself.
**[03:44] Kukuru**
She's really accurate.
**[03:45] Fuuka**
I did, but...
**[03:47] Kukuru**
She might have a good idea.
**[03:50] Kukuru**
Let's do our best, Fuuka!
**[03:54] Fuuka**
Yeah.
**[03:55] Kukuru**
Thanks!
**[03:56] Kukuru**
See you later.
**[04:01] (Flashback) Fuuka**
Ruka-chan?
**[04:03] Ruka**
*There's something
I really want to tell you.*
**[04:06] (Flashback) Ruka**
The director who worked on our music video
before is now working on a movie.
**[04:12] (Flashback) Ruka**
They're asking for you to star in it.
**[04:17] Ruka**
* They said the part suits you,*
* so they really want you.*
**[04:21] (Flashback) Fuuka**
But I'm already...
**[04:24] Ruka**
* Apparently, the agency wouldn't tell them*
* how to get in touch with you.*
**[04:28] Ruka**
*So they asked me.*
**[04:30] (Flashback) Ruka**
They're an up-and-coming young director!
**[04:33] (Flashback) Ruka**
I'm certain you'll make an impression!
**[04:35] Ruka**
*Senpai, couldn't you please come back?*
**[04:41] (Flashback) Fuuka**
Could I get some time?
**[04:44] Ruka**
*Yes.*
**[04:45] Ruka**
*They need to schedule filming, so they
want a reply by the end of summer break.*
**[04:53] A**
Did you do your summer homework?
**[04:55] B**
No.
**[04:56] A**
You haven't, either?
**[04:58] B**
Seriously, we're screwed.
**[05:00] B**
Summer break is almost over.
**[05:15] Kai**
I finished closing the front entrance.
**[05:17] Kukuru**
Thanks.
**[05:22] Kai**
Hey—
**[05:23] Fuuka**
I'm done, Kukuru.
**[05:25] Kukuru**
Okay, let's go.
**[05:27] Kukuru**
Oh, Umi-yan, sorry...
Could you handle the rest?
**[05:30] Umi**
Sure, good work.
**[05:34] Grams**
Kukuru and Fuuka-chan said
they're going to Kamee.
**[05:38] Grams**
They want us to go ahead with dinner.
**[05:40] Gramps**
Really?
**[05:51] Kukuru**
Well?
**[05:52] Mom**
Now's a time of ambivalence.
**[05:55] Fuuka**
That's what she said to me, too.
**[05:57] Mom**
Rush into new things, and they'll
all work against you, and you'll fail.
**[06:04] Kukuru**
Come on!
**[06:05] Kukuru**
Can't you do something? Please?
**[06:08] Mom**
I don't know what you want me to do.
**[06:11] Mom**
What can you do right now?
**[06:15] Mom**
You might find some new paths if you re-examine
what you're already used to seeing.
**[06:23] (Flashback) A**
Something weird happened, though.
**[06:26] (Flashback) B**
That was really nostalgic!
**[06:28] (Flashback) B**
I saw the dog I used to have.
**[06:30] (Flashback) B**
Here.
**[06:31] (Flashback) C**
And I saw my dead brother.
**[06:34] (Flashback) Fuuka**
What did I just see?
**[06:40] Kukuru**
Fuuka, you saw it too, didn't you?
**[06:44] Kukuru**
The illusion in the aquarium.
**[06:46] Karin**
Illusion?
**[06:47] Udon**
What's this?
What are you talking about?
**[06:49] Kukuru**
Strange things show up
in our aquarium sometimes.
**[06:53] Udon**
Say what?
**[06:55] Udon**
Is it haunted or something?
**[06:56] Kukuru**
They aren't ghosts.
**[06:58] Kukuru**
Illusions.
**[06:59] Kukuru**
It's nothing scary.
**[07:01] Udon**
Have you seen it, Kukuru?
**[07:03] Kukuru**
Yeah.
**[07:04] Udon**
Huh?
**[07:04] Udon**
What's it like?
**[07:06] Kukuru**
Well...
**[07:09] Kukuru**
It makes you feel really gentle, I think.
**[07:13] Kukuru**
It gives you courage.
**[07:15] Fuuka**
It was like that for me, too.
**[07:16] Udon**
You've seen it, too, huh?
**[07:19] Fuuka**
Yeah.
**[07:20] Fuuka**
When I first came to Gama Gama.
**[07:21] Udon**
Oh, really?
**[07:24] Udon**
Sounds like it's a power spot, huh?
**[07:26] Udon**
Like it gives you healing.
**[07:28] Kukuru**
A healing power spot, huh?
**[07:33] Kukuru**
It's not just us, either.
**[07:35] Kukuru**
Some kids who come visit a lot,
and old ladies have seen things, too.
**[07:40] Kukuru**
See? Here.

**[07:42] Kukuru**
It's not just the regulars
who've seen things.
**[07:45] Udon**
You might go viral if you share it
on your official Penstagram!
**[07:49] Kukuru**
Penstagram, huh?
**[07:51] Kukuru**
That might work.
**[07:52] Kukuru**
I think it'll draw a lot of customers
if word gets around.
**[07:56] Kukuru**
Karin-chan, do you think you could advertise it
through the tourism agency?
**[08:00] Karin**
But I've never seen this... illusion?
**[08:04] Karin**
Have you, Udon-chan?
**[08:06] Udon**
I haven't.
**[08:08] Karin**
How do we see it?
**[08:10] Karin**
It seems to show up to people
who are troubled or suffering.
**[08:16] Udon**
Does that mean Karin-chan and I
have nothing troubling us?
**[08:20] Karin**
Sure I do.
**[08:23] Karin**
I get it, Kukuru.
**[08:26] Karin**
But we can't advertise
something so uncertain.
**[08:29] Udon**
Aw...
**[08:31] Udon**
Is there anything we can do?
**[08:38] Sister**
Onii-chan, it's time to eat.
**[08:45] Sister**
Look at you, going crazy
trying to help Kukuru.
**[08:47] Karin**
What?
**[08:49] Sister**
What do you like about her so much?
**[08:51] Sister**
Fuuka-chan's so much cuter.
**[08:53] Sister**
You should go out with her.
**[08:55] Kai**
What are you even saying?
**[08:56] Kai**
Besides, Miyazawa-san is going back
to Iwate after summer break.
**[09:02] Sister**
I didn't know that.
**[09:04] Sister**
That sucks.
**[09:11] Kukuru**
Hey, let's go see the illusion tomorrow.
**[09:14] Fuuka**
Yeah.
**[09:16] Kukuru**
We have to try to figure out
how we can see it.
**[09:18] Kukuru**
If we can make sure people can see it,
I'm sure Karin-chan will help, too.
**[09:24] Fuuka**
Yeah.
**[09:26] Kukuru**
Fuuka, are you listening?
**[09:29] Fuuka**
Sorry.
**[09:30] Kukuru**
What up?
**[09:31] Kukuru**
Is something wrong?
**[09:33] Fuuka**
Actually...
**[09:35] Fuuka**
One of my juniors called me
to say there's a director who wants me
**[09:39] ---**
to play the lead role in a movie.
**[09:43] Kukuru**
I thought you were done with idol work.
**[09:46] Fuuka**
I was.
**[09:48] Fuuka**
But he asked for me specifically,
even though I wasn't even the center.
**[09:52] Fuuka**
My junior went out of her way
to contact me.
**[09:56] Kukuru**
So are you going back to being an idol?
**[10:03] Kukuru**
I see.
**[10:08] Kukuru**
Thanks for the meal.
**[10:13] Fuuka**
Kukuru!
**[10:14] Kukuru**
I'm going to go take a bath.

It's not like the two of us
are in a relationship yet.
**[11:58] Rui**
I'll do my best, so I can
become a proper boyfriend!
**[12:01] Maho**
Sure you will.
**[12:04] Maho**
Hey, are you going back to Iwate
after summer break, Fuuka-chan?
**[12:09] Rui**
Are you?
**[12:10] Fuuka**
Um...
**[12:12] Maho**
I wish you would stay forever.
**[12:14] Maho**
Right?
**[12:15] Rui**
Yeah.
**[12:17] Maho**
It's Kukuru!
**[12:18] Maho**
Bye, Fuuka-chan!
**[12:20] Rui**
Excuse us!
**[12:38] Kukuru**
We need to experiment,
so we can make the illusions work for sure.
**[12:43] Kukuru**
Who can I ask to help...
**[12:49] Kukuru**
Udon-chan.
**[12:50] Kukuru**
I don't think she's got
anything troubling her.
**[12:53] Kukuru**
Karin-chan.
**[12:54] Kukuru**
She doesn't seem too enthusiastic
about this idea.
**[12:57] Kukuru**
Umi-yan...
**[12:59] Kukuru**
He's carrying a bomb on his back.
**[13:00] Kukuru**
I don't want to make him help.
**[13:03] Kukuru**
Kuuya-san...
**[13:04] Kukuru**
He's never going to help.
**[13:19] Kukuru**
I know!
**[13:20] Kukuru**
I have Kai!
**[13:27] Gramps**
Hello! This is Gama Gama Aquarium.
**[13:30] A**
*Hey, I saw your Penstagram.*
**[13:32] Gramps**
Sorry?
**[13:33] A**
* When are you doing*
* your miracle-witnessing event?*
**[13:36] Gramps**
Eh?
**[13:37] A**
*It said you'd explain the details later.*
**[13:40] A**
*I couldn't want to learn more.*
**[13:52] Kukuru**
Fuuka.
**[13:53] Kukuru**
I still have things to do.
**[13:55] Kukuru**
You can go home first.
**[13:56] Fuuka**
I'll help.
**[13:57] Kukuru**
Nah, it's okay.
**[13:59] Kukuru**
Sorry.
**[14:06] Kukuru**
Okay, Kai.
**[14:07] Kukuru**
Please and thank you.
**[14:09] Kai**
How do I see this "illusion"?
**[14:12] Kai**
Is there, like, a chant that's been
carried down the generations?
**[14:15] Kukuru**
There's nothing like that.
**[14:16] Kukuru**
I want to start exploring
how we can see it.
**[14:20] Kai**
All right.
**[14:21] Kai**
You've seen it before?
**[14:23] Kukuru**
I have.
**[14:24] Kai**
What's it like?
**[14:27] Kukuru**
It's hard to explain in words.
**[14:31] Kai**
I'll do what I can.
**[14:39] Kukuru**
I don't think you need
to pose like that.
**[14:41] Kai**
Oh, really?
**[14:57] Kai**
So, what kind of illusion
am I looking for?
**[15:00] Kukuru**
That seems to depend on the person.
**[15:03] Kukuru**
You see an illusion
that can help you deal
**[15:05] ---**
with something troubling you
or causing you grief.
**[15:09] Kukuru**
Maybe.
**[15:10] Kai**
Troubles?
**[15:12] Kukuru**
Isn't there anything
on your mind right now, Kai?
**[15:14] Kai**
Not really.
**[15:16] Kukuru**
You're blissful, aren't you?
**[15:19] Kukuru**
Okay, if not now,
how about in the past? Anything?
**[15:22] Kai**
In the past?
**[15:23] Kukuru**
Oh, what about that time?
**[15:25] Kukuru**
When Maho-chan got lost,
and you cried like hell.
**[15:29] Kai**
I don't think that counts.
**[15:31] Kukuru**
Then... what about
**[15:33] Kukuru**
how you were troubled by the fact that
**[15:34] ---**
you get seasick, even though
you're the son of a fisher?
**[15:36] Kai**
When are you even talking about?
**[15:37] Kai**
I got over that a long time ago.
**[15:39] Kukuru**
Oh...
**[15:59] Kai**
Sorry I couldn't be useful.
**[16:01] Kukuru**
Nah.
**[16:02] Kukuru**
Sorry to keep you behind
when you have an early morning.
**[16:05] Kukuru**
Bye.
**[16:14] Kukuru**
Fuuka might be leaving soon.
**[16:20] Kai**
Yeah.
**[16:21] Kai**
She did say she's only staying
for the summer.
**[16:24] Kukuru**
I thought maybe if Gama Gama goes on,
Fuuka might stay here, too.
**[16:31] Kukuru**
That was just my own
wishful thinking, of course.
**[16:36] Kukuru**
There are new homes for all the sea life.
**[16:39] Kukuru**
They're all going to be separated.
**[16:49] Kai**
Kukuru...
**[16:51] Kukuru**
Thanks for the help today, Kai.
**[16:59] Kai**
*Her back was shaking again.*
**[17:10] Kukuru**
I'm home.
**[17:11] Gramps**
You're home late.
**[17:13] Kukuru**
Yeah, I had stuff to do.
**[17:14] Grams**
Kukuru, you're going to eat, aren't you?
**[17:17] Kukuru**
I'm good.
**[17:19] Gramps**
Kukuru, come have a seat over here for a bit.
**[17:26] Gramps**
I had an inquiry from a guest.
**[17:30] Gramps**
She asked when the miracle event is happening.
**[17:33] Gramps**
You put that online?
**[17:36] Kukuru**
It'll attract a lot of visitors
if we advertise an event
**[17:40] ---**
where people can see miracles happen.
**[17:42] Gramps**
I'm sure you know, Kukuru...
**[17:45] Gramps**
Some people have seen it, but only a few.
**[17:49] Gramps**
It's not something everyone's seen.
**[17:52] Gramps**
And no one can explain
what's going on, can they?
**[17:58] Gramps**
You don't have to put up an ad like that.
**[18:00] Gramps**
Gama Gama is beautiful enough, isn't it?
**[18:04] Kukuru**
But I don't want Gama Gama to go away!
**[18:15] Grams**
Soon after Kukuru lost her parents
and moved in with us,
**[18:21] ---**
she'd often cry
and say she was going home.
**[18:26] Grams**
She wouldn't listen when we told her
that this was her new home.
**[18:32] Grams**
She gradually opened up
when she started going to Gama Gama.
***SIGN*** gamasui_official

**[18:40] Grams**
That place is like home to her.
**[18:46] Fuuka**
I see...
**[18:49] (Flashback) Kukuru**
I love Gama Gama Aquarium.
**[18:54] (Flashback) Kukuru**
This is my home.
**[18:56] (Flashback) Kukuru**
My special place.
**[18:57] (Flashback) Kukuru**
My dream is to protect it forever.
**[19:06] Fuuka**
* Kukuru's desperately trying*
* to protect her dream.*
**[19:10] Fuuka**
*What am I doing?*
**[19:13] Fuuka**
*What have I been doing until now?*
**[19:17] Fuuka**
* I moved to Tokyo,*
* because I wanted to become an idol.*
**[19:20] Fuuka**
* I even reached my dream*
* of becoming an idol.*
**[19:23] Fuuka**
* But that dream ended,*
* I came here, and I met Kukuru.*
**[19:32] Fuuka**
*I've been given lots in life, haven't I?*
**[19:50] Fuuka**
*What am I supposed to do going forward?*
**[20:27] (Flashback) Kukuru**
I'm going home!
**[20:30] (Flashback) Kukuru**
I'm going back to Mommy and Daddy's!
**[20:35] (Flashback) Grams**
Your home is here.
**[20:41] Kai**
Go!
**[21:07] Kai**
Huh?
**[21:11] Kukuru**
Did you just see something?
**[21:25] Kukuru**
Oh.
**[21:28] Kukuru**
I guess drawing in visitors
with illusions isn't going to work.
**[21:35] Kai**
Kukuru.
**[21:37] Kai**
Come!
**[21:46] Kukuru**
Thanks, Kai!
**[21:49] Kai**
What, is that all you've got?
**[21:53] Kukuru**
Not yet.
***SIGN*** Notice
***SIGN*** Due to personal circumstances, the "miracle-witnessing event" has been canceled.
***SIGN*** We apologize for the disappointment that we've caused for our enthusiastic guests.
***SIGN*** We hope to see you at Gama Gama Aquarium soon.

**[00:06] Kukuru**
Do what's right,
and everything will work out.
**[00:42] (Flashback) Kukuru**
You're closing Gama Gama?
**[00:44] (Flashback) Kukuru**
Why?
**[00:46] (Flashback) Gramps**
That's the promise I made
to the friend who built the aquarium.
**[00:50] (Flashback) Gramps**
That I would close it
if it got too old to sustain.
**[00:54] (Flashback) Kukuru**
Still, it's too soon!
**[00:56] (Flashback) Gramps**
It's better for the marine life, too.
***SIGN*** No Closing!
**[01:19] Fuuka**
Kukuru...
***SIGN*** No Closing!
**[02:58] Umi**
I tried both the service entrance
and the feed room.
**[03:02] Kuuya**
The entrance is no good, either.
**[03:04] Umi**
She blocked all the entrances.
**[03:06] Umi**
Amazing.
**[03:07] Kuuya**
Is this really the time to be amazed?
**[03:09] Kuuya**
She's locking herself in because
she's unhappy. What is she, a kid?
**[03:12] Umi**
I understand how Kukuru-chan feels, though.
**[03:16] Kai**
Kukuru, are you there?
**[03:18] Kai**
Answer me if you're there!
**[03:29] Gramps**
Well, what can we do?
**[03:31] Gramps**
Why don't we take the day off?
**[03:33] Gramps**
The typhoon's coming, too.
**[03:35] Gramps**
I don't think we'll have any guests.
**[03:37] Kai**
But...
**[03:38] Gramps**
Kai-kun, is the boat back at shore yet?
**[03:41] Kai**
I don't think so.
**[03:44] Gramps**
Fishers have it rough.
**[03:46] Gramps**
Take care of your family today.
**[03:51] Umi**
Day off, huh?
**[03:53] Kuuya**
Nice.
**[03:54] Kuuya**
Guess I'll clean my room.
**[04:17] Kukuru**
Food?
**[04:18] Kukuru**
Just a second. I'll be done in a second.
**[04:23] Kukuru**
Okay, okay!
***SIGN*** Just this once.
***SIGN*** Typhoon 13
***SIGN*** Landing on Okinawa Island Tonight
**[04:31] A**
* A large and powerful storm,*
* Typhoon 13 is approaching Okinawa Island.*
**[04:37] Gramps**
Thanks.
**[04:39] Gramps**
It looks like it's headed here by nightfall.
**[04:42] Fuuka**
I wonder if she'll be home by then.
**[04:45] Gramps**
I suppose she'll be staying the night.
**[04:48] Gramps**
She has to care for the animals, too.
**[04:53] Granmda**
Lunch is ready.
**[04:55] Granmda**
Let's eat up.
**[05:04] Fuuka**
*I hope Kukuru isn't hungry and alone.*
**[05:12] Fuuka**
*All alone.*
**[05:17] Fuuka**
I—
**[05:19] Granmda**
Here, lunch boxes.
**[05:47] Kukuru**
Eat up.
**[05:57] Kukuru**
You all look well.
**[06:06] Kukuru**
What's wrong?
**[06:07] Kukuru**
You aren't as ravenous.
**[06:09] Kukuru**
Maybe I'll switch up the food.
**[06:11] Kukuru**
I'll make some more.
**[06:18] Fuuka**
Kukuru, are you there?
Open up!
**[06:20] Kukuru**
Fuuka?!
**[06:21] Fuuka**
Please! Let me in!
**[06:23] Kukuru**
I won't!
**[06:24] Fuuka**
Kukuru!
**[06:25] Kukuru**
Why did you come here?
**[06:27] Kukuru**
Are you here to tell me
to stop being silly?
**[06:29] Fuuka**
No!
**[06:30] Kukuru**
To convince me to come out?
**[06:32] Fuuka**
No!
**[06:32] Kukuru**
To take me home, then?
**[06:34] Fuuka**
No!
**[06:35] Fuuka**
I...
**[06:36] Fuuka**
I'm holing up with you!
**[06:39] Kukuru**
What?
**[06:54] Kukuru**
What do you even mean
that you're holing up with me?
**[06:56] Fuuka**
It means exactly what it means.
**[06:58] Fuuka**
I'm going to stay here with you.
**[07:01] Kukuru**
Why?
**[07:02] Kukuru**
I never asked—
**[07:05] Fuuka**
From Grams.
**[07:07] Fuuka**
You must be hungry.
**[07:15] Fuuka**
How much work have you gotten done?
**[07:17] Fuuka**
Are you done feeding?
**[07:18] Kukuru**
I'm doing it now.
**[07:20] Fuuka**
How about cleaning the prep table
and sanitizing the knives?
**[07:23] Kukuru**
Not yet!
**[07:24] Kukuru**
I can do it myself!
**[07:26] Fuuka**
Let me help.
**[07:28] Kukuru**
I never asked!
**[07:50] Fuuka**
Kukuru, I'm done cleaning.
**[07:55] ---**
What?
**[07:56] Fuuka**
I'm done.
**[07:57] ---**
What's next?
**[07:58] Kukuru**
You can go home already!
**[07:59] Fuuka**
I'll calibrate the pH meter then.
***SIGN*** Kamee Diner
**[08:10] Udon**
Oh, man!
**[08:11] Udon**
This one's going to be big!
**[08:15] Karin**
I'm sorry. The tour will be canceled.
**[08:20] Karin**
We're asking that clients
switch to another day or accept a refund.
**[08:54] Kukuru**
I'll call a taxi right now.
**[08:56] Kukuru**
Hurry up and get ready.
**[08:57] Fuuka**
What about you?
**[08:58] Kukuru**
I'm staying.
**[09:01] Fuuka**
Then I'm staying, too.
**[09:03] Kukuru**
No!
**[09:03] Kukuru**
Go home, Fuuka!
**[09:06] Fuuka**
I can't go home in this typhoon anymore!
**[09:09] Kukuru**
This is something I'm doing myself.
**[09:11] Kukuru**
It's not your business.
**[09:14] Fuuka**
That's not...
**[09:22] Fuuka**
It's your dream.
**[09:26] Fuuka**
Protecting Gama Gama is your dream.
**[09:31] Fuuka**
You asked me to help you with your dream.
**[09:35] Fuuka**
I want to be helpful to you.
**[09:38] Fuuka**
I want to be by you.
**[09:41] Kukuru**
You'd just given up your dream back then.
**[09:46] Kukuru**
But not now.
**[09:47] Kukuru**
You're going to be in a movie.
**[09:49] Kukuru**
You're going back to
being an idol, aren't you?
**[09:51] Fuuka**
Not yet.
**[09:53] Kukuru**
Just think about yourself, Fuuka.
**[09:56] Kukuru**
You don't need to help
with my dream anymore.
**[10:01] Kukuru**
I'll see it through by myself.
**[10:13] Fuuka**
No.
**[10:14] Kukuru**
What?
**[10:15] Fuuka**
I'm staying with you!
**[10:16] Kukuru**
I said I'm fine!
**[10:22] Fuuka**
Oh, no...
**[10:24] Fuuka**
An outage?
***SIGN*** At the End of the Siege
**[10:31] Fuuka**
Huh?
**[10:32] Kukuru**
It's the generator.
**[10:33] Kukuru**
It switches on automatically.
**[10:35] Kukuru**
I'll go make sure the tanks
are working properly.
**[10:42] Fuuka**
Me, too.
**[10:51] Fuuka**
Is there no power here?
**[10:54] Kukuru**
The pumps and filters
are working, so it's fine.
**[10:57] Kukuru**
The lights are off at night, anyway.
**[11:00] Kukuru**
The fish have to sleep.
**[11:01] Kukuru**
We don't want their sleep cycles
to get messed up.
**[11:05] Fuuka**
Huh.
**[11:06] Kukuru**
All good.
**[11:14] Fuuka**
The roof's leaking!
**[11:15] Kukuru**
Crap! Bucket!
**[11:27] Kukuru**
We just fixed the roof last year.
**[11:34] Fuuka**
I hope it's all right.
**[11:36] Fuuka**
I never noticed,
but this building's pretty old.
**[11:40] Kukuru**
Gramps said...
**[11:43] Kukuru**
It's gotten too old
to maintain the facility.
**[11:46] Kukuru**
But if it gets old and breaks down,
we can always fix it.
**[11:51] Kukuru**
It'll still last if we take good care of it.
**[11:53] Kukuru**
Gama Gama is home to the sea life.
**[11:57] Kukuru**
They can't lose it.
**[11:59] (Flashback) Kukuru**
I'm going home!
**[12:02] Kukuru**
And for me, too.
**[12:04] Kukuru**
I can feel Mom and Dad here.
**[12:07] Kukuru**
It's special to me.
**[12:10] Kukuru**
I was still small,
so I don't remember much.
**[12:14] Kukuru**
My only memory of my family
is at Gama Gama.
**[12:19] Kukuru**
It can't go away.
**[12:22] Kukuru**
No.
**[12:29] Kukuru**
There.
**[12:31] Kukuru**
There are typhoons in Okinawa every year.
**[12:34] Kukuru**
It's all right.
**[12:35] Kukuru**
We've overcome it every time.
***SIGN*** Outage alerts
***SIGN*** Outages are occurring all over Okinawa.
**[12:46] Fuuka**
Looks like they don't know
when the power's coming back on yet.
**[12:49] Kukuru**
Normally they get it back right away.
**[12:52] Fuuka**
How long do the generators last?
**[12:55] Kukuru**
About seven hours.
**[12:57] Fuuka**
The power went out around ten, right?
**[13:00] Fuuka**
If it doesn't come back, the air pumps
and filters will stop, won't they?
**[13:06] Fuuka**
We won't be able to control
the water temperatures, either.
**[13:09] Fuuka**
If that happens...
**[13:10] Kukuru**
The sea life might not last half an hour.
**[13:15] Fuuka**
I'll contact Gramps!
**[13:16] Kukuru**
No!
**[13:17] Kukuru**
It's too dangerous
to go outside right now.
**[13:23] Kukuru**
We're going to prepare for the worst.
**[13:28] Kukuru**
First, I'm going to get ready to save
**[13:30] ---**
the species that don't adapt well
to changing water conditions.
**[13:32] Kukuru**
Come with me, Fuuka.
**[13:34] Fuuka**
Okay!
**[13:42] Kukuru**
Make lots of bags of ice for cooling.
**[13:46] Fuuka**
Got it.
**[13:47] Kukuru**
I'll go get more tanks.
**[14:23] Fuuka**
Kukuru!
**[14:24] Kukuru**
Give me something to hold it with!
**[14:28] Fuuka**
Kukuru!
**[14:30] ---**
Use this!
**[14:51] Kukuru**
Why?
**[14:55] Fuuka**
We have to move the tanks!
**[15:00] Kukuru**
Why?
**[15:02] Kukuru**
Stop. Please.
**[15:06] Kukuru**
I only want to stay here.
**[15:10] Fuuka**
Kukuru!
**[15:16] Kukuru**
Why can't I stay here?
**[15:20] Kukuru**
Are you taking it away from me?
**[15:24] Kukuru**
Like you did Mom and Dad?
**[15:29] Kukuru**
You're taking what's precious to me?
**[15:32] Kukuru**
I have nothing left!
**[15:35] Kukuru**
This place is all I have!
**[15:36] Kukuru**
If I lose this place, I won't...!
**[15:49] Fuuka**
Kukuru!
**[15:52] Fuuka**
This place isn't all you have!
**[15:55] Fuuka**
It's not the end, even you lose this place!
**[15:58] Fuuka**
Never.
**[16:04] Fuuka**
Even if you lose your dream,
you don't lose the future.
**[16:08] Fuuka**
We have to protect the animals' future.
**[16:13] Kukuru**
Yeah.
**[16:15] Fuuka**
Let's go.
**[16:30] Kukuru**
Hang in there.
**[16:32] Kukuru**
Please. Please...
**[16:35] Umi**
Ack, what is this?
**[16:37] Umi**
Watch your step.
**[16:39] Kuuya**
Seriously?
**[16:40] Kuuya**
Jesus, it's a haunted house.
**[16:43] Kai**
Kukuru!
**[16:44] Kukuru**
Kai.
**[16:45] Kai**
Are you hurt?
**[16:48] Kai**
What about you, Miyazawa-san?
**[16:50] Fuuka**
I'm all right.
**[16:51] Kai**
Thank goodness.
**[16:53] Kai**
Umi-yan gave us a ride
when the winds died down.
**[16:57] Gramps**
The corals and anemones.
**[16:59] Gramps**
Make sure the water temperature
never rises above 25 Celsius.
**[17:03] Umi**
Roger.
**[17:05] Fuuka**
I split up the ice
and put them in the freezer.
**[17:08] Umi**
You're well prepared.
**[17:10] Gramps**
Take care of the moon jellies
and community tanks.
**[17:13] Kuuya**
A'ight.
**[17:14] Gramps**
Kai-kun, get the pipes
ready for repairs.
**[17:17] Kai**
Okay.
**[17:18] Gramps**
The two of you, lid the deep
sea tanks with styrofoam.
**[17:22] Gramps**
If the migrants don't look like
they're getting enough air,
**[17:25] ---**
we'll use battery-powered pumps.
**[17:27] Fuuka**
Okay.
**[17:30] Kukuru**
Gramps, I...
**[18:17] Gramps**
Kukuru.
**[18:20] Kukuru**
Gramps.
**[18:22] Gramps**
Trust in the sea life.
**[18:24] Gramps**
They aren't that weak.
**[18:36] Kai**
The power's back!
**[18:38] Gramps**
Restart the filters
on Tank 12 and Tank 15.
**[18:43] Gramps**
Watch out for air pockets.
**[18:45] Kai**
Okay!
**[18:46] Gramps**
Let's bring the animals back home.
**[19:20] Gramps**
You did well.
**[19:25] Kukuru**
Gramps...
**[19:28] Kukuru**
You were right.
**[19:31] Kukuru**
Gama Gama's at its end.
**[19:34] Kukuru**
We're going to put the animals
in danger here.
**[19:40] Kukuru**
We can't protect it.
**[19:43] Kukuru**
So...
**[19:46] Gramps**
They'll all be separated, but they'll
be just fine in their new aquariums.
**[19:53] Kukuru**
Yeah.
**[19:56] Gramps**
Kukuru.
**[19:58] Gramps**
Good work as acting director all this time.
**[20:03] Gramps**
Thank you for protecting these kids.
**[20:20] Umi**
We're done bringing everything back online.
**[20:21] Kuuya**
I'm exhausted.
**[20:24] Fuuka**
Um...
**[20:25] Fuuka**
We're sorry for everything.
**[20:44] Kukuru**
Sorry, Fuuka.
**[20:48] Kukuru**
I said lots of terrible things to you.
**[20:52] Kukuru**
I couldn't do it by myself.
**[20:55] Kukuru**
If it weren't for you,
I couldn't have protected the marine life.
**[21:00] Kukuru**
Thanks.
**[21:02] Fuuka**
I'm the one who has to thank you.
**[21:05] Fuuka**
I thought I was doing it for you.
**[21:09] Fuuka**
I wanted to be of use to you.
**[21:11] Fuuka**
I wanted to help you.
**[21:14] Fuuka**
But that wasn't true.
**[21:17] Fuuka**
It was all for myself.
**[21:20] Fuuka**
I never noticed that, by letting
me help you, you gave me strength.
**[21:27] Fuuka**
I don't think I hate working hard
for someone else.
**[21:38] Kukuru**
We did everything we could, didn't we?
**[21:44] Kukuru**
It's closing... isn't it?

