I'd like you to take another look...
Do you see it now?
TV: Special Report on Ghosts
This family's happy summer memories have been ruined...
...by this mysterious figure.
Nee-chan, let's change the channel.
I won't be able to go to the bathroom!
You've gotta watch shows about ghost sightings in the summer.
You can get scared without actually having to be there.
What are ghosts?
Ghosts are spirits of dead people who couldn't let go of life and wander around.
Usually you can't see them.
I don't understand why you should be scared of something you usually can't squidly see.
They're scary because you can't see them even though they're there!
That's so unscientific.
Who are you to talk?!
Then what about that picture?
It appears as if he is simply passing through,
They simply overlaid his image onto the picture.
However...
I guess they do stuff like that, but-
It's just your imagination! I won't squidly believe it until I see it!
Hm, I have a powerful urge to show Ika Musume a ghost and freak her out.
Aren't you a fraidy-squid?
So, we're going to have a test of courage!
Yeah!
Why the squid do I have to be here, too?
Consider it experiencing a "Fun Japanese Tradition."
Why do I have to be here?
You're the bodyguard.
I heard Chizuru-san would be here as well.
Ah... She said that something urgent came up...
...I think.
I'll protect you if something happens, Ika-chan!
I'm scared!
Don't worry, Ika-chan!
No reaction?!
This place is really bad. Let's go home.
You shouldn't be scared!
You're supposed to be our bodyguard! Pull yourself together!
No one said anything about non-human foes!
And Chizuru-san isn't here-
Oh, Sis...
Bring it on, ghosts!
Oh, I guess it was just a fallen samurai's ghost.
Cut it out!
When is the fun part going to start?
Um, it's not really "fun"... Aren't you scared, Ika-chan?
Of what?
It's just dark. What's so scary about that?
This is a cemetery. This is where dead people rest.
Aren't sharks and killer whales scarier than dead people?
You guys are squidding weird.
Looks like this is going to be a big failure.
Yeah, let's just go already!
We're not going home!
Huh?
I won't go home until that happens.
As if.
I anticipated that this wouldn't scare her.
That means I have to take matters into my own hands.
Your girly scream scared me!
You threw a stone, didn't you?! Cut it out!
You cut it out! You ruined my plan!
You chicken of a life saver!
What did you say?
I called you a chicken!
This is getting ugly. Hey, wait.
Where is Ika Musume?
Oh, yeah...
I guess she went ahead.
Where did everybody go?
I don't know how to get back.
It can't be helped. I'll use my squid glow.
Ika Musume has the abilities of a firefly squid.
All right. They should be able to spot me from tentacles of metres away.
Ika-neechan!
I don't see her anywhere.
What is she doing?
I'm sure she went home. We should go, too.
Hey, isn't that...
Oh, there they are.
What?
No!
It's coming this way!
It's a disembodied soul!
It's real!
What They See
Reality
Help!
Stay away!
Hey, why are you running away?
No! It's a fallen samurai! It's Genji's fallen samurai!
No!
Wait a squid!
Maybe they still haven't noticed me yet.
Then...
It's flashing now!
It's so bright!
They'll see me if I flash.
It's a death ray! It's a Genji firefly! We'll be cursed!
Humans are all so heartless.
I can't get back to the sea by myself.
What the squid do you want? I don't have time for this.
Huh?
I can't understand what the squid you're saying! Speak clearly!
Hey, stop it!
Where are you taking me?
Hey!
Untentacle me already!
I recognise this path.
Could it be you were trying to show me the way?
I guess sometimes humans really can be squidly nice.
Lemon House
by the Sea
I can't believe you squidding abandoned me.
Sorry, sorry. We had no choice.
I took a picture, but what should I do with it?
This is definitely a ghost.
Shouldn't we hold a service for it?
Yeah...
This is pretty serious...
There's no way that ghosts squidly exist.
It's been a while since I came to the surface.
I should have conquered about half the planet by now, but instead...
Is my beer coming?
Yes! Right away!
What the squid am I doing here?
It's your fault for breaking the wall of our store.
It's already fixed!
You have to work off the repair bill.
How many tides will that take?
About five or six years?
Just how low is my wage, anyway?!
Eiko-neechan, can I borrow Ika-neechan?
Borrow?
Don't break her.
What am I, a toy?!
You're the squid's sworn enemy, aren't you?
Watch out so Takeru doesn't drown.
You've gotta play in the sea once in a while.
