Loves
Oh, nice! This gift's a real bullseye! Your thoughts hit me dead center! Alright! Since you gave it to me, I'll teach you all about this thing!
A-Are you serious!? I didn't think you could even find this around here! Kaede...this makes me so happy! Gimme a hug!/As expected...no, great job! I'm so happy!
Huh? You're giving this to me? T-Thanks, it's just...unexpected for you to give me something like this.
Likes
Are you giving this to me? Haha, you know me so well! Alright! As thanks for this cool gift, I'll tell you a cool story!
Oh, that's pretty interesting. This is almost the perfect gift a Luminary of the Stars! You're on the right path.
OK
You've got a bunch of stuff, huh? You're not just trying to unload some garbage on me, right?
Huh? What's this? Where'd you get it? Well, if it's a gift from you, then I'll totally accept it.
Dislikes
Are you kidding me? What am I supposed to do with this? What's up with you? This isn't like you, man!
Did you really think I'd like something like this? C'mon, man... Are you making fun of me? Nah you wouldn't, but...
Hates
H-Hold up...don't put that near me. You got it? Why do you even have such a weird thing? Toss it in the garbage!
Hey...we can still pretend it was just a joke, so put that away.

???
Geez... How'd they even make this big-ass wall?
Seriously...I just don't get it.
I wonder what will happen now... If we can't escape, then--
What, are you complaining?
Huh?
Quit complaining and grumbling, or it'll turn into a habit.
Besides, this cage is nothing compared to the vastness of the universe!
Huh? The universe?
Oops, I haven't introduced myself yet. My bad.
I'm Kaito Momota, Luminary of the Stars! Even crying children adore the Ultimate Astronaut!
How 'bout it!? I'm an astronaut! Isn't that cool!?
Y-Yeah... I've never been to space, so I don't know much about it...
Haha! Well, of course! Not just anyone can get up there! I may be an astronaut, but... I'm actually still in training.
Oh, I see. So you're still a trainee...
But I'm the first teenager to ever pass the exam! I mean, normally you need a college degree to even take the exam.
Huh? Then how did you take the exam?
I had a friend who was pretty crafty... So I had him forge some stuff for me.
That's illegal!
Yeah, I ended up getting caught. I was in pretty deep shit! But the people up top decided they liked me and let me in anyway. 'Course I aced the exam too.
Th-That's reckless...
Sometimes you gotta be a little reckless to make your dreams a reality! No way I can wait till after college! I wanna get to space as fast as I can!
...You sure have a lot of...energy.
Yeah, everyone told me it was impossible, but I never gave up! Not for a moment! That's because...limits don't exist unless you set them yourself!
There are no walls you can't get over! The same goes for that one!
So do you have any ideas?
...
Th-That's not the problem!
Um...no, that *is* the problem. Geez, this guy sure talks big game.

Hey, Kaede. Will you teach me to play piano?
Huuuuh!?
What? Why are you so surprised?
Because I never would've guessed you'd be interested in playing the piano...
Oh! But I'm happy that you're interested! I'll definitely teach you!
Really? Thanks! That'll be a big help once I go to space.
Playing the piano is gonna help you when you go to space...?
Of course! What if I meet an alien?
Sorry...I don't follow. I mean, do aliens even exist? I'm sure if they did, it'd be a world-changing event, right?
Well, we haven't confirmed any, but... It's silly to think that humans are alone in this vast universe.
Plus, isn't it more exciting to think they're out there somewhere?
Exciting, huh? Well, I guess...
So, if there are aliens...do you want to try to communicate using the piano?
Not just piano, any music! Even singing would work.
Communicate by singing... He's been watching too much anime.
What's with that face... You think it's impossible, don't you? I think it's totally possible to communicate with music. After all, there's music on the Voyager Golden Record!
The Voyager Golden Record...?
Wh-What? You've never heard of it!?
Well, I guess it *was* a while ago, so it's not that weird you wouldn't know about it...
Were these Voyager Golden Records sold in stores back in the day?
It wasn't sold. It was shot up in space.
Sh-Shot up?
It was put on a spacecraft called the Voyager. It was a message to any aliens that found it. It had greetings in a bunch of languages, images of landscapes...and also music.
Ohhh! I didn't know they did that!
There was another spacecraft called the Pioneer that had a message on a plaque. The Voyager and Pioneer were sent to the ends of the universe...and they're still going. If aliens do find them, they might try to analyze the record and contact Earth.
Contact with aliens, huh... maybe it'll happen one day.
Yeah! In the not-too-distant future, in fact! I, Kaito Momota, Luminary of the Stars... ...will be the first human to ever come in contact with an alien!
...Where does he get this confidence from?
But communicating with the aliens by music... That might be possible. I know well that music can transcend words and language to unite hearts as one.
Oh god, I'm starting to sound like a hopeless romantic like Kaito! Hahaha...
After parting ways with Kaito, I returned to my room.

