I'm happy! I'm happy!
Tomorrow is going to be a fun Sunday!
And I have free tickets to Aqualand!
All right! I'm going to ask Haneoka for a date! Hooray!
I'm so happy...!
Haneoka!
Yes?
They're cute!
What's up, Sawatari?
What should I do?
There are two beautiful girls.
And they're stunning in their summer school uniforms.
One shines like gold in the summer sun...
She's like a sunflower.
The other sits quietly in the heart of the forest...
She is like a white lily...
Oh, do I have to choose one?
Am I going to break up their friendship?
No, I can't!
Lord, please forgive my sins.
And please show this lost sheep the right way.
Five free tickets?
Thank you for getting enough tickets to include me, Saruwatari.
That's right! I have five tickets. So all three of can them can go...
Asuka Jr. What do you have?!
Free tickets to Aqualand.
- Here. - Wow! Thank you!
I feel bad taking these from you, Sawatari.
What?
- What are you talking about?! - Don't hang on me!
Wow! A free ticket to Aqualand!
If you're going, I'm going, too!
Hey! Hold on for just a minute!
First of all, there are only five free tickets!
Wow, perfect! Did you have something to say?
No... Nothing.
"WHITE DOLPHIN" - RETURN TO THE SEA!
As usual, there's a big Sunday crowd!
Everyone! This way!
They said the aquarium is on the third floor...
...and we need to use an elevator!
All right!
I wonder if we could get on the next one.
I guess we can get on somehow.
Here it comes!
We're going up.
Oh, wait for me!
We just made it!
Oh, no! How embarrassing!
Wait, Meimi!
We can easily squeeze in one more!
What was that?! Did I see...
What am I supposed to do?
My hand...!
Shoot! I didn't let go of her hand.
Hey! You two! You're too close to each other!
Break it up! Break it up!
Don't be ridiculous! It's just the situation!
Good grief!
Hurry up...!
Get there!
Come on, third floor!
Second floor.
Going up.
No! Wait!
It's gone...
Just the two of us...
What?! We lost Haneoka!
Asuka, too.
Oh, no! I thought we were going to have an enjoyable day together!
She must be alone and crying right now!
Asuka is with her.
Is this by any chance a kidnapping...?
I told you, Asuka is with her!
Haneoka! I, Manato Sawatari, am on my way to save you!
You're not listening...!
Don't worry!
If we go slowly now, they'll catch up with us.
Right?
Yes! You're absolutely right!
He sure is quick at switching his attention...
This is a great opportunity. I want them to be alone.
I call this plan...
Seira's Love Love Strategy!
Isn't it great?!
Well, Mimori?
Let's go! Let's go!
You're right. Let's go.
Hey! Wait!
Don't leave me alone! Hey!
I guess they already went in.
It's because I forced myself into the crowded elevator...
So you wanted to be separated and all alone?
That's not what I meant!
Why do we always end up like this?
Sawatari, what do you think of fish?
What?
I love fish!
Really? I'm glad to hear that!
- Sawatari. - Yes?
Wouldn't you like to breathe underwater?
Because it looks like it feels good, doesn't it?
She's so cute!
All right!
I, Sawatari, for you, Mimori...
...will master breathing underwater or anything!
You name it and I'll do it!
Wow, wonderful! I can't wait!
Why do things turn out this way...?
Oh, no...!
- Well... - What?
I spoke with St. Tail up close the other day.
Really?
It's not a good idea to bring up that incident!
I have to change the subject.
Why do you chase her so passionately?
She's my dream girl...
What?!
Oh, no... I mean...
I want to see if she's my dream girl...
I'm curious about what she's normally like...
And many other things...
I'm glad... I'm glad it is dark... But...
But I continue to hide my identity.
It's the same as lying to Asuka Jr.
Resemble...
I can tell because it was dark then, too.
It's not her physical shape, it's more her aura...
She resembles Meimi.
Asuka!
Hey! Asuka!
What are you daydreaming about? You're late!
Of course!
If we don't watch the fish carefully, it would seem rude to them.
There's a creepy one! Let's go!
- Hey! Don't pull! - Hurry up! Hurry up!
Look, it's a white dolphin!
He looks like he's having a conversation with the dolphin.
Seira...
Yeah...
Mana...
This is the Director's Office.
Director. That kid is glued to the dolphin's glass again.
Again!
This is enough! Kick him out!
What an annoying brat...!
Then that white dolphin is your friend?
Her name is Mana. Do you know about Mana, Sister?
Yes, I do. I also saw you at the aquarium the other day.
The director of the aquarium said...
...that Mana was sick and he could heal her.
He lied to me and took Mana from the sea.
Mana wasn't sick...
He never had any intention of returning Mana.
It's because Mana is a rare breed called a Pearl Dolphin.
I've asked him many times to return Mana, but...
He refused, didn't he?
Did you talk to the police?
