[00:00] Chiyu
    I'm here from Aquarium Tingarla for training.
[00:03] Chiyu
    My name is Haebaru Chiyu.
[00:05] Chiyu
    I'll be in your care.
[00:08] Fuuka
    Aquarium Tingarla?
[00:10] Umi
    That's the new aquarium that's opening
    next year in the city center.
[00:16] Gramps
    Right.
[00:18] Gramps
    Would you like to join someone
    in our daily duties?
[00:26] Gramps
    How about Kukuru?
[00:30] Gramps
    You're the acting director, after all.
[00:32] Chiyu
    I look forward to your instruction.

[02:06] Kai
    Why is a rival bringing someone
    to Gama Gama to study?
[02:10] Kuuya
    They aren't really rivals.
[02:12] Kuuya
    Aquariums tend to help each other out.
[02:15] Umi
    I hear the staff at Tingarla all go
    to different aquariums to study.
[02:21] Umi
    Isn't that great?
[02:22] Umi
    There's something exciting
    about a new aquarium.
[02:25] Kuuya
    What a pain in the ass.
[02:27] Kai
    I hope Kukuru's going to be all right.
[02:36] Kukuru
    I see.
[02:37] Kukuru
    A new aquarium, huh?
[02:42] Chiyu
    Misakino-san, may I participate?
[02:46] Chiyu
    You just need these ones
    chopped up small, right?
[02:57] Chiyu
    Will that do?
[03:00] Kukuru
    Yes.
[03:01] Chiyu
    These are going to the animals
    in the main tank, right?
[03:03] Kukuru
    Y-Yeah.
[03:05] Kukuru
    Since there are all kinds of animals there,
    we chop them in different sizes
[03:08] ---
    so it's easier to eat.
[03:09] Kukuru
    So that the smaller fish can eat it, too.
[03:12] Chiyu
    You have different kinds, too, huh?
[03:14] Kukuru
    Yeah.
[03:15] Kukuru
    We have different kinds.
[03:16] Kukuru
    Do you know what we're
    feeding them today?
[03:20] Kukuru
    I don't know how great
    the new aquarium is,
[03:23] ---
    but if you're going to work here,
    this is common sense.
[03:26] Chiyu
    Brit,
[03:28] Chiyu
    opossum shrimp, blue-sprat, squid, mackerel.
[03:33] Chiyu
    Is that right?
[03:35] Kukuru
    H-Hey, as long as you know.
[03:39] Chiyu
    I was quite sure I knew,
    but it's good to learn on-site again.
[03:44] Chiyu
    Thank you!
[03:49] Kukuru
    You can get to the back
    of the main tank through here.
[03:52] ---
    Right!
[03:55] Chiyu
    It's a Cinderella sea slug!
[03:56] Chiyu
    It's so cute.
[03:58] Kukuru
    You recognize it?
[04:00] Chiyu
    Yes!
[04:01] Chiyu
    With its colorful pinks, it's like a flower
    blooming on the bottom of the sea.
[04:05] Chiyu
    I hear they're difficult to raise, though.
[04:08] Kukuru
    They are!
[04:10] Kukuru
    We finally figured out how to raise them,
    after a lot of trouble!
[04:15] Kukuru
    We'll take a short break
    after we're done with feeding.
[04:18] Chiyu
    Got it.
SIGN    Customers are ahead.
SIGN    Don't forget to smile!
[04:21] Kukuru
    Why do I have to be so good
    to the enemy?
[04:27] Kukuru
    Gramps, you idiot!
[04:31] A
    Everyone over here is nice.
[04:33] A
    And training is really fun.
[04:35] Chiyu
    Yeah? Good for you.
[04:37] A
    How about you?
[04:39] Chiyu
    I don't know yet.
[04:41] A
    Didn't they say there's
    a legendary aquarium keeper there?
[04:45] Chiyu
    Oh.
[04:46] Chiyu
    It's true, but...
[04:51] (Flashback) B
    I'm sending you to Gama Gama.
