[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
SIGN    In attendance (Attendants, Marketing, Facility)
SIGN    Shimabukuro Kaoru, Yonekura Marina, Kudaka Karin, Misakino Kukuru
[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,

    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

[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.

    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.

    I'll come by the shop
    sometime again.

    Sure.

    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.

    Let's explain and try to
    have them understand.

    I'm going to make them!

    I've made hand-made stickers before.

[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.
