[00:05] (Flashback) Kukuru
    It's so cute.
[00:07] (Flashback) Mom
    Gramps says you can name this one.
[00:11] (Flashback) Kukuru
    Really?
[00:13] (Flashback) Kukuru
    Let's see...
[00:14] (Flashback) Kukuru
    I like "Choko."
[00:16] (Flashback) Kukuru
    Because it goes chokochoko
    tottering around.
[00:18] (Flashback) Dad
    That sounds good.
[00:21] (Flashback) Mom
    You're going to have to give it
    lots of love.
[00:24] (Flashback) Kukuru
    Yup.
[00:49] Fuuka
    There.
[00:51] Grandma
    Thanks as always, Fuuka-chan.
[00:54] Gramps
    It's delicious.
[00:56] Fuuka
    Shall I make some tea?
[00:58] Gramps
    I'll have some.
[01:03] Kukuru
    I know you're freeloading,
    but you don't have to do all this for us.
[01:07] Fuuka
    It makes me happy
    to see you appreciate it, though.
[01:11] Kukuru
    If you say so, Fuuka.
[01:14] Gramps
    Thanks.
[01:15] Kukuru
    Oh, I have remedial classes today.
[01:18] Kukuru
    I'll see you at work.
[01:19] Fuuka
    Got it.
[01:30] Sensei
    You can leave once you've
    submitted your work.
[01:33] A
    Later, Sensei.
[01:35] Sensei
    Yep.
[01:35] Sensei
    You'd better be here tomorrow.
[01:37] ---
    Sure.
[01:37] Kukuru
    Bye, Sensei.
[01:39] Sensei
    Misakino.
[01:41] ---
    Yeah?
[01:42] Sensei
    Your brain's an aquarium, isn't it?
[01:44] Kukuru
    It is.
[01:46] Sensei
    That's fine and all,
    but you need to stop missing classes,
[01:50] ---
    or you're going to have
    a hard time graduating.
[01:53] Kukuru
    I wouldn't mind quitting,
    but Gramps says I should finish high school.
[01:57] Sensei
    Listen...
[01:58] Sensei
    I've been going easy on you, because I know
    you're going to inherit the aquarium.
[02:03] Sensei
    But it might be closing, right?
[02:06] Kukuru
    Who told you that?!
[02:07] Sensei
    It's just a rumor.
[02:09] Sensei
    I heard you're the director there right now.
[02:12] Sensei
    You're a high-schooler.
[02:14] Sensei
    You need to take it easy.
[02:15] Kukuru
    No one's going to do it if I don't!
[02:21] Kukuru
    Pardon me.
[02:25] Sensei
    It's a gift to have something
    you care about so much, but I mean...
[02:34] A
    Misakino-san.
[02:36] A
    Are you going to the aquarium again?
[02:37] Kukuru
    Yeah.
[02:38] Kukuru
    I'm on my way there.
[02:39] B
    You're so hard working.
    Good for you.
[02:41] A
    I support you.
[02:43] Kukuru
    You could come hang out,
    if you want to support me.
[02:45] Kukuru
    We're going to hold a bunch
    of events over the summer.
[02:49] A
    Okay.
[02:50] A
    I'll go on a date there.
[02:51] Kukuru
    Huh?
[02:52] Kukuru
    You have a boyfriend?
[02:53] A
    I'll make sure I have one
    by the end of this summer.
[02:57] Kukuru
    See you.
[02:58] A
    Bye.
[03:06] Gramps
    Kuuya-kun, I'm done for the day.
[03:10] Kuuya
    You're leaving already?
[03:12] Gramps
    Yeah.
[03:13] Gramps
    I'm headed to Fukuoka.
[03:14] Gramps
    I'll be late.
[03:17] Kuuya
    Any luck finding people to adopt the animals?
[03:20] Gramps
    For only about half of them.
[03:23] Kuuya
    I see.
[03:24] Gramps
    Don't worry.
[03:25] Gramps
    I'll find people to adopt the staff, too.
[03:28] Kuuya
    No, I was kind of taken in by you.
[03:34] Kuuya
    I haven't really thought about the future.
[03:48] Fuuka
    Thank you.
[03:58] Fuuka
    This is so cute.
SIGN    First Penguin
SIGN    Key chains
[04:02] Fuuka
    "First Penguin"?
[04:04] Kuuya
    Oh, those?
[04:05] Kuuya
    The acting director made those.
[04:08] Kuuya
    They don't sell too well.
[04:11] Kuuya
    The postcards sell out.
[04:13] Kuuya
    Be sure to stock extra.
