Ch. 1: The Gentle Star

 

Kingdom of Pertere in the Land of Stars, Month of Air...-

Beneath the sky overflowing with stars, I sought out one particularly brilliant star.

I wonder where it is.

 

Having been invited to this country by Prince Spica, I had heard of a beautiful legend.

 

Within the night sky there is said to be a particular star that outshines all the rest, and if one makes a wish on that star, no matter the desire, that wish will come true…

 

Which star is it...

 

While looking at the twinkling, sparkling stars, I let out a great sigh.

 

It’s no use. I just can’t seem to find it.

 

Spica: “OO?”

 

OO: “Spica.”

 

I looked to my side and noticed Spica standing there, a gentle smile on his face.

 

Spica: “What are you doing? You’ll catch a cold.”

 

OO: “I heard about the wonderful legend in your country.”

 

Spica: “Ah yes, the story of the Gentle Star. If I remember right, there’s a bright star over there in the northern sky.”

 

OO: “Spica…that’s south.”

 

Spica: “Oh. Well, since there are bright stars everywhere, I can’t really tell.”

 

Just as Spica had said, the distant sky was full of countless stars, shining and twinkling.
