A forest where anything and everything is big
The Eastern Woods?
Yes.
Why do you want to go there?
Luna suddenly said she wanted to go to the Eastern Woods.
That weird voice that only Luna could hear seemed to be callin' her.
I heard a voice!
Nobody'd gone to the Eastern Woods yet...
See you later!
...so because it was a good opportunity, Luna, Bell, and Howard...
...went on an expedition to find out the true identity of the voice.
Luna, are you okay?
Bell! Oh, so we fell down that waterfall.
But what they found was a strange world where anythin' and everythin' was ridiculously huge.
It's creepy...
.thgir eht ot nruT
It may've been a close call, but thanks to that voice...
...somehow the three of 'em were able to get away.
But anyways, the more I look at it...
...the creepier this place gets.
.daehA
What's wrong, Luna?
Did you sense something?
Which way? Which way is it from?
This way.
Let's go.
O-oh.
It's not a monster.
Don't surprise me like that!
Wait up! Don't leave me behind either!
I'll definitely fix it.
There shouldn't be anything I can't fix.
Does he think he can really fix it with those second-hand parts?
It's Shingo, so don't be so sure.
Alright! Now, if I just put this in, it should all work.
Well...
...how do you like this?
What happened to me?
It's fixed!
Mimi!
Thank you, Shingo!
It was simple enough.
If she breaks again, call me any time.
I'll fix her up right away.
Shingo really is a genius!
You're amazing, Shingo!
Skipping grades?
Starting next year, we'll be moving you ahead two years in school.
Two school years ahead?
Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry...
You're doing well in everything.
Truth be told, this is the first time I've seen a spectacular student like you.
You're the pride of our school.
Keep up the good work.
Okay!
If I bring this over here...
There's not enough parts!
I want to eat a lamb calzone.
Ouch...
Does it still hurt?
What?
Just a little.
But I'm fine.
Don't worry.
But I still don't get it.
Why can't anyone but Luna hear that weird voice?
Even I don't know.
But I can feel it... it's trying to tell me something.
Trying to tell you something?
It's possible...
...this forest where anything and everything is big...
...may have some connection to that voice.
What do you mean?
It seems like Luna can hear the voice anywhere since we came here.
Up until now she couldn't hear it anywhere but the lake.
...raeps ehT
In this forest...
...the power of the owner of that voice...
...has a stronger influence.
.thgir eht ot nruT
But I mean, what connection could that have with stupidly large monsters?
That much I...
If you don't know, then don't talk about it!
Until those three make it back, we'll work on the field.
I bet they'll all be really surprised!
May I be excused?
You didn't eat at all.
I'm going to the shuttle.
To the shuttle?
I'm going to see if there are any parts I can use in the communicator.
I'll go.
No, I'll go.
I think it's better that way.
Please do.
Shingo! Wait up!
I'm goin' too.
What happened to Shingo?
He's definitely acting strangely.
This is no sweat!
Help, I can't stop!
.yaw siht ,yaw sihT
We've really come a long way.
Are you sure we're going to be okay?
Don't stop suddenly!
What's wrong, Luna?
What's that?
It doesn't look natural.
So you mean somebody made it?
That much...
You sure don't speak straightforwardly.
What's wrong, Luna?
My head...
Luna!
What's wrong all of a sudden?
It seems she's had a headache since this morning.
You had a headache?
Are you okay, Luna?
Luna!
Snap out of it!
Are you okay?
Luna!
I'm fine now.
You surprised us!
Sorry.
What was that?
Anyways, let's get over there.
There might be people over there, after all.
Yes...
It's Pague!
Hello, Pague!
It's been a while. How have you been?
You want leaves, right? Just wait a moment.
There doesn't seem to be anything.
Maybe I can use this.
Isn't it impossible?
That thing's so complicated it'll be trouble the moment y'put it in.
Of course I know that!
I know, but...
...there's nothing else, so what choice do I have?
All this time, saying, "It's impossible, it's impossible."
Finding fault in everything people do.
If you don't plan to help me...
...go home!
I get it!
Y' don't hafta get so mad...
It's huge...
But it looks awfully old.
It doesn't look like there's anyone there.
Maybe they moved away.
Well, there's monsters, so it's no wonder.
Anyways, let's check it out.
We might find something out. Right?
Yes.
Alright!
We'll be able to go home to the colony!
Stop that, Howard!
Don't threaten it!
Shut up!
You think I'm gonna let myself get killed by a thing like this?
Hurry up and get out of the way!
Run for it!
Get away!
--Howard --Howard!
--Don't get separated from us! --This way!
Save me!
Stay away!
Papa!
Howard!
--Howard! --Howard!
Howard!
Are you okay?
Did I kill it?
I killed it?
I beat it! I beat it!
You both saw, right?
I beat this thing!
Yes...
That's it!
What are you doing?
Are you going to use it for food?
It's evidence that I beat this thing.
If I just told people so, they wouldn't believe me, right?
Hey, the backpack!
Well, let's go.
There was another one?
What? What did you say?
...uo hc...
What? I don't understand!
Are you okay?
!tuo hctaW
Watch out!
This way!
W-- wait up!
What's wrong, Pague?
Pague!
What happened, Sharla?
I don't know! He suddenly ran off in a hurry!
I'm going to check it out.
Kaoru!
Hey, I'm spent.
It's the waterfall!
We're saved!
Hurry up, Howard!
Howard, quickly!
You don't have to be in such a rush!
--Watch out! --Watch out!
Kaoru!
Sharla!
Hurry up! We can pull you!
Howard!
Move it, move it!
Pague!
Hurry and pull us up! Papa!
Pague!
I think we're saved.
Serves you right!
If you're frustrated, try coming up here!
Scissor-handed freak!
Chako, try a little harder.
I said more!
No matter what y' say, I'm doin' my best!
Chako...
That's it.
This circuit was no good after all.
Some civilized people were living here since ages ago!
Ruins?
I can't say so for certain...
...but it definitely wasn't natural.
There are people on this planet!
I thought it was too old, though.
Mysterious ruins in a forest where everything was gigantic.
And you heard that voice from somewhere in there?
I think so.
Let's all go there together!
We might be able to meet civilized people!
But there's such a huge crab in the way.
Don't worry about that!
I'll show that thing who's boss!
Eww, yuck!
What's that?
It's a machine!
What does this mean?
What was the meaning of the machine that came from the giant crab?
We don't know for sure yet, but at least we have a little hope.
Shingo'd been depressed lately, but he seems to've recovered.
I'nnat great?
But don't push yourself too hard, okay Shingo?
We all feel the same way.
Next time: I really want to go home.
