Mao Onigawara of the Ground Defense Force!

I will protect the peace of Japan!

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.

Apple, Tangerine, and Melon.

The Xth of O.

I was eating a snack with Misora-chan and Sylvie-chan.

This apple is so crispy and tasty!

This tangerine is nice and sweet!

This melon is melting in my mouth.

- I'm happy... - I'm so happy...

Help yourself, Kuni-chan. It's really good.

Is that doll named "Kuni-chan"?

Yep, that's right!

It's kinda raggedy, though.

That's because Kuni-chan is 8 years old, same as me.

So that means you've been friends since you were born, right?

Attention, all Defense Force members! Report to headquarters immediately!

Kiku Ichimonji the Third has detected cute aliens.

What's more, there are three aliens at once, a pattern we've never seen before.

What is being targeted?

According to the Observation Team's predictions,

one target is the apples that Aomori Prefecture is famous for.

Apples?!

Another target is the tangerines that Ehime Prefecture is famous for.

Tangerines?!

And another is the melons which Kumamoto Prefecture is famous for.

Melons, you say?!

Mao, defend the apples, my super-favorites!

Zylvie, defend the tangerines.

Misora, defend the mother of all fruits, melons!

- The apples! - The tangerines! - The melons!

F-For the time being, please go mobilize.

For the time being, roger!

Mao Onigawara of the Ground Defense Force!

Misora Tsukishima of the Air Defense Force!

Sylvia Maruyama of the Sea Defense Force!

Together, the three of us are the Unified Defense Force!

The peace of Japan...

...will be...

...protected by us, so rest easy.

Mee-kun, let's protect the apples together.

I won't let anyone take those tangerines!

I will protect the melons that are so dear to my grandfather and mother.

- Hey, hey, ho! - Hey, hey, ho!

Colonel Mishima, is it going be all right to let those three act separately?

We can't use the Defense Barrier!

According to the Observation Team's data, the three cute aliens are all mini-types.

Mao-chan and the girls are now more than capable of dealing with them.

I'm counting on you, Mao. If nothing else, defend the apples!

The tangerines!

The melons!

The apple is the symbol of youth!

Tangerines are good for preventing colds! The apple is the symbol of youth!

A simultaneous invasion of three locations.

An unprecedented, large-scale operation...

There's more to it than that, President.

Chinami-chan, what do you mean?

Calling Defense Forces Headquarters. This is Private Onigawara.

I've captured a chipmunk-type cute alien!

Excel lent, Mao!

I've captured a cute alien, too.

That's my Zylvie.

I have captured one, as well!

Wonderful, Misora!

What's wrong, Kiku Ichimonji the Third?

We've picked up a cute alien that's appearing on the surface of the sea!

What did you say?

It is the largest we've ever observed!

We were distracted by the three aliens...

Where is the cute alien headed?

It's headed straight for Defense Force headquarters!

It's what?!

Chinami-chan, what's going on?

Capturing Defense Force headquarters! That's the true objective of this strategy!

It may be cute...

...but it's just too big!

Bring Mao-chan and the girls back to headquarters!

I've issued the recall order, but they'll never make it back in time!

Defense Force headquarters doesn't stand a chance against such a foe!

Let's escape into the underground city!

Oh, that's a great idea!

Except... we don't have one of those!

Are you going out there, Colonel Mishima?

Yes. Yes, I am.

That thing is only 30% complete because of all our budget problems.

Be that as it may, I'm going out.

Mr. Ground is a lucky man to be loved like that.

This is for the sake of Japan.

Well, I guess I'll just leave it at that.

Attention, cute alien!

If you intend to continue your aggression,

you will face Blue Dragon, the ultimate Defense Force mecha!

I think it's working...

If I can buy a little time by intimidating our opponent...

...and hold out until Mao-chan and the others return...

Wait a minute! I said that out loud!

Miss Kagome!

C-Chief of Staff!

Curse you, cute alien!

You face Rikushiro Onigawara, Chief of Staff of the Ground Defense Force!

Y-You should evacuate, Chief of Staff!

I won't let you defend by yourself.

You are my invaluable subordinate.

C-Chief of Staff!

Your sweet words alone are enough for me...

I made it back in time!

Mao!

Mao-chan!

Apples, tangerines, melons, and Defense Force headquarters...

...will be protected by us!

Misora!

Zylvie!

Defense Barrier, engage!

Barrier Beam, engage!

Reflection Barrier, engage!

Restriction Barrier, engage!

Complete! Defense Barrier!

Unified Defense!

We did it, we did it!

Well done, Unified Defense Forces!

Thank you, girls...

The one who should be thanked is you.

Miss Kagome, thank you.

Chief of Staff...!

Chief of Staff! I brought you some souvenirs from Aomori!

Tasty apples!

Oh, smart thinking, Mao!

Apples are my weakness!

Tangerines, too.

And melons, too!

I see, I see.

I lost out to apples...

Miss Kagome is crying!

She must be overwhelmed with joy at the success of the operation.

Oh, I see.

Good for her.

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.

How do you do, everyone.

I'm the landlady of the traditional Japanese inn, "Hinata Inn."

I can't reveal my name, but I am the landlady.

Right, honey? Hey, where are you, Keitaro?

Next time, "Let's Go to the Hot Springs to Pass the Tokyo U Exam".

Next week will be yuru-yuru with a parody.
