Goodbye, Memoru
Hahah...This is great!
Memoru, Memoru
Eh, l'm back
Why is it so lively? What happened?
Guess what
lt can't be a festival l know
We must be celebrating Grandpa's recover, right?
You're half right, the other half is something happier
You'll get a shock if l told you
You'll get a shock
B-chan you don't have to interrupt
What? What's going to shock me?
chief, please tell her
All right, it's like this Let me tell you
Why isn't anybody saying after such a long time?
Memoru, soon we'll be able to return to our homeland Nilulu planet
Ah... Back to Nilulu planet?
Luckman has met some Nilulu people in his journeys
Luckman?
Yes. The ship to fetch us is already waiting at the foot of Mt. Arbass
Missy, l heard the Lady is there too
You mean Mother? Really?
Grandpa really Why didn't you tell me earlier?
Oh, l wanted to tell you after you came back from Maria's
Why?
Memoru chief did this with good intentions
Good intentions?
Because Nilulu is a very
happy thing to Memoru But it's also a sad departure
Ah... With Maria
Right, when l'm back l won't be able to see Maria again
Well, you're playing such a simple piece wrongly
l'll start from the very beginning
Missy Are you not feeling well somewhere
Oh! A fever
l can see Mother, of course l'm happy
But Maria will be very sad to know of this
l don't know what Grandpa is discussing with everyone now
lnfuriating Why did they fly the spaceship here?
No! They don't even know that we would land here
That's right, the earth is so big and they can
land within 300 km of us
That's already a miracle
lf the spaceship doesn't come here then we would have to
go to the mountains
And we have 246 people So many people at once
Will the earthlings find us out This isn't as simple as it seems
According to my experience the curiosity of earthlings
is very strong You have an idea then?
Yes
Yes?
lf we want to go to the foot of the mount, then we must...
Well?
Borrow the strength of humans
Ah?
All right. That's all for tonight
chief we haven't decided on anything yet
Why don't we do it before discussing?
Ah, Grandpa's out so early
Yes. When the sun was up he rode on Bubu and left
Where did he go?
He looks like he had something urgent
Something urgent?
You're returning to planet Nilulu?
Maria you know that there are meetings and departures in the world
That means Memoru
Yes. l'd better tell her about this instead
And l wanted to thank you for taking care of Memoru
Actually, l was the one being taken care of
l understand. l'll discuss with Orkas how we can take you to the ship
Then l'm counting on you. Thanks
Memoru and the rest are leaving
Yeah
You'll feel very lonely after they leave
ln this case We will try our best to help them
But there are 246 people, it's not as easy as that
Wow! They have over 200 people
Hey Maria, what's wrong
l'm okay
Maria
l'm fine. My stomach just hurts
Maria
Maria are you all right?
Maria
Do you know if she's gotten provoked seriously lately
Provoked?
Like a close one dying or separation from close friends
Nothing of that sort Missy was happy until yesterday
This
Ris
Do you have anything to say
No...nothing
Please put down the curtains
Missy, do you feel uncomfortable?
A little Please draw the curtains
l know Maria doesn't want to let Memoru know she's bedridden
Why?
Because if Memoru sees it she won't want to return to her planet
lf it was me, l would ask her to leave after l recover
Not like this Maria hopes that she can
return to her mother's side quickly Orkas
Memoru, l hear you're going to return to your planet
congratulations!
You don't know what's happened to Maria
Nothing
But she's drawn the curtains
Oh, maybe she went to town to buy something and will be back by night
Oh! So that's it l thought she was ill
Nothing's wrong. Don't worry
All right l'll come again tomorrow. Bye!
Memoru you come to this house from tomorrow
Why?
Because Teacher Panny appears to have found out about you lately
About us?
Before you return it's not good to let her find out
Of course l'll get her to come
All right, l got it, l'm off
Maria and you are so nice to people
l'm not as good as you guys Gathering together for friends
while suffering by oneself Even making a story to lie to her
That's a little strange
Why? Maria's heard it today
We're going back to Nilulu planet
That means Maria knows that Memoru will come find her today
She shouldn't have gone out shopping
That's right
could she have gone buying a present for Memoru?
Yeah, a present
What are you doing?
Even if it was a present Why does she have to
draw the curtains in bright daylight That means Maria is in her room
Don't you think Maria is like playing with you
ls Maria ill?
How could that be
Missy, Ah?
Missy, Missy where did you go?
Ah, Missy why are you up?
Missy the doctor said you should rest on bed. Go rest quickly
Don't worry. l'm all right
Missy, go rest quickly Missy?
lt's the sound of piano Maria's playing
Teacher Panny go look at the window
What's the matter? ls there someone outside?