[04:54] (Flashback) B
    You said you preferred
    somewhere nearby, right?
[04:58] (Flashback) Chiyu
    But Gama Gama is the one
    that's closing soon, isn't it?
[05:02] (Flashback) Chiyu
    It seems to me
    I'd be learning from failure.
[05:05] (Flashback) B
    No, no.
[05:06] (Flashback) B
    You're new, so you may not know,
[05:09] (Flashback) ---
    but the director at Gama Gama's been called
    the "legendary aquarium keeper."
[05:14] (Flashback) Chiyu
    Legendary?
[05:15] (Flashback) B
    Yeah.
[05:16] (Flashback) B
    He's been to aquariums all over.
[05:21] (Flashback) B
    He's been able to present all kinds
    of animals that are difficult to raise.
[05:24] (Flashback) B
    And he's saved failing aquariums
    with unique events.
[05:27] (Flashback) B
    He has a long résumé of successes.
[05:29] (Flashback) Chiyu
    Huh.
[05:30] (Flashback) B
    I'm sure you'll learn a lot
    by watching him work.
[05:36] (Flashback) Chiyu
    All right.
[05:38] (Flashback) Chiyu
    I'll go see for myself
    whether he's really that amazing.
[05:43] Chiyu
    I thought I'd get to learn from
    the legendary aquarium keeper,
[05:47] ---
    but the equipment is falling apart,
    and things are just really meh.
[05:51] A
    Guess you'll have to live with it
    until training's over, then.
[05:54] A
    Hang in there.
[05:56] Chiyu
    Thanks.
[05:57] Chiyu
    See you.
[06:04] Fuuka
    How are the feet?
[06:07] Kukuru
    Yeah, I think they're all good.
[06:10] Kukuru
    Let's get back to walking, then.
[06:13] Fuuka
    Good for you, Choko-san!
[06:15] Fuuka
    We're off break!
[06:18] Kukuru
    We're about to walk the penguins.
[06:21] Kukuru
    There isn't anything for you to do,
    so you can just follow us.
[06:26] Chiyu
    I can at least guide the guests, though.
[06:29] Chiyu
    I don't think there are
    that many guests here, anyway.
[06:33] Fuuka
    We wouldn't want for anything
    to go wrong, though.
[06:36] Kukuru
    We don't get many guests here?
[06:38] Kukuru
    Was that an insult?
[06:38] Fuuka
    Kukuru!
[06:44] Kukuru
    You can come see the penguins
    close up, Haebaru-san.
[06:47] Chiyu
    Right.
[06:48] Chiyu
    Thank you!
[06:50] Chiyu
    I will.
[06:54] Fuuka
    Are you sure?
[06:55] Fuuka
    What if the penguins attack her as they
    did me, and she falls into the tank?
[06:59] Kukuru
    That'll be a good teaching moment.
[07:00] Fuuka
    Kukuru!
[07:01] Chiyu
    There, there.
[07:03] Chiyu
    Good kids.
[07:04] Fuuka
    Haebaru-san, they're going to peck
    at you if you try to touch them!
[07:08] Fuuka
    You shouldn't agitate them!
[07:09] Chiyu
    Oh, really?
[07:11] Chiyu
    Maybe I should stand back a little.
[07:16] Chiyu
    They peck at people
    who they aren't used to, huh?
[07:18] Chiyu
    That sounds just like Misakino-san.
[07:22] Fuuka
    Haebaru-san!
[07:23] Chiyu
    Oh, I'm sorry.
[07:25] Chiyu
    You said not to agitate them.
[07:28] Chiyu
    I'll be careful going forward.
[07:31] Fuuka
    I'm sure she didn't mean anything by it.
[07:33] Kukuru
    She obviously did!
[07:38] Fuuka
    Time to walk the penguins!
[07:41] Fuuka
    These penguins are known as Cape penguins.
[07:45] Fuuka
    You can recognize them by
    the black line under their beaks,
[07:48] ---
    and the dots on their bellies.
[07:51] Fuuka
    The name Cape penguin comes
    from the Cape area of South Africa.