Do what's right,
and everything will work out.
**[01:48] Umi**
Here we are.
**[01:50] Kuuya**
It's the last day.
**[01:52] Gramps**
We just need to do
what we always do.
***SIGN*** Last Day
***SIGN*** Free Entry
***SIGN*** Gama Gama Aquarium
**[02:00] Fuuka**
All these people...
**[02:01] Kukuru**
I'm glad they came,
but they could have come earlier.
**[02:05] Kukuru**
Jeez.
**[02:12] A**
Director!
**[02:13] A**
It's been a while.
**[02:14] Gramps**
You came.
**[02:16] B**
You raised us, Director.
**[02:19] Gramps**
You were more work than the fish.
**[02:23] C**
Long time, Master!
**[02:25] Gramps**
Hey.
**[02:26] Gramps**
I haven't seen you in a while.
**[02:27] D**
We wanted to congratulate you
on your work.
**[02:30] Gramps**
Thanks for coming all this way.
**[02:33] Umi**
Looks like people are here
from aquariums all around.
**[02:38] Kukuru**
Why would they bother?
**[02:40] Umi**
I told you.
**[02:41] Umi**
The director was known
as the legendary aquarium keeper.
**[02:44] Kukuru**
Then I wish they'd have come sooner
and helped Gama Gama.
**[02:48] Umi**
Everyone's busy working with
the creatures at other aquariums.
**[02:53] Umi**
The director wouldn't let them
set their work aside to come see him.
**[02:58] Kukuru**
That's true.
**[02:59] Umi**
But they came from
far away just for today.
**[03:03] Umi**
I'm proud to be part of Gama Gama, too.
**[03:08] Kukuru**
That's true.
**[03:13] Udon**
Hey.
**[03:14] Fuuka**
Welcome.
**[03:15] ---**
We came to visit.
**[03:17] Karin**
Is this a message area?
**[03:19] Fuuka**
Yeah.
**[03:20] Fuuka**
I thought I'd get people
to write their goodbyes to Gama Gama.
**[03:23] Udon**
I want to write one, too!
**[03:25] Karin**
Oh, yeah, I have a message
from Airi-chan in the hospital, too.
***SIGN*** I love Gama Gama!
Airi
**[03:35] Karin**
May I put it up with the others?
**[03:37] Fuuka**
Of course!
***SIGN*** I had my first date with my husband at this aquarium. Thank you for being open all these years.
**[03:48] Maho**
Fuuka-chan!
**[03:50] Fuuka**
Maho-chan!
**[03:55] ---**
Since this is the last time,
may I request something?
**[03:58] ---**
You gonna quiz me again?
**[04:01] Rui**
Can we get a picture together please?
**[04:13] Rui**
I won't forget Gama Gama!
**[04:20] Gramps**
Kukuru, this is Hoshino-san,
the director from Aquarium Tingarla.
**[04:26] Kukuru**
Oh, hi.
**[04:27] Hoshino**
Kukuru-san!
**[04:28] Hoshino**
Nice to meet you.
**[04:30] Hoshino**
You're still a student, and you managed
to serve as acting director, huh?
**[04:32] Hoshino**
I'm amazed.
**[04:34] Hoshino**
You have management talent.
**[04:36] Kukuru**
No, I kept messing up.
**[04:40] Gramps**
Tingarla is going to be looking
after a lot of our critters.
**[04:47] Gramps**
Including you, Kukuru.
**[04:50] Gramps**
They say they'd love to have you,
if you'd like.
**[04:56] Hoshino**
We're more than happy to welcome anyone
who knows a lot about aquariums.
**[05:02] Kukuru**
Wait...
**[05:03] Gramps**
You haven't decided what you're going to do
after school, have you?
**[05:05] Kukuru**
H-Hold on!
**[05:06] Kukuru**
This is too soon.
**[05:09] Hoshino**
Did we surprise you?
**[05:11] Hoshino**
You don't need to hurry to answer.
**[05:13] Hoshino**
Give it plenty of thought.
**[05:17] Kukuru**
Okay.
**[05:24] A**
Thank you.
**[05:27] A**
Thank you.
**[05:28] Umi**
Take care!
**[05:50] Umi**
It's over, huh?
**[05:53] Kuuya**
Thanks, everyone.
**[05:55] Gramps**
We'll have a little party later.
**[05:58] Gramps**
We can clean up tomorrow.
**[06:02] Kuuya**
Okay.
**[06:06] Umi**
Good work.
**[06:07] Umi**
Cheers!
**[06:12] Udon**
Well, eat up!
**[06:14] Kukuru**
Thanks, Udon-chan!
**[06:16] Udon**
You two worked so hard.
**[06:18] Udon**
Good job!
**[06:19] Kukuru**
To be honest,
I didn't do good enough.
**[06:23] Kukuru**
Sorry for getting you all involved.
**[06:25] Karin**
Oh, stop it.
**[06:26] Karin**
Just drink.
**[06:30] Kuuya**
Why are you the one
drinking so much?
**[06:32] Karin**
Shut your yakking, Yakamashi.
**[06:35] Kukuru**
Thanks for helping so much, everyone.
**[06:38] Kukuru**
You, too, Kai. Thanks.
**[06:40] Kai**
It's fine. I had fun.
**[06:42] Kai**
Also, Kukuru,
what are you going to do now?
**[06:46] Kai**
Umi-yan and Kuuya-san are going
to Tingarla, aren't they?
**[06:49] Kukuru**
Oh, yeah.
**[06:51] Kukuru**
Actually, they asked me if I want to come
after I graduate from high school.
**[06:55] Fuuka**
To Tingarla?
**[06:57] Udon**
Huh.
**[06:59] Karin**
You have a job lined up, then!
**[07:01] Kukuru**
I'd never even thought about it.
**[07:03] Kukuru**
I don't know yet.
**[07:06] Udon**
It sounds good to me.
**[07:09] Karin**
She's right.
**[07:10] Karin**
You'd be wasting a career
opportunity, Kukuru.
**[07:13] Kukuru**
Yeah.
**[07:17] Karin**
I'm just going to say it:
**[07:19] Karin**
I want to quit my job
and work at Tingarla!
**[07:23] Udon**
Wait, what?
What are you talking about?
**[07:25] Karin**
I don't know if I'll
be accepted yet, though.
**[07:28] Karin**
Remember I told you that I wanted
to work at an aquarium when I was a kid?
**[07:32] ---**
Yeah.
**[07:33] Karin**
I remembered how much I loved it,
when I helped with the traveling aquarium.
**[07:38] Karin**
I saw how you didn't give up, and you gave
me the confidence to give it a shot, Kukuru.
**[07:44] Karin**
Thank you!
**[07:45] Kukuru**
I can't breathe, Karin-chan!
**[07:47] Udon**
Does that mean you might
be working together with Kukuru?
**[07:51] Udon**
Lucky.
**[07:53] Udon**
Maybe I'll find work around there, too.
**[07:55] Kai**
What about Kamee?
**[07:57] Udon**
I want to try studying
cooking properly sometime.
**[08:02] Udon**
It'll be lonely if you all go.
**[08:05] Udon**
When are you leaving, Fuuka-chan?
**[08:07] Fuuka**
I'm planning to get on
the plane tomorrow.
**[08:10] Fuuka**
School starts right after.
**[08:12] Udon**
The month went by so quickly!
**[08:15] Karin**
I'm going to miss you!
**[08:19] Umi**
Finally, let's have a word
from the director.
**[08:27] Kuuya**
Here.
**[08:34] Gramps**
Good work, everyone.
**[08:36] Gramps**
I feel very fortunate to have had
so many people stay until the very end.
**[08:41] Gramps**
I enjoy seeing kids come to Gama Gama.
**[08:45] Gramps**
When they're looking at the sea creatures,
their eyes light up.
**[08:50] Gramps**
Some children are changed just a little bit,
starting the next day.
**[08:53] Gramps**
They might finish their whole plate of fish,
**[08:55] ---**
or they might take some litter home
from the beach.
**[08:58] Gramps**
When you come to love living things,
you become a kinder person.
**[09:02] Gramps**
I want everyone
to continue loving living things,
**[09:06] ---**
and I want any of you
who work at an aquarium
**[09:08] ---**
to continue being the kindest people of all.
**[09:11] Gramps**
Gama Gama may be closing,
but you aren't done yet.
**[09:16] Gramps**
I'll read my favorite poem
for those of you who are leaving.
**[09:23] Gramps**
"Endless Oceans," by Kudo Naoko-san.
**[09:27] Gramps**
"The briny ocean born of the human spirit
is endless, always overflowing..."
**[09:40] Kukuru**
Hey, Fuuka...
**[09:43] Kukuru**
Can I say something
that isn't really my business?
**[09:45] Fuuka**
Sure.
**[09:46] Kukuru**
Why don't you go ahead
with that movie?
**[09:50] Kukuru**
If you still have a chance
to go after your dream,
**[09:52] ---**
you should fight for it until the end.
**[09:56] Fuuka**
What about you?
**[09:58] Fuuka**
Are you still not sure about Tingarla?
**[10:01] Kukuru**
We don't need to talk about me.
**[10:04] Fuuka**
Yes, we do!
**[10:05] Fuuka**
You haven't smiled at all
since the typhoon.
**[10:10] Kukuru**
I have!
**[10:11] Kukuru**
See?
**[10:13] Fuuka**
It's too dark to see.
**[10:19] Kukuru**
This is my request of a lifetime.
**[10:21] Kukuru**
Please go after your dream again, Fuuka.
**[10:23] Kukuru**
For my sake, too.
**[10:25] Fuuka**
For your sake?
**[10:26] Kukuru**
Yeah.
**[10:27] Kukuru**
My dream's finished,
but I think if I see you striving for yours,
**[10:32] ---**
I can stay strong, too.
**[10:36] Kukuru**
I'm going to support your dream this time.
**[10:41] Fuuka**
*If that'll make you smile.*
**[10:50] Fuuka**
I have a flight to Tokyo
booked for tomorrow.
**[10:53] Fuuka**
I'll go accept the movie deal.
***SIGN*** Our Oceans are Endless
**[11:00] Kukuru**
Do what's right,
and everything will work out.
**[11:06] Kukuru**
I'll be home in time
for when you leave.
**[11:08] Fuuka**
Okay.
***SIGN*** Gama Gama Aquarium is closing
***SIGN*** Thank you for 48 years of patronage
**[11:24] Umi**
There we go.
**[11:28] Kai**
What are we doing with these fish?
**[11:31] Kuuya**
Some of them will be going
to the aquariums that wanted them.
**[11:36] Umi**
Most of the rest will
be going to Tingarla.
**[11:40] Umi**
The director said he would take care
of them until they move.
**[11:43] Kuuya**
Help me carry these.
**[11:44] Kai**
Okay.
**[11:49] Kai**
How do you get hired
as an employee at an aquarium?
**[11:52] Kuuya**
Dunno.
**[11:54] Kuuya**
I guess it depends.
**[11:55] Kuuya**
It's probably easier
if you have work experience.
**[11:58] Kuuya**
Why?
**[11:59] Kai**
No, just wondering.
**[12:01] Kukuru**
Hang on!
**[12:02] Kukuru**
Let me check off the list.
**[12:13] Grams**
You can leave behind anything
you don't need.
**[12:15] Grams**
Those boots are going to be a pain
to carry, aren't they?
**[12:19] Fuuka**
Nah, I'll take them home.
**[12:26] Fuuka**
Thank you for letting me stay
for such a long time.
**[12:30] Grams**
Not at all.
**[12:32] Grams**
Meet once, and we're siblings, right?
**[12:34] Grams**
I'm glad you came, too.
**[12:36] Grams**
I bet this is what it would have
been like if Kukuru had siblings.
**[12:41] Fuuka**
Kukuru said the same thing.
**[12:44] Fuuka**
She says she imagines
having an older sister.
**[12:51] Kukuru**
Lunch time, Choko.
**[12:57] Kukuru**
Sorry!
**[12:58] Kukuru**
Hold still.
**[13:01] Gramps**
Thanks for taking them.
**[13:04] Umi**
See you later.
**[13:09] Gramps**
Sad, isn't it?
**[13:12] Kukuru**
Yeah.
***SIGN*** Sold out!
***SIGN*** Goodbye, Gama Gama
***SIGN*** Thank you, Gama Gama!!
***SIGN*** The sea snakes were awesome
***SIGN*** Thank you for letting me see the fish Nakamura Hiyori
***SIGN*** Gama Gama forever!!
***SIGN*** To everyone at Gama Gama Aquarium Thank you for the past 48 years. I've come many times to treat the animals. The kids here are always so full of life. I could tell they were taken really good care of. Gama Gama is a special place to me. The miracle I saw that day will stay with me forever. I'm sad to see it go, but I'm determined to take what I learned here and continue working with animals going forward. I hope to work with all of you somewhere, someday. Thank you very much. Takeshita

Thank you, too.
**[13:56] Kukuru**
* I never knew it's so lonely*
* without the animals.*
**[14:33] Kukuru**
What time should we leave?
**[14:34] Fuuka**
We should get going.
**[14:36] Fuuka**
Sorry, I know you're busy.
**[14:38] Kukuru**
Nah, it's just cleanup that's left.
**[14:40] Kukuru**
I can't stand to watch
Gama Gama get hollowed out.
**[14:44] Kukuru**
Thanks for giving me a
reason to go outside.
**[14:47] Fuuka**
Really?
**[14:48] Kukuru**
Yeah.
**[14:49] Kukuru**
Also, I saw a weird illusion.
**[14:52] Kukuru**
It was my doppelgänger!
**[14:54] Grams**
Say what?
**[14:55] Kukuru**
My lookalike.
**[14:57] Kukuru**
She was like my twin.
**[14:58] Kukuru**
She seemed kind of nice, though.
**[15:01] Kukuru**
She was smiling.
**[15:03] Grams**
That might be your big sister, Kukuru.
**[15:09] Grams**
Maybe she came to see you just once
before Gama Gama goes away.
**[15:15] Kukuru**
What are you talking about?
**[15:25] Grams**
We were going to tell you
once you grew up.
***SIGN*** Maternity Handbook

**[15:30] Grams**
You had a twin sister, Kukuru.
**[15:35] Grams**
But you were the only one born.
**[15:40] Grams**
We don't know why.
**[15:43] Grams**
But having twin girls is hard.
**[15:47] Grams**
You must know from your time
at Gama Gama.
**[15:50] Grams**
Life is difficult.
**[15:53] Grams**
That's why living things are precious.
**[15:57] Grams**
She must have been watching over
Gama Gama all this time, too.
**[16:15] Kukuru**
The illusion I saw today...
**[16:17] Kukuru**
It wasn't the first time.
**[16:23] Kukuru**
I wonder if she was there
all this time.
**[16:27] Kukuru**
I wonder if I'm not going
to see her once Gama Gama's gone.
**[16:43] Fuuka**
Kukuru.
**[16:45] Fuuka**
I need to get going.
**[16:47] Kukuru**
Oh, right.
**[16:49] Fuuka**
Are you all right?
**[16:50] Kukuru**
Sorry for worrying you.
**[16:52] Fuuka**
Don't say that.
**[16:54] Kukuru**
I'm so bad.
**[16:55] Kukuru**
You're about to set out for your dream.
**[17:01] Kukuru**
Off you go.
**[17:03] Fuuka**
Yeah. I'll be going.
**[17:06] Fuuka**
Thanks for everything, Kukuru.
**[17:09] Kukuru**
Make your dream happen, Fuuka.
**[17:35] Fuuka**
*I know what happens.*

You're more important to me right now.

You gave me so much strength

I can finally smile now.

So I can't leave you when you're crying!

I booked a flight and a night bus.
**[19:32] Fuuka**
I'll have to make a connection,
but I'll make it home by morning.
**[19:34] Kukuru**
Iwate's far, huh?
**[19:36] Fuuka**
It's close.
**[19:38] Fuuka**
I'll be back to see you soon.
**[19:40] Kukuru**
What about your movie?
**[19:43] Fuuka**
I'm relieved, now that I finally know
how I really feel.
**[19:48] Fuuka**
My dream had ended when I came here.
**[19:53] Kukuru**
Oh.
**[19:55] Fuuka**
Kukuru, will you cheer me on
when I find a new dream?
**[20:00] Kukuru**
Of course.
**[20:02] Kukuru**
I think I'll go to Tingarla.
**[20:07] Kukuru**
I asked you to chase after your dream
for my sake again, remember?
**[20:12] Fuuka**
Yeah.
**[20:13] Kukuru**
I wonder if you feel the same way.
**[20:16] Kukuru**
If I stay strong, you can, too.
**[20:19] Kukuru**
If I'm crying,
you'll come back worried.
**[20:23] Fuuka**
Sorry.
**[20:24] Fuuka**
It was an impulsive thing.
**[20:25] Kukuru**
I want you to come back with a smile.
**[20:28] Kukuru**
That means I have to smile first.
**[20:31] Kukuru**
I have a better chance
if I'm at an aquarium, right?
**[20:36] Kukuru**
I'll do my best away from Gama Gama.
**[20:40] Kukuru**
I don't want to forget
that being alive isn't a given.
**[20:44] Kukuru**
I want the people watching me
to be proud of me.
**[20:48] Kukuru**
I'm going to work hard.
**[20:49] Kukuru**
For her sake, too.
***SIGN*** Sorry for the late reply. Thank you for inviting me to work on the movie. Unfortunately, I will have to decline the offer.

Welcome!

*Welcome!*
**[00:33] A**
*Welcome to Tingarla!*
**[00:56] Kuuya**
This is taking forever.
**[00:58] Umi**
There are so many kinds of fish.
That's why.
**[01:12] Kukuru**
You look like you're in the
shichi-go-san festival.
**[01:14] Kai**
Shut up. So do you.
**[01:16] Kukuru**
I'm surprised, though.
**[01:18] Kukuru**
I didn't think you'd work at Tingarla, too.
**[01:22] Kai**
Your gramps introduced me.
**[01:24] Kai**
And the conditions were better
than other places.
**[01:25] Director**
Hello!
**[01:26] Director**
New hires!
**[01:28] Director**
I've been waiting to see you.
**[01:30] Director**
You're going to be members
of Tingarla going forward.
**[01:34] Director**
Work hard.
**[01:36] Director**
I have high hopes for you.
**[01:38] A**
Yes, sir.
**[01:39] Director**
I'm going to hand out your official
appointment forms in order.
**[01:42] Director**
Nakamura Kai-kun.
**[01:44] Kai**
Yes, sir.
**[01:45] Director**
I assign you as an Attendant
in charge of fish.
**[01:48] Director**

Yes, sir.

I assign you to Project PR

Help me, Karin-chan!
**[04:04] Kukuru**
I have no idea what's going on.
**[04:05] Kukuru**
They've got the wrong person!
**[04:07] Kukuru**
I'm not in marketing!
**[04:10] Kukuru**
I'm an attendant!
**[04:11] Kukuru**
That director must have gotten
his Japanese wrong!
**[04:18] Karin**
Here.
**[04:18] Karin**
This is your seat, Kukuru.
**[04:20] Karin**
I'm in marketing, too, working on sales
promotion and product development.
**[04:25] Karin**
I look forward to working with you.
**[04:28] Kukuru**
You're with me, huh?
**[04:30] Karin**
I am, but we're doing different work.
**[04:34] Kukuru**
Tingarla's a big aquarium.
**[04:37] Kukuru**
There's more than one department.
**[04:38] Kukuru**
Broadly speaking, there's the
attendant team, the facilities team,
**[04:42] ---**
and the marketing team that we're in.
**[04:45] Kukuru**
Even though we're both in marketing,
you're on projects and PR, so—
**[04:49] Kukuru**
Crap, I need to get going.
**[04:51] Kukuru**

Nice to meet you.

I'm Maeda Akari.
I work part-time in the office.
**[05:06] Kukuru**
Nice to meet you.
**[05:09] Maeda**
You have such glowing cheeks!
**[05:11] Maeda**
You're so adorable!
**[05:16] Maeda**
Hello.
**[05:18] A**
Hello.
**[05:23] Suwa**
Are you the new hire?
**[05:25] Kukuru**
Misakino Kukuru.
**[05:26] Kukuru**
I look forward to working with you!
**[05:28] Suwa**
Assistant Director Suwa.
**[05:29] Suwa**
Since we just opened,
we have no staff trainers.
**[05:32] Suwa**
I've been assigned to instruct you.
**[05:34] Suwa**
I've asked for backup, but it'll
be just the two of us for a while.
**[05:38] Suwa**
The director told me
we'd be getting experienced, talented people.
**[05:43] Suwa**
It doesn't look that way to me.
**[05:47] Kukuru**
I've been an attendant—
**[05:49] Suwa**
At that aquarium
that's always been in the red?
**[05:51] Suwa**
An aquarium is nothing without its guests.
**[05:54] Suwa**
There's no future for a facility
that can't operate healthily.
**[05:57] Kukuru**
But Gama Gama—
**[05:58] Suwa**
Became dilapidated and closed.
**[06:00] Suwa**
It couldn't even pay for maintenance.
**[06:04] Suwa**
Don't talk all high-and-mighty
about the purpose of an aquarium.
**[06:06] Suwa**
The attendants never shut up
with their platitudes.
**[06:12] Suwa**
Tingarla's fate rests with us,
the marketing team.
**[06:15] Kukuru**
What is this?
***SIGN*** Aquarium Tingarla Operations Manual
**[06:17] Suwa**
Skim through it and get it in your head.
**[06:19] Kukuru**
All of this?!
**[06:21] Suwa**
The four objectives of an aquarium:
species conservation,
**[06:25] ---**
environmental education,
research and investigation, recreation.
**[06:30] Suwa**
You've heard that much, haven't you?
**[06:32] Suwa**
Be mindful of the gap between the crises
that the world recognizes
**[06:35] ---**
and Japan's awareness in your work.
**[06:37] Suwa**
Aim to create a facility that the customers
will want to come back to again and again.
**[06:41] Suwa**
That's the best thing to do for the marine life,
and by extension, for the employees.
**[06:46] Suwa**
I aspire to create the top aquarium
in the world.
**[06:54] Kukuru**
This has to be some kind of mistake!
**[06:56] Kukuru**
Wasn't I hired as an attendant?
**[07:01] Director**
You were the acting director.
**[07:04] Director**
You'll do fine in marketing.
**[07:06] Director**
Try new things!
**[07:08] Kukuru**
I can't!
**[07:22] A**
That's her.
**[07:24] A**
The granddaughter of that legend.
**[07:26] A**
One of the girls who got pulled in
from Gama Gama.
**[07:28] B**
How many of them are there?
They practically have their own faction now.
**[07:32] A**
I heard she got assigned to marketing.
**[07:35] B**
She's not an attendant?
**[07:37] B**
That's a surprise.
**[07:42] Karin**
Kukuru!
**[07:43] Karin**
Kukuru!
**[07:45] Karin**
Are you alive?
**[07:52] Karin**
I've been asked to give
you a tour of the facility.
**[07:55] Karin**
Come with me.
**[08:02] Kukuru**
It's even bigger than
the main tank at Gama Gama.
**[08:05] Karin**
You have to get to know Tingarla
if you're going to settle into work here.
**[08:10] Karin**
Don't just stand there admiring it.
Let's move on.
**[08:52] Karin**
This is the main aquarium.
**[09:06] Kukuru**
It's as if I'm in the ocean.
**[09:10] Karin**
This is the aquatic animals area.
**[09:12] Karin**
Kukuru!
**[09:17] Kukuru**
Wow!
**[09:20] Kukuru**
They're so cute!
**[09:25] Karin**
Jeez, Kukuru.
**[09:27] Karin**
You're enjoying the aquarium
more than anyone else here.
**[09:30] Kukuru**
Sorry, I couldn't help it.
**[09:32] Karin**
It's all right.
**[09:33] Karin**
It's important to remember
the customers' perspective.
**[09:38] Kaoru**
Let's see...
**[09:39] Kaoru**
You're Nakamura Kai-kun, correct?
**[09:41] Kaoru**
You're from Gama Gama, weren't you?
**[09:43] Kai**
Yes.
**[09:45] Kaoru**
And you're Higa Eiji-kun.
**[09:47] Kaoru**
You have a postgraduate degree, huh?
**[09:49] Higa**
Yes, I suppose I do.

**[10:35] Umi**
It's hard getting used to things here, huh?
**[10:37] Kuuya**
I mean, Gama Gama was loosey-goosey.

I guess that's good, too.
**[11:17] Umi**
Have Karin-chan whip you into shape.
**[11:21] Karin**
That's what I hope to do.

I guess it's a huge aquarium.
**[12:44] Karin**
That's how business is.

A lot of people work there.
**[12:49] Karin**
Not everyone gets what they want.

You might get reassigned someday.
**[12:55] Kai**
Don't be so down.
**[12:58] Kukuru**
You're lucky you got the job
you wanted, Kai.
**[13:04] Kai**
Hey, Kukuru...
**[13:06] Kai**
I was never interested
in working at an aquarium.
**[13:09] Kai**
But the longer I worked at yours,
the more I started to like it.
**[13:13] Kai**
Miyazawa-san was never involved
in anything having to do with aquariums before.
**[13:17] Kai**
But she was working hard for us
at Gama Gama, wasn't she?
**[13:21] Kukuru**
Yeah.
**[13:22] Kai**
You might have a change of heart
if you try something new, too.
**[13:27] Udon**
Kai...
**[13:29] Udon**
Look at you, talking like a grown-up.
**[13:31] Kai**
I'm not a student anymore,

There was an email about it last week

Kaoru, did you know about this?
**[14:45] Kaoru**

Looks like no one's heard about it.
**[15:01] Chiyu**
We can't have you telling us this

**[15:04] Kukuru**
But it's not out of nowhere.
**[15:05] Kukuru**
We sent out an email.
**[15:06] Marina**
We just opened.
**[15:08] Marina**
We're too busy getting used to work.
**[15:11] Marina**
Maybe we should put the
events off for a while.
**[15:14] Chiyu**
I agree.
**[15:15] Chiyu**
We can't have any issues arise.
**[15:17] Chiyu**
Could you tell that
to the assistant director, too?
**[15:21] Kukuru**
May I go ahead with
preparations myself, then?
**[15:26] Kukuru**
I know my way around back area work.
**[15:29] Kukuru**
I'll check to make sure the routes are safe
for our guests during off-peak hours.
**[15:35] Chiyu**
But it's happening this afternoon.
**[15:37] Kukuru**
I'll make it happen!
**[15:39] Kukuru**
I'll contact the back area staff, too.
**[15:41] Kukuru**
We'll hold the rehearsal this
afternoon, as scheduled.
**[15:44] Kukuru**
We won't get in anyone's way.
**[15:48] Chiyu**
If you insist.
**[15:50] Chiyu**
It's not my problem.
**[15:51] Kukuru**
Okay!
**[15:51] Kukuru**
Excuse me!
**[16:31] Karin**
Well, Kukuru?
**[16:32] Karin**

I got all the confirmations.
**[16:38] Karin**

Yes, sir.

I've confirmed everything.
**[17:00] Suwa**
Everything?
**[17:01] Kukuru**
Yes.
**[17:02] Kukuru**

so I took over.

I'm pretty familiar with the back area.
**[17:08] Suwa**
And the facilities team?

But the attendant staff hadn't even
checked their emails or anything.
**[17:29] Kukuru**
They seemed annoyed, so I figured
it'd be faster to do it myself.
**[17:33] Suwa**
Get off your high horse!
**[17:34] Suwa**
The rehearsal is canceled.
**[17:36] Suwa**
We'll reschedule.
**[17:37] Kukuru**
Yes, sir.
**[17:38] Suwa**
Don't rely on your past experience.
**[17:41] Suwa**
Your half-assed knowledge
is nothing but a hindrance.
**[17:43] Suwa**
You're just a newbie here.
**[17:46] Suwa**
You're small fry.
**[17:48] Suwa**
You aren't even small fry!
**[17:50] Suwa**
From now on, your nickname is Plankton.
**[17:54] Kukuru**
I'll take Zooplankton,
but not Phytoplankton!
**[17:57] Suwa**
What? Say that again?
**[17:59] Kukuru**
I like animal plankton like krill and stuff,
but plant plankton just drift around! No!
**[18:06] Suwa**
I don't care!
**[18:09] Director**
I don't mind some ice pops at all,
but we did get a complaint.
**[18:14] Umi**
Yes, sir!
**[18:15] Umi**
I'll be careful.
**[18:20] Umi**
Um, Director?
**[18:23] Director**
What is it?
**[18:25] Umi**
Did you choose Misakino-san's assignment?
**[18:29] Director**
Yes, I did.
**[18:30] Director**
I have high hopes for Kukuru-san.
**[18:33] Umi**
High hopes?
**[18:35] Director**
The assistant director is very loving.
**[18:38] Director**
I'm sure Kukuru-san will feel
very much at home.
**[18:42] Umi**
Uh-huh...
**[18:43] Chiyu**
Canceled?
**[18:45] Kukuru**
I'm sorry.
**[18:46] Chiyu**
After all that big talk?
**[18:49] Kukuru**
I'm sorry.
**[18:51] Chiyu**
Oh, yeah. Were you the one who
moved the styrofoam boxes in the hallway?
**[18:56] Kukuru**
Yes.
**[18:57] Kukuru**
It looked like they were going to get
in the way of the behind-the-scenes tour.
**[19:00] Chiyu**
I kept that there to store
specimen bottles and cases.
**[19:05] Chiyu**
It's not your business. Don't touch it.
**[19:08] Kukuru**
I'll bring them back later.
**[19:10] Chiyu**
This isn't the same aquarium
that you were messing around at before.
**[19:14] Chiyu**
Get over your play-working.
**[19:19] Higa**
Are they fighting again?
**[19:21] Kai**
Looks like it.
**[19:23] Higa**
Judging from what I've observed,
**[19:25] ---**
the interpersonal relationships
at this workplace are not good.
**[19:28] Higa**
This is why I hate humans.
**[19:30] Higa**
Fish are great.
**[19:32] Higa**
They don't talk out of turn.
**[19:35] Higa**
By the way, do you fish?
**[19:37] Kai**
Yeah.
**[19:39] Kai**
My parents are fishermen.
**[19:42] Higa**
I think we'll get along great.
**[19:50] Chiyu**
Boss, may I borrow these technical books?
**[19:55] Boss**
Are you going to study them?
Good for you.
**[19:57] Chiyu**
Yes.
**[19:57] Chiyu**
I'll read them at home.
**[19:59] Chiyu**
I have some flexibility
in my shifts, after all.
**[20:02] B**
Don't push yourself too hard.
**[20:04] Chiyu**
I'm fine!
**[20:06] Chiyu**
I've always wanted this job.
**[20:08] Chiyu**
So I want to learn more.
**[20:15] Karin**
Want to go for dinner?
**[20:17] Kukuru**
I'll go home for today.
**[20:18] Kukuru**
I'm tired.
**[20:20] Kukuru**
Bye.
**[20:21] Kukuru**
Good work.
**[20:23] Karin**
Yeah, see you tomorrow.
**[20:38] Kukuru**
I'm so tired.
**[20:42] Kukuru**
Everything is different from Gama Gama.
**[20:47] (Flashback) Suwa**
Get off your high horse!
**[20:47] (Flashback) Suwa**
Your half-assed knowledge
is nothing but a hindrance.
**[20:49] (Flashback) Suwa**
Get over your play-working.
**[20:56] Kukuru**
I've been demoted
from First Penguin to Plankton.
**[21:01] Kukuru**
I have to put up with nastiness
and do work that I don't want to do.
**[21:06] Kukuru**
Is this what it means to be a grown-up?
**[21:13] Kukuru**
I don't know that I can go on at Tingarla.
**[21:20] Fuuka**
Are you crying?
**[21:22] Kukuru**
I'm not crying.
**[21:24] Kukuru**
I promised I wouldn't cry
when I'm alone...
**[21:45] Fuuka**
Long time, Kukuru!
**[21:48] Kukuru**
Welcome back, Fuuka.