[04:15] Fuuka
    Got it.
[04:17] Kuuya
    Nope. Nope.
SIGN    What's a First Penguin?
SIGN    Someone who courageously takes on risks,
    like the first penguin that jumps into the water regardless of circumstances.
    It can terrifying to be the first person to challenge something new,
    but once you do, the others will follow. A First Penguin has strength
    within them to have a positive impact on the people around them.
[04:21] Fuuka
    "Someone who courageously takes on risks,
[04:27] ---
    like the first penguin that jumps
    into the water regardless of circumstances."
[04:32] A
    It's been a while.
[04:34] Kukuru
    Kai!
[04:35] Kukuru
    Thanks for waiting.
[04:37] Kai
    I'm here, as promised.
[04:40] Kuuya
    Man, I'm so glad you're a dude.
[04:45] Kuuya
    Thanks, Kai-kun.
[04:45] Fuuka
    I've never seen him smile like that.
[04:47] Kukuru
    He's just not good around girls.
[04:49] Kukuru
    He doesn't mean anything by it.
[04:52] Kai
    I'm Nakamura Kai.
[04:54] Kai
    I'm going to be working with
    you here starting today.
[04:55] Kai
    I look forward to it.
[04:57] Kukuru
    Kai, you can help Kuuya-san with his jobs.
[05:00] Kukuru
    Fuuka and I are going to weigh the penguins.
[05:03] Fuuka
    O-Okay.
[05:10] Fuuka
    Penguins...
[05:15] Kukuru
    We weigh each of the penguins, one by one.
[05:19] Kukuru
    I usually start with Choko.
[05:22] Kukuru
    We normally do routine checkups, but the vet,
    Takeshita-sensei, is on maternity leave.
[05:28] Fuuka
    Um, Kukuru...
[05:30] Fuuka
    Director Kukuru.
[05:31] Kukuru
    You can call me "Kukuru," remember?
[05:34] Fuuka
    But it's easier to call you "Director" at work.
[05:37] Kukuru
    Yeah?
[05:39] Fuuka
    How do you tell these kids apart?
[05:42] Kukuru
    You can read the tags on their flippers.
[05:45] Kukuru
    But you'll start noticing things
    that are unique about each of them.
[05:49] Kukuru
    Choko is friendly and wants to be pampered.
[05:51] Kukuru
    Choko's been here for nearly fifteen years
    
[05:53] Kukuru
    and is used to the staff, too.
[05:55] Fuuka
    Oh yeah, when I was feeding them
     the first time...
[06:02] Fuuka
    Choko-san was at the front.
[06:05] Fuuka
    I'm going to be calm this time.
[06:12] Kukuru
    You managed to feed 'em.
[06:14] Fuuka
    Thank goodness.
[06:16] Kukuru
    Choko's a big eater.
[06:18] Fuuka
    Really?
[06:19] Kukuru
    Yeah.
[06:20] Kukuru
    The attendants have to be able
    to know really quickly
[06:23] ---
    how much they've had to eat
    and adjust their feed.
[06:28] Kukuru
    More for the lighter ones;
    less for the chubby ones, for example.
[06:33] Kukuru
    That's why we weigh them.
[06:35] Fuuka
    Okay.
[06:38] Fuuka
    Eat well, Choko-san.
[06:42] Kukuru
    Huh?
[06:43] Kukuru
    Something seems off.
[06:45] ---
    Choko?
[06:46] ---
    Really?
[06:50] ---
    This is...
[06:52] Kukuru
    Bumblefoot?
SIGN    June 25, 2006 (Sunday)
SIGN    Madeleine (Male, 9 years)
SIGN    Left foot: center sore (3.0mm high, 2.9mm wide)
SIGN    Right foot: center sore (4.2mm high, 3.8mm wide)
SIGN    Area around sores and heels are rough
[06:54] Kukuru
    It's a problem that penguins often have.
[06:56] Kukuru
    It's kind of like having corns,
    but when it gets bad, it can become contagious.
[07:00] Kukuru
    We can't leave it untreated.
[07:02] Kuuya
    Penguins in aquariums tend
    not to get enough activity on their own.
[07:06] Kuuya
    So they're susceptible to these symptoms.
[07:09] Kukuru
    We walk them to try to prevent it.
[07:12] Kuuya
    Just talk to the director when he gets back.
[07:16] Kukuru
    This might be too urgent for that.
[07:19] Kuuya
    Nah, you should leave this to a veteran.
[07:23] Kukuru
    I'm the director!
