I see, you are from Saitama.
My, my. Welcome from afar.
I finally managed to take leave...
My daughter, San, is still ignorant since she has never been away from Seto Inland before.
Please take good care of her.
T-There's no need to be formal.
A monster?
Erm... It seems to be some animal that sounds like your husband...
Please ignore it.
My husband has always been short-tempered.
E-Erm... Is it really alright... for junior high school students to be engaged?
Don't worry.
The mermaids of Seto Inland...
won't go back on their word!
W-We're humbled!
Humbled!
I won't accept it!
I won't hand San over to that rascal!
The rise and fall of the waves flowing within Seto.
Nagasumi, the youngster who was saved, always understood...
...that he had to give up on reason and fulfil his duties.
Please try to laugh.
It is the start of an innocent love.

Is it my imagination? A premonition of love...

Episode 2
Legend of the Ring
It seems like it has turned into something major...
Saying those things...
What should I do...?
Nagasumi, what's wrong?
Ah, Grandmother.
What is it? Is it about your bride?
W-Well, it's not really about my bride...
Nagasumi, don't you like San-chan?
T-That's not it...
Note: Bon Odori (盆踊り) is an event held during Obon (お盆), a Buddhist festival held on the 13th of the 7th or 8th month of the lunar calendar to commemorate the dead.
There's a Bon Odori tonight.
By now, a lot of stores should be set up.
It's great for a date.
Date?
You want to get to know San-chan better, right?
He invited me out on the night of the festival as well.
I wonder how well that'll work in such an era...
Since both of you have yet to get to know each other,
it'd be best for you to have a nice chat to learn more.
Here.
War funds.
You can't do anything without money.
G-Grandmother...
It's fine. Go and have fun.
O-Okay! I'll try to call her now.
Who would have thought that Nagasumi would marry a mermaid...
who also turns out to be the daughter of a Yakuza?
Yakuza...
Daughter of a Yakuza...
But that man with sunglasses sure was cool...
Mum, let's talk about this again...
San-chan!
Ah!
Nagasumi-san!
San-chan, sorry to keep you waiting.
Ah...
A yukata... It suits you.
Thank you, Nagasumi-san.
Shinto Shrine
Oh, come to think of it, was I late?
No, it's because I came here early.
R-Really?
What's up with this? I'm feeling happy, yet embarrassed...
Even though I was forced into this situation, now that I think about it,
I'm mega lucky!
Erm, Nagasumi-san.
Y-Yes?!
When you talk about visiting stores...
you have to go to the cotton candy store!
Cotton Candy
Please give me two.
Nagasumi-san, I'll pay for it...
Ah, San-chan.
Eh?
I got the money.
No, I'll pay for myself.
We barely know each other, so I feel bad for letting a guy pay for me.
Girls like that aren't cute, right?
N-No such thing!
Get a hold of yourself... She's really cute...
Hey, come take a look, Nagasumi-san!
The cotton candy from this festival is always this big!
Wow, really?
It's sure worth eating...
Erm... Mister, my cotton candy is...
You got a problem with it, brat?
Nope...
Candy Apples
Specially Made
Look, look, Nagasumi-san!
Candy apple!
It's extremely big too!
Delicious.
Bro, sorry to keep you waiting.
Ah, thanks.
E-Erm... Mister, my candy apple is...
You got a problem with it, brat?
Nope...
Chocolate Bananas
Nagasumi-san! Nagasumi-san!
Chocolate banana!
Oh! Great!
Delicious!
Here it is! Sir, this is yours.
Ah, thanks.
Oh well, no matter what I eat, it's worth it as long as I'm eating together with her.
Handgun?
This isn't a chocolate banana!
This has gone too far, damn it!
Hey you, I nearly fired a bullet...
You got a problem with it, brat?
Nope...
You better not show your back to me.
T-This is weird. These stores are definitely weird!
Nagasumi-san, I'm sorry. I'm just constantly eating.
Most of the stores here are set up by our clan to make money.
I want to visit as many stores owned by people I know as possible.
