Shiro and Marilyn (マリリンに逢いたい)

There are islands called the Kerama Islands,

surrounded by the beautiful emerald green sea.

This is Aka Island, where Shiro lives.

If you take a ferry from Naha on the main island of Okinawa,

it takes about 2 hours to get there.

You can also take a plane to a nearby remote island and then cross by motorboat.

And this island

It's Zamami Island, where Marilyn is.

It's a straight-line distance of 3.3 kilometers from Aka Island.

5:30, huh...

- Are you going today? -Yeah.

- Take care. - Yes.

I'll throw away the big trash later for you.

- Sorry. - Yeah.

I'm going home.

I can't take you with me.

Hey there!

Wait! Wait...

What?

Oh, how unusual—a melon with fuzz.

Wait, isn't it a Dog?

You shouldn't throw away it in a place like this!

Isn't it the worst to discard living things like that?

Fool.

Marilyn!

Come on, come on, Marilyn, come here.

Come! Wow come here, come here, Marilyn.

Marilyn, become even more beautiful, and charm lots and lots of men.

Marilyn, you shouldn't let yourself be fooled by men as much as this lady here.

- I'm home~ - Oh, welcome back.

Oh, hey, Sacchan, want to go scuba diving together?

Too bad. Since the final exams are over,

I'm going with Marilyn to visit friends in Naha from now on.

Yeah, sure. Let me know the meeting point next time.

Everyone Are you ready?

- Looks like the boat is ready. - Yes.

You're late. Look, Sawako, the boat is leaving.

Quickly, get ready, get ready.

Daisuke!

You're late. I just called the store now.

Sorry, sorry. I had Benbe sent out for repairs.

Domestic ones are so tender, that's why I prefer them.

What, is this all the luggage?

Oh? Is this everything you've cultivated in your six years of life in Tokyo?

- Have some mercy. - Your voice is quite loud.

Huh?

What, what, what is this?

I just picked it up.

Don't pick it up. Right when I'm about to go home.

Just throw it away around here.

Sure, I'll take it with me.

Taking it with you, huh? You can't keep a dog on the island.

You don't know about island legends.

I'll figure something out.

You're a strange one.

Suddenly, you're going back to the country and starts talking about running a guesthouse.

It's not sudden. I've been thinking about it for a while.

Ah, yes...

I have something for you. Here, a farewell gift.

- What's this? - Oh.

- It's too big amount. - It's okay.

The pool bar in Kitasenju is thriving since its opening, making good profits.

I've made quite a bit, so why not use it to support the run a guesthouse? What do you think?

Don't be surprised by around a million. Huh?

Look. Yeah.

- Don't drop it. - Ok.

- Alright, cheers, brothers. - Cheers!

Alright!

Well then.

Watch out for Shiro's pee.

- Don't just give names on your own. - It's white, so it's Shiro, right!

Daisuke Nakazato!

Hello, is this Daisuke?

Is this Daisuke?

Where are you now?

In Naha?

Ah, I've come back.

Are you coming by Ship or air?

Oh, the 3:30 Zamami Maru?

Hey.

Oh!

It's been a while. Are you coming back?

Wow.

Cute.

- Is this Daichan's dog? - Yes.

Oh, Daichan.

Oh my~ Did you come back?

Hello, it's been a while.

Katsue, didn't say anything.

It was sudden, so.

Look, see? Isn't it cute?

Are you taking this with you?

- It might be bad. - Why?

There have always been lots of field mice over there.

To exterminate them, we brought ferrets from the mainland.

Ferrets and dogs are natural enemies, you know.

Now, it should be okay, I think.

Grandpa and grandma and the others are surely going to complain.

It would be nice if it becomes your hometown.

Goodbye.

Welcome back. Your bag.

It's fine.

What... what is it?

I won't cause any trouble, so.

Did you properly pay your respects?

Yes.

Picking up a stray dog, you're like a child.

Is Tatsurō still the same as ever?

Big bro, he was in good spirits.

That's right.

- This. - What?

This much money...

It seems like he making a lot of profit, so I received it as a farewell gift.

It's money earned through shady means anyway.

You know he opened a shop, right?

What kind of shop is it?

That kid can't earn decent money.

To willingly receive that with joy.

It's legitimate money.

Because he said, 'Use it to supplement building the guesthouse.'

- Really? - It's true.

It doesn't have that dirty feeling.

You should trust him more.

Not that. Really? Running a guesthouse, you know.

I guess you've been saving money in Tokyo for that purpose.

It's a business dealing with customers. Tatsurō might be able to handle it, but can you?

There's no choice but to do it.

What else can you do here?

I'll make it easy for you.

I'll be here all the time, so.

I'm not thinking about being supported by you.

Shiro.

Shiro.

Shiro.

Oh, Daisuke.

When are you coming back? Do you have some business?

Ah, just a moment. Taking it easy is fine, right?

Yeah, see you again.

Eat, eat.

Eat.

It doesn't eat grass.

Oh, is that Daichan?

Oh, thank you. It's been a while.

It's not a dog, is it? What happened?

It won't cause any trouble.

Shiro, Shiro!

Shiro, Shiro... over here, over here.

Daichan!

See you.

Where are you going?

Just to the town hall, you know.

Well, should I take care of it at my place for a while?

Marilyn is also there, right?

- Then, I'll leave it to you until I return. - Yes.

Come on, this way. Marilyn. Shiro, Shiro.

Oh, Marilyn's boyfriend?

Yeah, Shiro from Aga Island.

Oh, I see. Not a mixed breed.

Marilyn, there are plenty of good men out there,

so don't rush things like that.

But you know, keep your preferences in moderation.

You're talking about running a guesthouse, aren't you?

Huh, so you've managed to overcome your dislike of people a bit in Tokyo, huh?

For now, here. It's village-owned land, you know

There's permission to rent during the islanders' gatherings.

Can't you somehow request that?

Huh, as usual, huh?

You also have to take out a loan, right?

Building a guesthouse is not an easy task.

Shiro, Shiro, Shiro, Shiro... Such a good boy.

Come on, stay still, stay still.

There you go.

Alright...

Daichan, you know, came back to build the guesthouse.

A young person dedicating himself to the island's reconstruction.

- Right, Daichan? - It's not quite like that.

Amazing. If the guesthouse is ready, I might stay there.

- Me too. - Me too, me too.

So, are you our business rival?

- In that case, we'll be your first customer, right? - Sure, why not.

Daisuke, look this way.

A simple young man.

Daichan, do your best.

Ah~ look, Daichan. You seem a bit unsteady on your feet.

Goodbye.

Shall we go?

Shall we go? Let's go.

I'm not joking.

Those flashy and noisy women like them.

Shall I give you a place to stay?

Oh, when I get back, it's work again.

Being able to work is the peak, isn't it?

Yes, if I You can't become a photographer, You'll get married.

Because you made a promise with your parents, Minami.

Now is the crucial moment.

It's 56 times 2, 56 times 1, 56 times 9.

- Alright, let's go. - Yes.

- 35,300. - Yes.

- Hurry up. - Yes.

Yes.
