So, what do you think?
This is incredible!
I've been wanting one of these forever,
so I saved up my allowance and finally got one!
Takeru!
Huh?
Can I try?
I Think That's Radio-Controlled?!
Be careful, Ika-neechan.
Don't worry!
Sudden brake!
And now in reverse!
It's pretty cool that humans could invent something like this!
Watch where you're going!
Right back at you!
Geez...
Hey, Takeru.
Huh?
You're the one who saved up his allowance to get that toy.
It would suck for you if you let her play with it and she broke it.
As if!
You almost got into a crash just now.
Yeah, because this house is freaking small.
Wait a second.
Why don't we take it outside?
There's a lot more space outside.
We could make it do tons of amazing things!
Sorry, but it's too dangerous to take the car outside.
I'm only going to play with it in the house.
I want to try it outside.
Coming!
Hello, Aizawa residence.
Oh, Yuuta?
Yeah.
What?
You bought Hedgehog Cart 2?
Okay, I'll come over right now.
See you soon.
See you later!
I'm just going to... take it out... for a little bit.
Just for a little tiny drive.
That's right.
Just for a test!
This thing could go on forever!
Driving it outside is so much fun!
Hey, Alex, stop!
Alex!
Stop!
Wait...
Where did the car go?
Oh, yeah... I just need to make it move.
Found it!
Now I've really done it.
What am I going to do now?
Takeru, can you come here for a sec?
What is it?
Take this.
It's my R/C car's controller.
Now I'm going to be your radio-controlled squid!
Why don't you try moving me around?
Huh?
You want to play R/C Car?
All right!
Go!
Oh, yeah. You don't know.
Let's see... Forward!
Reverse!
Right!
Left!
Hmm... What should I do?
This is even lamer than I thought it would be.
All right, Ika Musume.
Turn on your lights.
Why the heck are you giving the commands?
Because an R/C car has to move no matter who's controlling it.
That's true.
Clean the bathroom.
The remote can't give that freaking command!
Since when can toy cars talk back?
I thought they just do what you tell them to.
I broke Takeru's car.
I guess this kind of punishment is only natural.
It was just a joke.
Hey, she said it was a joke, so don't worry about it.
That won't do.
What?
I see.
Ika-neechan?
Is there anything you want me to do for you, Takeru?
I'll do anything you want.
What's going on, all of a sudden?
Well I...
You see, I...
I broke your precious R/C car.
What?
I found this in my room.
I'm truly, truly sorry.
You were all worried about that?
Toys break all the time.
I'm not worried about it.
You shouldn't worry about it, either.
Takeru!
He's telling me to not worry about it, but it's a lie.
Of course it is, stupid.
I guess I have no choice.
A few days later...
This is even cooler than before!
Thank you so much, Eiko!
Don't thank me. Thank the Three Stooges.
I told them they could rent you for a day, in exchange.
It's a lot faster than my old one!
It's more responsive, too!
Huh?
I wonder what this does.
The Three Stooges are going to hear about this!
And...
It's done!
What are you doing?
Can't you tell?
Today's Tanabata, so we're preparing for that.
We have our guests write their wishes on slips of paper.
Tanabata?
Slips of paper?
You don't know about this?
These are the slips.
They say your wish will come true if you write it on here and hang it from a bamboo stalk.
Wow, for real?!
I want to do it too!
Isn't It Tanabata?!
I'm done!
I wanna be taller I wanna eat oceans of shrimp I wanna subdue mankind
One slip per person!
I wanna be stronger I wanna be taller I wanna eat oceans of shrimp I wanna subdue mankind and conquer the surface world
You can't cram a whole bunch of wishes onto one!
But I can't narrow my wishes down to just one!
It doesn't matter!
You can only have one wish.
Just take your time and think it over.
Looks like everyone's doing it.
I'm glad they're having fun.
I want to drink lots of juice -Sakamoto Yumi
I want to be a Masked Rider -Katou Takeshi
I want to find a good husband -Ogawa Akane
Kids are so cute.
That reminds me of when you were little, Eiko.
I hope Johnny breaks up with Depp.
No!
I guess I did that, huh?
You acted so feminine back then.
What's that supposed to mean?!
However,
Tanabata wishes aren't about whether they'll come true or not.
It's just fun to think about what we want to wish for.
Though for some people, that's quite hard.
Don't tell me you still haven't picked one!
So, did you already write yours?
I wrote it before work.
"I hope the squid person's invasion plans fail miserably."
That's so mean!
Where's the bamboo wish grantin' tree?
