"The ocean is the mother of all living things." "Life begins in the ocean and returns to the ocean." "This could be the reason why humans feel nostalgia for the ocean." "Countless lives are born in the ocean, then they flourish and reproduce endlessly." "It's a relay of life that no one can stop." "Only those that survive the harsh reality are qualified to live in the ocean." "Many Boyfriends" "Are you thirsty?" "I'll get you some water now." "That's too much!" "Hey, wait!" "Haha!" "I did it!" "Waaaa!" "Watch out!" "Sorry, those are the only clothes I have." "These children don't have manners!" "Weren't you told not to charge out like that?" "Vehicles can't stop instantly." "Well, you might be right." "But they are still little kids." "Then why was that little one protecting the even younger one?" "Where are your parents?" "I'm not going to forgive you even if you cry." "You're gonna pay for my bike." "You're Jiro right?" "What?" "Although you believe you're in the right, the person who drives in the park is actually at fault." "What did you say?" "Kids who charge out can't stop instantly." "The one who should watch out is the driver." "How dare you!" "So what?" "I say what I have to say." "You know, I learned Karate in my junior high." "I learned cooking, too." "How are those even related?" "When we cook," "we use a knife, don't we?" "Hey, that's dangerous!" "All right, all right." "Special treatment for once." "I'll return your clothes." "Write down your address." "Okay, okay." "What a spunky girl." "I'm beginning to like her." "I don't really know my way here." "Fine." "Oh my, I made a mess." "Oh, sorry!" "I accidentally splashed mud on your car." "But I've cleaned it up, see?" "'Cause you really hadn't looked after it well, eh?" "Sorry!" "Under Construction" "That's too much!" "Hah?" "Sorry." "Do you think it's enough to just say sorry?" "!" "Don't worry, it's just a small matter." "I'm really sorry." "It's okay." "Totoo shouldn't be playing ping pong and volleyball together." "What a beauty..." "But then, it's dangerous to read while you're walking." "You need to be more careful." "Yes, ma'am." "Sis." "What is it, Totoo?" "That guy just now..." "What?" "He said you are pretty." "Really?" "Eh?" "Don't you feel shy?" "Because it's the truth." "Hah, what a megalomania!" "That guy might propose to you." "What are you talking about?" "Dinner time!" "It's curry!" "Such beauty..." "What a spunky girl." "So bright and capable." "Let's see." "Katou..." "Katou..." "Katou Jiro." "What an ordinary name." "Here?" "Yes?" "Who are you?" "I'm Melmo." "I see, so you are Melmo." "Please come in." "Thank you." "Sorry, we should be the ones returning the clothes to you." "For an elementary school kid she's surprisingly capable." "If she dates me, we'll be a perfect couple." "How many girlfriends do you want?" "Big Bro is such a playboy!" "Hahaha." "Being a bookworm, you must have envied me." "No way." "I also know a pretty girl." "You sure are unyielding." "That pretty girl of yours - is she a bookworm who wears glasses too?" "You really don't understand me, do you?" "Hey Jiro." "Why are you so quiet today?" "Your smile is disgusting!" "He always smiles like that when he finds a girl he likes." "Is she a beauty?" "What kind of girl is she?" "But then..." "That is to say..." "Hey, slow down at corners." "Haha, Sorry." "Sounds like they are back." "Wait a second." "I'll check it out." "I really want to see that girl again." "Bro, I'd like to meet that spunky girl of yours." "I too wanna meet the beauties you both were talking about." "Melmo-san!" "Melmo-chan!" "You are..." "Eh!" "You guys are brothers?" "So..." "Both your parents are no longer around?" "You must have had a hard time being alone." "I'm used to it." "How could that be?" "It's surely hard for you." "Some people who have parents don't even bother to work hard." "I see... that's why she cried at that time." "I went too far asking for her parents' whereabouts." "Excuse me, Bro." "Pardon me." "Please have some black tea." "That's rare." "Don't you have to study?" "Uh, yeah." "I just finished a section." "Melmo-san, would you like to have some granulated sugar?" "It's okay." "I'll do it myself." "Please enjoy the tea." "He's usually reading a book." "I wonder what happened to him today." "What?" "Taro, too?" "My friend gave me this cake." "Mom, you take the smaller one." "Please enjoy." "What's the matter with Taro and Saburo today?" "Damn." "They beat me to it." "Oh, man." "I've got nothing to offer." "I wish I could give her something." "That's right!" "P-Please have this, Melmo-san." "This is for me?" "Yes." "Oh, crap!" "You can't smoke yet." "Jiro-kun, that's annoying." "I made a fool of myself because of you guys." "Saburo did it first." "You tried to please her too, Big Bro!" "Shut up, little kid." "Back off, playboy." "I think my sincerity is what the girl needs..." "Back off, bookworm!" "You think you can win her heart with Karate?" "Say what?" "!" "So what?" "Damn you!" "Damn you!" "Melmo-chan, thank you so much for today." "Do come visit us often." "Don't be shy." "Thank you very much." "Please give Jiro-kun my regards." "Melmo-chan is such a nice girl!" "Indeed!" "Where are those boys?" "Oh my!" "What is this?" "What is happening?" "Look at the mess!" "You guys didn't even say "Goodbye" to Melmo-chan." "What?" "Melmo-chan left already?" "I have something to tell her." "Me too!" "That's my line!" "What's the matter with these boys?" "Wait!" "That's dirty!" "Wait!" "See that, Touch?" "Our sis is having a big headache now." "They are telling her to choose