The Secret of the White Fruit
Bring the towel outside to dry
lt's autumn high now
No need to practice piano?
lt's now Saturday afternoon, l can relax for a bit
Right, Maria, speaking of which, did your family send you anything?
Send what?
The weather is getting colder, lots of parents would send winter wear for their kids
Look, this one fits snugly
Really beautiful
Senshuu's mother is a really good mother
My family sent a jacket to me as well
You know too?
So it's a scarf
Yes, l just learnt it
l knew it at my first look, l haven't reached the state where l can give it away
Let's go
Maria, your father is busy, and hasn't sent anything
to you until now?
Yes, we have to hurry, otherwise we can't complete it by winter
You want to try knitting too?
Pigeon
Oh, oh no, Soso has less fur
Yes, Maria...
Pigeon
What's wrong? You want to eat pigeon snacks?
No, the fruits the pigeons bring is the same as those on Planet Nilulu
Pigeon, l beg you to bring me to the place of these fruits?
She said those were fruits from Nilulu, she just wants to go further
Memoru, you're too playful
lt's very far
Wow, the mountain cable car, it's too tall, very cold
lt's the lake, and boats
Where are you going?
Wow, this is great, pearl plum
lt's got whiffs of aroma, oh, l can't pluck it, it's too tight
So, the green one means it's not ripe yet
l still can't pluck it, oh man
Pigeon, will you help me?
Oh, it's become white
So quiet, eveyrone's concentrating on studying
check this dictionary, and you'll know if there are
pearl plums on earth
No... nothing
No records in the botanical dictionary at all
could it be just something found on Planet Nilulu?
Why was it on earth?
That's not strange
What?
lt's notjust in Nilulu village
Memoru, why do you say that, tell us quickly
lt's like this, when we go out to play
we would bring some pearl plum seeds
These seeds grow quickly, and bear fruit quickly
After eating the fruit, one becomes very spirited
When my grandfather came to earth he sowed it immediately
ls this it?
Look here, we're locked in this location
St. Noya city
Not bad, Memoru said she flew past this river. Where is she?
l'm heading north
From this direction
We saw some cable cars on the way
and then flew straight for the upper stream
Here, not bad, this is the place
This lake is known as Swan Lake
Ah, Swan Lake?
Right, once winter comes, lots of swans gather here from north
Wait a while more, the swans will come and pass by here
Not bad, it might be nearer to our mansion than it is to Nilulu
lt's on the way past them
That means to say, the swans which ate those fruits in Nilulu village
later kept flying towards Swan Lake
The seeds of these fruits
thus mushroomed around this lake
lt's really Nilulu's fruit
Not bad, just as Memoru says, the fruit we saw at Swan Lake
was the fruit from Nilulu
Pigeon, you must bring me here everyday okay
l want to pluck these fruits as a gift for my Grandpa
Lisa, Lisa, you'll catch a cold if you keep sitting there
Grandpa, that's not the wind, they're swans
Ah, swans, swans...
Where is mother? Grandpa
Those are just white swans
No
l wasn't wrong, believe me, swans are bigger
And they are whiter, Lisa, what are you doing?
Nothing, if the swans don't fly back, mother won't come back
Be good, but the swans will definitely fly back
Really?
Wow, these fruits are really beautiful
Memoru, what do you need these for
When winter comes, can we go back to Nilulu village?
Yes, about a month more
Very quickly, then l'll make these fruits
into wine for my Grandpa
Wow, that's a great gift
l know, Grandpa will be very happy
One always puts in more effort when doing something for a beloved
l'm really very happy
Good night!
l'm sorry that you have to come fetch me very morning
lt's true, it's true, Grandpa, there was a puppet on the bird
Grandpa, Grandpa, there's a bird with a puppet which flew by
Listen to me, there's a puppet on the bird
Lisa...
Go out and take a look
Lisa, listen to me
Grandpa can't make it anymore, l'm going to leave you forever
There's a letter and some money
Bring it to town, all right?
Don't stay by this lake by yourself
No, l don't want to, l want to wait for the swans here
Lisa...
Oh no, wait, l'll come back to save you
Orkas, you seem busy, just what happened?
Look at this paper
Memoru brought it back
Please help find Melissa's mother, she is Rachel, 19 years old
3 years ago she went to Paris and said she would return this autumn
Please help Melissa
Who is he?
