Yahoo! Victory is mine!
No!
I won again!
Son of a bitch!
You know, Martin, using those dirty tricks is a bit...
Oh no!
Mintendo's game consoles are known to be sturdy...
...but they're by no means indestructible.
How am I supposed to spend my free time now?
Wait a second!
Don't forget that we're top graduates from MIT.
If we put our heads together...
...we could come up with an even better game!
Won't You Break It?
And so...
we made our own game console.
Yahoo!
Just what is your actual job?
You made yet another silly invention that has nothing to do with space.
No, no! There might be aliens who like gaming.
Like hell there are.
Is that a game console?
Like right here, for example.
Let me see that!
Aren't you fond of gaming, too?
I'm more than just fond of it.
Gaming is my life!
If that's the case, please try out this prototype console.
Oh, seriously?
Don't mind if I—
Ya...
hoo!
See?
What the hell was that?!
Anyway, there's not a thing out there that can break this, so play with it however you like.
I'm sure you'll love the games inside.
You can even link two consoles and play together.
Great!
Thank you and come again.
Please come again!
Business is pretty slow today.
Yeah.
All right, let's try the game that the Three Stooges made!
I'm in!
Man, what gives?
The power button won't move.
It's so stiff!
What's with this?
My finger!
Those guys focused only on making it sturdy, didn't they?
My finger!
It looks pretty retro.
I like these kind of games.
Let's do this!
Start!
This character looks just like me!
Let's try out the controls.
Jump!
What?!
I got the pistol!
Take this!
It won't hit!
I finally reached the goal!
So weak!
I have nowhere to run to!
What the hell?
This game is shit!
I can't continue?!
Screw this!
Eiko...
S-Sorry! You can deduct the charges from my pay!
And?
I'll fix it later! I promise!
All right, then.
Make sure to work hard when we have customers.
O-Of course!
Damn it! Who knew the wall would break?!
It being rock solid is its gimmick, huh?
The Mystery of @lantis
The Game is Life
Takeru's Challenge
Looks like it's got more than one game.
Let's play them all!
All right!
Hey, lemme get one shrimp pilaf.
What are those two up to?
Trying out a new game console, apparently.
What? I'm a customer, you know?!
You don't count as a customer, Gorou!

Okay, let's gather some info at the town first.
Why don't we buy some items here?
We don't have any gold yet.
This is the Beach House.
We're always busy here.
Yeah, sure—
This is the Beach House.
We are always busy.
We heard you the first time!
This is the Beach House.
We are always busy.
Enough! And why do you look like Takeru?!
We're in trouble.
Whoa!
Our beloved princess has a fever that hasn't waned since last month.
Crystals from the Northern Cave may cure her, but a scary dragon is there.
All you do is wander around here all day!
How do you know all those details?!
Well, RPGs are usually like this.
God Death Bringer!
Eiko
Ika
Punyo has taken 6 points of damage!
We defeated it!
Punyo has been defeated.
Eiko
Ika
The attack name sounds so grand, but it doesn't actually do much.
Eiko
Ika
A Winged Punyo appeared!
Whatever. This is my chance to level up a bi—
What the hell was with that enemy?!
Its power was on a totally different level!
Amen!
I won't be able to beat this thing one-on-one.
Since it's come to this...
Ika
Eiko
Fight
Escape
Winged Punyo
Ika
Eiko
Ika Musume tried to escape!
Ika
Eiko
There's nowhere to escape!
I can't escape!
I'll side with you if you give me money.
You're pretty crafty.
Ika
Eiko
A group of Punyos has appeared!
Squid Ink!
Ika
Eiko
Ika Musume's Squid Ink landed a hit!
Diagonal Slash!
Punyo 2 has taken 23 points of damage!
Puniyo 2 has been defeated!
Why the hell does the higher level attack have such a lame name?!
I don't have any moves other than Squid Ink or Squid Tentacle.
So goddamn stiff!
Gotta keep hitting!
We're finally here, huh?
Looks like it.
The final boss, the Demon Lord, is inside.
Ready?
Let's do this!
You have reached the end of the trial version.
Buy the full version to keep playing!
Yahoo!
Bye!
Who the hell would buy this?!
It hurts!
What were we thinking?
What a terrible letdown.
How about a game on a home console to cheer us up?
Easing woes from gaming through gaming, huh?
All right, it's been a while since we played this!
Yeah!
Hey, can anyone lend me a hand?
Oh, I'll help!
Where should I take this to?
The low table right over there.
Okay.
Ayumi, would you take these for me, too?
Yes, coming!
You've been much more talkative lately, Ayumi.
You should keep working for us!
Well, um...
Huh?
I'm sorry!
Weren't you talking normally with Ika Musume and Sis just now?
Is it that you don't like Eiko?
That's not true!
Is the way she talks too rough?
No, not at all!
Then what is it?
Well...
Why is she treating me differently?
What's bothering you, Ayumi?
Well...
Ika and Chizuru, I'm fine dealing with you two because you aren't human!
Isn't It Normal?
Fried rice, curry, a fried chicken meal, and melon shaved ice, please.
O-Okay. I'll get right to it.
No unusual behavior today, huh?
It's too early to tell!
Ayumi, who can interact normally with nonhuman beings, is friendly toward me,
and for some reason, I'm being observed by the space alien researchers.
I can't let this go on.
I need to show some restraint!
Um...
What is it, Ayumi?
Is the food not ready yet?
Oh, just give me a second.
Here you go.
Thank you.
You cook so fast, Chizuru. It's almost like you're superhuman.
Superhuman?
What's the normal cooking speed for humans, then?
I need someone to compare myself to.
Ika Musume, can you come do some cooking?
Sure.
Cooking Notes
Secret
It's ready.