one of them." "To be fair, I'd like to befriend all three of you." "You can't pass yourself off like that!" "Of course, we can become friends." "But..." "They are entirely different matters." "I wanna be your ONLY friend." "Your boyfriend." "I want to be your lover." "How could she answer to something like that so suddenly?" "Might as well just put them to a test like what Princess Kaguya did." "Okay, we go high...higher..." "Oh!" "Sorry, don't cry." "Please don't cry." "But I need time to take care of my little brothers." "Touch has been in a bad mood lately." "Of course, I will help you babysit them." "Don't try to get ahead of us!" "I can sing lullaby, too." "Sleep, my little baby, sleep." "Regarding this, I've studied child psychology." "I've made up my mind." "Eh?" "Who is it?" "Is it me?" "Dumb-ass!" "No, not that." "I'm asking you guys to take a test." "A test?" "A test... okay!" "Testing who's the strongest?" "I hope it's a multiple choice question." "None of them." "The test will be on babysitting." "Let's see which of you can make Touch laugh." "The first person to make him laugh will be the winner." "How's that?" "All right, go for it!" "Mmm..." "Never knew I can be so popular." "A piglet and a calf are singing." "Oink moo moo, oink moo oink moo moo." "A piglet and a calf are singing." "Boys are more than I can handle." "Wow, that's incredible!" "It doesn't help to make you happy." "According to the book, if I gargle at 30 degrees, the noise will make him laugh." "How come?" "Or was the book wrong?" "Ouch!" "I'm indebted to all for listening..." "Sunset at the beach." "Beautiful, isn't it?" "You are romantic, Taro-san." "I like this view." "All living things rely on the ocean's nurture to flourish." "That could be the reason why humans feel nostalgia for the ocean." "Saburo-kun sounded like a garrulous professor." "No you can't." "We don't have many left." "What's wrong?" "Touch spilled the candies." "I need pick them up." "Candies?" "Touch, stop playing a prank okay?" "But you guys can do so many things." "That's incredible." "As expected, Saburo-kun should outshine the rest of you in studies." "W-What are you doing?" "!" "I saw a flea taking a stroll on your knee." "Or maybe it's a cockroach." "Ugh, disgusting." "Touch is asleep." "Let's call a truce until he wakes up." "What a waste for a joyride." "He probably didn't even know we were on a ride..." "Even so, he didn't laugh at all." "Looks like he's dreaming." "Let's leave him alone." "How about a walk along the beach?" "Gentle wind wraps around us, as the two of us dream about tomorrow." "The ocean gently welcomes us..." "Big bro, are you trying to space us out?" "I'll do my way." "What way?" " Well..." " The blueness and the vastness of a mother's embrace." "A long, long time ago, about one thousand million years from now, living things existed only in oceans." "Fish, shellfish, jellyfish, plankton, etc." "Everything lived in the ocean." "Have you ever tasted blood?" "That's right." "Blood probably tastes as salty as sea water." "Some said blood was formed from sea water that had entered the bodies of living things at that time." "Some even said that the way fetus floats within its mother's abdomen is a vestige left by ancient living things that had once floated in the ocean." "In addition, I'm sure you have experienced in your dreams the feeling of soaring in the sky, right?" "Some scholars said that it is also a trace of what is left in our hearts from living in the ocean a long time ago." "All in all, the ocean is the remote birthplace of all living things." "Hence human shouldn't pollute the ocean or harm marine lives." "Saburo-kun, you sure know a lot." "I truly respect you." "You flatter me." "That's nothing." "Suit yourself!" "Touch!" "Someone please..." "Touch!" "Touch!" "It's okay Touch." "You are safe now." "Oh, no!" "We are washed away." "Help!" "Melmo-chan!" "Help!" "Melmo-chan!" "Melmo-chan!" "Melmo-san!" "If I use this we might be saved." "No use." "We can't turn back." "Oh yeah, if we have the candies..." "None?" "Oh no!" "I must have dropped them when I jumped off the cliff." "What are we going to do, Big Bro?" "You know that Sabu and I can't swim." "Damn!" "No time to think over." "I'll go!" "Jiro." "Bro..." "I really can't swim." "I must get to the surface." "Oh no, I'm going to drown." "Wait a minute." "Specific density of human body is less than water, so I should be able to float!" "Melmo-chan!" "Melmo-chan!" "I can swim now." "I'll save Melmo-san." "All living things originate from the ocean." "There's an ocean within woman's body, too." "Man's sperm will meet the ovum in this ocean." "But sperms don't occur in isolation." "They come in twos and threes." "In fact, several hundred millions of sperms will swim toward one ovum." "This is a trial even before you are born." "The sperm that survives this trial will unite with the ovum and qualify to be born into this world." "Here." "Melmo-chan." "Jiro-kun." "Thank you." "Touch laughed!" "He laughed!" "That means I won?" "Oh!" "Touch has the candies..." "Oh crap!" "I totally forgot about my brothers." "Big Bro!" "Sabu!" " Help!" " Save me!" "Damn!" "I'm coming now!" "I must make it there in time!" "With these candies, things are much simpler." "I will now save you both." "What's happening?" "It's a dolphin!" "Melmo has become a dolphin?" "Help!" "Hang on, Sabu!" "Help!" "Hold on to me." "Are you okay, Sabu?" "I'm saved!" "I'm so glad!" "But I wonder why the dolphin saved us?" "Well..." "Jiro." "Do you know why?" "Eh, ah... mm..." "Jiro-kun." "This is a secret between us."
