This episode is talking about taboos in Chinese. From ancient times, Chinese culture has incorporated a large number of taboos. Many ancient taboos were related to religion and worship. Other taboos were related to the solar eclipse. Also, Chinese people believed that language had a mystical inherent power that could influence certain things to happen. We call it "言灵".

ふたりは 小道を歩きながら、たくさんのことを話しました。
「どうやら ぼくは、この『森』が好きになったよ」
「スキ？『スキ』ってなに？」
「ん？『好き』は・・・『好き』だよ」
「しらないわ、そんな言葉」
「ここには『好き』という言葉がないのかい？」
「それはいったい、なんなの？」
あらためて説明を もとめられると 言葉につまります。
「えっと・・・たとえなにかを犠牲にしても守りたい、という きもちの ことだよ」
「じゃあ、『スキ』が ある いじょう、なにかが犠牲になってしまうことが あるということね？」
ヨナヨナのその言葉は、カンパネラが いままで かんがえもしなかったことでした。

「自分の好きなものを こわす人を うらんだり、自分の大切なものを うばう人を ねたんだり・・・
そうして、空中帝国では まいにちのように 争いがおこっている」
「争いの原因は『スキ』のせいなのね。いますぐ『スキ』なんていう感情はすてるべきだわ」
「それはむりだよ。『好き』という感情は、ながい時間をかけて 空中帝国に住む ぼくたちの
　からだに しみついてしまったものだから」
「私には『スキ』という きもちが理解できない。
　そんなきもちが あることで、犠牲が生まれるなんて信じられないわ。」
ふたりは、人間の世界が ふたつに わかれた原因が、すこしだけ わかったような気がしました。