Yahoo!
And now...
...we're gonna write...
...our wishes!
Don't you guys have things to do?
This is a little breather while we work.
Miss!
Let's start with a...
...beer!
I thought you were working!
Anyway, you're scientists!
Are you even allowed to do stuff like asking favours of gods?
We keep work...
...and pleasure separate!
So what do you three stooges want?
Increased pay or what?
No, no.
Our wish...
...is to solve...
...every mystery of space and aliens!
That's too ambitious!
I guess we'll keep this restaurant's capacity in mind when we make our wish.
Man, you piss me off.
It's Tanabata!
Kiyomi-chan!
Is it okay if I write my wish?
Feel free!
Okay, then...
Wow, it's like you're not wavering for even a second!
I gotta write my wish quickly too,
if I don't want to miss out.
First, I need the strength to destroy Nagisa's wish.
I need to be so strong that Chizuru can never beat me again.
I bet I could complete the invasion if I was that strong.
I wanna
But I guess I also need to be taller.
I wanna
- invade
invade be taller
-
I wanna-
I also want to eat an ocean of shrimp!
You can't do anything on an empty stomach!
I knew it! I can't just make one wish!
Can you keep it down?!
What the heck am I going to do?
I can't believe you.
Hey, Kiyomi-chan.
Do you think you can teach this greedy girl how to write a wish?
She's practically paralysed with selfishness!
A wish is all about wanting something for yourself!
Yeah, but you take it too far!
Look at this! Maybe you can learn something from Kiyomi-chan.
"I hope we can all make it to the prefectural tournament together."
Um... wait... that's...
So? That's a wish Kiyomi wants for herself, too.
Stupid.
Eiko... please...
She wrote "we can all make it",
which is what makes it different from yours.
That's... um... excuse me...
Please... please... please...
Huh?
There's something on the back, too.
...my breasts to be bi...
The back is as black as the deep sea!
I really like it, Kiyomi!
Thanks, Ika-chan.
Have you already written your wish, Eiko?
Yup!
I bet you wrote something really shallow,
like "I want a lot of video games."
Yeah, right.
Here it is!
"I hope I pass this grade."
How sombre.
Well, it's getting pretty serious.
Why do people write their wishes on slips of paper during Tanabata?
I don't get it.
Well,
that's actually an old tale from China.
Orihime and Hikoboshi ignored their work and indulged in their love for each other.
Because of that, the Sky King got angry and separated them with a river.
Later, he felt the punishment was too harsh,
so he let them meet once a year on the seventh day of the seventh month.
But if it rained that day, the river would be too strong to cross,
so they both wished it wouldn't rain on that day,
and they wrote their wishes on pieces of paper.
Supposedly that's the story of Tanabata.
I wish you and I loved each other like Orihime and Hikoboshi did!
I guess that wouldn't be too bad.
Huh?
Then I'd only have to see you once a year.
Meanie!
I just can't decide which wish I want.
You really aren't going to get this done today.
Ika-neechan!
We're here to help with your plans.
You guys...
Look at this!
We hope that Ika-neechan's invasion succeeds
I wrote that I want to play more with you,
I want to play more with the invader Ika-neechan!
after your invasion is complete.
Takeru!
But what about your own wishes?
This is good enough for me.
Yeah.
Our biggest wish is for you to be happy.
Thank you.
I think your wishes will be heard.
Now I can rest easy and write that I want to eat an ocean of shrimp!
You're unbelievable.
I wanna eat oceans of shrimp
So you finally got it written down.
It only took a whole day of slacking off.
What's wrong?
I wish for world peace
I wish that war would disappear from this world
Here's a wish for world peace.
I wish everyone who's suffering in the world could be saved
World peace
I wish we lived in a peaceful world
Here too!
The more I look, the more wishes I see for world peace!
Our wishes for the invasion are going to get totally destroyed by these wishes!
Well, your wish was that you want to eat more shrimp.
This is terrible!
You know, Ika Musume,
happiness comes in all shapes and sizes,
I wish my grandpa's leg would get better
My family's good health
I wish my grandma would get out of hospital soon
I pray my son will come home safely
and there are some people who are happy just to see others being happy.
...to be healthy.
I'm sure all of that sounded nice,
but actually a lot of people's wishes are really selfish.
"I wish Ika Musume-chan will always work for us."
I wish Ika Musume-chan will always work for us. - Aizawa Chizuru
We wish to examine Ika Musume. - Top of the class at MIT: Harris, Clark, Martin
"We wish to examine Ika Musume."
