To look for the Prince of the Tambourine star-world...
the one with a twinkle in his eye...
Comet has come all the way to the distant world of Earth.
There on Earth, she made friends with a boy, Keisuke-kun...
and he has set off on a voyage to realise his dreams.
His twinkle is very far away now...
but Comet can still sense it all the time.
Comet-san! Comet-san!
We found a big one!
It's really big!
Look at these!
They're huge!
Thank you...
But this one's fine.
What can you hear?
Ocean sounds?
Yeah.
Keisuke doesn't seem to want to open up yet.
Keisuke-niichan?
The conch is a receiver..
A receiver?
If he has something to say, the Princess will hear him in the conch.
Ehhh!?
I wanna step up. I wanna wake up.
I wanna make up. PERFECT!
Comet-san!
Yes!
I wanna come up. Just like so?
MIRACLE~ I just say "Étoile!"
Dash and click your heels— GO!
POWERFUL~ I just say "Étoile!"
Always being myself!
Every new morning, I get up early!
Take a deep breath and... let's get started!
I wanna step up. I wanna wake up.
I wanna make up. DIRECT!
I wanna stand up. I wanna go up.
I wanna come up. Won't I be fine?
MIRACLE~ I just say "Étoile!"
Whistle at full volume— GO!
POWERFUL~ I just say "Étoile!"
Always being myself!
The Storm from the Castanet Star-world
That's enough!
Giving up after three days, Keisuke?
I'm in no mood to write...
I know, I'll go cook!
He just can't help himself...
There!
Is it from Keisuke-niichan?
Yup!
What?
Tell us!
Okay.
Logbook, Day Three.
Sea is calm again today.
The boat made consistent progress.
It's nice and peaceful, but...
if there was more wind, the yacht would go faster.
Am I too restless? Master said "Be patient, our destination is still far away."
Well?
How is Keisuke doing?
He's doing well.
Keitarou-papa is as usual, too.
Let's go and tell Sayaka-mama!
Yes!
Ah... this is a problem...
This problem is a problem...
Oh?
Meteo-san!
What's with her?
She's in a bad mood...
Meteo-san~!
W-Wait up, Meteo-san!
Aaaarghh!
I'm sorry! I'm sorry!
Forgive me, it's all my fault!
What is it?
I'm not a bad girl! Don't hurt me, I beg you!
I'm not a bad girl!!
Meteo-san!
Comet, it's you?!?
What was that about...?
A storm is coming!
A storm?
There'll be a storm?!
This is bad! This is bad!
There'll be a storm! A storm! A big storm...!
I'm worried. So worried. I'm worried to death...
Gales are expected as the typhoon pushes north of the Marianas.
Wind speeds may intensify...
so please listen out for future warnings.
What?
Mama!
There'll be a storm!
Look like it! A big typhoon has formed!
A typhoon?
A type of storm.
A huge storm!
You see now?
I still don't quite see.
The bit of the ocean Papa's in shouldn't be affected.
I heard the sea's quite calm.
Is that so?
He had been reading typhoon forecasts.
So, he must have plotted a safe course?
Keitarou-papa is so cautious!
Yep, no worries!
But how did you know the sea's calm?
I used my...
sixth sense?
Will the typhoon affect us?
Will it?
We don't know yet... But we should get ready anyway.
Huh?
Here, here!
This, this!
What's that for?
Typhoon readiness!
Get ready! Ready!
Eh?
Will they be okay?
Papa'll be fine. But Keisuke's another matter.
You're right... He's so impulsive, after all.
Seems the wind's picking up.
The typhoon?
Yeah.
We'll have to wait for it to pass.
Why? We've finally got a good wind.
I've explained already.
Safety first! This isn't a race, after all.
Come on, let's eat!
Itadakimasu! Itadakimasu!
Rababou?
We'd better stock up on star-power.
When this typhoon hits, anything can happen.
Yes, it's good to be prepared!
Oh little stars...
Please give me your power
Please all focus your power into—
Don't! Don't! DON'T!
What?
Comet, don't collect power now! You'll get caught!
Meteo-san?
The storm!
The storm will get you!
The typhoon is still a long way away.
Typhoon?
What else?
I meant a way more scary storm!
The biggest storm of all!
More deadly than any typhoon! Terrifying to even think about!
Comet! Hurry up and hide!
Hurry up! Hurry up!
I really don't understand.