S-So that's why!
This area is under the Seto Clan!
In other words, this area is full of San-chan's father's henchmen!
O-Oh... I see.
This is bad. If I stay here any longer, my life will be in danger...
T-That was San-chan's father.
He looked weird and was making strange noises, like he was trying to intimidate me!
It's fine if he just wanted to scare me, but that person would seriously kill me!
This is bad... The moment I hold hands with San-chan...
He'll definitely finish me off!
Hey, Nagasumi-san.
Huh?
Can we... hold hands?
W-We... can be considered a couple after all.
I'm going to be killed! I'm going to be killed! I'm going to be killed!
Hey, San-chan.
Oh? Ah, Toshi-ojisan.
Here, I have a taiyaki for you.
Thank you.
Bro, I'll give you an extra-large taiyaki.
T-Thank you, Toshi-ojisan.
So there are people like this in the clan as well.
A cellphone?!
Taiyaki
H-Hello?
Your life... is mine.
Nagasumi-san, did something happen?
I-It's nothing.
That's right. I can't ruin the mood for San-chan, who's finally having fun at these stores.
They won't put San-chan in danger.
This is my own battle!
What's wrong, Nagasumi-san?
Eh?
You don't want to eat any more?
Erm...
Actually, I haven't eaten anything...
Is there anything you want to do?
I hope that I can give my family a call before I die...
That's right, Nagasumi-san, let's go and scoop goldfish!!
Oh, that's fine. Okay, okay.
The alternate way of reading Kingyo Sukui... (金魚すくい, scoop goldfish)
is Kingyo Sukuu! (金魚救う, save goldfish)
Save Goldfish
I have to save the goldfish!
It'd be a disgrace to the mermaids of Seto Inland if I can't even save one goldfish!
San-chan is always so spirited... It's amazing that she has been able to hide the fact that she's a mermaid this whole time...
Wait a minute! Could it be that the goldfish seller is one of her henchmen?!
Now that I think about it, that's most likely the case...
But, even if we keep going "mermaid" this and "mermaid" that, no one would normally believe it.
Well, I guess I should save the goldfish as well.
Ah, dear customer.
Dear customer, your goldfish is... this one!
For Sharks
Try and scoop me up!
That's not a goldfish!
Shark Fujishiro-san!
Dinner!
Don't eat me...!
Nagasumi-san!
C R I T I C A L
M O M E N T !!
Nagasumi-san!
Oh crap!
I thought I was going to die.
I failed?
Go to hell, you pervert!
I don't understand what the heck you're yapping about!
Nagasumi-san, my leg has...!
Ah, San-chan!
Why did your legs suddenly change back?
I can't maintain my human legs if I'm drenched in water.
It'll be bad if someone sees this.
My legs will change back once they are dry.
I understand.
I wonder if things are going well for the two of them.
Hmph, that rascal should already be reduced to sea trash.
You did a clean job, right, Masa?
Y-Yes, however, I have some concerns about this...
What are you saying?! This is for my adorable San!
Finish that rascal off!
Darling!
Shit!
You are not doing any unnecessary things, are you?
R-Ren, what are you saying? That can't be possible, right, Masa?
Y-Yeah, yeah.
How suspicious.
I'm the boss. I wouldn't do such petty things...
Damn, I can't really get it off.
It hurts. Please do it gently, Nagasumi-san.
Oh my, it's Nagasumi-kun and San.
Oh gosh, youngsters these days don't care about the location.
Their hormones are raging...
Brat, what are you doing?!
Eh?
Oh shit!
Rascal, I'm going to **** you!
Why?! Why?! Why?!
Father?
They're back to normal.
Boss, stop it!
Unforgivable! I'm going to slice him to pieces!
Masa-san?
San, Father will defend you!
It's a mistake.
He was just drying Mistress San's legs.
Must kill him! Must kill him! Must kill him...!
Please calm down!
The one... The one whom I gave my first kiss to.
Oh gosh, how cool...
Hey, what are you doing, Mum?!
Eh? Oh gosh...
