Episode 4: The Earth's Peril
Tama's really gotten smarter since she's come back!
I think her journey matured her.
For cute cats, they call journeys "catnip."
This is a difficult to translate pun based on two Japanese sayings the father has confused. In short, "tabi" is a journey and "matatabi" is something like catnip.
Hm, I wonder what that means.
No, not like that.
Hey, what happened to Tama?
Huh?
Textbook: "Non-aggressive Foreign Policy"
Something's wrong?
She looks normal.
That's normal?!
Shou-chan, let's eat breakfast quietly.
Akane-san is right. If you keep doing this in the morning you won't grow.
Yurie-chan, wasn't that a little close?
Dammit, nobody's listening to me..
It's fine. Mom and Dad are laid back.
And I guess it'll be fine with Shou-chan.
I can't really tell them that a poverty god is living with us. It's a secret, okay?
Yuri-chan! It's bad manners to read while eating.
But I have a quiz today...
What's the matter with you?
One second...
Where are you going?
Her manners are so bad!
What's this?
Thank you for waiting.
We've come from the Gods' Association,
to deliver requests. We're TEAM HAPPINESS!
Oh, the ones Yashima-sama was talking about.
Please leave all the controlling and choosing of requests to us.
That way you'll quickly get more powerful!
Uh, thanks...
We'll do our best for Yurie-sama!
Actually, on the other hand,
it means that some requests will have to be ignored...
As a calling present, we have a very special request for you!
This is a request? From who?
Yurie-sama...
Uh.... there's a problem...
We repeat.
The government has just announced that they were visited by intelligent Martian life early this morning...
Is this a new drama?
Must be. Orson Welles did something like this a long time ago on the radio.
We will inform you of any further updates upon receiving...
I'm in trouble. Please help.
I wonder if there'll be school today...
I wonder if I'll be able to go home today...
Hey, what are your names?
We're TEAM HAPPINESS!
Oh... No, I meant your individual names.
We don't have any.
If it's okay with you, can you name us, please?
I can?
Yes!
Well, OK. I'm good at names!
We will be arriving at Hanada Airport shortly.
Please fasten your seat belts.
"God"
Wow, a real UFO!
We can't communicate with it at all.
We need to find out what it came to do.
It?
Is that fine with you?
But I don't speak Martian.
Then I'll just have to ask you to use your god powers. Supernatural powers!
Anyway, it's in this nuclear shelter for now.
A real Martian...
What on Earth could it have come here for...
Eh?
But...
Isn't this bad?
Imprisoning it before knowing anything is just...
So ask it its motives!
Uh, I'm not ready yet-
Diplomacy means courage!
WAIT! TIME OUT! LET ME START OVER!
Hello...
Piko Piko Pon Pon Pon?
I don't understand at all...
Yurie-sama, don't give up!
Martians are still human!
Sincerity is what matters!
Well, it's not a human...
Idiot!
It's from so far away and it's all alone....
How would you feel, Yurie-sama?
Oh, you're right! Thanks, I'll try.
OK!
N... ni hao....
I'm Yurie. Don't be scared.
You're not scared... are you?
I'm not scared, I'm not scared....
Please, get me out of here!
Uh, was that you just now?
Give me a phone, please!
A phone?
The government has enlisted the help of the middle school goddess Yurie Hitotsubashi.
We assume that she is currently in the Prime Minister's office, interviewing the Martian.
Is that what she meant by "official business"?
I guess.
Can you hear me?
Wow, you're speaking normal Earth language.
Thank goodness! I was afraid I couldn't return to Mars.
You're a girl after all.
I'm sorry that you were suddenly shut in like this.
No, you all seem like good people.
"You all"?
You can see us?
Yes!
The government people couldn't see you...
Only the pure of heart can see us!
Don't make things up!
So, what did you come to Earth for?
I came to return someone who got lost. He looks like this...
This is America's! It says NASA right here.
This isn't from this country?
No, it's NASA. It's a bit different.
The Earth sure is...
It's an octopus, but their technology is amazing.
I won't let it escape. I'll bring it over along with the UFO. I will always be on America's side.
Now it's settled, isn't it?
Yeah. Sincerity is important, after all.
Like Cho-chan said.
Cho-chan?
Your name!
Because your advice was REALLY helpful! (cho(u) = really, butterfly)
Chou = really; butterfly
Well?
Uh...
That's because you behaved well.
Yurie-sama, banzai!
Well, what should I get as a souvenir?
"The World's Leader" "Prime Minister"
Well, not that.
Has everything really been settled?
I can't really believe that politician.
Don't worry, the prime minister wouldn't lie!
Look, look! It's going to drop!
Roger.
Support is on the way.
Please halt.
Civilians aren't allowed in.
I'm authorized.
Excuse me.
Let go! I can leave on my own!
That UFO is no longer yours. It is now the property of the United States.
You are as well.
You tricked me!
You and the UFO will help our countries' technology a great deal.
Prime minister!
What is this?
