I feel like I'm invading,
kokoro kouryaku tte kibun... ganbacchae!
ココロ攻略って気分... がんばっちゃえ!
Feeling like capturing your heart... Gotta give it your best!
Then I'm off!
Be careful.
Where are you going?
Elementary school. Today's a school day.
Then I'm going, too.
Eiko once said to me, "You'll have to start with elementary school".
I did say that, but that's not quite what I meant.
I don't mind, but there are a lot of elementary schoolers there.
That's fine. I'm used to dealing with kids.
I won't let them degrade me to a mere toy squid anymore!
Shall We Swim to an Elementary School?!
The number of kids here is on a totally different level than at Lemon House.
I want to leave already.
Hi, everybody! How have you all been?
I really missed you all. I've been...
They used to cling to me like that before,
and now they completely ignore me.
What's with that thief?!
Excuse me! Who do you think you are?
Outsiders can't just come in here, you know!
I'm related to Takeru.
Yeah!
Don't be mean to Ika-neechan!
I'm not feeling so well, so please do some self-studying.
We're done already?
Oh yeah, Ika-neechan,
why don't you teach us something?
What?
Wait, this might be my chance.
I can convince the kids to become my allies.
Everybody, listen up!
Humans have polluted the sea time and time again for their own personal gain!
That's despite having enjoyed the gifts of the sea.
Don't you think it's horrible to repay that by hurting the sea?!
That's horrible.
Yeah, that's totally horrible!
Let's defeat the evil humans who pollute the sea and get our clean sea back!
Yeah!
She really has what it takes to gather children under her banner.
Okay, follow me!
Yeah!
Let's defeat the littering humans!
Let's get our clean sea back!
Let's defeat the littering humans!
See, this is what happens when I get serious.
Let's get our clean sea back!
I'm going to take over the entire elementary school like this.
Out of the way!
What the hell, all of a sudden?!
You're in the way of our march!
No, you're in our way!
We were playing soccer here first!
Those guys are always like that.
They always hog this place.
Then how about we have a match of that "soccer" you speak of?
What?!
Oh? Sure, let's do it.
Wait, Ika-neechan!
Are you sure that's a good idea?
There's nothing to worry about.
I'm going to win no matter what.
It's always like this, but where does her confidence come from?
So, how does this "soccer" work?
I knew you didn't know anything.
Nice shot!
You kick the ball with your foot like that and have to get it into the opponent's goal.
That's easier than baseball.
Here you go, Ika-neechan.
Try passing that to me.
All right.
I guess you're basically really clumsy with anything but your tentacles.
I'm going home.
It's too early to leave!
Yeah, let's defeat them and show them!
Oh, that's right!
I can't run away if I want to take over this school!
Just you watch!
I'll show you how good I am!
I did it!
Did you see my super shot?!
That was handling!
Yeah! You totally used your hands!
That goal doesn't count!
What?! That weren't my hands!
It was my tentacles!
TL Note: "Tentacles" written in kanji contains the kanji for "hand".
Tentacles
My... tentacles...
Ika-neechan, even I don't think that will work.
You really did just throw it.
It's fine!
I can score an amazing goal even without using my tentacles!
Just leave the shots to me!
You heard that?
Send all the balls to her!
Ika-neechan!
Here!
Again!
This sport is pretty rough.
Sorry, Ika-neechan, but please go be the goalie.
I see, the goalie is allowed to use his hands, huh?
Somebody stop him!
Bring it on!
What? How's that ever supposed to go in?!
Do you know how dangerous it is to kick it that hard?!
But that's how it works...
Let's just go back to how we were before.
All you need to do is kick the ball when it comes to you.
If I don't do something spectacular before this ends,
everything I built up will be lost.
That girl's become totally useless since she stopped using her weird hair.
Were we a little too mean?
She has a lot of supporters, too.
If we win like this, won't we look like total jerks?
Um, we have a favour to ask...
Don't worry!
You can do it!
Go, go!
They're all counting on me.
In order to keep my dignity as a squid,
I have to score no matter what!
Ika-neechan, here!
All right!
This is it!
You scored a goal while doing a back-flip during your first match ever?!
I knew Ika-neechan was amazing!
Well, obviously.
It's suck-up soccer...
A draw...
I guess we couldn't settle it.
Don't say that.
