There's no going back to those days,
but I swear that now, I'll beat out your sorrow
I may not overcome it unharmed,
exhaustively marking the footprints
of the journey to meet you again
You once taught me that
the pounding of the heart is what drives us on
They haven't taken our future away,
and knowing that, I can go on
Just go on
As long as you smile, as long as you can sing,
that becomes everything that I desire
Wow
The courage you've given me, the kindness you've shown me,
gives me the strength to look forward and walk on
A dream...
We had a nap, and yet it still isn't morning.
It's possible that this world might not have a sun.
I don't think that's the case.
How can you tell?
I see a sunshade curtain over there.
Indeed.
Way to go, Syaoran. You're so smart.
Open the gate! I don't care who, just open up here!
Brother! Yukito-san!
W-what is this?
It looks delicious!
That's not what she meant, you know!
Fai-san, by any chance...
Mm-hmm, it's magic.
I am sorry if I startled you.
Everyone who lives in this land is able to use magic.
I am good at using magic that produces clothes, so I work as a tailor.
As for him, he excels at food-creating magic, so he runs this shop.
Is that not right, Former King?
I told you, drop the formal speech. And stop using that nickname, too.
Where is the harm? It is the truth, after all.
In this land, a king is chosen from among the people.
Touya has been the king before.
That's why you called him 'Former King', then.
Once per year, the people of this land all have the same dream,
and the person who appears in that dream becomes the next king.
But the king who was chosen this year
is said to be rejecting her role as king,
despite having entered the castle.
The absence of a king has brought about a great calamity.
Morning no longer comes to this world.
Is that right?
The endless night has gone on now for several months.
The source of our magic power is the sun.
But since the night has continued for so long,
we cannot receive the blessings of the sun,
and the magic power among our people is beginning to decline.
If these circumstances continue, in time, our situation will turn grave.
I do meaningless dances to make sure that doesn't happen!
It's you two!
You know them?
We met them in the land of Outo.
They were a lot bigger before.
What are you going on about?
We will take you all to the castle!
Where are we?
Welcome to the king's castle! I will do the greeting dance!
We are magic spirits, who serve the king. My name is Kotoko.
And I am Sumomo!
Why have you brought us here?
We need to speak to you.
Huh? To me?
You are a magician, right?
Eh? Well, that is true.
We want you to use your magic to examine the condition
of the one who would be king,
and convince her to take her place on the throne.
Oh? But this land is full of other magicians besides myself, right?
They have tried, but all of them failed.
That is why we have invited you, a traveler.
Please, use your magic, and save this land.
I don't know what to say. I would like very much to help you,
but I have made up my mind not to use any more magic.
Then, there is little else that we can do.
I will show you to the special guest room!
You call this a special guest room!?
This is just an ordinary jail cell, isn't it!?
Kurogane is like a wild animal!
Leave me alone!
Oh, Kurogane is scaring me!
Mokona, is there one of the Princess's feathers in this land?
I'll check, okay? Puu...
Well, Moko-chan?
Nope.
If there aren't any feathers, there's no need to stay here long, right?
What are those?
We're running across some unusual men again.
We will hold them up. You two, please escape on ahead.
But...
All right.
Puu!
See you later, everyone!
Chii!
Is the king asleep?
Mm-hmm. There wasn't any other way.
What will you do now, Fai?
Good question. Now that I have locked away King Ashura,
I doubt I can stay in this land anymore.
Or rather, in this world.
I have to go somewhere else- a world apart from King Ashura.
Chii...
That is correct.
She is Chii-sama, the one who was chosen
to succeed to the throne this year.
But it is no use trying to talk to her.
Why not?
Because her memories have been completely erased.
It is necessary for those who become king to have a blank mind.
As such, before one takes the throne,
all of their memories up to that point are erased.
But not to worry! On the day when they return the throne,
their memories are returned to the way they were.
She seems very sad.
Not true. That could not be possible.
She has no memories, so she cannot be sad.
Mokona isn't lying.
Her "sad" is because she can't leave this castle.
She actually wants to go outside the castle,
and have lots and lots of fun, but she's sad because she can't.
You need not be afraid.
My name is Fai.
Let's you and I be friends.
Fai...
Friends...
Chii-sama!
You mustn't!
If Chii-sama doesn't return to the castle, we'll be in a terrible mess!
In a fit of anxiety, Sumomo will dance!
We must leave no stone unturned to find her.
What's going on?
Syaoran-kun!
Princess!
Fai is in trouble!
We can't move forward, what with this many of them in our way.
I wonder where Fai-san could be.
I believe they might be in that shop.
Come, this way.
I'm sorry about this. There wasn't anyone else I could turn to.
Do not worry about it. More importantly, what will you do now?
I'm thinking of having some fun with Chii-sama,
until she feels content.
There is one thing I'd like to warn you about.
You do it like this.
It's hot, so be careful, okay?
Is it good?
How about we teach you some words?
Okay, let's review.
I... am... Chii...
You... are... Fai...
Yes, well done.
Fai... teach me... more... words...
Gladly.
Shall we go watch?
Fai, where do you come from?
From someplace far, far away.
Where are you going?
