Saber Marionette J to X

Small fragments pile up deep within my soul.

Like gathering up the scattered pieces...

...of a jigsaw puzzle.

You can never deny your true feelings...

As you have shown me through your smile.

You can feel the pain of others in your soul...

Connected by the Circuit that gives you courage.

You have the strength to believe in tomorrow...

And your limited time will not go to waste.

Who is it?.

Who are you?.

What's wrong, Lime?.

A fairy?.

Yes.

That was probably a fairy.

It wouldn't be a surprise if you saw one.

Why's that?.

Only those with the purest hearts are able to see fairies.

Since Marionettes have much purer hearts than humans...

... it wouldn't be unusual if you saw a fairy.

Is that so?.

The checkup shows there's nothing wrong with you.

But it looks like Cherry and Bloodberry need some new parts.

Tell Otaru that I'll be keeping them here until the day after tomorrow.

Sure!

I'm done with my health checkup!

Bye, Lorelei!

See you, Lime.

Medical Examination

Medical Examination That's strange.

Medical Examination How did data on fairies ever get into Lime's memory?.

The Lonely Fairy

Okay, I'm counting!

One, two, three, four...

45, 46, 47...

99, 100!

Ready or not, here I come!

Found you!

Where are you?.

There!

There!

There!

There!

Just one more! Just one more!

Hao!

Lime, what's the matter?.

We're all waiting for you.

Yume, look over there.

Huh?.

Who do you think that girl was over there?.

What?. There was nobody there.

There! I found you all!

You're all too easy to find! You've gotta hide in better places!

But Lime, you cheat.

It wouldn't make any difference where we hide.

How about baking some sweet potatoes?.

What is it?.

What about the baby Ponta?.

We're missing one?.

What?.!

Are you saying we're missing a baby Ponta?.!

Where could it be?. Is it still hiding?.

You've got to save it!

You're that girl again.

The little one's in danger! You have to save it!

Little one?.

This way! Hurry!

Hey! Wait for me!

Lime?.!

What's up with Lime?.

No!

That was really close!

I'm so glad!

Hot potatoes!

Lime, that's not fair!

We decided on one each!

It's not for me. It's for that girl.

What girl?.

The one who told us about the baby Ponta.

Who?.

Huh?. Didn't you see that girl?.

I know. She must have been a fairy.

Fairy!

Fairy?.

Huh?. Aren't you going to eat your sweet potato?.

I'm not able to eat.

Thanks so much for warning us.

My name is Lime. What's yours?.

Me?.

Well, I'm... I'm... Lido...

That's right! My name is Lido!

Nice to meet you, Lido.

Me too!

But I never thought I'd be talking to a real fairy.

Fairy?.

Well, aren't you?.

It seems like I'm the only one who sees you.

I was surprised too.

You were able to hear my singing.

I always thought nobody would listen to...

...or be able to hear my singing.

That's not true! I was able to hear you!

Lido, can I hear you sing again!

Lime!

Wow! Wow! That was great, Lido!

Now, let me do something for you!

Um... Um... What would be good?.

You know what, Lime?.

Could you be my friend?.

Huh?.

But we're already friends!

Lime...!

Then could you play with me?.

Of course I will! Let's play!

I'm so happy!

You see, I've always been alone in this forest.

Really?. But you're not alone anymore!

I'm sure it was around here.

Over here!

-Come on, hurry up!

-Who's that?. -Come on, hurry up!

That's right! So, Hana ended up having his head shaved!

I'll show you later!

I'm home!

Oh! Otaru, you're back!

Are you alone, Lime?.

No, Lido's right here with me!

Lido?.

Lido is a fairy.

A fairy?.

Right. Humans can't see her, but Marionettes can.

You're kidding.

But Lorelei said so. Right?.

Come on. Fairies only exist in legends.

No, that's not true.

Fairies really do exist!

What's the matter?.

It's nothing.

Really?. It was kinda weird now.

Really?.

That's good.

So, as I was saying...

This way!

Wait for me! Wait!

Wow, this is great!

See...!

This is beautiful.

I love the view of Japoness from here the best!

I guess we should go home.

Otaru will worry.

Thank you.

Thank you, Lime. For playing with me.

Sure. Let's play again tomorrow.

Sorry. I don't think so.

Why not?.!

The time has come when I have to say good-bye.

What's wrong, Lido?.

I think this is it...

...so...

Lido?.!

Lime...

I really, really enjoyed myself.

Thank you.

Lido!

Lime...

Lido!

Where in the world is Lime?.