There's a five year old girl and her grandfather staying near Swan Lake
Melissa is waiting for her mother's return
Her grandfather is seriously ill, l'll go take a look at him first
What are you going to tell the hostel head?
l won't say it, if l did, he wouldn't believe it
And he would ask how we knew it Wouldn't that be worse?
Orkas, why don't we go together
No, you have to stay in the hostel, and wait for Memoru to return
Tell you what's needed
Lisa is waiting for her mother?
Wait, Orkas, bring this for Lisa
Uncle, thank you, l'll stop here
Sorry to trouble you
l'll send you back later, wait for me here later
The first batch of swans this year
Who's there?
l'm a student here
come in
Memoru, hide temporarily
Welcome back, actually...
Uncle, l know the situation now
Grandpa, Grandpa, Grandpa...
Hey, you all right?
Lisa don't worry, he's a friend of Grandpa
Grandpa, the swans are coming back
lt's white, and very big
ls it's neck very long?
Yes
No, that's not a swan, it's a long-neck bird
No, it's a swan, mother will return
lt's a swan, swan, swan
Why did you trick him
Because l feel that Lisa's mother won't come back
That was 3 years ago
There was a case of thievery in this village
Lisa's mother was one of the suspects, and she eventually ran somewhere
when she couldn't take the villager's insults
My granddaughter Lisa and l moved to the shed on Swan Lake
Her mother once told us, the autumn 3 years later
When the swans fly here, she'll definitely return
l see, Uncle eat something
You're not eating... Oh, scarf
Hey, hey This is the place of swans
You long-necked birds, l never asked you to come
What? Look at you, completely different from swans
Memoru, go inform Maria,
l need some vitamins Vitamins?
Um, Uncle can't eat anything solid
but can eat some watery things, please hurry, hurry
l got it
What happened to Memoru and Orkas?
So tiring
Memoru, why are you in such a fluster?
lt's like this, because Uncle is weak
we need some vitamins Vitamins?
Something watery
How should l tell the doctor?
lf only we had some pearl plum juice
But, you said you wanted to refine them, that won't do
lt's the same to crush it into juice
All right, let me try, the fruits of this planet will
definitely be useful Good thing there's still some time left to mealtime
Put it there
Wait
Right, l have an idea, Memoru, help out quick
Add one again.
Just nice, a bottle, Memoru, is it enough?
Don't drop it, contact me if there's anything else
Why are the swans not here yet?
Memoru
The vitamins you needed
What is it?
Pearl plum juice
Pretty good, try it first
l just need it to be effective
Thank you
ls it swans?... No
Uncle, drink up
Grandpa...
Uncle, how do you feel?
l feel completely revitalized
You want me to send you off?
No need
You know of a girl called Melissa?
Her mother is looking for her
Pigeons, pigeons, is my mother back?
l know, l know, l understand
The body of pigeons are smaller than swans
l know pigeons and swans are completely different
lf this is true, Uncle you're a very kind person
Swans will fly from a faraway place
Pigeons won't move houses as and when
So you're not a swan
Pigeon, when you're grown if you become a pigeon
Bring my mother back
Lisa... Mother...
Although Maria asked me to bring it, forget it
l'll take it, to make it into a painting
That's great, great
Lisa can see her mother now
Her grandfather is recuperating in hospital, everyone's safe
Orkas, do l look good?
Very pretty, Maria
Thank you, l just received it
Her father chose it himself
So it came late
Hey, Maria...
What?
That scarf of yours Who was it for actually?
l won't tell you, it's a secret
ls it nice? Maria
Oh...
l'm sorry, l want it
l don't want to, give it back, l just learnt, it wasn't nicely done
Orkas, give it back
l didn't knit it for you
Mother and Big Baby
lnteresting, fat and white, how likeable
He's very naughty from birth
l never knew that you had such an interesting brother
Yes, he came just last year
l thought l wouldn't have siblings
l'm happy for you, what's his name?
He's Take
Take? That's a nice name
But, don't know why he doesn't play with me at all
He cries once he sees me
Because you seldom come back, he cried because he found you strange
lf this goes on, l'm afraid he won't be able to recognize me
Don't be too worried
My mother needs to leave for a few days for urgent matters
So l have to come home on Saturdays to take care of housework
At that time, you can see your younger brother?