[07:26] Kukuru
    I'll talk to Takeshita-sensei.
[07:29] Fuuka
    The one on maternity leave?
[07:30] Kuuya
    No, man.
[07:31] Kuuya
    You gotta report to the director first.
[07:33] Kukuru
    I'm just going to make a quick call.
[07:42] Kukuru
    Really?
[07:44] Takeshita
    Yeah.
[07:45] Takeshita
    I'll go take a quick look.
[07:46] Takeshita
    You want it checked out quickly, right?
[07:48] Kukuru
    Thank you.
[07:49] Kukuru
    I appreciate it.
[07:50] Kukuru
    Yes.
[07:51] Kukuru
    Yes.
[07:54] Fuuka
    Hi, pardon me.
[07:57] Fuuka
    The director asked me to help you out.
[08:00] Kai
    Then, I haven't done these
    ones yet, so could you?
[08:03] Fuuka
    Okay.
[08:14] Kai
    I'll get it.
[08:19] Fuuka
    Thank you.
[08:21] Fuuka
    You're like a man of the sea.
[08:24] Kai
    Me?
[08:25] Fuuka
    You're not really like Kuuya-san.
[08:29] Kai
    That guy? For sure.
[08:35] Kai
    How are things?
[08:37] Fuuka
    What things?
[08:39] Kai
    Kukuru.
[08:40] Kai
    You're living with her, aren't you?
[08:42] Fuuka
    Yes.
[08:42] Fuuka
    I'm in her care.
[08:44] Kai
    She can be kind of odd.
[08:48] Kai
    And she's an aquarium freak,
    so she's constantly talking about fish.
[08:52] Fuuka
    I know what you mean.
[08:55] Kai
    Kukuru lost her parents when she was little.
[09:01] Kai
    She used to come to Gama Gama Aquarium
    with her parents a lot, apparently.
[09:06] Kai
    Her most precious memories must be here.
[09:10] Kai
    Her gramps took her in,
    and she's been helping at the aquarium.
[09:14] Kai
    The fish must be
    like a surrogate family to her.
[09:20] Kai
    Her whole reason for becoming the director
    for the summer was to protect this place.
[09:24] Kai
    I think she's having it rough,
    doing it all by herself.
[09:29] Kai
    So I want you to help her out.
[09:34] Kai
    I'll do the best I can, too.
[09:36] Kai
    With heavy lifting and stuff.
[09:38] Fuuka
    Okay.
[09:40] Fuuka
    You're kind, huh?
[09:41] Kai
    No, she's just an annoying friend.
[09:44] Kai
    That's all.
SIGN    Kamee Diner
[09:46] Karin
    I'm so pissed!
[09:49] Karin
    I keep asking for extensions
    on the subsidies for Gama Gama,
[09:52] ---
    but they just won't listen.
[09:54] Tsukimi
    That's bureaucracy for you.
[09:57] Karin
    Those assholes even had the nerve to tell me
[10:00] ---
    that it's ridiculous
    the director is a high-schooler.
[10:02] Tsukimi
    Hey, watch your language.
[10:06] Tsukimi
    I like that you're doing all that for her, though.
[10:09] Tsukimi
    You're such a nice person, Karin-chan.
[10:16] Karin
    I just don't want to see Gama Gama go away.
[10:20] Karin
    I've gone there a ton of times
    since I was little.
[10:23] Karin
    It's a precious part of my hometown.
[10:25] Karin
    I don't know how to describe it.
[10:27] Tsukimi
    I kind of get it.
[10:29] Karin
    Besides, how could you not want to support her?
[10:32] Karin
    She's working so hard.
[10:36] Tsukimi
    And here's a freebie
    for this hard-working lady.
[10:41] Karin
    Udon-chan!
[10:47] Kukuru
    Takeshita-sensei!
[10:49] Takeshita
    Sorry I'm late.
[10:51] Takeshita
    The traffic was really bad.
[10:54] Kukuru
    You've gotten big.
[10:57] Takeshita
    I'm past due,
    but he just won't come out.
[11:01] Kukuru
    I'm sorry, Sensei.
[11:03] Kukuru
    I dragged you out here.
[11:05] ---
    It's fine.
[11:06] Takeshita
    My doctor even told me
    some exercise will do us good.
[11:14] Takeshita
    You're right, Kukuru-chan.
[11:16] Takeshita
    It's an early case of bumblefoot.
[11:18] Kukuru
    It is, huh?
[11:19] Takeshita
    Let's use wound dressing.