[07:56] Fuuka
    They're the only species
    of penguin in Africa.
[07:59] Fuuka
    They're known to bite
    when they're threatened,
[08:03] ---
    but all the kids at Gama Gama
    walk happily together!
[08:11] Fuuka
    All the kids walk happily together!
[08:19] Umi
    I'm getting bad vibes.
[08:21] Kai
    Kukuru's clearly in a bad mood.
[08:26] Kai
    What are you doing?
[08:28] Kuuya
    The air's so bad
    that I'm suffocating.
[08:31] Umi
    What are you, a fish?
SIGN    Welcome to Gama Gama Aquarium
[08:36] Kukuru
    Man, I'm starving!
[08:40] Fuuka
    Good work today.
SIGN    Sunday, August 22nd
SIGN    Notification Center Shiroi Ruka
[08:45] Kukuru
    Fuuka, come on, hurry up!
[08:48] Kukuru
    Let's go eat.
[08:50] Kukuru
    I'm so hungry.
SIGN    Cinderella, the Spy
[08:55] Gramps
    Why can't you get along with her?
[08:58] Kukuru
    How could I?
[09:00] Gramps
    Why not?
[09:01] Kukuru
    I don't want the new aquarium
    to take our guests.
[09:05] Gramps
    It doesn't matter.
[09:07] Gramps
    If more people get to see the sea creatures
    and get to love them just a little,
[09:11] ---
    that's all that matters, right?
[09:13] Kukuru
    You might be okay with that,
    but it has to be Gama Gama for me.
[09:18] Grams
    It's true, isn't it?
[09:20] Kukuru
    Grams?
[09:22] Grams
    You don't know anything about
    other aquariums, do you, Kukuru?
[09:29] Grams
    It's important to have even a little
    compassion for what's unfamiliar to you.
[09:35] Grams
    You both love aquariums.
[09:38] Grams
    It'll be more fun if you can get along.
[09:44] Kukuru
    I don't know anymore.
[09:48] Fuuka
    Yeah.
[09:52] Kukuru
    Am I trying to protect Gama Gama?
[09:55] Kukuru
    Or am I just clinging to my memories?
[10:02] Fuuka
    I think it's okay either way.
[10:04] Fuuka
    You care about Gama Gama,
    and I support that.
[10:10] Kukuru
    Thanks.
[10:12] Fuuka
    But I think your attitude today wasn't great.
[10:16] Fuuka
    I wish you would have been more steady,
    as the acting director.
[10:22] Kukuru
    I'll be more careful.
[10:25] Kukuru
    I'd be tarnishing Gama
    Gama's reputation if I act up.
[10:30] Fuuka
    Exactly!
[10:31] Fuuka
    Be strong!
[10:36] Kukuru
    Hey...
[10:39] Kukuru
    Can I ask you a weird question?
[10:42] Fuuka
    What?
[10:45] Kukuru
    Sometimes, I wish I had
    an older sister like you.
[10:52] Fuuka
    We're the same age, though.
[10:56] Kukuru
    There are some things that my parents
    cherished in the family altar drawer.
[11:04] Kukuru
    Apparently, you get one maternity
    handbook for every child you have.
[11:10] Kukuru
    So one's for me,
    and I don't know about the other.
[11:15] Fuuka
    What does Grams say?
[11:17] Kukuru
    I can't ask her.
[11:19] Kukuru
    I'm kind of scared.
[11:23] Kukuru
    But I keep imagining...
[11:25] Kukuru
    Maybe I have siblings
    that I've never met.
[11:30] Kukuru
    And for some reason,
    we've had to live apart.
[11:35] Kukuru
    I bet it'd make me really happy
    if I suddenly had an older sister.
[11:42] Fuuka
    You'd be happy?
[11:43] Kukuru
    I would be.
[11:44] Kukuru
    I'd have more family.
[11:50] Kukuru
    That's my weird talk.
[11:52] Fuuka
    Let's hold hands in bed tonight.