But, he cries the moment he sees me
He won't cry after you get friendlier with him
Maria
What's the matter?
l'd better not say it
Just say it, l won't get angry
lt's useless even if l said it
As long as l can do it, l'll promise you
l'd like you to lend me your puppet
Ah, you mean Memoru?
l think Take will be very happy to see a puppet
Maybe he'll even play with me
No, you can borrow anything from me
but Memoru, l'll never agree to it
Forget it, l know that it's your precious puppet
l'm very sorry
No, l should apologize to you
Just treat it as l never said anything, l'm off
What a scare, Sisilia treated you as a puppet
and wanted to borrow you to play with her brother
Maria, let me go to Sisilia's house
What did you say?
l wanted very much to have a brother when l was in Planet Nilulu
Me too, actually l'm an only child too
lf that child doesn't play with me, l would feel very lonely
Yes, l understand how Sisilia feels
Please, Maria, let me go
l think Take will play with me if he sees me
But, after you go you must remember that you're a puppet, get it?
Oh, l'll handle that, and l'm confident, look...
Memoru, you're really...
Wow, l never dreamt that you'd be willing to lend me Memoru
Don't be too rough on her, got that?
l know, because she's your precious puppet eh?
Will you come back tomorrow?
Yes, all thanks to you, Take won't cry when he sees me anymore
Memoru, l'm counting on you
l wonder what will happen when he sees Memoru?
l'm so bored, open the pocket and see
Father... Father...
Oh, you're back, Sisilia
Yes, l'm back
Are you busy?
No, and Father?
Very busy
Mother? She's gone to Grandma's house?
Grandma's old illness is acting up, she went yesterday
Take, long time no see, l'm sister
Oh...
Take still doesn't recognize his sister's looks?
Look, isn't this interesting? l borrowed it from someone
lf you speak to her, she'll do as you tell her
Memoru, this is my brother Take
Ah...
Ah, this puppet is interesting, just like a real person
Take, you're too rough, you deserved to hurt your finger
Good thing you came to help, because Take is really too naughty
l can't rest assured if l don't look at him
Father, leave this to me, you go do what you should
You even promised her this? l think you're just being reckless
But, l reminded Sisilia
The problem is that kid
Memoru said she would treat him like her brother
Although he's small, but he's a few times bigger than Memoru
And he doesn't know anything
Will he do anything against Memoru
That sounds pretty reasonable
Memoru's grandfather let her come to this town because he believed in us
Sneaking around at the door, l thought there were wild dogs
chris...
You don't even make a noise with your feet, l'm the one who should say that
Sister's gone to cook in the kitchen, be good and have some milk, okay?
And, l'll put the puppet you like here
lnteresting, you didn't think
that l was actually not a puppet, but an alien from Nilulu eh
Because you can't speak yet, so l'm not afraid to tell you
From today onwards, l'll be in charge of looking after you
Look at me, although l'm like this...
Oh...
Sisilia, Sisilia, did you hear that?
Father, what's wrong?
l seem to have heard a girl's voice in the room
l think that should be Take
Really?
But l feel like it's the call of a young girl
Take, don't be too naughty, get it?
A puppet can't possibly call out, right?
That's true
Right, Father, l think you must be hungry too
l'll make some thing for you to eat
He's really happy
Hey, you dare bully me? Don't take my hat away
That hat is important
Hey, hey, don't... don't
come on if you can, l'm so angry, l won't be tricked
Take, why are you crying?
Oh no
Take, where did you throw Memoru to?
You really make me angry, Memoru is Maria's favorite puppet
l won't let you play anymore, you're so violent
l'm sorry
You took the puppet away, no wonder he cried
He was being violent
He appears to like this puppet
But this puppet... no matter how strong he is
Even if she threw it to the floor, it won't spoil so easily
lf it spoils, l won't be able to return it
Father, l want some dinner
Oh
Hurry, Father
Preposterous, inconceivable, almost lost my life
Take, do you want the puppet?
Father, time for dinner
Be good boy
Be good, don't throw me around
lf you do that again l won't play with you anymore
Ah... what is it
He's just an ignorant baby, l don't know what he'll do to Memoru
Just as Orkas had said, l was really reckless this time
lf something happened to Memoru, what can l do?
