[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!

    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.

    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

    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.

    There isn't much we can do,

[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.

    It'll be great taking care
    of the animals together again.

    Yeah!

    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.

    I'd totally wear a mermaid dress.

[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.
[20:00] Karin
    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
[20:51] Kai
    There.
[20:52] Kukuru
    Kai!
[20:54] Kai
    Kukuru.
[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
    Later!