The repair bill...
Takeru, let's swim out farther.
Ah, sure.
Ika-neechan, it's dangerous to go out too far.
It's pretty deep here, huh?
Where? This is still really shallow for me.
Your feet can reach the ground?
My tentacles can.
You have it good. You can live on land and in the sea.
Living in the sea sounds like fun.
It's not all fun.
Even I had my share of trouble when I lived in the sea.
Geso!
Phytoplankton
It's paradise while you're eating,
Zooplankton Shrimp
Squid
Shark/ Killer Whale
but make just one mistake,
Geso!
and you'll know the terror of being eaten in return!
Shouldn't mastering your own habitat come before conquering mankind?
Well, those guys wouldn't be here where it's shallow, so no worr-
K-Killer whale?!
What's the matter?
Why is the squid's natural enemy in such shallow water?!
And how can a mere child ride it so well?
It's not getting angry even though they're that squidding rough...
It must be trained quite well.
Trained?
The humans can't be underestimated.
Wha-What is this?!
They're all over the place!
What Ika Musume Sees
Reality
A-At this rate...
Geso!
We have to go back before they attack!
They?
Let's squidaddle!
I'm coming!
Are you okay?
Yeah.
It doesn't look like he swallowed any water.
How could you let that happen?
Geez, can't you even babysit one kid?
Well, he's fine.
Goro-san, thank you for saving him.
It was nothing! That's my duty as a life saver!
Hey, teach me how to swim.
I'll get made fun of if I don't know how to swim,
when I live by the water.
Yeah, true. Can you teach him?
I'm busy right now. Maybe next time.
I'd be ever so grateful.
Yes! I'd love to!
All right. Let's start practising!
Yay!
Let's go, Takeru-kun.
Yeah!
He's such a pushover.
Wait just a squid!
Ika-neechan?
I know how to get away from them.
Huh?
Leave it to me!
All right. That was pretty long. Good job.
That wasn't even a minute.
You won't be able to get away from them like that.
It's fine. He's just starting.
I'll show you the proper way to do it.
I'll get you!
Wait!
Wait, you.
That's it. Relax a bit more.
You've got some nerve, ignoring me like that!
Oh, you wanted a reaction from us?
All right. Next, try breathing with a 1-2-3 beat.
Hey, stop getting in the way!
Don't bother with this roundabout way,
I'll teach you a much easier way to swim.
Really?
Like what?
You start like this...
She didn't use her arms or legs at all!
See, it's easy. You keep squidding like that and get away from them.
Are you stupid?
I can't learn from you if you don't use your arms and legs.
Arms and legs are unnecessary.
She doesn't get it!
Humans swim with nothing but those unnecessary arms and legs.
Being able to swim with ten ultra-powerful tentacles is nothing to brag about.
If you want something to brag about,
try swimming with nothing but your arms and legs!
A worthy challenge!
I'll show you what the Messenger from the Sea can do!
Lame.
Humans being able to swim without tentacles is what's really weird!
The mere fact that humans are swimming in the water is not squidding right!
What's she talking about?
I'll show them!
Th-They're here again!
This time, there's even a shark.
A crocodile? Why the squid is there a crocodile in the ocean?!
What is that huge yellow fish? It's the first time I've squidly seen that!
Th-This is hell...
What Ika Musume Sees
What... is she doing?
Hm. Oh, maybe she wants...
If I swim underwater, I can get home without being seen.
A nice idea, if I do say so myself.
I'll be safe up here with the landlubbers.
Ika-neechan, I rented one.
What Ika Musume Sees
It's not fair! They're coming from the mainland.
Huh? Didn't you want to ride it?
Flotation device rental
Shark
Killer Whale
Banana
It's fun!
These are all floats?
Why the squid didn't you tell me before?!
I'm sorry.
Seriously, open your eyes!
I love the sea.
I love the waves.
I really love surfing.
My name is Saito Nagisa.
Aren't you a new squid-recruit?
Good morning. I'll be working here starting today.
I'm Aizawa Chizuru.
Aizawa Eiko. Nice to meet you.
You too.
I'm surprised you came here instead of the convenience store, considering the pay is low and it's so hot.
It's because I can work and also surf here.
Oh, surfing huh? So you surf? That's cool.
Oh, it's nothing.
By the way, where is Ika Musume-chan?
Oh yeah.
Hey, Ika Musume, you should say hello too.
Ika Musume?
