Invade! Capture! Plan! Success! Invade! Capture! Ika Musume Kyun!~
Everyone at work is very nice.
Well, except for one.
I'm afraid of Ika Musume. My name is Saito Nagisa.
Focus your tentacles on her!
Thanks for your hard work.
I was lucky that the squid person wasn't here today.
It would be nice if it could be like this all the time.
Oh, yeah. Nagisa-chan, are you free after this?
You should come over for dinner.
Really, are you sure?
We haven't thrown you a welcome party yet,
so we were thinking about how to do that.
Well, the squid person isn't here...
Thank you. I'd be very happy to join you!
I'm home. I brought Nagisa-chan with me.
Welcome.
Good evening. Sorry for intruding.
Would you mind waiting over there until everything's ready?
This way, this way!
Why is the squid person here?!
Could this house be...
Nagisa, you must be thinking, "Why is the invader here?!"
"She must be plotting something evil!"
How did you know?!
Ika-neechan came here early to help with the welcome party's preparations.
Darn you, Takeru. That was unnecessary.
I'll go get some drinks!
Um, so that's why you weren't at work today?
Isn't it obvious that that's just an excuse?
Actually, I was preparing everything for my exquisite plan that I've been perfecting until now.
What?! A perfect plan?!
That's squidding right.
I will put it into motion after you go home.
What are you planning to do?
Oops, I can't tell you any more.
Hey, we're ready!
Oh, I couldn't wait much longer!
Look at her face. But I won't be deceived.
Nagisa-chan, I look forward to our continued work together.
Hear hear!
I look forward to working with you, too.
Don't hold back. Eat lots, okay?
Chizuru-neechan's croquettes are really yummy.
Such a happy family...
I can't let this be destroyed at the hands of the squid person!
What's wrong, Nagisa-chan?
You look so serious.
The toilet's that way.
Please let me stay over tonight!
Huh? Tonight? That's kind of sudden.
Well, it's okay with me.
I'm going to protect everyone!
Good night.
Good squidly night.
I have to stay up and see what she's plotting.
Geso...
Already?! No, this might be part of her plan.
I mustn't let my guard down.
Geso...
I waited three hours.
The squid person is finally making her move.
I have to save her!
A game...
Good morning.
Huh? Nagisa-chan, you didn't get enough sleep?
I guess with Ika Musume in the room, you couldn't really relax, huh?
Why are you sleepy, too?
You're just imagining that.
Isn't it because you were gaming?
You!
I told you not to play games at night!
How the squid did you find out?
Nagisa, that was quite bold of you to uncover my secret!
I'll get my revenge. "Squid pro quo."
Stop worrying about Nagisa-chan and go wash your face.
Yeah, why does she always pay so much attention to me?
Last time, too...
Nagisa is my prey!
As far as I can tell, nobody is afraid of the squid person.
You could even go so far as to say they're friends.
If this is how the squid person does things,
I'm unnecessary, since I don't fit the mould!
No, actually I'm a danger to the squid person.
That she's paying so much attention to me means...
...I'm being targeted!
If I'm dead, I won't be able to do anything.
I'll pretend that I'm not afraid for a while.
If you don't work hard, I'll cut you to pieces with my tentacles!
Hey, Ika Musume!
Oh, please stop the bad jokes, Ika Musume-senpai.
I-Ika Musume-senpai?
Uh, you aren't afraid of her anymore?
Yeah, yeah, it's pointless to act tough.
I'm not acting tough.
Don't worry. I'm not afraid anymore.
I see: you've finally overcome it.
Well, then. Get along, you two.
I wonder if I fooled them.
Hey, wait! Ika Musume!
Was it such a big shock that Nagisa isn't scared any more?
I don't think it's so bad to have an invader who's accepted by everybody.
You like Nagisa-chan, right?
Don't you think that being avoided by someone you like is really sad?
Sad... It might be.
All right.
You can get along with Nagisa-chan, right?
Then let's go back!
I'm sorry for scaring you until now.
Let's shake tentacles and be friendly to each other from now on!
I'm sorry! I really can't do it!
I really was still afraid of you! Please forgive me!
What the squid am I supposed to do?
Stay the same, I guess?
Lemon House
by the Sea
It's just a trip to the lab. Why not?!
No squidding way!