[11:22] Takeshita
    We'll protect the affected area,
    so it doesn't get dirty or wet,
[11:25] ---
    and observe Choko in a dry area.
[11:29] Takeshita
    That's the best we can do for now.
[11:32] Kukuru
    Understood.
[11:37] Kukuru
    Sensei, if it's all right, would you be able
    to check on the other penguins?
[11:43] Takeshita
    Sure.
[11:44] Takeshita
    Since I'm here,
    I might as well take a look.
[11:47] Kukuru
    Thank you!
[11:49] Kukuru
    But are you really sure?
[11:53] Takeshita
    I'm fine.
[11:59] Kukuru
    What's wrong?
[12:02] Takeshita
    It hurts a little.
SIGN    Life Begins In the Ocean
[12:13] Kukuru
    Are you all right, Sensei?
[12:16] Takeshita
    I think my water broke.
[12:19] Kukuru
    What do we do?
[12:20] Kukuru
    This is my fault.
[12:23] Kukuru
    I'm sorry.
[12:24] Takeshita
    Could you call a taxi?
[12:26] Takeshita
    And get my bag.
[12:28] Kukuru
    O-Okay.
[12:33] Kuuya
    Hey, no running in the aquarium.
[12:36] Kukuru
    It's about to be born!
[12:37] Kuuya
    The damselfish?
[12:38] Kukuru
    The bag!
[12:39] Kukuru
    Takeshita-sensei's bag!
[12:41] Kuuya
    What's gotten into you, Acting Director?
[12:50] Kukuru
    I have to get a grip.
[12:52] Kukuru
    Kuuya-san, get Kai and Fuuka.
[12:55] Kukuru
    Takeshita-sensei's water broke.
[12:57] Kuuya
    Sure.
[12:59] Kuuya
    Huh?
[13:09] Kuuya
    Are you all right, Sensei?
[13:11] Kukuru
    I'll leave your bag here.
[13:13] Takeshita
    Thanks.
[13:15] Fuuka
    I brought towels.
[13:17] Kukuru
    Thanks.
[13:20] Fuuka
    Does the aquarium not have a car?
[13:22] Kuuya
    We do, but I don't have a license.
[13:25] Kuuya
    I'll go look for a taxi.
[13:31] Kukuru
    Excuse us. We need
    to use this area for a while.
[13:40] Takeshita
    Hello? It's Takeshita.
[13:43] Takeshita
    My water broke while I was out.
[13:46] Kukuru
    Kai, could you put out
    an emergency closing sign outside?
[13:49] Kukuru
    Give the leaving guests some
    postcards to take home.
[13:53] Kai
    All right.
[13:58] Kukuru
    Hang in there, Sensei.
[14:00] Takeshita
    I'm sorry. I didn't think
    it would come to this.
[14:05] Kukuru
    Sensei, remember what
    you told me a long time ago?
[14:09] Kukuru
    The aquarium is a place
    where we take care of life.
[14:14] (Flashback) Takeshita
    Always keep in mind that you're in charge
    of the precious lives of other beings.
[14:20] Takeshita
    Protect them with all you've got.
[14:25] Kukuru
    The aquarium takes care
    not just of the lives of fish,
[14:28] ---
    but of the guests and staff, too.
[14:32] Kukuru
    So we're going to protect you
    with all we've got.
[14:38] Takeshita
    A place where we take care of life...
[14:53] Kuuya
    All the taxis are out.
[14:55] Kuuya
    They won't be back for another hour.
[15:59] Kukuru
    Where's the car?
[16:08] Fuuka
    We have a car!
[16:11] Karin
    Hello.
[16:12] Takeshita
    Um...
[16:14] Kukuru
    We couldn't find a taxi.
[16:16] Kukuru
    So we asked a friend for help.
[16:17] Karin
    You could be a bit more appreciative.
[16:19] Karin
    Work is busy at the Tourism Association.
[16:23] Karin
    Where should I take you?
[16:25] Takeshita
    Have you heard of Uchima Maternity Home?
[16:28] Karin
    I have.
[16:29] Kukuru
    I'll come, too.
[16:31] Fuuka
    No, I'll accompany her.
[16:34] Fuuka
    You should stay here, Director.
[16:36] Kukuru
    But...
[16:37] Fuuka
    Give Choko-chan some attention.
[16:42] Kukuru
    Sorry.
[16:44] Kukuru
    Please go in my place.
[16:49] Kuuya
    That was stressful.
[16:51] Kai
    Seriously, that scared me.
[17:00] Fuuka
    Another closure?
[17:03] Karin
    They found an unexploded ordnance nearby.
