Look! This is my new invention
lt's very successful there's result for the year of work
chris's secret
What? What happened?
What? The great meet for columbus' great invention
Get everyone in the world
columbus' old problem is acting up again
How troublesome
Every spring he would get mesmerized with something he invented
columbus, Hello
l have no time to go crazy with him
Hello why are you here so soon?
All right, there'll be a lot of people in a while. come on in
Don't worry. We're the only ones No one else will be here
No one else will come
What? Doesn't anybody want to see the new thing l invented
Grandpa said he had no time because he's checking something in the library
My Father said he had to make violins
My Father won't have time either, so...
Oh! Nevermind, forget it People with no dreams
l won't bother about them
What is it?
Ah, all leaves
Tree leaves...
Aren't these ordinary tree leaves
They're known as honest leaves
Honest leaves?
Memoru, try touching it
catch it and then close your eyes
Wow, it's changed to green
Sobido, you try it as well
Use some force to grab it and then close your eyes and the colour'll change
Why doesn't it become green?
l know, because the leaves can differentiate boys from girls
Yeah! it'll turn green if it's a girl and won't change colour if it's a boy
Are you despising my new invention?
No, not at all
You can tell a boy and a girl by just looking
ln that case, is there a need to investigate this issue
Yeah
Why doesn't the thing change colour when l hold it?
Didn't l tell you? That's the honest leaf
Sobido are you feeling unhappy?
Yeah, l got scolded by my motherjust now
l'm still very angry
Then what about me
You're feeling normal Not much troubles, right?
Right. l'm feeling fine
Right, what method did you use to make it change colour?
You know there are leaves that change to green when spring comes
lt'll become yellow or red once autumn arrives
Why is that so? Why do the leaves change colour?
ls it because of the weather?
Right, that's it
lf there are any insecure feelings in our bodies
Our fingertips would freeze lf we have this emotion
and we touch the leaf, the leaf would...
feel as cold as autumn
lf we use our normal emotion to touch the leaf it feels the warmth of spring
and becomes green
What kind of invention is that?
l don't know myself itjust succeeded like that
Really? This is the honest leaf
Yes, try touching it
l'm a little scared
Hold it, and then close your eyes
ls it like this?
lt didn't become green
l'm not worried about anything Memoru
Ah, l know what you're worried about
You're worried about Ris' illness
What do you think Ris?
Ris? Who is she
She's not recovered her memories
Ah, it's all right. All right You just rest assured
l heard Ris doesn't even know who she is now
She's been resting for a long time
Missy, it's time for piano lessons you know
l know
Eh...Why are there tree leaves?
Right, teacher Panny Try touching these leaves
Oh, so dirty, take them away
They're clean. come on try touching it
What is this thing?
close your eyes first
Okay now
What is this leaf good for?
Teacher Panny are you feeling very frustrated
Of course, your work has deteriorated because of Ris
But she'll be all right soon
lf this goes on l have to do something else
Do you want me to go to school alone?
You have no need to keep accompanying Ris
lf this goes on, Ris will be too pitiful
Right, why don't we let Ris touch that leaf
Let Ris touch it?
Maybe we'll know her condition if she touches it
Right. All right, let's try it
Ris, hold this leaf and then close your eyes
ls it like this?
Ah, it's green
Wow, it became green
ls it a good thing that it became green?
How could that be? Leaves can't possibly become green
Why?
A patient shouldn't have such a stable heart
columbus was right
She doesn't even remember her name it's not right to say she's ill
But why did the leaf change colour?
There's only one reason
One?
That means Ris has already recovered
Ah, what?
You mean Ris is pretending to be ill
lf columbus' invention is accurate
Right, it's very accurate
Accurate. Babala, you try it too
Ah, okay
You're not even worried about anything
l'm always happy-go-lucky
Well, everybody, hah...
Don't quarrel. Don't be so uptight
chris has recovered
Grandpa and everyone say so
Let's go take a peek
lf she has really recovered it would be great
Maria would be really happy
Ah, Orkas
Hey! Maria you're so happily watering the plants here
Teacher Panny must be out, right?
Right, if she sees this l'll get scolded again
Where's Ris?
She's in this house
Oh! Why aren't you at home accompanying her
She hasn't recovered yet
lt's got nothing to do with me She said she wanted to be alone
Be alone
lt's dangerous to leave her alone at home
Eh?
What's the matter Memoru?
Listen, it's the sound of piano
Yes. The piano sound who's playing it?