**[00:01] Kukuru**
Fuuka...
**[00:02] Kukuru**
When did you get here?
**[00:04] Kukuru**
I would have come to pick you up,
if you'd let me know you were coming.
**[00:07] Fuuka**
Sorry.
**[00:09] Fuuka**
I was going to surprise you.
**[00:12] Kukuru**
You surprised me.
**[00:14] Kukuru**
Are you on vacation?
**[00:14] Kukuru**
How long can you stay?
**[00:19] Fuuka**
I decided to work at Tingarla, too!
**[00:23] Kukuru**
No way!
**[00:31] Fuuka**
I asked Grams where you'd moved
and secretly moved in here.
**[00:36] Fuuka**
I thought I'd surprise you.
**[00:40] Fuuka**
We're neighbors starting today, huh?
**[02:15] Director**
This is the Chief Attendant, Garandu.
**[02:18] Garandou**
It's *Garandou*.
**[02:20] Garandou**
Nice to meet you.
**[02:21] Fuuka**
I'm Miyazawa Fuuka.
**[02:23] Fuuka**
I'm sorry for arriving two days late.
**[02:25] Garandou**
No worries.
**[02:27] Garandou**
Your flight was delayed.
There was nothing you could do.
**[02:30] Director**
Well, here's your appointment.
**[02:33] Director**
Miyazawa Fuuka-san.
**[02:34] Director**
You are assigned as attendant
in the Aquatic Animals division.
**[02:38] Fuuka**
Yes, sir.
**[02:41] Garandou**
You're one of us here at Tingarla now.
**[02:43] Garandou**
Let's make every day a happy one.
***SIGN*** Miyazawa Fuuka
***SIGN*** As of April 1, 2022, you are assigned as Attendant in the Aquatic Animals division.
**[02:50] (Flashback) Fuuka**
Marketing?
**[02:51] (Flashback) Kukuru**
Product PR in marketing.
**[02:53] (Flashback) ---**
Is that right...
**[02:56] (Flashback) Kukuru**
I never even imagined I'd be working
as anything other than an attendant.
**[02:59] (Flashback) Kukuru**
I thought I was through, but since I get
to work with you, I'm going to try my best.
**[03:05] (Flashback) Fuuka**
Yeah.
**[03:09] Garandou**
Do you know what
aquatic animals we have?
**[03:12] Fuuka**
Yes.
**[03:13] Fuuka**
Cape penguins, California sea lions,
and Asian short-clawed otters, right?
**[03:17] Garandou**
Yup.
**[03:18] Garandou**
I heard you were taking care
of Cape penguins at Gama Gama.
**[03:22] Fuuka**
Yes.
**[03:23] Garandou**
That's perfect.
**[03:25] Garandou**
I'll have you be in charge
of the penguins, then.
**[03:29] Fuuka**
Yes, sir.
**[03:32] Kai**
Huh? Miyazawa-san?
**[03:40] Garandou**
I had a look at your résumé.
**[03:43] Garandou**
You were an idol, huh?
**[03:46] Fuuka**
Yes!
**[03:48] Garandou**
I see.
**[03:49] Garandou**
So why did you decide
to work at an aquarium?
**[03:52] Fuuka**
It's because I had the opportunity
to work at Gama Gama last year.
**[03:58] Akari**
Kukuru-san, Kukuru-san!
**[03:59] Kukuru**
Yes?
**[04:01] Akari**
That new employee who
just got hired is *so* pretty.
**[04:04] Kukuru**
You mean Fuuka?
**[04:06] Akari**
You know her?
**[04:08] Kukuru**
Yes.
**[04:09] Akari**
I heard she was assigned as an attendant.
**[04:12] Akari**
In charge of penguins.
**[04:14] Kukuru**
Oh, really?
**[04:18] Boss**
Plankton.
**[04:19] Kukuru**
Yes, sir!
**[04:20] Boss**
We're doing a test run of the
behind-the-scenes tour in a week.
**[04:23] Kukuru**
One week?!
**[04:25] Boss**
Get it set up.
**[04:26] Kukuru**
But...
**[04:27] Boss**
What?
**[04:28] Kukuru**
We just opened.
**[04:30] Kukuru**
I think we should wait until everyone's
settled in before we do any events.
**[04:34] Boss**
A lot of aquariums are doing
behind-the-scenes tours right now.
**[04:38] Boss**
Why is that?
**[04:41] Kukuru**
To have the guests appreciate aquariums?
**[04:46] Boss**
That's part of it, obviously.
**[04:47] Boss**
What else?
**[04:50] Boss**
Advertising.
**[04:52] Kukuru**
Advertising...
**[04:53] Boss**
We won't see results immediately,
but it's an effective way
**[04:57] ---**
to encourage word-of-mouth advertising
on social media, and to get repeat customers.
**[05:02] Boss**
In other words, it's part of our job
of generating Tingarla fans.
**[05:07] Boss**
That's all from me.
**[05:08] Kukuru**
Huh?
**[05:21] Fuuka**
Okay.
**[05:27] Kukuru**
I'm Miyazawa Fuuka.
I'll be working here starting today.
**[05:31] Chiyu**
Cape Penguin Team chief Haebaru Chiyu.
**[05:35] Chiyu**
I haven't seen you since Gama Gama.
**[05:37] Fuuka**
Right.
**[05:37] Fuuka**
I look forward to working with you.
**[05:40] Marina**
Yonekura Marina.
**[05:42] Marina**
Let's have fun here at work!
**[05:44] Fuuka**
Nice to meet you.
**[05:46] Chiyu**
Were you brought in
by the Gama Gama director, too?
**[05:48] Fuuka**
Yes.
**[05:50] Chiyu**
I see.
**[05:52] Chiyu**
How long were you at Gama Gama?
**[05:54] Fuuka**
A month.
**[05:55] Chiyu**
One month?
**[05:57] Chiyu**
What other experience do you have?
**[05:59] Fuuka**
I don't have any.
**[06:02] Fuuka**
I'm sure I'll be deficient in some ways,
but I'll work hard to learn the job.
**[06:07] Chiyu**
For starters, I'll have you take a test.
**[06:11] Fuuka**
A test?
**[06:12] Chiyu**
We have twenty Cape penguins here.
**[06:16] Chiyu**
Please memorize all their names
**[06:19] ---**
from the colors of their flipper
bands and their ID numbers.
**[06:22] Chiyu**
Acquaint yourself with each of their faces,
personalities, and relationships.
**[06:27] Chiyu**
We'll be giving them food supplements.
**[06:31] Chiyu**
You can't do your job
if you can't tell them apart.
**[06:34] Marina**
I couldn't tell them apart at first, either.
**[06:37] Marina**
It's easy once you get used to it, though.
**[06:40] Chiyu**
Got it?
**[06:42] Fuuka**
Yes. Understood.
**[06:57] Karin**
Kukuru, we're holding a welcome-back party
for Fuuka-chan at Ohana tonight.
**[07:02] Karin**
I invited the others already.
**[07:04] Kukuru**
Okay, got it.
**[07:07] Karin**
The behind-the-scenes tour?
**[07:09] Kukuru**
Yeah.
**[07:10] Kukuru**
The one that we had to
cancel the dry run for.
**[07:13] Kukuru**
We're going straight into it.
**[07:17] Karin**
Break a leg.
**[07:18] Kukuru**
You don't *actually* care.
**[07:20] Kukuru**
Boo hoo.
**[07:25] Kukuru**
Haebaru-san.
**[07:26] Kukuru**
Sorry to interrupt your work.
**[07:28] Kukuru**
Per my email, we're going to be running
the behind-the-scenes tour in a week.
**[07:35] Chiyu**
Understood.
**[07:37] Kukuru**
I look forward to it!
**[07:39] Chiyu**
But could we leave the penguins out?
**[07:41] Kukuru**
But the penguins are really popular.
**[07:46] Chiyu**
I get that the behind-the-scenes tour
is an important project.
**[07:50] Chiyu**
But it's too difficult right now.
**[07:52] Chiyu**
You were an attendant. You must know.
**[07:57] Kaoru**
Oh, we can't do it.
**[08:00] Kaoru**
We have too many newbies.
**[08:01] Kaoru**
We're barely making it
through our day-to-day.
**[08:05] Boss**
It's your job to make arrangements
with each section.
**[08:08] Boss**
Take responsibility.
**[08:10] Kukuru**
As I said...
**[08:11] Kukuru**
Assistant Director!
**[08:17] Kukuru**
What does he want me to do?
**[08:22] Karin**
Come on.
**[08:23] Karin**
It's Fuuka-chan's welcome-back party.
**[08:25] Karin**
Buck up.
**[08:27] Kukuru**
Sorry.
**[08:28] Udon**
Long time, Fuuka-chan!
**[08:31] Fuuka**
Udon-chan!
**[08:33] Udon**
I'm glad to see you again!
**[08:35] Fuuka**
I just really wanted to be back.
**[08:38] Fuuka**
Cheers!
**[08:40] Karin**
Yakamashi Kuuya isn't here.
**[08:42] Umi**
He has a late shift today.
**[08:44] Karin**
Ah.
**[08:45] Eiji**
I feel like a sardine
in a school of horse mackerel.
**[08:48] Karin**
What does that mean? Um...
**[08:51] Kai**
Oh, this is Higa Eiji-san.
He's with us on the fish team.
**[08:54] Eiji**
I heard it's a meeting
of former Gama Gama employees,
**[08:57] ---**
so I thought I should pass
on the invitation.
**[08:59] Eiji**
But I was caught and hauled to shore.
**[09:02] Umi**
Hauled to shore?
**[09:03] Karin**
I heard some people are saying
the Gama Gama people are creating a faction.
**[09:10] Kukuru**
That's not true at all.
**[09:12] Karin**
I was working at the Tourism Association.
**[09:15] Eiji**
I see.
**[09:16] Karin**
And our star for the night, Fuuka-chan, was
working part-time at Gama Gama last summer.
**[09:22] Karin**
And now, she's a full-time
employee at Tingarla.
**[09:25] Eiji**
From an idol to an attendant...
**[09:27] Eiji**
It's as though a smolt has grown
into a salmon.
**[09:31] Umi**
She's not like those fish
with different names based on growth.
**[09:33] Kukuru**
How did you know she's an idol?
**[09:35] Eiji**
My boss told me.
**[09:37] Karin**
Oh, Garandou-san.
**[09:40] Karin**
That guy's so laid-back.
**[09:42] Karin**
In a good way.
**[09:43] Umi**
In a good way?
**[09:45] Udon**
Here you are!
**[09:49] Udon**
So, Fuuka-chan,
how did you end up back here?
**[09:54] Fuuka**
Working at Gama Gama made me feel
that an aquarium's the right place for me.
**[09:58] Fuuka**
So I decided to talk to Gramps,
and he hooked me up with Tingarla.
**[10:04] Kukuru**
I see.
**[10:05] Kukuru**
That's why you said
you got a diving license.
**[10:08] Kai**
Diving?
**[10:10] Kukuru**
I don't have much knowledge or experience,
so I wanted to find a way to be useful.
**[10:15] Kai**
You sure do work for your goals.
**[10:18] Fuuka**
Nah.
**[10:19] Eiji**
From whitebait to an anchovy, then.
**[10:21] Umi**
Enough about fish already!
**[10:23] Eiji**
Never.
**[10:26] Kukuru**
You're such a grown-up, Fuuka.
**[10:28] Kukuru**
I'm such a child. I got jealous
when I heard you became an attendant.
**[10:34] Fuuka**
That's not true.
**[10:39] Kukuru**
No, I need to work hard.
**[10:42] Kukuru**
I want to do my job properly for now
and go back to attendant work someday.
**[10:48] Kukuru**
That's my goal.
**[10:50] Kukuru**
I still love living things.
***SIGN*** Konpeito No. 12 8 years Ring color:
***SIGN*** Daifuku No. 15 6 years Ring color:
**[11:13] Fuuka**
That one's Konpeito.
**[11:17] Fuuka**
Was his big sister Hina-arare?
**[11:20] Fuuka**
The one that's always in the water is...
**[11:24] Fuuka**
They must be stressed out
from having just come to a new aquarium.
**[11:29] Fuuka**
I'll take care of you
so you can feel at home sooner.
***SIGN*** Penguin Chaser
**[11:54] Kaoru**
Fine, I'll cooperate.
**[11:56] Kukuru**
Really?
**[11:58] Kaoru**
Chief Garandou told me to take it on.
**[12:01] Kaoru**
I can't say "no."
**[12:03] Kukuru**
Huh? Okay.
**[12:05] Kaoru**
I'm not going to deal
with customers, though.
**[12:08] Kukuru**
Okay.
**[12:08] Kukuru**
I'll do that.
**[12:10] Kaoru**
Bye.
**[12:12] Kukuru**
Well, at least I got an "okay."
**[12:16] Kukuru**
Th-Thank you very much for participating
in the Aquarium Tingarla Behind-the-scenes Tour.
**[12:22] Akari**
Kukuru-san, you have to smile more.
**[12:26] Akari**
You're going to scare the guests away.
**[12:30] Kukuru**
Thank you for helping
with the rehearsal.
**[12:33] Akari**
Not at all.
**[12:34] Akari**
Are you going to be
the tour guide yourself, Kukuru-san?
**[12:38] Kukuru**
I figured I'd do that at first.
**[12:42] Kukuru**
We use this machine to clean the water
and return it to the tanks.
**[12:46] Akari**
Wow.
**[12:48] Akari**
I never knew aquarium water gets dirty.
**[12:51] Kukuru**
This is the heart of Tingarla.
**[12:54] Kukuru**
We watch over all the tanks
twenty-four hours a day.
**[12:58] Akari**
You can see the fish.
**[13:02] Kukuru**
We prepare different feed
for different fish.
**[13:09] Akari**
Look at that!
**[13:12] Kukuru**
We're above the main aquarium.
**[13:16] Kukuru**
Let's feed the fish.
**[13:24] Akari**
They're really going at it!
**[13:28] Akari**
The penguins are so cute.
**[13:31] Kukuru**
I wish I could show off the penguins
up close at the end.
**[13:46] Fuuka**
Azuki and Ohagi are fighting again.
**[13:51] Fuuka**
That one's always in the corner.
**[13:54] Fuuka**
Uirou, was it?
**[13:58] Kukuru**
That just about does it.
**[14:00] Akari**
Aquariums are pretty fun, huh?
**[14:04] Akari**
Oh, I just work here because
I live pretty close.
**[14:09] Akari**
I wasn't especially interested in aquariums.
**[14:12] Kukuru**
Really?
**[14:14] Akari**
But looking around
has been surprisingly fun!
**[14:21] Kukuru**
I know, right?
**[14:23] Kukuru**
Despite what the Assistant Director said,
**[14:25] ---**
I still want people to come to the behind-the-scenes
tour and fall in love with aquariums.
**[14:31] Kukuru**
So I'm going to work hard!
**[14:35] Akari**
You're so amusing, Kukuru-san.
**[14:40] Kukuru**
I've coordinated with attendants,
facilities, and customer staff.
**[14:45] Kukuru**
And I checked over the itinerary
with Maeda-san's help.
**[14:51] Boss**
What about announcements?
**[14:52] Kukuru**
I've already arranged to have an announcement
to be posted on our website.
**[14:55] Boss**
Fair enough.
**[14:56] Kukuru**
Just...
**[14:59] Kukuru**
I haven't been able to get
the Penguin team to agree.
**[15:02] Boss**
Damn it.
**[15:04] Boss**
Whatever.
**[15:05] Boss**
We'll do it without penguins this time.
**[15:06] Kukuru**
But I think people will
appreciate the penguins.
**[15:09] Boss**
Which is it?!
**[15:11] Kukuru**
I'll go plead with them again!
**[15:14] Kukuru**
Hey, where's Haebaru-san?
**[15:17] Fuuka**
She went home already.
**[15:20] Fuuka**
Want to talk to Marina-san?
**[15:23] Kukuru**
Okay.
**[15:25] Fuuka**
Marina-san.
**[15:26] Marina**
Yeah?
**[15:27] Fuuka**
This is Misakino Kukuru-san from marketing.
**[15:30] Kukuru**
Misakino.
**[15:31] Kukuru**
Um...
**[15:31] Marina**
Oh, is this about the behind-the-scenes tour?
**[15:35] Kukuru**
Yes.
**[15:36] Marina**
The behind-the-scenes tour sounds great.
**[15:38] Marina**
It's a chance to talk
to the guests directly.
**[15:41] Kukuru**
Then would you mind being the guide,
if we can get it working?
**[15:45] Marina**
I'd love to.
**[15:46] Marina**
I'm looking forward to it.
**[15:48] Marina**
Everyone, those ones over there
are the Cape penguins!
**[15:54] Kukuru**
We haven't gotten the go-ahead
from Penguins yet, though.
**[15:57] Marina**
Right.
**[15:59] Marina**
I'm sure Chiyu-san will agree eventually.
**[16:02] Marina**
I'll do anything I can to help.
**[16:05] Marina**
Never give up!
**[16:06] Marina**
*Nunca te rindas*!
**[16:08] Kukuru**
I'm not giving up.
**[16:10] Marina**
Good, good.
**[16:12] Kukuru**
I'll come back to ask Haebaru-san again.
**[16:15] Kukuru**
You're done now, right?
**[16:16] Kukuru**
Let's go home together.
**[16:18] Fuuka**
I'm going to stay for a bit longer.
**[16:20] Fuuka**
I have to memorize for the test.
**[16:22] ---**
Test?
**[16:25] Kukuru**
You made that, huh?
**[16:27] Fuuka**
Yeah.
**[16:29] Kukuru**
Can I see?
**[16:30] Fuuka**
I'm not...
**[16:31] Kukuru**
You won't remember if you keep looking.
**[16:33] Fuuka**
Okay.
**[16:35] Kukuru**
Who's that?
**[16:37] Fuuka**
Male, number sixteen... Kusamochi-kun?
**[16:40] Kukuru**
Close.
**[16:41] Kukuru**
It's Kashiwamochi-kun.
**[16:47] Fuuka**
They aren't used to this environment yet.
**[16:52] Kukuru**
Right.
**[16:54] Kukuru**
Of course.
**[17:02] Fuuka**
Female, number eleven, Sakuramochi.
**[17:04] Kukuru**
And who's her partner?
**[17:08] Fuuka**
This one!
**[17:09] Fuuka**
Dorayaki.
**[17:10] Kukuru**
Bingo!
**[17:14] Kukuru**
Okay, next.
**[17:29] Marina**
Fuuka!
**[17:30] Marina**
Are you ready?
**[17:31] Fuuka**
Yes!
**[17:35] Marina**
Go!
**[17:36] Fuuka**
Okaki.
**[17:37] Fuuka**
Daifuku.
**[17:39] Fuuka**
Kashiwamochi.
**[17:41] Fuuka**
Popo the Curious.
**[17:43] Fuuka**
The happily married Sakuramochi and Dorayaki.
**[17:46] Fuuka**
Muchi the Hungry.
**[17:48] Fuuka**
Konpeito and his big sister, Hina-arare.
**[17:52] Fuuka**
That one in the corner is Uirou.
**[17:54] Fuuka**
Those ones fighting are Ohagi and Azuki.
**[17:57] Fuuka**
Chimaki, Nerikiri, Chitoseame.
**[17:59] Fuuka**
Rakugan, Youkan, Amanatto.
**[18:02] Fuuka**
Kurimanju, and...
**[18:05] Fuuka**
Zundamochi-kun!
**[18:08] Marina**
Correct!
**[18:09] Marina**
Perfect!
**[18:10] Marina**
You did it, Fuuka!
**[18:14] Chiyu**
You pass.
**[18:15] Chiyu**
Good job memorizing them so quickly.
**[18:20] Fuuka**
Thank you!
**[18:24] Kukuru**
Haebaru-san.
**[18:25] Chiyu**
Yes?
**[18:27] Fuuka**
Could you please reconsider your decision
on the behind-the-scenes tour?
**[18:31] Chiyu**
I really want to show off the penguins.
**[18:37] Marina**
Chiyu-san, I can handle it.
**[18:40] Fuuka**
The penguins here are new.
**[18:42] Fuuka**
A lot of them are still agitated.
**[18:44] Fuuka**
That's why you said
it would be difficult, right?
**[18:49] Fuuka**
I don't think we can feed them yet,
**[18:51] ---**
but I'll be mindful to make sure
the guests stay a certain distance away.
**[18:55] Kukuru**
We'll be careful not to
stress the penguins out.
**[18:58] Kukuru**
Please!
**[19:02] Chiyu**
If it's only to observe feeding time.
**[19:04] Kukuru**
Then!
**[19:05] Chiyu**
But if something happens to the penguins,
we're calling it off immediately.
**[19:09] Kukuru**
Okay!

**[19:18] Kukuru**
Thank you for all your help today.
**[19:21] Akari**
Not at all.
**[19:22] Akari**
But it's time, and no one's shown up yet.
**[19:28] A**
Pardon me!
**[19:30] A**
Can I still join the behind-the-scenes tour?
**[19:33] Kukuru**
Yes!
**[19:34] B**
Yay!
**[19:36] C**
Thank you.
**[19:40] Kukuru**
The back area is an important place.
It's where we take care of the animals.
**[19:47] Kukuru**
This is the machine
that always keeps the water clean.
**[19:52] Kukuru**
This is the room
where we watch over the animals.
**[19:58] Kukuru**
We're right above the main aquarium.
**[20:01] A**
Look at all of them!
**[20:04] B**
It's a manta ray!
**[20:06] Umi**
There, you must be hungry.
**[20:13] A**
Penguin food!
**[20:15] Marina**
We put supplements in the penguin food,
so that they can be healthy every day.
**[20:22] Fuuka**
Hina-arare and Konpeitou over there
are sister and brother.
**[20:30] A**
That was fun!
**[20:32] B**
I want to come back
to see the penguins again!
**[20:35] Kukuru**
We'll be waiting.
**[20:36] C**
Thank you.
**[20:38] D**
Our kids really enjoyed it.
**[20:40] D**
I had fun, too.
**[20:42] Kukuru**
I'm glad.
**[20:43] Kukuru**
Please enjoy the main facility as well.
**[20:47] Kukuru**
Thank you.
**[20:48] Akari**
Thank you.
**[20:50] A**
Bye-bye.
**[20:52] Akari**
They liked it.
**[20:54] Kukuru**
Yeah!
**[20:56] Boss**
Just one group?
**[20:59] Boss**
Ridiculous.
**[21:00] Kukuru**
Yes, sir...
**[21:01] Boss**
Come up with better ways
to attract customers.
**[21:04] Kukuru**
Yes, sir!
**[21:10] Kukuru**
I'm going to leave you
in the dust someday!
**[22:47] ---**
Curse you, Assistant Director.
**[22:50] ---**
But the guests had a nice time, right?
**[22:53] ---**
Yup.
**[22:54] ---**
It's all thanks to you, Fuuka.
**[22:55] ---**
What? But I didn't do anything.
**[22:58] ---**
No, it's because you passed the test
**[23:02] ---**
that Haebaru-san gave in.
**[23:05] ---**
You think so?
**[23:08] ---**
I need to work harder like you.
**[23:12] ---**
I can do my best when you're around.
**[23:16] ---**
Kukuru.
**[23:17] ---**
Hm?
**[23:18] ---**
You see...
**[23:20] ---**
Ever since I heard that
you were going to Tingarla
**[23:23] ---**
I was determined to come back here.
**[23:27] ---**
I came back because you're here, Kukuru.
**[23:31] ---**
Well, I'm glad you're here.

**[00:14] Karin**
Hey, are you all right?
**[00:16] Kukuru**
This is my *third* report!
**[00:18] Kukuru**
Do we really have to
do these write-ups?
**[00:21] Kukuru**
It'd be quicker just to explain orally.
**[00:24] Karin**
I see where you're coming from.
**[00:26] Karin**
But having a written record is important.
**[00:28] Akari**
Hang in there, Kukuru-san.
**[00:31] Akari**
The assistant director's giving you so much
work only because he has high hopes for you.
**[00:35] Kukuru**
Akari-chan, do you really believe that?
**[00:38] Akari**
You're so soft.
**[00:41] Boss**
Plankton.
**[00:42] Kukuru**
Yes, sir!
**[00:43] Boss**
Come up with some ideas
for the project presentation ASAP.
**[00:46] Kukuru**
Project presentation?
**[00:47] Boss**
We're using the first floor west wing.
**[00:50] Boss**
Think of a buzzworthy event
that'll attract a lot of guests.
**[00:53] Boss**
Do it by tomorrow.
**[00:55] Kukuru**
Tomorrow?
**[00:56] Kukuru**
Don't you think that's a bit—
**[00:57] Boss**
That's all from me.
**[01:02] Kukuru**
Fine, sir!
**[02:34] Fuuka**
I see. You need ideas by tomorrow, huh?
**[02:37] Kukuru**
Yeah!
**[02:38] Kukuru**
Can you believe it?
**[02:39] Kukuru**
He just keeps pushing more work on me.
**[02:41] Kukuru**
He's such a slave driver.
**[02:45] Fuuka**
Sounds rough.
**[02:47] Fuuka**
But it also sounds good.
**[02:49] Fuuka**
It's an opportunity to get people
to learn about sea life, right?
**[02:53] Fuuka**
It'll be really rewarding,
getting to choose what we're exhibiting.
**[02:58] Kukuru**
Yeah.
**[02:59] Kukuru**
We didn't have enough people
or funding to do much at Gama Gama.
**[03:04] Fuuka**
But you might be able
to do something new at Tingarla.
**[03:08] Kukuru**
You're right.
**[03:09] Kukuru**
Thanks, Fuuka.
**[03:15] Kukuru**
All right!
**[03:18] Akari**
I thought there were some preparations
underway for a big exhibit in the summer.
**[03:23] Karin**
That got postponed.
**[03:25] Karin**
But we can't just sit
on our hands till then,
**[03:28] ---**
so now we're scrambling
to come up with a new plan.
**[03:31] Akari**
So that's why Kukuru-san's been tapped.
**[03:35] Eiji**
Welcome to the fish area.
**[03:37] Eiji**
The spines on the porcupinefish
are normally facing flat,
**[03:41] ---**
but they point up when its body inflates.
**[03:44] Eiji**
Now, what do you think
these spines are for?
**[03:48] Kaoru**
Yeah, sounds good.
**[03:50] Eiji**
Thank you.
**[03:52] Kaoru**
Kai-kun, you're up.
**[03:53] ---**
Uh, all right.
**[03:55] Kai**
This is the porcupinefish.
**[03:58] Kai**
It's a kind of pufferfish.
**[04:03] Kai**
Do you have any questions or anything?
**[04:08] Kai**
Sorry.
**[04:10] Kaoru**
We'll have you do the next tour, Eiji-kun.
**[04:12] Eiji**
Okay.
**[04:13] Kaoru**
Kai-kun, have something ready
to talk about.
**[04:16] Kaoru**
It can be something
you're more familiar with.
**[04:18] Kai**
Okay.
**[04:24] Akari**
Hello.
**[04:26] Akari**
Do you know where Chief Garandou is?
**[04:28] Kuuya**
Dunno.
**[04:30] Kuuya**
I'm sure he's somewhere.
**[04:32] Akari**
The assistant director asked me
to deliver some mail.
**[04:36] Akari**
No clue where the chief might be?
**[04:39] Kuuya**
Nope.
**[04:40] Akari**
He wasn't in the attendant room, either.
**[04:42] Akari**
I seriously can't find him.
**[04:46] Kaoru**
I saw the chief in the break room.
**[04:48] Akari**
Really?
**[04:50] Kaoru**
Yeah.
**[04:50] Akari**
Thank you.
**[04:55] Kuuya**
Thanks, you saved me.
**[04:57] Kuuya**
You can deal with her from now on.
**[05:00] Kaoru**
Kuuya-kun, could you help Umi-yan-san
when you're done here?
**[05:04] Kuuya**
A'ight.
**[05:05] Kaoru**
Don't "a'ight" me.
**[05:06] Kaoru**
We're at work.
**[05:08] Kuuya**
A'ight.
**[05:09] Kaoru**
I said...
**[05:34] Boss**
Explain.
**[05:36] Kukuru**
Right!
**[05:37] Kukuru**
The first one is an exhibit
of dangerous sea animals.
**[05:39] Kukuru**
I thought it'd be fun to show off some
animals that you don't get to see often.
***SIGN*** *Diadema setosum*
***SIGN*** Red piranha
**[05:43] ---**
Like piranhas, or other things
that are particularly vicious.
**[05:47] Kukuru**
The next one is a killifish exhibit.
**[05:49] Kukuru**
Killifish are easy to keep,
and they're popular right now.
**[05:53] Kukuru**
That one's a salamander.
**[05:54] Kukuru**
The one below that is deep sea fish.
**[05:56] Kukuru**
There's all sorts of unique critters.
They're great!
**[06:00] Kukuru**
I want to talk about the plastic waste
problem and the endangerment of coral.
**[06:04] Boss**
Which of these can we do
in two weeks?
**[06:06] Kukuru**
Eh?
**[06:08] Kukuru**
I think we can do sea slugs.
**[06:10] Kukuru**
We won't have to borrow any
from other aquariums,
**[06:12] ---**
since we can find them
in nearby waters.
**[06:14] Boss**
Sea slugs, huh?
**[06:16] Kukuru**
They aren't called jewels
of the sea for nothing.
***SIGN*** Phyllidia coelestis
***SIGN*** Colorful
Sea Slugs
***SIGN*** Dermatobranchus ornatus
***SIGN*** Ardaedoris cruenta
***SIGN*** Tambja sagamiana
***SIGN*** Goniobranchus coi
**[06:18] Kukuru**
They're really colorful,
and you never get bored of them.
**[06:21] Kukuru**
But you don't really get a chance
to get a good look at them at the shore.
**[06:24] Kukuru**
I'm absolutely certain it'll generate buzz
if we show off lots of different kinds!
**[06:28] Boss**
We'll do sea slugs,
if you're that confident in them.
**[06:31] Kukuru**
Thank you!
**[06:33] Boss**
But we'll need to make some adjustments.
**[06:35] Kukuru**
Yes, sir!
**[06:36] Boss**
We need more than five.
**[06:38] Boss**
We need at least eight.
**[06:40] Kukuru**
Sea slugs are hard to keep, though.
**[06:43] Kukuru**
It might put a lot of strain
on the attendant team.
**[06:44] Boss**
Which team are you on?
**[06:47] Kukuru**
The marketing team.
**[06:48] Boss**
That's right.
**[06:49] Boss**
You need to put the guests' feelings
ahead of the attendant team's problems.
**[06:53] Boss**
That's how you gain customers
and make profit.
**[06:55] Boss**
It's how we create a future for Tingarla.
**[07:00] Boss**
We don't have time.
**[07:01] Boss**
Hurry up and get it started.
**[07:02] Kukuru**
Yes, sir!
**[07:07] Akari**
Wow.
**[07:08] Akari**
Her proposal got accepted.
**[07:10] Karin**
Sea slugs sound fun.
**[07:12] Akari**
Are sea slugs slugs in the sea?
**[07:15] Karin**
Haven't you seen them?
**[07:16] Karin**
They're in the shallows.
**[07:17] Karin**
They're like slugs.
**[07:19] Akari**
Are you sure they're cute?
**[07:24] Kukuru**
This space is pretty big.
**[07:27] Kukuru**
He's right. Five species might not be enough.
**[07:31] Kukuru**
Umi-yan.
**[07:33] Umi**
Kukuru-chan.
**[07:35] Kukuru**
Can I ask you about sea slugs?
**[07:37] Kukuru**
Hi, long time.
**[07:38] Kukuru**
It's Misakino. Thank you for
your help at Gama Gama.
**[07:41] Kukuru**
There's something I'd like to ask you.
**[07:49] Kukuru**
There, done!
**[07:51] Kukuru**
Now...
**[07:54] Kukuru**
Kai!
**[07:57] Kukuru**
Kai, do you have a minute?
**[07:59] Kukuru**
Hurry!
**[08:06] Kai**
Morning?
**[08:07] Kukuru**
Yeah.
**[08:08] Kukuru**
You have some time,
since you're on the late shift, right?
**[08:10] Kukuru**
Could you come
to the shore with me?
**[08:12] Kukuru**
Please?
**[08:13] Kai**
Sure, I guess.
**[08:15] Kukuru**
Yay!
**[08:16] Kukuru**
See you tomorrow!
**[08:20] Eiji**
Based on my observations,
your courtship behavior is shy,
**[08:24] ---**
modest, and difficult to read.
**[08:26] Kai**
Courtship?
**[08:28] Eiji**
Did you know? The male prickleback fish
builds a nest and dances in front of it.
**[08:33] Eiji**
The male seahorse shows off its brood pouch
to the female to request egg deposits.
**[08:42] Eiji**
I think you'd be better off
being just as obvious.
**[08:44] Kai**
What?
**[08:45] Eiji**
So she was the motivation behind
you becoming an aquarium attendant,
**[08:49] ---**
despite your parents being fishermen.
**[08:51] Eiji**
I'll be rooting for your
successful courtship, in secret.
**[08:54] Kai**
Hey, I never...
**[09:04] Kukuru**
It feels great, Kai!
**[09:06] Kai**
Yeah.
**[09:08] Kukuru**
It feels great, Fuuka!
**[09:14] Kai**
*Miyazawa-san's here, too.*
**[09:19] ---**
Heave ho.
**[09:22] Kukuru**
There's some. Look.
**[09:23] Fuuka**
Wow!
**[09:26] Kukuru**
Umi-yan told me
there are a lot of sea slugs here.
**[09:30] Kai**
I found some here, too.
**[09:33] Kukuru**
There are so many!
**[09:34] Kukuru**
Verconia simplex and
Hypselodoris purpureomaculosa.
**[09:38] Kukuru**
I know which sea sponges these kids eat,
so we'll take them home.
**[09:42] Kukuru**
We don't know what *Tambja
sagamiana* eats, so it might not work.
**[09:46] Kai**
Huh?
**[09:47] Fuuka**
What do you mean?
**[09:49] Kukuru**
Sea slugs are super picky eaters.
They eat only certain things.
**[09:53] Kukuru**
So it's really important
what we feed them.
**[09:55] Kukuru**
Some kinds of sea slugs eat sea sponges.
Others eat sea moss or sea squirts.
**[10:00] Kukuru**
And they eat only fresh
natural stuff, so it's a pain.
**[10:04] Kai**
Seriously?
**[10:05] Fuuka**
That's a pain.
**[10:06] Kukuru**
So I called an aquarium I'm acquainted with
**[10:10] ---**
and gathered information on what they eat.
**[10:13] Fuuka**
In other words, there's
a lot that we don't know yet?
**[10:17] Kukuru**
Yup!
**[10:18] Kai**
This is going to be tough.
**[10:20] Kukuru**
There's so much to know about sea slugs!
**[10:24] Kukuru**
Let's check out the rocks over there.
**[10:26] Kukuru**
They'll die out easily if we
gather too many from one spot.
**[10:31] Fuuka**
Okay.
**[10:31] Kukuru**
R-Right.
**[10:37] Kukuru**
Eat up lots.
**[10:43] Kukuru**
Chief Garandou.
**[10:45] Garandu**
Yeah? What's up?
**[10:47] Kukuru**
We're doing a sea-slug exhibit soon.
**[10:50] Kukuru**
May we have your cooperation?
**[10:52] Kukuru**
This is the project proposal.
**[10:53] Garandu**
You sure do come up
with challenging events.
**[10:57] Garandu**
I guess I can't say "no"
to the assistant director.
**[11:00] Kaoru**
When are we starting?
**[11:01] Kukuru**
The end of next week.
**[11:03] Kaoru**
That's too soon.
**[11:04] Kaoru**
We had this problem
with the behind-the-scenes tour.
**[11:06] Kaoru**
Couldn't you tell us earlier?
**[11:07] Kaoru**
We need to prepare, too.
**[11:09] Kukuru**
Sorry.
**[11:10] Kaoru**
So what's the exhibit?
**[11:14] Kaoru**
Eight kinds?
**[11:15] Kaoru**
That's a lot.
**[11:17] Kaoru**
Can we cut it down by half?
**[11:18] Kukuru**
That'll be difficult.
**[11:20] Kaoru**
You were an attendant before, weren't you?
**[11:22] Kaoru**
Don't you know how hard
it is to keep sea slugs?
**[11:25] Kukuru**
I understand.
**[11:26] Kukuru**
I do, but...
**[11:28] Kukuru**
But I think the guests come first.
**[11:31] Kaoru**
Are you saying the attendants don't matter?
**[11:33] Garandu**
There, there.
**[11:35] Kaoru**
What do you plan to do for food?
**[11:37] Kukuru**
We know the species and where they feed.
**[11:39] Kukuru**
We just need to gather some.
**[11:40] Kaoru**
Sea sponges and moss are delicate.
**[11:43] Kaoru**
We'll have to harvest them frequently.
**[11:45] Kaoru**
And telling them apart is difficult.
**[11:47] Kaoru**
If we spend time on food,
we won't be able to finish our other work.
**[11:51] Garandu**
How about giving up on food?
**[11:54] Kaoru**
Keep them unfed, huh?
**[11:55] Kukuru**
We can't do that!
**[11:56] Kukuru**
It'd be cruel not to feed them!
**[11:58] Garandu**
It's a short exhibit, though.
**[12:01] Garandu**
I think we should consider it.
**[12:02] Kukuru**
Absolutely not!
**[12:03] Kukuru**
I'll make a list of what each one eats,
so that all the attendants will know!
**[12:09] Kukuru**
I'll be back.
**[12:14] Kukuru**
Huh?
**[12:17] Kukuru**
The sea sponge hasn't shrunk.
**[12:22] Fuuka**
What's wrong?
**[12:23] Kukuru**
These ones aren't eating.
**[12:26] Fuuka**
Don't they eat what we found
these sea slugs on?
**[12:29] Kukuru**
They're supposed to.
**[12:33] Kukuru**
All right.
**[12:34] Kukuru**
Let's try some other sea sponges.
***SIGN*** The Great Sea Slug Debate
**[12:41] Boss**
The sea slugs aren't feeding?
**[12:43] Kukuru**
Seven species are,
but the Tambja sagamiana aren't.
**[12:48] Boss**
It's just one species. Figure it out.
**[12:50] Kukuru**
Give me a little more time.
**[12:52] Kukuru**
I want to gather some moss
at a different shore.
**[12:54] Boss**
The exhibit starts at the end of the week.
**[12:56] Boss**
We aren't postponing it.
**[12:57] Kukuru**
But the food...
**[12:58] Boss**
Let the attendant team figure it out.
**[13:00] Boss**
Get back to marketing work!
**[13:09] Kukuru**
They aren't eating.
**[13:11] Kukuru**
This one's a no-go, too.
**[13:13] Kukuru**
Two more left...
**[13:15] Kukuru**
What if they don't eat it, either?
**[13:19] Fuuka**
There you are!
**[13:20] Fuuka**
Kukuru!
**[13:21] Fuuka**
The behind-the-scenes tour!
**[13:26] Chiyu**
Penguins have a way of shooting their poop
outside of their own nests.
**[13:31] Chiyu**
They can come at you really fast
out of nowhere,
**[13:34] ---**
so we attendants get hit all the time.
**[13:37] A**
They shoot their poop?
**[13:39] B**
Awesome!
**[13:40] Kukuru**
Sorry I'm late!
**[13:41] Kukuru**
I'm Misakino, the guide.
**[13:43] Kukuru**
I'm really sorry!
**[13:46] Chiyu**
I've introduced the tour already.
**[13:49] Chiyu**
Not to worry.
**[13:51] Kukuru**
Sorry.
**[13:52] Kukuru**
Would you move out of the way?
**[13:54] Kukuru**
We're about to start feeding.
**[13:56] Fuuka**
Hi!
**[13:58] Fuuka**
We've all been waiting
for feeding time, haven't we?
**[14:02] Fuuka**
They start pecking at you
if you don't go fast.
**[14:05] Fuuka**
So the trick is to be quick.
**[14:12] Chiyu**
Seriously.
**[14:13] Chiyu**
How could you forget the tour
that you're in charge of?
**[14:16] Chiyu**
This is why I can't stand Gama Gama.
**[14:19] Kaoru**
Is the other Gama Gama like that, too?
**[14:23] Chiyu**
That one's a little more useful.
**[14:25] Chiyu**
How about yours?
**[14:26] Kaoru**
Ours are...
**[14:32] Kaoru**
They're a mixed bag.
**[14:37] Kaoru**
What's up?
**[14:38] Chiyu**
Sorry, this is urgent.
**[14:40] Kaoru**
Okay, later.
**[14:42] Chiyu**
Bye.
**[14:48] Umi**
Are you having lunch, Kaoru-chan?
**[14:50] Umi**
Handmade bento, huh?
**[14:52] Umi**
Looks delicious.
**[14:53] Kuuya**
Wow, what are you, a food guy?
**[14:56] Umi**
Huh?
**[14:57] Kuuya**
What?
**[14:58] Umi**
She's not a guy.
**[15:07] Umi**
Wait a second. Did you think Kaoru-chan's...
**[15:11] Kuuya**
A woman?
**[15:14] Umi**
Our Kuuya here's delicate.
**[15:17] Kuuya**
I need air!
**[15:23] Akari**
Kukuru-san, we got an inquiry
about the pamphlets.
**[15:27] Akari**
Did we order the right number?
**[15:29] Kukuru**
Huh?
**[15:30] Kukuru**
Wait...
**[15:32] Kukuru**
Shit!
**[15:34] Karin**
Kukuru, sorry, could you confirm
the merch once you're done there?
**[15:38] Kukuru**
Okay, got it.
**[15:43] Kukuru**
*What do I do about the sea slug exhibit?*
**[15:46] Kukuru**
*I have to do something.*
**[15:59] Kukuru**
Oh, Kai, it's you.
**[16:01] Kai**
For you.
**[16:02] Kukuru**
Thanks.
**[16:04] Kukuru**
Are you on late shift?
**[16:05] Kai**
Yeah.
**[16:06] Kai**
I'm taking a short break.
**[16:10] Kai**
Hey...
**[16:11] Kukuru**
Yeah?
**[16:12] Kai**
Is there anything I can do?
**[16:15] Kai**
You have too much to do by yourself.
**[16:17] Kai**
If there's anything I can help with,
let me know.
**[16:19] Kukuru**
Let me think...
**[16:22] Kukuru**
There is!
**[16:45] Kai**
Sorry.
**[16:45] Kukuru**
No, I feel better.
**[16:47] Kukuru**
I'll go check on the sea slugs.
**[16:49] Kukuru**
Thanks, Kai!
**[16:52] Kai**
I guess I should get to work, too.
**[16:59] Kukuru**
It's no good.
**[17:00] Kukuru**
It isn't shrinking.
**[17:05] Kukuru**
If they don't eat this one,
I'll have to try sea moss.
**[17:09] Kukuru**
And if that doesn't work...
**[17:14] Kaoru**
Are they not eating?
**[17:18] Kaoru**
We'll have to do the exhibit
without feeding them.
**[17:20] Kukuru**
I won't do it without feeding!
**[17:22] Kaoru**
They aren't eating right now as it is.
**[17:26] Kukuru**
But we might stress them out even
more if we present them like this.
**[17:30] Kukuru**
It'll be cruel to the sea slugs!
**[17:32] Kaoru**
Cruel?
**[17:34] Kaoru**
What do you think aquariums exist for?
**[17:38] Kaoru**
We capture animals, trap them in tanks,
**[17:41] ---**
and have people look at them.
**[17:43] Kaoru**
That's what an aquarium is.
**[17:45] Kaoru**
If you care about the animals' happiness,
aquariums shouldn't exist.
**[17:50] Kaoru**
Am I wrong?
**[17:51] Kukuru**
That might be true,
**[17:54] ---**
but I want a lot of people
to see them and learn about them.
**[17:57] Kaoru**
That's contradictory.
**[17:58] Kukuru**
Then why do you think
they exist, Shimabukuro-san?
**[18:02] Kaoru**
To protect the planet.
**[18:06] Kaoru**
We study aquatic animals and present
and exhibit the results of our research.
**[18:11] Kaoru**
The main objective is to have people
understand the wonders of life.
**[18:16] Kaoru**
I believe aquariums are the gateway to that.
**[18:20] Kaoru**
How do we coexist with the natural
world and all the creatures in it?
**[18:24] Kaoru**
Isn't that what's most important?
**[18:28] Kaoru**
What do you intend to do
if we don't find food for this guy?
**[18:32] Kukuru**
I'll take it back to the water.
**[18:34] Kaoru**
That's irresponsible.
**[18:35] Kaoru**
You brought it here, so it's your responsibility
to take care of it until the end.
**[18:39] Kukuru**
But I can't watch it grow weaker!
**[18:41] Kaoru**
You were the one who brought
it here in the first place.
**[18:43] Kukuru**
That's why I'll take
responsibility and take it back.
**[18:46] Kaoru**
This isn't just about the sea slug.
**[18:47] Kukuru**
I want to save it first!
**[18:49] Kaoru**
You're being narrow-minded.
**[18:51] Kukuru**
You're too broad-minded!
**[18:52] Kaoru**
What is that supposed to mean?
**[19:02] Kaoru**
Why sea slugs?
**[19:04] Kaoru**
What's the reason?
**[19:07] Kukuru**
I like them.
**[19:08] Kaoru**
And?
**[19:09] Kukuru**
That's all.
**[19:12] Kukuru**
Sea slugs are full of mysteries.
**[19:15] Kukuru**
You wouldn't believe it,
but they're a kind of water snail.
**[19:18] Kukuru**
There's a ton of species,
and they're all different.
**[19:21] Kukuru**
Some of them camouflage.
Some of them have toxins.
**[19:24] Kukuru**
And they're just so colorful and pretty.
**[19:27] Kukuru**
I want more people to know
how interesting sea slugs are.
**[19:32] Kaoru**
I get it.
**[19:34] Kaoru**
That's why you want to do the—
**[19:35] Kukuru**
But I can't accept it!
**[19:36] Kukuru**
I won't accept not feeding them!
**[19:42] Kaoru**
All right. I get what you're saying.
**[19:44] Kaoru**
But it isn't necessarily correct.
**[19:47] Kaoru**
There is no right or wrong answer
to this problem.
**[19:51] Kaoru**
The most we can do is to think about
what the best thing to do for the animals is,
**[19:55] ---**
and to be responsible for
the answers we come up with.
**[19:59] Kaoru**
I'll help you out, if you're okay with it.
**[20:01] Kaoru**
I like thinking about animals.
**[20:05] Kukuru**
I do, too.
**[20:07] Kaoru**
We finally agree on something.
**[20:10] Kukuru**
Yeah.
***SIGN*** Sea Slug Salad Bowl Exhibit