You said you'd release Martian-san afterwards.
I'm not ordering this, my Chief Cabinet Secretary is.
I believe there may have been a misunderstanding in our communications.
I shall certainly bring this topic up in the future.
Are you making fun of me?
Please escort her out.
What are you doing?
Yurie-chan!
Let me go!
Yurie-chan, get me his radio!
What's this?
Don't take it off!
If you have it on, you won't get sleepy.
Let's go!
Head office, do you read me? Requesting directions.
What? The batteries must be dead.
Run!
An incident has occurred at the Diet Building.
The Martian and god are currently at large.
They appear to be hiding inside the building now.
Get over there immediately!
They may be armed, stay alert!
A Martian and an under-aged god
currently seem to be at large inside the Diet Building.
What is she doing?
I hope she won't get into too much trouble.
Isn't this already a lot of trouble?
Emergency Headquarters
I think the police should handle this.
No, if an alien is involved the Defense Agency should handle it.
Let the American military take care of it. That's what the US-Japan Security Treaty is for.
If America is involved, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs should handle it, shouldn't it?
I've had enough!
In this crisis...
I will take command. All the S.P., riot police, and self-defense forces are to follow my orders.
First, collect all the radios!
This has become a big mess...
Sorry, it's all my fault.
No, I think it's the Prime Minister's fault.
I deeply apologize. I never expected the Prime Minister to be that kind of guy...
But you did it for my sake. Don't worry.
Oh, I have it now! Your name can be Ino-kun.
Inoshishi is a boar, kini shinakute iino = don't worry
If you put yourself in someone else's shoes, you can understand.
Of course you'd want to go home.
You have family waiting for you. Right?
Who's that?
Someone I like.
He's my classmate at Mars Middle School.
It's unrequited love, but...
You're in middle school? And you have someone like that, too...
"Too"?
Um... never mind, forget it.
If it's like this, I'm definitely getting you home!
Martians should be able to live on Mars!
My mom always says that our house is the best after coming back from a trip!
But, what should we do? There's so many people in the way of the UFO!
Hm.. I know! Can you find me a pen and paper?
If that's what you need, then I have it! Please, take it.
Thank you.
I only have 3 pieces of paper...
They're so small! Just 3... I hope this goes well.
What are you doing?
Getting ready for a blockade run.
May I suggest that you open your eyes when writing?
They are open!
You don't have anyone to teach you?
No... I mean, maybe yes, sort of, I guess ...
Jeez, you only say weird things!
As a penalty, your name is Shika-kun!
Shika means deer, "hen na koto shika iwanai" is you only say weird things
Thank you! I'm so happy!
Even as a penalty!
Now we all have names!
Banzai!
Surrender! You have no choice!
We know you're there! Come out!
There's a lot of them!
They're coming this way!
How do you write "tactics"?
Like this, and this, and this!
They're here!
I'm done!
That was impressive, Yurie-sama!
I did it!
"Delaying Tactics"
Now what...
What happened?
We no longer have radio communications, so please wait.
Target in sight!
Get them!
2nd and 3rd platoons, go assist.
1st platoon, stay at your post.
"Similarities"
A lie may be excused!
Straight ahead is not the only way!
I hope Yurie is okay...
I hope we're okay...
I have one more of Ino-chan's papers, so it should be okay...
Don't move!
Um, um...
Put both of your hands up!
Yurie-chan...
What should we do?
Nonaggressive foreign policy!
Our countries defense force is used...um...
...only when being attacked.
I mean, must be limited.
So, you can't attack us, right?
Excuse us.
Don't look, pervs!
This is as far as you'll go. That octopus will be delivered to the US by any means.
Why? Isn't it natural for a Martian to return to Mars?
This is what we call diplomacy. I have no business with a planet where it would cost me billions of dollars just to get there.
So, hand her over! For Japan!
For America! For the sake of two countries' good relationship!
Are you okay?
Thank you for everything.
Please don't hate Earthlings because of all of this...
We're not all bad people.
There are some wonderful people like Yurie-sama!
Yeah, and people like you, too!
If you want, you can come to Mars and visit!
I'll try. I want to meet your friend, too!
We'll try our best, okay?
Yeah, each of us will.
Oh, this...
You can keep it!
Really?
Thank you! Then, for you...
Here!
Thank you!
"Martian-chan loves Martian-kun"
What does it say?
You'll find out when you get home!
Stay well!
See you again!
Now it's finished...
Really?
Yup.
Yeah.
I wonder if they'll take me home...
The United Nations announced that the object placed in front of the White House was left by the Martian yesterday.
That must have been so much trouble...
Yeah. Oh! This is a gift for you!
Thanks...
Yurie-sama! Good morning!
We have a wish for you!
In a breaking news story, the government announced early this morning that they have been contacted by Katei-jin and Chitei-jin...
Kaitei-jin means people who live on the ocean floor. Chitei-jin means people on ground nadir.
Mitsue-chan, I'm probably going to take today off, too...
