Glassy Ocean (クジラの跳躍)

Leap of The Whale

Have you spotted anything?

There's a school of flying fish.

I bet we're being followed by some kind of giant fish.

The sea is made out of glass.

Ah, it's hardly worth the effort.

What's wrong, Tango?

A flying fish, eh?

I haven't had one of these in a while.

You can't reach it, can you?

There you go, Tango.

Take your time eating it.

Could this be...

Could this be... a whale?

Looks like it's about to jump.

Let's make camp here today.

When you make a fire on top of the sea, water people will appear

and sing a mysterious song.

A long time ago, I used to be a sailor.

If I close my eyes, I can picture a scene from a distant memory.

What a sad scene it is.

In that world I was in charge of winding the springs of the stopped clocks.

Even though I spent quite a lot of time traveling the world,

I can't recall the name of the boat.

That night, the man dreamt

of a town that he used to live in.

His dream, in turn, caused that dear town to spring forth from the sea.

We seek the land at the edge of the glassy ocean.

We shall make an oasis in the desert.

We seek the desert.

We shall make an oasis.

We seek the desert...

We shall make an oasis.

We seek the desert...

It's the painter, R.

Hey, it's been a while.

So you've finished a painting?

This one is of a column of water from over there.

Let me show you something really special.

In six hours, the entire body would emerge.

The eye of the whale...

I wonder if it can see us.

This is something I've wanted to paint for a long time.

By that afternoon the word had spread, and some sightseers gathered.

If only Sir Lime were here, he would have loved this.

He was an adventurer, you know?

That old guy never came back.

This cane, this was his cane.