Tired of playing, asleep now
l've already changed his diapers, he even finished that bottle of milk
Good thing you came to help Father
lf l was the only one, l'd be in a mess now
All thanks to Memoru
Memoru? You mean that puppet?
l insisted on borrowing it
Sisilia, why don't you get your friend to give you the puppet
No, my friend treats the puppet as her treasure
ls that so? but Take likes her pretty much?
All right, close the lights, we'll go out
Good night, Take
Oh man, this is tiring, my baby isn't easy to handle
l'm so hungry
Oh, that scared me
Pretty cute
At least give some time l'll eat something
This too
What are you crying for, be good, ah, Memoru?
You're chewing Memoru's hat as a pacifier? Good night
lf this goes on, l'll really not have time to eat
come on, be good and drink your milk
Take didn't cry the whole night, and slept all the way to dawn
He's never been so good before
lt must be Memoru's help
And l couldn't sleep for the entire night
Sisilia, before your mother returns could you stay one day more?
No, l have to return to the hostel today
Just one day, if we can borrow that puppet it would be great
l've told her that l would return that puppet to her today
Borrow it for one more day for me
You may say that, but...
lf you pull the puppet away, he'll cry louder
Wait for me
Maria, it's me l'm not Maria,
she's gone to classes, so she's not in her room
Are you Sisilia?
Yes, l'm sorry, could you get her to the phone?
Please go get herjust this once?
Get me to get Maria? The students aren't allowed to take calls
from anyone else but their parents
Yes
All right, Sisilia, l'll give you some respect and help you put her through
Right, what do you want to find her for?
l'd like to ask her to lend me the puppet for one more day
What? Puppet?
Because my brother likes that puppet very much
Ris, please help me ask her
Right, hang on, l'll ask for you
Thank you, Ris
Sisilia, she said okay
Thank you, Ris, l'll bring it to the hostel before dusk
That's all
You want me to help you? You think l do things for free? Dream on
Good day l could borrow for one more day. Take, this is great
Before mother comes back, l can do my job in peace
This puppet, l'll send it back to you in a parcel tomorrow
Ah... parcel?
You scared me silly, we have to use a parcel?
Ah, send it back in a parcel? How could that be?
Because we use speed mail it'll arrive in one d ay
l don't mean the time
That's tough
You're too much, deciding this all by yourself
But, l called to ask you
called?
You didn't ask me before deciding, how could you do this?
You're always talking about the puppet, how long more is this going to go on
Now, l'm not your servants
Maria, why don't l bring it back to you right now
Wait, Sisilia, your pass has expired
lf you want to go out again, please make a new one
Right, l'll go
You'll be fired if you go out at will, you should know that
But, l can't care so much anymore
You'll do that for a puppet ls it worth it?
Don't go, Maria
lf you get fired from the school because of me
How could l stay in the school to continue my studies?
Problem solved if all of you don't go out
Maria, don't go
There are no buses now
Take, l can't be sent out like a parcel
Good bye, Take.
Take, you're very good, lend me the puppet for a while
The size of this box is just nice
This puppet is a little heavy, l have to wrap it up
Got it, got it
Take, Father has many things to do now, you be good
Oh, l thought l would have a chance to go away
Take, now's not the time to be singing
All right, all right, l'll sing for you
He's asleep, good chance
Sorry to disturb...
You are...
l'm Sisilia's classmate, Orkas
Oh, a student of St. Noya college
Because that puppet needs to be checked tomorrow,
otherwise it'll break down
So you made that puppet?
You could say that
Take is awake, please come with me
Don't cry
Where is the puppet?
Strange, it was here just now
Where did it go? The puppet couldn't have walked out
That puppet can walk
What's wrong, Take
l'd rather work harder than become a mummy
But l don't know how l can return to Maria
Ah...
Memoru...
Go away... Memoru...
Orkas
Memoru, l'm here for you
That's great, Orkas
The puppet walked out?
There appeared to be a malfunction
lt would be troublesome if it bit your baby
What, it can bit people?
Because it's spoilt
How could you say l'm spoilt, really, You should find a better excuse
The last bus is here, l have to make a move
Take, say goodbye to Memoru
Take wants to call my name, but can't speak it out
Looks like he can remember Memoru's name
Memoru, say goodbye to him
Take, goodbye, you made me very happy
Ah, so this puppet can talk
lf l just give the command, she'll talk
Take...
Memoru, it was all my fault
Maria, it's me
Memoru, it's you?
l'm back
l felt like it had become like a mother
You've become a mother for a day at the very least
Ah, you mean me?
