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
Hey, whitey! How many times do we have to tell you?!
Can't you bring us out any better than this?
I'm so down...
What's the matter, Moko-chan?
He doesn't seem to be too chipper.
Are you not feeling very well?
That's not what it is.
Mokona feels positively fine.
He's here! The savior I've been waiting for has arrived!
I'd better take off now, too!
There is a feather in this world.
Syaoran-kun!
Right.
Well then, now that we know about the feather, it's late into the night,
and we need to think about where we're going to sleep tonight.
Should we walk a little farther, and look for an inn?
For that matter, does anyone live here in the first place?
This is probably the guardian deity of this land.
It was carved by human hands,
and not much time has passed since it was made,
so there are sure to be people living here.
Indeed.
Although, there isn't anyone living nearby.
It's been so long, maybe we should camp tonight.
Everyone has gotten used to traveling, huh?
Things are moving right along.
Get up and do something, too!
There, I've done something. Sakura-chan, how is it?
Delicious!
There's nothing like eating while watching the stars, is there?
Kuro-sama, don't you think so, too?
Okay, we get it. Just eat.
Mokona, what's wrong?
I don't feel much like eating.
That's unusual for you.
Maybe you really are sick.
You don't seem to have a fever.
I'll eat it later, so just keep it for me.
Whoa, hey now...
Our savior!
I wonder who I'll sleep with tonight.
I know. I think I'll sleep with Kuro-pon.
Stay away, you bother me.
Maybe next time.
Mokona, want to sleep with me?
Fai, you blow into my ears, and it tickles.
I-I'll do better...
Maybe I'll sleep with Sakura after all.
Come on over, Moko-chan.
Then again, lately, Sakura, you've been tossing in your sleep.
I have?
Maybe I'll sleep with Syaoran.
Sure.
Still, what to do? Mokona is at a loss.
Just hurry and go to sleep.
To tell the truth, Mokona wants to snuggle up
alongside Syaoran and everyone else, too!
That would be asking a bit much, wouldn't it?
Mokona, you are so small, after all.
I guess so.
Mm-hmm, I've decided. Tonight, Mokona will sleep with Syaoran!
I've been tossing around... in my sleep...
I can't sleep.
Oh, Mokona, what's the matter?
It's nothing. I just wanted to see your face, Yuko.
I see.
Say, Yuko, do you ever feel sad for no reason?
Well, I'm not sure. Mokona, are you sad?
I'm not really sad, but I am a little unhappy.
Did you get into a fight with the others?
Mm-mm, Syaoran and the others are all very nice to me.
Then maybe you're homesick.
"Homesick"? What's that?
It's when you miss your home so much, your spirits become low.
I don't think it's that, either.
What's that behind you?
Syaoran says it's the guardian deity of this land.
I see.
Don't worry, Mokona. I'm sure the guardian deity
will do something to relieve your unhappiness.
Really?
Yes. So don't you worry, and get some sleep.
Mm-hmm. Good night, Yuko.
Right. Good night, Mokona.
Hello, hello, hey there, fella, wake me up already.
Huh? Wake me up?
Oh, no! What am I doing all fallen down here?!
Uh-oh!
T-That's no good!
Where are we?
What's with this place? It's unusually soft.
I remember feeling this texture before.
Ah, Moko-chan is gone!
Puu!
I sure slept well.
Puu?
Not again!
Thanks to you, Kuro-sama, we're saved.
Princess, are you hurt?
I'm all right.
Someone want to worry about me?!
H-Hey, look at that!
Moko-chan!
Why is whitey so big?
That's not it. Mokona hasn't gotten any bigger.
We've all become smaller.
Syaoran! Sakura!
Fai! Kuro-pon!
Where is everyone?!
Mokona! We're right here!
Can't you hear us?!
Guys, answer me!
What a loud voice!
This is bad!
Stop!
Listen to me, don't move.
Who are you?
Okay, let me introduce myself.
I am the guardian deity of this land of Cerbe, Cerberus.
Mokona is Mokona, everyone's idol.
I'm not sure why, but your face seems unusually familiar, fella.
Mokona, too.
I know! Mokona-han, is it okay if I call you Mokona?
Mm-hmm!
You can call me Kero-chan, okay?
Kero-chan!
What?
I'm just calling you.
What was that for?
As if whitey wasn't enough to handle by himself,
now this other strange critter shows up.
We've seen him somewhere before, huh?
I remember him, too.
I've got it! Remember? He was in Piffle World, with Tomoyo-chan.
Cerberus might not be just from this world,
but he could be a guardian deity that transcends dimensions.
What, that guy?
I can hear you, fella.
Say, tell me...
...what exactly happened to Syaoran and the others?
