Big Love From Ultra Deep Space ch1: Visitor From Space

Destiny comes from far away...

That night,
I could see the stars clearly.
What is that...?
That huge star...

!
Your Highness.
Is something wrong?

...Just now,
our eyes met.

p2-3

I am going
to become their bride.

The highly praised oneshot becomes a serialization!!!!
How do I look in your eyes? A youthful girls love crossing galaxies begins.

Attention all students.
An emergency schoolwide assembly will be held during first period.
All students, please gather in the gymnasium immediately.
Eh~ What's this?
Did something happen?
Who knows.

But it's pretty lucky that there's no first period~
Eh~ They're just gonna dump something else on us.
I hate that~
I guess~ ...Hey, wait!
Behind you!
Eh?

I-
I'm sorry...
...It's fine.

Geez, what're you doing...?
...Hey.
Who was that!?
She's super pretty and tall!!
And totally cool, right!?
Ah, that girl?
She's Teradate-san from our class.

She's certainly cool,
but she's always alone and never seen with anyone else.
She's kinda hard to approach? Gloomy? She's, I dunno...

one of those people who you can never tell what they're thinking.

I'm getting nervous....

My voice wouldn't come up...
That's what happens when you don't speak to anyone in so long...
Teradate Ten. Aged 16. High school 1st year.

In the six months since I entered this high school where none of my middle school classmates are,
I've barely been spoken to, let alone made any friends.
I'm always alone at school.

Getting involved with people
is scary.

If I'm going to be scared by the chance that we'll end up hurting each other,

then it's better to be alone.

Hey, did you see that thing Shun put out last night?
Eh? Crap. I don't think I did.
You can watch it on the app if you missed it.
Check it out later.

I haven't watched TV or looked at my smartphone in a while either...
Ah, I can see the moon...

I feel at ease when I detach myself from the world.

Getting involved with someone
and thinking "I want to be understood"

p10

is surely a wish that's beyond my reach.
Ahem. Everyone!
Good morning!

Sorry for calling you so suddenly.
The principal's as loud as ever today.
Yeah.

I'll cut straight to the chase.
I'm sure
that you all know about the UFO that landed on Earth last month.
...Eh?

p11

Some of the kids in class have been saying stuff like that too, but...
What? Is this some kind of prank...?

The UFO had aliens fon board.
Earth received visitors from another planet.

They landed on Earth so we could exchange culture with each other's planets...
Everyone's so calm...
Eh? Is this for real...?

...And our school,
now welcomes one of these aliens as an exchange student.

p12

It is nice to meet you, everyone.

p13

I am the 13th princess of the planet Anukamula.
My name is Lulucielamo Mocophishim Klasslamonira.

As part of an exchange between my planet and yours,
I have come to Earth as a bride.
What is that? A tail...?
Also, how tall is she...!?

It's really an alien...
I am honored to study in the same building as all of...

p14

Ten-sama!
!?

Did she just call my name...!?

Eh?
She's coming this way...

You're Teradate Ten-sama, correct?
It is an honor to meet you!
?
Eh?
Wait...

p15

I am so happy to become your bride.
I may be inexperienced,
but please take good care of me!

...Hu-
HUUUUH!?

p16

Well, there you have it...

...
Erm.

Sorry, Teradate-kun.
I'm just as confused as you are right now...
So this isn't all some prank...?

For starters, what is all...
Allow us to explain.

p17

Who?
A pleasure to meet you, Teradate Ten-sama.

Here is our card.
"Governmental Interplanetary Friendship Association"...?

As explained in the assembly, Princess Lulucielamo is here as a bride
in order to exchange cultures between our planets.

And you, Teradate-sama, has been chosen as her marriage partner.
WHY!?
That's the part that makes the least sense!
That

is because our eyes met, Ten-sama.

p18

...Our eyes met...?
Based on your Earth calender, it would've been the start of last month... I suppose?

When your eyes looked up until space, Ten-sama,
they met with mine.

Wait...
You're from a different planet, right!? Just how far do you think that is...?
I suppose it is a different sensation to what you would normally call "seeing"...
Would "observing" be a more understandable term?

Besides, even if we were just looking one-sidedly,
the chances of us observing each other are astronomical.

p19

It was then
that I wanted to see you, Ten-sama.

To become your bride,
I would go to where you were...
...E-

Even if you tell me that...
Sorry, may I cut in for a moment?
Teradate-kun.

Did you not give your approval to becoming her bride?
Eh?
No...

p20

I had literally no idea...
Eh?

"Eh"?
For starters, I rarely watch TV or look at my phone,

so I had no idea that a UFO had even landed here...
Ah.
Um...