Yes, all girls will have a day in which they become mothers
ls that so? Do you know what that means
Don't worry, there's still a long way to go?
But, Take is really adorable
Rays of Happiness
Wow, the weather today is good Ah Maria wake up
Today is Sunday, you promised you'd bring me out to play
Memoru
Morning Maria Today is a good day
Argh, so cold
lt's good weather today
Right Maria
What's the matter
l remember you said you'd buy me a present for Sunday church
Yes, the teacher said so
Everyone, christmas is almost coming
Just as before today, everyone needs to help with the presents
charity meet, Maria you're the first
Yes
The christmas tree and mistletoes are okay, just do them by yourselves
Yes
l hope everyone will stretch a helping hand to those unfortunate ones
and make them feel the warmth in this world
lt's not too bad to use flowers or leaves with aroma
What's this aroma thing
lt means putting aromatic flowers or leaves into a small bag
so that people can smell it
Then l'll go to pluck some flowers from the forest today
But it's hard to find aromatic flowers in the snow
Don't worry Maria, l already have something on my mind
All right l'll work hard
What is it Memoru
Right That's right Get So so to help me
Memoru
What's wrong
lt's like this l... l wish to practice piano today
Ah oh no, it wasn't easy to get a vacation
l'm sorry lt's all right just the afternoon
Okay, Memoru
No, we arranged for this beforehand You went back on your word
l'm begging you, just today
l was joking just now, go practice your piano
Thank you l'll be back as soon as l can
You must come back in the afternoon
Ah l know
l'll go now
Bye bye
Today is Sunday, actually you don't have to train so hard
Hey Soso l'm going to jump down
Watch 1 , 2...
Oh Soso go away
What's wrong, standing in the way
You cheated just now, you lose
Understand, Jump quick.
What, oh don't
You lose...
l just hope afternoon comes quickly
Why doesn't Maria come back sooner
Not anymore lt's just high jumping no matter how l play, not fun at all
Hey Memoru where are you going
Here, look the flowers are blooming
You see that?
Wow, how beautiful
Right What's Memoru going to do with these
l won't tell you yet
Why don't we go fetch her Soso you come along too
Soso
Really, l said l don't want to play high jump anymore
l told you Ris that you would be number one
lf you get first in exams this semester
you can have a meal with the principal
This is great
The test this time, l won't lose to anybody
l'm going to be first
With your abilities, Ris you can do it
And...
Look
Ah Hoodley drew it
l intend to send this picture to the principal
Ah You're sending it to the principal
Yes l heard that the principal loved Hoodley
Ris is despicable
Maria is focusing on her practice
l know, Maria hopes to have a meal with the principal by getting first
l can't disturb her, Soso let's go, we'll find some flowers
Maria you have to practice hard, don't lose to Ris
Meifen, what are you saying
l'm saying, that you don't have to give anything
You can get first by abilities alone
Because...
ln the class, everybody knows that l train hard at piano
lt won't do to let someone else get the first place
But...
lf She sends a better present to the principal and gets first place
What do you think l should do?
You dare say you never thought of it?
Or maybe you did
But if this matter of yours gets spread around
Others would say that you didn't get first place by capabilities
The white flowers in Nilulu really blossoms the whole year round
Go take a look
l'm back, Memoru
Memoru?
Found it, Soso
No You're so useless
So there was snow on the tree
Soso, where did you go
Ah There it is, Soso l found it
Wow, so many flowers, Maria will be very happy
Memoru must have gotten impatient and left
Oh no This isn't good
Maria
Eh lt's Orkas, Memoru went to the forest by herself
What
Soso where are you We're going back
Ah... Soso where did you go
l'm so angry... ah..
Memoru...
Memoru
lt's Soso
What's wrong, Maria
l hear Soso's cries
Soso...
Where is Memoru
Weren't you together
You got separated
What should l do, l wouldn't have practiced if l knew this was going to happen
Maria, we'll definitely be able to find Memoru
Don't scare yourself
l can't climb up.
