My heart's being conquered. Keep at it!
Excuse me?
I'm lost. Which way is the station?
Eiko!
Takeru, what are you so worked up about?
Teach me English!
Won't You Speak English?
A foreigner just asked me for directions,
but I couldn't help him.
So please, teach me English.
Huh? I can't teach you English.
I want to learn English, too!
Like you'd need it.
I mean, I'll be invading America sooner or later.
You've barely even started here,
and you're already thinking of your next target?
Oh, right!
I know the perfect person who could teach you!
Coming!
Whoa, Cindy? What's with those clothes?
What? They're normal.
It's not like I'd wear a swimsuit to someone's house.
So I guess you do have some common sense.
What about the glasses?
I usually wear contacts.
Hello!
Hello. You're Takeru, right?
Yep.
Cindy, you speak perfect Japanese, but you're an American, right?
Yes, that's right.
Man, I wish every American was like you.
That'd be hell!
Basics of English Conversation
Okay, let's start with greetings.
All right!
How are you?
Here!
I'm fine, thank you. And you?
I'm fine, too. Thank you.
Hey, you can already speak some English! That's very good!
I learned from watching TV.
Hey, what was with that "Teach me English"?
I didn't get a word of it!
I have no idea what Takeru and Cindy are saying!
You are more alien than I'll ever be!
That was English, Ika.
It's fine.
English is like a puzzle.
Once you grasp the basics, it'll be easier than Japanese.
It is really easier than speaking Japanese.
They say one who masters English is to become the Master of all.
Now the world invasion is going to be such a piece of cake.
Really? Is that so?
No way...
How could she have learned to speak English so quickly?
Hey. Nature is calling me.
nee-chan koori mizu
What?! Sister ice water?!
What the hell are you saying?
Go ahead.
Thank you.
Wait...
"Nature is calling me,"
which means he has to go to the bathroom.
What?
If you need to go to the bathroom, you say, "Me, toilet, go!" Right?
You mean... it's not?
But still, your capacity for learning is astonishing.
I'm impressed, Galactic Ika.
I told you that I'm not Galactic Ika!
It might be more efficient to focus on teaching Galactic Ika,
and then she can teach the others.
We'd be taught by Ika Musume?!
You are so stupid.
Like I could endure something so humiliating!
What's the problem?
Why are you raising your voice like that?
How is it coming along?
Good.
Learning English is fun.
I've invaded English!
You're learning so fast.
Ms. Cindy must be a good teacher.
Oh, Chizuru, you speak English, too.
A little bit.
Even she...
And you...?
I just realized I need to-
Hey, wait a minute!
abunai
Watch out!
Have an eye?!
That was close.
Eiko, you can speak English, after all.
Huh? What did she say to me?
I'm going to prepare lunch.
I've been meaning to ask you for a while,
Uh...
so let me ask you now.
How about the three stooges?
Have they been causing you girls problems?
What is this? I totally love this stuff.
saikou
Amazing!
Psycho?
I should ask what this is.
I think they are bit different but I didn't imagine you were thinking like that.
Oh, crap. Did I say something weird?
I should offer her some snacks.
Thank you for the cookies, but don't try to change the subject.
I guess she doesn't like things like these.
What do you think about me?
Just looking at her, she seems like she should be a celebrity.
It's a good opportunity. Let it out.
Compared to that, we're just...
binbou
poor.
Bimbo?!
You're saying I'm an airhead!
Eiko, are you serious?!
She's mad?
I can't help that we're poor.
Answer me, Eiko!
Oh, jeez.
shiran
I don't care anymore!
Sit down?
Well, if you say so, I'll sit down.
So? When should I come by next time?
Huh? She looks kind of sorry now...
I wonder if she feels bad about the "poor" thing?
mondai nai yo
Cindy, don't worry about it.
Monday night?
All right. Monday it is.
Okay, okay! Please, please!
Lunch is ready.
It looks yummy.
I'm starving.
itadakimasu
Thanks for the food!
Eat a duck I must?
What? There's duck in it?
I'm not really fond of duck meat.
Udon umai
The udon noodles are great.
You don't mind? What?