It's no use, Sister.
Mana isn't my pet. She's my friend.
I'm not her owner so I can't go to the police.
The director tells me...
...to show some evidence that Mana and I are friends.
But it's impossible because Mana can't speak.
Cheer up, Hiromi.
I'm sure God will help you.
That's terrible!
Wait for me, Hiromi!
The mysterious thief St. Tail will get back Mana.
Hiromi says Mana can do a trick only when Hiromi calls her.
Well, then... If he shows it to the owner...
...he can prove they're friends.
But Mana is...
...so shocked from being taken away from the sea...
...that she has become very depressed.
And she has been in that tank for a while.
So it is impossible for her to do the trick...
I see...
I heard...
...Asuka had a good time on Sunday, right, Yasuhiro?
That's what I heard, Chiba.
I heard he had girls with him, Yasuhiro.
I envy him, Chiba.
Boy! How pesky can you two be?
Sawatari had free tickets. What was I supposed to do?
If you have a problem, talk to Sawatari.
That's not the point. Why didn't you at least tell us?
You're rude to us.
This is...!
"Tonight I'm going to Aqualand...
...to get the 'Pearl Dolphin.'"
It's St. Tail's warning note!
What's the Pearl Dolphin?
I don't know.
It's the white dolphin at Aqualand.
We've never been to Aqualand.
It must be a beautiful dolphin. Right, Asuka?
You two are really getting on my nerves...
I'm home!
- Hi, Meimi. - Welcome home.
What's this?
What did you do, Dad?
Isn't it romantic?
It's the illusion I'm going to use in the next magic show.
It's like we're really in the forest.
Dad, can you change it to the sea next?
Of course. Here!
Wow! It brings back memories of our dates.
Yeah. We went to the sea often, didn't we?
Oh, Lord, forgive me, for I use no gimmick or trick.
One!
Two!
Three!
Meimi...
I think Hiromi will probably be at the aquarium.
Be careful.
All right.
May the blessings of God be with us.
This is our Pearl Dolphin.
Please protect her from the mysterious thief.
- Yes! - Put me down!
Put me down! Return Mana! You liar!
That kid again.
Excuse me...
You're still here?! It's way past closing time!
Director.
Like I've told you before...
...there's no proof that the dolphin is your friend.
Mana will flip in the air at my command. I'm not lying!
I don't believe it. She hasn't been trained.
If you're too persistent, I'll report you to the police.
It's true! Believe me!
Then have her do the trick.
If she does the trick, I'll let her go back to the sea.
Really? Will you really?
Really.
It's a promise between two men.
But I don't think the dolphin can do a flip from the tank.
That's not fair!
Kick him out!
- Yes! - Asuka Jr.!
Bad news! St. Tail showed up on the surveillance camera.
What?!
St. Tail...
Good evening, everyone.
The St. Tail dolphin show...
...will be starting at the dolphin's stage shortly.
Tonight's special guest is the Pearl Dolphin, Mana.
What?!
Move!
How could this be...?!
How did she open...
...the gate between the tank and the stage?
- Let's go! - Yes!
Here we are. Get off.
Hey, you brat!
Mana...
Return Mana! You liar!
Mana will flip in the air at my command. I'm not lying!
Tonight's special guest is the Pearl Dolphin, Mana.
Let's go, Hiromi!
Mana is at the dolphin stage.
Hurry up!
Mana looks depressed.
St. Tail!
Mana!
Hiromi!
Mana!
Mana! Jump!
Asuka Jr.!
What's going on, Asuka Jr.?
Get St. Tail now! Otherwise...!
Otherwise... what?
The dolphin will do a flip?
I won't ask you again!
Mana!
Jump!
Jump, Mana! Mana!
If you don't jump, you can't go back to the sea.
Where's the flip?
If she doesn't jump, I can't return her to the sea.
It's your fault!
Because you lied and put her in the tank...
...now she's really sick.
That's enough, brat!
Let go of me!
Mana!
Wait!
I'll make you keep the promise with Hiromi!
What?!
It's...
...Show...
...Time!
Mana!
Open your eyes.
You're in the sea.
Mana...
Remember...
...the fun time you spent...
...with Hiromi!
Remember the sea!
Hiromi! Now!
Mana! Jump!
Mana!
Now you can go back!
You can go back to the sea, Mana.
I don't know about that!
I don't know anything about the promise!
Take the dolphin back to the tank immediately!
No, Director.
You definitely promised!
I am a witness.
It's not a pretty picture you're painting.
Shoot...!
I have no choice.
Asuka Jr.! St. Tail is...!
Wait! St. Tail!
Take care of the rest, Asuka Jr.!
I'm telling you to wait!
I have to catch you no matter what!
What? Why?
Because I'm your dream girl...?
If you say it just one more time...
I...
You resemble...
You...
...resemble the girl I can't stop thinking about!
