After that eventful day, Kukuru tries to figure out other ideas to attract more visitors. Of course, it seems that some found out Fuuka’s secret that she didn’t reveal to her.
It seems that Kukuru discuss the idea of bringing back touch pools. Of course, her grandfather allows her to do it. Of course, she depends on Fuuka being the attendant. Sure, she must memorize all those species in the touch pool, but thankfully it’s not too many.
Thankfully, Kukuru will help. She also learns that she also makes sure people, kids especially won’t become too rough with the animals. This of course causes her to remember the times being an idol. Yep, those memories are going to eventually haunt her later.
While Fuuka shopped for supplies, she decides to buy red boots. She thinks the kids will like them. Yep, Kukuru finds them strange. Either way, the workers make the preparations, until Fuuka notices something strange in a storage room. A man with a pop in his mouth notices Fuuka and chases her. The guy ends up hurting his back. His name is Gousuke Guden, who works at the aquarium. He seems a bit curious about Fuuka. After he left, he finds out that Fuuka is a former idol.
After work, Kukuru and Fuuka went to the bar to deliver some fliers. Of course, Karin and Undon drags Kukuru out for some reason. I wonder what it’s about. This leaves Fuuka with Kai. Thankfully, nothing suspicious happened, although he turned on the TV, which had a variety show of Fuuka’s former idol unit. This of course triggers Fuuka as Kai changes the channel. It’s obvious they are hiding something.
It becomes obvious why Karin and Undon drags Kukuru out. They want to tell her that Fuuka was an idol. Of course, Kukuru seems clueless about this. Sure, Fuuka seems to act strangely, but she said it’s nothing. However, she is hiding something.
The next day, Fuuka is cleaning the aquarium glass. Of course, three old women surrounds her and asks where Fuuka came from. Also, they are coming back the next day. It makes me wonder if Fuuka will survive. As expected, Kai seems suspicious of Fuuka as he doesn’t know how long she will stay. Still, I find it amazing how he gathered so many crabs. Time to make a Maryland crab joke, I guess. Thankfully, they managed to finish the preparations on time.
The next day, it seems the touch pool is going well as the children enjoying themselves. Of course, that is until a few young women and men notices Fuuka and recognizes that she is a former idol from Yona Pro. Yep, they want to take pictures of her. Thankfully, Karin directs Undon to get Kukuru. Either way, it’s obvious that Fuuka feels uncomfortable.
Eventually, Fuuka comes clean about her past as Kukuru apologizes. It’s obvious she wants to make the touch pools a success but blames herself for being careless. Fuuka admits it’s herself as she wanted to work hard to get to know Kukuru more. But yes, this moment feels like a great bonding moment with each other. It’s obvious they want to get closer to each other.
After Fuuka came back, it seems the rest of the pool touching session went smoothly. Of course, Fuuka reveals that she was an idol from Yona Pro. Of course, they apparently knew all along. Not too surprising since Guden is probably a wota.
With that, when Fuuka and Kukuru returning to the aquarium. There, they see a strange woman. Yep, it’s Fuuka’s mother. It appears that she is there to get Fuuka. I don’t think things will go well from here, especially with her daughter not returning home for days.
Good to see Fuuka and Kukuru slowly grow closer together. The dream lives on.
Very intrigued to see what will happen in the confrontation with Fuuka’s mom.
Hopefully it will continue to be that way. Still, I am curious what will Fuuka’s mom will do besides trying to force her to return home. We’ll see soon.
Considering the nature of the show I don’t think Fuuka will be dragged away from the aquarium for too long (if it happens at all).
Plus in the long run it may actually help Fuuka as so far she has runaway from her past and does not want to deal with it. By her mum confronting her in this fashion Fuuka will be forced to deal with this problem head on which is needed considering this is a real sore spot for her.