How do you know I don't like duck?
Well, I'll have whatever's served to me.
She's eating the eggplant first.
Maybe she really likes eggplant.
nasu mittsu
Three eggplant slices.
Okay.
Nice to meet you?
I've known you for a while now. You don't need to say that.
Why is Cindy avoiding the wasabi?
She doesn't know what she's missing.
You can eat this.
Water?
Oh, my! Here's some water.
arigatou.
Thank you.
Alligator?!
Oh, my god!
Huh? Playing house?
o mama goto
Where? Where is it?
Why would you keep such a dangerous creature?
I was on my way somewhere. See you!
Miss Cindy?
I hope she'll come back.
It's pretty unlikely.
In the beginning, I wasn't so sure about this,
but in the end we maintained communication.
What's really important isn't the words.
Communication is all heart.
Oh, a foreigner.
Ika Musume, you just smile and...
keep quiet, even if he asks for directions.
Got it.
I beg your pardon.
Couples go for udon?
Yes.
Which way is Yuigahama Station?
Oh, Yuigahama...
aru keru yo
You can walk there.
I'll kill you.
I'll find out the rest of the way on my own. Thanks a lot!
See, communication is all heart.
That suits you just fine, Eiko.
Are pictures of dogs really that funny?
No! It's because you keep tickling me.
What's 'tickling'?
You're saying you've never been tickled?
Won't You Stop?!
Ika Musume.
I want you to turn around and spread your arms.
Like this?
Now comes the tickling!
That's so weird!
That wasn't funny at all, but I couldn't stop laughing.
When I do it to myself, nothing happens.
That's right.
It only works if someone else does it to you.
Here you go.
Please enjoy.
Obviously, my first victim will be...
Please stop!
I can't stand being tickled!
Oh?
Hearing that just makes me want to tickle you more!
Stop acting like a pervy old man!
You mean you're a pervert now?!
And here's the real deal.
TL Note: Hentai can mean pervert or transformation/metamorphosis.
You mean she's not fully grown yet?
I didn't mean it on a biological level.{tlc}
I taught her about tickling,
and now she wants to try it out on people.
Gotcha!
What the hell are you doing?!
Now I get it.
You should've just told me earlier.
What are you doing?
Little Ika!
Tickle me all you want!
Huh?
What did you expect?
Take this!
Take that!
Koochie koochie coo!
And this! And that!
Damn it!
She's taking this too far!
What the hell are you doing to the customers?!
Sorry, I got a little carried away.
But this might give me a chance against Chizuru.
I think trying that on my sister would be a really bad idea.
Why?
Getting tickled is probably the only thing she can't stand.
Oh, then it's a great idea.
Don't you get it?
She hates being tickled. Doing it would be...
an all-out declaration of war.
Maybe so,
but don't you want to see Chizuru rolling on the floor laughing?
I do...
It'll be fine.
She wouldn't get mad just because I made her laugh a little.
It would be more like a form of communication.
Here I go.
Take care.
She's so scared that she had to use auto-suggestion...
Now!
Looks like you let your guard down, Chizuru.
It's death by laughter!
I'm sorry, Ika Musume, but I'm not ticklish there.
But...
Then where would I have to tickle you to take you down?
I'm afraid I can't tell you that.
But... I will acknowledge your declaration of war.
So I guess this is what death by laughter feels like.
You were brave.
That was a sheer joy to watch!
Thank you, Little Ika!
What?
Huh? Hiccups?
It's probably because you were laughing so much.
Did you know that if you can't stop by the 100th hiccup,
something horrible will happen to you?
One hundred? I don't have that kind of time.
For us squids,
we have only until the 30th hiccup.
Huh?
You can't just apply human standards to squids like me.
So is there some kind of remedy?
Of course there is!
I have to be made happy!
I'm going on break.
It's true! I can't help it!
Look, I only have 26 hiccups left!
Talk about a pain...
Then tell us: what would make you happy?
It would be pointless if I just told you!
Figure it out yourselves and surprise me!
You are such a pain.
What if I let you win at video games?
A massage fit for a celebrity?
An allowance?
Hey!
Here...