What my Princess is alluding to...
...is that the Queen is visiting soon.
Meteo-san's mother?
That's why I have to hide! Hurry up and hide me!
Why? Your mother has come all this way.
Don't you want to see her?
But! But, Comet...!
I still have no idea where the Prince is!
I see.
That's right, Comet! Why haven't you been doing a better job?
Huh? Me?
Who else, you!
That bone-head...
That trash-picker...
It's baffling why you hang out with them!
You haven't gone to meet Shun-sama in ages!
That's true.
You can go looking yourself.
I'm not doing that kind of stupid thing! I won't!
What if the Prince isn't even here?!
What am I going to do?!
What a moocher!
Who's this? So impolite!
That's...!
There you are, Meteo!
No use hiding any more!
Is that a... fly-star person?
It's a Castanet Intelligence Agency Fly-starfolk-model robot.
Robot?
Come out in five seconds or I'll explode.
It'll explode?!
No no no! I'm coming out!
I'm com—
It's over.
Princess!
Prin... ce... s... s...?
Priiinnceess...!!!
Meteo-san's mother seems rather fierce.
Fierce? Never mind that! What about the roof!?
Ah...! You're right!
Comet-san! What was that?
You okay?
Ahh...! This is bad!
Comet-san?
Are you alright?
There was a loud noise just now.
Oh! Don't worry!
Meteo-san's mother came to abduct her.
Bweh...! Abduct her?!
So... that was just Meteo-san?
That girl is quite the storm, right?
Storm!? Storm!?
Is the storm here?
Where is it?
Just a figure of speech.
Come on, let's go eat!
Comet-san!
Where's the storm?
I wonder if it's still outside?
It's not there.
They've already left.
I was planning on saying hello.
Aw.
Aww.
So, what's with the umbrellas?
It's for the wind!
If we open it, we'll fly in the wind!
The wind will let us fly!
We'll fly super high!
It'll be amazing!
That'll never work!
It will!
The last typhoon almost blew me away!
Nene almost flew too!
I doubt you can fly without star-power.
We can't?
No flying?
Kids, it's dinner time!
Alright!
We're coming!
Nene's coming!
Tsuyoshi too!
Even Keisuke's dining too!
What is it?
Princess?
Master, let's go!
We can't go!
We have to go!
That ship has sent out a distress call!
Shush!
I hear you!
Can you hear me? Repeat your coordinates!
We're at...
—!
Master, set sail!
No, we can't!
Master!
What's wrong, Princess?
Oh no...
We need rescue!
We can't come! We can't come!
We have...
... engine trouble...
Eh?
...taking on water...
We're sinking!
Master!
Keisuke, raise anchor.
Princess?
They need me.
Hurry up!
Comet-san!
We're starving!
I-I have to go out for a bit.
Right now?
I'm sorry.
I have to help a friend.
But dinner...
It's yummy fried tofu!
You can't just not eat!
Then...
I'll take some with me!
Where are you going?
To where Keisuke is.
Tsuyoshi will go!
Nene will go too!
Sorry. It's too big a storm.
A storm?!?
Ah, don't tell Mama that.
I don't want her to worry.
Wait, Comet-san!
What?
Take this with you!
Maybe it'll let you fly!
So, you mean, you haven't found the Prince yet.
That's putting it bluntly, but yes.
Are you to blame, Mook? Is this your fault?
Nooo~!
The plan was to let Comet-sama search and then exploit that!
Exploit that?
Is that so?
That is a very clever plan. As expected of my daughter.
So it's the fault of the Harmonica Star Princess, for not finding the Prince.
Right! Exactly right!
Comet-sama is on the move!
Comet?
What are we gonna do?
Keisuke is too far away! The Star Tunnel won't reach!
I know...! So, instead...
Heed me, trillions of little stars.
Transform your radiant shine
and your many powers
into my star-power...
Étoile!
Come quickly, please!
There!
The Star Train!
Thank you!
Keisuke, get the sail stowed!
Yes sir!
Tie it down!
Yes sir!
I'll definitely...
definitely save you...!
So then, Keisuke is trying to rescue that trawler!?
Yes.
He's entering the storm.
Is this what it takes to be a lifeguard?
I've never considered that.
Why does Keisuke want to be a lifeguard?
I thought he just liked the sea.
Mother...
Comet is going after that fool Keisuke...
Boring people like that are a waste of our time.
