[Machine Translation] My mother passed away when I was sixteen years old. My mother, who was a researcher, had been studying Kenji Miyazawa's works, especially "Night on the Galactic Railroad," which has become a cornerstone of the current government's ideological education, and insisted on the existence of the "Fourth Revised Version," which the government denied. I went to Hanamaki with his ashes in accordance with his last will and testament, and suddenly found myself in a downpour two days before Kenji's death on September 21, 1933. I arrived at Kenji's house with one thought in my mind: I might be able to prevent his death, and was greeted by Toshi Miyazawa and her daughter "Scorpion" who had supposedly died prematurely... A novel that will continue to be revised forever, and characters from Kenji's works walking around Hanamaki - a masterpiece of science fiction that transcends the boundaries of time and storytelling!