Maria
Memoru
Memoru Memoru
The water's getting lesser
Memoru
Maria, l think Memoru must have returned already
lf only that was true, but...
lf she goes back by herself and can't get into the room she could be waiting
Don't say so much, just head back first
All right
She's not back yet
ls that so
Probably still in the forest
Memoru lf...
lf l really can't find you, what should l do
Ah Soso
lt's Memoru's hat
Soso where did you find this
Memoru
This can't go on, help me push it
Memoru Memoru hang in there
Memoru open your eyes, Memoru please
Memoru Memoru...
You're awake Memoru
Am l all right now
Yes, you're all right now
Maria Thank you for saving me
That's great
Maria...
l'm sorry, l had an appointment to go out with you, but...
l went out by myself, and made you worried, l'm sorry
Memoru because of my exams l made you worried
l should be the one apologizing
Memoru will always be more important than exams in my heart
Maria...
The exam is in the afternoon so l have some time in the morning
Wow, that's great
Right, after dinner we should prepare some presents
We'll use those flowers you plucked
Eh, right Those flowers?
Where did they go
Don't worry
They're here, look
Wow...
Memoru's pointed hat carried them
Good thing
Right, what do you intend to use those flowers for
Use them... ah?
Ah Orkas
Good morning, well Memoru, are you all right
l'm sorry to make you all worried
Maria went all around looking for you and got herself wet
Remember, don't go into the forest alone anymore
Yes
All right
Right, you have to quickly prepare your presents
Orkas what present did you prepare
Me, l wanted to make a rag doll like Memoru
Orkas you're making rag dolls again
l was kidding, all right time for me to go
Everybody get up
Maria's having an exam today calm down Got that
Yes
Memoru We have to hurry up and prepare the presents
Oh Right, you haven't told me what you wanted yet
Hey What are you preparing to make
Maria, don't you lose to Ris
Ah?
l don't know anything, because she's been training hard
But...
Go rest again after making the presents
Okay? Don't worry about my exams
Now we'll announce the top place for this year
Maria
This is great Maria
Ah? You said Ris was first place
Yes, Ris played very well, so you lost to her
She won by that painting
You know about that painting?
After the results are announced
You did well Ris, l hope you work harder
Thank you principal, right, this painting
lt's nothing, but please accept it
Oh This is something by Hoodley
That's why l took this chance to give it to you
Thank you, chris
Everyone, just what kind of an artist is Hoodley?
You know? Maria do you know?
lt's... it's a very ambitious artist who has overcome
That's right No matter how capable
lf the heart is lacking, it's useless
l hope everyone can train your abilities and soul
So that's it
But Maria you can't have a meal with the principal in the end
Doesn't matter, but l didn't work hard enough this time
But l have a Memoru who cares about me, right?
Maria...
Right, those candles should be usable
l don't know if they're solid yet
Wait, l'll go check
lt's okay, we succeeded
Wow, well, was it not well done
Memoru you did it very well
Wow, this is interesting
lt must be aromatic, when the sky darkens, we'll light one and see
This is great...
Wow, what a nice smell
This present of yours is really not too bad
lt'll become a hot item
Do you feel happy
Oh Right
Ah...?
Wow This is me? Maria
Yes, is it very nicely drawn?
Yes
lt's my beloved Memoru
Wow...
Babala Babala, Babala...
Where did that spade go
Master what do you need that spade for
Do you have to ask To dig the snow
Memoru is coming back soon, what if she falls?
What's so funny
Master l'm laughing at you
How could such newly dropped snow melt
You're really muddle-headed, it'll melt when the time comes
Two more days before Memoru returns
l know there are 2 more days
Don't say so much, give me the spade
Memoru is back
What is chief doing
Because Memoru is coming back, so he's very happy
Oh my Effort Effort
Effort Some effort here spade Effort...
Ah Go Hurry and go...
Hey What are you doing, help out with the snow..
That's great, two more nights before l can see Grandpa and the rest
This time, you'll be too happy to fall asleep
Really l'm so happy l can't sleep
Ah? Who's there
lt's me, Missy
Ah... Teacher Panny?
Going to fetch her away now?
Missy you're more spirited now
Excuse me...
l've already gotten permission from the school to help you pack up
l can pack up by myself
The journey this time will be a little further
Further? Where are we going
Because your father bought a new mansion in Glasgow
He intends to bring you for a holiday
Glasgow?
Yes, l've been there a few days ago
lt has beautiful surroundings, the air is fresh and crisp
lt blooms all year round, it's a good place
That means we won't be going to the Bilanlu mansion
Your father has bought a new mansion, of course we're not returning
That's bad, l won't be able to return to Nilulu village
Right, you're all packed, let me take them away first
Hey Soso...