They're so cute!
**[20:21] B**
They're gross.
**[20:23] C**

**[20:24] D**
Totally!
**[20:25] D**
I hope they have hats!
**[20:29] Karin**
What do you think, seeing them up close?
**[20:32] Akari**
I thought it'd be worse.
**[20:33] Akari**
Actually, they're cuter than I imagined.
**[20:36] Karin**
You should let Kukuru know.
**[20:39] Fuuka**
Thank goodness. There are a lot of people.
**[20:43] A**
Mom, there aren't any sea slugs.
**[20:45] B**
You're right.
**[20:46] B**
Maybe they're playing hide-and-seek.
**[20:49] Boss**
What is going on?!
**[20:50] Kukuru**
We'll put the *Tambja sagamiana* in the exhibit,
once we determine what they eat.
**[20:55] Kukuru**
Until then, we'll keep them in the back area.
**[20:57] Boss**
Their condition will be the same
either way. So present them!
**[21:00] Kukuru**
We can't.
**[21:00] Boss**
Move them immediately!
**[21:02] Kukuru**
I said we can't!
**[21:04] Boss**
Plankton!
**[21:11] Kaoru**
Looks like he wrung you dry.
**[21:14] Kaoru**
Well, not everything went as we wanted,
but I think we can call it a success.
**[21:20] Kukuru**
Right!
**[21:21] Kaoru**
By the way, do you have plans after?
**[21:24] Kukuru**
No, I don't.
**[21:26] Kaoru**
I know of a good shore.
**[21:29] Kukuru**
I'll go!
**[23:02] Kai**
Sea slugs are very picky eaters.
**[23:04] Kai**
They're difficult to raise,
so they're not well-suited for exhibits.
**[23:08] Kai**
And the reason we decided
to show them off is
**[23:12] ---**
because one of the staff
is passionate about them.
**[23:19] Eiji**
This is courtship behavior.
**[23:22] Kuuya**
Huh?
**[23:23] Kaoru**
Hey, get back to work.
**[23:25] Kaoru**
Are you listening, Kuuya-kun?
**[23:27] Kuuya**
A'ight.
**[23:29] Kuuya**
Nope. Nope. Nope. Nope.
**[23:32] Kaoru**
What's his deal?

Dunno.

Long time, Fuuka-chan.

Takeshita-sensei!
**[00:20] Garandou**
Huh, do you know each other?
**[00:22] Fuuka**
She helped us out at Gama Gama.
**[00:26] Takeshita**
Thanks for all the help
when I went into labor.
**[00:29] Fuuka**
Are you back at work?
**[00:31] Takeshita**
Yeah.
**[00:32] Takeshita**
I'm going to be working
at Tingarla, too.
**[00:35] Fuuka**
Really?
**[00:37] Garandou**
She's here to say "hi"
to the penguins team.

This is Takeshita-sensei.

Nice to meet you.

Takeshita-sensei will be working

**[00:51] Fuuka**
Looking forward to it!
**[00:54] Chiyu**
Looking forward to it.
**[00:55] Takeshita**
Huh? Have I seen you somewhere?
**[00:57] Garandou**
Is something wrong?
**[00:59] Takeshita**
No, it's nothing.
**[01:02] Garandou**
Shall we have you take a look
at the eggs, then?
**[01:05] Takeshita**
Please and thank you.
**[02:39] Takeshita**
How many days has it been?
**[02:41] Chiyu**
Today's day 35.
**[02:43] Chiyu**
We've confirmed that it's a sperm egg.
**[02:46] Takeshita**
They usually hatch in about 38 days
after they've been laid.
**[02:50] Takeshita**
It should be any day now.
**[02:52] Chiyu**
We're staying overnight?
**[02:53] Garandou**
Yeah.
**[02:54] Garandou**
It's the first baby we've had
since Tingarla opened, after all.
**[03:00] Garandou**
We want to be ready to respond overnight,
in case anything goes wrong.
**[03:05] Marina**
I'm in!
**[03:07] Marina**
I'll do it.
**[03:08] Marina**
It sounds fun, like training camp!
**[03:10] Fuuka**
You're pretty into it.
**[03:12] Garandou**
Babies are popular, so there's hope
that we can use it to draw guests.
**[03:17] Garandou**
It'll be rough, but I'm counting
on you to work together.
**[03:21] Chiyu**
Okay...
**[03:22] Takeshita**
Let me know if there's anything
you're worried about.
**[03:25] Chiyu**
Boss, a minute?
**[03:27] Chiyu**
I can't have my shift being
changed out of nowhere.
**[03:31] Takeshita**
Oh, of course.
**[03:33] Takeshita**
Can you not make it?
**[03:34] Chiyu**
Sorry, I can't stay overnight.
**[03:37] Takeshita**
All right.
**[03:38] Takeshita**
I'll put together a schedule without you.
**[03:48] Kukuru**
So cute!
**[03:50] Fuuka**
He's gotten so big!
**[03:52] Takeshita**
He just turned ten months old.
**[03:55] Takeshita**
I'm so relieved we found a nursery
he could go to this past spring.
**[03:58] Karin**
Relieved? How so?
**[04:00] Takeshita**
I do want to be with my baby,
but I wanted to work, too.
**[04:04] Karin**
He's still so young.
**[04:06] Karin**
Isn't it going to be rough?
**[04:07] Takeshita**
Of course.
**[04:09] Takeshita**
He cries every time we
leave him at the nursery.
**[04:12] Takeshita**
I have to be a monster and sprint to work.
**[04:16] Fuuka**
That sounds difficult.
**[04:18] Takeshita**
I love my work, though, so I tough it out.
**[04:21] Takeshita**
All the creatures at the aquarium
give me strength.
**[04:26] Fuuka**
I know what you mean!
**[04:28] ---**
Okay, I'm going to get going.
**[04:31] Takeshita**
I've been doing three-day weeks for a while,
so I've got a ton of work piled up.
**[04:34] Kukuru**
Okay.
**[04:35] Kukuru**
See you.
**[04:37] Takeshita**
Bye.
**[04:38] Fuuka**
Oh, yeah, Kukuru, I'm going
to be busy for a while, too.
**[04:43] Fuuka**
The egg Dorayaki-chan laid
is about to hatch soon.

Are you really all right with pushing
all that responsibility onto your juniors?

to be the most responsible.

I don't know why you can't make it,
but these shifts aren't fair.

I can't believe you don't even want to be there
when the penguin's about to be born!

breeding, even if they want to.

No, you don't!

Haebaru-san called in sick last minute.
**[08:12] Fuuka**
Marina-san doesn't have a shift today, either.
**[08:14] Kukuru**
That woman talks big all the time,
**[08:17] ---**
yet she doesn't take her shifts,
and she doesn't come to work.
**[08:19] Kukuru**
She's causing way too much trouble!
**[08:21] Akari**
Kukuru-san, it's your chance!
**[08:23] Kukuru**
For what?
**[08:24] Akari**
If you can do your work as an attendant
perfectly today in her place,
**[08:28] ---**
you might have a chance to get assigned
as an attendant at the next staff change!
**[08:31] Kukuru**
Right!
**[08:33] Kukuru**
Assistant Director, I'd like to go help
with the penguins,
**[08:37] ---**
since they don't have enough people!
**[08:38] Boss**
Denied.
**[08:39] Kukuru**
Why not?!
**[08:41] Boss**
You have your own work.
**[08:43] Kukuru**
Then you wouldn't mind if I finish my work first
and then go help with them, right?
**[08:56] Kukuru**
Sakuramochi and Dorayaki are
taking turns warming up their egg.
**[09:00] Kukuru**
Once it's close to hatching time,
**[09:02] ---**
we watch over them through cameras,
so we can avoid disturbing them.
**[09:09] Garandou**
I heard you took over commentary
for the penguins.
**[09:11] Garandou**
Thanks a lot.
**[09:12] Kukuru**
Not at all.
**[09:14] Kukuru**
If it's all right with you,
I'd like to help with the overnight shift, too.
**[09:18] Garandou**
Well, well...
**[09:19] Garandou**
I appreciate it,
but I can't ask you to do that.
**[09:22] Kukuru**
But Haebaru-san can't make it, can she?
**[09:26] Kukuru**
It'll be too hard for Fuuka and
Marina-san to run it by themselves.
**[09:29] Garandou**
It sure is great having people's backup.
**[09:33] Garandou**
Haebaru-san's really busy
with her young child, too.
**[09:39] Garandou**
Anyway, I'll go discuss it with the director.
**[09:46] Kaoru**
Huh?
**[09:49] Kaoru**
Chiyu, I thought
you were taking the day off.
**[09:51] Chiyu**
I managed to make things work.
**[09:54] Chiyu**
So I thought I'd come to work
from the afternoon.
**[09:56] Kaoru**
You're such a go-getter.
**[09:58] Chiyu**
I want to work as much as I can.
**[10:00] Kaoru**
You say that,
**[10:02] ---**
but I bet you really just didn't want
to see Misakino-san do anything to help.
**[10:07] Kaoru**
Oh, you didn't know yet?
**[10:09] Kaoru**
I heard she's taking your shift temporarily.
**[10:12] Chiyu**
I'll go ask the boss!

**[10:24] Fuuka**
Is something wrong, Kukuru?
**[10:29] Kukuru**
Well...
**[10:32] Chiyu**
What do you think you're doing?!
**[10:34] Chiyu**
Why is your name on here?
**[10:37] Kukuru**
Well...
**[10:38] Chiyu**
I never asked you to help
with attendant work!
**[10:41] Chiyu**
Stick to your own work!
**[10:42] Umi**
What's going on?
**[10:43] Fuuka**
Haebaru-san, please, calm down!
**[10:43] Kuuya**
Sounds like they're fighting again.
**[10:45] Chiyu**
Just because you think
you have some attendant experience...
**[10:47] Chiyu**
Could you please not go around
trampling on other people's turf?
**[10:50] Fuuka**
She just offered to help,
in case there weren't enough people!
**[10:54] ---**
...too.
**[10:57] Chiyu**
I want to work, too!
**[11:00] Chiyu**
Please don't take my job!
***SIGN*** Shout-Out to The Tattered
**[11:15] Garandou**
I mean... I understand
that you want to work hard.
**[11:20] Takeshita**
Hey, Haebaru-san...
**[11:21] Takeshita**
You're raising your child by yourself.
**[11:24] Takeshita**
I'm sure you're going to need the help
of the people around you.
**[11:26] Takeshita**
Why did you try to hide it?
**[11:29] Chiyu**
Because...
**[11:36] Takeshita**
Why don't you go home for today?
**[11:38] Takeshita**
You were planning
to take the day off anyway.
**[11:40] Takeshita**
Right?
**[11:41] (Flashback) A**
No, it's fine.
**[11:43] (Flashback) A**
We can find a replacement.
**[11:45] (Flashback) B**
We can't have you
skipping work all the time!
**[11:49] Takeshita**
The animals are important,
but you should take care of your child, too.
**[11:54] Chiyu**
Okay.
**[12:02] Chiyu**
Kaoru.
**[12:05] Chiyu**
Sorry I never told you.
**[12:08] Kaoru**
You don't need to apologize.
**[12:10] Kaoru**
But I wish you'd have talked to me.
**[12:13] Kaoru**
It's not good to deal
with it all by yourself.
**[12:17] Kaoru**
I'll help you out as much as I can.
**[12:20] Chiyu**
Thanks.
**[12:24] Karin**
I had no idea.
**[12:26] Akari**
To think Chiyu-san had a child...
**[12:29] Udon**
Seriously?
**[12:30] Karin**
Yeah. I was shocked.
**[12:32] Udon**
Wow, that's badass!
**[12:34] Udon**
She has a child,
and she's working her ass off.
**[12:36] Kukuru**
I feel torn.
**[12:38] Akari**
How so?
**[12:39] Kukuru**
I said a lot of terrible things to her.
**[12:43] Akari**
She couldn't blame you for that.
**[12:45] Kukuru**
Besides, I thought it'd be all right
that I took her shift.
**[12:49] Kukuru**
I didn't think she'd react like that.
**[12:51] Udon**
React how?
**[12:53] Kukuru**
She was angry.
**[12:55] Kukuru**
And frustrated with herself.
**[12:58] Kukuru**
And about to cry.
**[13:00] Kukuru**
She was actually crying.
**[13:03] Udon**
That's kind of sad.
***SIGN*** Misakino Kukuru
**[13:13] Fuuka**
*Hello? Kukuru?*
**[13:15] Kukuru**
Fuuka?
**[13:17] Fuuka**
*Yeah?*
**[13:18] Kukuru**
I've never liked Haebaru-san up to now.
**[13:24] Kukuru**
I still don't like her.
**[13:28] Kukuru**
But when I think that maybe
she's been fighting on her own
**[13:30] ---**
because she loves aquarium work...
**[13:33] Kukuru**
*I can't help but relate.*
**[13:37] Fuuka**
Yeah.
**[13:39] Kukuru**
I want to get to know
Haebaru-san a bit better.
**[13:44] Fuuka**
*Me, too.*
**[13:45] Kukuru**
So I was thinking...
**[13:47] Kukuru**
Why don't I try experiencing
the same burdens that she has?
**[13:51] Fuuka**
*"The same"?*
**[13:53] Kukuru**
I'm going to try raising a kid.
**[13:58] Takeshita**
Morning!
**[13:59] Kukuru**
Come in!
**[14:01] Takeshita**
Thanks so much for taking a half day
to look after my child.
**[14:06] Kukuru**
Not at all.
**[14:07] Kukuru**
Sorry for making such a demand.
**[14:11] Takeshita**
I can finally go to the hairdresser
now, though. Thanks!
**[14:14] Takeshita**
I don't even know how many months it's been.
**[14:17] Kukuru**
Really?
**[14:19] Takeshita**
You just don't have any free time
when you have a kid.
**[14:23] Takeshita**
Here are his diapers and milk.
**[14:24] Takeshita**
I wrote down all the small things.
**[14:27] Takeshita**
I should be back in about two hours.
**[14:29] Kukuru**
Huh? That's it?
**[14:31] Takeshita**
Bye!
**[14:33] Kukuru**
No way.
**[14:44] Kukuru**
He's so tiny and cute!
**[14:54] ---**
No way!
**[14:56] Kukuru**
There, there.
**[14:58] Kukuru**
Mommy's here!
**[15:07] Chiyu**
Miyazawa-san?
**[15:14] Fuuka**
How's your child doing?
**[15:16] Chiyu**
Okay now, I think.
**[15:18] Fuuka**
Thank goodness.
**[15:20] Chiyu**
So, what brings you here?
**[15:23] Fuuka**
I wanted to hear about you.
**[15:25] Fuuka**
I want to get to know you better.
**[15:30] Chiyu**
I don't want to talk.
**[15:32] Fuuka**
You don't have to tell me everything.
**[15:34] Fuuka**
But isn't it normal to want
to get to know your coworkers,
**[15:38] ---**
so you can help each other out more?
**[15:43] Chiyu**
Is that how Gama Gama did things?
**[15:45] Fuuka**
I'm being serious!
**[15:47] Fuuka**
Kuuya-san's helping out
with the penguins today.
**[15:52] Fuuka**
You may not like it,
**[15:54] ---**
but work is happening with the help
of the people from Gama Gama.
**[16:12] Chiyu**
I graduated when I was eighteen
**[16:14] ---**
and became an attendant,
which I've always wanted to do.
**[16:18] Chiyu**
Soon after I started work,
I got married and had my child.
**[16:22] Chiyu**
I was still young, and I still had trouble
working at the same time.
***SIGN*** Haebaru Chiyu - Off
**[16:28] Chiyu**
The people at work were cooperative at first,
but eventually they grew colder.
**[16:33] Chiyu**
In the end, I got fired,
and my family fell apart.
**[16:39] Chiyu**
I got divorced and came
back home to Okinawa.
***SIGN*** Staff wanted for large-scale aquarium opening in March, 2022!
**[16:43] Chiyu**
Right when I was getting used to being a parent,
I learned about Tingarla opening.
**[16:48] Chiyu**
I studied like crazy
and managed to get hired.
**[16:54] Chiyu**
And I decided to hide the fact
that I have a child.
**[16:58] Chiyu**
I wasn't going to lose
my dream job this time.
**[17:07] Fuuka**
I'm glad you told me.
**[17:10] Fuuka**
I think I understand a little better
why you didn't like the Gama Gama crew.
**[17:16] Chiyu**
That's right.
**[17:17] Chiyu**
I hate Misakino-san.
**[17:19] Chiyu**
She takes working
at an aquarium for granted.
**[17:23] Chiyu**
And she takes everyone
helping her out for granted.
**[17:28] Fuuka**
But just the same,
Kukuru thinks it's obvious
**[17:31] ---**
that she has to help
the people around her, too.
**[17:37] Fuuka**
She's experiencing parenting
right about now,
**[17:41] ---**
to try to understand
what you go through.
**[17:43] Chiyu**
What?
**[17:47] Fuuka**
Thank you for the coffee.
**[17:49] Fuuka**
I should get going now.
**[17:51] Fuuka**
I'm looking forward
to your return to work, Chief.
**[18:04] Takeshita**
I'm back!
**[18:06] Takeshita**
Is everything all right?
**[18:09] Kukuru**
He was crying the whole time.
**[18:12] Kukuru**
I tried holding him and everything,
but nothing worked.
**[18:14] Takeshita**
I'm sorry! It must have been difficult.
**[18:18] Takeshita**
There, there, Haru-kun.
**[18:19] Takeshita**
Mommy's here.
**[18:20] Kukuru**
It's so rough. I'm amazed
you work on top of all this.
**[18:24] Takeshita**
You mean me?
**[18:26] Takeshita**
Or Haebaru-san?
**[18:27] Kukuru**
Both of you!
**[18:30] Takeshita**
I guess this hands-on training
was useful, then?
**[18:34] Kukuru**
Yes. Very.
**[18:36] Kukuru**
Gramps said to everyone
when Gama Gama closed...
**[18:41] Kukuru**
That he wants us all
to love living things,
**[18:44] ---**
and that he wants people working
at aquariums to be kinder than anyone.
**[18:50] Kukuru**
People are living things, too.
**[18:52] Kukuru**
I want to become kinder.
**[18:57] Kukuru**
To the fish and to the
people around me, too.
**[19:10] Chiyu**
This is my son, Shizuku.
**[19:12] Shizuku**
Hello.
**[19:14] Chiyu**
I'm sorry for hiding the fact
that I had a child.
**[19:17] Chiyu**
I'm going to be causing trouble.
**[19:20] Marina**
What?! He's adorable!
**[19:24] Marina**
Why did you hide him from us?
**[19:26] Marina**
No fair!
**[19:27] Fuuka**
Chiyu-san, why don't you show
Shizuku-kun around the facility?
**[19:31] Chiyu**
I don't want to cause trouble.
**[19:33] Marina**
Don't worry about it!
**[19:35] Marina**
I'll go ask the director
for permission!
**[19:39] Chiyu**
No...
**[19:41] Fuuka**
You want to see Mom working, don't you?
**[19:45] Shizuku**
Yeah!
**[19:57] Shizuku**
Mommy, what's this?
**[19:59] Chiyu**
Rainbow mantis shrimp.
**[20:03] Shizuku**
Mommy, what's this?
**[20:10] Chiyu**
I'm sorry, Director.
**[20:12] Director**
Not at all.
**[20:15] Director**
Show him everything.
**[20:17] Director**
Shizuku-kun, your mommy
is *really* important to Tingarla.
**[20:25] Director**
She's the animals' mommy, too.
**[20:28] Shizuku**
You're awesome, Mommy!
**[20:33] Chiyu**
Thanks, Shizu-kun.
**[20:43] Shizuku**
Mommy, look! Look!
**[20:45] Shizuku**
All these fish!
**[21:01] Chiyu**
I'm sorry about the shift.
**[21:04] Kukuru**
No, I didn't realize, either.
**[21:09] Kukuru**
Haebaru-san, are you an aquarium freak?
**[21:15] Kukuru**
I am, too.
**[21:18] Chiyu**
I know that.
**[21:21] Kukuru**
Let's both work our asses off
for the creatures we love!
**[21:28] Chiyu**
Damn it. You Gama Gama people are so stuffy.
**[21:36] A**
It's started pecking!
**[22:02] ---**
Yay!

One, two...
**[00:05] Kukuru**
Do we have any this month?
**[00:07] Fuuka**
Um...
**[00:08] Fuuka**
Oh, there.
**[00:10] Kukuru**
When?
**[00:11] Fuuka**
There. Saturday.
**[00:12] Kukuru**
You're right. Nice!
**[00:14] Udon**
Who would have thought it'd be so rare
for your days off to line up?
**[00:18] Kukuru**
We never get the same days off.
**[00:21] Fuuka**
We have a lot of staff, too.
**[00:23] Fuuka**
And with early and late shifts,
it's really hard.
**[00:26] Udon**
Wait. We're closing on that day.
**[00:30] Fuuka**
Wow, you, too, Udon-chan?
**[00:33] Kukuru**
Let's all hang out together again!
**[00:35] Udon**
Sounds good!
**[00:36] Fuuka**
Oh, yeah, there's something
I've been wanting to do.
***SIGN*** Hangout Spot Kuragefuu

Yonekura Marina-san?

