"Goodbye Melmo" "No, absolutely not!" "I cannot permit this!" "We've done enough!" "To help Melmo any further would mean giving her more candies!" "Do you understand this is impossible?" "No." "I won't give up." "I'm still their mother, even here in Heaven!" "Isn't it natural for a mother to worry about her children?" "How can you expect me not to worry when the candy is almost used up?" "!" "When they are all alone and abandoned?" "!" "Our verdict is final!" "God, I beg of you." "Please help my children." "I beg you." "Listen to me well." "I know that Melmo and her brothers have always been good children." "Even without their parents they have faced adversity with courage and patience." "However, from now on they will have to face their problems without the help of the magical candy, so that they can learn to solve problems by themselves." "My poor children..." "Of course, it will now be tough for them, but knowing how to face life's difficulties is the first step to becoming an adult." "My thoughts exactly!" "Let us also remember that humans should not be given magical powers in the first place." "We are in agreement then." "Don't worry dear, I'm certain that Melmo and her brothers will be fine." "Absolutely certain!" "I understand..." "But as a mother I must make one last request." "You may ask." "Please let me see my children and speak with them one last time." "Please grant me this one wish!" "Huh?" "!" "I don't quite understand what I'm hearing." "You no longer have a body." "It's impossible!" "Please God, do something!" "Silence!" "How dare you ask for such a thing?" "I've done it!" "I've done it!" "I've separated them!" "It's really a miracle." "It's a miracle, it's a miracle." "It's a miracle!" "This is what happens when we do what's right." "It's a miracle!" "It's a miracle." "Miracle..." "Things just fall into place when we do what's right." "Argh!" "Those stupid rings!" "That's it!" "Hmph!" "Miss..." "Yes?" " You're lucky lady." "We will grant your wish this one last time." " I'm happy for you." "Thank you so much!" "Even so," "I cannot tell you when your wish will happen." "You understand, don't you?" "Yes, I'm willing to wait no matter how long it takes." "School bell" " Bye!" "See you tomorrow!" " Laters!" " See you Melmo!" " Bye!" "I only have two candies left..." "I don't know what to do..." "Melmo!" "I'm glad I caught you." " I was just heading to your house." " Hey Jiro!" "Are you okay?" "Did something happen?" "No." "It's nothing." "Why were you looking for me?" "Well you see..." "tomorrow is my birthday." "Oh, that's right!" "Happy birthday!" "Anyway, I'd like to invite you to my party." "Say you'll come!" "I'd love to go." "But..." "I don't think I can..." "Why not?" "My brothers..." "Of course you should bring your brothers too!" "But.." "In fact my parents said you should all come!" "So, I'll see you tomorrow!" "Okay, bye! I'm back!" "You're finally home!" "Totoo!" "Touch!" "Oh, Professor!" "Why are you late?" "We've been waiting for a long time." "What's the matter?" "Why were you waiting for me?" "Well.." "You see..." "Perhaps you should sit down, and I'll tell you." "Listen to me carefully." "A few days ago a revolution began in my homeland." "A revolution?" "Yes, exactly." "It was very difficult to survive there, which is why I immigrated to Japan." "It was total chaos!" "The corrupt officials treated the ordinary folk poorly, but they cannot always hold on to their political power!" "Now the people's patience has snapped, and they are bravely protesting against the corrupt officials!" "Heading the revolution is my friend." "It was tough, but they've won the war." "My friend has now been elected president of a brand new government," "And finally the people of my homeland can feel hope once again." "Just today I received a letter from my friend asking for my help." "I must return home immediately and help him." "In consequence, when I leave you three will truly be alone..." "Melmo, I still haven't found a solution for your problem." "Will you follow me to my homeland?" "The country..." "It was a difficult decision." "You are wonderful children." "You can't give me an answer right away." "Professor..." " Wow!" " Cool!" "Happy birthday!" "Happy birthday Jiro!" "Thank you, thank you." "Jiro, happy birthday!" "Thanks!" "Happy birthday Jiro" "Happy birthday" "Happy birthday" "Happy birthday Happy birthday Jiro!" "Happy birthday" "Sis..." "Aren't you going to give this to Jiro?" "Oh yeah!" "But..." "Melmo!" "There you are." "I was worried you wouldn't be able to make it." "Um..." "Happy birthday." "Thanks." "I'm really glad you made it." "Um, this is..." "Come Jiro, let's play a game!" "Hurry, come with us Jiro!" "Wa-wait a minute!" "Melmo, I'll see you later!" "Melmo, if you want to go play with them I can look after Touch." "Don't cry." "If you prefer we can head back to the Professor's house." "No Totoo, if we have to go we'll go together." "Melmo!" "Oh, look, it's Jiro's mother!" "Good evening." "Melmo, if you have time I'd like to talk to you about something important." "Okay." "I'll just get to the point." "We'd really like for you to live with us in our home." "Believe me, I would really love to be your parent." "I'm sure your