Teacher Panny
What's the matter
Frankly speaking l still prefer Bilanlu mansion
So l hope l can spend my holidays there
Glasgow is much better than Bilanlu
You really want to go there
l've already helped you order a new piano
We'll go to Bilanlu next summer
l don't want to go there no matter what
Where is Glasgow exactly
lt's the south of the Mediterranean
lt's the direct opposite of the Nilulu village then
What should l do, l don't know what l can do
Eh, didn't Orkas say that he was going to Bilanlu
Right, Orkas said he would return to Bilanlu
This sounds pretty troublesome
Orkas, you're not going back to the mansion
Yes, l'm not going back
l suddenly decided to go to Glasgow
Do you have some mansion there
No, it's Ris' mansion
Ris went to our mansion last vacation
so she invited me to spend our holidays with her mother
Orkas, who are you talking with here
Talking to myself
Eh Maria's doll again
Because the parts are spoilt, she asked me to repair it
Hmph Already a teen and always playing with dolls
How childish
This is infuriating, actually l'm not a doll
What do you want
ls it true that Maria is also going to Glasgow
Maria's going too?
lf it's true, this is really maddening
Why does Maria follow us around all the time
She didn't mean it
A rare vacation and she just had to spoil it by making me think of her
You can just think of some way
You mean it
Yes, l think it would be better if Maria didn't go to Glasgow
Maria is going to the new mansion her father bought in Glasgow
l know Ris is best at breaking up other people's plans
You really want me to break it
Yes Ris go ahead and do it
Really? You really don't want to Glasgow for a vacation?
Yes
Orkas will be going to Glasgow
Your family bought a new mansion there, l don't understand
Why you don't want to go
because l like living in the mountains
You're lying, if you tell me frankly
l might think of a way to help
l'm not lying, it's true
Right, then the three of us can go spend our vacation at Glasgow
Ah, Memoru ls that you
l've heard what you all said
What to do?
How about this, l'll go back myself
How could l let you go back by yourself
l came by myself when l arrived here
That was because you were fortunate
You may be fortunate the first time round, but not the second
Then what should l do?
Aye, l really wish l could go to Bilanlu
lt's been a long time since l went to Maria's mansion
Long time...
Look, l can see it
Ah How weird
What's wrong
Look, those windows are closed up
Maria will be back tomorrow
l should clean up today
lt's been months since someone stayed
lt must be full of dust inside
She doesn't intend to return?
May be what happened to Meria.
What happened?
Grandpa...
What do you go
clean up only.
Sobido, How are Meria's mansion?
Here...
Do you clean up?
Yes...
So Memoru's room want to clean too.
lf so, how can let him know?
Yes...
Good for Meria can go to holiday in warm Glasgow
Sisilia here?
l must go to help my father at his farm. At Bilanlu village
Ah Bilanlu village?
What's the matter, Maria?
Sisilia, l have something to ask of you
Doesn't matter, l'll help you do whatever you want me to
Ah, Sisilia said she'd bring me there
Sisilia would bring me to the mountain mansion
Bilanlu village?
That's right
l asked her to help me bring some presents to Uncle
At the same time l'll put you inside
Really, that's great
Sisilia thinks that you're just a rag doll
She'll send you over carefully
What, Maria asked Sisilia to send some thing?
That's right Not a towel or anything, but the rag doll
Rag doll?
l suspect that there's something wrong with that rag doll
l've always suspected that
All right This time l'll tear her mask away
Hey How are you going to deal with Maria
You intend to go to Glasgow together with her
How could l go together with her
She'll leave immediately after arriving
Why?
You'll know soon
Ms. Ris
Miss Panny ordered a new piano here
lt's to be shipped to the new mansion. l'll send it there on time tomorrow
ls that so, you can send that piano to my house
l'll be waiting to use it
Ah... ah it's like this, Ms. Panny forgot to order
l'll send a new one over for you okay?
l said l would be using it you'd better send one right away
Yes... yes, but...
l'll try to send it to your house
l have a few friends who want to buy pianos, l'll recommend them to you
So l see, without a piano...
She'll go away even if she's there
This idea isn't too bad
Hah hah... Master seems to be happy today
Hey What's wrong
Really, Missy is coming back today
Ah Eh l almost forgot Ha...
