Sh-She's quite, uh...

Large...

She really is.

Farine, are you all right?

Yes, I'm quite all right.

Touch and go, Catch the sun!

Doushite bokura wa deattandarou

What brought us together?

All of history looks boring

The heaven-sent password clicks right in

And we're connected throughout all of space

Souzou kigen no taidou ga kikoete iruka...?

Can you hear the sound of a new world coming?

Take off to the bustling sky with our amber jets

Full throttle to wherever your heart takes you!

Touch and go, Catch the sun!

The Sky Priestess and Star People

You are all from down below?

Welcome to my home.

As much as I would love to enjoy some tea with you,

this really isn't a good time, unfortunately.

Right.

Pega was worried that something had happened to you or the Starwhale.

Was he?

Behind you!

Forgive me.

As you can see, the Starwhale is suffering from an illness.

When it is ill, it condenses the toxins inside it into these dark beings.

I call them "disease demons."

The disease demons are what make the Starwhale ill,

and if they begin pouring out of the Starwhale,

they will wreak havoc upon the islands of the Starsea and the land below.

I see...

We don't want that to happen.

How can we cure the Starwhale of its illness?

The Starwhale loves songs very much.

The star people's song will give the Starwhale strength,

allowing it to fight the disease.

The star people?

Maybe there's a whole country inside the Starwhale.

Aria, was it?

I think she was one of the star people as well.

Although she seemed a little odd for one.

Aria?

You know Aria?

Yes.

She helped one of our friends when he got lost alone.

She was having trouble walking,

and she couldn't remember why she was here.

I see...

Where is she now?

She's traveling with another group we brought here.

They're looking for the Flame Dragon, as we lost him on the way.

Oh, the Flame Dragon?

He's already big enough to carry all of you, isn't he?

I will go and find him.

I will take you to the star people,

and then tell you more about what's happening.

But...

That sprite of me will lead the way.

Nice to meet you!

You go and find Char's friends,

and you find the Flame Dragon.

Okay!

That's Griff.

He won't bite.

They must be old friends.

Huh?

Are you okay, Aria-san?

What's wrong?

Are you feeling all right?

I'm fine.

Just a bit of a headache.

Hey, I got a call from Shinku!

Someone's gonna lead us to them!

Got it!

Let's find a place where you can rest.

Bear with it until our escort arrives, okay?

Sky priestess, you are so big!

It's because I am a descendant of the local deities you know and love,

just like that fox lady traveling with you.

Ah, so you were!

It was a long time ago that I decided to live with the Starwhale...

and take responsibility as the sky priestess.

It's quite nice, except for this illness.

The reflecting pool lets me see not only inside the Starwhale,

but also outside, and even the people down below.

I see.

We're almost there.

This is the village of the star people,

blessed with the gift of water.

Okay, time to go down.

What?

Priestess, I think this is too far of a fall.

Oh.

It's okay!

We can carry you all down!

Look at that statue!

That's exactly like the star people in our books!

That's the statue of the last elder of the village.

The star people can breathe in air and water

and swim faster than fish!

We'd call them mermaids back home!

Mermaids?

But now...

Huh?

Oh?

That's the priestess, and...

People from down below?

I've seen them before, too.

It's me, Farine!

I'd like to talk about some things with you and these people from down below!

A-Are you all right?

You all don't seem well...

The disease demons have infected them as well.

And once we're infected, we get...

Headaches, fevers, joint pain, and much more...

The worst part is the sore throat.

A lot of us can't speak at all.

This is what's behind it all.

We're doing well compared to some of the others, but...

There are a lot of very sick people underwater.

Some of them can't even get out of bed.

Not to mention Aria is nowhere to be seen...

About her...

Hey!

Hey!

Guys!

We're here!

Nanami, everyone!

Where'd the boat come from?

It's one of my secret gadgets!

This girl isn't doing too well.

Have you got a place where she can rest?