I promised her we'd pick up Cherry and Bloodberry, and eat out tonight.

Huh?.

Lido! Where are you?.! Lido!

What is it, Lime?.

She vanished! Lido, the fairy, disappeared!

She seemed to be in pain. She might be sick!

Otaru, what should I do?.!

Get a hold of yourself, Lime!

What is it?. You're acting strange since yesterday!

No I'm not! No I'm not!

Lido! Where are you?.!

Lime?.

I'm stiff all over from being stuck...

...in that capsule. Let's party tonight!

Yes.

Sorry to keep you waiting, Master Otaru.

Lime's been acting strange?.

That's right.

Ever since her checkup, she's been talking to herself a lot.

She was saying something about a fairy, and then ran out.

A fairy?.

Any idea what it means, Lorelei?.

I can't imagine there's a mechanical problem.

I can only imagine that perhaps...

...a newly installed part or program might be affecting her in some way.

A Marionette's body can't physically grow like a human.

However, by adding or replacing a new part or program...

...they can grow more than humans, even infinitely.

Maybe Lime is now able to see and hear things...

...that we humans aren't capable of.

Something we can't see...

I'll check out some places where Lime might be!

Master Otaru, I'm going too!

Me too!

Fairies?.

Lido!

Where are you?.!

Lido!

Lido!

Lido!

Where have you gone?.!

Where in the world did she go?.

I know!

Answer me.

If you can hear my voice...

...answer me, Lido.

Cherry, are you sure this is the way?.

I don't know.

Wait a minute! You brought us here not knowing where to go?.!

I did adjust my multi-sensor to the frequency Lime uses.

But I can't tell whether or not the fairy...

... Lime is looking for is the thing that I'm sensing now!

That voice...

Lime.

This way.

Please, Lido.

Answer my song.

Lido...

Lido!

You remembered my song.

Because there is sorrow...

...there is happiness.

I was able to see you again because you sang this song.

Thank you.

What's the matter, Lido?!

I was really worried about you!

I'm sorry, Lime.

It's okay.

The main thing is that we're together again!

I'm sorry. I only have a little time left.

Can 't we play together again?

No...

No way...!

Thank you, Lime.

I will never forget.

No matter what.

I will never forget about you, Lime.

Lido!

Lido!

Lido!

Lime!

Lime!

Lime!

Are you all right?.!

What?.

It looks like a music box.

This is Lido's song!

Lido!

It's Lido! Lido's singing!

So, this is Lido...

...the fairy you were talking about.

Yup. Lido the fairy.

I see.

It was you.

But how was the fairy from this music box...

...at the bottom of the lake, able to appear in front of Lime?.

Probably over radio waves.

A radio in the music box was transmitting an image of a fairy.

And Lime's sensor was able to receive it.

She was lonely.

What?.!

She must have been lonely.

She's been all alone ever since she was thrown away here.

She wanted someone to hear her song one more time.

Right, Lido?.

Lido!

It's okay, Lime.

Yes. It's just out of batteries.

Really?. Then I can see her again, right?.

That music box! I was right!

It's Lido! Lido!

Did you find it?.

Ah, yeah.

Thank you! I was looking all over for it!

Were you?.

That belongs to you?.

Yes!

My father gave it to me when he went to Romana before he died.

I lost it when we came here to camp two years ago.

Two years ago?.

You've been looking since?.

Not really.

We moved away, but we came back to Japoness a little while ago.

Is that so?.

Lime...

Lime...

Lime...

Take good care of her.

Yes! Thank you!

Bye! Never let go of her again!

I won't! Bye!

Isn't that great, Lido?.

You won't be lonely anymore.

Talk about coincidence.

What are the chances of finding something you lost in this forest.

Maybe this wasn't a coincidence.

What do you mean, Master Otaru?.

I hear fairies live in forests and lakes.

Maybe the fairies living in this forest...

...felt sorry for the music box, and called that boy here.

How could that be possible?.

That's not scientifically possible.

You think so?.

I don't see it...

... but maybe you marionettes with purer hearts than humans could...

...see the fairies of this forest.

Did you see one?.

It's a secret!

I don't need eternity...

Just the moment I spend with you.

I want to feel the passion and sorrow...

I want to feel your heartbeat.

I want to protect and be protected...

By your warm gaze.

It's not about strength...

Let's engrave that deep in our souls.

I do have faith and I do believe...

In the road that I tread from now.

You are here and I am here...

There's nothing else that we need.

Rather than search for the meaning of life...

Feel the life in you now.

Let's search step-by-step...

For something more than simple answers.