Why don't you just share this field as friends from now on?
I guess we can do what you suggested.
The kids from Class 3 listened to her.
Ika-neechan is amazing.
This feels so good.
I think I'm just a step away from taking over this elementary school.
Hold it!
Teacher!
I'd like my students back.
It's way too late now!
Look at these numbers!
All of them are already under my control!
Our bond is not so fickle that it will crumble easily!
Let's see about that.
Who wants ice cream?
Me!
Bond
The path of invading sure is rocky.
Lemon
Water!
Two fried rice!
Beer!
Ramen!
Right away!
We don't really get a lot of female customers, huh?
Now that you mention it...
I wonder why that is.
I think they'd come if we had a handsome guy here.
Where would we get one of those?
Please stop that!
Ink ya!
Squid in Cosplay?!
This the place that's said to have the hot waiter.
Welcome.
I'd like an iced tea, please.
A parfait for me, please.
Definitely a hit with the girls.
Nagisa-kun is a success.
Is this all right?
Perfect.
You totally look like a guy.
Really?
Well, sometimes people mistake me for a guy even when I'm not disguised as one.
No, I meant that you're really pulling off the disguise.
Oh, then I'm glad.
Praising someone can be tricky.
Excuse me.
Right away.
No matter how cool she acts, Nagisa is Nagisa.
I'll scare her and show them her true colours!
I'll take your order now.
Nagisa.
Don't get too cocky,
or you're going to face the consequences.
So scary...
But... No. Right now I'm the cool dude, Nagisa-kun.
I have to display a manly reaction to this.
Missy, I'm sorry, but I have to work right now.
The weather's nice, so why don't you go play outside?
My invasion is no game!
Look at that: the roles are reversed.
Welcome!
Ahh! Nagisa!
Nagisa-kun, please take this.
Sure.
I can't deal with Nagisa disguised as a guy.
This disguise might be pretty handy.
Seeing this makes me kind of greedy.
It would be nice to attract more male customers too, huh?
Hey.
Oh, you're from the South Wind.
Looks like you're quite busy here.
If you want to borrow me again, forget it.
That's not it.
I actually wanted you to take in my Ayumi again.
Ayumi?
So your name was Ayumi?
I figured she'd be less shy here where she isn't known.
I guess that makes sense.
All right then, she's all yours.
That's putting way too much on our hands!
Well, it's fine, isn't it?
I couldn't ask for anyone better than Ayumi.
I guess.
There's no way the guys can stay away.
But what will she wear?
It needs to make an impact, or she'll lose out to Nagisa-kun.
It's perfect!
That looks great on you.
I'm embarrassed.
If only there was something to offset your shy side a bit.
How about this?
I bought it for self-defence.
As if you need something like that.
There's been a lot of girls here lately.
Isozaki. Did he come here to hit on girls?
They are here! A whole buffet of girls!
Welcome home, Master.
This girl...
Nice to see you again.
How about a date when your shift is over?
A movie or karaoke?
This is scary,
but I can't flinch now.
So how can I contact you?
Master...
May I take your order?
Iced... coffee.
Understood.
Why did I...
You managed to speak pro-actively.
Thanks to this.
Please keep it up then.
Oh, welcome.
Welco-
Welcome home, Master.
Yes?
Welco-
Please take the seats in the back!
Here is your beer.
Thank you.
It's true.
I can speak on equal terms with the customers.
Excuse me.
Right away!
I'll go.
Excuse me.
Right away!
Yes, what can I do for you?
Could I please get an orange juice?
How did it come to this?
Nagisa isn't scared at all.
And Ayumi's confident now.
At this rate, those two are going to invade my home base!
I want to do something, too!
What are you talking about?
You're cosplaying as a squid, aren't you?
This isn't cosplay!
Thanks.
Thank you for coming.
Fine, I'll think of something myself!
Hey, how's my Ayumi doing?
Did she warm up to the customers a bit?
Yeah, she's totally fine.
Yes, understood, Master.
You fool!
This is no different from the fake Ika Musume costume!
Ayumi, we're going home!
I'm the same.
I can only stand strong against that squid person because I'm disguised as a man.
I'm just avoiding the issue and not changing my core self.
Isn't there something I can do?
This is it!
Good morning.
Huh, Nagisa-chan?
I won't wear the male disguise anymore.
That's what I decided.