I want to be united with Ika-chan. - Nagatsuki Sanae
"I want to be united with Ika-chan."
I want to know what's inside the squid hat. - Cindy
"I want to know what's inside the squid hat."
Ee-yahhh!
Huh?
Are you changing your wish?
I asked for too much.
There's only one thing this squid wants.
I wish to be safe. - Ika Musume
I finished all my summer homework!
Now I can do whatever I want!
A Little Playtime Alone?!
Hello?
Matsumoto here.
Yuuta?
Takeru?
Do you have time to hang out?
I wish I did!
My mom's being really annoying about my homework.
Sorry.
No problem.
Sorry, I've got cram school today.
Sorry...
Actually...
You have reached the answering machine of...
Just when I'm finally able to play all I want...
I don't know what to do all by myself.
Why don't you watch a little TV if you don't have anyone to play with?
Ika-neechan!
It's still morning, though.
There's nothing good on TV right now.
Don't be so sure.
It's a shogi show.
Do you know anything about shogi?
Ten seconds.
What was so funny about that?
His voice sounded so funny when he said "ten seconds"!
And we'll be seeing a tropical low pressure system in this area...
And if you act now, you'll also get...
Can't... freaking... breathe!
Is it that funny?
As long as you've got a TV,
you'll never be bored, even if you're all alone!
I envy you.
Hey, you guys.
Eiko-neechan!
Watching TV this early in the morning is pure poison for the body!
The weather's nice, so why don't you play outside?
I think you're right.
Want to come with us?
I've got some important stuff to get done.
Well, we're off.
Bye!
Okay.
Well, then.
Time to play that new game I just got!
It's hot today, again.
It's hard to figure out what to do when you're alone outside.
That's not true.
This wall thing is the ultimate partner!
Walls are totally great.
They're quiet as a clam,
but if you throw something at them, they send it right back.
Like this!
The only downside is that there's no good place to direct your anger.
Our yard's a little too small to play against the wall.
Then why don't we go to the park?
Park?
We're here!
But isn't a park exactly the kind of place where you play with a lot of people?
It doesn't have to be.
Look around, Takeru!
There's someone reading alone in the shade.
There's someone running.
There's someone staring off into the distance.
Everyone's having fun in their own way!
You're right.
But that person doesn't look like he's really having fun.
Is he crying?
Being an adult sure is hard.
What's wrong?
N-Nothing!
I was just thinking how great you are.
I always get so caught up in playing with my friends,
I didn't even know that there are all these other ways to have fun!
I guess I only started playing with others once I set foot on land.
But that means I've learned to play alone,
no matter the circumstances!
You could call me the Play Alone Squidmeister!
So stuff you can do alone in a park includes...
Hey, where are you going?
This is so much fun!
It's important to be able to have fun with anything.
Takeru!
I'm sure you could find a way to play alone, too, if you just look!
Yeah!
Then why don't we both find ways to play by ourselves?
Huh?
If you just depend on me all the time,
you'll never become a true Play Alone Squidmeister like me!
I see.
Okay.
I'm going to try, too.
And now for a little break.
Ow!
You little-!
How dare this lowly ant attack me?!
Wait a sec.
I bet this ant is going back to his secret base right now.
If I follow him, I can invade his base!
Ika-neechan looks like she's having fun.
What am I going to do?
I can't think of anything.
He's so slow.
Now he's trying to take food back with him,
and it's slowing him down even more.
Come on, Ant-taro! Hurry up.
You still have a long way to go.
Hey, those look like his friends.
We must be close to the secret base.
The invasion is about to begin.
Hey, what are you doing?
I thought all of you were friends!
Looks like Ant-taro has lost this one.
They look the same, but I guess they weren't friends after all.
There's some here, too!
You're right!
Here we go!
Those boys!
Now they're stuck!
Hey you!
Knock-it-off!
It's some weird girl!
Run for it!
I won't let you off the hook next time!
Look, Ant-taro.
Now you can go home.
I'm so glad.
You're not alone any more.
Ika-neechan!
Let's go home!
It's getting dark.
You're right.
Kids these days are horrible.
Aren't you the one who wanted to invade them first?
What did you do today, Takeru?
Ika-neechan was trying to teach me how to play by myself.
I was still thinking about how to do it when it got dark, though.
You've still got a lot to learn.
You've got a long way to go until you become a Play Alone Squidmeister.
Yeah.
You're really good at it, Ika-neechan.
Oh, stop.
Hey guys...
If you went together, why didn't you just play with each other?
I guess we could've done that.