I just want to look at your insides a bit.
Do you realise how scary that sounds?
It's a new experience!
Let's go!
I don't need such an experience!
Who is she?
I'm a professional in anti-alien countermeasures, Cindy Campbell.
Aliens?
I'm going to take you to my lab today!
Wait!
This country is doomed.
Feeling inkuisitive?
I am Ika Musume, the messenger from the sea.
I have to garner more respect as the messenger.
Ika-neechan, let's play!
I'm not Ika-neechan. As of today, you shall call me Queen Ika.
Takeru, you're my undersquid from now on.
Don't you know your place?
I don't quite get it, but I guess I'll play along.
My apologies. Your wish is my command, my Queen.
That's my Takeru, a man who gets it.
Ika-neech- I mean, Your Highness?
What is it?
Are there more undersquids besides me?
Yes!
Hey, Goro. How about handing that seat over to me?
Huh? Obviously, I can't.
Secret photos of Chizuru.
How did you...?!
I knew it.
I bet they're hidden in the clos-
Wait, wait! Don't say anything more! I got it, I got it!
Don't worry about it.
Goro-niichan's kinda timid today...
My next undersquid's going to be Nagisa. And then...
I will be one!
You're still here?
Yes, my Queen.
From this moment on, I will be your loyal servant!
If you insist, I suppose I can make you my undersquid.
In return, please promise me one thing.
What is it?
Come to my lab.
Queen
Same as before
Queen
Same as before
Queen
Same as before
All right.
As of now, you're my undersquid.
Thank you very much, Your Highness.
Now, get on your knees and lick my feet.
Huh?
As you wish.
Hey, Ika Musume!
So this is where you're goofing off.
What an impertinent girl. Seize her!
Huh?
Hey, wh-what are you doing?
Please don't take it personally, Aizawa-san.
She's my undersquid.
Undersquid? What is that?
This is payback for your constant aggressions!
Stop, I can't breath! Not there!
If you want me to stop, become my undersquid.
You idiot! Think about it!
If there are no humans left who are your equal, you'll really be alone!
My chance!
Ow. That hurt!
I don't have time to play along with your foolishness.
We're going back to work.
Wait! What about the promise?
Promise?
I didn't think that I'd really have to squidding go.
You have to keep your promises.
You can see it now.
Wow, that's quite impressive.
You haven't seen anything yet.
What the heck is this?
This is inkredible.
Yeah, it's amazing.
Cindy, is that the Squidian?
I'm not a Squidian.
Can you step in here for a second?
I was almost smoked in there!
That's dangerous!
What now?
Can I test it? It's an energy weapon for use against aliens.
Help me!
Stop it, you two.
I promised that I would just show her around today.
How sad.
But we can still inspect her, right?
What is it with these people?
Let me introduce you.
Harris leads the experiments.
Clark is the head inventor.
Martin is head of research.
And I lead the investigation.
We're all top graduates from MIT, the best alien researchers.
Wait. So that's all the researchers?
Quality over quantity.
So you must have all sorts of secret information about aliens.
We will now.
Why the squid are you looking at me?
We have lots of things we'd like to do,
but no aliens ever showed up, so we ended up overdoing the prep work.
While creating a device that can put aliens to sleep,
we stumbled upon a cure for cancer.
And an energy weapon that can shrink and expand matter.
While researching how to communicate with the aliens,
we stumbled upon a method that allows you to instantly learn all the languages of the world.
What a waste of talent.
Wouldn't it be more meaningful to pursue other careers when you're all so smart?
You don't understand, do you, young ladies?
We don't need anything else as long as we can study aliens.
What we desire is not money, but romance.
So please, pretend to be an alien and let us study you!
So you have romance, but no pride?!
They're tired of waiting, too.
No matter what your circumstances are, I won't be an alien!
I'm proud to be a squid!
Then let's do it this way.
Please repeat the following words ten times.
"You are an alien."
Go!
You are an alien. You are an alien.
You are...
An alien!
Whee! Yahoo!
We have finally achieved something great! We've encountered an alien!
I recorded it loud and clear.
An alien.
Yahoo!
Isn't that cheating?!
Are you guys elementary schoolers?
There go the three idiots again.
Who are you to talk?
Then it's my squidly turn this time.
"You are my undersquid" ten times!
Go!