That's fine.
That's something we pushed on you anyway.
I'm sorry. We'll have fewer female customers.
I'm here!
What are you doing?
We are Queen Elizabeth.
We will bring more customers here than ever.
What? We're done with the cosplaying.
Servants! We're going!
Aye, Milady!
Citizens! We thank you for gathering for Us.
What are you just standing around for?
That's where you go "yay!"
Yay!
My Queen, please speak to us.
I'm going to change.
This is the hottest day ever.
The heat is warping the air.
Make sure to drink plenty of fluids so you don't get heat stroke.
Yes!
Okay then, I'm going to have an orange juice-
That hurt!
Those are for sale!
Drink water.
Here.
You could've just said so in the first place.
Wa... Wa...
Wa... Water.
Who are you?
Squidn't You Lose a Little Weight?!
Here.
I'm alive again!
Oh, it's you, Sanae.
I thought you were some boxer trying to lose weight!
What were you thinking,
going outside dressed like that on a hot day like this?
It's suicide!
I thought it'd be faster this way.
Yeah, but doesn't it defeat the purpose if it makes you sick?
Ika-chan, you're actually worried about me!
I'm so happy!
Get off me!
But you don't even look fat at all.
Well you see...
Lately, I've picked up a habit of putting Ika-chan's picture on my table when I eat,
and looking at it really works up an appetite.
I'm not some side dish!
What exactly are you trying to do?
I'm just saying, if you're not careful,
you'll be gaining weight before you know it.
Have you weighed yourself lately?
Nope.
With my body type, I can eat and eat and not gain any...
What was that for?!
It hurt me more.
You don't look like you need to diet, Ika-chan.
You guys keep talking about diets and dieting,
but what does that even mean?
Losing weight is-
-the perennial concern of women!
That is what dieting is!
What she's trying to say is that no matter how much she wants to lose weight, she can't.
I guess it must be like invading is for me.
Let's both do our best together, Ika-chan!
Get off of me!
Ika-chan looks really skinny, but she's actually pretty strong.
Yeah, I guess so.
You're actually pretty heavy, aren't you?
I think I'm an average squid.
How many kilos is average?
Why don't we weigh her?
No way!
It says she's a hundred kilos.
But where is she carrying all that?
That scale's broken, you know.
I just used it and it gave me an unbelievable reading.
I see. I'm glad.
Even if it's broken, a hundred kilos is pretty extreme.
Just how messed up is this thing?
Well, that's strange.
Sis...?
I told you, it's broken!
I'm sorry for shouting.
She just didn't want to admit that she's put on weight.
Why did she get so mad about it?
So I guess it wasn't broken after all.
There's no reason to worry.
Even a girl as skinny as Ika Musume is a hundred kilos!
Really?
Ika Musume-chan?
What is it?
Why don't you weigh yourself again?
Since that other scale was broken.
All right.
Thirty kilos?
It went down!
But she was a hundred kilos the last time we weighed her.
Could this be broken too?
Didn't you just buy it?
By the way, how did you manage to lose seventy kilos so quickly?
I can change my weight around as necessary.
What do you mean?
A hundred kilos!
It went up again!
What's a hundred kilos?
No way!
You did something before you got on the scale, didn't you?
I guess I haven't told you yet.
I can change my weight by adjusting this bracelet.
Really?
I figured that bracelet did something a lot more important, since you never take it off.
This is very important for using my tentacles!
For your tentacles?
Too light
If my body is too light,
it'll move around when I try to pick up something heavy or make forceful movements.
When I'm outside,
Heavy
I usually make myself somewhat heavier so I can always use my tentacles.
If you can make your body lighter than normal,
what happens if you try to make it as light as possible?
You want me to make myself as light as possible?
You're lighter now?
Yup.
You can't even tell.
You can get that light?
That's quite an ability.
Someone that light could even fly!
You really want to do this, Ika Musume?
Land, sea and air.
A true invader conquers them all.
And I'm capable of that!
That's amazing, Ika-neechan!
I'm going to take over the sky!
A bird got her!
Ika-neechan!
Help me!
I thought I was bird food.
Are you okay?
Land, sea and air, huh? Looks like you fail on all three.
I'm kind of interested in that bracelet, though.
I can't let you have it!
I just want to look at it for a tiny bit!
No!
Just for a second!
