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
If this is your home, why does she seem so distant?
Maybe because her memories haven't completely returned yet,
she's unable to feel too familiar with everything here.
Also, we can't be sure that this is the real Clow Country.
Syaoran is right. After all, Mokona didn't relocate us.
That's right.
It is true, this town is weird.
Mm-hmm, there's no one here.
On the contrary, I can't sense a single thing living here.
Isn't that...
I remember this place.
There was a very nice archeologist who lived here by himself.
By any chance, Syaoran-kun, is this your house?
Yes.
I knew it. Hmm, so Syaoran-kun, this is where you lived...
They're nice quarters.
Kuro-sama is rapt with interest, too.
Buzz off.
Say, Syaoran, who is this person?
That's my...
What is this?
What, what?
What's the matter?
I should be in this picture, back when I was a child.
What does it mean?
It could be...
It could be what?
Syaoran-kun, there's something I'd like to check.
Yes?
Is there somewhere, Syaoran-kun, where, say,
you and Sakura-chan would have shared memories of?
Somewhere memorable?
At night, when I go to bed, I always think,
"I wonder what Syaoran is up to."
"I wonder if he thinks about me even a little bit."
I do think about you.
I think about you, too.
You know what? I...
...have something I want to tell you, Syaoran.
Syaoran, I...
Once the bell rings, I have to get back.
Want me to walk you there?
Mm-mm, I'll be fine.
Um, you know what? That thing I wanted to tell you...
I'll tell you the next time I see you, okay?
I'll make sure I say it, so just wait until then, okay?
I remember this place very well.
I was about to say something very important to someone.
But... I can't remember who it was.
I don't know what it was I was going to tell them, either.
Wow, it's so big! Sakura, this is your home?
Mm-hmm.
It's a castle, but it's quite different from the one in my land.
Kuro-pon, you're rapt with attention, all right.
Leave me alone.
Mm-hmm, this is irrefutable proof.
This world is a place where Sakura-chan's memories
have been made reality, using magic.
My memories?
How do you mean?
It's the book of memories.
The book has the power of Sakura-chan's
feather embedded within it.
As such, the magic that protects the book
is also influenced by the feather's power.
You're saying that this world was produced
because the power of the Princess's feather
and the magic power of the book came together?
That's right. Which is why the things that are deeply ingrained
in Sakura-chan's mind have been given form in this way.
But, since you haven't gotten enough feathers, Sakura-chan,
your memory is incomplete.
That's probably why there aren't any people in this town.
Fai, you're incredible! I'm impressed you figured it out.
This is a kind of magic, after all.
You just need to study it a bit.
Which means, the place where the book of memories is would be...
It could be somewhere that Sakura thought "that place is strange,
there might be something mysterious about it," when she was in this town.
I remember this path, too. I went to visit the excavation site a lot.
But I was always yelled at by my brother for doing so.
Because it's dangerous?
There was that, but I'm not sure why he did it.
You appear to have something you'd like to say, Kuro-rin.
How did you know what this world really was?
Like I said earlier. You just have to study a little magic.
To spot a trap, you need to be better than whoever set it.
You didn't appear to use any magic or whatever to do so, either.
You give me too much credit.
It doesn't wash.
Kuro-sama really does see everything I'd rather he didn't.
When you see it up close, it sure is big.
Amazing!
Mother!
Kurogane-san! The culprit who killed your mother...
...had a crest shaped like a bat, right?
Took you long enough to realize it.
You knew?
When we ran into those guys at that god's temple, I thought,
"I finally found the group that I had been searching for."
They've appeared!
They're...
You know them?
Yes.
Kurogane-san! Hurry!
See you later...
I have...
...only one wish!
Who are you guys?!
They never did say anything.
But it was then that I became convinced
that if I continued on this journey, in time,
I would find whoever killed my mother.
Is that right?
So, it's like I told you.
Just because you know what my past was like,
there's no reason for you to walk on eggshells.
