Parumu no ki

---

I go to the darkness of the white forest's spring

To rid myself of memories

Many bitter fruits of the silverberry

And the sad fruit of the kusupia

In the garden full of black flowers

As my tears flow

It is these I must eat

A Tree of Palme

There she is!

What happened? Where did she go?

Bola!

Hey, come on!

Did you see her?! She's a fiend!

She's been up to The Roof... to Touto and back.

To think this Sol Tribe warrior was a woman...

It's Palme, I'll bet...

He's woken up?

How many years has he been silent?

I'm an old man now...

so obsessed with a sap that doesn't exist...

I've lost track of time.

A niger triggerfish!

He's after it again!

Baron! There's going to be lightning!

No, Xian!

That's not crosskahla!

It's a stone! It's just a stone!

Snap out of it, Xian!

Xian!

No, Palme!

Silent once again...

You're made from kooloop wood.

Without your oil, you'll put down roots

just standing in the sun...

like the trees out back.

I have no problem with you

turning back into a tree,

but since I can't erase your memory...

I'm not certain what effect that would have.

The kooloop tree thrives on the

particles of memory it draws up

from the remains of ancient

civilizations buried in the soil.

What kind of grotesque monster

would you become?

Xian!

Xian!

I found it! Look, I found it!

A crow-snake egg...?

Wow, a crow-snake egg... where did you find it?

At the Pointed Rocks, just like you said!

Let's go there again when you get better.

It was very strange...

Look! I brought you kusupia flowers

and berries! Bunches of them!!

It was very strange...

Look! I brought you kusupia flowers

and berries! Bunches of them!!

When you were feeling blue,

Palme was out picking flowers,

making your meals, and running

around full of energy.

Wasn't he, Xian?

Xian!

Ring...

Ring-a-ling...

Ring...

Ring-a-ling...

But the moment you died,

he just stopped functioning.

Xian!

Here we go again...

Xian... Xian...

Palme!

Xian...

Is that an egg, Xian?

Palme's talking!

What kind of an egg? I'll take good care of it.

Wh-who are you? What are

you doing in my house?

Koram. From Tamas.

Tamas? You're from Below?!

Wh-What are you doing here?!

I want the Egg of Touto delivered to Tamas.

Take this sap. It will keep the egg alive.

Don't talk nonsense! To go Below...

Look!

The light of crosskahla?!

It's her!

Th-This is...

Crosskahla.

What? Crosskahla?! I don't believe it!

Xian... Xian spent her life searching for that sap!

Xian...

It makes the same sound as the

pendant you made to imitate it.

Let's go to the Pointed Rocks.

Xian!

Where did you get this? Does it

still exist down Below?

In that condition, where could she have gone?

"The Egg of Touto"...

"The Egg of the Roof?" What could that mean?

Keep it down, will you? My boy's asleep.

Move, old man!

You old drunk!

Wake up, boy! C'mon!

What the hell?

It's a puppet!

Palme! My dear Palme!

This guy's giving me the creeps.

Palme! My dear Palme!

This guy's giving me the creeps.

A Sol Tribe bag!

It was caught on the cliffs out back.

Where's the egg?

Gone, of course.

Where's the egg?

Gone, of course.

Gone, of course.

Drat!

Drat!

Where's the bola pointing?

I don't know. It's not reacting.

The crosskahla has the power

of the sun that travels

across the roof of all Arcana.

It will awaken your dormant functions

and allow you to stay alive.

It's the sap I've been looking for, but

it doesn't matter anymore.

You chase after the niger triggerfish

and call that woman "Xian"

because you want to live.

I can't stop you now.

Listen to me, Palme. Deliver this for her.

Go and find your lost sense of purpose...

for her sake and for yours.

This is the life force she gave you.

Xian... what more could I possibly do?

Listen up! Try not to get too much sun.

And visit Cote Ploire someday.

Xian always wanted you to see the

beautiful city she came from.

Wake up, Palme! Open your eyes! Open them...

Go Below, Palme!

"Palme?"

Go to Tamas, Palme!

"Tamas?"

Bolas! Stay real quiet!

They give me the creeps!

They'd be downright bad luck if they

smelled of death. Scary!

Hey! Out of the way or I'll run you over!

It's Jamji!

Here he comes!

What the hell are you doing? Move! Move!

Of all the luck!

Out of the way! I can't get through!

Don't touch! I won't allow you to steal them!

Wow!

More locks every time!

Damn! I'll give Roualt the signal!

Damn you! Ow!

Pu's giving us the signal. Roualt!

How long does he intend to keep doing this?

What's Shatta thinking?

Stop complaining!

I'm saying it's childish! Here goes!

We're getting you out. Stay back.

Uh-oh!

He missed!

He won't be selling kids for a while!

Serves him right!

Come on!

Huh?

Hey! Quit dawdling or you'll get lost.

Did you hear me?

Forget that! Go home and

you'll get sold off again.

Parents are worthless.

We're going to knock over the Boss of this town

and take Flamingo over.

We've got big plans, see?

For that we need money.

We'll buy a kooloop tree and get rich off the oil!

Not so fast, Roualt...

Shatta!

The night patrol returns!

What a great haul!

Roualt, there's a trader at Gyariko's.

Darumaya? Great!

It's been a while since we've been able

to see Gyariko's treasures.

That slug only opens his warehouse when

she comes, so we gotta hurry!

Where were you, Pu? Hey, a crow-snake!

Come here! Where did you come from?

It's his. It goes wherever he does.

Who?

He says his name's Palme.

Who?

He says his name's Palme.

One of those kids we rescued?

He's slow and completely useless.

One of those kids we rescued?

He's slow and completely useless.

Palme! Don't you have somewhere you need

to be? You'd better get going!

He kind of looks like us... Where are you from?

Stop it, Mu!

"Mu..."

If you pay attention to him, he'll

never leave you alone.

"Mu..."

If you pay attention to him, he'll

never leave you alone.

We're going to Gyariko's.

A new guy?

Hey! Isn't this cool!

Let me have it. C'mon, what do you say?

Cut it out, Roualt! It's his!

Who cares?

In exchange we'll let him join

our gang, right, Pu?

Join our gang?!

Take care of him. Let's go!

"Pu..."

What are you sulking about?!

And no playing cute!

Hello, Gyariko! How are you? It's Darumaya.

Don't just stand there, get in here!

Look! Gyariko's opened up his warehouse!

Wow!

Oh, you're such a tease, Gyariko!

It's true!

I was there all the time!

When Gala danced, every man

in town would be there.

They were all so infatuated with you,

no one would do any work!