I was worried whether things were going well for the two of you, so I came to take a look.
Liar! I beg you, please don't do anything selfish!
Mum, let's go back and have a talk...
Oh? Your father and mother are heading home already?
They have a lot to talk about, I guess.
Geez, you weren't forcing yourself on San?
Huh?
What are you doing? Get a hold of yourself.
What's wrong with the adults surrounding me?!
Damn it, I'm going to steal a bike and run away!
R-Ren, what are you saying?! That rascal was hugging San's legs tightly!
Father!
Father, that was your doing, right?
Apologize to Nagasumi-san!
S-San, what are you saying?
That guy was...
Apologize! I hate such an unmanly father!
Unmanly...! Hate...!
R-R-Rascal...
I-I'll spare you for today. Hmph!
Father!
Nagasumi-san, I hope you'll understand the boss's feelings.
He was just showing parental love.
Y-Yeah...
But it's too crappy to be killed because of parental love...
Now, Mistress San, it's time to call it a day.
No.
Eh?
San-chan?
It took Nagasumi-san a lot of effort to arrange today's date with me.
I still want to be with Nagasumi-san.
Mistress.
Let's go.
O-Okay...
Isn't that cute?
Mistress is somehow different from how she usually is.
You are still far, far from understanding how a woman feels.
Regrettably so. However, if we take Boss's feelings into consideration...
It's fine. That fellow needs to know when to let go of his daughter.
Yes.
So... want to eat octopus tentacles?
Huh?! Don't tell me that is from Nakajima?!
I wonder.
San-chan, it's dangerous to run.
It's not dangerous.
It's much more dangerous when Nagasumi-san is with Father and the others.
That is indeed true...
Does that mean...
that you don't want to go out with me again?
Eh? What?
It's nothing.
Huh?
San-chan, you and the rest are mermaids, yet you're living harmoniously with humans.
Yup. I participate in the Bon Odori, and I attend a junior high school in this town as well.
Hiding the fact that I'm a mermaid.
You didn't get exposed?
The principal is a mermaid too, so we are somehow able to conceal it.
We can always maintain human form as long as we don't get drenched in water.
I see. Come to think of it, other than rainy days, we don't usually get drenched in water...
S-She tripped on a bucket of water! Is San-chan a natural airhead?!
Hehe, I failed. I failed.
San-chan, if you are not careful...
Are you serious...?
Everyone, before we commence the Bon Odori,
since a large amount of dust will be produced during the event, we will wet the area first.
San-chan! Water! Water is coming!
I won't constantly make mistakes.
Water Fountain
As I was saying, don't stand and idle at such a place!
It hurts...
San-chan, are you alright...?
N-No!
I-I'm sorry, are you alright?
W-What happened?
We, mermaids, use our voices as weapons.
I was shocked, so I produced ultrasonic waves.
Eh? What? I can't hear anything.
Nagasumi-san was obviously trying to save me just now, yet I...
I don't really understand, but will you forgive me?
Begging for his life
I'm sorry. My friends often call me an airhead.
It's alright. No one discovered it after all.
Nagasumi-san, I was just constantly causing you trouble today.
Damn, I can't think of anything to say to comfort her...
I must find a way to cheer her up...
Oh?
Ah. Hey, San-chan.
Ah, what is it?
Are there any glass ornaments that you want?
Eh? But that's bad of me...
I want to get a present for you.
For what reason?
Must I have a reason to give you a present?
If that's the case...
Thank you, Nagasumi-san.
Isn't that the cheapest one there?
Is a ring okay?
I don't know.
Eh?
Even though I don't know, look,
the left ring finger is where the wedding ring is worn, right?
I wonder what everyone will think of me, a junior high school student, wearing one.
They will just think that it's a joke, right?
I wonder how San-chan feels about me...?
Do you know how to dance, Nagasumi-san?
T-This voice is...!
Masa-san?!
In the Midst of Creating Memories of Summer
Move your hands in, move your hands out.
In the Midst of Creating Memories of Summer
Chyon, chyon, chyon.
