[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.

[19:18] 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.
