"Am I a mooch?!" After watching an interview on TV, Wakasa realizes he may be a mooch. Wakasa asks Tatsumi to help him find work. He tries to write a resume, but with nothing to list but "20 years of experience as a merman," he abandons the idea. Tatsumi suggests entering prize contests. Wakasa enthusiastically begins writing, but...
Can Wakasa clear his doubts about being a mooch?!
If it takes that long, won't 
he kick me out before then?
إن تطلّب الأمر وقتاً طويلاً كذلك‏،‏ ألن يطردني قبل ذلك الحين إذاً؟
Wenn das so lange dauert,
jagt er mich sicher vorher fort?
Ce sera trop tard,
il m’aura déjà mis à la porte !
Já que demora tanto assim,
 ele não vai me expulsar antes?