Oh, you're from marketing!
**[02:29] Akari**
Maeda Akari.
**[02:31] Akari**
Did you get the invitation email, too?
**[02:34] Marina**
Yeah.
**[02:35] Marina**
Is this the right room?
**[02:37] Akari**
I believe so.
**[02:39] Kukuru**
Welcome!
**[02:40] Kukuru**
You're the first ones here.
**[02:42] Fuuka**
Welcome.
**[02:43] Udon**
Come on in!
**[02:44] Marina**
Thanks for having us.
**[02:49] Marina**
I'm surprised.
**[02:50] Marina**
It's actually clean here.
**[02:52] Kukuru**
What is that supposed to mean?
**[02:54] Marina**
Your desk at work is really messy.
**[02:57] Kukuru**
That's because the assistant director
keeps giving me so much work!
**[02:59] Fuuka**
It's okay.
**[03:00] Fuuka**
Let's start with introductions.
**[03:03] Marina**
Was that an impression of Chief Garandou?
**[03:05] Fuuka**
No, it wasn't!
**[03:08] Udon**
Kukuru, please.
**[03:09] Kukuru**
Oh, sorry.
**[03:11] Kukuru**
You know Akari-chan, right?
**[03:13] Akari**
I've been to the shop a few times.
**[03:15] Kukuru**
This is the penguin attendant, Marina-san.
**[03:18] Marina**
Hi, nice to meet you.
**[03:20] Kukuru**
This is Hangout Spot Kuragefuu's
Chef Teruya Tsukimi.
**[03:25] Kukuru**
Also known as Udon-chan.
**[03:26] Marina**
I love udon.
**[03:28] Udon**
I'm training at a café called Ohana.
**[03:31] Udon**
You should come eat sometime.
**[03:32] Udon**
Although we don't serve udon.
**[03:34] Marina**
I'll be there.
**[03:35] Udon**
Thanks.
**[03:36] Udon**
I'll make some drinks.
**[03:38] Akari**
Oh, don't mind me.
I brought something.
**[03:41] Marina**
I bought some mangoes.
**[03:43] Marina**
Let's eat.
**[03:44] Kukuru**
No! Jeez!
**[03:45] Kukuru**
We called it a get-together,
but it's supposed to be a hospitality party.
**[03:49] Akari**
"A hospitality party"?
**[03:50] Fuuka**
Everyone's always working their butts off,
**[03:53] ---**
so we wanted to give them a chance
to relax and do nothing.
**[03:56] Fuuka**
We'll serve you,
so just relax to your heart's content.
**[04:01] Akari**
I'd feel bad.
**[04:03] Marina**
In that case, I'll relax!
**[04:10] Kukuru**
Come on, Akari-chan. Relax.
**[04:13] Kukuru**
Loosen up.
**[04:15] Akari**
But...
**[04:17] Udon**
Here you are.
**[04:18] Udon**
Your tropical tea.
**[04:20] Udon**
I used your mangoes, too, Marina-san.
**[04:22] Marina**
Looks good!
**[04:24] Akari**
It's so cute!
**[04:25] Udon**
What would you like for breakfast?
**[04:27] Marina**
Meat.
**[04:28] Kukuru**
In the morning?
**[04:29] Marina**
Yeah. I love meat.
**[04:31] Akari**
Do you have sandwiches or anything?
**[04:33] Udon**
Coming right up!
**[04:38] Kukuru**
That's from our aquarium.
**[04:40] Kukuru**
Although it's closed now.
**[04:41] Marina**
I know. I've been to Gama Gama before.
**[04:44] Kukuru**
Really?
**[04:45] Marina**
It was so laid-back and comfortable.
**[04:49] Marina**
It was really different from Tingarla.
**[04:51] Kukuru**
True.
**[04:53] Marina**
They're both nice aquariums.
**[04:57] Kukuru**
Why did you decide to become
an attendant, Marina-san?
**[05:01] Marina**
Because it was easy.
**[05:02] Kukuru**
It's tough being an attendant.
**[05:04] Marina**
I don't mean that.
**[05:07] Marina**
Japanese is hard.
**[05:09] Marina**
It was really hard in the beginning.
I kept miscommunicating.
**[05:13] Marina**
But you don't need words
to communicate with sea life.
**[05:17] Marina**
It was super easy.
**[05:18] Kukuru**
I know what you mean!
**[05:20] Kukuru**
What's the first animal
you had an understanding with?
**[05:23] Marina**
Squid.
**[05:24] Kukuru**
Bigfin reef squid? Purpleback flying squid?
**[05:25] Marina**
Cuttlefish!
**[05:26] Marina**
It sprayed ink on me!
**[05:28] Kukuru**
I got sprayed on, too!
**[05:31] Marina**
Buddies!
**[05:32] Akari**
Are attendants always having
conversations like that?
**[05:35] Fuuka**
They are.
**[05:37] Fuuka**
I got creeped out at first, too.
**[05:39] Akari**
Fuuka-san...
**[05:42] Akari**
You're so smooth!
**[05:44] Akari**
Kukuru-san's cheeks are nice
and plump, too.
**[05:47] Akari**
But your cheeks are beautiful, too!
**[05:50] Fuuka**
Th-Thanks.
**[05:51] Akari**
I've been looking forward to the skincare lesson
you wrote about in the invitation email.
**[05:57] Akari**
Are you going to teach us?
**[05:59] Fuuka**
Yes.
**[06:01] Fuuka**
My stylist from way back
gave me some advice.
**[06:05] Akari**
A professional stylist! Wow!
**[06:07] Marina**
What's going on?
**[06:09] Fuuka**
Would you like to get in
on the skincare lesson?
**[06:12] Marina**
Yes! I'm in!
**[06:13] Akari**
Yay!
**[06:15] Fuuka**
Well, let's go to the second house.
***SIGN*** Hospitality Spot Kuragefuu Second Home
**[06:18] Fuuka**
In order to have good skin,
**[06:20] ---**
not only do you need
to avoid sunburn,
**[06:23] ---**
but you also have to work on
keeping your skin hydrated as well.
**[06:25] Fuuka**
Choose the right toner
for your skin, apply generously,
**[06:28] Fuuka**
and let it sink in.
**[06:30] Fuuka**
The trick is to trap
the moisture in your skin.
**[06:34] Akari**
Become pretty.
**[06:36] Akari**
Become pretty.
**[06:38] Akari**
Become pretty.
**[06:45] Karin**
Hi!
**[06:46] Karin**
Sorry we're late!
**[06:48] Kuuya**
'Sup.
**[06:49] Akari**
Become pretty.
**[06:52] Akari**
Become pretty.
**[06:54] Kuuya**
Nope! Nope! Nope!
**[06:57] Kukuru**
Kuuya-san, it's nice and cold.
**[07:03] Akari**
It's so smooth!
**[07:05] Marina**
My skin's so happy.
**[07:08] Akari**
Hey, what about Kuuya-san?
**[07:10] Karin**
It's fine.
**[07:12] Karin**
He's afraid of girls.
**[07:14] Akari**
Huh.
**[07:15] Karin**
He's gotten a lot better, though.
**[07:17] Karin**
A while back,
he would have just gone home.
**[07:29] Udon**
Here you are.
**[07:32] Udon**
I hope you enjoy.
**[07:35] Marina**
Thank you!
**[07:40] Akari**
It's delicious.
**[07:41] Marina**
Awesome!
**[07:43] Akari**
I could eat these forever.
**[07:44] Marina**
It's so juicy!
**[07:47] Udon**
Could you give me some criticism, too?
**[07:49] Karin**
What do you mean?
**[07:51] Udon**
If you just tell me it's delicious,
I'm not going to be able to grow.
**[07:56] Udon**
I think it's important
to listen to negative feedback.
**[08:00] Fuuka**
Don't you ask the people at work?
**[08:03] Udon**
It gets too technical.
**[08:06] Udon**
I want some honest feedback
from customers.
**[08:09] Udon**
Please!
**[08:12] Akari**
I might prefer bite-sized sandwiches.
**[08:14] Akari**
So that I don't get my lipstick on it.
**[08:16] Udon**
I see.
**[08:18] Marina**
I think the sauce could be a bit stronger.
**[08:21] Marina**
And the meat's a bit tough.
**[08:24] Akari**
The sandwich ingredients are kinda plain.
**[08:26] Marina**
I'd like some oranges.
**[08:27] Akari**
I might get bored part way.
**[08:29] Kukuru**
The meat's kinda bleh
once it gets cold!
**[08:30] Fuuka**
You're right. It's getting dry!
**[08:32] Udon**
Stop!
**[08:34] Udon**
That's plenty!
**[08:35] Marina**
Aw, you asked.
**[08:37] Udon**
Sorry, that's as much damage
as I can take.
**[08:45] Karin**
Where are you going?
**[08:46] Kuuya**
Bathroom.
**[08:47] Kukuru**
The bathroom's there.
**[08:49] Kuuya**
That's the girl's bathroom.
**[08:51] Kuuya**
I'll go find a park.
**[08:53] Akari**
See you.
**[09:01] Marina**
This one!
**[09:03] Marina**
Yay!
**[09:05] Kukuru**
I lost again.
**[09:08] Marina**
You suck at this.
**[09:09] Fuuka**
Marina-san, are you good for time?
**[09:13] Marina**
Shoot.
**[09:15] Marina**
That was relaxing.
**[09:17] Marina**
I'm recharged for work.
**[09:20] Fuuka**
I'm glad.
**[09:21] Marina**
I'll tell Chiyu-san to drop by,
since she has the early shift.
**[09:24] Marina**
I'm sure she's starved for relaxation.
**[09:27] Marina**
See you!
**[09:28] Kukuru**
Bye.
**[09:29] Akari**
Take care!
**[09:31] Kukuru**
All right, I'm winning the next one!
**[09:55] Kukuru**
You could stay longer.
**[09:57] Udon**
Yeah. Make yourselves at home.
**[10:00] Karin**
The early shift people are coming, right?
**[10:02] Karin**
It'll get too crowded.
**[10:05] Akari**
I have some plans after.
**[10:08] Akari**
Thank you for everything today.
**[10:10] Akari**
The skincare lesson was really useful.
**[10:13] Akari**
See you soon.
**[10:14] Karin**
Bye-bye.
**[10:19] Kukuru**
What happened to Kuuya-san?
**[10:21] Udon**
I totally forgot about him!
**[10:23] Fuuka**
Maybe he went home satisfied
after he had Grams's plum wine.
**[10:29] Shizuku**
Good evening.
**[10:30] Chiyu**
Hello.
**[10:32] Kaoru**
Thanks for inviting us.
**[10:35] Kukuru**
I'm glad you came.
**[10:37] Chiyu**
You said there'd be dinner,
and that you'd babysit my son, so...
**[10:41] Kaoru**
Besides, Marina-san gave
a strong recommendation.
**[10:45] (Flashback) Marina**
You should totally go, Chiyu-san!
**[10:47] (Flashback) Marina**
You'll never have a chance
like this again.
**[10:51] Kukuru**
That much?
**[10:53] Fuuka**
We've set up a special menu
for the night shift.
**[10:56] Kaoru**
A special menu?
**[10:59] Kukuru**
Chiyu-san, you first.
Would you come to the next room?
**[11:03] Chiyu**
Okay.
**[11:05] Kukuru**
Shizu-kun, I'm going
to borrow Mommy for a bit.
**[11:08] Chiyu**
Have fun with the nice lady.
**[11:10] Shizuku**
Okay, I will. See you!
**[11:16] Kaoru**
Are those two okay by themselves?
**[11:18] Fuuka**
Kukuru just wants Chiyu-san to relax.
**[11:21] Fuuka**
Don't worry.
**[11:22] Chiyu**
Wait, no!
**[11:24] Chiyu**
I said "no"! Stop!
***SIGN*** Hangout Spot Kuragefuu
**[11:28] Chiyu**
What are you doing?
**[11:30] Kukuru**
Don't be such a sore loser.
**[11:33] Kukuru**
Hurry up and get undressed.
**[11:35] Kukuru**
You don't need to be shy.
**[11:37] Chiyu**
No, no, why should I get
undressed in front of you?
**[11:41] Kukuru**
If you don't, we can't do it.
**[11:44] Kukuru**
Aroma massage.
**[11:48] Chiyu**
Huh?
**[11:55] Kukuru**
You have such nice skin.
**[11:57] Chiyu**
I don't know how many years it's been.
**[12:01] Kukuru**
It was Fuuka's idea.
**[12:03] Kukuru**
That the scent would be comforting,
and it would help with exhaustion.
**[12:06] Chiyu**
It really does smell nice.
**[12:09] Kukuru**
It's chamemoli.
**[12:11] Chiyu**
You mean "chamomile."
**[12:14] Kukuru**
Yeah, that.
**[12:15] Kukuru**
Apparently it has a calming effect
and helps you sleep.
**[12:19] Chiyu**
I know.
**[12:20] Kukuru**
I'm sure you're tired.
**[12:22] Kukuru**
You can take a nap if you'd like.
**[12:25] Chiyu**
I'd love to do that,
but there's a bit of a problem.
**[12:31] Kukuru**
What's that?
**[12:32] Chiyu**
You suck.
**[12:34] Kukuru**
But I'm rubbing...
**[12:36] Kukuru**
Am I off?
**[12:37] Chiyu**
No, no.
**[12:38] Kukuru**
Where?
**[12:38] Chiyu**
Ow, ow, ow!
**[12:39] Kukuru**
Here?
**[12:40] ---**
Wait! No!
**[12:41] ---**
Here? It's here!
**[12:44] Kukuru**
This is so nice.
**[12:47] Kukuru**
I'm sorry.
**[12:49] Chiyu**
I knew it.
You don't have any knots at all.
**[12:52] Chiyu**
Most people who don't get knots
suck at giving massages.
**[12:56] Kukuru**
I used to rub my Gramps and Grams's
shoulders a lot when I was a kid, though.
**[13:00] Kukuru**
They were both happy.
**[13:03] Chiyu**
They were being nice.
**[13:05] Chiyu**
They adore their grandkid.
**[13:06] Kukuru**
Is that really it?
**[13:09] Kukuru**
That's why he had the massager!
**[13:13] Kukuru**
Even though I was massaging his back
all the time, one day, he'd bought a massager.
**[13:19] Kukuru**
Could he not take my shoulder rubs anymore?
**[13:24] Chiyu**
Only Grams and Gramps know the truth, huh?
**[13:27] Chiyu**
There, done.
**[13:29] Kukuru**
Sorry, I'll do it again!
**[13:31] Chiyu**
It's fine.
**[13:32] Chiyu**
I'm better off doing it myself.
**[13:34] Kukuru**
Please don't say that!
**[13:36] Kukuru**
Hospitality is...
**[13:39] Kaoru**
Is everything all right?
**[13:40] Chiyu**
Nice timing.
**[13:42] Chiyu**
You should do Kaoru next.
**[13:44] Chiyu**
I need to check on Shizuku anyway.
**[13:47] Chiyu**
It's lots of fun.
**[13:49] Kaoru**
What's going on?
**[13:51] Kukuru**
Get undressed.
**[13:53] Kukuru**
Aroma massage.
**[13:56] Kaoru**
I'll pass.
**[13:57] Kaoru**
I don't like wriggling sensations.
**[13:59] Kukuru**
It's all right.
**[14:00] Kukuru**
I'll give it everything I've got.
**[14:02] Kaoru**
That's not the point.
**[14:05] Kukuru**
Please!
**[14:11] Eiji**
Is that a seal?
**[14:13] Kai**
Huh?
**[14:14] Eiji**
It can't be.
**[14:18] Eiji**
Isn't that...
**[14:26] Eiji**
Based on my observations,
this is the common work senpai.
**[14:31] Kai**
Seriously?
**[14:34] Kuuya**
Nope. Nope. Nope.
**[14:36] Fuuka**
Look at all the stars.
**[14:38] Fuuka**
It's so quiet that it's almost lonely.
**[14:42] Kuuya**
'Sup!
**[14:44] Udon**
Huh?
**[14:45] Udon**
Kuuya-san, I thought you went home.
**[14:47] Kai**
We captured him over there.
**[14:48] Kai**
He seems to have ran out of strength
on his way back here.
**[14:51] Kuuya**
I can finally drink with the boys.
**[14:53] Kuuya**
Let's get started!
**[14:55] Udon**
He's like a different person.
**[14:57] Udon**
He's revived now, with the guys here.
**[15:00] Kuuya**
Let's drink.
**[15:01] Eiji**
Pardon us.
**[15:03] Kai**
Where is she?
**[15:04] Udon**
Beauty treatments in Fuuka's room with Kaoru-san.
**[15:07] Udon**
She might be butt naked
right about now.
**[15:09] Kai**
What?
**[15:11] Kai**
I'm borrowing the kitchen.
**[15:12] Udon**
Oh, I'll...
**[15:14] Kai**
It's fine.
**[15:18] Udon**
Not bad.
**[15:20] Udon**
I guess you're a fisherman's kid, after all.
**[15:23] Shizuku**
What's this?
**[15:25] Eiji**
It's a takoyaki grill.
**[15:27] Eiji**
There was someone from Kansai
in my seminar class, so I've mastered grilling.
**[15:31] Fuuka**
This is my first time at a takoyaki party.
**[15:33] Eiji**
This isn't just an ordinary takoyaki party.
**[15:35] Eiji**
We'll take the opportunity
to turn it into a game.
**[15:38] Eiji**
I call it...
**[15:39] Eiji**
"It's a takoyaki, but it's not octopus?!
**[15:42] Eiji**
Get it right, and you're
the king of the aquarium!"
**[15:45] Eiji**
Puff puff!
**[15:48] Kuuya**
Here we go!
**[15:50] Eiji**
The rules are simple.
**[15:51] Eiji**
Eat a takoyaki and guess what's inside.
**[15:54] Eiji**
It'll be a test of your understanding
and love of sea life.
**[15:59] Chiyu**
Love?
**[16:00] Fuuka**
I'm not sure I'll get it.
**[16:01] Eiji**
All right, for round one...
**[16:03] Kuuya**
I'm up!
**[16:04] Kuuya**
Shizu-kun, let's team up.
**[16:06] Shizuku**
Okay.
**[16:07] Kuuya**
We're up against Eiji-kun.
**[16:10] Kuuya**
I've always wanted to do a marine-life
quiz-off against Eiji-kun.
**[16:13] Eiji**
No, I'm the host.
**[16:15] Kai**
Why not? He's challenging you.
**[16:18] Udon**
Okay, put on your blindfolds.
**[16:20] Eiji**
Are you serious?
**[16:23] Kuuya**
I can do it myself.
**[16:47] Chiyu**
Wow.
**[16:48] Udon**
Not bad.
**[16:50] Kai**
Okay, first question.
**[16:51] Kai**
What's this?
**[16:53] Fuuka**
Here.
**[17:02] Kuuya**
What's this?
**[17:04] Kuuya**
Can you guess?
**[17:06] Shizuku**
Fish?
**[17:08] Kuuya**
Good job.
**[17:09] Kuuya**
Which fish?
**[17:11] Eiji**
Oh! It's mackerel!
**[17:12] Kuuya**
Nope, it's not just any mackerel.
**[17:15] Kuuya**
Cured mackerel.
**[17:16] Kai**
Cured mackerel! Correct!
**[17:18] Shizuku**
Wow.
**[17:20] Kai**
Moving on, question number two.
**[17:28] Kuuya**
Flying fish roe?
**[17:29] Eiji**
No.
**[17:30] Eiji**
Based on my analysis...
**[17:32] Eiji**
These are sea grapes!
**[17:34] Kai**
Bingo!
**[17:34] Kai**
Sea grapes.
**[17:36] Kuuya**
I'll get the next one!
**[17:38] Eiji**
You aren't beating me.
**[17:39] Shizuku**
The salmon's yummy.
**[17:41] Chiyu**
No fair.
**[17:42] Chiyu**
Leave some for Mommy.
**[17:44] Shizuku**
Say "ah."
**[17:45] Eiji**
What happened to the game?
**[17:47] Kuuya**
It was a serious battle.
**[17:49] Chiyu**
You'll enjoy it more
if you just eat it normally.
**[17:52] Shizuku**
Yum.
**[17:53] Shizuku**
More, please!
**[17:54] Chiyu**
Right?
**[17:58] Kukuru**
We're back!
**[18:00] Kukuru**
Huh, Kai, you're here.
**[18:02] Kaoru**
It's packed.
**[18:04] Kukuru**
Scooch over.
**[18:05] Kai**
You're sitting here?
**[18:07] Kukuru**
Got a problem?
**[18:08] Kukuru**
Come on. Make some more!
**[18:10] Kai**
You're such a slave driver.
**[18:12] Kukuru**
I'm starving!
**[18:21] Kuuya**
I'm stuffed.
**[18:23] Eiji**
Aquarium King...
**[18:25] Chiyu**
Should we get going, Shizu-kun?
**[18:28] Shizuku**
I want to stay longer.
**[18:30] Chiyu**
It's bedtime soon.
**[18:32] Shizuku**
No bedtime.
**[18:33] Kukuru**
How about some fireworks to end with?
**[18:36] Fuuka**
Let's go home after fireworks, okay?
**[18:39] Shizuku**
Okay!
**[18:51] Shizuku**
It's so pretty.
**[18:52] Chiyu**
Good for us, huh, Shizu-kun?
**[19:00] Kuuya**
Here.
**[19:01] Eiji**
S-So dull...
**[19:06] Udon**
Kukuru, what's up?
**[19:08] Kukuru**
I'm glad we did this.
**[19:10] Kukuru**
I think everyone enjoyed it.
**[19:12] Fuuka**
Yeah.
**[19:13] Udon**
It's thanks to your idea, Fuuka-chan.
**[19:16] Fuuka**
Nah.
**[19:17] Fuuka**
I just wanted Chiyu-san to get a bit
of a break from working so hard.
**[19:26] Udon**
And I got some valuable feedback, too.
**[19:29] Udon**
I'm going to crank out
some new menu items starting tomorrow!
**[19:32] Fuuka**
We'll be there to try it.
**[19:33] Udon**
You'd better.
**[19:34] Udon**
You two should come more often.
**[19:37] Kukuru**
We'll go once we get paid.
**[19:40] Kai**
Kuuya-san, how are you getting home?
**[19:43] Eiji**
You aren't sober yet, are you?
**[19:45] Eiji**
Do you live far?
**[19:46] Kuuya**
I live in Nanjo.
**[19:48] Eiji**
That's far.
**[19:48] Kai**
You should move.
**[19:50] Kuuya**
I can bike to work.
**[19:53] Kuuya**
My Grams' got bad legs,
so I can't leave her behind.
**[19:56] Kai**
You're kind, huh?
**[19:58] Kuuya**
That's normal.
**[20:00] Eiji**
No, I didn't expect that from you.
**[20:02] Kuuya**
What do you mean by that?
**[20:04] Eiji**
When should we do takoyaki again?
**[20:06] Kuuya**
We need to settle the score.
**[20:10] Umi**
Fireworks!
**[20:12] Umi**
Youth, eh?
**[20:13] Kukuru**
Umi-yan, you're late.
**[20:15] Kukuru**
We were waiting for you.
**[20:16] Umi**
I figured the young'uns would prefer
to be by themselves.
**[20:20] Umi**
Here's a gift.
**[20:22] Kukuru**
Thanks!
**[20:24] Umi**
The missus sent me some
from the islands.
**[20:28] Udon**
You're married, Umi-yan?
**[20:30] Umi**
Yeah.
**[20:32] Udon**
A mystery of the universe...
**[20:33] Fuuka**
Huh? Chief Garandou.
**[20:36] Umi**
He had a lot to get off his chest.
**[20:38] Umi**
I was hearing him out.
**[20:40] Umi**
Oh, yeah.
**[20:42] Umi**
Kuuya, want a ride?
**[20:44] Kuuya**
Godly!
**[20:45] Kuuya**
Thanks!
**[20:47] Kukuru**
Want to call it a day?
**[20:49] Fuuka**
Okay.
**[20:58] Kai**
See you.
**[20:59] Kaoru**
Bye.
**[20:59] Umi**
Later.
**[21:00] Kukuru**
Bye-bye.
***SIGN*** Morning, how are things?
We're getting set up.
You can come in whenever!
Gotcha! I'm on my way!
Sorry I didn't clean up the kitchen!
I left a reward in the fridge <3
by Udon-chan
**[21:11] Kukuru**
A reward?!
**[21:15] Fuuka**
When did she do that?
**[21:17] Fuuka**
Let's eat!
**[21:22] Kukuru**
It's so good!
**[21:23] Fuuka**
Bliss!
**[21:33] Fuuka**
Sorry, I just remembered something.
**[21:35] Kukuru**
What?
**[21:36] Fuuka**
I didn't think Kaoru-san would
hate massages so much.
**[21:39] Kukuru**
Yeah, I didn't think she'd be so against it.
**[21:43] Kukuru**
Haebaru-san told me I sucked, too.
**[21:46] Kukuru**
Marina-san's squid story
was surprising, though!
**[21:49] Fuuka**
So was Eiji-san's battle cry.
**[21:51] Fuuka**
I didn't expect him to do "puff puff."
**[21:54] Kukuru**
Huh? Say what?
**[21:55] Fuuka**
So, when we were doing takoyaki,
**[21:58] ---**
Eiji put on this proper face and started talking
about an aquarium king quiz
**[22:02] ---**
and saying "puff puff" and stuff.
**[22:04] Kukuru**
Say what?

**[00:03] Fuuka**
It's growing healthy.
**[00:05] Kukuru**
So cute!
**[00:08] Akari**
Kukuru-san, lunch break is almost over.
**[00:12] Kukuru**
Oh, okay.
**[00:14] Kukuru**
See you, Fuuka.
**[00:15] Fuuka**
Yeah.
**[00:16] Fuuka**
Bye-bye.
**[00:32] Akari**
Kukuru-san, do you still want
to work as an attendant?
**[00:35] Kukuru**
Why?
**[00:37] Akari**
I mean... You were looking at the fish
with your eyes glistening.
**[00:42] Kukuru**
I'm going to focus
on marketing work for now.
**[00:46] Kukuru**
I'm going to focus...
***SIGN*** All staff welcome!!
***SIGN*** Submit a big event idea!
***SIGN*** Hope we get lots
***SIGN*** Gain more fans of Tingarla's creatures!
**[00:48] Akari**
She said it twice.
**[02:22] Boss**
Maeda-kun, your plan's been accepted.
**[02:25] Akari**
Huh?
**[02:26] Akari**
The director was thoroughly impressed
with your idea to have the staff cosplay as fish.
**[02:31] Kukuru**
Nice!
**[02:32] Akari**
No way.
**[02:33] Boss**
Kudaka-kun, Plankton, you two take charge
of setting up the cosplay event.
**[02:38] Karin**
Okay.
**[02:39] Boss**
Choose a representative from each department,
assemble an executive team, and prepare—
**[02:43] Kukuru**
Just a second!
**[02:44] Boss**
What?
**[02:45] Kukuru**
I think Maeda-san should take charge,
since it's her idea.
**[02:49] Boss**
Maeda-kun's a part-timer.
**[02:51] Boss**
I can't have her do so much.
**[02:52] Kukuru**
I don't think it matters
that she's part-time!
**[02:55] Boss**
Plan a meeting for the event immediately.
**[02:58] Boss**
That's all from me.
**[03:05] Kukuru**
This doesn't make sense.
**[03:06] Akari**
It's fine.
**[03:08] Kukuru**
No, it's not.
**[03:09] Akari**
I really don't mind.
**[03:11] Kukuru**
But...
**[03:13] Kukuru**
It's hard work making your
own plan come to life,
**[03:17] ---**
but when you're done,
you don't even remember the hardships.
**[03:20] Kukuru**
You just end up happy
having done it.
**[03:23] Kukuru**
Of course, I'll have your back
all the way!
**[03:26] Akari**
But...
**[03:27] Kukuru**
I really love your idea!
**[03:31] Kukuru**
The staff members dress up as fish,
and the guests guess the names of the fish.
**[03:36] Kukuru**
If they get it right,
they get a fishy sticker,
***SIGN*** Fishy Stickers
**[03:40] ---**
and once they've collected them all,
they get a gift.
**[03:42] Kukuru**
We can get them interested in fish
in a way that they'll enjoy.
**[03:45] Kukuru**
It's a great idea!
**[03:49] Karin**
Do you cosplay as a hobby, Akari-chan?
**[03:52] Akari**
No, not at all.
**[03:53] Akari**
I just kinda came up with the idea
when I saw that hat.
**[03:57] Karin**
Oh, I see.
**[03:59] Akari**
So I really didn't have any deep thoughts
**[04:03] ---**
about getting people
to like animals or anything.
**[04:06] Akari**
I'm just a part-timer.
**[04:07] Akari**
It's not as if I'm enthusiastic about it,
so don't worry about me.
**[04:11] Akari**
I'm not obsessed with aquariums
the way you are, either.
**[04:16] Akari**
Okay, that's the end of my day.
**[04:18] Akari**
Good work, everyone.
**[04:21] Karin**
Good work.
**[04:22] Kukuru**
Good work.
**[04:24] Karin**
We don't have too much time.
**[04:25] Karin**
Let's contact all the departments and
get started with planning meetings tomorrow.
**[04:30] Kukuru**
Okay.
**[04:36] Kukuru**
Do you think I was being too pushy?
**[04:39] Fuuka**
Akari-chan isn't the type
to take it that way.
**[04:43] Kukuru**
Yeah...
**[04:44] Kukuru**
Akari-chan isn't working at the aquarium
because she's particularly interested in it.
**[04:49] Fuuka**
Yeah.
**[04:50] Kukuru**
I thought she was starting
to like it a little, though.
**[04:55] Kukuru**
So I wanted to honor
her cosplay event idea.
**[04:59] Fuuka**
I didn't especially like aquariums
in the beginning, either.
**[05:03] Kukuru**
You're right.
**[05:05] Fuuka**
But after a while,
**[05:07] ---**
I started to enjoy taking care of the sea life
and seeing the guests smile.
**[05:12] Fuuka**
And I started wanting
to stay at the aquarium.
**[05:15] Kukuru**
Yeah.
**[05:16] Fuuka**
I think most people don't find work
because it's what they love, the way you do.
**[05:25] Kukuru**
What I love? Well...
**[05:32] Kukuru**
Can I vent a little?
**[05:34] Fuuka**
Go ahead.
**[05:38] Kukuru**
I want to do attendant work!
**[05:45] Kukuru**
Venting over.
**[05:46] Kukuru**
Thanks for hearing me out.
**[05:48] Fuuka**
Yeah.
**[05:50] Kukuru**
The goal of the event is
to gain more fans of Tingarla, right?
**[05:56] Kukuru**
I want Akari-chan to like the animals
even just a little more.
**[06:01] Fuuka**
You're right.
**[06:15] Karin**
Akari-chan, could you take this
to the shop?
**[06:19] Karin**
It got delivered here by mistake.
**[06:21] Akari**
Got it.
**[06:26] Umi**
Good job, Kaoru-chan.
**[06:28] Umi**
The guests loved it.
**[06:31] Umi**
The whiteys were especially eager today, huh?
**[06:35] Kaoru**
They must be getting used
to underwater feeding.
**[06:38] Kaoru**
I hope the sand tiger sharks become popular.
**[06:41] Umi**
They're pretty dull.
**[06:42] Umi**
Even though they're really cute.
***SIGN*** Cosplay Event Meeting Agenda

**[06:46] Marina**
Hey, hey, how about mermaids?
**[06:51] Kukuru**
Mermaids, huh?
**[06:53] Marina**
Yeah.
**[06:54] Marina**
Like these!
**[06:57] A**
That's not the kind of cosplay
we're doing, is it?
**[06:59] A**
We're wearing fish costumes,
aren't we?
**[07:01] B**
That's my understanding.
**[07:03] Kukuru**
Yes, that's right.
**[07:05] Marina**
Oh, come on!
**[07:07] Kaoru**
I don't think that fits
the goal of the project.
***SIGN*** Cosplay Event Meeting
***SIGN*** Theme: Let's get people
to appreciate the critters at Tingarla!
**[07:10] A**
Are you sure that's not just something
you want to do, Marina-san?
**[07:14] Marina**
That's right!
**[07:15] Kaoru**
She admitted it.
**[07:16] Marina**
As a kid, I always wanted
to become a mermaid when I grew up.
**[07:21] Marina**
I'm sure it'll be a hit!
**[07:24] Kukuru**
That might be good.
**[07:27] Kukuru**
I think it'll get more people's
attention on the animals
**[07:29] ---**
if the whole event is more interesting.
**[07:32] Kukuru**
It should achieve the goal
of the project, too.
**[07:34] Marina**
Right?
**[07:35] B**
But don't you think having mermaids
among all the fish is a bit out of left field?
**[07:39] Karin**
Then how about we have all kinds
of ocean-related cosplay and not just mermaids?
**[07:45] Marina**
Awesome!
**[07:46] A**
That might work.
**[07:48] B**
That might be fun for the customers.
**[07:50] Kukuru**
What do you think, Maeda-san?
**[07:53] Akari**
Huh?
**[07:53] Kukuru**
It won't be exactly what
we had in mind in the beginning.
**[07:56] Akari**
Oh, right.
**[07:57] Akari**
Sea-themed cosplay. Right.
**[08:01] Kaoru**
Can it be anything as long as
it has to do with the sea?
**[08:03] Marina**
Is there something you want
to cosplay as, Kaoru-san?
**[08:07] Marina**
What is it?
**[08:09] B**
I think you'd look awesome
in cosplay, Kaoru-san.
**[08:15] Karin**
Let's get the cosplay event details
out of the way.
**[08:18] Kukuru**
Okay.
**[08:18] Karin**
We need to order costumes
and stickers and stuff, too.
**[08:21] Karin**
We're going to be busy.
**[08:23] Kukuru**
It's Udon-chan.
**[08:24] Karin**
What's she saying?
**[08:25] Kukuru**
She says she used our feedback the other day
to improve the menu items.
**[08:28] Kukuru**
She wants us to come try it out.
**[08:30] Karin**
Want to swing by
on our way home today?
**[08:32] Kukuru**
I can't go today.
**[08:34] Kukuru**
The assistant director asked me
to prepare the documents.
**[08:38] Karin**
Ah.
**[08:39] Karin**
Want to come with me, then, Akari-chan?
**[08:43] Akari**
Okay.
**[08:50] Udon**
I changed the flavoring and stuff.
**[08:52] Udon**
They said they'll put it on the
restaurant menu if it turns out good.
**[08:56] Akari**
That's amazing!
**[08:58] Udon**
It's thanks to all of you.
**[09:00] Udon**
I'd appreciate it if you can give me
your opinions again.
**[09:03] Akari**
Okay.
**[09:04] Udon**
Take your time.
**[09:05] Karin**
Let's dig in, then.
**[09:07] Akari**
Okay.
**[09:08] Akari**
Thanks for the food.
**[09:13] Akari**
She made the sandwiches easier to eat.
**[09:17] Karin**
It's cuter looking than before, too.
**[09:21] Akari**
Do you think I did something wrong
to Kukuru-san?
**[09:25] Akari**
I turned her down after she offered
to let me lead the project.
**[09:29] Akari**
I thought you invited me today
to talk about that.
**[09:34] Karin**
No way.
**[09:36] Karin**
I just felt like chatting
over some good food.
**[09:41] Akari**
Okay.
**[09:43] Karin**
You've been working with us
quite a bit, Akari-chan.
**[09:46] Karin**
Are you able to keep up with college?
**[09:49] Akari**
I manage to make things work.
**[09:51] Akari**
I even find time
to hang out with friends.
**[09:53] Karin**
All right.
**[09:55] Udon**
Recommendations? Well, then...
**[09:58] Udon**
The Ohana Barbecue set comes with a sauce
that has plenty of pineapple!
**[10:03] Udon**
Give it a try!
**[10:05] A**
One of those, then.
**[10:06] Udon**
Thank you!
**[10:08] Akari**
I've only ever watched
at the cultural festivals and stuff at school.
**[10:12] Akari**
I never participate.
**[10:13] Karin**
Really?
**[10:15] Akari**
You switched jobs because you wanted
to work at an aquarium, right?
**[10:20] Karin**
Yeah.
**[10:20] Karin**
It was my dream to become
an attendant since I was a kid.
**[10:25] Akari**
I don't have any preferences of any sort.
**[10:30] Akari**
So there isn't any particular job
that I want to do, either.
**[10:33] Udon**
Here's your Piña Colada and Blue Hawaii.
**[10:51] Eiji**
For the fish to cosplay as,
**[10:54] ---**
I've chosen the sand tiger shark,
giant manta ray, green sea turtle,
**[10:57] ---**
amethyst anthias, pyramid butterflyfish,
moon jellyfish, flashlight fish,
***SIGN*** Giant manta ray
***SIGN*** Green sea turtle
***SIGN*** Amethyst anthias

***SIGN*** Four-stripe damselfish
**[11:01] ---**
and the four-stripe damselfish.
**[11:04] Kaoru**
Looks good.
**[11:06] Eiji**
Great.
**[11:07] Eiji**
I'm glad I worked on it with Kai-kun.
**[11:09] Kaoru**
Thanks, both of you.
**[11:11] Kai**
Not at all.
**[11:12] Eiji**
We of the fish team would like
to be the ones to dress up.
**[11:18] Kaoru**
About that...
**[11:20] Eiji**
May we not?
**[11:21] Kaoru**
Actually, I want to ask you guys for a favor.
**[11:28] Eiji**
Urashima Tarou?
**[11:30] Kaoru**
Yeah.
**[11:31] Kaoru**
I want the whole fish team
to do Urashima Tarou cosplay.
**[11:38] Kuuya**
Pass.
**[11:39] Umi**
Tell us, Kaoru-chan!
**[11:42] Kaoru**
I loved the story
of Urashima Tarou as a kid.
***SIGN*** Urashima Tarou
**[11:46] Kaoru**
I wanted to go to Ryugu Castle.
**[11:49] Kaoru**
That's how I started wanting
to work at an aquarium.
**[11:55] Kuuya**
Uh...
**[11:56] Kuuya**
What does that have to do
with cosplaying?
**[11:59] Kaoru**
I thought it might be a good way
to get kids hooked on fish.
**[12:05] Umi**
You're Urashima Tarou, then, Kaoru-chan.
**[12:07] Kaoru**
So you're on board?
**[12:09] Eiji**
I'd like to be a flashlight fish
instead of a seabream.
**[12:13] Eiji**
I think Kai-kun should be
a pyramid butterflyfish.
**[12:16] Kai**
Why, though?
**[12:16] Umi**
Kuuya would be a green sea turtle.
**[12:20] Kaoru**
Which would mean that Umi-yan-san is...
***SIGN*** When The Light Shines
**[12:28] Umi**
Oh, crap...
***SIGN*** When The Light Shines
**[12:40] Kukuru**
The mermaid costumes arrived.
**[12:42] Kukuru**
Could we take a look?
**[12:43] Marina**
Okay!
**[12:45] Marina**
Let's try them on later.
**[12:47] Fuuka**
Okay.
**[12:49] Fuuka**
Wow.
**[12:50] Fuuka**
Are we actually wearing those?
**[12:52] Marina**
Of course.
**[12:54] Chiyu**
I'm not wearing that.
**[12:56] Marina**
All three of us should wear it.
**[12:58] Chiyu**
No.
**[12:59] Chiyu**
Shizuku's coming.
**[13:00] Chiyu**
I can't be dressed like that.
**[13:03] Marina**
Shizu-kun's coming!
**[13:05] Marina**
Yay!
**[13:07] Chiyu**
He says he's going to
**[13:08] ---**
get everything on the quiz right
and win tons of fishy stickers.
**[13:12] Kukuru**
Really?
**[13:14] Kukuru**
All right, let's make it good.
**[13:21] Akari**
Shimabukuro-san.
**[13:23] Akari**
I put the costumes for the event
in the attendants' room.
**[13:26] Akari**
Could you take a look later?
**[13:28] Kaoru**
Got it.
**[13:30] Akari**
The fish look as good as ever.
**[13:33] Kaoru**
I'm not sure about that.
**[13:35] Kaoru**
Animals often hide it
when they're not feeling well.
**[13:39] Kaoru**
We have to keep our eyes open
for the slightest changes.
**[13:43] Kaoru**
I always worry that they might die
before I notice.
**[13:52] Akari**
I delivered the costumes
to Shimabukuro's fish team.
**[13:55] Karin**
Thanks.
**[13:57] Karin**
Look, look.
**[13:58] Akari**
Pirates, huh?
**[14:00] Karin**
I thought I'd wear this.
**[14:02] Akari**
Looks good.
**[14:03] Karin**
You should dress up with us.
**[14:05] Akari**
I'll pass.
**[14:07] Karin**
Yeah?
**[14:11] Karin**
I have to clean all this up.
**[14:14] Karin**
That's your day, Akari-chan.
**[14:15] Akari**
Right.
**[14:16] Akari**
Good work today.
**[14:18] Karin**
Good work.
***SIGN*** Teruya Tsukimi
**[14:33] Akari**
Yes?
**[14:34] Udon**
*Hello, Akari-chan?*
**[14:36] Udon**
*Do you have a minute?*
**[14:37] Akari**
Yes.
**[14:38] Akari**
I just got off work.
**[14:40] Udon**
* They're putting my sandwich*
* on the menu!*
**[14:44] Akari**
Really?
**[14:45] Udon**
* I got approval for something*
* I came up with for the first time.*
**[14:49] Udon**
* It's all thanks*
* to the advice you gave me.*
**[14:50] Udon**
It's all thanks
to the advice you gave me.
**[14:52] Udon**
Thanks.
**[14:54] Akari**
*Nah.*
**[14:55] Akari**
*Hey, Tsukimi-san...*
**[14:57] Akari**
I guess work gets complicated,
even if you're doing what you love, huh?
**[15:02] Akari**
I've always thought that people
who do what they love are all just having fun.
**[15:08] Akari**
But I guess
**[15:09] Akari**
*it's not all fun.*
**[15:12] Udon**
I guess.
**[15:14] Udon**
It can get pretty miserable.
**[15:18] Akari**
Thank you.
**[15:21] Akari**
I'll come by the shop
sometime again.
**[15:24] Udon**
*Sure.*
**[15:25] Udon**
*Bye.*
**[15:30] Akari**
Of course.
**[15:33] Akari**
Of course it would.

Hello.
**[15:55] Akari**
I brought the stickers
to hand out to guests tomorrow.
**[15:59] A**
Thank you.
**[16:01] A**
Tomorrow's the day, huh?
**[16:02] Akari**
Yes.
**[16:03] Garandu**
What? I'm a sand tiger shark?
**[16:06] Kukuru**
Yes.
**[16:07] Garandu**
All right, all right.
Sounds good.
**[16:10] Garandu**
See you tomorrow.
**[16:11] Kukuru**
See you then.
**[16:13] Akari**
I've delivered them.
**[16:15] Kukuru**
Thanks!
**[16:17] Karin**
Kukuru.
**[16:18] Karin**
They're telling me they still
haven't gotten the fishy stickers.
**[16:22] Kukuru**
Oh, no!
**[16:23] Kukuru**
I left my order email in the "Drafts"
folder and forgot to send it!
**[16:28] Karin**
We won't get them by tomorrow
if we order them now.
**[16:32] Kukuru**
What do we do?
**[16:33] Kukuru**
I was going to check the art
one more time before I sent it.
**[16:38] Karin**
Let's ditch the stickers.
**[16:40] Karin**
How about we switch to putting stamps
on the tickets when they get questions right?
**[16:46] Akari**
What are we going to do for stamps?
**[16:48] Karin**
I think we can avoid a lot of trouble
if we use the stamps from the shop.
**[16:52] Akari**
That's a good idea.
**[16:53] Kukuru**
They aren't the right species
of fish, though.
**[16:56] Kukuru**
Also, Chiyu-san said
Shizu-kun's looking forward to the stickers.
**[17:01] Kukuru**
I'm sure he's not the only kid who is.
**[17:04] Kukuru**
I don't want to let them down.
**[17:06] Karin**
But we won't get them
in time for tomorrow.
**[17:09] Karin**
Let's explain and try to
have them understand.
**[17:12] Kukuru**
I'm going to make them!
**[17:14] Kukuru**
I've made hand-made stickers before.
**[17:17] Kukuru**
I can get them done by tomorrow.
**[17:21] Karin**
All right.
**[17:24] Karin**
Akari-chan, the time.
**[17:26] Karin**
Didn't you have plans
with someone today?
**[17:28] Karin**
It's going to get busy tomorrow,
but we're counting on you.
**[17:31] Akari**
Right.
**[17:32] Akari**
Good work, everyone.
**[17:33] Kukuru**
Good work.
**[17:35] Kukuru**
Sorry for imposing,
but please let me do this.
**[17:38] Kukuru**
I want everyone to enjoy the event.
**[17:40] Karin**
Yeah, let's do it!
***SIGN***
***SIGN*** Sorry, something came up. Raincheck today? I promise I'll make it up to you!