I'm Ika Musume, a messenger from the sea!
W-What is this creature?! It's not human!
Oh, my.
That's a new reaction!
So, should I call the police or the health care service?
Ah, wait, wait!
Despite her appearance, she's harmless! Nothing to worry about!
She looks really dangerous.
Well, the dangers are basically limited to punching through walls and tying the people around her up.
That's way worse than I thought!
I can also spit squid ink.
Th-This is what I wanted!
This is the true squid feeling I've been craving all this time!
Cowering in fear is how people should react to an invader like me!
Knock it off!
Um...
Aren't you two scared at all?
Scared?
I was pretty shocked when she punched through the wall with her tentacles.
But other than that...
I was just angry that she broke it,
and this is how it's been since.
Squid ink is delicious and harmless.
Bottle: Ika Musume's Ink
You're bottling it?
You two should be more conscious of the dangers.
It should be treated as a serious issue when such a fearsome creature appears on land!
If you underestimate it, you'll be sure to regret it!
It looks like that fearsome creature has taken a liking to you.
I think you're overreacting a little, Nagisa-chan.
That's not-
Well, you'll see after you start working here.
Draft beer.
Me too.
Three beers, then.
Three draft beers, on the squiddle.
Got it.
Ika-chan!
Let go!
Here's your shrimp fried rice.
Thanks.
Enjoy.
Wait. What's with this plain fried rice?
What are you talking about?
You bottom-feeder, you ate them.
That's slander!
Then what's that on your face?
It's wiggly.
Pull it!
Let's tie it!
Those are not toys!
The world is messed up.
This makes it seem like I'm an oddball, the only one who's afraid.
Oh, I see.
Everybody here is messed up,
so they can't understand what's going on.
If things are left like this, this creature will pass for normal.
But I wish I didn't have to hang out with these people any more...
Nagisa-chan?
Uh... Yes?
What do you want to do about the job?
You can still change your mind if you don't like this job.
Huh?
That's right. I mustn't falter now!
I'll stick with it!
Great!
For mankind!
Mankind?
I have to be an example of normalcy!
She's weird.
She's funny.
She's wonderful!
This Nagisa human...
She's like a shooting star of hope in the darkness of space!
Yes, if more people come to think like her, the world will be squidly ideal!
I'm still uncomfortable around her.
You'll get used to her in no time.
That's true. It's very possible that she will get used to my squidness.
I have to keep just enough pressure on so she won't quit.
Oh, Nagisa...
It looks like you are only scared of my physical appearance,
but that's no good for me.
You see, I came to the surface in order to squidly conquer the world.
No way... That's terrible!
Yay, that's the reaction I was hoping for!
What you're feeling is only a fraction of the fear-
Stop showing off!
Geso.
Nagisa-chan, Nagisa-chan.
Just recently, she saw a killer whale float, got scared and started crying.
You don't need to squidly tell her that!
And on top of that, she passed out and then-
Hey! Hey! Enough, get back to work!
She looks like she's wavering a bit.
At this rate, she won't believe that I'm a invader.
I'll have to show her something convincing!
Where are you going?
Ah... to think about something.
No... to do some prep work for my squid-vasion!
Oh, okay.
Bye. Take care!
It looks like Ika Musume desperately wants to scare Nagisa-chan.
I suppose she's the first to be afraid of her.
Well, I can sort of understand.
We can't let that drive Nagisa-chan away.
What can we do to allay her fear?
I know.
Nagisa-chan.
Yes?
Have you ever fished for squid?
Uh, no, I haven't.
Hold this.
Is this a fishing pole?
Are we blowing off work to go down to the water?
No, right here's fine. You'll see something interesting.
Squid fishing in here?
Wait, is this for that squid person?
No way. She came here to conquer mankind, she won't fall for-
I-I've squiddly hit rock bottom.
You see now, right?
She's got a big mouth, but she really is nothing more than a squid.
What are you talking about?
Huh?
It's true that her behaviour makes her look a little stupid.
However, that doesn't change the fact that she has a dangerous agenda...
...of "conquering mankind," and that she has these dangerous tentacle weapons!
She is a fearsome creature!
Even after seeing me disgrace myself,
she still regards me as being fearsome.
Nagisa might be the only person in the whole squidly world who understands me!
Nagisa!
Thank you so squidding much!
Get away from me!
Are you okay?
Why are you laughing when she hates you?
It's fine. It's just fine.
