Paroru's Future Island (パロルのみらい島)

Come on, once more.

I will never venture off the island.

"I will never venture off the island."

Never, ever, ever.

"Never, ever, ever."

This island is the only land that is peaceful.

"This island is the only land that is peaceful."

I will protect it at all costs.

"I will protect it at all costs."

All right!

I know that you've repeated this again and again,

but these are the rules of our island.

And...

"All right. I know that you've repeated this..."

No need to repeat that part.

Good, we'll resume where we left off yesterday.

Beware of the spicy herbs that are found on Mt. Ikari.

Parol!

Parol!

Come on, Parol!

Parol!

Ouch!

What's gotten into you, Rikotto?

Why did you skip class again? You're always fooling around!

I thought about going, but I couldn't find one of my earplugs.

I had no choice.

But why would you need earplugs to go to school?!

Come on, let's go!

Where are we going?

To see Zuzu!

He apparently found something cool!

I hope it's something shiny!

Wait for me!

You're in a hurry, huh?

Yes, a bit.

Oh, Rikotto.

Hello!

Could you help me to restock, Rikotto?

Sorry, another time!

Hurry up!

Zuzu!

Here's the object in question.

What's this? It's not shiny at all.

The top lifts up. Open it and see.

It's incredible, isn't it?

When you open the lid, a song starts playing all by itself!

Oh?

What's this?

How pretty!

That's just as incredible!

They've copied the sky onto that tiny piece of paper!

I want it.

Huh?

It sure is an intriguing object.

But I understand. You can have it.

That's great, Rikotto.

No! No!

That's not what I meant!

See, that!

What you see there, but then the real thing!

I've never seen anything so pretty before!

I have to have it!

I want it! I want it!

But it probably can't be found on this island.

You would need to go into the outside world.

Yes! I'll go into the outside world!

I'm going to the outside!

I should've expected this. This is a problem.

That's a good one!

It's like trying to catch the clouds, no, the stars.

Stars? Rikotto!

I knew it!

Those three stars are only aligned once a year.

Moreover, it will happen again two days from now.

What? What do you mean?

What we see here will happen two days from now.

If you want it, you'll need to get to this location in two days.

In two days? I'll never make it in time!

Build a boat before tomorrow.

You can do it, right?!

You can't do it, right?

I was three when I found my first piece of flotsam on this beach.

It was this.

What is he talking about?

After that, I found lots of things and began to study them.

It's true that I'm interested in where it all came from.

But it's just a dream. It's an energy source that stimulates progress.

So you can't do it.

O-Of course I can!

Fine, then! I look forward to tomorrow!

Huh?

It's great, Zuzu!

I stayed up all night!

You're kidding, right? That's outside of the island! It's scary!

It's okay if you don't want to come. Zuzu and I will leave together.

I'll do my best to meet Rikotto's expectations!

I'd be concerned if you two went off on your own.

All right, we've decided!

Heading to the island of the future!

Okay!

Asa okitara mado akeyou

Ano oka kara kaze oto wo tatakeba

Sore wa mirai kara no shoutaijou

Fuka fuka beddo

Daisuki na omocha

Yuuki wo dashite sayounara shitara saa

Paroru Paroru Paroru

Batten oheso no Paroru

Sekai no himitsu wo mitsuke ni yukou

In the morning, upon awakening, open the window.

If the wind blows from that hill,

then it's an invitation from the future.

My very cozy bed,

my adorable toys,

if I take my courage in both hands and make my farewells, go!

Parol, Parol, Parol.

Parol, with your cross upon your navel.

We'll discover the secrets of this world!

So where to now?

Well, at the moment, my point of reference seems to have faded away like a mirage.

In other words?

I can't say we're not lost, exactly...

Phew! I'm glad we're not lost.

It means that we are lost.

Wait a minute!

The insects! No!

That's...

Thank you so much!

My name is An.

Why were you tied up over there?

A-An incredibly violent guy was tormenting me!

And what are you doing here?

A-A violent guy?

In fact, we're looking for something.

It looks like this.

Oh, that?

You know of it?

Yes. You'll find it on my island.

Let me guide you to thank you for saving me!

That's great! Thank you, An!

It worked out in the end.

Hey! Look! What's that?

A large bird?

That's him!

If we remain here, he'll catch us!

We must flee!

Quick!

Paddle faster!

It's no use!

He'll catch us!

We have no choice!

Everyone, come here!

What's your plan?

Angle, okay.

Launch!

That cord will never break, no matter how much force...

My island is straight ahead!

Zuzu, we're going too fast!

There's nothing I can do about it!

Thank goodness! He seems to have given up.

Well, this is my island.

Wait for me!

What was that?

Those costumes looked very cool.

What were those?

I'm sorry. I forgot to explain.

Today is the annual festival, and humans dress up in costumes.

Come, let's go this way.

Humans?

Yes. We're in a city built by these humans.

Incredible! Everything is made of stone!

Those are very cute costumes!

That's how a human normally looks.

Rest assured, they won't eat you.

Hurry up, or we'll be late!

It's really fortunate that this is the day of the festival!

You'll be able to mingle with the crowd.

What's all of this?

I-It's too unbelievable!

Too pretty!

Look at all those shiny things!

Come on, Rikotto, let's go.

There as well!

Where's Zuzu?

Even you?!

What's that stench?

It moves without wind!

That's... Wait!

Zuzu!

This way, my friends!

An, where are we?

This is a tramway station.

Tramway?

Here it comes.

We have to climb in?

No way! I won't go up in that thing!

Parol!

It's not dangerous. Hurry up.

There's something wrong with you!

We don't know what could happen!
