"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?!
A merman who can't pay for his own food 
is nothing more than a decorative fish.
خيلان البحر ليس سوى سمكة زينةٍ إن كان غير قادر على دفع ثمن طعامه‏.‏
Ein Meermensch, der abhängig von anderen ist,
ist nicht mehr als ein bunter Fisch.
Un tritón que ni siquiera puede 
satisfacer sus necesidades
Un tritón que ni siquiera puede 
satisfacer sus necesidades
Une sirène qui ne peut même pas
gagner de quoi se nourrir,
Um sirene que não paga pela própria comida 
não passa de peixinho de aquário.
