Let's build a house
What happened here?
Menori...
What a relief...
The shuttle's smashed to bits, and she's worried about her violin?
That's true, but who broke the shuttle?
Look!
This is...
...the monster. It was that monster!
Then the one who broke the shuttle...
Hey!
What are we going to do?
We have no place to sleep and no fire!
The fire watch was your job, wasn't it?
We made it in time somehow.
Alright! Way to go. Bell!
You're in a good mood, all things considered.
Camp here?
That monster might still be nearby!
We can't move at night...
...so we'll take turns at watch and spend tonight here.
"Tonight?"
It'd be better to leave here and move to The Great Tree.
Now that we've lost the shuttle...
...it's not safe here anymore.
We have no choice but to build a house.
Shingo! When can we have it done?
If Howard doesn't interfere, pretty soon.
What?
Stop it.
Anyways, we all have to cooperate and build it quickly.
We'll have to get a lot more logs ready to make into the floor.
And the ones this time were too weak.
It's gonna take a lot more time.
Hey...
...instead of logs...
...maybe we can use those.
Those would be plenty sturdy.
It won't take as long as cutting timber, either.
Right? It's a good idea, isn't it?
I dunno...
Why not?
Isn't it a good idea?
It was a good idea to have made Luna the leader after all.
Alright! First thing tomorrow...
Wait a minute.
How do you plan to move those wings?
Yeah, that's a real problem.
With everyone here dragging it, we barely changed its position.
Come to think of it, that's true.
It was too soon to be happy.
Your careless talk caused disappointment for everyone.
It lowered our morale.
That's the worst thing a leader can do.
You didn't hafta say it that way!
Sorry...
They're just right for the floor, though.
It's time to get moving.
What are you doing?
There's a lot we might be able to use.
For example...
This.
If we do this...
It becomes a pulley.
And this window...
...can be put in the house too.
I'm going to use this!
Can you carry it?
I'll definitely carry it!
It's impossible.
What's this?
Leaves from The Great Tree.
Do what you want with them.
Don't need 'em.
What are you doing?
I'm taking the embers.
If we have these...
...we can start a fire over there as well.
Somehow, it seems like a waste.
If we don't put it out properly...
...it could start a fire, which would be a problem.
That's a lot of trouble. Isn't there an easier way to start a fire?
If it goes out, we'll just get Bell to start another one.
Kaoru and I will look for strong logs and vines.
We're counting on you.
In the meantime, we'll be setting up pulleys with Shingo.
Alright!
Well, I'll take responsibility for the fire...
Here.
Menori and Howard, take care of food, please.
That feels good.
It's true.
An invigorating wind, the smell of the lake, and the sound of the rustling leaves...
Run away!
Luna!
It's super big.
What is it?
Ouch!
It's okay now.
You're okay.
What happened?
So you like these leaves.
Here.
You want more?
Hey! Look, look!
I caught them! You should...
Papa!
Wait! It's okay!
Are you okay?
You can't take risks like that.
That monster could smash you easily!
It's not a monster!
And you only say that because its body is big...
...when it's really a gentle creature.
But it's a fact that it attacked the shuttle.
That's because it wanted the leaves from The Great Tree.
Then it could have eaten them quietly and gone home, right?
But it got a piece of the shuttle stuck in its side...
That again?
And I suppose it said, "Pull it out please!"
I got a feeling like it was saying just that.
It certainly didn't try to attack me!
Right? You all saw.
It didn't seem all that gentle to me.
I was scared too.
And Sharla?
Even if it seems gentle, it's a feral beast.
You're safe because I shouted and chased it away.
Only an idiot'd run away when it heard Howard scream.
We're camping until the house is finished.
It may come again during that time.
I can't get that out of my mind.
If only we had the wings of the shuttle...
If that monster's really so nice, why don't you ask it to carry them?
I think it definitely would!
Hey! Are you serious?
Luna...
If it goes into a rage...
...it would put everyone in danger.
You're right.
I should just forget it.
Anyways, let's go to sleep.
We'll be busy again tomorrow.
If you sleep in, we'll leave you behind!
Good night.
Good night, everyone.
Bell, keep it at my pace!
We still haven't cut down a single one! Let's speed up!
Stop acting so full of yourself!
It's okay like that, right?
Finally got one?
Don't just watch, help!
I wonder if Bell and the rest of them are making progress.
I had Menori and Howard help him, so they should be fine.
Stay here. I'll get it.
Th-- that's a relief.
Thank you.
Luna! Sharla!
Were you watching?
Yes. I still can't feel at ease...
...but it seems gentle towards you.
But it's certainly large.
It seems like it might be able to lend us a hand.
Sorry for making you do something like this.
So big...
It's actually listenin' to what we're sayin'.
Are you full?
What's up with that?
Well, let's go.
Leave the orders to me.
Let's go, monster.
Move!
Mo~ve!
That's right, move!
Ah, you're coming this way!
Pull them forward.
Idiot, not behind you! What do you think you're doing?
Stop!
All you have to do is use your strength.
Thinking is...
Howard, shut up!
Calm down.
Over here! This way!
This way.
It's okay now.
Okay, let's go.
It worked! It moved!
Because Howard acted so stupidly, it's dented all over.
But it saved us the trouble of flattening the wings.
It's all thanks to me.
It was coincidence!
It'll be over soon, so bear with it.
It's got a weird groan.
It's ticklish.
Pague... you're Pague, okay?
Pague?
That's a name?
It's a calm and gentle...
...and cute name, isn't it?
Pague...
Pague, huh?
It might be perfect.
Nice to meet you, Pague.
"Pague"? You gotta be kiddin'.
Hey, is that okay? Pague?
Isn't it great?
That we could meet it again, and become such good friends.
Yeah, that's good. Just keep pulling like that!
It's amazing!
That's good, keep going!
Keep trying!
--Alright. --It lifted!
It rose! It lifted up!
Yeah, like that!
--That's good. --A little more!
More, more!
It seems like this is Pague's limit!
It's a little further.
Get it to continue.
Don't ask for the impossible!
Pague...
We're countin' on you, Pague.
Pague, please!
Pague! A little more!
It's up, it's up!
It's over.
You did it!
Pague!
Thank you!
It's finally done, thanks to you.
Pague, thank you.
You really helped us.
Nicely done, Pague.
You've really turned into Pague now.
Bye, Pague.
If you get hungry, stop by anytime!
Even on this planet, there are tame creatures.
It's like our number of friends has grown.
Our ninth companion...
Companion?
I am Menori Visconti.
I was raised never to show weakness or tears by my father, a member of the Space Commonwealth parliament.
My heart closed before I noticed.
But my life on this island...
...and the time I've spent with my friends...
...and the words she said...
...returned me to my true form.
