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.
SIGN The aquatope on white sand
[17:16] Kukuru
Aquatope Ready Room.
[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...
[22:54] Fuuka
Yeah?
[22:56] Kukuru
I never knew your name meant "snow."
[22:59] Fuuka
Yeah.
[23:00] Fuuka
"Wind flower" refers to the snow
that flutters on a sunny day.
[23:04] Kukuru
Fuuka's a perfect name in Okinawa, though.
[23:08] Fuuka
Is it?
[23:09] Kukuru
This island's made of wind,
flowers, and coral.
[23:15] Fuuka
Wind, flowers, coral,
[23:18] ---
and soul.