That's all?
It's not that different from my time.
Ayumi must've been exaggerating.
I'm relatively normal!
It has to be relative to an actual human!
I've got to calm down!
I need to loosen up.
Sis, salt ramen and curry, please.
Okay!
You're taking longer than usual.
That's not like you.
It's just longer than what's usual for me.
What if it were a normal person?
A normal person?
I guess they'd take this long, too.
Okay! I get it now!
Get what?
I should clean the dishes slowly,
act like the beer's heavy when I'm carrying it,
and just let the mosquito bite me.
I bet I look more or less like a normal girl now!
Her movement performance is 67% lower than usual!
Unbelievable!
I'm looking it up!
She's not herself today.
Maybe a summer cold got her or something.
Usually the virus would run away from her.
Sis!
There's a banana peel right in front of you!
I can still avoid it.
But if I do...
That's Sis for you!
Normal humans wouldn't have been able to avoid that!
Chizuru, your reflexes are superhuman!
Unbelievable!
I have to step on it.
Now what?
What am I supposed to do after stepping on it?
That's Sis for you!
It's amazing how you stepped on the banana peel but didn't fall down!
That was a superhuman move!
Unbelievable!
I have to fall over.
But how exactly?
Usually, a person in this posture would hit the floor face-first.
Then again,
a person might act on instinct and try to protect their face with their hands.
How quickly would a normal person collapse?
According to the laws of motion, my body...
Pepper
Wait! At this rate, the impact would scatter the condiments!
Pepper
It'd be a pain to clean up that mess!
Wait, maybe it's not normal to think about how to fall in the first place.
Then I should just naturally...
But I still want to minimize any damage!
That was a pretty bad fall! Are you okay?
Yeah. Banana peels are dangerous since people normally slip on them, right?
Dangerous doesn't even begin to describe it.
A normal person would've died from that!
What? I needed to fall down even harder to be normal?
No, I'm saying normal people would die if they fell down like that.
You've been acting weird all day, Chizuru.
It's because... you all treat me... like a monster!
I'm just...
a shy and naive normal girl who's just a little bit too powerful!
There's no point in pretending now.
I understand.
I'll treat you as a normal girl from now on.
Really?!
But you have to promise not to get angry at me!
Of course!
Ika Musume will have everything her way if you don't stay in control!
But...
Now I can take my first step toward invasion!
Ika!
I bought a new camera...
so pose for me!
I-I don't want to!
Don't be shy.
I'll stop you!
Say, "Cheese!"
Great!
Amazing!
You're so photogenic!
More!
Cut it out!
Look over here!
Good, it's looking great!
More, more!
More!
Yeah, that's the stuff!
She's moving faster than neutrinos!
Impossible!
Maybe I'm pretty normal compared to Sanae?
I must've been worrying too much.
Godlike speed!
Ika!
Smile more, my cute Ika!
Enough already!
Hey, Ika Musume!
Breakfast is ready.
Huh?
Sis!
It looks like Ika Musume isn't here.
Did she go somewhere?
This early in the morning?
Yeah, it's unusual.
Well, either way...
Let's eat first.
I'm sure she'll come back once she gets hungry.
Let's dig in!
Looks like they haven't found me yet.
Won't You Hide?
I'll spend the entire day hiding from them, right under their noses!
This is terrible! Ika Musume is gone!
What could have happened to Ika Musume?
Ika Sis!
Ika Musume!
Where have you been?!
You had us worried sick!
Thank goodness!
What were you so worked up about?
I was here the entire time!
What?!
Now to sit back and watch them worry about me!
I think I just heard a weird noise from over there.
This is bad!
Uh, uh...
A dog got inside?
That's not good.
I shouldn't have done that!
Huh?
I must've been hearing things.
They almost found me so early into the game.
Thanks for the food.
Thanks for the food!
She hasn't noticed me at all.
After Chizuru is done with the dishes,
I'll go grab my portion of the breakfast!
Is she going to put it in the fridge?
She's awful! Just awful!
She ate my sausage!
And here I thought she would leave all of it for me.
She's such a glutton!
I'll put a curse on Chizuru so she gets fat!
I was joking!
It's a curse where you look like you gained weight, but actually haven't!
She left!
Now's my chance to get something!
What are you do—
Hey, what are you doing?
Hide-and-seek!
If no one finds me today, I win!
That sounds fun! Can I play?
It's not that easy, you know.
I can do it!
We're sure to be spotted if we're together,
so let's split up and hide.
Absolutely no talking, either!
Got it!
She still hasn't noticed me.
Sis, do you know where Takeru is?
Huh? He's not here?
I guess he went out.
Already? Talk about energetic.
Takeru's not the only one missing! Don't forget about me!
Oh yeah! Ika Musume!
I hope she's not planning on skipping work.
Why is Takeru energetic while I'm a slacker?
Maybe she's already at the Beach House.
You think so?
She could have the TV all to herself there.
They're only getting meaner.
Ready to go?
Yeah.
Take...
No, no!
Each player hides themselves in a game of hide-and-seek!
We're home!
It seems those two still aren't home.
Forget about Ika Musume. I'm really worried about Takeru.
Yeah, I'm worried about him, too.
They're so mean!
I'll go look for them!
I'll come along.
They're taking this seriously.
Eiko...
Look.
I bet those two are hiding somewhere inside the house.
What should I do?
You're right.
I'm sure they'll be back by dinner.
Let's go prepare dinner then.
Ten!
Nine!
Eight!
What's the countdown for?
Seven!
Six!
Five!
Four!
Three!
What's going to happen when she reaches zero?!
Two!
One!
I'm glad you made it in time.
We're having roast chicken!
The countdown was for the oven?
It doesn't taste good cold.
I-I guess so.