Kurogane-san...
It's only because you're the one who saw my past
that I felt like talking about it. So, uh, you know...
You sure are nice, Kurogane-san.
Someone who is really nice will go way out of their way
out of consideration for someone else.
That's what my dad told me.
Don't say that! You're creeping me out!
Okay.
But then, someone bearing the same crest appeared
in both Clow Country and in Japan, which means...
Yeah. The bunch that has been secretly sniffing around our journey
could be in league with the ones who have that crest.
The boy looks like he is starting to move again.
It could be the work of the danger closing in on him.
Or, it could be a sign that he is awakening.
In any case, for now, when we cannot detect their actions,
he is the one and only thing that connects them with us.
I know.
Still, it is nothing more than a slight unraveling within the greater plan.
You sure seem assured.
It is not assurance.
It is certainty.
Princess, are you tired?
I'm fine.
If you need to take a break, there's just the thing.
It's so big!
Is this a clock?
It sure is small.
Say, Sakura, do you remember this?
No.
This is where...
What the...
I can sense the feather's wavelength coming from below.
Wow.
What is this?
It's pitch black.
Sakura-chan, do you remember what's down there?
No.
Even so, I can sense the wavelength of Sakura's feather from in there.
I'm going in.
But you don't know what's down there.
Princess, please wait here.
But...
Why? Why would you go so far to find my feathers for me?
Please look after the Princess.
Mm-hmm.
Let's go.
Right.
It's unusual for Kuro-pon to voluntarily help Syaoran.
Ordinarily, he would grumble and complain.
Maybe he's had a change of heart.
I can't do anything.
Sure you can.
You can wait for Syaoran and Kurogane to return.
Mm-hmm.
Sakura-chan, you're such a good girl.
Syaoran-kun and Kuro-sama are agreeable, too.
Maybe I should mull things over for a bit, too, you know?
The Princess's feather!
Wait!
A monster!
Kid, let's get started!
But this monster is only protecting the book.
I'd like to get the feather without hurting it, if possible.
Are you dense!? You start talking softhearted like that, and...
Kid!
Kid?
Who...
...are you?
Syaoran-kun!
Princess!
Syaoran-kun...
Does it really taste good? Really and truly?
Thank goodness. I messed up last time, remember?
So I was a little worried this time.
Huh? Mm-hmm. The clock?
It doesn't matter if I don't know what time it is.
If I don't know what time it is,
maybe I can stay with you just a little longer.
Mokona, hurry and relocate us to the next world!
Mokona Modoki is all excited!
Mokona!
There is magic at work here.
Let's go!
If the white manju bun can't get us out, then we have to run out of here.
Right.
The ones who looted the book of memories are escaping! Seize them!
The road!
It's turned into a sea!
--Let's dive in. --We can't.
This is no time to be whistling.
Mokona, move dimensions now.
But...
We'll be all right inside here.
Puu!
Syaoran-kun... I remember...about the clock now...
Huh? Mm-hmm. The clock?
I don't care if I don't know what time it is.
But I don't know who I was with.
Just that I really enjoyed myself, and it broke my heart to leave them.
I wonder if the day will ever come that I remember.
I'm sure it will be fine.
That was a close call, huh?
I thought you made up your mind not to use any magic.
Hmm... That was a bit different from the other magic I've used up to now.
It's magic that relies on sound,
and is a different type from the kind I learned.
But magic is magic, right?
Could be.
Kuro-rin, Mokona doesn't feel well.
Mokona?
Oh, no!
This is still...
...the land of Recolte.
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!
Just when we thought we'd finally gotten away,
the place where we landed was still the land of Recolte.
We've all become wanted men for being the criminals
that ran off with the book of memories.
Huh? Syaoran stopped moving again while holding the book.
What happened to Syaoran, you ask? Just wait until you see!
Tsubasa Chronicles, "The Fifth Oath."
Next time, your heart will pound
over Princess Tomoyo's bargaining point!
