Feeling like capturing your heart... Gotta give it your best!
All right, Alex.
Just keep your eyes on this coin.
You are getting very sleepy.
That worked well!
Next time, I'll have to hypnotise Ika-chan!
I love you!
Oh, my!
Hang on, Ika-chan!
Squidn't That Hypnosis!?
Hello.
Is Ika-chan here?
She's cleaning up the bottles in the back.
Excuse me!
Maybe I should practice on someone else, before I use it on Ika-chan.
Yes?
Eiko, look at this!
What's that?
Is that one of those things for hypnosis?
You are getting very sleepy,
and you are now a crow.
As if that would even work that easily.
You are getting very sleepy,
I don't know what she's thinking,
but I'd feel bad telling her it's not working at all.
and you are now a crow.
I guess I'll just pretend it's working.
There!
It's done!
It worked!
Then again, maybe Eiko's just easily hypnotised...
A ramen and a beer, please.
Right away.
I've got to try it on someone else.
Nagisa-chan!
You are getting very sleepy.
You are getting very sleepy...
and you are now a monkey.
A monkey?
Not quite...
She's horrible!
I should try it on Chizuru-san, too.
Chizuru-san!
Please look at this coin.
You are getting very sleepy.
I wonder what she'll tell me to be?
And you are now a cute kitten!
It worked!
If it worked on Chizuru-san, this will definitely work.
That's the last of it.
Good job, Ika-neechan.
Look, I found some money!
That's so lucky.
What's wrong with everybody?
They're acting crazier than clownfishes!
Ika-chan!
Watch this coin!
What's up with you?
You are getting very sleepy.
Yes! It's work-
This is boring.
Will you just quit it?
Why isn't it working?
It worked with everyone else!
Sorry about that, Sanae.
I didn't want to hurt your feelings, so I pretended it worked.
Me, too.
Sorry!
But... I thought I had it down perfect.
Hypnotism isn't something an amateur can just learn right away.
Master it!
Hypnotism that
that
anyone can do!
Let's hypnotise the person you have in mind.
First, hang a coin from a string.
Master it!
Hypnotism that
that
anyone can do!
Master it!
Hypnotism that
that
anyone can do!
Master it!
Can I try to hypnotise someone, too?
I just said that hypnotism isn't...
Nagisa, I want you to look at this coin.
What's this?
I want to run away, but I can't.
You are getting very sleepy.
You are getting very sleepy...
And you are now a monkey!
Success!
What the hell did you do?
I just copied what Sanae did and it worked!
Can I try on you, too?
You are getting very sleepy.
You are getting very sleepy...
What's this?
My body's...
And you are now a crow!
This is a spectacular trick!
With this, I could easily complete my invasion!
You don't have to hypnotise me, you can do whatever you like to me!
You are get-
Ika-neechan!
Get off of me!
Get off... Huh?
That was too close.
However,
it looks like the day is mine.
Once I put you in a hypnotic trance,
this place will be mine to do with as I please!
Ika-neechan, you shouldn't.
I'm sorry, Takeru.
But I am an invader.
I must be ruthless, for all squidkind.
Ika-neechan...
You are getting very sleepy.
And you are now a cat!
Wait, it's not working?!
Why?
It's broken!
What's up with that coin, anyway?
It's not a normal coin!
There it is.
The three stooges!
That's the "coin for use against aliens that will always successfully hypnotise" that we developed.
But it looks like it also works on regular humans, so it's a failure.
I'm not an alien!
Huh? What am I doing up here?
The hypnosis has worn off!
Another rubbish invention from you three...
Please forgive us, we'll never do it again!
So, Ika Musume-chan.
What were you planning to do once you hypnotised me?
Well, just...
You know, I'd love to try hypnotising you, too.
Can I?
Excuse me...
I'll be right there!
I'd like a break.
Strange, but it feels like the hypnosis isn't working.
It's n-nothing...
I'm taking these out right now!
Now we can take a break.
We don't have to worry about her invading.
I wish I could tell her what to do...
I'm so sick of hypnosis!
Yay!
Shall We Join Tentacles!?
Please have a seat and...
