​

Weaving our way between the stars, the shooting star Ster and I rode glided through the night sky…-.

 

My feet touched the ground and I looked into Ster's eyes, forgetting to blink.

 

Did I just ride a shooting star? I was surprised the first time I used the Moon Road to cross the sky too, but riding a star…

 

Ster: "…"

 

Ster was looking at me, his expression full of disbelief.

 

OO: "I'm sorry, I…"

 

For the first time, I realized I had unconsciously wrapped my arms around myself.

 

I-it's cold.

 

There was a layer of snow at my feet, and an intense cold enveloped my body.

 

Ster: "I can't believe I brought someone along…"

 

Ster let out a small sigh and brushed the snow from my shoulders.

• Ster, your hand (SUN)

• So many strange things (MOON)

OO: "That was my first time riding a star. Can everyone in Meteobel do that?"

 

I was so embarrassed that the question came out too fast.

 

Ster: "Only members of the Meteobel royal family. On nights when there are falling stars, we can ride the shooting stars, coming and going between the worlds and Meteobel. If we're going to the smaller planets though, we don't need the falling stars."

 

OO: "That's amazing…"

 

I let out a sigh of wonderment, and Ster turned his gaze up to the stars in the sky.

 

Ster: "Just now…I suppose it was this star. There's something I have to do. Once this is over I'll send you back."

 

OO: "Something you have to do?"

 

Ster: "I came because there's a wish to be granted."

 

OO: "A wish to grant?"

 

Ah…I'm doing nothing but ask questions again.

 

Ster: "…that's right."

 

Ster spoke calmly, without blaming me for what had happened.

 

Though his tone was cold, he casually walked over the snow in front of me and packed it down.

 

Ster: "People in my family borrow the power of the stars, and are given the power to grant people's wishes. And in exchange for granting people's wishes, the smaller planets are able to get more powerful. Today I could feel the earnest wish from this planet here. It was on my way to do my job that I was attacked by the Dream Eaters."

 

OO: "So that's what happened…I think it's wonderful that you tell your wishes to the falling stars."

 

However…-.

 

Ster: "Wonderful? Falling stars disappear sooner or later. Do you think that's wonderful?"

 

OO: "Eh? I think it's very wonderful but…"

 

The crunching of footsteps in the snow stopped as Ster froze.

 

OO: "Ster…?"

 

Ster: "…no, it's nothing."

 

I saw Ster's pale cheeks turn slightly red.

 

Ster: "Let's get this over with and send you back."

 

Seeing his face in profile like that almost made it seem as if he would disappear into the night sky. I reflexively tugged on his sleeve.

 

Ster: "What?"

 

My thoughts spun frantically at his question.

 

OO: "Um…"

 

I know…

 

OO: "If it's okay, would you take me with you for a little while? I want to see…what it's like to travel and grant wishes."

 

I had come up with the plan on the spot, but I realized it was true.

 

My heart had been pounding ever since that magical ride on a shooting star.

 

OO: "It's wonderful, like a fairy tale…"

 

Ster gave a careful, yet hesitant nod.

 

Ster: "I can't ignore the words of my benefactor."

 

OO: "Are you sure?"

 

Ster: "It'd be a problem if I forced you to stay here."

 

Though the way he spoke was cold, Ster still gently brushed off the snow that had continued to fall on my shoulders and hair.

 

Ster: "You're shaking…if you stay out like this, you'll catch a cold."

 

Ster once again let out a thin, long sigh and created a shooting star.

 

This time he didn't catch it and simply whispered something to it, then the hourglass at his chest lit up and…-.

 

OO: "Wow…!"

 

A thick, pure white coat appeared out of nowhere.

 

OO: "That's amazing! Thank you."

 

Ster: "…it was nothing."

 

He put the coat over my shoulders and…it was like it had been made especially for me.

 

OO: "It's warm."

 

I smiled up at him, and Ster happily smiled back.

 

Ster: "…good."

 

Eh…

 

He had always been expressionless, but this sudden disarming smile made my heart leap.

 

Ster: "Let's go."

 

He held his hand out to me.

 

It was hard, and cold as ice, but strangely my cheeks heated up.