Be satisfied, already!
What you're doing isn't enough!
Look, we're trying to go along with this,
so why are you being so difficult?
And are you really going to die once you hit 30 hiccups?
I never said I would die.
Huh?
However, my tentacles will become grotesquely mutilated,
and start attacking anybody and everybody.
The hell's with that?!
I don't want to keep doing this and have you end up spoiled.
Sis?
Well, Little Ika?
It's an exquisite meal featuring the spiny lobster!
It looks delicious!
I'm so full.
So, how are you now?
Hmm... Let's see...
What?
I've had enough of this.
What are you doing?
Threatening me won't make the hiccups go away!
Looks like she's really serious.
We've indulged your little whims until now,
but that stops right now.
Any last words?
I'm sorry for everything I've done!
I'm sorry for tickling you, too!
Farewell then, Ika Musume.
No!
Just kidding!
Sorry.
That was a little act to stop the hiccups!
I thought you were going to kill me.
I'm alive! I'm alive, aren't I?
Oh?
It looks like the hiccups stopped.
They did!
I'm so glad!
I'm so glad to be alive!
I'm glad the hiccups stopped.
There really isn't a better surprise than that.
This is the greatest form of happiness!
Eiko, I'm going to play by the river with my friends!
'kay.
Take care, though!
I'm going, too!
Hey!
You have work to do.
I want to get some time off sometimes, too!
"Sometimes," she says...
Well, I guess it's okay if you're going to watch over...
Takeru and his friends so they don't get washed away.
Leave it to me!
Won't You Flow?!
It's like a long, narrow ocean.
It's called a river, Ika.
You got her to come along.
Good job, Takeru!
Oh... right.
What are you going to do?
There's no sand like by the Lemon,
so we can't make a castle.
Volleyball would be dangerous, too.
I've got an idea.
Let's race bamboo boats!
Yeah!
Bamboo boats?
Do you know how to make a bamboo boat?
Not a clue.
Bend both of those sides over.
Okay...
You make cuts that divide it into about three sections.
I see...
Leave out the middle and stick it in the end like this...
Uh huh...
And you're done!
Takeru, that's fantastic!
You turned a single leaf into a boat!
I'm seeing you in a whole new light!
It's not that impressive.
Bend here... three sections.... stick it in here and here...
Behold!
I'm going to call this ship "Black Tiger"!
What's with the stone inside?
What is that stone supposed to do?
Why, it's me, of course!
A boat with nobody in it can hardly be called a boat!
Everyone, hurry up. Let's start the race!
Shouldn't we tell her?
That boat is totally going to sink.
Yeah, but she's got her pride.
She sure does.
Why don't you all just cool down.
What?
Do you have some kind of idea?
I anticipated this, which is why I brought this pumice stone.
Wow, that's awesome!
It really is.
Ika?
About that rock in your bamboo bo- I mean, in the "Black Tiger."
I was thinking this white rock...
suits you a lot better than that one. What do you say?
Yeah!
Then why don't I use that?
Aren't you guys going to get ready?
It's still floating!
Great!
I guess it won't sink now.
Listen up.
She's a very sore loser,
and if she doesn't come out on top, she gets really mad.
There's not a chance my Black Tiger could lose!
She'd hate us all!
Yeah...
Their impression of her is...
We have to let her win, no matter what!
Yeah!
Then let's start!
Oh, no!
Attack!
Kaboom!
Laser attack!
Giant on the loose!
Ika's Black Tiger really is awesome!
That boat is unbeatable!
It's awesome!
Ika, where are you going?
I'm sitting in the Black Tiger GT,
so I have to see how far she goes!
Ika...
This is amazing. It just keeps going and going.
My Black Tiger Ticonderoga...
went back to the sea.
The sea?
This is the sea.
The river and the sea are connected.
I guess that means that all things on the surface...
return to the sea.
Oh, it's the Lemon.
I guess that means this is where I call my home after all.
I'm back!
Welcome...
...to the house on the beach, Lenon!
Lenon
Le-Lenon?
Where the heck am I?!
Ika still isn't back, huh?
Yeah.
How far did that fool go?