Meteo!
Do you know why I have come down to Earth?
W-Why?
Why, you ask?
I'm here to correct your superficial way of thinking!
The missing Tambourine Star Prince... is very likely pretending to be an Earthling.
In fact, not just that... he might have no memory of his own true identity!
But eventually, his greatness will be revealed.
For, you see...
The Triangle Nebula's future rests in his hands...!
I feel a strong twinkle... It's Keisuke!
Can I get off here?
No way! Not in this storm!
But...
It's calm over there!
Thank you!
You ready?
Holding tight!
Alright!
It's so windy!
Princess! I found them!
Eh...? Oh no!
M...Master!
A bit to the left! The left!
Almost there!
Yes... Now, Keisuke!
I've got it!
Pull!
... It worked... Tsuyoshi-kun, Nene-chan...
But I can't control it at all!
Quick, get aboard!
Is that everyone?
No... we're still missing one...!
My Pa's still out there! Lemme help my dad!
What—?
Uh... Keisuke, don't do it!
Keisuke... KEISUKE...!
What's he thinking? Why's he endangering himself to save a stranger?
Why?
The ship!
Daddy...!!
Stay on the boat!
Or you'll drown too!
But...
Daddy's still out there!
Lemme go!
SAVE MY DADDY!!
SAVE HIM!
DADDY!
I've trained for this day...!
Trained hard for this very day...!
I'm no longer who I once was...!
DADDY!
I'll definitely save you...!
I'll save you!
Survive!
You have to survive!
That young man's father perished in a shipwreck...
Yet he still loves the ocean, and tries to save lives.
Isn't that amazing?
Isn't that nature befitting of a Prince?
Meteo! Why are you standing there? Go out and help him! Go!
Ehh...? Me?
You heard right, go and help!
Go and... HELP—!
Mother...! I can't swim!
PRINCESS...!!
Oh... is that so?
Save me! Save me! Save me!
Princess, use star-power!
Obviously! But I can't get my baton out! I can't!
Huh?!
Comet!
Hold on... I'll find Keisuke...!
Comet!
C-Comet...
A little further...
Just a little further...!
Dammit!
Come on... come on!!
Keisuke!
Wake up!
Who...
Who is calling to me?
Keisuke.
Keisuke!
Don't give up.
It's her again...
Always her...
She's always there—
— beside me!
I'm coming!
Keisuke!
Comet.
Take my hand.
Meteo-san...
Eh?!?
Will that man recover?
Yup, don't worry.
Now listen, Keisuke.
Never ever do that again.
At sea, rashness does not equal courage!
Yes sir! I'll remember!
You were just lucky this time.
Maybe... I saw a spirit down there.
A spirit?
Yeah. The spirit of a cute girl.
I think I saw a spirit too.
You too?
Some huge thing floated in the sky and then vanished!
Maybe it's the ghost of your father's ship, here to save you.
My father?
Another strange thing...
Strange?
Look at this.
Where's that from?
Found it in your lifeboat.
However I look at it, it's my wife's fried tofu...! Want a taste?
Yes! My belly's rumbling!
Thank goodness!
Princess, he's alright!
He's pretty amazing.
I've only now realised.
Yup, he's amazing. His twinkle is so bright.
Then let's take him back to the Castanet star!
Yes, we don't know if he is the real Prince. But he has clearly the potential to be one.
He would be useful as insurance back home...
With no real Prince, he could be our backup.
But Mother!
His talent must be cultivated first. It's too soon to take him away!
Meteo-san...
Well said, my daughter! How insightful!
It is wise to think ahead, but you will be responsible, yes?
I'm responsible! I always am!
You have spirit, Meteo.
It relieves me to see that spirit.
Then I shall return home... You have your task, right?
Meteo-chan~
W-Wait, shouldn't that be her job!!!
Comet!
PRINCESSSS!!
Meteo-san!
Okay. You too.
Hmm... what now?
Meteo-sama's mother sure is Meteo-sama's mother...
Oh well, let's ride the wind home!
Not a bad idea!
Tsuyoshi-kun and Nene-chan will be so jealous.
Yup, we'll have to let them know! So let's go home!
Let's go!
We're off!
This is great!
Logbook, Day Four. We made it through the storm.
But I was helped by a mysterious power...
Like there's someone out there, looking out for me.
Was it really... my father? Who knows...?
Oh you, Keisuke...
