lt's noisy, l'm going deaf
Stop stop, oh man
Maria said she'll wake herself up, no need to call her
Still l have to get her out of bed
Maria, it's sunrise
l know, l just want to sleep a little more
Wake up, Maria
Memoru
Morning
Morning, Memoru
Did we sleep together last night?
Um, we slept together
From today onwards we must live happily
How happy
The orphaned Memoru
Don't worry, l'll bring Soso back to school
We can go back once winter vacation comes
Together with Memoru
Must send her back
All right, let's split up here
Was what you said just now true?
Oh, you're...
Wait, l understand this is rude, but l must hide
lt's the chief
l'm the chief of Planet Nilulu, l'm Nilulu
l can't show myself as and when l wish like the others
My granddaughter often bothers you and Maria
She's gone to town now, please take care of her
Don't worry, l'll bring Memoru back during winter vacation
l'm responsible for protecting her
You are a very reliable young person, l can rest assured with her in your hands
Please give this to Memoru, tell her it was from Grandpa
Yes, l'll do that
And one more thing, ask her to work hard, got it?
Memoru, help me catch that side
Living in a hostel means you have to do everything yourself
That's right, of course you have to take good care of your own room?
l wish l could have my own bed
Ah, right
What's wrong?
Ah, it's my bed, you brought it?
How did you know l would come here?
Look, you still remember?
lt's the cloth doll Ms. Lina helped me make
That's right, when l feel lonely
l just have to look at it to feel like l'm looking at you
Don't know if it will be all right? Because Memoru is always very careless
Don't worry, Memoru is a clever and able child
She's as beautiful as l am
Oh, be careful
Bubu, what are you laughing?
Because you praised yourself to be beautiful
l'm going to school now, l'll come see you after class
Go on
Memoru, don't leave this room
l'm going now
Funny, is there someone else in this room?
All right, what to do now?
Look at the things in the room first
This is... the shower room?
l can shower with the new shower foam
All right, let's take a shower first
could my sister be inside? lmpossible
Time to shower, woah, nice, nice
Very comfortable, who's there?
could Maria have returned?
Nobody's around
Ah, too careless, forgot to switch the heater off
couldn't tell she was a girl like that
This is...?
Shirt? A doll's shirt
That's right, the doll Maria adores
This is too unbelievable, even bringing the doll
What to do, my shirt has been taken away by the teacher, even my pants
Who's there? The door to the room and shower room isn't closed
How could a girl be so careless
Ah, the tap isn't closed too
l have to get Maria to teach her some things
Good thing she didn't see me, what should l do?
Maria, wait, you dropped something
Did you go into my room?
Oh, so you mean l'm cheap
Then that...
l picked it up at the entrance of your door
could Memoru have left the room?
Maria, you're too childish
Your parents paid fees to let you study,
but here you are playing with dolls Give it back
Very precious? l won't take that rotten thing even if you gave it to me
We hope to become pianists, so we're studying hard
lf you play dolls in front of us, we'll become distracted
l'm sorry, l have to go back to my room
Maria, please come to my room during lunchtime, l need to talk to you
come straight after lunch, got that?
Wow, l'm envious, you can have some cat food after lunch, so amusing
Not back yet after so long, how long do l have to wait until
before l can rest
Right, that's right, the light from outer space
are billions of light years away
lt's as boundless as our arts
We keep advancing, our lives are so short
At a time like this, if only Orkas was around
Finally we're here, Soso, soon we can see Maria
l wonder if Memoru and Maria are all right?
Aren't you having lunch with everybody else?
Yes
Maria, be careful what you do, you have to end what you started
Remember to lock up your room, close the tap
Anyway, check before you leave
l'm sorry, l don't understand what you're saying today
That's right, those in the wrong never know what they're doing
But, l...
Don't try to deny it, we're not running a kindergarten here
You're not a child anymore, if something like this happens again
you'll be severely punished, do you understand?
All right, now go to school
Maria, why aren't you back yet?
So angry
l knew something would happen to them
Please, l won't let Teacher see it
Soso, wait, don't go alone
Oh, no, the principal hates cats and dogs, he's bumped into them
Oh...
This is really bad
Don't come over, no
l hate cats and dogs
That's right, don't run away from reality, keep progressing
After Beethoven lost his hearing, he continued making many
melodies with his spirit
Don't know how long it'll be before classes end, Memoru, just a while more
Really, Soso is gone and l can't enter into the female hostel
What should l do? Orkas, where did you go for these few days?
l went to take some thing from the mountains
Help Maria retrieve some things?
No, l forgot some things, so l went home to take them
Like l'll really believe you
Right, l'm telling you something
Your good friend Maria is now playing with dolls
Dolls?