I'm here to issue a challenge.
Not another headpiece.
What the hell is that?!
What sort of joke is it, to leave out my characteristic 10 tentacles?
I don't think that's the real problem here.
So what, you're going to make Ayumi-chan put that on again?
That won't be necessary.
This is already a Ika Musume.
Ew, that's so creepy!
Why did you make it do that?
That's not all she can do.
She can also cook, wait tables and greet guests.
Welcome.
And when she's done for the day, the tentacles retract inside,
so she doesn't take up much space.
What do you think, Ika Musume?
Can you keep up with that?
I can retract my tentacles too...
Who cares about that?!
I have to say, that's already well past "doll" stage.
Did you make that all by yourself?
Nope, I got a little help from them.
Them?
The three stooges?!
As fellow inventors, our souls resonated.
It seemed like fun, so we became his friend.
This is the worst team ever.
The power is amazing!
We've got it in the bag, with her!
Idiots!
How is this supposed to be like the real Ika Musume?
The real Ika Musume doesn't have missiles shooting out of her mouth!
I see, you mean we should fight her on her own turf!
You're perfectly right!
We've got to destroy the other side's pride!
Defeat Ika Musume!
Oh yes!
So we joined forces and perfected what you see before you.
What do you think about our dream collaboration?
These guys are dangerous!
They are?
I tried competing with you before, but I could not win.
So I want to try again,
and when I win, my Ika Musume will be the real Ika Musume!
I see...
The terms are the same as before.
We're going to see who can tear off the other's hat first.
Or you can give up and relinquish the title of the real Ika Musume.
Why can't we just refuse?!
Wait a sec.
If we let him win,
maybe we can avoid having these stupid competitions in the future.
That means you should lose, Ika Musume!
No way!
If my name was stolen by that thing,
I might as well be dead!
That's what bugs you the most?
Is everyone ready?
Ready... go!
Victory to the first tentacle!
It's fast!
Our tentacle counter is perfect!
There's more where that came from!
Take this as well!
Ika Musume!
It's strong...
But that thing is so creepy.
You're pretty good.
Is that all you've got?
It's totally pathetic.
She's being ridiculed by a doll?!
We're exploiting the original's psychological weakness.
You've got a big mouth for a doll!
You just haven't seen my real squid powers yet!
All spark and no sting.
The stereotypical small-fry character.
You talk about invading all the world,
but have you actually done that?
Why don't you just quit and go back to the sea?
We're back to grade school.
Don't underestimate me!
We thought of that, too!
Ours is superior in every way!
There's no way we'll lose!
Nagisa-chan, please take these out.
Sure!
Where are Eiko-san and the squid person?
What's this cord?
What's this?
Oh no!
Her output is falling!
Hurry and switch to the alternate power source!
Roger!
A bicycle generator.
That's not high tech at all!
I'm bushed...
Already?
Ika Musume, here's your chance!
I-I can't... anymore...
Not you, too?!
Here's our chance!
You can't run from her!
Now the title of "The Real Ika Musume" is ours!
Oh, no!
The cord...
...is too short!
Time to counter-attack!
I'm taking that hat!
Not so fast!
What?!
She just blew up!
Her head's gone!
She got away!
You've always got to have an ace up your sleeve.
The winner is Ika Musume!
Looks like I lost again.
But I won't lose next time.
We'll be back!
I guess I'll let you off easy today.
Don't ever come back!
Cans
Bottles
What are you doing?
I dropped it because you scared me!
You were going to put it in that one from the very start.
Yes.
I realised something.
There's something I'm seriously lacking as an invader.
And that is... an evil heart!
That's why you threw the bottle into the cans?
I Ink We're Alone Now!?
That's right!
That hardly counts as an evil act!
An invader shouldn't be kind or considerate.
So you're back to the usual winging-it campaign.
Ika-chan!
Let's cuddle!
How many times do I have to tell you not to lay your tentacles on me, you stalker?!
Wow, I feel like I was being really nasty back there.
Hurt me more, Ika-chan!
That had the opposite effect!
Curry's done.
Right.
Now it's perfect.
No, it's not!
