02:30Because when I'm playing this piano, I can almost remember Mom.

02:36I can hold my breath underwater for an unnaturally long time because I have her DNA.

02:41Honestly, it's the only connection I have to her.

02:44A mermaid!

02:58Crap!

03:01I need air!

03:03I knew at one point he'd overdo it and drown.

03:20So disappointing.

03:23Humans really are incompetent.

03:25Imbecile.

03:47Huh?

03:48You mean you hid and listened every time I played that piano?

04:04Yeah.

04:05Yeah.

04:05I think there aren't any mermaids left who know how to play piano.

04:09Even though humans are incompetent beasts, I'd say that the way you play is profoundly beautiful.

04:17That's why I rescued you.

04:19Incompetent.

04:24This is the first time I've seen a mermaid.

04:27Is that the mouth she uses to eat people?

04:29Well, she's scary.

04:32But more than that.

04:39Oh yeah!

04:41You have to let me repay you for rescuing me.

04:44Huh?

04:44Repay me?

04:45In human terms, what I did was like rescuing a cat or dog.

04:49I don't want payment for that.

04:51No!

04:51I insist.

04:54Let me give you piano lessons.

04:57You did say that there aren't any mermaids left who can play, right?

05:00It'd be a shame for the piano to go to waste.

05:05Humans are supposed to be afraid of us.

05:08That's what they say.

05:10Aren't you scared?

05:11It's been rumored that we mermaids like to eat humans.

05:15I am scared.

05:17But you're honestly so pretty that I...

05:21I wouldn't really mind if you ate me.

05:31My name is Shiju.

05:33To tell you the truth,

05:35I've always wanted to play the piano.

05:39Well then, perfect!

05:41My name is Toshihide.

05:43It's a pleasure.

05:45From that moment on,

05:54I skipped school every day to teach Shiju piano underwater.

05:57My name is Toshihide.

05:58My name is Toshihide.

05:59My name is Toshihide.

06:00My name is Toshihide.

06:01My name is Toshihide.

06:02My name is Toshihide.

06:03My name is Toshihide.

06:04My name is Toshihide.

06:05My name is Toshihide.

06:06My name is Toshihide.

06:07My name is Toshihide.

06:08My name is Toshihide.

06:09My name is Toshihide.

06:10My name is Toshihide.

06:11My name is Toshihide.

06:12My name is Toshihide.

06:13My name is Toshihide.

06:14My name is Toshihide.

06:45What is this?

06:59It's a sweet red bean bun.

07:01Oh, this is pretty darn good.

07:03I'm glad you like it.

07:04Tell me, what do you usually eat, Shiju?

07:07We mermaids like to eat fish and seaweed.

07:10We don't mind human flesh once in a while.

07:12Well, if one dares to enter our territory.

07:19Oh, I see.

07:26But, if you bring me a sweet red bean bun every day,

07:30then I suppose I won't eat you.

07:33Well, that sure is a relief.

07:38Aren't the red buns just delicious?

07:39Shiju was a natural on the piano.

08:02Wow, that was awesome.

08:12And did you hear how well I was playing?

08:14Yeah, incredible.

08:16I was so impressed.

08:17I'm still not quite at your level, though.

08:19But I bet I can get there really fast.

08:22I don't think it'll be in this lifetime.

08:23You sure about that?

08:27Oh.

08:43What are you looking at?

08:45It's just that your smile is so pretty that I...

08:51I couldn't help but stare.

08:53To be honest, I've always found you to be intimidating.

09:01Obviously.

09:02I am a mermaid.

09:03But right now, I'm not scared.

09:07Because when I look at you,

09:09I get this really warm feeling in my chest.

09:12Do you know what that feeling is?

09:16How should I know?

09:25Shiju?

09:27Toshihide, get to shore right now!

09:29Hurry!

09:33Who knows what would have happened to you

09:49if my fishing boat hadn't been passing by?

09:52I told you.

09:53Stay away from those mermaids, Toshihide.

09:55They don't think of us humans

09:57as anything more than food.

10:03It was a stroke of bad luck.

10:06It wasn't even shark season.

10:09One showed up anyway.

10:11Bit my leg.

10:12And my arm.

10:14And then...

10:15Shiju bit off my ear.

10:17I'll never forget the look on her face.

10:33Her mermaid instincts fully kicked in.

10:37Probably because she smelled my blood.

10:39That warm feeling in my chest was gone.

10:54When I pictured her face,

10:56all I felt was fear.

10:59For a while, I stopped going to the ocean.

11:01There's a mermaid at the end of the dock.

11:14What?

11:15I'm talking about the ocean, right?

11:18Humans are to blame for the attack.

11:20In fact, if you don't want mermaids to eat you,

11:23I would suggest living off the land

11:25and staying out of the ocean.

11:26If you ain't here to apologize,

11:28what the hell do you want?

11:29You monsters tore a chunk out of a kid.

11:32Maybe we ought to hold you accountable.

