She came here from far away to find a friend.
The message, broadcast in different languages, has been confirmed to be the same.
I don't know anything at the moment.
OK, Jack.
I'll contact you if I find anything.
A few days ago, the same message was recieved on a JSDF secure digital line...
...prompting the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications, together with the ITUR (International Telecommunication Union),
to launch an investigation into the source of the transmission.
Mysterious message !!
「Let's go play」
All right, let them go.
The message continuously repeats the sentence: "Let's go play!"
The Browning is not as useful as you would think.
If you grab it this way, you can't fire right away.
We've started taking fire from the unknown vessel.
Fire a warning shot.
Shoot over the vessel with the 20mm machine gun.
They're firing rockets!
I'm going out.
Hold on, Momiji.
People are going to die.
People will die if you go out there.
Not the same people.

S1 Equipment.
The cargo is weapons and illegal drugs.
There are no passengers, just the crew.
It's a sabotage ship.
Capture and take control of the vessel.
Roger.
You should've said that earlier.
K Equipment.
There's nowhere to run. Surrender.
It's useless. Stop it!
Apport!
I told you it was useless.
What was that?
UFO?
That's impossible.
No!
The cat that came to Earth
There are a lot of planes today.
Hey! Having fun, Kio?
Yuuichi-ojisan.
Here.
Thanks.
I don't think it's time to be having fun. We're supposed to be mourning.
That's why we need to have fun.
If we're too sad, he won't be able to move on to the next world.
Now, let's toast to our fifth generation grandfather!
I'm still a minor.
How is high school, Kio? Gotten used to it yet?
Somehow...
Got a girlfriend?
It's still too early for that.
That's not good.
When you're older you can do perverted things,
but getting excited about holding hands with a girl?
That's something you can only enjoy now.
Oji-san!
If you take too long, you'll miss out.
What about her?
She has a good figure, she's cute, and she's got those ears too.
Thank you! I'm full!
Ears?
A tail?
Hey you, young lady, how about a drink?
Yes, please. I'll take one.
What are you doing, Yuuichi-ojisan?
Minors can't drink!
I'm sorry he is giving you such a hard time.
No, no. It's fine.
Everything is really delicious.
Let's see... What is this called again?
That's tanmo dengaku.
Yeah! The dengaku's really good.
There are the kombu rolls too! And rafutei!
[Kombu rolls: Vegetables rolled with seaweed. ] [ Rafutei: Soba noodles in marinated pork belly.]
They're so soft and tender...
It's really good!
Could this be your first time having Okinawan cuisine?
Yes! I haven't had meat in a while, so I'm glad I managed to get some.
It's been a while?
I forgot to load food on my ship, and for a while I thought I was stranded.
Then, a cat named Aura-san told me there were some nice people here.
Everyone has really helped me out.
Aura? You mean my cat?
I was just wondering where Aura went, too.
My name is Eris.
Nice to meet you. I'm Ki-
What's the matter?
No... It's nothing...
Shit...
Uh?
What was I doing?
I was up all night, and I went to mourn Grandfather's death.
Yuuichi-ojisan was there...
There was a girl with cat ears and a tail...
Shit! Did I completely black out?
Whatever, I'm on summer break anyway...
O-Ow...
Y-You are...
Ow.
My, did you hit your head?
Wait a moment...
My... I should, just in case...
What? The pain is gone.
You might've had a brain hemorrhage , so I healed it.
Th-Thanks.
What's the matter?
You should button up your shirt-
Wait, why are you in my bed?
Your uncle, Yuuichi-san, told me to sleep anywhere I wanted...
Kio-kun!
Manami-chan?
Do you have a visitor?
Ho-Hold on a moment!
This is bad. If anyone sees her, everyone at school will hear about it.
I have to somehow get her out.
H-Hey, good morning, Manami-chan.
Good morning, Kio-chi.
Where's the girl you came home with last night?