I was told
by the government people that Ten-sama had given her approval...
!?

So was I.
It's why she chose to study abroad at our school, which Teradate-kun attends...
...

p21

...Teradate-kun.
I'm sorry, but could I ask you
to escort Klasslamonira-kun for the rest of the day?
Eh?

I'll be using that time
to have a little discussion.
Between adults.

I'll call you before school's over!
I'm really sorry, but I'm counting on you!

...
Wh-...

p22

What do I do...?

...I went with the flow and brought her along, but...

Asking me to escort someone so suddenly is a problem...!
Why me...!?

It doesn't matter if they're Earthlings or aliens.
Getting involved with literally anyone is just...
Hah...
Hey, go talk to her.

p23

Eh~ No way!
It's a princess, after all!
Besides, everyone seems interested in this girl,
so there's no need for someone like me to get involved...
Ah!

Sorry, the ball's heading your way!
!
I'll get i-...

p24

Kyaaah!
What was that noise!?
Sensei, the ball
just exploded!
I'm so sorry!!!
Waaaaaah

Home Economics Room

Now take the peeled potatoes
and warm them up in the microwave.
Okay.

Is she gonna be okay...?
Well, it's just pushing a button...

p25

!?

What happened!? (Teacher)
I'm so sorry!
The microwave just-
Are you hurt!?
I-I'm alright!

Biology

The frogs that were meant for dissection!
Kyaaaah
Uwaaah
Why!? They suddenly started moving!

Sensei! There are butterflies everywhere!
Uwaaaaah
Wah~
Kya~

p26

...Th-...

They're totally afraid of her...

Back away~

She reminds me
of that big neighborhood dog when it gets scolded...
Hey now!

p27

That explosion was crazy, huh...
Honestly pretty scary, right?
Aliens really are kinda...
I thought you wanted to talk to her?
No way, nuh-uh!
There's no telling what'll happen.

...
...Well, that's to be expected.

But this girl...

p28

She doesn't look like she was trying to hurt anyone.
Even now, she's all curled up and apologetic.
There's no way she has any ill...

No no no!!!

Why am I making assumptions?
For starters, I only got caught up in this mess.
What this girl thinks has nothing to do with me...

Nothing to...
...
~...

p29

I'm gonna eat lunch elsewhere.
Let's go together.

Eh? Ah.
O-Okay.

Wait for me, Ten-sama~!

p30

I brought her with my on impulse...
What now...?
Ah!
Um!

Eh?
Ah.
What is it?
Erm...
Um...

...Are you
not afraid of me, Ten-sama...?

...

...Certainly,
I'd be lying if I said I wasn't scared,

p31

but to me,
you don't seem like someone malicious
who would try to hurt others.

I didn't want to just decide you were someone scary.
...That's all.

Come on, take a seat.
...Oh yeah, where's your lunch?
Right! Erm...
...

p32

I forgot it...
Eh!?
In the classroom?
No, I forgot to bring it period...
Eh!?
But I'll be fine!

I can skip just one meal-

I'm sorry! I'm sorry!
Please pay it no mind!
That's quite the growl...
Bringing her to the cafeteria... is probably a bad idea right now...

Hey, um.

p33

Wanna eat this?

...
Eh...?
Eh?
O-

Oh crap! Is this considered rude on this girl's planet!?
This isn't even something you do on a first meeting is it!?
But she doesn't know how to use chopsticks, so...
I-
I had a lot of leftovers from yesterday...
You don't have to if you don't want...

p34

!?

...It's...

p35

It's really delicious...!

Did you make this, Ten-sama!?
Eh?
Ah, yeah...
How splendid!

So you're good at cooking, Ten-sama!
I wouldn't say I'm good or anything...
You are good! This is so delicious!

I love this flavor!
I've never tasted anything like this on Anukamula...
...To be honest,

p36

I was scared when she said "our eyes met".
But this girl,
compared to what I thought she'd be,
is just a normal girl...

p37

...If you liked it that much,
how about this?
It's an omelette.
!?
I couldn't possibly!!
She says that, but she looks really happy...

It's over...
I can't tell if this was a long day or a short one...
Ten-sama!

All of today's classes have ended, correct?
Good work today!
Ah... Yeah.

p38

She's been all smiles since lunch break ended...
She was so bummed out before...

Well, people are still afraid of her, though.
...Ah.

Come to think of it, the principal said she'd call us before school was over.
I guess we should head on over to her office.

?
What's up?
Ah, it's nothing.
Let us be off!

p39

I wonder what that adult discussion the principal mentioned was about.
She must've been mad that I didn't know the details of this marriage...

