There's no going back to those days,
but I swear that now, I'll beat out your sorrow
I may not overcome it unharmed,
exhaustively marking the footprints
of the journey to meet you again
You once taught me that
the pounding of the heart is what drives us on
They haven't taken our future away,
and knowing that, I can go on
Just go on
As long as you smile, as long as you can sing,
that becomes everything that I desire
Wow
The courage you've given me, the kindness you've shown me,
gives me the strength to look forward and walk on
I found a book at the library.
Within that book was inscribed the past of someone that I know well.
I did it!
Mother!
I told you, that was too dangerous.
Aren't I always telling you that you shouldn't do anything so reckless?
I'm already able to climb a tree that big!
Besides, Mother, this is something that's important to you.
That's because it's something that I gave to her.
Father! Welcome home!
Whoa, you're as naughty a kid as ever, huh?
I am not a kid!
Getting mad at that proves that you are a kid.
It does not!
Don't laugh, Father!
Welcome home.
Mm-hmm. I went and put down the monsters at our borders.
I am so sorry.
Why are you apologizing?
This calamity happened because a fault appeared in my barrier.
Don't worry about it. The land of Japan is a world
that was destined to have man and monster live together.
It is not as though the threat of the monsters extends to only our territory.
Is it true that the monsters are out to get this place?
Indeed it is. This is a place where God is said to have once lived,
and as such, this land has been imbued with God's power.
The monsters seek to have that power.
However, you need not worry.
Thanks to the seal of Madame Empress,
the monsters cannot enter into our territory,
to say nothing of the palace.
Still, my power is not absolute. Moreover, I...
If, by some chance, unwelcome forces do come into our territory,
there is nothing to be worried about.
That is why I am here.
Right.
I'm here, too!
Oh, the kid is talking big, huh?
I'm not a kid, I tell you!
In that case, can you climb to the top of that tree?
I sure can!
Just a minute, Haganemaru!
Princess Suwa!
Good luck, Young Lord!
There's a big one, right there!
One more time!
Good luck!
What were you doing out there until this hour?!
If you don't want to tell me, that's fine.
You can sit there all night!
That pouting is just like the Master did when he was younger.
Do you need something?
As a matter of fact...
Mother...
Look how dirty your clothes are.
Haganemaru, listen to me carefully.
Father is not angry with you because he hates you.
He is angry because he is worried about you.
You must not forget that.
Mother, do you like Father?
Of course I do.
Do you like me, too?
Yes.
Then, which one do you like more, Father or me?
Well now, I don't know how to answer that one.
So, which one did you say?
You are acting childish, too.
Until a woman that we fall in love with shows up,
we men are in love with our mothers.
I heard that he was catching fish in the village.
He supposedly heard from the village chief
that there were nutritious fish in the irrigation pond there.
He must have been thinking about you, and your frail condition.
Hama Ryuojin! ! [Exorcising Dragon King Blade]
Amazing! That was amazing, Father!
If you train yourself, you can do it, too.
Do you want to grow stronger?
I sure do!
For what reason?
What would you do if you were stronger?
Would you aim to get stronger, just for the sake of getting stronger?
Is the strength that you desire only for yourself?
No.
I want to protect everyone in Suwa.
I want to protect everyone, including Mother, and you, Father!
That's my son, all right.
Ow! That hurts, Father!
Hama Ryuojin! !
Nicely done, Young Lord.
Not yet. Until I can defeat them with one blow,
it's not as good as Pop's Dragon King Blade.
Pop sure is busy, huh?
According to the Master, Young Lord,
if you can look after things in his absence,
then he can go out and put down the monsters with his mind at peace.
Pop said that?
Young Lord, the day when you take upon yourself the Master's name,
and become the lord of Suwa, may not be that far off.
Welcome home, Young Lord.
This is for Mother.
Mother, I'm back now.
Ah, Haganemaru...
I must continue my prayers.
Mother, please don't push yourself so hard.
The prayers may be important, but you still have to rest a little.
If I do not strengthen the barrier, the people of Suwa will suffer.
But Mother, I want you to be healthy, too!
You're such a kindhearted boy. Truly, just like your father.
I want to get stronger.
Enough so that Mother can rest even a little bit more.
I want to hurry...
and get stronger.
Father!
Your katana... Is the monster that showed up this time that strong?!
Yeah. But don't tell Mother that I got hurt.
It's embarrassing, after all.
Let us tend to your wound at once!
No need to. I'm leaving soon.
Father!
Is that...
The heirloom of the Lords of Suwa, passed down for generations--
the famed blade Ginryu.
You're taking on something so tough, you have to take Ginryu with you?!
Yeah. This foe is a bit dicey.
Still, I will defeat it.
You mustn't!
Mother!
If you are going to carry our heirloom, Ginryu,
then you must call on me.
You have always been like this. You are nothing if not reckless.
The same goes for you.
You're right.
The heirloom is going into battle. May it have the Priestess's blessing.
Dragon, thou who glides over the water
and spans the heavens protecting Suwa,
watch over he who bears the heirloom that has received thy name,
and, I pray thee, watch over Suwa.
Well, I will be off, then.
May you fight well.
Father! I'm going, too!
You stay here.
No! I have gotten a little stronger!
I can fight with you!
Yeah, you have grown stronger.
So use that strength, and protect the ones you love.
Father...
Mother!
Call the doctor to the bedroom!
No...
Take me to the prayer room.
But...
It is the priestess's duty to pray for victory,
and to keep up the barrier.
Now, please hurry and take me to the prayer room.
Master! Is there any use in pressing the attack any further?!
Dragon, thou who glides over the water
and spans the heavens protecting Suwa,
watch over he who bears the heirloom that has received thy name,
and, I pray thee, watch over Suwa.
Mother!
Mother!!
Mother!
Sombody! Somebody, come quick!
I was unable...
...to protect Suwa...
...to protect... you...
Mother...
Mother!!
So use that strength, and protect the ones you love.
Father...
There you are, young lord of Suwa.
My name is Amaterasu, Mikado of the Land of Japan.
My sister, Tsukuyomi, had a dream.
In it, the priestess that keeps the barrier for Suwa had passed away.
What are you doing, young lord of Suwa?!
For what reason do you commit this outrage,
by turning your sword on the Mikado?!
Stand down, Soma.
But, Mikado!
The young lord does not appear to be himself right now.
Although, that is understandable.
However, we cannot leave him like this. We must stop him.
Please wait, Sister.
Would you allow me to handle this?
Tsukuyomi...
Don't move.
Let's let your mother...
Let's let your mother sleep now.
M-Mother...
Father...
Syaoran-kun...
He's not letting go.
Kurogane-san...
I'm so sorry...
You haven't yet realized
that the two of us have the power to change even yesterday
For no reason, I'm lonely (lonely)
with tears streaming down my face
I'm missing my one and only (only)
the one I trace out in the sky, and that's you
Take my, take my hand, and let's go on together,
reach out, reach out your hand, and catch hold of the wind,
take my, take my hand, and do not be afraid,
hold my, hold my hand, and I can fly,
when I'm with you
Puu!
When Syaoran woke up, he began talking all alone with Kuro-rin.
Meanwhile, as Mokona and the others looked for leads on any feathers, ta-da!
We finally got ourselves some potent information!
Come on, everyone, get ready. We're leaving right away!
Where in the world are we going, you ask? Just wait until you see!
Tsubasa Chronicles, "Secret of the Library."
Next time, your heart will pound over the fearsome Doggies!