parents are really worried about you three at the moment." "What do think Melmo?" "We'll take responsibility for you and your brother till you are all adults, and we can move you in when you like." "Our family have already decided on the matter." "Melmo, I'd love for you to live with us." "We're already like brothers and sisters." "But the one who is the happiest is Jirou." "Saburo..." "What do you say Totoo?" "It's a brilliant idea!" "Excellent." "You are now members of this family." "Hurray!" "Bye." "Totoo, Touch." "Jiro take care of Melmo." "Bye Professor, bye!" "Bye!" "Don't worry, I'll take care of them!" "Bye!" "Professor..." "And with the departure of the Professor" "Melmo and her brothers joined a new family." "Time flies by, and 15 years later..." "Jiro!" "Oh, mother." "How is Melmo?" "After all this time she still hasn't..." "Yeah, that's right." "Totoo, what does that mean?" "There's nothing to worry about." "Everyone has to stay calm, especially you Jiro." "Yeah, but I have been waiting a long time..." " The baby!" " It's born!" "Hurray!" "Congratulations!" "She finally did it, are you the father?" "I'm the... father." "The mother and the baby are doing fine." "You have a beautiful baby girl." "Congratulations Jiro!" "You'll be a wonderful father." "I'm so happy for you Jiro." "Congratulations bro!" "Thank you." "Thank you." "Really, thank you!" "Ah, it's you!" "You're late." "What did you bring?" "Presents, of course!" "For you and the baby." "Presents?" "Yup." "This hand rattle, red shoes, a little piano..." " This is a harmonica, and even a book!" " Are you joking?" "She's so small she won't be able to use those things yet." "Isn't that right darling?" "Heh!" "Perhaps it is a little too much." "You really distracted me, but I don't care." "Come in." "Good morning Sis." "What a surprise!" "Even you're here Jiro!" "Why are you so surprised?" "This is my child, and this is my wife so..." "Heh, of course!" "You're right." "Totoo why are you here so early?" "Is there something important you wanted to tell us?" "Of course, I've come to give you this express letter from the Professor." "From the Professor?" "Dear Melmo, I've just heard the happy news." "Congratulations!" "Everyone must be ecstatic!" "I hope your baby will be just like you." "It's almost like a dream, isn't it?" "It's only been 2 years since you married." "Do you remember your wedding day?" "Sis, are you ready?" "Come on in, Totoo." "You look beautiful." "I'm really, really happy for you." "Thank you Totoo!" "I'm so happy!" "I only worry about leaving you and Touch alone." "You'll be okay, right?" "Of course!" "We're old enough to live by ourselves now." "Thank you." "Think of how happy mother would be to see you at this moment." "Totoo, do you remember?" "Of course." "I remember they were a great help when we were young." "Weren't they?" "These are the last two candies remaining." "I've been saving them because I believe these last two candies keep mother's spirit alive." "As long we have these she will always be with us, so I will keep these forever" "as our little secret." "Mother," "I'm so happy." "I now pronounce you husband and wife." "Congratulations Melmo." "I've been waiting for this day so long." "Now that you are happily married" "you can look back at your young days with laughter." "Melmo, Melmo" "Do you know about the red and blue candy that Melmo has?" "Eggs hatch into butterflies, babies become adults" "Becoming small, becoming big - it's awesome!" "Take me to the magical world I've seen in my dreams today too!" "Lala..." "Lala..." "Lala" "Melmo, Melmo" "Do you know about the red and blue candy that Melmo has?" "Lalala..." "Lalala..." "Lalala..." "Lalala..." "What makes humans happy?" "Perhaps it's family?" "Or work?" "Or perhaps being victorious in an important sporting competition?" "Getting good grades at school?" "Or a mother who loves her children more than the world?" "It is love that moves people and makes us equal." "It's from a love between a man and woman that a child is born," "And the parents' love grows from raising their children." "Elsewhere in the world, another man will meet another woman" "and bear fruits from their relationship." "This is a story of men who always run on the same path," "So the cycle continues" "Perhaps this is only way man can find happiness." "I don't know." "But it is certain every child that is born brings happiness." "Thank you Professor..." "And so another year passes." "Crap!" "I've forgotten something." "Here's your wallet and tissues." "Thanks." "I'll see you later darling." " Take care." " Mamma!" "Mamma!" "Huh?" "OH!" "THIS IS BAD!" "NO!" "STOP!" "But you're..." "Melmo." "I've wanted to see you for so long." "Mother!" "Mother, is it really you?" " Yes Melmo, it's really me." " But you're my child transformed?" "I could speak to you one last time." " So I used your beautiful baby." " Oh, mother!" "Dearest Melmo." "But we have only a minute to speak like this." "This was the only time given to me." "Only a minute?" "Yes, but don't you see?" "In this minute we are finally reunited." "Melmo..." "Goodbye Melmo." "Mamma!" "Goodybye Melmo, we must also leave you." "You've come a long way in a short time." "Goodbye Melmo." "Goodbye."