She's playing it so well Doesn't look like she's ill
Ris has really recovered
That's great, l haven't deteriorated after this hiatus
Ah, indeed
How strange? Why did Ris pretend to be ill?
Ah...
Oh, Memoru
lt's the doll
Oh, Ah...
lt's still warm. l've always thought you were strange
l've always suspected you not to be a computerized doll
Just who are you? Tell me
Oh no, it's been found out
Your name is Memoru
Maria and Orkas both know who you are, right?
Memoru, don't say anything
Memoru, please open your eyes
Listen to me
Ah?
l'm begging you. Don't tell Maria or Orkas about mine playing the piano
Why?
Because l don't want to lose the happiness now
Happiness?
lt's the first time Orkas is being so gentle and nice to me
lf he knows that l've recovered he wouldn't
You really like Orkas so much
l've played with Orkas since l was small
We promised that we'd marry after we grow up
Those words we said when we were young, l'll remember them always
He's very important to me l'm already in love with him
Orkas and l can't be separated
But at this time Maria suddenly appeared
She made me so frustrated
Because she's a gentle and kind young girl
Better than me in everything No wonder Orkas likes her
l cry in secret, l can't accept it
l often make fun of Maria, but she never blames me
She's so good to me
But l can't let Maria take Orkas away from me
Please! l'm begging you, don't let Orkas know
Don't let them know l've recovered Don't tell them that l played the piano
Wah l can see your house from here
l often take a walk here
Eh, right, did you say you have something to show me?
This thing...
lt's a tape recording
There are many birds singing on this tree
You recorded it for me
lt's already stopped when it's here
Thank you, Orkas
Eh, it's Memoru's Bubu
Memoru
Memoru, don't reply
Funny l saw a red hat
Memoru, did she go to your house?
Ah, my house?
You're going to Maria's, then you'll tell about what you saw about Ris
l won't say
Even if you won't She'll know by your face
That Sobido
l...l'm the same
Just as l thought
This Ris always hates you so much, and you're still helping her
Because it would be troublesome if l get found out
Ris probably won't tell anyone
There's nothing but Orkas in Ris' mind now
And she believes Missy won't tell anyone
But l don't know how long will she pretend to be ill until
How interesting, l can hear the sound of birds even at night
Soso, there are no birds here
Ah? lt's the piano sound Ris' best tune
could Ris...
come in
Ris, you lost something on the piano
Why is it there?
Ris you like the put this ring down when you play the piano
ls that so? l don't remember at all
Grandpa, teach me, what should l do?
This isn't right pretending to be ill She can't do this forever
Will you be happy like this if the other party knew you lied
Maybe he'll be sadder
Memoru, pluck up your courage lsn't Maria your good friend?
Ah, tell Maria
You decide if you should tell
l'm going to tell Maria
l hope you can lend it to me
But...but l already...
Right. lndeed, it's a recording of Ris' tune
All right
Orkas, what are you going to do?
l'm going to tear her mask down
No, Orkas
This is ridiculous So she's recovered already
Orkas, please wait...
What if you got it all wrong?
lndeed, Memoru and the rest came from Orkas'
Maybe they already...
Maria, Maria
Memoru?
Please listen to me
What's wrong?
lt's like this
Orkas, Look at how pretty this flower is
Don't act anymore You've long recovered
Ah...Orkas
Yesterday l was using the tape deck in the mountains
lt's already recorded that song you played yesterday inside
But...l didn't play the piano
You don't have to fool us anymore
Did you know that Maria took leave from school for you
But you...
All right, you'd better pack up and leave this place now
Orkas l'm...
l don't want to hear your excuses
Orkas,
No...
Orkas, Orkas What did you tell Ris?
ls there any need to be polite to someone like that
Orkas you should listen to Memoru first, she talked with Ris yesterday
Talked with Ris yesterday?
Ris said she pretended to be ill because she likes you
She hopes that you'll be with her forever
She was happy because you were so concerned about her
l hope you can understand her
Really? ls that true?
Do you remember how adorable she was when she held the leaf
Go, go to where Ris is
Maria
Ris really needs you Orkas
She truly loves you. Go quickly
Ris is playing the piano They've patched up
Was l right in this because l can't lie
l'm sorry Maria
l'm happy enough that you're together with me
l'll go through thick and thin with you and share my happiness with you
Thank you, Memoru
The flower of spring, the animals of the forest
The leaves of the trees
Please share some happiness with Maria and l
