Magic Star (奇星记之鲜衣怒马少年时)

When I was imprisoned by Ding Song, the one who I missed the most was you.

I remember when you first ran into the palace, you were only seven years old.

Yes, I remember.

At that time, Royal Father punished Nanny Tang who had been taking care of me.

At that time, I liked to feed and rear crows,

but Royal Father felt that it was unlucky to rear crows in the palace.

He didn't want me to rear them.

I secretly let Nanny Tang rear them in the Imperial Garden.

In the end, they were still discovered by him.

Hence, he kicked Nanny Tang out.

Subsequently, you were angry with Royal Father

and ran out of the palace alone.

I wonder how Nanny Tang is doing now.

She took care of me since I was young.

In this palace, other than you and Older Brother Bai Ze,

she was my closest family member.

Let's not talk about this anymore.

When Royal Father was alive, he was especially strict with us.

He also did that out of good intentions.

Who told us to be born into a royal family?

Older bro, if you could be an ordinary man now,

but you could live happily forever, would you be willing?

How come you are suddenly asking this?

It's nothing, either.

It's just that I was really happy with Xiong Fei and the others during these times,

but... there are also a lot of things that I can't understand,

so I am in a bit of a dilemma.

Alright, Zi Su has grown up.

You have something in your heart now.

Can you tell your older brother about it?

I still have to think about it more

if I should tell you about it.

Fine then. Looks like someone will be hurting.

Who? - Of course, it's Bai Ze.

Why?

Since you were little, you had been following behind your Older Brother Bai Ze.

Even saying that you wouldn't marry anyone else but him.

Who would have thought that after going out for quite some time, you already...

Older bro! What nonsense are you spouting?!

Do you think I didn't notice it?

Earlier, while we were in the Grand Hall, your gaze never left that lad.

When did I?

I won't talk to you now.

I'm going back to my room to sleep.

The sunrise at this place is 1 hour earlier

than those islands of the same sea level.

The sunset time is also 1 hour later.

There is actually such a thing?

I am guessing that a special item must be present over there

causing the island to be unusual,

not excluding that there might be...

Magic Star?

Ikeda, can you be sure of it?

This is only my guess.

I still can't be 100% sure.

I'm leaving it to Lord Ding to decide.

Lord,

although we aren't sure if there's a Magic Star on this island or not,

going there to investigate isn't really going to be a bad thing.

After all, the day of gathering all the Magic Stars is getting closer and closer.

Lord Ding, what do you think?

Ikeda, set out tomorrow and go there on my behalf.

Lord Ding, how about our agreement before?

Ikeda, what do you mean?

Unless you think that our Lord will go against his words, right?

Oh, no, no, no. Of course, he won't.

Don't worry.

Once the matter is done, I will surely give an order to abolish sea restrictions in the whole country

and open up trading with your people.

Thank you, Lord.

Then if Lord doesn't have anymore instructions, I will go prepare now.

Why is Zi Su not happy today?

That's because she has something on her mind now.

How about we take Zi Su out for a stroll?

Will she be a bit happier?

She probably will.

Zi Su, Zi Su, let's go out and play.

Okay? Okay?

Have you had enough with the wooden puppet acting?

Come out now, you.

My legs are numb! My legs are numb!

Boring.

How about it?

Zi Su, accompany me for a stroll.

I don't want to go.

What's really wrong with you?

There's nothing wrong with me.

If you want to go out, go and look for Yuan Shuai instead.

I told you already, she doesn't want to go.

The reason she doesn't want to go is

because she is thinking of the person that she likes in her heart.

I am not. You are making up things!

Hey, don't make up things.

If you continue saying things like that, I'll tear your mouth.

I wasn't making up things.

That's what she said.

She already said earlier that the person she is thinking is called...

called 'Don't like to say it.'

Hey, who is 'Don't like to say it?'

A man or a woman?

Who is 'don't like to say it'?

Hey, you're annoying.

Who is 'don't like to say it'? Tell me. Tell me.

Who is he? Who is he?

Clay dolls! Clay dolls!

Come.

Miss, I have been carving clay for so many years. You are the prettiest that I have done.

Really? - Yes.

Of course, it is. Who else is prettier than you?

Here. - Thank you.

Does this look good? - Looks so good.

Fellow villagers!

This is our first time here!

Those with money, please give us some.

Those without, please just be our audience.

Come!

Wow! So great!

Which one do you want?

I want that one over there.

I'm just a bit off. - Try it out again.

Maybe you'll get in on the next try.

What to do?

Miss, try it again. Yehey! You got it!

It's a hit! Thank you, Owner.

You still have one last ring. Which one do you choose?

Got it.

Since you got it, it's yours now, right?

Come with me then.

Everyone, come to take a look. It's real.

Let me see. - Hey... What are you doing?

What are you doing?! Destroying our show?!

Hurry and escape! - Hurry!

Hey! Stop! Don't move!

Move aside! Move aside!

Don't move! Stop!

Don't run! Stay right there!

It's so delicious!

Delicious.

Mr. Ikeda, we'll have to trouble you for the island matter then.

May Lord Ding and Lord Ma just wait for my good news.

Goodbye. - Goodbye.

Is this information reliable?

I heard it personally.

Okay. You have worked hard.

This information you got is very valuable.

Go down to have a good rest.

Yes. Thank you, Your Majesty.

Your Majesty, what urgent matter did you call us for?

I just received news

that before Ding Song escaped, he has colluded with the Toyo people.

He sent them to the Money Island.

It should be related to the Magic Stars.

Ding Song's claws really have reached so far out.

Then what does Your Majesty want us to do now?

Counting the days, that Toyo person should have traveled far already.

I ordered you all to immediately chase after that Toyo person.

And also, you all must leave quietly.

Don't let Zi Su know about it.

Or else, she will be crying and insisting to go with you.

Your Majesty, that doesn't seem right.

What's not right about it?

I'm her older brother.

This is her home.

I letting Zi Su stay home, will that be worse than leaving with you?

Xiong Fei, what His Majesty said is right.

We will then leave now.

We surely will find the truth behind this.

Okay. Then I'm counting on you then.

Yes!

Ha! Ha!

Ha!

We have to catch up with him but none of us know how to drive a boat.

Are we going to swim over there?

Jeez, look at your stupid self. Don't worry.

His Majesty most likely has prepared a huge boat waiting for us already.

When you are on a huge ship, it's the same as standing on ground.

With the sea breeze blowing on you while eating seafood,

isn't that such a happy way of living?

Have you been on the seas?

I only heard it from other people.

Right now, we are quite behind Ding Song's men.

If we can't catch up with them before they get on the ship,

it'd be harder to look for them out in the open seas.

Okay!

Ha! Ha!

Ha!

Ha!

Toyo people.

Hey, is this that Toyo person that Ding Song sent?

Hero, I think this road might have been yours

but you had the wrong people.

Look at us. We look like kids.

That... That we surely don't have any money with us.

You three have been following me all throughout. You must have been exhausted already.

Don't think I don't know.

You are Heaven Strategy Envoys sent out by the Emperor.

I heard that you're also looking for the Magic Stars

relying on a Star Chart which can locate the Magic Stars.

Is it with you? Hurry and hand it over.

Star Chart? We don't have one.