It happened one day.
Thanks to a strange feather that fell from the sky,
the mountain turned into an eerie "Devil's Mountain."
Then, right afterward, for some reason I don't know,
the people in the land all became small, like you fellas.
What are they up to now?
They're hidden away someplace safe. It's dangerous outside.
I'm sure there must be someone on that mountain
who is using the feather to make everyone smaller.
Someone like who?
Who knows?
Kero-chan, how did you know that Mokona and the rest of us were coming?
I saw it in a dream.
In the dream, a savior appeared in the land, and saved all the people.
I get it. So you're saying that we're the saviors, right?
No, I'm not.
The savior that appeared in my dream was...
Mokona, it was you!
Say, Mokona, I want you to save this land with me. I beg you!
That's easy for you to say...
Kero-chan said that Devil's Mountain was a very dangerous place.
Even so, Mokona, you're going, right?
Mm-hmm. Mokona might be teeny, but I'm still everyone's friend.
--Moko-chan... --I'm coming with you.
What good will it do for you to go?
You're not the only one. At our size,
if we went along, we'd just slow him down.
But...
Hey, whitey!
If you screw this up, you'll answer to me.
Mm-hmm!
Oh no!
That's an amazing trick!
That's one of Mokona's 108 secret techniques, super-suction power.
We're still alive, thanks to you. I owe you one, Mokona.
Mm-hmm.
Syaoran-kun...
I'm going after all.
Then I am, too.
I told you, don't go.
But...
If you want to do what's best for him, stay put.
I agree with Kuro-sama.
Now that we're small, do you understand for the first time how someone small must feel?
In any event, right now,
all we can do for Mokona is believe in him and wait for him, right?
Waiting... is tough, huh?
I'm sorry.
Mm-mm.
Mokona...
Once we get through here, we're nearly at the summit.
Mokona is a little sleepy.
Uh-uh, no! You'll die if you fall asleep!
Nighty-night.
I told you, you can't fall asleep!
I know! At a time like this, we need a song!
Say, Mokona, let me hear you sing something, okay?
Swinging... Swinging... I'm like a balloon...
Mr. Wind, blow, blow... Blow some more...
Tone-deaf, aren't you? Even so, it's better than freezing to death!
All right, I'll sing along, too!
Swinging! Swinging! I'm like a balloon!
Mr. Wind, blow, blow! Blow some more!
We're here! This is the summit!
Ah, is that...
Mekyo!
It's Sakura's feather!
Now!
Puu!
Hurry! If you don't move fast, you won't get out!
Puu?
So that's it. You're the one who made everyone tiny.
Mokona, there's no time!
That's enough, right?
Forgive me.
Oh no!
You made it!
They're here!
Guys! We're back!
Mokona!
Moko-chan!
Huh? You're all still small, huh?
Devil's Mountain may be gone,
but it will take time for the curse's power to wear off.
Is that right?
Ah, Mokona just had a great idea!
Mm, this is a little tight.
How are we supposed to sleep like this?
Still, we should put up with it, Kurogane-san.
After all, it's Moko-chan's wish.
That's right. Mokona has dreamed about snuggling up with everyone.
Syaoran, and Sakura, and Kuro-pon, and Fai, I love you all!
Squeeze!
What a bunch of weird folks.
Ow! I've gone and done it again!
That was one of my memories, that I got back because of my feather...
Ah! Moko-chan!
Princess?
Moko-chan! Shake it off!
We turned back to our normal size while we were asleep.
Mokona feels wobbly...
There, the towns are bustling again.
Everyone is thrilled to be back to their normal size again.
And it's all thanks to you fellas.
No, it's all thanks to Mokona.
Mokona is going to blush!
I'm sure I'll see you fellas again sometime.
I'm not sure if it will be the distant future,
or already sometime in the past, though.
Right.
Mokona, you keep taking care, now.
You too, Kero-chan!
It's sad to say goodbye, but I wonder why I'm not unhappy.
I'll tell you why. It's because you and I became friends, Mokona.
Mm-hmm.
They may be small, but they're not that small, huh?
Both Mokona and Kero-sama.
Wow, how pretty!
Everyone is saying, "Moko-chan, farewell."
All you butterflies, you take care, too!
Mokona Modoki is all excited!
I'll see you later, Moko-yan.
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!
This takes me back!This next world is the land of Nayutaya,
which we have been to before.
That time, I got all excited about the ties to Mito Komon,
but I wonder what will be there this time.
Huh? For some reason, everyone in the land looks scary.
What could have happened, you ask? Just wait until you see!
Tsubasa Chronicles, "The Second Hardship."
Next time, your heart will pound over who Kuro-rin smooched!
