PAGE 87 (Four panels)
Panel 1: CHIBA MOE (“Chiba”), a very attractive young Japanese woman wearing a white one-piece swimsuit that has a logo for the Marine Center above the left breast stands on a diving board in position to make a dive. The swimsuit, while a one-piece, seems designed to emphasize some sex appeal, especially cleavage. Around Chiba’s waist there is a belt with a bag of sorts attached. The diving board extends over the tank containing the creature.
CAPTION (1): At Energexecon Center, a few years later.
Translation (1): En el Centro de Estudios Marinos de Energexecon, unos años más tarde.
Panel 2: Chiba going into the water, her legs and lower half still out as she is in mid-dive.
SFX – DIVE (2): Splash!
Translation (2): ¡Plic!
Panel 3: A group of Cub Scouts in uniform, sitting cross-legged on the floor of the Center outside the pool. They are looking up, fascinated.
Panel 4: Chiba descending into the tank on her dive, underwater and surrounded by bubbles.
PAGE 88 (Four panels)
Panel 1: Chiba underwater in the tank. She is swimming upright and has taken a fish out of the bag tied to her belt, which she is holding in her hand. One of the creature’s tentacles is extending toward her.
Panel 2: One of the tentacles is wrapped around the fish. The other has grabbed onto one of the shoulder straps of Chiba’s suit and is pulling it down.
Panel 3: The Cub Scouts again, who are staring at this scene gap-mouthed and obviously very interested in what will happen next.
Panel 4: Chiba using her free hand to swat at the tentacles aiming at molesting her. Her shoulder strep is down around her upper arm.
PAGE 89 (Three panels)
Panel 1: Chiba wagging her finger at the retreating tentacle (indicate both with motion lines).
Panel 2: Chiba taking a “bow” underwater to her audience.
Panel 3: Probably the bottom half of the page – wide view of the Cub Scouts now on their feat and applauding.
SFX – APPLAUSE (1): CLAP CLAP CLAP CLAP…
Translation (1): CLAP, CLAP, CLAP, CLAP…
