**[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,
***SIGN*** Giant manta ray
***SIGN*** Green sea turtle
***SIGN*** Amethyst anthias
***SIGN*** Pyramid butterflyfish
***SIGN*** Moon jellyfish
***SIGN*** Flashlight fish
***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.

**[15:53] Akari**
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!
***SIGN*** Forgive me, sire
**[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.

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?

**[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.
