Not alone
Because everyone worked hard at building a house at the top of The Great Tree...
...a water-drawing device, a living room...
...the boys' room...
...the girls' room...
...a kitchen and washroom...
...and on top of that, a laundry...
...and then, the shower room that everyone wanted, were all made.
And finally, a front door.
And thus, Everyone's House was completed.
Since then, two weeks have passed.
Alright...
No matter how far we walk, there's not even a single fruit.
We've searched all along our food map.
Maybe we've depleted it all.
I'm so hungry.
And we just finished the house.
What are we going to do from here on out?
Instead of just complaining, suggest an alternative.
Kaoru...
Where did you go?
Going off alone again, you're so independent.
And we went through so much trouble searching for food.
It's food!
Alright! It's dinner!
I'm thankful, but you were supposed to leave the food supply to us.
We're not going to applaud you for grandstanding.
Luna, what do you intend to do?
Well, well...
Thank you, Kaoru.
Everyone's hungry, so we'll gladly accept them.
Where did you find these?
Let's add it to the food map.
So, where was it?
There's none left. It's pointless to go there.
What's up with that?
There's really nothing?
You're not trying to get a monopoly, are you?
Stop it!
Anyways, we know that we have to search somewhere other than where we've already been.
That's right. Tomorrow, let's split up and search in places we haven't tried yet.
Yeah, yeah! There might still be lots out there.
What are you doing?
I think these might be tubers.
Look.
It's true!
Are there more down here?
There are!
Wow!
Yeah, but who dug these up before we did?
This is bad...
These are his feeding grounds.
Run for it!
You don't hafta get so mad!
Don't tell me you want 'em all!
He's pretty covetous.
Well, we'll just let 'im wait there a while.
They're not coming in.
Kaoru...
Don't worry.
When you catch them, you sure catch a lot.
It makes yesterday hard to believe.
If we'd known you'd catch so many fish, we wouldn't have had to go searching for food.
Hindsight is 20/20.
Nothing comes from saying that.
Hey, let's eat already!
Looks tasty, looks tasty!
We'll wait until Kaoru comes back before we eat.
I wonder where he went.
We don't have to wait for him.
Where did you go?
Again?
Everybody worries about you...
...stop going around on your own.
We hadn't caught any fish by the afternoon.
That's how long I wait every day.
Do you plan to make excuses for leaving Sharla behind?
But anyways, lookee! There's a huge crop today!
I wonder if we can even eat this much.
Did you get a little caught up in the moment because everyone was so pleased with you yesterday, Kaoru?
Anyways, he came back safely...
...so let's eat up.
I'm going to clean these.
Don't! Let's eat together!
What's up with him?
Here.
Are you thinking about what I said?
I don't want you to make everyone worry.
That's all it is.
You have nothing to worry about.
And besides, people who can actually worry deep down in their hearts...
...don't really exist.
Why would you say something like that?
If that were true...
...if we didn't worry about each other...
...how do you think we were able to cooperate up until now?
Kaoru, you've helped us out, and we should all help you out as well.
That's just what everyone did of their own volition.
Anyways, from now on, don't go around by yourself.
Swing it more forcefully!
It's not a matter of just trying hard.
Look, it's crooked!
Change the angle more.
Wrong!
Shut up!
We're finished.
If we can cultivate the potatoes, things will get a little easier.
I'm tired!
Luna!
Let's take a little break!
You're right. Everyone, let's rest a while.
What's that?
Papa!
Everyone! Get in the house!
Howard!
Papa!
Howard, now!
That was close!
As long as we're here, we don't have to worry about him attacking us.
What's he doin'?
It's dangerous! Come back!
Stop it! Kaoru!
Kaoru!
Luna...
This way!
Hurry!
More grandstanding?
It's impossible by yourself.
You even put Luna in a dangerous situation.
Not just that, but the giant lizard is going to stick around.
It's your fault!
But I'm glad you're safe.
If we don't dress that...
I'm fine.
Kaoru!
The bleeding will stop soon.
I don't need it.
Be quiet.
That was reckless. He's not an enemy you can defeat.
It's fine. It's my choice.
Idiot!
You have to treat your life as something precious!
If you think you've lived this long on your own, you're gravely mistaken!
Luna...
Stop that! Stop-- oh...
He got it.
It looks like he plans to stay after all.
What do we do?
Can we stay up here forever?
It looks like we've no choice but to exterminate it.
How will we pull that off?
It won't do just to hurt him.
Staying like this is better than that.
I don't think we have any alternative.
Bell...
Even if that monster leaves today, he'll come back.
So you're saying that eventually we'll have to exterminate it anyways?
Are you sure this will work?
Let's try it!
Ready.
Once more!
Now!
Cut the rope!
Hey!
We did it!
Get away!
Luna!
If you're going to eat someone, eat me!
You have to treat your life as something precious!
She's...
...thgir ruoy ot raeps ehT
Kaoru...
Luna... people like you...
Thank you...
Luna...
Luna!
Luna! I'm so relieved!
Kaoru...
If you hadn't gone, Luna would...
...by now...
Who's the most reckless after all?
Again, Luna?
So? What did you hear this time?
"The stone spear is to your right."
Luna said she heard it, so it must be true.
You're all hopeless romantics.
The uncouth Howard's just sayin' that 'cuz he didn't hear it.
What?
I think it's ready.
We finally had that much meat and fish.
In the end, it's just potatoes.
It looks tasty.
Complainers don't hafta eat.
I wasn't complaining!
I'll have some too.
Give me a little more.
You're not gettin' just potatoes!
Anyways, let's hurry up and eat!
You're right! Well, then...
A toast to the chef!
Something is calling out to me.
"Something?"
I have to go to the eastern woods!
Huh? What'cha doin' all of a sudden?
Goin' somewhere we ain't been yet?
Well, will you be okay?
I don't know that, but I feel that we'll find something out if we go!
Really...
Alright! Be careful 'n come back safe, Luna!
Next time: I heard a voice.