In the Midst of Creating Memories of Summer
That's good.
In the Midst of Creating Memories of Summer
Now, don't worry.
Ask me about anything you are unsure of.
Here it comes. Bro really is a "young man killer"!
I don't want to know what's going to happen next!
Nagasumi-san, do you think that Masa-san is more suitable than me to teach you how to dance?!
Huh? What am I doing?!
So Nagasumi-san's feelings are with Masa-san...
No, no, no. San-chan, what are you saying?
I wish you happiness!
San-chan!
Misunderstood Feelings!
I can't win against the person you gave your first kiss to!
Worsening
Misunderstanding
San-chan!
Please wait, Nagasumi-san.
Confusing Love Triangle
Wait! Wait up, San-chan!
San-chan, it's a big misunderstanding.
Masa-san was just teaching me how to dance, that's all.
You are feeling sad and confused because you are too nervous.
Yeah...
As for our wedding... one day we might find another way to resolve it.
Please don't think too hard about it.
San-chan?
T-That's right...
Huh?
The ring is gone!
Eh?
L-Let's search for it!
It's just a glass marble.
There's no need to pay so much attention to it.
Nagasumi-san...
Are you treating our marriage as "just a glass marble", and not paying any attention to it?
It's just a symbolic glass marble...
We are just having a symbolic marriage...
However... however... it's something important to me.
I carefully thought out and made the decision myself!
I was prepared to get married as well!
But I feel uneasy!
I want to know a lot more about you!
I was always treating it as a symbolic marriage and have always been treating it lightly.
I was just going along with it.
But San-chan was serious about going out with me.
She was seriously sad about causing me trouble...
She was really happy with the glass ring.
She was serious when she misunderstood me...
That's right. I decided to risk my life to go out with San-chan, right?
Let's search for it, San-chan!
I'll treasure the glass ring as well!
Nagasumi-san...
naite dou naru mono deshou ka
How can crying be something that changes things?
Nagasumi-san, I'll find the ring.
Losing something important given to you by your husband is a disgrace to the mermaids of Seto Inland!

Suddenly I looked up at the direction of the journey.

A sense of duty bloomed like a barren flower.

My tears fall on the flowers.
You two.
Huh?
Could it be that you're looking for this?
Mother, why is that with you...?
Your father picked it up.
Father did?
Damn...
Father!
Don't call me "Father", you rascal!
But it's probably fate.
When I wore that yukata and came to the Bon Odori...
Your father bought a ring and confessed to me.
Eh? Seriously?
Rascal, you have a problem with that?!
None, none, none! I'm sorry!
How embarrassing!
Embarrassing!
T-This kind of ring...
should just disappear!
Masa-san!
N...
No!
My memories of summer...
Damaged eardrums... A body full of injuries...
Nagasumi...
Nagasumi... Nagasumi...
Ah, it's Grandfather!
Grandfather!
So, you've come all this way to visit me?
You are such an admirable child.
Grandfather, I'm tired.
Really? Really?
Then live with Grandfather here.
You won't feel hungry and there are no conflicts either.
Soul
Is this place Heaven?
It's Heaven.
Nagasumi-san!
Soul
Oh? I hear something.
Nagasumi, you can't listen to that.
You will...
Nagasumi-san!
Soul
Where is Grandfather?
Nagasumi-san!
So you have awakened, Nagasumi-san.
My injuries!
Thank goodness!
San, you should be more careful.
I'm fine.
Why did you suddenly regain consciousness?!
Can't you say something else to me?
Nagasumi-san, I'm sorry.
I can still handle this much.
From now on, I have to get along with that father...
I can't be defeated by just this.
Huh? What is it?
It's nothing.

A dazzling, dazzling abandoned island!
Along with a dazzling San-chan!
I'm dazzled by them!
If I can escape from the clutches of that Yakuza boss Father and spend time alone with San-chan...
That's not possible, right?
Huh? Who is that shortie?
Eh? That's San-chan's bodyguard?
Bodyguard? More like an assassin!