You are my undersquid. You are my undersquid.
You are...
Harris.
Clark.
Martin.
Did you really think that we, who graduated MIT with top grades,
would fall for that?
That trick only works on idiots.
That's something I don't want to hear from idiotic space nerds like you!
Lately, our sales have been declining.
We gotta do something about that.
Hey, what are you up to?
You're really cute.
That's one of Goro's lifeguard buddies.
Do you have some time?
You're right.
How about having lunch together?
What the hell are you doing?!
You're bothering her!
Don't just blindly hit on anything that moves!
Sorry about that.
Oh, I think I've seen you before...
You're from the South Wind!
Who the squid?
You really are cute.
Do you want to join us for tea?
Hey, you're hitting on her, too!
A squiddle work never killed anyone?
I've been wanting to talk to you in a normal setting.
You're working at the South Wind, right?
Is that guy your dad?
It must be tough to always have to wear that stuff.
You get sick of it, huh?
I don't want to steal you,
but do you feel like taking a shot at working here?
You can say "no" if you don't want to.
All right. Looks good!
You're plenty cute even without a swimsuit.
Well, good luck, then.
Looks like they hired someone new.
Yeah.
The squid girl is cute in a refreshing way,
but this one has... romance.
I heard that a really cute girl was hired here.
Lemon House
by the Sea
What? Really?
Two beers.
For us, too.
Why are there so many customers today?
Here you go: two fried noodles.
We wanted the other girl to bring it.
What's with those longing looks?
Looks like our plan worked.
I'd like to have her on our side.
I'd like a beer, too.
Coming right up.
You're the guy from South Wind!
Hey. Looks like you're pretty busy.
Of course.
She's just plain cute.
You don't need that fake Squid Girl costume to bring in the guests.
Her natural looks are totally sufficient.
You should stop forcing your daughter to wear that.
Let me ask you this:
has she looked you in the face a single time?
She wears it voluntarily.
She says that it's easier to interact with people when she wears something.
Is that true?
That costume exists because there are merits for both parties involved.
There are way more demerits, no matter how you look at it.
However, as a parent, I do want her to be able to talk to people.
So it's okay for her to work here?
Yes, on one condition.
I'll borrow Ika Musume in exchange.
Huh? What are you talking about?
In terms of sales...
She's way ahead of Ika Musume at this point.
So, good luck over there.
Eiko, you monster!
South Wind House by the Sea
Why did this happen?
Stop dilly-dallying. You need to liven up! Got that?!
He sounds pretty strict.
What kind of work is he going to force on me?
Time to work, Ika Musume.
Wh-What should I do?
Stand there!
He told me to stand here, but...
How is it? Have you gotten used to it?
I've been standing here for about 30 minutes now.
Is it squidly okay for me to do nothing?
A shop's hostess should just stand in front of the shop like a shop's hostess!
Well, I guess not doing anything is making life easy.
Who said you could sit?!
I told you to stand, you hear? Stand!
I don't get it. Just standing here isn't working.
Ice cream? Does anybody want ice cream?
That's it!
Everybody! Come to the South Wind House by the Sea.
Don't call people in without my permission!
I got yelled at for trying to attract customers. I don't squidding get it.
We're full right now.
It would be rude to make the customers wait.
You could have squidding told me that before!
It looks like shop's hostess is too difficult for you.
I'll let you handle the inside.
That sounds good.
This is inkredible. You have a stage inside the shop.
I'll leave the rest to you.
How absurd can you get?!
It's the real one.
It really is the real one.
Won't you just call me "Ika Musume"?
Who's that?
Who's who?
What?
Is something going to start?
E-Everybody's looking at me.
I can't disappoint them now.
I have to do something.
That's it!
I am going to spit squid ink now.
It feels good when they cheer.
Next is... walking with my tentacles.
I'm going to glow.
Thank you very much.
You've gotten quite used to talking, in just one day.
Yes, thank you very much.
We're closing up, so you can get changed. Good work.
I wonder if Ika Musume is doing okay, too.
We're open in the evening, too, so...
Then I'll walk you over there and check on Ika Musume.
There are people in front of our place.
You're right. What's with that crowd?
It's a drum god!
What's with this intense atmosphere?
How's that? I can utilise Ika Musume pretty well.
I hate my non-invasion-related squid talents!