What are you doing?
Give me that back!
You can't give this to a customer!
Actually, that's pretty good...
That is really good.
It makes me sad that I came up with this delicious topping.
Eat or be sad, pick one and stick with it.
That will be 750 yen.
Sorry, this is the smallest bill I have.
Then first I'll give you back 9000 yen.
And here's the rest of the change.
I mixed 2000 yen bills in there.
2000 yen bills, huh...
I guess it's my lucky day.
Chizuru-san looked at me.
The 2000 yen notes are having an effect already!
Thanks, Ika!
That happens now and then.
Next time, I'm going to give him all his change in coins!
You're going to piss Chizuru off if you keep this up.
Do you think I can be an invader if I'm scared of Chizuru?
Ika Musume-chan.
Do you have a moment?
Crap!
She's mad at me.
Could you run an errand for me?
Huh?
I need salt and pepper.
This is strange.
She saw what I did, so why didn't she get mad?
Shrimp flavoured potato chips!
No, I've got to get salt and pepper.
But someone truly evil would use this money to buy...
That'll be 386 yen for the two bags of shrimp chips.
There's no going back after this.
Oh, that can't be helped I guess.
You're not angry?
No.
Accidentally buying shrimp chips instead of salt and pepper happens all the time.
What's going on?
Why isn't Chizuru getting mad?
As an invader, I can't let something like this slow me down!
Hey, want to take a little break?
Sure!
I brought you shaved ice for a snack.
Wow, really?
This is some kind of plot again...
Thanks, Ika-neechan.
Then here you go!
I guess I don't know my own strength and the ice went flying right out of the cups!
Ika-neechan... behind you...
What's this?
That was...
Feels nice and cold.
Thank you, Ika Musume-chan.
This is more terrifying than if she got mad!
We're going shopping now.
Okay.
Hey, where's Eiko and Takeru?
It's just going to be me and you today.
I'm going to be alone with Chizuru!
If you see something you want, just put it in the basket.
Chizuru wouldn't say that.
This is some kind of trap!
First things first...
Want to get some shrimp chips?
I-I'm fine without them today!
That's unusual.
Are you feeling sick?
I'm fine!
Then want to go eat after we're done with the grocery shopping?
Yes, this is definitely weird.
Wait, is this going to be my last supper?!
You sure you only want shrimp casserole?
You could've gotten the shrimp curry too.
Ends this week!
Loaded with Shrimp Curry!
Summer Special Menu
It's over soon...
Ends this week!
Loaded with Shrimp Curry!
Summer Special Menu
Ends this week!
Loaded with Shrimp Curry!
Summer Special Menu
Ends this week!
Loaded with Shrimp Curry!
Ends this week!
She just said it'll be over soon...
Are you cold, Ika Musume-chan?
You sure?
I'm going to run away before she kills me!
The toilet's that way...
Here it is.
The shrimp casserole.
This is the last time I have shrimp.
If she's going to kill me anyway,
I might as well enjoy this last meal to the fullest.
Then I'll start...
So... Ika Musume-chan...
There's something I wanted to ask you.
Here it comes!
Are you... scared of me?
I'm so sorry!
I'll never do anything bad again!
What are you talking about?
Huh?
I was just thinking that you and I are almost never alone together.
Really?
I was feeling a little jealous of Eiko and Takeru.
I mean,
you're always playing with Takeru outside.
And you're always playing video games with Eiko.
So I thought maybe if I made the effort to be alone with you,
we could become good friends, too.
If that's what it is, then let's talk!
Really?
I'm glad!
What do you like to do most in the world?
Hmm... well, I think I'm happiest when I'm working in the restaurant.
Wow, she's not scary at all.
Now the oceans between us aren't so big.
We're back!
Oh. Ika Musume was with you...
Yeah, we talked about all sorts of stuff.
I had the wrong impression of Chizuru all this time.
Oh, come on!
I saw that she is moved by the same things humans are moved by...
she has the same dreams humans have...
you could say she even has a human side!
I am... human.
See, we can joke about things like this now!
I think we should spend a little more time talking together, Ika Musume-chan.
Oh? About what?
