Japan's seas are my seas!

Ground Defense Force Mao-chan

Neverending everyday life...

...is always waiting for you in this town.

Instead of being hurt and troubled all alone,

try telling me what's in your heart.

I want to wrap you up...

...with infinite love,

with a strong heart,

and with deep affection.

All my love, you're my love...

I'll win the goddess of victory over to my side.

All my life, you're my life...

I'll go on loving you...

...no matter what happens.

I'll stand by you forever.

"Sylvia of the Sea Defense Force".

The Xth of O.

We had a homeroom meeting in my class.

If anyone wants to raise a topic for discussion in today's homeroom meeting,

please raise your hand and speak up.

Is there anyone who has a topic for discussion?

Yes!

Yes, Mao-chan.

I'd like us all to discuss why the cute aliens are coming to Japan.

A lecture on the cute aliens by Kagome Mishima!

Why am I stuck doing this?

Miss Kagome, please begin.

Yes, sir.

[First Contact With ET]

It was two years ago when Earth made first contact with the cute aliens. [First Contact With ET]

[First Contact With ET]

It was at this time that a special Ground Defense Force team...

...took this turtle-shaped flying alien into protective custody.

The alien, which we named "Cosmic Tama-chan," was loved by all.

Possibly because of everyone's love for her,

Cosmic Tama-chan laid four eggs several months later.

Three of them were the clover-shaped cosmic objects...

...that are worn by Mao-chan and the others.

In the fourth egg, there was a letter which read...

"Japan is being targeted"!

Although we are unsure as to the cute aliens' objective,

it is clear that Japan is being targeted.

That is why this Defense Force organization was established.

This has been a lecture on the cute aliens by Kagome Mishima.

So, is everything clear to you now?

- Yes, ma'am! - Yes, ma'am!

For the first time, I understand!

Me, too!

Hey, that's...!

The menu item added just for Mao-chan and the other girls.

The Defense Kiddie Meal.

It looks delicious.

Chief of Staff Onigawara, where are you?

Report to operations room right away.

Private Onigawara is commencing the operation.

Oh, I'm sorry.

Miss Kagome, I'll be right back. Until then, you have command.

Chief of Staff? Chief of Staff!

Colonel Mishima, the target's reentry capsule has disintegrated!

Target is about to reveal itself!

These cute aliens...

No matter how many times we see them...

They're still cute...

Target has been lost.

Top-Secret Materials Storage Room

It's not here... Or here! Or here! Or here!

I can't find the third clover we seized from the alien!

Rikushiro.

Sorajiro...

So, are you behind this?!

Where did you hide it? That clover is Ground Defense Force property!

When I got here, it was already gone.

Right?

What?! It was?!

Y-You're...

Sea Defense Force Chief of Staff...

- Adalbert von Maruyama! - Adalbert von Maruyama!

What are you here?

It can't be!

Oh, but it can.

The cute alien!

There's no telling where it went...

What are we gonna do, Misora-chan?

In a situation like this, we can't defend the country...

Looks like you're having a rough time, all right.

Sorry 'bout that, I should've introduced myself.

My name is Sylvia Maruyama. You can call me Sylvie.

Um... Well... We're in the middle of defending Japan from a cute alien.

Please run away.

I got a million reasons that I'd like to do that,

but I got just as many reasons that I can't.

Why's that?

'Cause I'm a member of the Sea Defense Force.

You're a member of the Sea Defense Force?

Really, truly?

Cross my heart, hope to die, stick a needle in my eye.

But if you did that, it would really hurt!

You're funny!

This is no time to laugh!

Yeah, you're right. I need to show you some proof, don't I?

Kai-bo!

Sylvia Maruyama of the Sea Defense Force!

Japan's seas are my seas!

The only person who will call forth the power of that clover is my Sylvie.

Okay, I guess I'll go do some defending.

Give it your best shot!

What's the matter?

The water's awfully cold this time of year.

Huh? C'mon, let's defend the country!

The truth is, I can't swim.

No way!

Hey, that was a great reaction! Could you do it again?

Aren't you interested in defending the country, Sylvie-chan?

That's really sad!

Okay, okay. I'm sorry.

My grandpa is Chief of Staff of the Sea Defense Force.

I guess I gotta do what I gotta do...

Hey, that's right! I learned this from my grandpa.

He says that when you pray hard to this baton that you want to protect Japan,

something awesome will happen.

That's terrific!

I'm gonna give it a try.

Let something awesome happen...

Let something awesome happen...

Let something awesome happen...

Let something awesome happen...

Let something awesome happen...

Let something awesome happen...

Let something awesome happen!

Huh. Nothing's happening.

You're kidding!

What was the point of all that?

Well, nobody's perfect.

Huh?

Wow, that's pretty!

Sylvie-chan!

Is that safe?!

It's pretty, so I guess it oughta be.

Darn thing surprised me.

Mao-chan, look at that!

Look out there!

We did it!

Yes, we certainly did!

Wow, I'm pretty amazing.

That girl is the third elementary school student Defense Force team member...

Adalbert's granddaughter...

Sylvia Maruyama...

Yes, quite right!

It's love! Love!

They did it, they did it!

What the heck is happening to the Defense Force?

- Victory! - Victory!

A third elementary school student Defense Force member is born!

They run past us in fast-forward,

this brand-new everyday.

Smiling, calm and composed,

I handle trouble lightly and quickly.

Even when tears go straight to my heart.

Let's throw a peace sign into the blue sky...

...and fight for our future.

Never give up, never look back.

That's my style.

Let's do our best again tomorrow with high spirits...

...until we reach our dreams.

Next week, you're really gonna see me cut loose!

Sylvie-chan, you're amazing!

If you're going into action, what is it that you will be doing?

The next episode is "Shall We Eat Something for Now?"

Perhaps it won't be so amazing...

Yuru-yuru next week, too!