Y-Yes.

Wait, Aria!

What?!

How'd you end up with these people?

Oh, Aria!

You know her?

Of course!

She lives here!

And she's our diva!

She's the most important person in the Star Festival.

She disappeared two days ago, and we were so worried about her.

As far as we could tell, she doesn't remember anything except for her name and the disease demons.

She can't speak, either.

I see...

But at least she's all right.

I don't know how this happened,

but she'll be fine once she recovers!

The Starwhale swallows many things.

It can swallow tainted air and miasma and purify it in its body.

It's what keeps the sky clean.

I hear the voice of the Starwhale,

and the star people sing their songs of healing and festivity.

That keeps the Starwhale in good health

and the ecosystem within it rich.

This village is usually much prettier than this.

It's especially dark right now.

We've dealt with the disease demons before,

but the diva and star people's songs cured it very quickly.

But—

most of the star people can't sing this time around.

And our Diva has no voice or memory of anything.

The Starwhale is suffering as well.

I can hardly hear it.

I don't know what to do...

Will getting rid of the disease demons do the trick?

They are born from the Starwhale's flesh.

Although you could decrease their numbers,

it's not effective in the long run.

Um...

I have a question.

Go ahead.

Does the Starwhale only like the song of some particular people?

Of course!

She must have a beautiful, soothing voice.

And, of course, be a good singer.

Then, uh...

I might know someone fit for the job!

I see, there are people down below who can sing!

Of course we can!

And we're talking about a world-class superstar!

Good thing I brought a video player!

I was wondering why that was in your chest!

You're a real genius.

Our princess' song is undeniably a large part of Biscotti culture!

I wanted to share it with the people of the Skysea!

And it's rolling!

My dreams will surely come true

Yume wa kanau kitto

Negai goto ga afure dasu

I have so many things to wish for

I will find you now

Tsukamaeru yo ima

In the light

Hikari no naka de

What a beautiful voice.

Such a great song.

Huh?

Whoa!

I'm feeling better all of a sudden!

I want to convey to you

Todoketai tsutaetai

I feel a lot less weary now.

these feelings I have for you

Taisetsu na kono omoi

And the love that I kept in my heart

Mune no oku ni dakishimeteta itoshii kimochi wa

Wow, I can sing now!

In the sky, in the wind

Aoi sora kaze no naka

Can I let the others hear this too?

A summer flower blooms

Natsuiro no hana ga hiraku

Absolutely!

This is my chance

Ima koko ni aru koi no chance

Wonderful.

She can sing the song for the Star Festival!

Shinku and I will go get the princess!

The double hero express will be back in a flash!

Good luck!

We'll take care of things here!

Lead the way, priestess.

Got it.

All right...

See you soon!

Take care!

Okay, what do we do now?

You should be safe here.

We could fend off some of the disease demons.

My true body should be luring and defeating the larger ones,

but I would appreciate any help I could get.

All right.

We're on it!

Rico, you should be our headquarters.

Stay here with Aria-san.

Roger that!

Char, Chief, could you stay here?

Can't leave the professor alone in case anything happens.

Roger!

Understood.

Don't you want to beat up some really big game?

Definitely.

We don't want the ladies to have much trouble.

Well, I think they're tough enough to fend for themselves.

Those four make one hell of a team.

They really do.

But...

I hope Aria's all right.

Gaul-sama seemed awfully worried about Aria-san, huh?

He doesn't seem like the type to do that.

It could be because she saved him, but...

Maybe it's because she's so pretty!

Yeah, she might be right down his alley.

Yeah!

First it was Leo-sama's turn,

and now it's time for Gaul to shine!

I wonder how Leo-sama feels about this.

I'm pretty sure she likes Lief.

And Gaul-sama...

We're his old friends and guards,

so his love life definitely has us...

interested.

Is there no chance it'd be one of you?

No way.

I agree.

