Hitoribotchi No Soyuz Jo

[Machine Translation] I met a girl named Yuliya when I was a child. From the day she called me "Sputnik", I became her satellite and we spent time together as if we were twins. Yuliya's dream is to go to the moon as an astronaut. She wanted to go to the moon because she longed for a world without conflicts and borders. Eventually, Sputnik, too, came to dream of becoming an astronaut and standing on the moon together. However, from the time when they were in the sixth grade, their hearts were separated and they walked separately as if turning their backs to the border line. Then, on a full-moon night before the high school entrance exam - their hearts were connected again. From that day on, Sputnik's long journey began.

「僕」は幼い頃にユーリヤという女の子と出会う。彼女が僕を「スプートニク」と呼んだ日から、僕は彼女の衛星になり、まるで双子のように一緒に過ごす。ユーリヤの夢は宇宙飛行士として月に行くこと。月を目指していたのは、争いや国境のない世界に憧れていたからだ。やがてスプートニクも、宇宙飛行士になって二人で月に立つことを夢見るようになった。だが、小六の頃から、二人の心は離れてしまい、国境線に背を向けるように別々に歩き出した。そして、高校受験を控えた満月の夜―二人の心はまた通じ合った。この日から、スプートニクの長い旅がはじまる。