H-How could you know?
I live next door. I can see everything you do.
If you want, I can even tell you where you hide your porn magazines.
So, what's she like?
Introduce her to me.
She's a bit different...
Oh! I get it now!
Well, I guess that's how it is...
I see, I see. Good for you, Kio-chi.
Manami-san, what are you getting at?
Fine. I understand.
It's something you can't talk about with others.
It was a hot, passionate, "très bien, c'est si bon" evening.
And she's still sleeping, so you're going to be nice and bring her morning coffee.
What's the matter?
Why are you so vulgar?
That's rude! Who's the vulgar one after what happened last night...
I told you, that's not what happen-
Sorry for interrupting.
Wh-What are those?
Wh-What are you doing?
Hurry up and get dressed.
I left my suit in the bathroom; do you mind if I go get it?
Well, sure...
Pervert.
I said, nothing happened!
And just how is that?
I don't care how much you are into games and manga,
if you force a foreigner to cosplay and "très bien c'est si bon" all night, you're a total pervert.
I think that's all in your head.
Then, explain to me why a girl wearing cat ears is walking around your house naked!
What you said, is it true?
Itokazu-sensei, why are you here?
I came to talk to you about the movie club trip.
Regardless, Kakazu-kun, can you explain exactly what happened?
I-I'm telling you Manami-chan is off in her own worl-
Excuse me, is this fine?
Illegal~
Kakazu-kun, you are a high school student! I can't believe you're doing something like this.
If you get into this now, you'll have trouble finding a fitting match in the future!
I-I'm trying to tell you! That's not what's going on.
She's always had the ears and tail.
You must think your elders are idiots!
It might be hard for you, but don't run from reality.
This is real.
If you don't believe me...
...try it out!
See, I told you they were real.
That tickles!
What on earth are you?
Yeah, I'm an alien!
I'm here on Earth to find something while having lots of fun!
An alien?
Don't be ridiculous!
Where in the universe would there be an alien like that?
You wouldn't even find an alien that speaks our language and looks like a human in some second-rate space opera!
We were surprised too!
When we first found you, we thought it was some kind of joke.
Don't take us for idiots!
I can't accept that!
Show me proof that you're an alien!
Proof!
You want proof?
That's a good point...
What's the matter, Rulos?
There's an emergency!
Our ship has been discovered.
I thought we camouflaged it.
Indeed, but it wasn't active camouflage...
Then, what is the situation?
The ship is surrounded by some sort of mesh and is being pulled toward the surface.
You mean... that?
It is believed that this artificial metal structure may be some sort of alien craft.
Oh, that's my ship...
We are investigating if it has any connection with the "Let's go play!" message.
This sucks... I guess we'll have to do something about it.
I think so as well.
Then, reactivate. Initiate program A-24 and HE-11.
Roger that.
What was that?
My ship's navigation system.
We mean you no harm, but we don't want to be captured.
So, we'll be leaving now.
Please, do not come looking for us.
I-I'll be going home.
I don't feel well.
I think I'll go home as well.
So then, why did you come to Earth?
To invade?
No way! I came to make friends.
If we invaded, my race and I would be expelled from the Galactic Federation of Intelligent Life.
What's that?
It's a special organization led by the Orsonians, a race that has evolved into pure thought.
They're pretty scary.
Then... what kind of alien are you?
We call our planet Earth, so we're Earthlings...
But that could get complicated really fast, so we decided to call it Catia.
Really?
This has abura miso in it! It's delicious!
How is it made?
You boil pork ribs, then you finely chop them up...
Add mirin and sake, and cook them in oil.
Hi. What's going on, Manami?
I've got information for you.
Oh great! What have you learned?
There's just one condition...
Put me on this case.
It's too early to insert you in the middle of the action.
Please! It'll be easier to enter the Company if I've already been on a mission.
I guess I have no choice. I'll put in a special request, to help in your training.