He doesn't seem like that type.

Although it's nothing like love...

We've got a special bond between us.

And it's very, very strong.

As in the bond between a lord and his guards?

As life-long friends and allies through both good and bad times.

We're basically family at this point.

It's like I have a little brother and two little sisters.

Really?

We've been waiting for you!

You'd better be ready...

To have a taste of this!

Bring it on!

Take a right here!

The Starwhale's mouth is open right now!

I see it!

We're outside!

I'll go down below with you.

Thank you!

I'll call the princess!

I should ask Cou-sama for help, too!

I wonder what happened to Aria-dono.

I don't know...

She doesn't look too good.

I did bring some medicine,

but I'm not sure what effect it'll have on the star people.

It's okay.

It's the thought that counts.

Aria was always looking at the people down below.

She was always watching through the reflecting pool.

You know, those, uh, war shows?

Those cool festivals?

We have a lot of those.

She really liked those,

and said that she wanted to go and watch sometime.

We'd always tell her that it was impossible.

It's not impossible at all!

But down below is all land and hardly any water!

And I heard most of the water is saltwater anyway.

Well, yes...

We can't stay out of clean, fresh water for too long.

Our technology can take care of that!

Let's see...

We prepare a large engine, get a box or bowl made of crystal panels,

fill it with pure water,

and a little this, and a little that...

How's this look?

This will let us have any number of any size for any number of people,

and we've got the technology to adjust the temperature and maintain the purity of the water.

I see...

This would let us star people explore the land.

Yeah.

It's great!

I'm sure Aria would love to hear this.

We should've tried to contact the people down below earlier.

It's difficult for us to come to the Starsea.

We had to ride the Flame Dragon up here.

Only heroes and lords with flying sacred weapons can come on their own.

Oh, I've heard about a hero that came here!

Yes, there was.

It was Adele and her comrades.

We have her autograph in our grandmother's house!

Do you know about Adele-sama, the hero?

Oh, do we know her!

She just told us her old tales a few days ago!

She's still alive?

Wow!

She's very, very youthful.

And I was adopted and raised by one of those comrades!

It all shows how small this world actually is.

Indeed!

Who's that?

I don't know...

But I've seen him somewhere...

Aria...

He...

doesn't feel right to me...

Be careful, everyone!

Are you Aria-dono's friend?

Move.

Farine-dono!

Priestess!

Hold it right there!

This is...

the disease demon's toxin!

Give Aria back!

Everybody, take Aria and hide!

Got it!

Flower storm!

Begone!

Fox god, Priestess!

Demon, begone!

Go away!

Aria...

Our promise...

Are you...

Are you Verde?

Move.

I'm hearing some trouble from the village.

Really?

Aria.

Aria...

You promised me.

Sing your song to me...

and only me.

Verde?

Like the stars we were counting as we kept walking along

Tachidomarazu aruite hoshi wo kazoeru you ni

our bond will shine forever

Kesenai kizuna ga hikaru yo

Our dreams have taken off, guiding the way

Yume wa hashiridashita bokura wo michibiiteru

Let's shape the world to make our wish come true

Negai wo komete egaku sekai

These precious feelings

Mamoritai kimochi wa kitto

Will give me the courage to move ahead

Tachimukau yuuki kurerunda

I want you to know exactly how I feel

Massugu tsutaetai kara

Singing, la la la

Utauyo la la la

To you, la la la

Todokete la la la

I've never forgotten your light shining bright in my heart

Wasurenai mune no oku de kagayaiteru kimi ga kureta hikari

Together, la la la

Issho ni la la la

I wish, la la la

Negauyo la la la

Your hand feels warm in mine

Tsuyoku nigirishimeru te wa atatakaku

I'll never let go

Kono mama zutto hanasanai yo

Aria's song is mine,

and what's mine is... uh...

I'll save you, Aria!

We'll see you!

Song of the Stars

Next time...