**[18:08] Kukuru**
We have art assets.
**[18:09] Kukuru**
We can make the files based on these.
**[18:12] Karin**
Akari-chan?
**[18:14] Kukuru**
Did you forget something?
**[18:16] Akari**
My plans with my friend got canceled.
**[18:19] Akari**
So I'm going to help out.
**[18:22] Karin**
But...
**[18:23] Akari**
I won't have anything
to do at home anyway.
**[18:26] Akari**
It'll be a nice change of pace.
**[18:28] Akari**
I might like seeing the guests happy, too.
**[18:34] Kukuru**
Okay!
**[18:34] Kukuru**
Let's make sure they enjoy it!
**[18:37] Akari**
What should I do?
**[18:39] Kukuru**
Could you resize these assets
to fit standard paper size?
**[18:45] Akari**
Got it.
**[18:46] Karin**
We'll pay you for your time.
**[18:48] Kukuru**
I'm going to go buy the sheets!
**[19:06] Akari**
Four-stripe damselfish?
**[19:09] Kukuru**
Yup.
**[19:10] Kukuru**
See how it has four black stripes?
**[19:12] Kukuru**
There's also a two-stripe damselfish
and a three-stripe damselfish.
**[19:18] Akari**
Huh.
***SIGN*** Starting Today!
***SIGN*** Fish Cosplay Event
***SIGN*** Find the sea creatures and win a plushie!
**[19:29] A**
The aquarium staff will be dressing up
as all kinds of fish today.
**[19:34] A**
Pick them out and guess their names!
**[19:36] A**
But be careful,
because some of them aren't fish.
**[19:44] Garandu**
There, there.
**[19:47] Garandu**
I'm a peaceful shark.
**[19:49] Garandu**
You don't have to cry, do you?
***SIGN*** Ryugu Castle
**[19:57] Director**
Urashima Tarou's the best!
**[20:00] Kaoru**
Thank you.
**[20:02] Eiji**
In place of seabream and halibut,
**[20:04] ---**
we present to you the dance of the
amethyst anthias and pyramid butterflyfish.
**[20:11] Director**
Bravo!
**[20:16] ---**
Weird.
**[20:23] Director**
Nice effort!
**[20:24] Umi**
Why, thank you.
**[20:33] Fuuka**
This is kind of embarrassing.
**[20:35] Marina**
You're so cute, Fuuka!
**[20:38] Marina**
*Qué linda!*
**[20:39] Shizuku**
Mommy, you're so pretty.
**[20:41] Chiyu**
Yeah?
**[20:42] Shizuku**
Yeah.
**[20:43] Shizuku**
The Little Mermaid!
**[20:45] Fuuka**
You look good, too, Shizu-kun.
**[20:51] Kukuru**
Hello, Shizu-kun.
**[20:53] Shizuku**
Four strike dangerfish!
**[20:56] Kukuru**
Hm?
**[20:56] Kukuru**
Close enough.
**[20:57] Kukuru**
Bingo!
**[20:59] Kukuru**
Here you go, a sticker.
**[21:02] Shizuku**
Thank you!
**[21:04] Shizuku**
Mommy, a sticker!
**[21:05] Chiyu**
Good for you, Shizu-kun.
**[21:07] Shizuku**
Yeah!
**[21:09] Karin**
Staying behind late to make them
was totally worth it, huh?
**[21:12] Akari**
Yeah.
**[21:13] Akari**
Oh, look.
**[21:18] Akari**
Four-stripe damselfish.
**[21:20] Akari**
They're so cute!
**[21:25] ---**
Look!
**[21:26] Fuuka**
Looks like Tingarla
has a new marine-life fan.
**[21:44] Boss**
Is there something
you want to say to me?
**[21:46] Fuuka**
N-No...
**[23:28] Boss**
We're opening a new area
next spring to commemorate
**[23:31] ---**
the one-year anniversary
of the aquarium.
**[23:34] Boss**
You're in charge of it, Plankton.

**[00:09] Karin**
This is the film crew
from *Discovery! Creatures Galore.*
**[00:14] Karin**
They're here to take a look around
for the filming tomorrow.
**[00:17] Karin**
They wanted to say "hi" to the staff.
**[00:21] A**
Senpai!
**[00:24] A**
It's been such a long time!
**[00:27] Fuuka**
Ruka-chan!
**[01:59] Ruka**
Thanks for getting in touch with me.
**[02:02] Fuuka**
I was surprised when I heard
you were coming to Tingarla for a show.
**[02:06] Ruka**
I was so happy!
**[02:09] Fuuka**
It's not *that* big of a deal.
**[02:11] A**
You could have contacted me, too.
**[02:13] A**
That's so cold of you,
only contacting Ruka.
**[02:15] Fuuka**
Sorry.
**[02:16] B**
You're an attendant now, huh, Fuuka-chan?
**[02:20] Fuuka**
I work with Cape penguins.
**[02:22] A**
We'll be in your care tomorrow, then.
**[02:24] Fuuka**
You're getting footage
of the hatchling, right?
**[02:27] Fuuka**
You're documenting their
introduction to the pool.
**[02:31] B**
We heard they haven't been in the pool yet.
**[02:34] B**
We were thinking about focusing
on the name reveal,
**[02:38] ---**
but that would be a bit boring by itself.
**[02:41] Chiyu**
It's up to the hatchling
whether it goes into the pool, though.
**[02:45] B**
It's a documentary, after all.
**[02:48] Ruka**
They can't swim?
Even though it's a penguin?
**[02:50] Fuuka**
They're a bit timid.
**[02:52] Marina**
They're each quite different.
**[02:54] B**
Say, would it be all right
if we could get you on, too?
**[02:59] Fuuka**
On what?
**[03:00] B**
On the show, of course.
**[03:03] B**
I think if we can get
a working attendant on the show,
**[03:06] ---**
it'll draw that much more attention
to the animals.
**[03:09] Director**
That's fantastic!
**[03:12] A**
We wouldn't mind,
if it's all right with Tingarla.
**[03:16] Fuuka**
But I'm not going on TV anymore.
**[03:18] Karin**
Could you take it up with PR first?
**[03:21] Karin**
Miyazawa has some work to do, too.
**[03:25] Chiyu**
That's true.
**[03:27] Chiyu**
If you need a reporter,
I'm the chief, so—
**[03:29] Marina**
Don't worry about it!
**[03:31] Marina**
We gotta help each other out.
**[03:33] Marina**
Right, Chiyu-san?
**[03:35] Chiyu**
Y-Yeah.
**[03:37] Karin**
Crap.
**[03:38] B**
Fuuka-chan, we're begging you!
**[03:46] Ruka**
They're so cute!
**[03:48] Ruka**
This is the penguin for tomorrow, huh?
**[03:51] Fuuka**
That's right.
**[03:52] Ruka**
There, there.
**[03:53] Ruka**
Good penguin.
**[03:56] Ruka**
They ran away.
**[03:58] A**
They really are timid, huh?
**[04:01] B**
This might be tough.
**[04:03] Chiyu**
They have their new plumage already.
**[04:05] Chiyu**
They should be ready to swim any day now.
**[04:07] Marina**
I wonder if they're afraid of the pool.
**[04:10] Fuuka**
They've been hiding in the nest
this whole time.
**[04:13] Ruka**
You gotta be strong.
**[04:14] Ruka**
Or you're never going
to make it in life.
**[04:25] Boss**
Plankton.
**[04:26] Kukuru**
Yes, sir!
**[04:27] Boss**
You're supposed to be meeting with the staff
about the opening of the new area.
**[04:31] Kukuru**
If I can just have a moment. I'll be back
as soon as I get a look at the filming.
**[04:36] Boss**
Filming? For TV?
**[04:38] Kukuru**
It's been on my mind since I heard
the Yona Productions people were here.
**[04:42] Boss**
Don't tell me you want
to see an idol.
**[04:45] Kukuru**
N-No way!
**[04:47] Akari**
I saw her earlier.
**[04:49] Akari**
Ruka-chan was so cute!
**[04:52] Kukuru**
I swear it's nothing like that!
**[04:54] Kukuru**
I'm just worried about Fuuka.
**[04:55] Boss**
Worry about your own work first.
**[04:58] Boss**
I'm responsible for the project,
but you're the one in charge of it.
**[05:02] Boss**
The person in charge can't
be sitting on her ass.
**[05:05] Kukuru**
Okay.
**[05:06] Boss**
Also, tidy up your desk.
**[05:11] Akari**
I think I saw Miyazawa-san
with the TV crew.
**[05:16] Akari**
I wonder if she's going to be on TV?
**[05:21] Kukuru**
I'm going to the bathroom!
**[05:23] Boss**
Hey, Plankton!
**[05:25] Akari**
Oh, no.
**[05:30] Kai**
Kukuru.
**[05:38] Karin**
This is the largest tank at Tingarla.
**[05:41] Karin**
It takes inspiration from
the Kuroshio region near Okinawa.
**[05:45] Karin**
It's home to roughly
two thousand swimming animals,
**[05:48] Karin**
including sand tiger sharks, manta rays,
**[05:50] ---**
yellowfin tuna, giant grouper,
whitetip reef shark, and other large fish.
**[05:57] Kukuru**
Fuuka.
**[06:00] Fuuka**
Kukuru?
**[06:06] Fuuka**
What's wrong?
**[06:07] Kukuru**
Are you all right?
**[06:09] Kukuru**
You're here with the Yona Productions people,
aren't you?
**[06:12] Kukuru**
Are you okay with it?
**[06:13] Fuuka**
I'm fine.
**[06:14] Fuuka**
They wanted me to be a reporter,
but I'm going to turn them down.
**[06:20] Kukuru**
Really?
**[06:21] Fuuka**
If I wanted to go back to being an idol,
I would've taken that movie gig.
**[06:25] Kukuru**
But...
**[06:26] Fuuka**
Jeez. You worry too much, Kukuru.
**[06:30] Fuuka**
To be honest,
I'm uneasy about being on TV.
**[06:34] Fuuka**
People are going to see me and wonder
what I'm doing, not being an idol anymore.
**[06:41] Fuuka**
Never mind me...
**[06:48] Kukuru**
Fuuka?
**[06:49] Fuuka**
Sorry!
**[06:51] Fuuka**
Thanks for being concerned about me.
**[06:53] Fuuka**
Let's do some good work.
**[06:55] Kukuru**
Yeah.
**[06:58] Kuuya**
Pass.
**[06:59] Kaoru**
Sorry, but it's already set in stone
that you're going to be on TV.
**[07:03] Kaoru**
The director asked for you.
**[07:05] Kuuya**
Huh?
**[07:06] Kaoru**
Because you're one of the handsome ones.
**[07:08] Kuuya**
I mean... If they needed
someone handsome, you're...
**[07:11] Kaoru**
I'm what?
**[07:14] Kai**
Kukuru said there'd be a reward
for appearing.
**[07:18] Kuuya**
It's Grams's plum wine again, isn't it?
**[07:20] Kuuya**
She can't keep pulling that on me.
**[07:22] Kai**
I wonder if Miyazawa-san's all right, though.
**[07:25] Kai**
They had to be from Yona Productions,
of all places...
**[07:27] Kuuya**
Dunno.
**[07:29] Kuuya**
I'm sure she's fine.
**[07:39] A**
I'm sure you understand.
**[07:41] A**
We're counting on you tomorrow.
**[07:43] A**
You need to have some focus
in your career.
**[07:46] Ruka**
Okay.
**[07:48] A**
Let's take advantage
of this opportunity.
**[07:50] Ruka**
Okay.
**[07:59] Ruka**
I have to work harder.
**[08:01] Ruka**
For Senpai's sake, too.
**[08:04] (Flashback) Fuuka**
Work hard.
**[08:05] (Flashback) Fuuka**
For my sake, too.
**[08:13] Ruka**
Thank you for inviting me out.
**[08:16] Fuuka**
It's been a while, so I wanted
some quality time to catch up.
**[08:20] Fuuka**
At least, that was my hope.
**[08:22] Karin**
Nothing beats a drink after work!
**[08:25] Kuuya**
Grams's plum wine is the best!
**[08:28] Umi**
Oh man, it's actually Ruka-chan.
**[08:33] Udon**
Sorry!
**[08:34] Udon**
I thought it'd be more fun with more
people here, so I called everyone.
**[08:37] Ruka**
You all work with my senpai, right?
**[08:40] Ruka**
I'm happy to meet you.
**[08:42] Udon**
Thank goodness.
**[08:44] Udon**
Wait, where's Kukuru?
**[08:45] Kai**
Overtime.
**[08:46] Kai**
She seems especially busy lately.
**[08:49] Udon**
You sure know a lot.
**[08:51] Kai**
We work together.
**[08:53] Karin**
How was Fuuka-chan as a senior?
**[08:56] Ruka**
She was kind.
**[08:57] Ruka**
She'd join me when I was staying late
to train and stuff.
**[09:00] Fuuka**
I just wanted to train, too.
**[09:03] Karin**
You're right. She's kind.
**[09:06] Ruka**
Sometimes she'd hang around for my sake
and then end up going home even later than me.
**[09:10] Udon**
Being an idol is like
being in a sports anime, huh?
**[09:13] Umi**
She's still just as hard-working, huh?
**[09:16] Karin**
Yup, yup.
**[09:17] Karin**
Everyone's working hard,
including Fuuka-chan!
**[09:20] Karin**
I love you all!
**[09:22] Kuuya**
I love you, plum wine!
**[09:38] Fuuka**
Are you all right?
**[09:40] Fuuka**
You seemed a bit down.
**[09:45] Ruka**
I get bummed when I think about the fact
that I still haven't quite made it.
**[09:49] Ruka**
I love working as an idol, though.
**[09:52] Fuuka**
Yeah.
**[09:54] Ruka**
I'm really glad I get to be on TV
with you again, though, Senpai.
**[10:00] Fuuka**
I'm thinking of turning them down.
**[10:05] Ruka**
Why would you do that?
**[10:06] Fuuka**
I don't really feel like being on TV.
**[10:10] Fuuka**
I loved working as an idol, too.
**[10:15] Fuuka**
But the penguins are more important
to me now.
**[10:20] Fuuka**
As an attendant, your job is
to believe in animals and be there for them.
**[10:25] Fuuka**
Sometimes, you have to give them a push.
**[10:28] Fuuka**
But that seems to suit me.
**[10:31] Fuuka**
It's really fun.
**[10:33] Ruka**
Are you really...
**[10:35] Ruka**
Are you really giving up
on a career as an idol?
**[10:39] Fuuka**
Ruka-chan?
**[10:42] Ruka**
Senpai...
**[10:43] Ruka**
You worked so hard until now.
**[10:45] Ruka**
And yet...
**[10:47] Ruka**
Yet, I—!
**[10:49] Fuuka**
Ruka-chan.
**[10:59] Fuuka**
It's pretty, isn't it?
**[11:01] Fuuka**
You can see a lot of stars here
that you can't in Tokyo.
**[11:12] Ruka**
Thank you for everything today.
**[11:15] Karin**
See you tomorrow!
**[11:17] Kai**
Good night.
**[11:22] Karin**
We should get going, too.
**[11:25] Kai**
What should we do about Kuuya-san?
**[11:26] Karin**
Kai-kun, can you let him crash
at your place, please?
**[11:29] Kai**
I knew it.
**[11:30] Umi**
I hope this is a good change
of pace for Ruka-chan.
**[11:34] Umi**
She's having a hard time right now.
**[11:38] Umi**
Some of her fans are harassing her online.
**[11:41] Umi**
They're saying management favors
her too much for how talented she is.
**[11:46] Fuuka**
I never knew.
**[11:47] Umi**
You could be working your butt off,
but we fans would never see it.
***SIGN*** Goodbye, High Heels
***SIGN*** Closed
***SIGN*** We'll be back in a bit.
***SIGN*** Hours: 9 AM to 9 PM
**[12:11] Fuuka**
I'll be in your care today.
**[12:13] B**
Thanks, Fuuka-chan.
**[12:15] B**
I'm so glad you'll be on the show.
**[12:18] A**
I'm feeling encouraged.
**[12:20] Fuuka**
Let's nail it.
**[12:23] Ruka**
Okay!
**[12:25] B**
Ready...
**[12:28] B**
Action!
**[12:30] Ruka**
Hello! I'm *Discovery!
Creatures Galore* correspondent, Shiroi Ruka.
**[12:34] Ruka**
I'm here in Okinawa at Aquarium Tingarla,
which opened just this spring.
**[12:40] Ruka**
And we have a special guest
with us today.
**[12:44] Ruka**
Former member of Yona Productions,
now an attendant at Aquarium Tingarla,
**[12:49] ---**
Miyazawa Fuuka-san!
**[12:51] Fuuka**
Hello.
**[12:52] Fuuka**
Welcome to Tingarla.
**[12:54] Fuuka**
Ruka-chan and I are going to try our best
today to convey how awesome it is here.
**[12:59] Ruka**
Wow!
**[13:01] Ruka**
Look at all those fish!
**[13:03] Fuuka**
There are over 1,800 animals in this tank.
**[13:08] Ruka**
Really?
**[13:09] Ruka**
Wow.
**[13:14] Ruka**
I'm scared!
**[13:15] Ruka**
Help!
**[13:18] Eiji**
Let's learn from the splitfin flashlightfish
and communicate with light together.
**[13:30] Ruka**
Fuuka-senpai!
**[13:32] Fuuka**
Hey, look.
**[13:35] Ruka**
They're cute.
**[13:37] Kaoru**
The spotted eagle ray swims
gracefully in the water.
**[13:40] Kaoru**
But they are very cautious,
and they were very difficult to tame.
**[13:45] Ruka**
Let's eat!
**[13:48] Ruka**
The view and the food are fantastic!
***SIGN*** Stable
***SIGN*** Tare
***SIGN*** Zero
**[13:55] Marina**
3,215 grams.
**[13:58] Chiyu**
They seem to be in good health.
**[14:00] Chiyu**
I think they're ready for their appearance.
**[14:03] Marina**
I'm disappointed, though.
**[14:05] Chiyu**
About what?
**[14:06] Marina**
I wanted to be on TV!
**[14:08] Chiyu**
You might show up a bit
while you're working.
**[14:11] Marina**
Really?
**[14:13] Marina**
I'm going to record it
and show my family.
**[14:15] Chiyu**
Hopefully they get into the pool, too.
**[14:18] Marina**
You can do it!
**[14:20] Marina**
*Tú puedes!*
**[14:23] Kuuya**
Damn it! They got me.
**[14:26] Kai**
You downed all that plum wine.
**[14:29] Kaoru**
Why do I need to be
in front of the camera?
**[14:33] Kuuya**
Director's orders.
**[14:34] Kuuya**
You don't have a choice.
**[14:36] Eiji**
Maybe I should have showed off
some brackish species.
**[14:39] Kaoru**
Why don't you take that off already?
**[14:41] Kukuru**
I gathered the guest surveys.
**[14:43] Kukuru**
Take a look later.
**[14:45] Kaoru**
Thanks.
**[14:47] Kai**
Don't you want to go see the filming?
**[14:49] Kukuru**
I do!
**[14:51] Kukuru**
But...
**[14:52] Kai**
No time, huh?
**[14:55] Kai**
I wonder if Miyazawa-san's all right
with being on TV.
**[15:00] Kukuru**
She said she'd turn them down yesterday.
**[15:03] Kai**
Then...
**[15:04] Kukuru**
I think she'll be okay, though.
**[15:06] Kukuru**
I'm sure she has a plan of some sort.
**[15:10] Director**
Well then, everyone,
allow me to introduce...
**[15:14] Director**
This is the cute penguin baby!
**[15:25] Ruka**
And now, announcing the name
of the penguin...
***SIGN*** The name of the penguin baby is
***SIGN*** Shiratama-chan
**[15:29] Ruka**
Shiratama!
**[15:36] Fuuka**
We surveyed our guests for a name.
**[15:38] Fuuka**
We had over a thousand suggestions.
**[15:41] Ruka**
That many?
**[15:42] Fuuka**
All the attendants got together to choose.
**[15:45] Fuuka**
It was a close battle
until the very end.
**[15:47] Ruka**
Names are important, after all.
**[15:49] Director**
And your name is marvelous, too.
**[15:53] Director**
Shiro iruka, as in, "white dolphin"!
**[15:55] ---**
Huh?
**[15:56] ---**
"White dolphin"?
**[15:58] Ruka**
Oh, I see!
**[16:01] Ruka**
I'm the white dolphin
of the idol world, Shiroi Ruka!
**[16:06] Ruka**
Squee, squee!
**[16:16] Ruka**
J-Just kidding.
**[16:18] Director**
You've got good taste,
playing along with my puns.
**[16:35] Fuuka**
Feels nice, huh?
**[16:36] Fuuka**
I come here sometimes during my breaks.
**[16:39] Ruka**
Sorry to make you worry.
**[16:42] Ruka**
I've had so many outtakes since then.
**[16:46] Fuuka**
Everyone loses momentum sometimes.
**[16:49] Ruka**
I keep messing up.
**[16:52] Ruka**
I get too into it and ruin it.
**[16:56] Ruka**
Like, I go off on my own.
**[16:59] Ruka**
I gotta do better.
**[17:06] Fuuka**
I decided to appear
because you were there, Ruka-chan.
**[17:11] Fuuka**
Here.
**[17:22] Ruka**
They're so pretty.
**[17:24] Fuuka**
My dream was to stand on stage
in these shoes.
**[17:27] Fuuka**
I worked so hard.
**[17:29] Fuuka**
But I couldn't bring myself
to throw them out, even after I quit.
**[17:31] Fuuka**
So I put them away.
**[17:33] Ruka**
Why not?
**[17:35] Fuuka**
I thought they would give
me encouragement as an attendant.
**[17:39] Fuuka**
But I'm beyond that now.
**[17:42] Fuuka**
So if it's all right with you, I want
you to keep them as a good-luck charm.
**[17:47] Fuuka**
They might give you strength, too.
**[17:51] Ruka**
But aren't they important to you?
**[17:53] Fuuka**
You don't need to work hard for my sake.
**[17:57] Fuuka**
Work hard for Shiroi Ruka's sake.
**[18:00] Ruka**
Senpai...
**[18:08] Fuuka**
Let's work hard on the rest of the shoot.
**[18:11] Ruka**
Yeah!
**[18:30] Ruka**
Will Shiratama-chan finally
make it into the pool?
**[18:57] Fuuka**
Oh, dear.
**[18:58] Fuuka**
Maybe that was a bit scary.
**[19:01] Fuuka**
Don't do that.
**[19:02] Fuuka**
You're scaring them.
**[19:17] Ruka**
You can do it.
**[19:32] A**
They started preening.
**[19:34] B**
Come on! Jump in, please!
**[19:37] Ruka**
Oh, no...
**[19:38] Ruka**
This isn't good.
**[19:47] Fuuka**
Shall we wait for a bit?
**[19:55] Ruka**
Are they going to be all right?
**[19:57] Fuuka**
They'll be all right.
**[19:58] Fuuka**
We have to believe in them.
**[20:01] Fuuka**
That they can overcome
their fears on their own.
**[20:24] Fuuka**
Off you go.
**[20:43] B**
Thank goodness.
**[20:45] A**
Fuuka really did become an attendant, huh?
**[20:49] Chiyu**
Yeah.
**[20:50] Chiyu**
All of us in the penguin team
are proud of her.
**[20:58] Ruka**
She's so amazing.
**[21:12] Ruka**
Shiratama-chan has made their pool debut!
**[22:49] Ruka**
I thought they can't live
outside cold climates.
**[22:54] Chiyu**
Some penguins are like that,
but the penguins at Tingarla are Cape penguins.
**[22:59] Marina**
They don't even need air conditioning!
**[23:03] Umi**
She has her detractors,
**[23:06] ---**
but she also has a lot of fans
who say her enthusiasm gives them strength.
**[23:10] Kai**
I see.
**[23:13] Kukuru**
Shiratama, I'm so happy for you.
**[23:16] Fuuka**
Did you sneak out of work again?
**[23:18] Kukuru**
Fuuka!
**[23:19] Kukuru**
Good job!
**[23:21] Kukuru**
Don't tell the assistant director.
**[23:23] Kai**
How was the filming?
**[23:25] Fuuka**
It was surprisingly fun.
**[23:28] Kukuru**
You weren't an idol for nothing!
**[23:30] Fuuka**
I think I love this job.

**[00:12] Karin**
Morning.
**[00:13] Karin**
You're always here so early.
**[00:16] Kukuru**
I worked overtime, and I'm still not done.
***SIGN*** New Area Project
**[00:21] Kukuru**
The species list isn't set yet.
**[00:23] Kukuru**
And I haven't finished
the schedule chart, either.
**[00:26] Kukuru**
I have to write a compensation report, too.
**[00:28] Karin**
Jeez.
**[00:30] Karin**
That new area project has you swamped.
**[00:35] Kukuru**
Why me?
**[00:36] Kukuru**
It would have gone more smoothly
if he'd picked someone more capable, like you!
**[00:41] Karin**
It's an opportunity.
**[00:43] Karin**
Try to learn from it.
**[00:45] Kukuru**
No, I just know the assistant
director is messing with me.
**[00:49] Kukuru**
He's having fun working
a newbie to the bone.
**[00:54] Boss**
Plankton.
**[00:54] Kukuru**
Here he comes.
**[00:59] Boss**
The supply list?
**[01:01] Kukuru**
I'm making it now.
**[01:03] Boss**
The suppliers want it immediately.
**[01:05] Boss**
Finish it now.
**[01:06] Kukuru**
I need more time.
**[01:08] Boss**
I asked you three days ago.
**[01:11] Kukuru**
I have my hands full already.
**[01:13] Boss**
Time's ticking by
while you're making excuses.
**[01:16] Kukuru**
Fine, fine, I'll do it!
**[01:18] Kukuru**
That's all you want, right?
**[01:20] Boss**
Plankton.
**[01:21] Kukuru**
What?
**[01:22] Boss**
Just say, "Yes, sir."
**[01:26] Kukuru**
Yes, *sir*!
**[03:06] Kukuru**
Lucky.
**[03:08] Kukuru**
I wish I were a fish.
**[03:19] Kai**
What are you up to, Kukuru?
**[03:24] Kukuru**
Assimilating life force.
**[03:27] Kai**
What?
**[03:27] Kukuru**
I've been too busy lately
to hang out with the animals.
**[03:34] Kukuru**
You attendants are so lucky.
**[03:36] Kukuru**
You always get to be with the animals.
**[03:39] Kai**
That's true.
**[03:44] Kukuru**
And you take it for granted, don't you?
**[03:48] Kukuru**
You won't realize how important they are
to you until they're gone!
**[03:53] Kai**
Sure, sure.
**[03:54] Boss**
Just say, "Yes, sir."
**[03:56] Kai**
Huh?
**[03:57] Kuuya**
Are you done over there?
**[03:58] Kai**
Eh?
**[03:59] Kai**
Oh, yeah.
**[04:02] Kuuya**
There's a wild dolphin that's gotten lost
around here, apparently.
**[04:06] Kuuya**
Umi-yan's going to go check it out.
Take his spot for me.
**[04:09] Kukuru**
I want to go, too!
**[04:11] Kuuya**
No way. No way.
**[04:15] Kai**
Kuuya-san, you knew this was going
to happen, didn't you?
**[04:20] Kuuya**
She never grows.
**[04:26] Umi**
Are you sure you should be here?
**[04:28] Kukuru**
This is a big deal.
I can't just sit around.
**[04:32] Kukuru**
I'll take a quick look
and then go back.
**[04:35] Umi**
All right.
**[04:42] Kukuru**
Gramps.
**[04:45] Gramps**
Hey.
**[04:45] Gramps**
Hard at work, huh?
**[04:47] Kukuru**
Why are you here?
**[04:49] Gramps**
My pupil from way back
works for the city.
**[04:51] Gramps**
He wanted me to come take a look.
**[04:55] Umi**
We were asked to come, too.
**[04:57] Umi**
It's encouraging to have you here.
**[05:02] Umi**
Is it here?
**[05:04] Gramps**
Yeah.
**[05:05] Gramps**
Over there.
**[05:07] Gramps**
Looks like it's just a calf.
**[05:09] Gramps**
Must have gotten separated
from its pod.
**[05:13] Umi**
Oh, dear.
**[05:14] Umi**
It should be with its mother
at that age.
**[05:17] Gramps**
The mother may have died.
**[05:21] Umi**
It looks like it's injured.
**[05:33] Gramps**
It seems to be in good shape.
**[05:35] Umi**
Hopefully, it finds its way back
to open waters.
**[05:43] Gramps**
How about we keep an eye on it
for a while and try not to disturb it?
**[05:48] Umi**
All right.
**[05:49] Umi**
We'll get our staff to come
check on it every now and then.
**[05:53] Gramps**
Okay, thanks.
**[06:01] Gramps**
Well, Kukuru, you should come
see Gama Gama when you have some time.
**[06:08] Kukuru**
Why?
**[06:09] Gramps**
It's going to be demolished soon.
**[06:12] Gramps**
You should get a look
before it's all gone.
**[06:15] Umi**
It's finally happening, huh?
**[06:17] Gramps**
Yeah.
**[06:25] Gramps**
Just as life returns to the sea,
we have to see Gama Gama back into the earth.
**[06:43] Kukuru**
It's just a kid still.
**[06:45] Fuuka**
Yeah.
**[06:46] Fuuka**
They're going to keep
an eye on it for a while, right?
**[06:49] Kukuru**
I'm going to make time
to see it every day.
**[06:52] Fuuka**
Are you sure?
**[06:54] Kukuru**
Why not?
**[06:55] Fuuka**
I thought you were busy.
**[06:57] Fuuka**
You were at work early this morning, too.
**[07:01] Kukuru**
I'm not used to writing up documents.
**[07:03] Kukuru**
It takes me so much time.
**[07:06] Fuuka**
Don't push yourself too hard.
**[07:09] Kukuru**
I'm going to go take a look
before work tomorrow.
**[07:12] Kukuru**
Want to come along?
**[07:13] Fuuka**
I do!
**[07:27] Kukuru**
There!
**[07:32] Kukuru**
Did you see that?
**[07:33] Kukuru**
It just jumped!
**[07:40] Kukuru**
It's so cute.
**[07:42] Fuuka**
This is so healing.
**[07:44] Kukuru**
Ban-chan.
**[07:45] ---**
"Ban"?
**[07:46] Kukuru**
Ban-chan, because it's a bottlenose dolphin.
**[07:50] Kukuru**
It must be lonely, suddenly being left
on its own, even though it's so small.
**[07:55] Kukuru**
I was the same way, so I get it.
**[07:58] Fuuka**
It's all right, Ban-chan.
**[08:00] Fuuka**
We're with you.
**[08:03] Fuuka**
I hope you get back to your buddies soon.
**[08:11] Kukuru**
I'll be back, Ban-chan.
**[08:29] Kukuru**
Akari-chan, I'm going to go eat outside
and stop by our business partner.
**[08:33] Akari**
Huh?
**[08:34] Akari**
Our business partner?
**[08:36] Kukuru**
Yeah.
**[08:37] Kukuru**
Y'know.
**[08:38] Akari**
Okay, got it.
**[08:47] A**
Look, it's a dolphin!
**[08:48] B**
Oh, wow!
**[08:51] Kukuru**
That dolphin's just a child.
**[08:53] Kukuru**
You might scare it if you make a fuss.
**[08:55] Kukuru**
Try to watch quietly from a distance.
**[09:00] A**
Okay, got it.
**[09:15] Garandu**
Misakino-kun!
**[09:16] Garandu**
I heard you went to check
on the dolphin for us.
**[09:19] Garandu**
The attendants were supposed to go,
but we just couldn't find the time.
**[09:23] Garandu**
Thanks a lot.
**[09:25] Boss**
Plankton.
**[09:26] Kukuru**
Yes, sir!
**[09:27] Boss**
What is this about?
**[09:28] Kukuru**
No, um...
**[09:30] Garandu**
Did you not tell the assistant director?
**[09:34] Garandu**
Oh, man, that's not good.
**[09:37] Kukuru**
I just went to check on it
while I was out.
**[09:41] Boss**
Is that your job?
**[09:44] Kukuru**
No.
**[09:44] Boss**
You aren't even up to snuff
on your own work yet.
**[09:47] Boss**
Don't go meddling in other people's business.
**[09:49] Garandu**
Come on.
**[09:51] Garandu**
She simply did the right thing
as a member of the aquarium staff.
**[09:56] Garandu**
Right?
**[09:57] Boss**
It's always the people who can't
do their work that go on about lofty ideals.
**[10:02] Garandu**
What's that? Are you talking about me?
**[10:04] Boss**
I'm just talking in general.
**[10:06] Garandu**
That was kinda nasty.
**[10:09] Kukuru**
I apologize.
**[10:11] Kukuru**
I'll leave the dolphin
to the attendants going forward.
**[10:15] Boss**
I just want to see results.
**[10:22] Akari**
The assistant director and the chief?
**[10:24] Akari**
They really don't seem to like each other!
**[10:27] Karin**
They have different ideas
about how work should be.
**[10:30] Akari**
It's so fun watching them.
**[10:32] Akari**
Isn't it fun when there's friction at work?
**[10:35] Udon**
You're surprisingly evil, Akari-chan.
**[10:38] Akari**
Am I busted?
**[10:40] Udon**
We might be comrades.
**[10:43] Kukuru**
Watching Ban-chan helped me de-stress.
**[10:47] Fuuka**
The attendants are going to take turns
keeping an eye on it.
**[10:50] Fuuka**
Don't worry.
**[10:52] Karin**
Why don't you try focusing
on your work for once, Kukuru?
**[10:56] Karin**
You won't learn to enjoy work
if you never take it seriously.
**[11:09] Fuuka**
Oh, yeah... I heard from Umi-yan
that Airi-chan's coming to Tingarla next Friday.
**[11:16] Kukuru**
Really?
**[11:18] Fuuka**
She's still in physical therapy,
but she's doing well.
**[11:22] Fuuka**
She said she misses us.
**[11:23] Fuuka**
She's looking forward to seeing us again.
**[11:26] Kukuru**
Yeah?
**[11:28] Fuuka**
I can't wait to see her.
**[11:34] Kukuru**
I have to show her
that I'm doing better at work.
***SIGN*** Lost Plankton
**[12:03] Boss**
Plankton.
**[12:04] Kukuru**
Yes, sir?
**[12:06] Boss**
We're thinking of making the new area available
as a wedding venue when it opens.
**[12:12] Kukuru**
Weddings at an aquarium?
**[12:15] Boss**
It's to create buzz for our new opening.
**[12:16] Boss**
It'll improve our image.
**[12:19] Boss**
Prepare a plan on your end.
**[12:22] Kukuru**
Yes, sir.
**[12:24] Kukuru**
What will I need for it?
**[12:29] Boss**
Put together a sample plan based
on what other aquariums have done.
**[12:34] Boss**
We'll present it to a wedding
planning company next week.
**[12:37] Kukuru**
A presentation?
**[12:39] Boss**
If it works out,
**[12:41] ---**
the new area will receive attention
and increase customer growth dramatically.
**[12:45] Boss**
This is your chance to show off your skills
as a project planner.
**[12:48] Kukuru**
Understood.