11:34Accountable?

11:36You must be joking.

11:37You really think you're better than us?

11:39You remember until a few years ago,

11:41humans ate mermaids too.

11:43All because of some outlandish superstition

11:46that it could somehow make you all immortal.

11:48And I don't recall humans taking accountability for that.

11:52Well, that's got nothing to do with this.

11:54Quit messing around.

11:55Who the hell do you think you are?

11:59Shiju, you are forbidden from going near the coast.

12:06And I must remind you again

12:07that humans are never to be eaten by us.

12:10You've got it all wrong!

12:11I've been informed that you have befriended a human.

12:13It's just that your smile is so pretty that I...

12:27I couldn't help but stare.

12:31Humans and mermaids aren't capable of coexisting.

12:35You attacked that human based on instinct, didn't you?

12:38That's all you need to know.

12:39I have to apologize to Toshihide.

12:51Hey! Get back here, Shiju!

12:54Everyone, go after her!

12:56She must be swimming to the coast!

12:57Toshihide, you were playing an underwater piano

13:14every time you skipped school, weren't you?

13:16You know, the one who told you about that underwater piano

13:24was your mother.

13:28But I always thought I found it on my own.

13:35Dad, Mom was a mermaid, right?

13:39Weren't you afraid of her?

13:41I was.

13:42You were deeply in love.

13:46But one day she caught a whiff of blood

13:48and everything changed.

13:50If you were scared,

13:52then why was it that you married her?

13:56It was your mother's smile.

13:58It was so beautiful that it made my entire chest warm.

14:02It was the strangest feeling.

14:04At first I thought it was some kind of mermaid magic.

14:06But it wasn't magic.

14:25I felt that way because I feared her.

14:29Even still, I decided I'd be okay with being eaten

14:32if it was by someone with such a beautiful smile.

14:36That's how much I loved her.

14:42Toshihide, you can go to the sea.

14:45Just come home in time for dinner.

14:47Hmph.

14:51It was the same for me as it was for Dad.

14:54I'm really scared of Shiju.

14:57But I'm even more afraid of never seeing her again.

15:02That's the reason Dad married Mom.

15:24If I play that piano,

15:26I might get to see her again.

15:31I'll play till I drown.

15:32Toshihide!

15:40Toshihide!

15:40I wonder what it sounds like to Shiju.

16:03I wonder if you give her the chance.

16:04I wonder what it sounds like to tend to be anywhere near the end.

16:06I wonder if someone can do what it is.

16:12It will be on her way and I'll be living near the mists.

16:14I wonder what it happens.

16:17I wonder what it is.

16:19I guess I wish he will rather have a long time.

16:22It is just for Dad.

16:23Maybe someone else Kommoriler?

16:25I wonder what you would expect.

16:26I wonder what you would expect.

16:27But if you would come here during the coming along.

16:27I think I'd love to all your own ideas to the quest.

16:28Don't take part, itnnalki that looks like to start something dark.

16:31I wasn't aware that humans were capable of this.

16:46Oh, goodness. What is this magic?

16:49So this is the piano.

16:50I never knew something could sound so beautiful underwater.

16:54So, everyone is capable of finding the beauty in things.

16:59Emotions are the universal language.

17:01Shiju, I'm glad I got to see you.

17:14Toshihide, look.

17:16Toshihide, look.

17:17Toshihide, look.

17:18Toshihide, look.

17:20Toshihide, look.

17:21Toshihide, look.

17:22Toshihide.

18:24I don't like humans. I actually despise them.

18:28But I will admit you're incredible. I want to keep listening.

18:31You have to continue playing for us.

18:34Oh, wow. I want to give it a try.

18:36Me too. I'll try it too.

18:38But no one's doing anything. That's only my job.

18:41I played the piano until the next morning.

18:50My fingers went stiff as rods, and my lips hurt from too much mouth to mouth.

18:55Evidently, I wasn't home in time for dinner, and Dad got mad at me for the first time in forever.

19:02How's your ear? Is the pain gone?

19:08Yep, the pain's all gone. I'm all right, Chiju.

19:11And you already apologized all day yesterday.

19:13Our chief really wants you to visit the village to teach piano.

19:17She asked me if it was possible for you to come and start right now.

19:21Right now?

19:21But how am I supposed to get there?

19:27I'll be helping by giving you mouth to mouth for air. I hope that's okay.

19:32That sounds awesome. But I have to go to school today.

19:37Just skip it. Why are you going to school?

19:41My dad insists. He was pretty angry with me.

19:43I think I actually worried him a bit.

19:47Oh, too bad.

19:48Well, don't be late. See you later.

19:53See you after school, Toshihire!

19:57I'll, uh, see you guys later.

20:04I know a lot of mermaids now.

20:07I still find mermaids a little frightening.

20:13But when I picture mom and Chiju's smiles, I feel like I could come to love them too.

20:43You leave me out.

20:51I know a lot.

20:53I know you.

21:08But I don't know.
