Cat Planet Cuties (あそびにいくヨ！)

She came to visit from far away,

in search of new friends and experiences.

Yeah, but nothing concrete yet.

...have been receiving for the last six months.

Sure, Jack.

If I find anything out, you'll be the first to know.

A message from the depths of outer space

might sound like something straight out of a B-movie.

But an investigation by the SDF,

The Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications, and ITU-R,

the International Telecommunication Union,

has verified that space is exactly

where the message originated from.

Relayed around the world in several different languages,

this message has been confirmed

to have the same meaning in each one:

"I'm going to drop by."

All right! Next up! Let 'er rip!

Good. You're ready?

What are you doing?

That Browning Nine millimeter you're holding

is a surprisingly cumbersome pistol.

I hear that if you do this,

it becomes temporarily unable to fire.

They're shooting at us; your orders, captain?

Fire a warning shot across their bow

and then order them to shut down their engines

and surrender immediately!

They're launching rockets at us!

I'm moving out.

Not yet.

People will die if I don't.

That won't change if you go.

I know, but it will change who dies.

Wait for orders!

Activate System 7.

Momiji! Wait!

Equip S-1!

What the?

Stop!

Their cargo's weapons and illegal drugs.

No one's aboard but the crew.

It's a covert ops ship.

Take control of it.

Roger that.

Now aren't you glad I insisted on coming aboard?

Equip K.

There's nowhere to run.

Surrender!

Trust me, that won't work!

Apport!

I said it wouldn't work.

What was that?

A UFO!

What the hell's going on?

No, don't!

Lots of military jets today.

Hope you got the party favors I asked for, Kio.

Uncle Yuichi.

Here.

Thanks!

Um, no offense but, should you really be drinking today?

AHH!

We're celebrating the anniversary

of our great-great grandfather's death,

and if you just grieve, they can't cross over.

C'mon, grab a brew and drink to the departed old dude!

Uh, no thanks, I'm underage.

Ah, who cares?

You're in high school now, aren't you?

Yeah, but.

Got a girlfriend?

No, I don't, at least not yet.

Get with it kid!

These are your golden years and you're wasting them.

There's nothing like your first girlfriend.

So come on, Kio, we're gonna go get you one, 'kay!

Right here and now!

No, wait a minute!

Uh-uh, you've waited long enough now,

so it's time to bag you a babe.

What about that one?

She's pretty nice.

Check her out.

Smoking hot figure, cute face,

and look at those ears.

What the?

No kidding. So did I.

A tail?

Well, hey, little lady,

can I offer you a refill on your drink?

Yes! Thank you for the tasty beverage, sir!

Uncle Yuichi, stop, what are you doing?

Are you nuts?

You can't give alcohol to minors!

You look underage, so I can't let you have this, 'kay?

That's fine. I'm very happy with these dishes.

They're all so tasty.

Such as this one here.

By what term do you call this again?

It's so delicious!

Oh, that's Taro Dengaku.

I've never dined on it before today,

but I just love it!

Like those kelp wraps.

And that rafute!

So soft and tender!

Oh, they really get me purring!

They're the cat's meow!

So then I guess.

You've never had Okinawan cuisine before?

Nope! But I'm glad I have now

because it's been so long since I've eaten anything!

Why's that?

I forgot to load food onto my ship,

so when I finally arrived, I was starving.

Luckily, I met a cat named Aura near the beach

and she told me if I came here,

there'd be good food and nice people.

Boy, was she right!

She was a real lifesaver.

That's funny, I actually have a cat named Aura.

Well, at least I used to,

until she ran away from home recently.

Pleased to meet you; my name is Eris.

Oh. Likewise!

My name's Kio Kakazu. Uh...

Is something the matter?

Um.

No.

Everything's great!

This is beer.

What the...

I'm home?

What happened to the commemoration?

The last thing I seem to remember is being there

and Uncle Yuichi offered me a beer.

He did the same to a girl in cat ears.

Then I managed to get it away from her

before she could take a swig of it.

But then I did!

Oh, man, that one swig must have made me pass out!

What a lightweight.

Better sleep it off.

Huh?

Meow.

Did Aura come back?

You! You're that girl!

Oh, no, did you injure your cranial mass?

Just hold on, okay?

You did.

But thankfully it's nothing too severe.

Hey. It doesn't hurt anymore.

That's because the device I just used on your head

is a tool we employ to heal injuries where I come from.

Oh. Well, thanks a lot.

You're red; are you still ill?

Uh, no, but do you think you could button up.

And maybe explain to me what you're doing in my bed?

Your uncle told me I could sleep wherever I liked,

and curling up next to you felt like the optimum spot.

Kio!

Manami?

Do you want me to get that?

No!

Just wait here, 'kay?

Oh, crap!

If Manami sees her, I'm never gonna hear the end of it!

Alright, just stay calm!

Think up an excuse and get her out of here quick!

Hey, Manami.

What brings you here?

Oh, I just had a quick question.

Who's that big-boobed babe you drunkenly stumbled home

with last night?

Wait, how'd you know about that?

Uh. I live across the street,

so I see everything that goes on around here.

I even know about the secret stash

that you hide under your mattress; namely.

Your porno.

So.

Do I get to meet this girl?

Tell me what she's like.

Well, to be totally honest, she's a little bit strange.

Ohhh!

I think I get it, Kio!

Some babe finds you attractive,

and you call her "strange"?

C'mon, have you looked in a mirror?

You're easy on the eyes.

Gee, thanks, Manami. But she really is strange.

You two got hot and heavy last night, didn't you?

Was it a night of unbridled passion, Kio?

Did she proclaim her love for you

as she smushed her pneumatic knockers together

and did she ask you if you wanted some fries

with her shake?

That's about how things went down, right?

I bet your mystery girl's still in bed right now,
