Tokimeki Kaigai Monogatari (ときめき海岸物語)

Can I borrow this bike?

Sure.

In return, shall we eat ramen later?

Is this your first time here?

Yeah, it is.

Where did you surf before?

Red beach.

Here you go.

Where is your house?

I'm from Taiji.

Taiji,

It's whale town.

How old are you?

17.

When you grown up,

want to get on a boat and become a fisherman?

Are you going to become a fisherman?

When did you start surfing?

Two years ago.

Then you've been with Hoshino, huh.

Uncle,

Give me some water, please.

Here.

Thank you.

How was your morning?

Takaoki,

There's fish from the beach in the refrigerator.

Ok.

Thank you for your hard work.

That guy has arrived.

Takaoka's reign is ending today.

It has become a tragic challenge.

It's safe to say there are already issues with the Takaoka's power.

Alright, it's time to take off.

Shift weight to the nose.

He accelerated sharply.

Good job.

Whoa, that's a powerful kick on the bottom turn of the board.

It was riding on the ramp.

That's called a prout.

Of course,

Takaoka doing his best.

However, it seems like the trigger has already been pulled, hasn't it?

Going forward, I hope he'll be even more dedicated to practicing.

Well.

Hey, You guys

Come over here.

Starting today, surfing at Tooben is prohibited.

Yunbe, there are five people who defecated in front of the entrance to the Black family's house.

What a shitty sight.

It's not an common occurrence.

Mr. Sasahara dashed to the president's place this morning, everyone is furious, it seems

Saying they're going to drive surfers away from this beach.

It's not us,

so there's no need to go all the way to someone's house like that.

It's not up to Sasahara's crew to decide, so there's nothing to worry about.

Well, that's collective responsibility for you.

What do you mean by collective responsibility?

There are about five or six cars with Osaka license plates, huh, those guys.

Those city folks are messing around, huh.

Where did they go?

Thry went off to Shingu, saying stuff like 'Nami's boring' and making random comments.

Then there's the party at the Kumano River,

and it's Saturday today, you know.

They're gonna stay one more night, aren't they?

Anyway, go home today.

If you go home obediently

I'll do something to help out.

Okay?

If there's someone sneaking into the sea,

I won't know.

Make sure to keep Asatani, the station,

and Yasaka and Isodo clean.

rotten piece of trash!

Oh, nice!

Are you two dating?

Hey,

You guys are taking a dump in front of someone's house!

Do you guys have any surfer pride?

Therefore, in the name of Jerry Lopez, sanctions have been imposed.

Your car tires have been punctured

And the muffler is filled with mud.

It's been done.

Ugh, it's dog poop.

Hurry up and cleaned it up there.

Ugh, that sucks.

You both are classmates, right?

Back in middle school, yeah. But when we got to high school, he was in the industrial and civil engineering field.

- Is that guy normal? Then, is he going to take the university entrance exam? - Yes.

- His parents are really into it, they've built a study room in the garden or in a prefab. - They're really something.

But he's a bit different. He don't really get along with the classmates aiming for higher education and instead hang out with people like me who aren't as motivated.

- Are you going to take the university entrance exam? - There's no way, I'm the stingy son of a liquor store owner, after all.

Once I graduate from high school, there's physical work and waiting ahead.

Look what I got from vendine machine.

It's big.

You

Yeah

It's big, isn't it?

I guess, there's no poop here.

But you're good at surfing.

Yeah, you're really good.

I didn't know there were guys around here as good as you.

The other day, we went to Ise and saw a professional demonstration.

We're not easily impressed.

Why don't you try entering some kind of contest?

Oh, for sure, you'd definitely win a prize.

Marine High Pro Armor Open Championship total prize money is 1.5 million yen.

Placing in the top 3 gets you certified as a pro Have you already applied?

Why do I always have to go to the sea? Fishermen go back and forth every day without a break.

But it would feel great to compete against people from all over Japan, wouldn't it?

It would be great.

Hey, how about going somewhere from here?

Sounds good.

Then let's go for a drink.

Let's go.

Can't say what'll happen once we start drinking.

That's right, isn't it?

Excuse me.

What is it?

Nothing.

It's probably not enough.

I can only give you that.

If you pay properly for oil, net repairs, and ship savings, almost half will be gone.

Hey

Takaoki

You don't need to be here,

I'm all alone in the town.

It's kind of pitiful though.

but you're still a young groom.

In Shingu

Find a good job however many times it takes.

I don't understand anymore.

I can't cook or do anything.

I've hit rock bottom, but I'll manage somehow.

Yamaguchi

I wanna have the pork miso soup set meal.

Okay.

You're really putting on a show today, huh?

Oh.

Where's your dad?

He went to church in Shingu.

Use this, not that.

As you say.

Are you injured?

Oh.

That's right.

Is school closed today?

I'm not going to high school.

Oh, I see.

I went for a year and a half,

I've quite after that.

Why?

I've been targeted

by the leader of the delinquents.

I was scared.

You're cute, aren't you?

Hey,

I didn't want to tell anyone, but

I'm going to Osaka in June

and won't be back.

My mother lives in Osaka,

She'll take me and send me to the girls' school over there.

I see.

Then I'll be lonely.

It's not like I'm going there willingly.

Why are you not going to high school now?

Because I'm poor.

My dad died on a boat when I was in elementary school, you know.

Is that so?

True, but you like the dormitory, don't you?

I couldn't catch fish, so I got fired from being a fisherman.

How many times have you tried to find a new job in Shingu?

Yeah, it looks like I won't be able to surf for a while.

- Here - Thank you.

I will humbly receive it.

It's unpleasant, isn't it? Just hearing sad stories on rainy days.

What's this, Takaoki?

Are you waiting for me?

My son is kind.

Is there a use for that?

Oh, there is a use.

Today, i met intresting group of people.

It was some sort of computer company.

They flattered me, saying your mom is beautiful.

They even provided karaoke and dancing as a service.

Wow

Aren't you embarrassed after eight years?

Stop it.

Yeah, I'm getting drunk tonight.

Ah, this morning,

I just got visitors.

I ended up saying I wouldn't make money from selling beer to cover the refrigerator costs.

I got scolded severely by the boss.

They made me compensate for five beers, saying it was my responsibility.

You should forgive me.

I think it can't be helped if it's the wholesaler for the liquor store,

but the manager didn't say, "Compensate at the customer's price."

It's 660 yen per bottle, right?

Compensate from me is about 60 yen.

Isn't that something foolish to say?