Where, indeed? I don't even know that.
I'm just definitely not going back to the world I came from.
Chii... doesn't understand...
You see, I'm running away.
Run away?
Mm-hmm. To make sure that I never see a certain person again.
Fai... seems sad... somehow.
Hmm? That's not true. See?
I... want to stay... with Fai...
Always... stay together... lots...
Thank you... for... today...
Maybe I'm the one who should thank you.
It's been a long time since I felt like this.
But still...
Created life?
Yes.
The ultimate art, permitted only to those who have mastered magic,
is the magic that creates life.
Chii-san, who was chosen to be the current king,
was made by the greatest magician in the land,
who possesses the greatest power.
There aren't too many like Chii, but there are some others.
They are also able to use magic,
and for the most part, look the same as the rest of us.
However...
Lives that are made from magic
cannot set even one foot outside this land.
Why not?
The magic that creates life is only effective within this fort city.
If Chii-san steps even one foot outside,
her body is likely to just disappear.
Does Fai-san know about this?
We've told him, of course.
As the successor to the throne, if anything happens to Chii-san,
this endless night will end up lasting for eternity.
We must prevent that from happening, no matter what it takes.
Puu! Syaoran! Kuro-rin!
Over there!
Fai-san!
The two of you came for us, huh?
Don't make work for us, you punk.
Sorry.
You saved us. Thank you.
You can't mean...
It appears that the gate has opened.
If Chii-sama goes outside, it's the end for us!
We must hurry.
Kurogane-san!
This way saves us a lot of trouble!
You can't go, Chii! If you pass through this gate, you'll...
Fai, come, together with Chii.
Chii will go on, forever and ever,
A sea of grass that I've never seen Chii will go on, forever and ever,
A sea of grass that I've never seen together with you, Fai...
Sways and stirs in silver, together with you, Fai...
Sways and stirs in silver,
A view of the boundary between dream and reality.
A view of the boundary between dream and reality ...running away.
A view of the boundary between dream and reality.
Is it so I can run into you?
Chii will stay with you, Fai...
Or is it for the eyes of someone yet unseen? Chii will stay with you, Fai...
Or is it for the eyes of someone yet unseen? Forever and ever...
Or is it for the eyes of someone yet unseen? Running away.
Parting the winds of my running away.
Parting the winds of my
dream scape.
The sound of the alarm clock is about to ring,
but afterward, the dream may yet go on
What's important doesn't change very much, no matter where you are
I'm sorry. You can't do that.
Even after I awake, I think I'll stay right here I'm sorry. You can't do that.
Even after I awake, I think I'll stay right here Why not?
Even after I awake, I think I'll stay right here Running away is a very painful thing to do.
Even after I awake, I think I'll stay right here With two of us, the pain will only be half as much.
Even after I awake, I think I'll stay right here With there being two of us, the pain might just double.
I think that might be what they call courage With there being two of us, the pain might just double.
I think that might be what they call courage
Chii doesn't understand!
I think that might be what they call courage Doesn't want to understand what Fai is saying!
(I believe... I deceive... I relieve... ) Doesn't want to understand what Fai is saying!
(I believe... I deceive... I relieve... )
It's too dark for me to see, that's all
in my...
Come on, let's go home. Everyone is waiting for us.
Fai!
Not wanting to cry, the hangnail of the heart that I'd left alone Fai!
Not wanting to cry, the hangnail of the heart that I'd left alone
has caught up to me now, and I can't catch my breath
The truth that I'd clung to now withers and falls in tatters
The endless night has come to an end, huh?
I can't see well right now, that's all Chii-sama came back safely. All's well that ends well.
I can't see well right now, that's all We are grateful to you, Fai-san.
I can't see well right now, that's all It wasn't me. Chii made up her own mind, after all.
Through the sea of grass that I've never seen
even if you were to go away
Farewell.
(I believe... I deceive... I relieve... ) Thank you, Chii.
(I believe... I deceive... I relieve... ) "Farewell"?
(I believe... I deceive... I relieve... ) It's something you say when you part ways.
(I believe... I deceive... I relieve... )
It means, "let's meet again."
It's too dark for me to see, that's all It means, "let's meet again."
It's too dark for me to see, that's all Farewell...
It's too dark for me to see, that's all.
Farewell, Fai.
Sittin' in the silence...
Everlasting night breeze...
Sittin' in the silence...
Dreamscape.
Farewell.
You haven't yet realized
that the two of us have the power to change even yesterday
For no reason, I'm lonely (lonely)
With tears streaming down my face
I'm missing my one and only (only)
The one I trace out in the sky, and that's you
Take my, take my hand, and let's go on together,
reach out, reach out your hand, and catch hold of the wind,
take my, take my hand, and do not be afraid,
hold my, hold my hand, and I can fly,
when I'm with you
Puu!
Mokona made a bit of a big mistake.
It looks like I dropped Fai and Kuro-pon off somewhere.
Extending a helping hand to help a troubled Syaoran and Sakura
is a truly sharp-looking woman named Suzuran-san.
Oh my, Syaoran, what's with that getup?
What kind of outfit does Syaoran change into, you ask?
Just wait until you see!