Look at him does he look like he forgot
Nope
We have no heart to tell chief of Maria's mansion
Hey
Oh...
What are you doing here
The high class cat is here...
Go go it'll be terrible if he found out about Maria
That's troublesome
Ah What happened to Maria
l'll put you inside the plastic bag, then you can breath
There are bread and stuff inside
Why can't l go back together with you
l've told you not to mention about this
Then what about Soso?
Orkas will be in charge of sending it to Glasgow
Why don't l go to Glasgow too all right?
No, because l promised your grandfather
that l'll send you back before christmas
l thought l could spend my christmas together with you
l'm begging you, please follow Sisilia back
All right
Take care
Goodbye
Sisilia l'm counting on you
l'll send it to the mansion
When did you return
Teacher Panny will come fetch me soon
lf this is the case, then l hope you have a good vacation
Same here
Goodbye
Goodbye Memoru
Goodbye Maria
Ah Sisu
There's something l forgot to tell you
l'm sorry, l have to rush to take the train
l won't take up too much of your time
Hey Don't pull me
Why did you pull me here
Nothing, l just want to see what's in that bag
lt's... it's Maria's treasure
Let me take a look
No... no
Don't be like this, give it to me quick
These are...
Eh What are these
Bread and stuff
Are these for the doll to eat?
All right, just wait till l unveil everything
No No l'm begging you
Don't do this Okay
Give it back l'm begging you
Eh What's wrong?
This doll is still warm
Strip her and see
Look, this doll has a tummy
That's strange, l can't strip it
This is infuriating, why don't we just tear the clothes apart
Ah...?
Orkas?
Ris Don't you feel ashamed of snatching someone else's things?
lt was Sisilia who wouldn't let me see it
Maria asked me to bring it
Yes
Let me help you take it back
l'm afraid someone wants this thing
Orkas, l thought you were going to spend your vacation in Glasgow
l've changed my mind, l want to go to Bilanlu more
Hmph That mansion is dilapidated, you're going alone?
No matter how ugly the thing is, it's better than staying with a heartless monster
Don't talk nonsense, your mother'll scold you
Sisilia Let's go
Maria is going to Glasgow for her vacation did you not know
That's why l returned to the mountains with Soso
l'm bringing Missy together with me to Glasgow now
ls everything prepared
Yes lt's been done according to plan
But the new piano is yet to come
What? The piano should be there yesterday
Yes But the boss said there was no stock and would come a while later
How could that be You can't let them do that at will
Yes... yes l'm sorry
Ridiculous, why don't you send the piano over quickly
Ah... it's like this, some customers needed them urgently
so we gave it to them first
l bought that piano first, please send another one over immediately
But... we have no stock for you
We need at least one week
Ah One week? l won't buy anything from you anymore
Teacher Panny, what's wrong
Missy let's go somewhere else
Go somewhere else?
Your fingers will go hard if you don't practice
We'd better hurry back to Bilanlu mountain's mansion
Ah... to Bilanlu?
Eh Uncle chou is cleaning up
Yes, all the windows are opened
Masa is arranging flowers too
That's great, Maria is back
Maria must be together with Memoru
come in
Ah Orkas?
You're looking for missy? Anything?
There's something you left at the station, l'm just sending it over
Ah Sorry to bother you
l intend to send it to the mansion, but l'd better return it to you quickly
This is it
You like coming back to the mountains for vacation?
Yes l like places that are colder Sorry to trouble you
Following Missy again
Orkas didn't know that you suddenly changed your mind
This too
This is great, we're reaching Bilanlu village soon
Who are you talking to
Of course to you, l like you best of all
What? You like me best of all?
Memoru is coming back Memoru is coming back
l'm so happy so happy
Some ashes went into my eye
AH Grandpa let me do something like this tomorrow
Hey You don't have to bother about me, l love starting fires
Starting fires? lt's my first time seeing him start a fire
First time first time...
Oh l started liking it from today
Why do you say that l know you
can never understand the heart at all calm down
Hey l'm not worried about Memoru at all
ln that case, why don't you stay at home to wait for her
Because l can't start a fire inside
chief you don't have to be worried
Bubu has gone with Sobido to fetch her
l already told you l'm not worried
chief, Why are you always not speaking your mind
Don't quarrel Why isn't she back yet, it's so late?