**[13:26] Fuuka**
Overtime again?
**[13:27] Kukuru**
You can head home first, Fuuka.
**[13:29] Fuuka**
It must be rough,
being at work late every day.
**[13:32] Kukuru**
Yeah.
**[13:32] Kukuru**
I guess.
**[13:34] Kukuru**
But there's no one else to do it.
**[13:36] Kukuru**
So I have to.
**[13:38] Garandu**
There you are!
**[13:39] Garandu**
Misakino-kun.
**[13:41] Kukuru**
Chief Garandou.
**[13:43] Garandu**
So about that lost dolphin...
**[13:47] Garandu**
It doesn't look as though
it's leaving any time soon,
**[13:49] ---**
so I figure we should swim nearby
and check on its health.
**[13:55] Kukuru**
Uh-huh.
**[13:57] Garandu**
Wanna do it?
**[13:59] Garandu**
You've been a great help
to the attendants.
**[14:03] Garandu**
The assistant director won't have anything to say
**[14:05] ---**
if you do it on your own time
outside work, right?
**[14:10] Garandu**
What's wrong?
**[14:11] Kukuru**
No, I...
**[14:13] Garandu**
What? You won't do it?
**[14:16] Kukuru**
I have an important presentation to do.
**[14:18] Garandu**
Aw, man.
**[14:19] Garandu**
That's too bad.
**[14:21] Garandu**
I'll ask someone else.
**[14:22] Garandu**
Don't worry about it.
**[14:25] Fuuka**
I'm sure your presentation
will turn out well.
**[14:28] Fuuka**
You've worked so hard on it.
**[14:31] Kukuru**
I'm going to go finish the proposal.
**[14:38] Gramps**
It's been a while.
**[14:40] Gramps**
How's Tingarla going?
**[14:43] Director**
It's been doing well.
**[14:45] Director**
Thank you for all your advice.
**[14:49] Director**
How have you been?
**[14:51] Gramps**
I miss the animals.
**[14:55] Gramps**
The dolphin?
**[14:56] Director**
It's still there.
**[14:58] Director**
It seems to have plenty to eat, so we're trying
not to interfere with it too much.
**[15:02] Gramps**
That's for the best.
**[15:04] Mom**
There you are.
**[15:06] Gramps**
You aren't drunk yet, huh?
**[15:09] Mom**
Tsukimi's not here, so I have to work.
**[15:13] Mom**
It's so exhausting!
**[15:15] Gramps**
How is everyone from Gama Gama doing?
**[15:18] Director**
They're all very adaptable.
**[15:19] Director**
I feel safe with them.
**[15:22] Director**
Kukuru-san's working as hard
as she can for us in marketing, too.
**[15:27] Gramps**
That girl's practically been swimming
in a tank her whole life.
**[15:32] Gramps**
It'll be a good experience for her
to see what's outside.
**[15:37] Director**
I hope she'll become a great aquarist
just like you someday.
**[15:42] Director**
Even if she's barely able
to float right now.
**[15:56] Boss**
Are you all right?
**[15:58] Kukuru**
Yes.
**[15:59] Kukuru**
I put up with a lot for this day.
**[16:09] Miura**
Nice to meet you.
**[16:11] Miura**
I'm Miura, a wedding planner.
**[16:14] Boss**
Thank you for your time today.
**[16:17] Miura**
Not at all.
**[16:18] Miura**
This would be a good opportunity
for us as well.
**[16:21] Miura**
We produce bespoke weddings here.
**[16:28] Miura**
We have some couples who are interested
in aquarium weddings.
**[16:34] Miura**
So we're very keen on this.
**[16:38] Boss**
We look forward to working with you.
**[16:40] Kukuru**
This is our proposal for Tingarla Weddings.
***SIGN*** Tingarla Weddings
***SIGN*** Proposal
**[16:44] Miura**
Thank you.
**[16:52] Miura**
I see.
**[16:53] Kukuru**
Our plan is to make the new area available
for weddings, when it opens in the spring.
**[16:58] Kukuru**
We'll also be able to hold
mini-receptions at the restaurant,
**[17:00] ---**
as part of the special opening event.
**[17:03] Miura**
May I ask a few questions?
**[17:07] Kukuru**
Yes.
**[17:08] Miura**
"No photography or additional lighting
in front of tanks."
**[17:11] Miura**
Does that include during the ceremony?
**[17:13] Kukuru**
Yes.
**[17:14] Kukuru**
For the welfare of the fish.
**[17:16] Kukuru**
Strong flashes will surprise the fish
that aren't accustomed to them.
**[17:21] Miura**
What about wedding photos?
**[17:23] Miura**
Would you be preparing a separate location?
**[17:28] Kukuru**
We'll make some considerations.
**[17:31] Miura**
"Minimal decorations"?
**[17:33] Kukuru**
Yes.
**[17:34] Kukuru**
It can be fatal for fish
if they mistake decorations for food.
**[17:39] Miura**
So then, with adequate management,
we can have decorations, correct?
**[17:45] Kukuru**
Um...
**[17:46] Kukuru**
I'll get back to you on that.
**[17:49] Miura**
"We'll serve delicious fish
at the mini-reception"?
**[17:52] Kukuru**
Yes.
**[17:53] Kukuru**
We think it'll be a good opportunity
to have people talk about fish.
**[17:57] Miura**
Do you have a specific kind
of fish in mind?
**[18:00] Miura**
Japanese style? Western style?
**[18:02] Miura**
Are there special menus for the receptions?
**[18:05] Kukuru**
Menus...
**[18:08] Kukuru**
We haven't considered that yet.
**[18:12] Kukuru**
I'm sorry.
**[18:16] Miura**
I understand that Tingarla
takes good care of its fish.
**[18:21] Miura**
But I don't think we'll find many customers
who will want this program.
**[18:27] Miura**
A wedding is one of the biggest
moments of someone's life.
**[18:31] Miura**
The fish have to take more
of a backseat role.
**[18:35] Kukuru**
Backseat role...
**[18:37] Miura**
Could we at least relax
some of the conditions?
**[18:41] Miura**
The aquariums in the mainland
allow for more extravagant performances.
**[18:45] Kukuru**
But if you're holding a wedding at Tingarla,
the fish have to be the most...
**[18:51] Miura**
I'm sure a fish getting married
at Tingarla would find real happiness.
**[18:59] Boss**
Misakino, enough.
**[19:02] Boss**
Thank you for your valuable feedback.
**[19:05] Boss**
We'll revise the proposal
and get back to you when we're ready.
**[19:12] Boss**
I was expecting that reaction.
**[19:15] Boss**
Now that we know what they value,
we know what we have to do.
**[19:20] Boss**
Redo the plan.
**[19:23] Kukuru**
Yes, sir.
**[19:26] Boss**
Her opinion is as to be expected
of a wedding planner.
**[19:30] Boss**
Rethink it from the ground up.

That was today!
**[20:03] Kukuru**
Where's Airi-chan?
**[20:05] Karin**
She said she'll be back.
**[20:07] Karin**
And she asked me to say "hi" to you.
**[20:15] Kukuru**
I feel bad.
**[20:18] Karin**
It's not your fault.
**[20:20] Karin**
You had work.
**[20:31] Kukuru**
Work...
**[20:41] Kukuru**
Why was I trying so hard again?

**[00:17] Fuuka**
You can't get a hold of Kukuru?
**[00:19] Karin**
*She won't pick up the phone.*
**[00:22] Karin**
Do you know anything?
**[00:25] Fuuka**
*No.*
**[00:26] Karin**
Ah...
**[00:28] Karin**
She's not the type to skip work
without telling anyone.
**[00:31] Karin**
I'm a bit worried.
**[00:32] Fuuka**
*I'll check her room when I get home.*
**[00:35] Fuuka**
*She might be*

*Please.*

Did she respond?
**[04:02] Fuuka**
Yes.
**[04:03] Fuuka**
She seems to be safe.
**[04:04] Karin**
Okay.
**[04:06] Karin**
Her presentation didn't go well.
**[04:08] Karin**
I wonder if she's depressed.
**[04:10] Karin**
I might have pressured her too much
**[04:12] ---**
when I lectured her about the joys
of work and stuff.
**[04:14] Fuuka**
She'll be all right.
**[04:16] Fuuka**
I think.
**[04:17] Fuuka**
She's just a bit tired.
**[04:21] Fuuka**
She's fine.

**[04:33] Kukuru**
Seriously, what am I doing?
**[04:44] Misaki**
Kukuru-chan?
**[04:46] Misaki**
I thought so!
**[04:47] Misaki**
It's been a while, huh?
**[04:50] Kukuru**
Misaki-san?
**[04:55] Umi**
Whoops.
**[04:57] Umi**
Thanks.
**[05:00] Eiji**
That's your wife, right?
**[05:02] Umi**
Yup.
**[05:03] Eiji**
You said she's on the smaller islands.
**[05:05] Eiji**
What does she do?
**[05:07] Umi**
She's an associate professor.
**[05:09] Umi**
She studies sea turtles.
**[05:11] Eiji**
Brilliant.
**[05:14] Umi**
We're both so obsessed with work
that we rarely see each other.
**[05:23] Misaki**
It's been such a long time.
**[05:25] Misaki**
You've been working with Gou-chan
since Gama Gama closed, right?
**[05:29] Kukuru**
Gou-chan?
**[05:32] Kukuru**
Oh.
**[05:39] Misaki**
Are you over here for work?
**[05:41] Misaki**
There's a tiny little aquarium here, too,
called Kamehausu.
**[05:46] Kukuru**
Oh, yeah.
**[05:48] Misaki**
I thought that's why you were here.
**[05:51] Kukuru**
Not necessarily.
**[05:57] Misaki**
Is something wrong?
**[06:00] Kukuru**
Work isn't going too well.
**[06:02] Misaki**
I see.
**[06:04] Kukuru**
I came to run away.
**[06:08] Misaki**
Yeah?
**[06:10] Misaki**
Well, now that you've run away,
you might as well enjoy it more.
**[06:14] Misaki**
You're going to get yelled at later, anyway.
**[06:16] Misaki**
There's no sense being sad about it yet.
**[06:19] Misaki**
It's a huge waste.
**[06:20] Misaki**
You tried hard, and it didn't work out,
so take a break.
**[06:22] Misaki**
Reflect after you've taken a break.
**[06:24] Misaki**
And get back to work
after you've reflected some.
**[06:26] Misaki**
You can't do all that
at the same time. Right?
**[06:33] Misaki**
Where are you staying, Kukuru-chan?
**[06:35] Kukuru**
I haven't decided yet.
**[06:37] Misaki**
You should come where I'm staying, then.
**[06:40] Misaki**
They said there's a room open.
**[06:43] Misaki**
Well, now that that's settled,
let's tend to some business.

**[07:01] Kukuru**
By "business," you meant picking up litter?
**[07:02] Misaki**
This kind of driftage can get in the way
when hatchlings try to return to sea.
**[07:08] Kukuru**
They're born here?
**[07:10] Misaki**
Yeah.
**[07:11] Misaki**
They came to shore 50 days ago
and laid their eggs.
**[07:15] Misaki**
Ideal solar conditions,
perfect accumulated temperature.
**[07:19] Misaki**
Once you start seeing dents in the sand,
they start hatching.
**[07:23] Kukuru**
I've never seen sea turtles hatch.
**[07:26] Kukuru**
We never did artificial incubation
at either Gama Gama or Tingarla.
**[07:30] Misaki**
You'll be blown away, then!
**[07:32] Misaki**
The ground wells up as if it's erupting.
**[07:35] Misaki**
And the baby turtles come springing out!
**[07:38] Misaki**
They march forward,
toward the light of the sea.
**[07:42] Misaki**
When you see it, it makes you realize that
that's the moment you've been working for.
**[07:49] Kukuru**
I can put up with anything,
if it's for the animals.
**[07:55] Misaki**
Come on! At least pick up some garbage
if you're going to be staring at your feet.
**[07:59] Misaki**
Dinner will taste better
if you get plenty of exercise.
**[08:04] Boss**
She's sick?
**[08:05] Fuuka**
Yes.
**[08:06] Fuuka**
She has a fever and says
she has a stomachache.
**[08:11] Fuuka**
So, um...
**[08:12] Boss**
Basically, she's fake sick.
**[08:15] Fuuka**
She's not!
**[08:16] Fuuka**
It's true that she's not feeling well.
**[08:19] Boss**
Absent without notice.
**[08:20] Boss**
She's working on a project right now,
and the new area is opening soon.
**[08:24] Fuuka**
I'll make up for Kukuru!
**[08:27] Boss**
Your job isn't to take care of Misakino.
**[08:31] Fuuka**
We'll deal with this ourselves.
**[08:33] Fuuka**
Go back to your own work.
**[08:39] Fuuka**
He didn't have to say it like that!
**[08:42] Fuuka**
Jeez!
**[08:49] Fuuka**
I'm sorry!
**[08:50] Kai**
No, was that a Kukuru impression?
**[08:53] Fuuka**
Kukuru?
**[08:54] Kai**
Oh, uh, nothing.
**[08:57] Kaoru**
Speaking of which,
is Misakino-san off work today?
**[09:01] Kaoru**
Someone from the equipment team told me.
**[09:03] Kaoru**
People love talking about her.
**[09:05] Kaoru**
She pops up everywhere.

**[09:09] Kai**

Good morning.
**[10:27] A**
Morning.
**[10:29] A**
Did you sleep well?
**[10:31] Kukuru**
I overslept.
**[10:33] A**
Nothing wrong with getting plenty of sleep.
**[10:36] Kukuru**
Hey, have you seen Misaki-san?
**[10:38] A**
Oh, what was it that she said...
**[10:41] A**
Oh, right. "Fieldwork."
**[10:45] A**
You must be hungry.
**[10:48] A**
Here.
**[10:49] Kukuru**
Thank... you.
**[10:52] A**
I made lots.
**[10:54] A**
Eat well.
**[11:02] A**
Is Kamehausu close by?
**[11:08] A**
It's still here!
**[11:09] B**
You should keep it at the aquarium.
**[11:14] Gramps**
It's got family in the ocean.
**[11:18] Gramps**
You wouldn't want to be separated
from your family, would you?
**[11:22] Fuuka**
Gramps. Why are you here?
**[11:24] Gramps**
I have time to spare.
**[11:26] Gramps**
So I come check on it sometimes.
**[11:28] Gramps**
It doesn't seem to be weakening.
**[11:31] Fuuka**
Yes, but it's just been going back
and forth around there.
**[11:35] Gramps**
Maybe it had a terrifying experience.
**[11:40] Gramps**
Oh, the Gama Gama kids are moving
to Tingarla soon.
**[11:47] Gramps**
Choko and the gang.
**[11:49] Gramps**
Tell Kukuru for me.
**[11:51] Gramps**
I'm sure she'll be happy.
**[11:53] Fuuka**
Okay.
***SIGN*** Big news!
***SIGN*** Gramps just told me that Choko and the others are coming to Tingarla.

Okay.
**[12:13] Marina**

**[12:16] Chiyu**
No problem there.
**[12:17] Fuuka**
Sorry, you're almost done.
**[12:28] Fuuka**
I want to give her some space.
**[12:31] Fuuka**
I should wait until she's back
to tell her about Choko, right?
**[12:44] Fuuka**
Popo!
**[12:48] Fuuka**
From the base of the beak and the back.
**[12:51] Fuuka**
It looks like the back's
been pecked pretty bad.
**[12:55] Fuuka**
Okay.
**[12:58] Fuuka**
Okay.
**[13:00] Fuuka**
Okay!
**[13:01] Fuuka**
Please and thank you!
**[13:02] Garandu**
I got some bandages.
**[13:04] Marina**
Thank you, Gyarandou-san!
**[13:06] Gerando**
It's "Garandou."
**[13:08] Chiyu**
Popo's so curious.
**[13:11] Chiyu**
They must have wandered
into someone else's territory.
**[13:13] Fuuka**
I should have been paying attention.
**[13:15] Gerando**
It's all right.
**[13:16] Gerando**
Penguins get into fights all the time.
**[13:19] Gerando**

Hey, Yama!
**[15:34] A**
Hey.
**[15:35] B**
It's the reef stonefish today?
**[15:37] B**
Find it! Find it!
**[15:43] B**
I found the reef stonefish!
**[15:45] C**
Over here, too!
**[15:46] A**
That was fast.
**[15:49] A**
Let's see...
**[15:51] A**
Yep, correct.
**[15:53] A**
Help yourselves to a ice cream.
**[15:54] B**
Yay! That was so easy!
**[15:57] Kukuru**
Ice cream?
**[15:58] A**
The kids don't want the coral.
**[16:01] A**
So we draw them
with ice cream instead.
**[16:03] A**
But they get faster and faster
at finding them.
**[16:06] Kukuru**
They're here for the ice cream, huh?
**[16:08] A**
It's fine.
**[16:09] A**
Anything that gets them to come in.
**[16:11] A**
As long as it gets them to love fish.
**[16:16] A**
Actually, I just stole that line

**[16:42] Kukuru**

**[16:49] Fuuka**
Hang in there!
**[16:50] Takeshita**
There.
**[16:52] Takeshita**
Now let's keep an eye on them for a while.
**[16:55] Takeshita**
We might not want to let
them out for a few days.
**[16:58] Takeshita**
If they're having a hard time eating,
chop up or mince the feed.
**[17:03] Takeshita**
Make sure they don't lose weight.
**[17:05] Fuuka**
Okay.
**[17:06] Fuuka**
Thank you.
**[17:09] Takeshita**
Were you that worried?
**[17:11] Fuuka**
It hurts my heart to see animals suffer.
**[17:17] Fuuka**
I can't stand not being able
to do anything for them.
**[17:21] Takeshita**
That goes for vets and attendants alike.
**[17:24] Takeshita**
We can't communicate with them in words,
**[17:26] ---**
so it's hard to know what to do for them.
**[17:31] Takeshita**
Especially when one passes
after I've been taking care of them.
**[17:36] Takeshita**
You don't have to worry so much.
**[17:39] Takeshita**
They'll recover just fine with some care.
**[17:41] Takeshita**
You don't need to be watching them all day.
**[17:44] Fuuka**
Okay.
**[17:45] Takeshita**
There's no time to be regretting things
when you're dealing with animals.
**[17:50] Takeshita**
Don't wallow. Struggle!
**[17:52] Fuuka**
Don't wallow?
***SIGN*** AM: Came up to ask for food. Gave them 5 fish. Asked for more, so gave them 2 more.
***SIGN*** 12:00 approx: Peeped into a nest near the staff area entrance, got pecked on by several excited penguins around the right eye and back, leading to bleeding. We cleaned the areas and stopped the bleeding, and called Dr. Takeshita just in case. We've covered the cartilage for safety, and will be keeping an eye on them for several days. No appetite issues so far. Will force feed if they don't eat. If they still don't eat, we'll mince food and feed directly using a catheter.
***SIGN*** Notes
***SIGN*** Popo was injured even though I was nearby. I was too busy taking care of Shiratama to notice there was a problem.
***SIGN*** To prevent this from happening again...
**[18:08] Fuuka**
What could I do?
**[18:10] Umi**
There you are.
**[18:12] Fuuka**
Umi-yan-san.
**[18:14] Umi**
I found out where Kukuru-chan is.
**[18:16] Umi**
She's with my wife.
**[18:19] Umi**
She seems to be doing well.
**[18:21] Umi**
You can relax.
**[18:22] Fuuka**
Where is she?
**[18:24] Chiyu**
It's fine.
**[18:25] Chiyu**
I've been giving you plenty
of trouble anyway.
**[18:28] Marina**
We'll take care of Popo!
**[18:30] Fuuka**
Thank you!
**[18:40] Kukuru**
Come in.
**[18:43] Misaki**
I heard you checked out the aquarium.
**[18:45] Misaki**
Yama-chan told me.
**[18:47] Kukuru**
Yeah.
**[18:47] Kukuru**
I even got a gift.
**[18:49] Misaki**
They're hatching.
**[18:52] Misaki**
Tonight.
**[18:53] Misaki**
My students saw the indicators.
**[19:09] A**
It's a perfect night for hatching.
**[19:11] Misaki**
The waves are nice and calm, too.
**[19:14] Misaki**
This is Yamahara-san.
**[19:15] Misaki**
He helps out with research
at my university every year.
**[19:19] Yamahara**
We met during the day, didn't we?
**[19:21] Kukuru**
Thank you for the coral decoration.
**[19:23] Misaki**
Yama-chan works as a tour guide around this time
of the year, when the turtles hatch.
**[19:28] A**
Sensei, it's starting.
**[19:31] Yamahara**
Please don't shine light on them
with your phones or flashlights!
**[19:34] Yamahara**
The hatchlings will be
drawn to them and get lost.

not to stand in their way!
**[20:09] B**
Huh? They aren't moving.
**[20:14] Yamahara**
Don't worry.
**[20:15] Yamahara**
These kids know what they need to do,
and where they need to go.
**[20:22] Yamahara**
They're just saving up their
strength in the sand.
**[20:25] Yamahara**
For when they start running.
**[20:31] Kukuru**
You can do it.
**[21:39] Fuuka**
It's amazing.

**[00:11] Kukuru**
Gama Gama is gone.
**[00:16] Kukuru**
So I...
**[00:23] Kukuru**
I thought I was trying really hard at work.
**[00:28] Kukuru**
Now I don't have the drive anymore.
**[00:33] Fuuka**
Yeah.
**[00:34] Kukuru**
Sorry, I'm the worst.
**[00:38] Kukuru**
I'm causing so much trouble.
**[00:41] Kukuru**
I'm really sorry.
**[00:53] Kukuru**
Fuuka...
***SIGN*** Kamehausu
**[02:58] Kukuru**
Good morning.
**[03:00] Misaki**
Good morning, Kukuru-chan.
**[03:02] Kukuru**
Thank you for everything, Misaki-san.
**[03:05] Kukuru**
I'll leave on the afternoon ferry tonight.
**[03:07] Misaki**
I haven't done anything.
**[03:09] Misaki**
You have your friend to thank
for coming to get you.
**[03:12] Kukuru**
I knew I couldn't stay forever.
**[03:16] Kukuru**
Fuuka helped me clear my mind.
**[03:18] Misaki**
Having something positive to say means
you've charged up the energy to run forward again.
**[03:24] Misaki**
Don't push yourself too hard, though.
**[03:27] Fuuka**
Are you Umi-yan-san's...
**[03:29] Misaki**
Guden Misaki.
**[03:30] Fuuka**
Miyazawa Fuuka.
**[03:32] Fuuka**
We're in Umi-yan-san's care.
**[03:35] Misaki**
Likewise, thank you
for taking care of Gou-chan.
**[03:38] Kukuru**
Misaki-san does university research
and conservation of sea turtles.
**[03:43] Fuuka**
Conservation?
**[03:44] Misaki**
Are you aware that loggerhead sea turtles
**[03:46] ---**
and leatherback sea turtles are classified
as endangered species?
**[03:49] Fuuka**
I've heard about it.
**[03:51] Misaki**
My department is investigating
sea turtle biology and behavior.
**[03:56] ---**
We're trying to keep their numbers
from dwindling any further.
**[03:59] Kukuru**
Like cleaning the sand in beaches?
**[04:01] Misaki**
That's one of our activities.
**[04:04] Misaki**
A lot of sea turtles are put in danger
because of human activity.
**[04:10] Kukuru**
Human activity?
**[04:12] Misaki**
Their eggs get squashed
by cars and people,
**[04:15] ---**
or they're attracted to artificial lights,
which makes them lose their direction.
**[04:19] Misaki**
Or large pieces of garbage
get in the way of the young,
**[04:22] ---**
and they lose their lives
trying to make it to the sea.
**[04:25] Fuuka**
Oh, no...
**[04:27] Fuuka**
After they're finally born into our world...
**[04:35] Fuuka**
They struggle so hard to make
it to the sea with their tiny bodies.
**[04:41] Misaki**
Even if they make it back to the sea,
there are other dangers lurking.
**[04:45] Fuuka**
Marine pollution?
**[04:48] Misaki**
When we dissect sea turtles
that had died and washed ashore,
**[04:51] ---**
we find artificial materials
more often than not.
**[04:55] Misaki**
Last month, a sea turtle washed ashore
and was tangled in rope.
**[04:59] Misaki**
It's thought that only one
in 5,000 hatchlings survive,
**[05:03] ---**
but if that's just the way things go in nature,
there's nothing to do about it.
**[05:07] Misaki**
But we want to stop them losing their lives
because of human activities,
**[05:11] ---**
as much as we can.
**[05:15] Misaki**
I know that sounds really pretentious.
**[05:17] Misaki**
At the end of the day,
we just have to do what we can.
**[05:21] Fuuka**
I had no idea, even though
I work at an aquarium.
**[05:25] Misaki**
No one does, at first.
**[05:27] Misaki**
You'll learn going forward.
**[05:31] Kamehausu**
Come back again sometime.
**[05:33] Kukuru**
Your pork-and-egg rice balls were delicious.
**[05:36] Fuuka**
Thank you for taking care of us.
**[05:46] Kukuru**
It doesn't have to be anything big, right?
**[05:49] Kukuru**
As long as it helps the animals.
**[05:51] Fuuka**
Yeah.
**[05:53] Kukuru**
I'm going to focus on my marketing work more,
so that it helps the animals!
**[06:13] Kukuru**
I'm very sorry!
**[06:15] Kukuru**
I caused so much trouble.
**[06:18] Kukuru**
I won't let it happen again.
**[06:20] Kukuru**
I will give my marketing work
everything I have going forward!
**[06:22] Boss**
Just do this for me.
***SIGN*** Tingarla Weddings

**[06:26] Boss**
I'll have you leave the marketing department
as soon as you're done with that job.
**[06:31] Akari**
Kukuru-san...
**[06:33] Boss**
The attendants team has an opening.
**[06:35] Boss**
I'll put in a recommendation.
**[06:38] Kukuru**
Attendants...
**[06:40] Boss**
Just focus on this job for now.
**[06:42] Boss**
I've negotiated with the wedding planners
to schedule us for a meeting next Friday.
**[06:46] Boss**
If we don't get the deal this time,
that's it for this deal.
**[06:49] Kukuru**
Understood.
**[06:53] Karin**
Welcome back.
**[06:54] Akari**
Jeez.
**[06:55] Akari**
I thought you'd quit!
**[06:57] Kukuru**
Sorry I worried you.
**[06:59] Kukuru**
I couldn't answer your calls.
**[07:01] Karin**
It's fine.
**[07:03] Karin**
You're back safe now.
**[07:05] Akari**
I get to poke your cheeks again.
**[07:07] Karin**
Also, the attendant team?
**[07:10] Kukuru**
I don't know. It's all so sudden.
**[07:12] Akari**
So you're being transferred, right?
**[07:14] Akari**
Good for you.
**[07:16] Akari**
You'll do better as an attendant
than in marketing.
**[07:20] Akari**
Right, Karin-san?
**[07:21] Karin**
Y-Yeah.
**[07:23] Kukuru**
Didn't you want to become
an attendant, too, Karin-chan?
**[07:27] Kukuru**
I'm going to go talk
to the assistant director.
**[07:29] Karin**
Don't mind me.
**[07:31] Karin**
Just focus on the job
in front of you.
**[07:38] Kukuru**
Yeah, focus!
**[07:40] Kukuru**
Let's see...
**[07:50] Umiyan**
Fuuka-chan.
**[07:51] Fuuka**
Good morning.
**[07:53] Umiyan**
My wife told me.
**[07:55] Umiyan**
You went to the island, huh?
**[07:57] Fuuka**
I really wanted to see her,
once she told me where she was.
**[08:00] Umiyan**
Sorry for causing you
so much trouble.
**[08:03] Fuuka**
No, I'm glad I got to go.
**[08:05] Fuuka**
I'm glad I'm back with Kukuru, of course,
but I also got to see sea turtles hatch,
**[08:10] ---**
and Misaki-san told me
some valuable information.
**[08:13] Umiyan**
That's good, then.
**[08:16] Umiyan**
Keep an eye on Kukuru-chan for us
going forward, too.
**[08:20] Umiyan**
She can be a bit perilous
when she's on her own.
**[08:23] Fuuka**
You're right.

I can't!

**[09:04] Kukuru**
I know the wedding is supposed
to be for the newlyweds.
**[09:08] Kukuru**
But it isn't an aquarium
without the animals.
**[09:18] Kukuru**
Ban-chan's still here.
**[09:20] Fuuka**
Yeah.
**[09:23] Fuuka**
Hey, about the wedding project...
**[09:27] Fuuka**
What would you think if the bride and groom
were people you're close to?
**[09:31] Kukuru**
People I'm close to?
**[09:33] Kukuru**
Say...
**[09:35] Kukuru**
You!
**[09:36] Fuuka**
Me?!
**[09:39] Kukuru**
You'd be so pretty as a bride.
**[09:43] Kukuru**
I'd take so many pretty photos!
**[09:46] Kukuru**
And I'd prepare lots of your favorite dishes,
**[09:49] ---**
and I'd make it a joyful ceremony
from beginning to end.
**[09:54] Fuuka**
Thanks.
**[09:56] Kukuru**
I feel like there's so much
I'd want to do for you.
**[10:01] Kukuru**
I wonder if Miura-san feels like this, too.
**[10:04] Kukuru**
Does she care about the bride and groom
as much as I care about animals?
**[10:09] Fuuka**
I'm sure she does.
**[10:14] Kukuru**
Oh yeah.
**[10:15] Kukuru**
I might be transferring
to the attendants team.
**[10:18] Kukuru**
I'm not sure yet, though.
**[10:20] Fuuka**
It'll be great taking care
of the animals together again.
**[10:23] Fuuka**
Choko's moving over, too.
**[10:24] Fuuka**
I can't wait.
**[10:26] Kukuru**
Choko's coming to Tingarla?!
**[10:28] Fuuka**
Yeah!
**[10:29] Fuuka**
Pretty soon.
**[10:30] Kukuru**
Oh, man.
**[10:32] Kukuru**
All right, I'm going to sprint
to the presentation.
**[10:55] Karin**
Making progress, huh?
**[10:56] Kukuru**
Talking to Fuuka yesterday cleared my head.
**[11:01] Karin**
It's important to ask people for advice.
**[11:03] Karin**
It broadens your perspective,
and it adds depth to your ideas.
**[11:07] Kukuru**
That's so true.
**[11:08] Kukuru**
Oh, I should ask you, too.
**[11:11] Kukuru**
What would you want if you were going
to have your wedding at an aquarium?
**[11:14] Karin**
I-I'm not sure.
**[11:16] Karin**
I'm so busy thinking about work
at the moment.
**[11:19] Kukuru**
Really?
**[11:22] Karin**
I thought about it overnight,
**[11:24] ---**
but I'm going to put my name
in for the attendant position.
**[11:29] Karin**
I gotta get to my meeting.
**[11:31] Kukuru**
Good luck.
**[11:32] Karin**
You, too.
**[11:37] Marin**
Weddings huh?
**[11:39] Marin**
I'd totally wear a mermaid dress.
**[11:42] Marin**
My headdress and bouquet
would be like corals.
**[11:45] Chiyu**
My main condition is for Shizu-kun
to enjoy it without getting bored.
**[11:49] Chiyu**
Kids get bored easily.
**[11:51] Kukuru**
I see.
**[11:53] Kukuru**
Thanks for the notes!
**[11:55] Kuuya**

**[11:57] Kuuya**
Why would you ask *me*?
**[11:58] Kukuru**
It's for work. Help me out.
**[12:01] Kuuya**
I can't.
**[12:02] Eiji**
I'll answer in his place.
**[12:04] Kukuru**
Tell me.
**[12:05] Eiji**
First, the invitation cards
are definitely blue-whale themed.
**[12:09] Eiji**
I'd distribute fish trivia

Very well.

**[12:50] Kukuru**
Okay!
**[12:52] Boss**
Email it to the wedding planners as well.
**[12:54] Kukuru**
Okay.
**[12:55] Kukuru**
Um, about the presentation...
**[12:58] Boss**
What?
**[13:00] Kukuru**
I'd like to bring Miura-san
over here to Tingarla.
***SIGN*** Ready to Return
***SIGN*** The Pacific Garbage Patch
**[13:15] Kaoru**
Huh, what a surprise.
**[13:17] Kaoru**
Miyazawa-san, are you interested
in environmental issues?
**[13:20] Fuuka**
I had an opportunity to learn
about the garbage issue.
**[13:23] Fuuka**
I want to learn more about it.
**[13:25] Kaoru**
Ocean pollution is one of the problems,
but there's a ton more, too.
**[13:30] Kaoru**
For example, the rise of sea temperatures
as a result of climate change
**[13:33] ---**
is the cause of a lot of crises.
**[13:36] Fuuka**
The coral?
**[13:37] Kaoru**
Yeah.
**[13:38] Kaoru**
They're bleaching.
**[13:40] Kaoru**
Once coral bleaches, it never recovers,
and it eventually dies.
**[13:45] Kaoru**
The coral reefs in Miyako City, where I'm from,
are dwindling really fast, too.
**[13:50] Kaoru**
I want to save them as much as I can
while they're still alive.
**[14:10] Boss**
We were looking forward to seeing you.
**[14:11] Kukuru**
Thank you for taking time to come.
**[14:14] Kukuru**
Sorry for calling you out
all the way here.
**[14:16] Miura**
I was surprised,
because it was so sudden.
**[14:18] Kukuru**
We really wanted you to see
the marine life as part of our pitch.
**[14:23] Miura**
Could you show me around, then?
**[14:26] Miura**
I don't want to waste time.
**[14:28] Kukuru**
This way, please.
**[14:32] Kukuru**
This tank offers a view of creatures
in the Okinawa area.
**[14:37] Kukuru**
There are all kinds
of colorful and adorable fish.
**[14:41] Kukuru**
That awesome-looking fish is a giant grouper.
**[14:44] Kukuru**
They get to be up
to nearly three meters!
**[14:47] Kukuru**
There are even legends
that they've swallowed humans.
**[14:54] Kukuru**
The jellyfish are popular
for making people feel better.
**[14:57] Kukuru**
The gentle way they drift
has a relaxing effect.
**[15:02] Miura**
That's plenty.
**[15:04] Miura**
Was I not called here
for the project pitch?
**[15:08] Kukuru**
Right.
**[15:09] Kukuru**
Then...
**[15:16] Kukuru**
This is the wedding venue:
the White Sand Dome.
**[15:20] Boss**
We're still setting up the interior,
but we plan to be open by next week.
**[15:25] Miura**
I'd like to check on several points.
**[15:28] Miura**
What about photography?
**[15:29] Kukuru**
We'll hire professionals
to take memorable photos.
**[15:35] Miura**
The meals?
**[15:36] Kukuru**
We'll prepare receptions as requested
at our restaurant.
**[15:42] Miura**
You seemed preoccupied
with protecting the animals last time.
**[15:45] Kukuru**
The fact that we care
about the animals hasn't changed.
**[15:48] Kukuru**
But the wedding is the primary
objective of the event.
**[15:51] Kukuru**
We want to find a middle ground,
so that the clients can be satisfied as well.
**[15:57] Miura**
Then we can't back down
on having decorations.
**[16:01] Kukuru**
We'd like to keep them to a minimum.
**[16:04] Miura**
That would appear too bleak.
**[16:06] Kukuru**
We don't believe we would
need flashy decorations here.
**[16:10] Miura**
And why would that be?
**[16:11] Kukuru**
Have a look up at the ceiling!
**[16:14] Kukuru**
From top to bottom,
you're surrounded by a dome aquarium.
**[16:19] Kukuru**
Brilliantly colored fish will be swimming
in the sparkling water.
**[16:24] Kukuru**
I believe it will be plenty gorgeous,
even without decorations!
**[16:30] Kukuru**
We'll also be covering the ground
with white sand,
**[16:33] ---**
which will light the room
all the way down to your feet.
**[16:35] Miura**
Sand?
**[16:37] Miura**
What about shoes?
**[16:38] Kukuru**
No shoes.
**[16:39] Kukuru**
It'll be a barefoot wedding!
**[16:42] Miura**
There was nothing about this
on the proposal!
**[16:45] Miura**
Barefoot is taking it too far.
**[16:47] Kukuru**
The aquarium extends all the way
to the sand.
**[16:51] Kukuru**
All around you, you're surrounded by life,
as you celebrate the newlyweds.
**[16:56] Kukuru**
Don't you think that would be fantastic?
**[16:58] Kukuru**
It's like having a wedding under the sea.
**[17:01] Kukuru**
I'm sure any couple
that loves the ocean would love this!
**[17:07] Miura**
I've never seen or even heard
of such a wedding.
**[17:16] Miura**
But that makes it all the more intriguing!
**[17:19] Miura**
There's still plenty of things to consider,
and some adjustments will be necessary.
**[17:24] Miura**
But I think it would be worth trying.
**[17:28] Kukuru**
Do you mean...
**[17:30] Miura**
Let's make Tingarla Weddings happen.
**[17:35] Kukuru**
Thank you!
**[17:36] Boss**
We're honored.
**[17:37] Miura**
I'm so glad I came to Tingarla today.
**[17:41] Miura**
There was a lot that I couldn't get
out of just reading the proposal.
**[17:44] Miura**
Seeing the fish and the new area in person
**[17:47] ---**
has given me a better idea
of what it will look like.
**[17:49] Kukuru**
Right!
**[17:51] Miura**
Misakino-san,
do you have some time afterwards?
**[17:54] Miura**
I'd like to learn more
about the other fish.
**[17:56] Miura**
It might be useful to know
for the weddings.
**[17:59] Kukuru**
Of course!
**[18:19] Miura**
I'll come again.
**[18:27] Boss**
Plankton.
**[18:28] Kukuru**
Yes?
**[18:30] Kukuru**
Well done.
**[18:34] Kukuru**
Thank you.
**[18:40] Kukuru**
Cheers!
**[18:48] Kukuru**
That hits the spot!
**[18:50] Kukuru**
I've never had such good Okinawan lime juice!
**[18:54] Fuuka**
I haven't seen Kukuru so happy
in a long time.
**[18:57] Karin**
Your proposal went through, right?
**[18:59] Karin**
Congrats!
**[19:00] Udon**
That's amazing!
**[19:02] Akari**
I knew you could do it.
**[19:04] Kukuru**
Miura-san bought a jellyfish plushie.
**[19:07] Kukuru**
She said she'll show it off at home.
**[19:09] Fuuka**
That's great.
**[19:11] Kukuru**
She had no interest at first,
but she fell in love after.
**[19:15] Kukuru**
Even more people might fall in love
with animals, if the weddings work out.
**[19:20] Fuuka**
I hope it happens.
**[19:22] Kukuru**
Yeah. I have to work hard
to make it happen.
**[19:24] Akari**
I thought you're transferring,
though, Kukuru-san.
**[19:29] Akari**
Aren't you becoming an attendant?
**[19:32] Kukuru**
I was so busy with the project
that I forgot.
**[19:37] Karin**
I applied to be an attendant, too.
**[19:40] Udon**
Wow, it's happening, huh?
**[19:42] Akari**
That's beautiful.
**[19:43] Fuuka**
You've always dreamed
of becoming an attendant.
**[19:45] Karin**
Yeah.
**[19:46] Karin**
It's a rare opportunity.
**[19:48] Karin**
I didn't want to regret not doing it.
**[19:49] Fuuka**
You're awesome.
**[19:51] Fuuka**
It takes courage to do something new.
**[19:54] Kukuru**
What did the assistant director say?
**[19:56] Karin**
He looked really dissatisfied at first.

