(Whoa, I'm really doing it! It's cold, but not like when you go in in your bathing suit. Oh, I don't want to open my eyes…)

(Hm? Something's tapping my mask. It must be Kanan. She must be telling me to open my eyes.)

[Fade in/out.]

(…!)

[Fade in/out.]

That–That was amazing!

When you finally got me to open my eyes, everything was blue as far as I could see!

Yeah.

But the sun still shone down like a shiny curtain.

I've never seen anything so beautiful. Uchiura is amazing!

That so? *Chuckle* I'm glad to hear you say that. It makes me happy I invited you.

That's right. This place… This ocean is beautiful.

Kanan…?

[Fade in/out.]

There are lots of diving spots on the Izu Peninsula. There's Osezaki, Atami, and even Senbonhama and Shishihama, which are in Numazu, too.

Yet Uchiura is still so minor. As you can see, our store doesn't get many customers.

*Gulp*

I just can't stand how things are now. I want more people to come to Uchiura, even if it is the sticks.

Not all diving spots are big tourist sites, and I don't think this place being in the sticks is a big deal.

I think Uchiura is a lovely place, though.

The ocean is pretty, the fish are tasty, and there's a beautiful view of Mt. Fuji. It even has leisure stuff like an aquarium. That's more than enough, right?

There's a hotel and ryokan, so it's easy to stay the night.

Why not advertise a little? Tell them what a great diving spot this is!

I mean, I already…do…

…

M-Mari?! When did you get here?!

[Fade in/out.]

Where did you even come from?!

From the entrance, of course. I tried saying hi, but you guys didn't notice me. You don't seem very busy today, Kanan.

Picking a fight as soon as you get here, huh?

Kanan, calm down!