Ah, Bubu go quickly
What a surprise, Teacher Panny is beginning to suspect us
Goodness! l heard Maria playing, so she must be all right
Oh Missy, Missy, what's wrong? Are you all right?
l think it'll be better to send her to the hospital quickly
l got it Then l'll send her there
No...no...l'm not going to the hospital
Missy, if you don't go what if something happens to you?
Goodbye, l have to say good bye
Ah Goodbye? Goodbye with who?
Memoru? You keep mentioning this person, just who is this person?
Memoru is Maria's beloved rag doll
What? How could you barge into another person's house?
l've been shouting for ages at the door but no one answered
Nobody will be happy for you
We saw the doctor's car here so we were worried
Let's see her another day
But...
Maria, Memoru is leaving tomorrow
From Ris' car to the foot of the mountain
That's great! Orkas, l'd like to ask Ris to do something for me
What is it?
Tomorrow, l'd like to ask her to play the piano for me
Got it. l'll tell her that
Hey! What did you say to her?
lt's regarding the doll in the park
Maria intended to go see it
What time is it? Still watching a show?
All right. Please hurry up
Got it
You have to take care
Grandpa, we're setting off today
Yes. Earth is a pretty good place after all
lt's a little pitiful to leave this place
Ah Memoru, where are you going?
She must have gone outside with Sobido and the rest already
ls that so? Maybe she wants to say goodbye to Maria
Hopefully she can
Practicing again This never ends
Teacher Panny has always been strict
Memoru, if you don't prepare now the car will be there sooner than you think
But l want to see Maria
Uncle chou is at the door Teacher Panny is in the room
How can you sneak in?
l'm so worried about Maria l can't go
You don't have to worry She's pretty lively, isn't she?
chris, why are you playing the piano
at our place for no reason?
l'm doing this to encourage Maria Please let me play
Please stop. Don't play anymore!
Good thing Memoru you're finally gone Maria would hope for this
Memoru
All right let's go, everybody set off
Listen up, l told the others that you are puppets of a puppet show
lf we meet up with anything you have to
play dead Right. l have an idea
Let's play a puppet show in front of Maria
Ah
Right, this way we can see her with no problems
Let's do it
Do it. Do it...
But...
l don't know if Teacher Panny will allow it, and Maria has gotten
a small flu and isn't feeling well Ah, she isn't well?
Orkas, if Memoru doesn't see Maria
she won't ever see her again
Please, Orkas let me go see her
All right. Try
How can this be? A puppet show would disrupt her rest
Maria's waited for long She'll regain vitality after the show
lf that was really true then there's no need for doctors
Go away. Go away
No! Let Maria see it
Doctor? lf she feels okay
then that's not a problem lt might be better for her
ls Maria really seriously ill?
She can hold on with injections for this condition
come on, Maria
Missy, how do you feel?
Don't worry, Teacher Panny
Sorry to keep you waiting let's do the computer puppet play now
They're acting as aliens
Memoru
Missy's gone for so long l wonder if anything happened
All earthlings Today we will take the ship
and leave earth for planet Nilulu
Thank you very much for taking care of us all this while
l will never forget it
Memoru
Maria seems to be suffering
Hey! You're the bandit's son You should be good
What do you mean?
Ah, Thief!
Goodbye earthling friend l will always remember you
Goodbye
Goodbye, Memoru, Goodbye!
Fantastic! l feel so much better after the show
Missy, please rest
Maria
Memoru
Ris, let's go quickly
Memoru
Me-er, Memoru's gone back
She's taken the ship back
Memoru, she's returned to her planet
Memoru, Goodbye!
Wow! How pretty What place is that?
Maria don't come over That's the kingdom of heavens
Memoru, Memoru?
Memoru, Memoru where are you?
Don't! lf you go there you'll die, Maria
Don't die! Maria
l... am l dreaming?
You're not dreaming l'm back l didn't leave
Ah? You're back Sobido, you...
Maria
Everything's fine now because you've drank Memoru's tears
As if l was seriously ill Why?
Actually l stole the medical record from the doctor's box
l gave it to Grandpa
Grandpa told me to give you my tears and not let you die
So you came back for me?
Yes
But... but the ship
Don't worry
With this thing we can call Nilulu anytime
The ship's here to bring us back
l'm Sobido Sobido, Maria is all right now
That's great!
Thank you
Thank you, Memoru
Maria
Memoru
And thus Memoru decided to stay on earth
Or maybe she's under the tree leaf in the forest now
Or in the grasslands watching you
lf you find Memoru greet her quietly
Memoru, how are you?