But he said he'll think about it.
**[20:01] Kukuru**
Thank goodness.
**[20:03] Udon**
I see.
**[20:04] Udon**
It's going to be either Kukuru or Karin-chan
who's taking over for Kai.
**[20:09] Kukuru**
Kai?
**[20:10] Udon**
My mom heard from a Kamee customer...
**[20:14] Udon**
Kai's dad collapsed.
**[20:19] (Flashback) Kai**
Do you have a moment?
**[20:21] (Flashback) Kai**
Nah, next time, then.
**[20:23] (Flashback) Kai**
Break a leg.
**[20:25] Kukuru**
Kai...
**[20:28] Kukuru**
Sorry, Fuuka, I'll pay you back later!
**[20:30] Fuuka**
Kukuru!
***SIGN*** Nakamura Kai

**[20:58] Kukuru**
I heard about your dad.
**[21:00] ---**
Is he okay?
**[21:01] Kai**
Oh, yeah.
**[21:03] Kai**
He needs surgery.
**[21:05] Kai**
I don't think I'll be able
to work for a while.
**[21:08] Kukuru**
I see.
**[21:10] Kukuru**
Are you quitting work here?
**[21:12] Kai**
Don't make that face.
**[21:14] Kai**
I'm not quitting anymore.
**[21:15] Kai**
Just going on leave.
**[21:18] Kai**
The director told me to come back
once my family's all right.
**[21:22] Kukuru**
I never knew.
**[21:24] Kukuru**
Thank goodness.
**[21:25] Kai**
Take care of the animals
for me until then.
**[21:29] Kai**
I'll feel safe if you're the one doing it.
**[21:35] Kai**
Shit!
**[21:36] Kai**
I have to head home.
**[21:38] Kukuru**
I hope your dad gets better soon.
**[21:41] Kai**
Thanks.
**[21:42] Kai**

Here, soft-boiled.
**[00:08] Fuuka**
It turned out good today.
**[00:10] Kukuru**
Thanks.
**[00:18] Fuuka**
Our shifts are the same today, right?
**[00:20] Kukuru**
Yeah.
**[00:21] Fuuka**
I'll make something
for dinner tonight, then.
**[00:24] Fuuka**
Wanna eat together?
**[00:25] Kukuru**
Yay!
**[00:33] Kukuru**
I wish I could know
what Ban-chan's feeling.
**[00:37] Kukuru**
When are they going to get back
to open waters?
**[00:41] Fuuka**
I'm sure they can
when the time comes.
**[00:43] Fuuka**
Like the sea-turtle hatchlings did.
**[00:47] Kukuru**
You're right.
**[02:21] Director**
*Good morning, everyone.*
**[02:23] Director**
* I, Aquarium Tingarla director Hoshino Akira,*
* have an important announcement to make.*
**[02:29] Director**
Our aquarium will be launching
a new research facility,
**[02:32] ---**
opening two years from now.
**[02:35] Director**
*And it's called the USTD Aquatope Project.*
***SIGN*** USTD Aquatope Project
**[02:41] Kuuya**
"USTD"...
**[02:43] Eiji**
Umi-yan and his Shochu pops: Totally Devoted?
**[02:47] Umiyan**
Really?!
**[02:47] Kuuya**
You don't have any.
**[02:48] Director**
* USTD stands for "Under the Sea with*
* sea creatures: Totally Devoted!"*
**[02:56] Eiji**
I was right about the "totally devoted" part.
**[02:58] Kuuya**
Seriously?
**[03:00] Director**
*The Aquatope will be a big project,*
**[03:01] ---**
* involving not just research*
* on species that we raise,*
**[03:05] ---**
* but also exploration of uncharted*
* waters and investigation*
**[03:11] ---**
* into environmental issues*
* affecting marine life.*
**[03:17] Director**
* Climate change, microplastics,*
* overfishing and many other factors*
**[03:21] ---**
* are changing the map*
* of the entire biosphere.*
**[03:27] Director**
*How do we respond to these changes?*
**[03:30] ---**
* What can we do for the future*
* of these critters?*
**[03:34] Director**
* I want us to go beyond an aquarium*
* to ponder these questions.*
**[03:38] Eiji**
Magnificent.
**[03:40] Director**
* Now, we're looking for two people*
* to make up the first crew of this project.*
**[03:45] Director**
*The crew will have plenty to study*
**[03:48] ---**
* during their two-year training course*
* at Waihana Aquarium in Hawaii.*
**[03:54] Chiyu**
Isn't Waihana where the director was before?
**[03:57] Kaoru**
It's the most progressive aquarium
in the world.
**[04:01] Director**
* If you're interested, please write a report*
* detailing your reasons for wanting to join.*
**[04:06] Director**
*It's time for you to step forward!*
***SIGN*** Facility Broadcast
**[04:12] Umiyan**

**[04:14] Eiji**
I'm very interested.
**[04:16] Kuuya**
Overseas? Nope.
**[04:18] Umiyan**
I'm kind of interested, too, but...
**[04:24] Kuuya**
Jeez.
**[04:25] Chiyu**
I don't want to leave
our penguins behind right now.
**[04:29] Marina**
They're finally warming up to us.
**[04:31] Marina**
It does sound fun, though.
**[04:31] A**
Kaoru-san, what about you?
**[04:33] Kaoru**
I'm going to go for it, of course.
**[04:35] Kaoru**
What about you?
**[04:40] Kukuru**
The director's Aquatope?
**[04:42] Kukuru**
It sounds really cool.
**[04:43] Fuuka**
Yeah.
**[04:44] Fuuka**
I hadn't really thought
about oceanic issues until now.
**[04:49] Kukuru**
Imagine being able to train
at an aquarium in Hawaii.
**[04:53] Kukuru**
Wanna go together?
**[04:56] Fuuka**
Yeah!
**[04:57] Kukuru**
Then again, I don't think I can ask for that
after I left without notice.
**[05:03] Kukuru**
Did you want to go?
**[05:05] Fuuka**
Nah.
**[05:06] Fuuka**
Not really.
**[05:08] Fuuka**
You might get to go back
to being an attendant, after all.
**[05:11] Fuuka**
You're interviewing
with the director tomorrow, right?
**[05:14] Kukuru**
Oh, yeah.
**[05:16] Kukuru**
Right, Choko's coming back tomorrow.
**[05:19] Kukuru**
I can't wait to see them.
***SIGN*** I

**[05:43] Fuuka**
* I'd have to be away from Kukuru*

**[05:50] Director**
There's an opening
for a position as attendant.
**[05:53] Director**
Do you wish to transfer?
**[06:00] Director**
How is work in marketing?
**[06:02] Kukuru**
It's difficult.
**[06:04] Kukuru**
The assistant director has given up on me.
**[06:06] Kukuru**
He brought up the transfer
the other day, too.
**[06:09] Kukuru**
He probably doesn't think
I'm cut out for marketing.
**[06:13] Director**
Are you sure about that?
**[06:22] Boss**
Plankton.
**[06:23] Kukuru**
Y-Yes?
**[06:24] Boss**
About that plan you had, to invite local kids
to the new area opening...
**[06:30] Boss**
We got the go-ahead.
**[06:31] Kukuru**
Really?
**[06:32] Boss**
Inform the appropriate departments.
**[06:35] Kukuru**
Yes, sir!
**[06:35] Kukuru**
Thank you!
**[06:46] (Flashback) Director**
Do you know what Suwa-san, the assistant
director, was doing before he came here?
**[06:51] (Flashback) Kukuru**
I heard he worked at a bank.
**[06:54] (Flashback) Director**
Yeah.
**[06:55] (Flashback) Director**
He was in charge of an aquarium
that had gone under.
**[07:00] (Flashback) Director**
And having learned about the sad fate
of the animals after the aquarium closed,
**[07:04] (Flashback) ---**
he was wracked with guilt.
**[07:08] (Flashback) Director**
The first time I met him, he said,
**[07:11] (Flashback) Director**
"I don't ever want
to go through that again."
**[07:15] (Flashback) Director**
He came here to Tingarla
to protect the animals.
**[07:27] Akari**
You look pretty gloomy.
**[07:29] Akari**
Does that mean you didn't
get the attendant position?
**[07:32] Kukuru**
Nah, he just asked if I wanted the job.
**[07:35] Akari**
Oh.
**[07:36] Akari**
You and Karin-san are still rivals, then.
**[07:39] Akari**
Being an attendant would be nice,
**[07:41] ---**
but what about the overseas training
for the Aquatope project?
**[07:44] Karin**
I'm interested, but first I have
to learn the basics of being an attendant.
**[07:48] Karin**
I came to Tingarla because I wanted
to become an attendant, after all.
**[07:52] Kukuru**
Yeah.
**[07:53] Karin**
Even if it doesn't work out this time,
I might get tapped next time.
**[07:57] Akari**
You're so positive, Karin-san.
**[08:00] Akari**
I heard Kaoru-san threw in her hat
for the overseas training.
**[08:04] Kaoru**
It's a perfect opportunity.
**[08:05] Kaoru**
I really want to go.
**[08:07] Chiyu**
I'm rooting for you.
**[08:08] Chiyu**
You've always been interested.
**[08:10] Kaoru**
Yeah.
**[08:17] Kaoru**
Miyazawa-san.
**[08:18] Fuuka**
Yes?
**[08:19] Kaoru**
What are you going to do
about the overseas training?
**[08:22] Fuuka**
What do you mean?
**[08:24] Kaoru**
You said you were interested
in environmental issues.
**[08:27] Kaoru**
You might never get
an opportunity like this again.
**[08:30] Fuuka**
I'm interested,
but I don't want to leave Kukuru.
**[08:35] Kaoru**
Ah.
**[08:36] Kaoru**
Well, it's up to you to decide in the end.
**[08:39] Kaoru**
Bye.
**[08:46] Kai**
Kukuru.
**[08:48] Kukuru**
Kai.
**[08:49] Kukuru**
What's up?
**[08:50] Kai**
I came to pick up my stuff.
**[08:52] Kai**
But then I heard Choko's coming today.
**[08:54] Kai**
I'm going to say "hi"
before I go home.
**[08:56] Kukuru**
Ah.
**[08:57] Kukuru**
How's your dad doing?
**[08:59] Kai**
He's getting surgery
at the end of the month.
**[09:02] Kukuru**
I see.
**[09:04] Kukuru**
I'll go see him sometime.
**[09:06] Kai**
Thanks.
**[09:07] Kai**
You're still in marketing?
**[09:11] Kai**
I thought you would be the one
taking my position.
**[09:15] Kukuru**
Yeah...
**[09:24] Kukuru**
I missed you, Choko, everyone!
**[09:28] Kai**
Everyone remembers you, huh?
**[09:32] Takeshita**
Everyone's in good health.
**[09:35] Chiyu**

You may use any means you wish

Higa-kun, you're up first.
**[12:40] Eiji**
Okay.
**[12:43] Eiji**
This is the fish

**[12:46] Eiji**
Please try it first.

I didn't think we'd be served food.

What do you think?

It's delicious.

It's rich for a white-meat fish.

That's eeltail catfish.
**[13:06] Garandu**
It's poisonous!
**[13:07] Eiji**
Not to worry.
**[13:08] Eiji**
It's been prepared by a professional.
**[13:11] Garandu**
Also, this isn't our eeltail catfish, is it?
**[13:16] Eiji**
Of course not.

Does she think she's doing?
**[14:57] D**
It's the dolphin!
**[14:58] E**
Dolphin!
**[14:59] D**
It tripped!
**[15:01] Fuuka**
I'm fine.
**[15:03] Fuuka**
I want to introduce you
to my friend.
**[15:07] Fuuka**
Ban-chan the bottlenose dolphin.
**[15:09] D**
There!
**[15:10] D**
The dolphin!
**[15:11] E**
It's so cute.
**[15:12] Fuuka**
How old do you think Ban-chan is?
**[15:17] D**
A hundred!
**[15:18] E**
Three! Same as Nii-chan.
**[15:21] Fuuka**
Thank you.
**[15:22] Fuuka**
Ban-chan is still a kid dolphin.
**[15:25] Fuuka**
Probably about a year old.
**[15:27] D**
Still a baby.
**[15:28] Fuuka**
Even at one,
Ban-chan is a good swimmer.
**[15:31] Fuuka**
They normally spend their time
in a big family.
**[15:35] Fuuka**
They chat with each other through whistles.
**[15:40] Fuuka**
"A shark's coming! Look out!"
**[15:42] Fuuka**
"There are some good sardines over there!"
**[15:45] Fuuka**
Stuff like that.
**[15:46] Fuuka**
But a little while ago,
Ban-chan came here all alone.
**[15:51] D**
Isn't their mommy with them?
**[15:54] Fuuka**
She isn't.
**[15:55] Fuuka**
Why do you think Ban-chan is here alone?
**[15:58] Fuuka**
Who thinks they're lost?
**[16:02] Fuuka**
Okay, thank you.
**[16:04] Fuuka**
Who thinks they ran away
from a big, scary fish?
**[16:10] Fuuka**
Who thinks they came to hang out
with friends?
**[16:13] C**
Me!
**[16:14] Fuuka**
Thank you.
**[16:16] Fuuka**
We all have all kinds of thoughts,
**[16:18] ---**
but no one really knows
why Ban-chan came here.
**[16:24] C**
I wish I could talk to Ban-chan.
**[16:27] D**
Aren't their mom and dad worried?
**[16:29] Fuuka**
Yeah...
**[16:31] Fuuka**
I'm sure they miss their family.
**[16:33] Fuuka**
But Ban-chan and the other dolphins
**[16:35] ---**
seem to have a lot of abilities
that humans don't.
**[16:39] Fuuka**
So I believe they'll eventually find
their way back to their family.
**[16:44] Fuuka**
I hope you all join me
in watching over Ban-chan.
**[16:47] A**
Okay!

But the Aquatope isn't a kids' facility.
**[17:47] Director**
That's not true.
**[17:49] Director**
Anything goes, with *USTD.*
**[17:52] Garandu**
She was asking a lot of questions.
**[17:55] B**
Maybe she wanted the children
to ask questions.
**[17:59] Garandu**
She's still a child in many ways at this job.
**[18:03] Garandu**
So maybe she's asking those
questions of herself, too.
**[18:07] Director**
There are all kinds of
creatures at an aquarium.
**[18:10] Director**
They take on forms and ways of being
that are foreign to human common sense.
**[18:15] Director**
The children who come to an aquarium
have their imaginations
**[18:19] ---**
inspired by being exposed
to all kinds of strange things.
**[18:23] Director**
That may also lead to being imaginative
about other people.
**[18:27] Director**
Don't you think that would make
for a very kind world?
**[18:32] Director**
I sometimes dream...
**[18:35] Director**
that some of the children
who come to the aquarium
**[18:38] ---**
will go on to think deeply about life
and discover new things.
**[18:44] Director**
They might solve environmental issues someday.
**[18:49] Director**
They might get to see species
that have gone extinct.
**[18:52] Director**
They might come to be able
to communicate with the animals someday.
**[18:58] Director**
Don't you get excited that our work
might someday be connected to such a place?
**[19:16] Kukuru**
I heard.
**[19:18] Kukuru**
Congratulations.
**[19:21] Kukuru**
You were chosen for the
overseas training, weren't you?
**[19:27] Fuuka**
I can't go.
**[19:30] Fuuka**
I can't leave you.
**[19:37] Kukuru**
I decided...
**[19:39] Kukuru**
to stay in marketing.
**[19:43] Fuuka**
Not as an attendant?
**[19:45] Kukuru**
I want to gain the skills to protect the animals
through my marketing work.
**[19:50] Kukuru**
I think there's still more I can learn
from the assistant director.
**[19:54] Kukuru**
I'm sorry I kept worrying you.
**[19:57] Kukuru**
I turned you into my big sister.
**[20:00] Fuuka**
That's not true.
**[20:02] Kukuru**
No.
**[20:03] Kukuru**
I was being a baby.
**[20:04] Kukuru**
When Gama Gama was going away,
when I was stuck in my marketing work,
**[20:09] ---**
when I ran off to the islands
without telling anyone...
**[20:12] Kukuru**
You were always next to me.
**[20:16] Kukuru**
But I can't keep depending on you.
**[20:22] Kukuru**
So you can go.
Don't worry about me.
**[20:25] Fuuka**
No!
**[20:27] Fuuka**
I've made it until now
because you were next to me!
**[20:30] Fuuka**
I'm the one who needs you.
**[20:34] Fuuka**
But I can't give up
on studying more, either.
**[20:48] Kukuru**
I'll be your big sister this time.
**[20:52] Kukuru**
Your big sister will be waiting here.
**[20:55] Kukuru**
So go on ahead.
**[20:59] Kukuru**
Study lots while you're there.

11:00 Stocking up White Sand Dome
**[02:03] Kukuru**
I hadn't been to Gama Gama in a while.
**[02:06] Fuuka**
Must have been a nice dream.
**[02:07] Kukuru**
Yeah!
**[02:12] Kukuru**
Do what's right,
and everything will work out.
**[02:16] Kukuru**
Do you think
the kijimunaa will appreciate it?
**[02:18] Fuuka**
I hope it comes.
**[02:20] Kukuru**
Yeah.
**[02:21] Kukuru**
Okay, see you there!
**[02:22] Fuuka**
Hey, wait up!
**[02:25] Umi**
Stocking up is a race against time.
**[02:28] Kukuru**
Right!
**[02:29] Umi**
Let's all hunker down and focus.
**[02:31] Kukuru**
Right!
**[03:00] Garandu**
Steady, steady...
**[03:02] Garandu**
Stop!
**[03:15] Garandu**
There.
**[03:16] A**
One honeycomb grouper.
**[03:18] Kaoru**
One honeycomb grouper.
**[03:56] Garandu**
One blackeye thicklip wrasse.
**[03:57] A**
One blackeye thicklip wrasse.
**[03:59] Kuuya**
Okay, you're clear.
**[04:34] Marina**
Karin-san, are you all right?
**[04:36] Karin**
You need a lot of strength
as an attendant, huh?
**[04:39] Marina**
It doesn't take long to get used to it!
**[04:41] Director**
All the animals have been stocked.
**[04:44] Director**
Thank you!
**[04:53] Kukuru**
Welcome.
**[04:55] Kukuru**
This is your new home.
**[04:59] Fuuka**
We have more family now.
**[05:01] Kukuru**
Yeah.
**[05:02] Marina**
I collected some stuff!
**[05:05] Kukuru**
Thanks, Marina-san!
**[05:07] Marina**
It was fun.
**[05:08] Kukuru**
Okay, let's start pasting it on here.
**[05:10] Marina**
It's a welcome board!
**[05:11] Fuuka**
Kind of like the one at Gama Gama, huh?
**[05:14] Kukuru**
In fact, a bride and groom asked us for it.
**[05:17] Kukuru**
They had their first date
at Gama Gama Aquarium.
***SIGN*** Welcome to Gama Gama Aquarium
**[05:21] Kukuru**
They remember the welcome board,
so they wanted it to look like that.
**[05:25] Karin**
And they had no idea that you'd made it?
**[05:28] Kukuru**
Yeah!
**[05:28] Kukuru**
So I feel weirdly special about them.
**[05:32] Kaoru**
Hello.
**[05:33] Chiyu**
Can we help with anything?
**[05:34] Kukuru**
Really?
**[05:36] Chiyu**
I wouldn't be here
if I didn't want to be.
**[05:38] Kukuru**
Okay, could you draw some animals
on these cards?
**[05:42] Fuuka**
Like this.
**[05:43] Chiyu**
Huh.
**[05:44] Kaoru**
You're doing some unique stuff in marketing.
**[05:47] Kukuru**
Sometimes I'm not sure if this is really
in the best interest of sea life.
**[05:53] Kukuru**
But all you can do is take on what's
in front of you with all your heart, right?
**[05:58] Chiyu**
I'll help.
**[05:59] Kukuru**
Thank you!
**[06:05] A**
There we go.
**[06:08] Kukuru**
We'll be holding the wedding ceremony
on the day before opening,
**[06:11] Kukuru**
and then on the day after that,
**[06:12] ---**
we're scheduled to open it
to the general public.
**[06:17] Miura**
Please and thank you.
**[06:22] Kukuru**
Do what's right,
and everything will work out.
**[06:28] Kukuru**
I'll be going now.
**[06:34] A**
It's *actually* an aquarium.
**[06:36] B**
It's at a place called White
Sand Dome, apparently.
**[06:39] C**
It said to come dressed
ready to be barefoot, but...
**[06:47] ---**
What's this?
**[06:48] C**
We asked the newlyweds
for their guests' best features
**[06:52] ---**
and prepared cards that
are perfect for each of them.
***SIGN*** The Gourmet of the Sea, a Finicky Eater
***SIGN*** Dear Hana-chan, Thanks for coming all the way here. When we were in grade school, we'd never run out of things to talk about. Though we usually just talked about trivial things (lol) But you tell me exactly what you're thinking when I don't know what to do. And I really respect that as a friend. Please never change and always be the Hana-chan that loves to eat. Nagisa
**[06:55] C**
"*Verconia simplex*"?
**[06:58] B**
"Randalli pistol shrimp"?
**[06:59] A**
"Pufferfish"?
**[07:01] Kukuru**
Sea slugs are very picky eaters.
**[07:04] Kukuru**
Pistol shrimp build their own nests
in a hurry. They're hard-working.
**[07:08] Kukuru**
Pufferfish move their mouths a lot.
**[07:11] Kukuru**
They're talkative.
**[07:14] A**
I get it.
**[07:15] Kukuru**
Please explore the facility
at your leisure after the ceremony.
**[07:18] Kukuru**
We hope you enjoy your day.
**[07:21] C**
Did you hear that? I'm a sea slug.
**[07:23] B**
Let's go check them out later.
**[07:25] Akari**
Your idea was a hit, Kukuru-san.
**[07:30] Kukuru**
Well, I'd better get going.
**[07:32] Akari**
Okay.
**[07:39] A**
*Please welcome the bride and groom.*
**[07:52] B**
Congratulations!
**[07:53] C**
Wow.
**[08:00] D**
So this is what they meant
by a barefoot wedding.
**[08:04] D**
This is fun!
**[08:05] E**
The sand's nice and soft.
**[08:07] Kukuru**
Can you do it just as we practiced?
**[08:10] Yui**
Okay!
**[08:10] Kukuru**
*And now for the wedding ring.*
**[08:13] Kukuru**
* The ring bearer is Yui-chan,*
* the bride and groom's daughter,*
**[08:15] ---**
*who's dressed in a Cape penguin outfit.*
**[08:18] A**
She's adorable.
**[08:24] Kukuru**
Eiji-san, can you hear me?
**[08:26] Eiji**
Yes, standing by.
**[08:28] Kukuru**
*It's time now.*
**[08:30] Eiji**
Roger.
**[08:37] Kukuru**
We'll be taking photos.
**[08:39] Kukuru**
Over here, please.
**[08:42] Yui**
Look, Dad, Mom!
**[08:45] A**
*The fish are celebrating, too.*
**[08:48] B**
Here we go.
**[08:52] A**
* We ask the guests to join in*
* for the next photo.*
**[08:58] Bride**
* We decided to hold our wedding at Tingarla,*
* because our daughter loves aquariums.*
**[09:06] Bride**
* The penguin costume was made for us*
* by the aquarium staff.*
**[09:12] Bride**
* Seeing how happy our daughter is,*
* I'm very glad we held our wedding here.*
**[09:21] Groom**
*Though our wedding was held on sand,*
**[09:25] ---**
* we hope to build a family together*
* with a strong foundation.*
**[09:33] Groom**
Thank you.
**[09:43] C**
There they are!
**[09:44] C**
Randalli pistol shrimp!
**[09:45] B**
They're so small!
**[09:47] B**
I bet they're wimps.
**[09:50] Kukuru**
We're done!
**[09:53] Miura**
Not yet.
**[09:54] Miura**
Now we have to do a teardown.
**[09:56] Kukuru**
I'll do my best!
**[09:57] Miura**
But first, thank you for your work.
**[10:00] Miura**
And thank you for a fantastic wedding.
**[10:05] Kukuru**
Thank you.
**[10:07] Miura**
Good luck on your opening tomorrow.
**[10:09] Kukuru**
Thanks!
**[10:14] A**
Welcome.
**[10:17] B**
Welcome.
**[10:19] ---**
Welcome.
**[10:20] B**
This way, please.
**[10:20] ---**
Welcome to Tingarla!
**[10:22] C**
One moment, please.
**[10:23] Boss**
Welcome to Tingarla.
**[10:26] Kukuru**
The White Sand Dome opens today.
**[10:29] B**
Welcome.
**[10:29] Garandu**
All right, let's make it
another productive day.
**[10:33] Kukuru**
Please and thank you!
**[10:35] Kukuru**
Thank you for coming.
**[10:38] Kai**
Hey.
**[10:38] Udon**
What's up?
**[10:39] Kukuru**
Udon-chan. Kai.
**[10:41] Udon**
You're killing it!
**[10:44] Kukuru**
Thanks.
**[10:45] Kukuru**
You two must be busy.
**[10:48] Kukuru**
Maho-chan, you came, too.
**[10:50] Maho**
Hello.
**[10:51] Kai**
Dad's doing a lot better now.
**[10:53] Kukuru**
Thank goodness.
**[10:54] Udon**
I'm not actually that busy.
**[10:57] Udon**
My training period is almost over, too.
**[11:00] Kukuru**
Are you going back to Kamee, then?
**[11:01] Udon**
That's a secret.
**[11:04] Kai**
You're busy today, aren't you?
**[11:06] Udon**
We'll go wander around.
**[11:08] Kukuru**
Yeah, see you later.
**[11:11] Marina**
I heard there's a lineup at the door.
**[11:13] Marina**
White Sand Dome's a huge hit!
**[11:16] Kaoru**
Is Shizu-kun coming, too?
**[11:17] Chiyu**
Yeah.
**[11:18] Chiyu**
His grandma's bringing him.
**[11:19] Marina**
It feels like a festival.
**[11:21] Marina**
I'm pumped!
**[11:25] Karin**
This is where the injured and weak fish
come to rest up for a bit.
**[11:30] Rui**
Yakamashi-san, have you moved into
a higher position than you were at Gama Gama?
**[11:34] Kuuya**
Shut up.
**[11:35] Takeshita**
There aren't that many doctors
that specialize in fish,
**[11:38] ---**
and there aren't that many medicines.
**[11:39] Takeshita**
So we adjust the dosages
and give them human medication.
**[11:51] Kukuru**
Gramps! Grams!
**[11:53] Kukuru**
Thanks for coming!
**[11:55] Grams**
We wanted to see Choko
and the others, too.
**[12:01] Marina**
Everyone, we're going
to begin feeding the penguins!
**[12:05] Shizu**
Mom!
**[12:08] ---**
Here.
**[12:10] Grams**
Fuuka-chan's gotten good, too.
**[12:13] Grams**
You wouldn't believe she's the same girl
who fell into a tank.
**[12:18] Kukuru**
Hey, Gramps...
**[12:21] Kukuru**
Were there ever times when you felt
miserable working at Gama Gama?
**[12:25] Gramps**
Plenty of times.
**[12:27] Kukuru**
Really?
**[12:28] Gramps**
Yes. Although looking back now,
they were all good lessons.
**[12:35] Gramps**
There's a lot that
you don't realize until later.
**[12:40] Gramps**
Keep working even when times are tough,
**[12:44] ---**
and there will be times
when you're rewarded.
**[12:47] Gramps**
Just once in a while.
**[12:52] Kukuru**
It's been bugging me.
**[12:55] Kukuru**
Gama Gama was all fun.
**[12:59] Kukuru**
But Tingarla is nothing like that.
**[13:02] Kukuru**
I still don't know yet,
if I should have stayed in marketing.
**[13:09] Kukuru**
Hey, Gramps, what should I do now?
**[13:17] Gramps**
The answer is already in you, Kukuru.
**[13:23] Gramps**
Do yourself the favor of turning
the path you chose into the correct one.
**[13:34] Gramps**
The future of aquariums is up to you now.
**[13:57] Fuuka**
Well?
**[13:59] Kukuru**
Yeah.
**[14:00] Kukuru**
It's good.
**[14:02] Fuuka**
Yeah, it is.
**[14:05] Fuuka**
When I...
**[14:08] Fuuka**
When I first came to Gama Gama,
I'd just lost my dream.
**[14:13] Fuuka**
It didn't matter how pretty the fish were.
**[14:16] Fuuka**
I felt like I was drowning
in the bottom of a dark sea.
**[14:19] Kukuru**
Me, too.
**[14:21] Kukuru**
I felt like that
when Gama Gama was gone.
**[14:25] Fuuka**
But it's not like that now.
**[14:28] Fuuka**
The animals and water are all dazzling.
**[14:31] Fuuka**
I feel like I could swim on forever.
**[14:35] Kukuru**
This is our new start, huh?
**[14:39] Fuuka**
I love Tingarla.
**[14:43] Kukuru**
Me, too.
**[14:45] Kukuru**
This place, the people who work here,
all the things that live here.
**[14:56] Kukuru**
I love aquariums.
**[16:17] Fuuka**
I'm going to become a First Penguin.
**[16:20] Fuuka**
I'll be back all grown up.
**[16:23] Kukuru**
Off you go.
**[16:25] Fuuka**
I'll be back!
**[16:37] Kukuru**
*There probably isn't just one answer.*
**[16:46] Fuuka**
*I won't stop, even when I'm troubled.*
**[16:51] Kukuru**
*We'll have the same dreams*
**[16:54] Fuuka**
*and seek out the future.*
**[16:57] Kukuru**
*All we can do is...*
**[17:01] Kukuru**
*...continue thinking about living creatures.*

**[17:19] Kukuru**
Hello.
**[17:21] Kukuru**
This is Misakino.
**[17:23] Kukuru**
Yes.
**[17:24] Kukuru**
We sent a facility report yesterday by email.
**[17:27] Garandu**
Misakino-kun looks busy.
**[17:29] Eiji**
She's been given USTD work,
in addition to her project-planning work.
**[17:33] Eiji**
Preparations to receive the trainee team
when they return soon.
**[17:37] Garandu**
That's amazing.
**[17:38] Garandu**
She does attendant work *and* marketing work.
**[17:40] Garandu**
She might get tapped
to be the director at some point.
**[17:42] Eiji**
Those conditions apply to me as well.
**[17:49] Boss**
Hey, Nekton.
**[17:50] Kukuru**
Yes?
**[17:51] Boss**
Where's the annual event plan report?
**[17:53] Garandu**
"Nekton"?
**[17:53] Kukuru**
I'm on it.
**[17:54] Eiji**
The plankton seems to have gained
the ability to swim.
**[17:57] Garandu**
So she's worked her way up just a little.
**[18:00] Director**
Maeda Akari-san.
**[18:02] Akari**
Yes, sir!
**[18:03] Director**
You are assigned to Project PR in marketing.
**[18:07] Akari**
I'm going to be Kukuru-san's junior?
**[18:10] Akari**
Yay!
**[18:11] Akari**
I'm honored!
**[18:14] Director**
Next, Takeshita-sensei...
**[18:15] ---**
Yes, sir.
**[18:16] Director**
I hereby direct you to take maternity leave.
**[18:21] Takeshita**
Thank you.
**[18:23] Takeshita**
I'll give birth to a healthy baby.
**[18:25] Kuuya**
A lot of the off-the-shelf stuff
isn't too usable.
**[18:30] Kuuya**
So we also make our own
for the specific spot.
**[18:32] Karin**
Understood.
**[18:38] Kuuya**
What?
**[18:39] Karin**
I was just surprised
that you're being an actual chief.
**[18:42] Karin**
And you aren't complaining about women.
**[18:44] Kuuya**
What do you expect? Work is work.
**[18:46] Karin**
You're such a grown-up now!
**[18:48] Karin**
I mean... You're actually
pretty old now, aren't you?
**[18:51] Karin**
Maybe you skipped being a grown-up
straight to being elderly.
**[18:53] Kuuya**
We're the same age!
**[18:58] Kai**
Are Shiratama and Choko...
**[19:01] Chiyu**
No doubt.
**[19:02] Chiyu**
They're a couple.
**[19:03] Kai**
But Choko's a geezer,
and Shiratama's only two-years old.
**[19:07] Chiyu**
That's not a big deal in the penguin world.
**[19:10] Chiyu**
Gay couples, age-gap couples,
love triangles...
**[19:14] Chiyu**
They specialize in free relationships.
**[19:17] Kai**
I had no idea.
**[19:21] Kai**
I hope you find happiness.
**[19:24] Marina**
Hi!
**[19:25] Marina**
I'm your new caretaker, Marina!
**[19:29] Marina**
You can call me "Chief."
**[19:37] Marina**
You're all business, aren't you?
**[19:41] Umi**
I can't wait.
**[19:42] Umi**
It's been two years, huh?
**[19:44] Udon**
Let's hold a "Welcome Home" party!
**[19:46] Umi**
Sounds nice.
**[19:47] Umi**
Make us something awesome, Chef Tsukimi.
**[19:50] Udon**
Of course.
**[19:51] Udon**
I want to hear all their stories.
**[19:53] Udon**
There's a lot I want
to talk to them about, too.
**[20:03] Kaoru**
I can't wait to see them.
**[20:05] Kaoru**
I wonder how they're doing.
**[20:06] Fuuka**
I'm excited, too.
**[20:11] Fuuka**
Sorry, there's somewhere
I want to drop by first.
**[20:20] Kaoru**
I'll see you there.
**[20:22] Fuuka**
Thank you.
**[21:23] Fuuka**
I'm home, Kukuru.
**[21:26] Kukuru**
Welcome back, Fuuka.
**[22:53] Kukuru**
Hey, Fuuka...