...Are they gonna call off the marriage?

But if that happens, will this girl

have to go back to her home planet...?

With everyone still assuming that she's a scary alien
with no telling of what she might do...?

p40

Ten-sama?

What's wro-...

Ah~!!!
!?

There she is!
The alien!
Eh? For real!?

Erm...
Good day to you...?
She even says "good day to you"!
Your Japanese is good!

Even better than ours.
Ahahahaha

p41

Did you need me for something?
More like... I wanted to talk to you.
We're in seperate classes, so I couldn't find the right timing~

!
My! I appreciate it!

I was wondering what kind of alien you were,
but you're totally cute.
The pink really suits you~
Yeah, I know.
I-I'm not that cute, but
it's an honor...!
"It's an honor" she says! Talk about stiff!
Ahaha

Hey, so like,
I saw on the internet...

p42

Is it true that you're here to invade Earth!?

...Eh...?
Eh~ What the heck!?

I saw it in this video.
It's that thing where aliens brainwash the Earthlings so they can invade.
Super scary, right?

...N-
No, I wouldn't...
And like, I heard she blew up a ball and a microwave today.
The heck? For real!?

p43

I dunno, but I guess it's alien power or something!?
Eh~ That's so scary~!
...Ng
Ah...

You're not gonna wash our brains, are you~!?
Ahahahaha
...

So what?

p44

Who's gonna believe you?

Ahahaha
Geez~ Shut up already!

p45

It's the people who say stuff like that who get brainwashed first!
Eh~ No way~!

See~ She's all quiet now.
Eh~? I said I was sorry.
So like, I'm curious!

Is that growing out of you?
Is it a tail or something?
It's not clothing, is it?

It keeps on moving...

p46

She's big...
...Eh? What?

...Y-...
...You shouldn't go around touching someone's body without asking
when you've only just met them...

p47

Maybe you're not doing this out of ill will,
but that doesn't mean
you can just go saying...
stuff like invasion and brainwashing.

Instead of going off what some stranger says,
take a proper look at the person in front of you.

p48

...
Erm...

Sor-
I-
I'm sorry!!!
Ten-sama!?

Argh geez. Why did I run off?
After talking so big...
But still,
letting them run their mouthes when they don't know anything is...

p49

...No.
That's not it.
I....
Hey, did you hear about Teradate-san?

I did, I did.
...Stalking, right?
Holy cow.

I didn't do it!

Look here, Teradate-san.
Even if you didn't mean too... these things happen, y'know?

You're taller than the other girls in your year,
so they get scared before they even realise it... It happens a lot.

p50

Some prince you turned out to be.
You're a creep.
Stay away from us.

I simply couldn't forgive myself
for letting my own bad memories pile up and getting mad about them.
I'm the worst...!
Ten-sama!

p51

Ten-sama!!

Ah.
Oh crap.

p52

...
...?

!!!

I'm floating...!?
I'm sorry for touching your body!
Without asking!
No, um,
this was an act of God, so...

p53

Thank you.
You saved me.
N-Not at all!
I'm the one who needs to thank you.
Thank you for covering for me just now.

...You're so kind, Ten-sama.

...

...That's not it.

p54

I'm not
someone who deserves to be called that.
I don't want people to know
what kind of human
Who's gonna believe you?
I really am.

I'm gloomy.
I get gossipped about in class...
Even just now, I jumped in like that
just because I would've hated having that done to me...

p55

So...
!

...What I know about you, Ten-sama,

is that you don't fear me, an alien,
you don't ridicule me,
you don't treat me differently,

p56

and you're a kind person who shares her delicious lunch with me.
That is all.

...Hey, Ten-sama.

Did you know
that a person's appearance
can vary depending on the being observing them?

p57

The world someone sees,
may not be the way you wish it to be seen.

It is quite painful,

for both the observer
and the observed.

That is why I don't want to give up
on learning about you.
I want to know more about you, Ten-sama.

p58-59

I've travelled an astronomical distance
to see you, after all.

p60

That being said,
with all the trouble I've caused you, Ten-sama,
I might just be a nuisance...

Getting involved with people is scary.
If I'm alone, I won't get hurt.
But...
...To be honest,

I'm still confused,
but I don't want things to end
when I still know nothing about you.
...So,

p61

...Even if it's only temporary,
would you be my fiancée?

!
O-...

Of course!
If you're okay with it, Ten-sama, then gladly...!
In this infinitely expanding universe,

Once again, please take good care of me,
Ten-sama!
...Same to you,
erm...

p62

Please!
Call me Lulu!
you found me,
so I wanna know about you.