[17:06] Karin
    Don't worry, though.
[17:12] Karin
    Now's my chance to show off
    my Tourism Association skills.
[17:14] Karin
    I'm driving around all the time.
[17:16] Karin
    A detour isn't going to slow me down.
[17:21] Fuuka
    Please drive as slowly as you can,
    so it doesn't shake.
[17:24] Fuuka
    But also, hurry!
[17:26] Karin
    That's a tall order.
[17:40] Kai
    Is something wrong?
[17:41] Kukuru
    I just noticed Choko hasn't
    been eating as much lately.
[17:45] Kukuru
    Choko's getting old,
    so it's to be expected, but...
[17:49] Kai
    You've got so much to worry about.
[17:52] Kukuru
    That's the nature of the job.
[17:54] Kukuru
    Get well soon.
[18:00] Kukuru
    I hope the doctor's okay.
[18:04] Fuuka
    Would you like some water?
[18:06] Takeshita
    No, thanks.
[18:08] Takeshita
    Sorry, my husband should be coming soon.
[18:17] Takeshita
    I had a strange dream
    at the aquarium earlier.
[18:23] Takeshita
    It was as if I were in the water.
[18:25] Takeshita
    The fish came right up to me.
[18:29] Takeshita
    And I met my baby.
[18:33] Takeshita
    He said, "I get to meet you soon, Mom."
[18:40] Takeshita
    I have to be strong.
[18:45] A
    Shall we move you now?
[18:52] Fuuka
    Do what's right,
    and everything will work out.
[18:56] Gramps
    Why didn't you contact me?
[18:58] Gramps
    You could have talked to me.
[19:03] Gramps
    You wouldn't have had
    to trouble the doctor.
[19:07] Kukuru
    But...
[19:07] Gramps
    No "buts."
[19:09] Gramps
    You can't try to do everything yourself
    just because you're the director.
[19:14] Kukuru
    I'm sorry.
[19:20] Kukuru
    Hello?!
[19:23] Kukuru
    Yeah.
[19:24] Kukuru
    Yeah.
[19:25] Kukuru
    Yeah.
[19:27] Kukuru
    She just gave birth.
[19:29] Kukuru
    Child and mother are doing well.
[19:32] Gramps
    That's great!
[19:33] Grandma
    I was so worried.
[19:43] Kukuru
    So cute!
[19:45] Fuuka
    Is he asleep?
[19:47] Takeshita
    He can't open his eyes yet.
[19:49] Kukuru
    I see.
[19:51] Kukuru
    Sensei, I'm really sorry.
[19:54] Kukuru
    Gramps scolded me about it, too.
[19:57] Takeshita
    No, it's all right.
[20:00] Takeshita
    Thanks to you and Fuuka-chan,
    I'll never forget this birth.
[20:13] Kukuru
    So cute.
[20:15] Fuuka
    Mothers are amazing, huh?
[20:19] Takeshita
    Yeah...
[20:20] Takeshita
    You might be right.
[20:23] Takeshita
    But maybe it was this baby who
    did the best work by being born healthy.
[20:28] Takeshita
    Thank you.
SIGN    So when ever are you coming home?
SIGN    Hey! Answer me!
SIGN    Sorry for worrying you, Mom.
SIGN    I'm in the care of a place called Gama Gama Aquarium for the summer.
[20:50] Kukuru
    Sensei, hey...
[20:52] Takeshita
    Yes?
[20:53] Kukuru
    Where do you get a maternity handbook?
[20:57] Takeshita
    Are you pregnant?
[20:58] Kukuru
    O-Of course not!
[21:02] Takeshita
    You can get one from the municipality
    when you find out that you're pregnant.
[21:07] Kukuru
    Huh.
SIGN    Maternity Handbook
SIGN    Misakino Kukuru
[21:23] Kukuru
    Isn't that...
[21:26] Fuuka
    Oh, er...
[21:29] Fuuka
    I guess I'm just helping with sales.
[21:31] Fuuka
    Actually, I just really like it.
[21:34] Kukuru
    Someday, I want to have the courage
    to challenge myself to something new.
[21:40] Kukuru
    I made those with that in mind.
[21:44] Kukuru
    I'm glad you like it, Fuuka!
[21:48] Kukuru
    We gotta get back to Gama Gama.
[21:49] Kukuru
    Lunch break's going to be over!
[21:55] Kukuru
    Hey...
[21:56] Fuuka
    Yeah?
[21:58] Kukuru
    Having courage isn't the same
    as being reckless, right?
[22:02] Fuuka
    Eh?
