Sylvia Maruyama of the Sea Defense Force.

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.

The Way of Art Is a Thorny Path.

The Xth of O.

We are going to perform a skit tomorrow at the school assembly.

We are rehearsing our skit today.

Someone, please help me!

The cute alien is taking the landmarks of Japan!

That's far enough!

It's the beautiful and invincible girl Defense Force member!

Miss, you're safe now.

I'll defend you against the cute alien, you see.

Oh, how dependable you are!

Oh, you wanna fight, do ya?

I wouldn't if I were you.

I'm a woman who doesn't know the meaning of the word restraint.

Type 2 Marine Gear, download!

Kai-bo!

Sylvia Maruyama of the Sea Defense Force.

Japan's seas are my seas!

Give up, Mao-yan!

Don't you mean "alien"?

My policy is to go all the way whatever I do.

Say your prayers!

Sylvie-chan, that's too much!

Sorry, Mao-yan. I was a bit too focused on my performance.

But you got the names wrong!

There, there...

If you hadn't stopped me, I would've fired my beam for real.

Sylvie-chan, your eyes aren't laughing...

So, what did you think of my pose? Don't you think it could have been better?

It was so perfect that it was almost scary.

My lines were a little forced.

Sylvie-chan, you're the one who wrote the script!

Okay, let's take it again from the top!

That was the 23rd time...

Artists should never make any compromises in their craft!

We're Defense Force members!

So this is where you girls went!

Miss Kagome!

I just got a call from headquarters!

They said you downloaded your Type 2 Gear 23 times!

Why did you do such a thing?

Do you have any idea how much of the budget that chews up?

Teacher... The way of art is a thorny path.

What's that supposed to mean?

You're doing a play about the Defense Forces at the school assembly?

That's right.

We wanted everyone to know more about the activities of the Defense Forces...

Even so, you can't actually download the Type 2 Gear.

If it's for a play, you should act in it just like a normal play.

And if you want to help the Defense Forces, that goes double.

Help the Defense Forces?

Yes, that's right.

Then please join us in our play.

Excuse me?

Because you're also a Defense Forces member, Miss Kagome

It's for the good of the Defense Forces.

Right, right.

That may be right, but I can't act.

When my grandpa comes to see the play tomorrow,

I bet he'd be surprised to see you in the play, Miss Kagome.

The Chief of Staff is coming?!

Y-Yes, ma'am. He said he'd sneak in.

The Chief of Staff is coming...!

I'm amazed that you would go to such lengths for my granddaughter.

Most impressive, Miss Kagome.

Je t'aime!

Me, too!

Speaking in French and English...

Oh, what should I do? Should I do it?

Looks like it's okay with her.

Chief of Staff...

It certainly does. Chief of Staff...

In that case, she needs a costume.

W-What's with this outfit? Why was there an outfit like this at school?

Miss Kagome, you look real cute!

Or rather, you look sexy.

Grandpa might get a nosebleed!

I'll do my best, Mao-chan!

O-Okay...

What should we do about the casting?

I don't wanna play a cute alien.

True. The three of us are naturals at playing Defense Force members.

Isn't there anybody else we could get to...

Those two are aliens!

Please play the aliens! For one thing, you two already wear cat ears!

Miss Yuriko, you're the princess who's been captured by the cute alien.

I feel like more like a maid than a princess.

And Miss Chinami here is a big boss of the cute aliens!

Why am I the only one in an animal costume?

Miss Chinami, you look adorable!

I'm not thrilled about this. I mean, what's the point of my cat ears?

So, what's my role?

You will be the chief of the Defense Forces.

But then, I don't need to be wearing something like this!

You'll be real popular!

I'll give it my best!

President, this is our chance!

Let's pretend like we're acting and take the badges from Mao-chan and the girls.

What? But that's mean!

President, whose side are you on?!

If possible, the good guys--

You're on the side of the aliens!

Miss Yuriko is in a pinch!

What a realistic performance!

Teacher!

Oops, that wasn't right...

Chief!

Huh? Uh... right.

Um, well... D-Defense Forces, defend the princess from the cute aliens!

All Defense Forces members, move out!

Roger!

The Unified Defense Forces are here!

W-What're they doing?

I think they've started acting.

Oh, I see. In that case...

So you've shown up, Unified Defense Forces...

However...

Without your Type 2 Gear, you're no match for me!

[Class 3-3 Step Stool]

Oh, no! [Class 3-3 Step Stool]

This isn't in the script, but she's exactly right...

Whatever shall we do?

You're asking me? What should we do?

If it's come down to this... Retreat!

Hold it!

Don't you care about what happens to the princess?

The princess becomes very weak if I breathe down her neck!

The princess!

Please, stop it!

Sure, I'll stop.

But only if you hand over the badges on your chest!

It isn't what's in the script, but it's a very effective strategy!

Come on, hand over your badges!

Mao-chan!

Mao-yan...

I am a member of the Defense Forces.

As a Defense Forces member, defending Miss Yuriko is what's important.

Isn't that right?

Mao-chan... You... You're right.

Yeah... You're right.

Good girls.

Mao-chan, don't worry about me! Defend!

What a realistic performance...

Now, please let Miss Yuriko go.

Mao-chan...

Girls...

Mee-kun!

Hayate!

All right, cute alien! We've found you!

You're under arrest!

Oh, no!

Step lively!

Uh... The thing is, I was only acting!

You cute aliens all say that.

Miss Yuriko!

Are you all right?

Yes... Thank you, Mao-chan. Thank you.

I'm glad you're okay, Miss Yuriko.

Yes, thank goodness.

Yeah, thank goodness!

Wait, wasn't this a rehearsal for a play?

You'd better brace yourself, 'cause you're in for a nice, long interrogation!

Help me, President!

Help me, Mao-chan!

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.

Here we are in Hokkaido!

I'm really looking forward to the Snow Festival, aren't you?

I certainly am!

There are bears up on snowy mountains!

People get lost!

It's gonna be rough!

The next episode is "Heave-Ho At the Snow Festival".

Next week we'll yuru-yuru on a snowy mountain!