[11:54] Kukuru
    It's okay. Don't worry about me!
[11:56] Fuuka
    I want to!
[11:58] Kukuru
    Jeez, that's embarrassing.
[12:00] Fuuka
    You're so mean!
[12:01] Kukuru
    I'm kidding.
[12:02] Kukuru
    Sorry.
[12:03] Fuuka
    I don't care about you anymore.
[12:36] Udon
    Hello!
[12:37] Udon
    Kamee's special lunch boxes are here.
[12:41] Udon
    Today on the menu is salt-grilled mackerel.
[12:47] Udon
    Is that her?
[12:48] Fuuka
    Yeah.
[12:49] Fuuka
    She's here for training, from Tingarla.
[12:52] Udon
    I think I'll go say "hi."
[12:53] Chiyu
    Director, may I have a word?
[12:56] Gramps
    Sure, what is it?
[12:58] Chiyu
    I'd like for you to tutor me
    from the afternoon, if it's possible.
[13:03] Chiyu
    My boss told me, too.
[13:05] Chiyu
    To go see the work
    of the legendary aquarium keeper.
[13:09] Udon
    Legendary aquarium keeper?
[13:10] Umi
    Yeah, that's what they used
    to call the director.
[13:14] Gramps
    What do you think, Kukuru?
[13:16] Kukuru
    I don't mind either way.
[13:19] Gramps
    All right.
[13:20] Gramps
    Let's switch, then.
[13:22] Chiyu
    Thank you!
[13:24] Udon
    Hello!
[13:25] Udon
    I came to deliver lunch.
[13:27] Udon
    I'm Teruya Tsukimi, from Kamee Diner.
[13:30] Udon
    Would you like to order something
    for tomorrow, too, miss?
[13:34] Chiyu
    No, thanks.
[13:39] Udon
    She's so blunt.
[13:47] Gramps
    From noon today, huh?
[13:49] Chiyu
    Yes.
[13:50] Gramps
    There isn't really anything
    to do in particular.
[13:55] Chiyu
    He just looks like some
    old retired guy killing time.
[14:01] Chiyu
    But he's the legendary aquarium keeper.
[14:03] Chiyu
    He must be casually checking
    the fish along the way.
[14:09] Gramps
    Hey.
[14:10] Chiyu
    The legend has noticed something!
[14:12] Gramps
    Oh, you finally got a rare card.
[14:16] A
    Yup.
[14:17] Gramps
    That's amazing.
[14:19] Gramps
    Show me again next time.
[14:21] A
    Okay!
[14:24] Chiyu
    Why are those kids playing
    card games at an aquarium?
[14:28] Gramps
    The kids with annual passes
    come here all the time.
[14:33] Gramps
    They've gotten bored already.
[14:41] Chiyu
    You're guests! Why are you...
[14:43] A
    I'm sorry. I made a bit of a mess,
    so we're borrowing the cleaning equipment.
[14:49] Chiyu
    I'm sorry. We shouldn't
    be making guests clean.
[14:52] A
    It's all right.
[14:54] B
    We've got plenty of time, anyway.
[14:56] Gramps
    I'm sorry.
[14:58] Gramps
    Thanks for everything.
[15:00] A
    Gramps really likes
    to work people to the bone.
[15:07] C
    So we're getting married.
[15:09] D
    We came home for Obon,
    so we thought you'd let you know.
[15:13] Gramps
    Good for you.
[15:15] Gramps
    Are you keeping busy?
[15:17] E
    All the time, lately.
[15:19] F
    We're trucking dirt around
    all day, every day.
[15:22] ---
    Is that so?
[15:23] Chiyu
    The guests here aren't
    even looking at the fish.
[15:28] Chiyu
    I've had enough.
[15:30] Chiyu
    I don't think there's anything more
    to learn from there.
[15:33] A
    What?
[15:34] Chiyu
    It was a mistake to come
    to an aquarium that's about to close.
[15:38] Chiyu
    May I go train somewhere else?
[15:41] A
    Listen...