Thanks, Jack. Make sure it's in your report.
So, what information do you have?
I'm sending you an image.
I bet this is who you were talking about.
Wow, jackpot!
You nailed it.
Good morning, Captain.
Good morning, HAL.
Hello, this is Ender.
Hello, Ender-san.
This is Kerberos.
Did you watch the TV?
I did.
Something else would've been more exciting.
Agreed.
On that subject, I ran into the alien.
Did you speak with it?
How did it go?
Did you really?
Do the aliens look as predicted?
Wow!
She did, and spoke Japanese.
That's outrageous.
Wow.
How insulting, for our first contact to be like this!
This is a grave situation.
We must take immediate action.
But, I can't do anything by myself.
We'll send you manpower. We have people in the navy and air forces.
Thank you.
Good luck, Ender-san.
Don't lose, Ender-san.
Everything is for a brilliant contact.
Brilliant contact!
I'm so full! And I can just lie around the house!
So wonderful!
Aura-san was right.
They fed me right away, and let me dance and sing with them too!
You are nice people indeed.
Thank you.
I should be the one thanking you.
Now that you mention it, you're right.
So, what are your plans for today?
Well, I don't really have anything planned.
I know you just got here, but can you watch the house for me?
All you have to do is stay here.
You wouldn't have to answer the phone or the door if someone comes.
That doesn't really sound like watching the house.
Well it's a little difficult with those ears and tail.
I see, I am an alien after all...
Relax. You can eat anything in the refrigerator.
Yes! I'll do that!
I wonder what I should tell Itokazu-sensei about Eris...
I should just explain everything.
Hello.
Ah, hello Futaba-san.
Ah, yeah... Thanks for the DVDs you lent me.
How... were they?
Koyaanisqatsi had some interesting scenes.
[Koyaanisqatsi is an abstract 1982 film directed by Godfrey Reggio.]
[Gaia Symphony is a 1992 TV show directed by Jin Tatsumura, and revolves around the Gaia hypothesis.]
Gaia Symphony was a surprise though.
Any others you want to watch?
Sure.
Do you have any more films by the director of Daiyukai?
[Daiyukai: Rainbow Kids, a 1990 japanese film directed by Kihachi Okamoto]
[Dokuritsu Gurentai: A 1959 film, also directed by Kihachi Okamoto]
I'll bring you Dokuritsu Gurentai next.
Yup!
Um...
Kakazu-kun?
What is it, Futaba-san?
Do you have some time today?
I just got my allowance, so I was wondering if you wanted to go rent some DVDs together.
Hey, Aoi-chan is it?
Oh, Endou-ojisan.
I'm on my way to your house.
Want a ride?
I-It's fine by me. We can go rent DVDs another time.
Yeah, sorry...
How about the day after tomorrow?
Sure, that's fine.
Well then, later.
Yeah, later.
Did I get in the way?
I believe it's a violation of the contract if you come here.
I have some urgent work.
I really didn't want to come here either.
But I did get to see something unusual.
Are you serious about him? Or just messing around?
I wonder what his expression would be if you showed him what you are really like.
How about finding out?
I don't care. I'm transferring anyway.
But...
I will have to kill you first.
Not because you interfered with my mission or anything...
I'll kill you because I feel like it.
S-Stop it! If you do that the car will...
And I won't even get hurt.
I'm sure you already know, but it's because I'm Evil Momiji.
How about adding another episode to the legend?
S-Stop it...
It was a joke.
What's the current job?
Th-The usual.
We need you to take out an illegal immigrant, and silence the one aiding it.
The target is Class A+.
We don't care how, get it done.
How long do I have?
It needs to be quick.
We'd like to avoid the target's existence becoming public knowledge.
We're aware other illegal organizations are taking action as well.
We want to avoid any conflict.
Understand? This is just a normal mission. Please don't kill me, Momiji.
Why?
Why does it have to be you, Kakazu-kun?