Because of that, she was lectured by the committee, serves her right
lt's Memoru, must be together with Memoru
So that's it, that's why you're back so late
l was worried about you, good thing you weren't discovered by them
These pants fit?
Ah, my underwear?
lt's going to be inconvenient if something like this happens again
Ah, is it a little too big?
lt is
All right, let me alter it a little
Oh, the injured hand can't play
Maria, what's wrong?
You didn't practice the piano yesterday? You're too lazy
You disappoint your teacher Yes
l heard you hurt your finger, why did you take up the needle?
Someone said you were making dolls
Who told you that?
Don't bother about the person, you'd better think over it yourself
Why you entered into the famous St. Loyal Art college
Because you wanted to be a pianist, right?
Yes
Then l'll punish you, to practice 6 hours everyday
after lessons for this week
6 hours?
Right, practice 6 hours after lessons
Right, begin immediately, got that?
Yes
This is bad, where can l hand the things over to her?
Draw the eyes, completed
Maria, you're back?
l'm back, do you feel bored?
l'm not bored, l'm drawing
ls that so?
Maria, you're going out again?
Yes, l have something on
You promised me that you'll play with me after classes
l... have no time now
l'm so angry, you don't make your words count
l'm sorry...
Maria
Soso... Soso
Where did it run to? couldn't help it go back to Maria
l wonder if Maria will do anything?
Ooh, nice weather today
So angry, why must Soso follow him
Um, such good playing, really the student of the college
Big hope to be a future pianist
Go away... go away... don't follow me... go away
Oh man, nobody's playing with me, l'll go play myself
One, two, three, four
Five, six, seven, eight
Go away, don't follow me
Wow, this is interesting, it can be fun playing with myself too, yeah
l don't want, l want to play with Maria
Memoru, l'm sorry, because l can't tell you about my punishment
l know you'll worry after knowing, you'll ask me to leave this place
l'm going
Maria, it's Saturday today, can you come back earlier?
No, l have to practice the piano
No, l'm always alone here everyday
lf you don't play with me l won't be happy
Please don't be like that
After today l'll be fine
No, l know you'll say the same thing to me tomorrow
l'm sorry, Memoru
Maria
Forget it, in that case l won't listen to you
l don't want to stay here alone
l want to go out to play
Hey, don't follow me
lt's Soso
Don't follow me, go away l'm scared, very scared
Soso...
l hate cats and dogs, don't keep following me day in and out
Soso, when did you come?
You're together with Orkas? Where is he?
Really? could you bring me to him quickly?
Yeah, Soso, you're so clever, you know the route
But after l came, Maria told me to not go outside
Maria, has been busy practicing piano lately
Yes
From today onwards, you can rest
Eh?
You must remember, you have to finish what you start
Learn from your mistakes
Yes, thank you, chief
Memoru... Memoru...
could she have gone out?
l wonder how Memoru and Maria are now
lt's Memoru?
Memoru, where are you? Please come out
Memoru... Memoru...
Don't you think it's infuriating, Maria refuses to play with me
l think she must feel that the piano is more interesting than l am
Memoru, Maria came here so that she could become a pianist
How could she play with you all day long?
Orkas, why are you helping her and not me?
Memoru, do you know why Maria has
to keep practicing the piano after school?
No, why?
Memoru... Memoru...
Ah, Maria was punished by the committee because of me?
Memoru, wait, l have something to tell you
So l got her into trouble, l wouldn't have come if l knew
Maria is still practicing the piano, l'd better go back quietly
Ah, hard-hearted Lisa is playing the piano
Maria really has no time to play with me
Maria
Memoru, where did you go? Did you know how worried l was?
l'm sorry
Doesn't matter, now that you're back
Maria, l want to return to Nilulu village
Ah, why do you say that?
Didn't l tell you that l just have to practice until today?
Orkas is right, l should leave
lf you play with me you'll lose to Lisa
Why is that so?
Ah, oh...
Orkas? Soso here too?
Don't worry, Maria has no time to play with Memoru
Just bear with it for a while, Maria just has to grasp the time to practice
and all will be well
Me too, always caring about fun everyday, not caring about others
Me too, l become happy when l see Memoru
and forget about practicing the piano
l'm glad you can understand
The principal said this too
But, l should return as well
After coming out for so long, Grandpa must be worried about me
You don't have to worry, this is something your grandfather
asked me to hand to you Really?
He asked you to work hard
All right, Grandpa gave it to me? What could it be?
lt's winter wear
Not bad, very pretty
And many other things
What are they?
Ah, no...
All right, work hard from now on and don't let anybody find Memoru out
And don't make her too bored
She won't be bored, because Soso is with her
l'm so happy, the skies are beautiful
l wonder if the people from the Nilulu village can see
such a beautiful sky? l don't know how Memoru is now
l miss her very much
Memoru, come back soon!
