I heard a voice
'n there...
Shingo, is anything wrong?
Shingo!
No, nothing.
Really...
It's about time we stopped.
I agree. We've made a lot of progress today.
.emoC
I'm planning to look around the Eastern Woods.
The eastern woods?
Yes.
Why do you want to go there?
We haven't gone there yet, and...
...I heard a voice.
That again?
I heard it when we were attacked by the giant lizard too...
...and it had been on my mind ever since...
...but this time, I got a feeling like it was saying, "Come to me."
Sounds great. Let's go exploring.
No.
I'm going on my own.
It's dangerous on your own.
If you were going, how many people should go along?
I'd be afraid.
You never know what kind of scary creature might attack you.
The cowards can just mind the hearth.
Wouldn't that mean you'd be stayin' home too?
I'm not a coward or anything!
In any event, we have to investigate it.
I'll go.
I'll go too.
If Bell's coming along, you have nothing to worry about.
What's that supposed to mean?
It means that.
What?
The eastern woods are deep.
We'll have to build a raft somehow, won't we?
If we use the bamboo, we should be able to make one simply.
Thank you, everyone.
Alright! It's finished!
Shingo!
Sharla! Come here for a minute!
Have you come to?
You seem to be exhausted.
Please take it easy for a while.
Huh? That's strange...
Fine, once more!
Let's bring the map tomorrow and try to fill it in.
Yes, let's do that.
It's worthless.
Hey, welcome back!
We're home!
Hey, you made a bow!
Yeah, but it doesn't seem to be made that well...
Well, there's two days worth of food in here.
Thank you, Sharla.
Be careful. If you come across a scary creature, run away fast.
Will do.
We'll definitely be back tomorrow.
Until then, take care of everyone.
Right, I will.
And also...
Take care of Shingo as well.
Come to think of it, he's the only one who didn't come see us off.
He's probably exhausted.
He seemed to be in poor shape yesterday as well.
Very well. I'll check in on him as much as I can.
Well, see you later.
Alright! Push us off, Bell.
Luna! Take it easy!
Come home soon.
See you later!
Be careful!
This is the last of them.
Shingo, where are you going?
Just to the shuttle for a bit.
Don't you think you should be resting today?
I want to get the communications equipment.
I thought you couldn't fix it.
I want to give it another try.
If we don't send out a rescue beacon, we'll never be able to get home.
Wait! It's dangerous to go alone!
It's okay. If anything happens, I'll worry about it then.
Sharla, take care of the rest.
It got like this...
It's a tobihane!
Hey!
Look at that!
Alright, with the bow I'll...
Don't! Stay quiet!
That's a relief.
Do you hear something?
Not that weird voice again.
No...
This sound is...
...a waterfall!
What did you say?
It's a waterfall!
What did you say?
Right! Go to the right!
Luna!
I'm very happy, Luna.
It's a very cute embroidery.
Luna!
Idiot, don't!
Daddy!
Daddy, happy birthday!
Thanks, Luna.
Ta-da! It's a cake!
Me and Chako made it!
This looks tasty!
And also, here!
I made an embroidery so everyone can always be together.
This backpack...
...was a birthday present I got from your mother.
But from now on it's a birthday present from both you and your mother.
Me too, me too!
I guess so.
Both of you, thank you.
It's time to say goodbye to this room full of memories.
Daddy, Mommy...
This may be goodbye to this room...
...but I'll definitely come home to it someday.
Daddy...
Mommy...
Wait!
Luna, are you okay?
Bell...
Oh yeah, we fell down that waterfall...
My backpack!
It's right here. Here.
Luckily, it caught on a rock.
I'm so glad!
It must be a very precious backpack.
Thank you, Bell.
Where are we?
What a huge forest...
Hey!
Are you okay?
We're fine!
I'll be down in a second!
What's up with this forest?
I don't know.
Anything and everything is too big.
Anyways, for the time being let's follow the river.
You still plan to go?
Yes.
Are you thinking at all?
We don't know what kind of monsters might jump out.
That may be true...
Then, Howard, why don't you wait here?
What?
You... think I'm afraid, don't you?
No, that's not what I...
Fine. Well, we'd better get moving. Let's go!
But at any rate, these are huge trees.
What was that?
A beetle?
Over here, too!
They're a little creepy.
The insects in this forest are huge.
Wait a minute. That means there might still be huge animals?
Hey, don't tell me...
Stay away!
Stop that!
It bounced off...
Help me! Papa!
Let's run for it!
It's here!
Just a little closer and I could have killed it!
It's like this because you shot even though I told you to stop!
But if it had been on target, that much power could have killed it!
Yeah, that last arrow definitely had a lot of power!
Yeesh! Bell, even you're saying that!
.thgir eht ot nruT
This way!
It's a dead end!
What was this way?
Down?
We're jumping off!
I'm sick of this lifestyle!
Seems like we'll be safe here.
After giant bugs there's a giant boar?
This forest is definitely weird!
That's certainly true.
And when we jumped down the cliff, I felt as though my body had become lighter.
I thought so as well.
What's going on in this forest?
Oh yeah. Howard, here.
You almost left it in front on the boar.
It's none of your business!
Howard, you shouldn't speak that way!
In your hearts, both of you think I'm a coward.
That's not...
I'm just a coward who can't fire a bow!
Anyways, it'll be dark soon.
Let's look for somewhere nearby where we can camp out.
I'm home.
Welcome back.
The communications equipment? Want I should help too?
I'll do it by myself.
Maybe deep in this forest, there'll be an answer.
The eastern woods is more than we imagined.
Sure is. It's full 'a big trees 'n giant monsters come out -- it ain't a place I'd like to go.
But as long as that voice keeps calling out to me, I feel like I have to keep going.
I wonder where the person who goes with that voice is.
Wait for us. We'll struggle on until we get there.
Next time: A forest where anything and everything is big.