[15:42] Chiyu
    I got taught by a high-schooler!
[15:45] Chiyu
    You don't think that's too half-assed?
[15:47] A
    That's a bit much, but...
[15:49] Chiyu
    I want to spend the rest of my time
    training properly at a different aquarium.
[15:54] Chiyu
    Please!
[15:58] A
    Fine.
[15:59] A
    I'll talk to another aquarium.
[16:02] A
    I'll apologize to the director
    of Gama Gama for you.
[16:07] Chiyu
    Please and thank you.
[16:15] Chiyu
    You have no idea how hard
    it was to get this far.
[16:19] A
    What we like about Gama Gama?
[16:21] Kukuru
    Yeah.
[16:22] Kukuru
    Something about it that makes it even more
    awesome than a brand-new, fancy aquarium.
[16:26] A
    Is there anything?
[16:27] B
    The cheap entry fee!
[16:31] A
    Something weird happened, though.
[16:34] A
    That was really cool!
[16:36] Kukuru
    What happened?
[16:38] A
    I saw the dog I used to have.
[16:40] A
    Here.
[16:45] A
    That was really nostalgic!
[16:47] B
    Are you sure?
[16:48] Kukuru
    Really?
[16:49] A
    I called his name,
    and he was wagging his tail.
[17:02] Chiyu
    I'm done training today.
[17:06] Kukuru
    Already?
[17:07] Chiyu
    Yes.
[17:08] Chiyu
    I don't think I was a good fit here.
[17:12] Kukuru
    What do you mean by "not a good fit"?
[17:14] Chiyu
    I was trained by a high schooler,
    people were chatting all day on site...
[17:19] Chiyu
    It felt like a waste of time.
[17:23] Kukuru
    The director is trying
    to teach you something deeper.
[17:27] Kukuru
    Not that a shallow-minded person
    like you would understand,
[17:30] ---
    coming to conclusions after just two days.
[17:38] Chiyu
    You may be having fun play-working,
    but I'm desperate.
[17:43] Kukuru
    "Play"?
[17:44] Chiyu
    That's right.
[17:45] Chiyu
    Thousands of people look
    for employment every year,
[17:47] ---
    after graduating from
    technical schools and colleges.
[17:49] Chiyu
    Meanwhile, there are only about
    a hundred aquariums around Japan.
[17:53] Chiyu
    Do you know how few of them are hiring?
[17:56] Chiyu
    I made it through a narrow
    window to finally get here.
[18:00] Chiyu
    I don't want to let go of the job
    that I earned for myself.
[18:04] Chiyu
    So I want proper training. That's all.
[18:08] Chiyu
    You're still in high school
    and helping out the family business, correct?
[18:13] Chiyu
    You don't know what it's like
    to have to make money.
[18:16] Chiyu
    You're underestimating things.
[18:22] Chiyu
    It wasn't for very long,
    but thank you for your time.
[18:26] Chiyu
    Excuse me.
[18:38] Kai
    Hey.
[18:39] Kai
    I'm done with work early today.
    I'll see you.
[18:47] Kukuru
    Kai!
[18:48] Kukuru
    Give me a hand!
[18:50] Kai
    Fine, fine.
[18:52] Kukuru
    I hate her!
[18:53] Kukuru
    Never come back, you evil spirit!
[18:55] Kukuru
    Damn it!
[18:56] Kukuru
    I can't stand it!
[18:58] Kai
    You're so immature.
[19:00] Kukuru
    That's what she said, too!
[19:05] Kai
    You underestimate me.
[19:05] Kai
    Small fish in a big pond.
[19:10] Kukuru
    And you're swimming with sharks.
[19:13] Kai
    Ow!
[19:14] Kai
    This better be part of my pay.
[19:18] A
    Challenge!
[19:18] B
    Ack.
[19:19] B
    Hang on.
[19:20] A
    Nope.
[19:22] Fuuka
    Are you two not going
    to look at the fish?
[19:25] B
    No, we aren't.
[19:27] A
    We already know them all!
[19:29] A
