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.