I've been thinking this for a while, but... Kaede, you'd make a pretty good astronaut.
Who, me? But why?
First off, you're able to both cooperate with people and lead them. I haven't even had to rally everyone together yet because you've beat me to it.
I-Is that so?
But you do tend to go ahead on your own sometimes.
That's true...
Compared to me, you've still got a lot to learn! How about I make you my sidekick?
Should you really be suggesting that when you're still a trainee...?
So what do you think? You wanna try taking the astronaut exam once we get outta here?
But I'm still in high school... Don't you need a college degree to become an astronaut?
That's okay! I can just ask a guy I know and we can get you in...
You can't do that! You're an exception to an exception, aren't you? Besides, I'm not that interested in space. I'm sure others would be more suited.
I see. Well, it's fine if you're just not interested... After all, the universe is a harsh place. Only a few people can go up there right now. But once we astronauts open up a path into space...
People with artistic skills like you will be able to go there too.
Really?
For sure! I'm going to take the culture that grew on Earth and spread it across the universe!
What do you think? Do you want to follow in my footsteps now?
I'd rather stay on Earth...
I'd rather stay on Earth...
What the heck!? Are you really *that* uninterested in the universe?
Yes, plus going into space sounds really dangerous and scary.
I told you, it's our job as astronauts to get rid of those dangers, right? Just relax and follow the trail I'll blaze!
...
Yeah, that would be amazing.
Yeah, that would be amazing.
Right? I'm so excited to see what kinds of things the people that come after me will do!
...
Do they need a pianist?
Do they need a pianist?
What are you saying!? Don't overthink things! There isn't any unnecessary art or technology in this whole world!
Like I said, before, I'm sure that music will travel across the universe and connect all life. You could work towards that... See? Isn't it exciting just thinking about it?
...
Um... You might get mad at what I'm about to say, but...
Hm? What's wrong? I won't get mad, so just say it.
I thought you wanted to travel to space, and that's it. But you're already thinking about what you'll do afterward.
Of course! I'll create a path for the people who come after me! That's my role!
I promise I'll make a path out of here too, so don't worry!
Oh, okay... He tried to convince me of his goals, despite having no way to pull them off... Only Kaito could be this confident without a plan...
After parting ways with Kaito, I returned to my room.

You got something to tell me? Don't hold back! I'll listen!
You're pretty enthusiastic about this... Ah, well, you're an astronaut trainee, right, Kaito?
Sure am! I'm still a trainee, but I'm gonna be accepted for sure!
Training to be an astronaut must be hard… Can you handle it?
No problem! My training's a piece of cake!
Kaito was grinning at me, but then, his expression turned serious.
Well, to be honest, it's about as intense as intense can get. But the universe is harsh. You gotta be able handle any situation.
Any situation...
The first two years is basic training... It's pretty straightforward. You learn the skills needed to be an astronaut! Medicine, aeronautical engineering, scuba diving, linguistics, survival training... You pretty much just gotta master everything.
Survival training? You have to do that too?
Yeah, for emergencies where I gotta make an unexpected return from space.
That's right, I suppose you do risk your life to be an astronaut.
Ah, that reminds me, I remember watching something on the news... There's a training facility for astronauts at the bottom of the ocean, right?
Right! It's pretty famous! It's a little different from basic training though.
Alright! Pop quiz! What's the most important thing an astronaut needs?
Huh? Ah, um...
Perseverence?
Perseverence?
Sure, that's necessary. But there's something more important than that. The seafloor facility exists to help people train this specific thing! And that thing is...
Communication! The most important thing for an astronaut is teamwork.
A healthy body?
A healthy body?
Yeah, that's true... You bring up a good point.
But there's something more important than that. And that thing is...
Communication! The most important thing for an astronaut is teamwork.
A talent?
A talent? If you don't have any expertise, going to space would be out of the question.
Well, that makes sense. You have to run a bunch of tests out in space.
But no matter what talent you've got, there's one thing you absolutely need. And that thing is...
Communication! The most important thing for an astronaut is teamwork. The universe is a frontier that the people of the world challenge together. And since we need to work together, communication is vital!
That does sound quite important...
Right? They check that in the recruitment exam. That's why you need language training! It makes up a fourth of basic training. Of course, I can speak Japanese, English, and Russian all fluently! I didn't just learn the languages, I had to learn each culture, too.
The culture, huh? I never thought I'd hear Kaito... ...Ah, wait. Now that I think about it... He can speak multiple languages, is well-learned, and has what it takes to be an astronaut. ...I've been underestimating him. Kaito is incredible!
Damn it! I wanna get back to training! The universe is getting away from me! The world needs this Luminary of the Stars to shine even brighter!
...I don't have the heart to tell him that I'm not so sure about that.
Kaito and I went our separate ways, and I returned to my room.

Alright! Today I'm gonna tell you about me!
What?
You wanna know, right? Why I feel so strongly about the universe!?
Ah...
Good! I thought so!
I haven't even answered yet!
Fair warning, this'll be a long story...
So not only are you going to force me to listen, it's a long story...
When I was a kid, I'd go to my gramps' place to play sometimes... He had a pretty big warehouse. I'd run through it looking for treasure. One day, while I was looking around in the warehouse, I found a map...
A map? Of what?
Hold on! One thing at a time! It was a map of the hidden treasures of the sea... A treasure map!
I thought this was supposed to be a story about outer space!
After I found that map, I made a decision and set out... I went to the nearest pawn shop and sold the map for some cash!
You sold it!?
There's no way I, Kaito Momota, Luminary of the Stars, would ever follow a map to adventure! A life free from maps, finding my own adventures...that's the life for me!
Ah, I see...
But the sea still called me, so I bought a boat and went on a voyage.
I can't tell if he's demented or just really blunt...
Soon after becoming a captain, I met my destined rival!
Your rival?
Yeah! The boss of the Great Pirates!
...So what happened to outer space!?
We clashed on the field of battle many times, to the point we became friends... But during our final battle to see who would conquer the seas... I could've won, but I'm not the kind of guy to be satisfied with just the sea.
No! I'm not the kind of guy to be satisfied with just the world! That's why I couldn't finish him off with a final punch... He got mad at me for holding back. We haven't met since that day...
... Even with the benefit of the doubt, this story sounds a little suspect...
How much longer is this story?
How much longer is this story?
What, do you think I'm making this all up?
N-No, that's not what I meant! It's just that this has nothing to do with space...
That part's coming! Just chill out and listen. Don't be so impatient.
Well, I guess it's taken a while... Alright! We'll continue this next time!
You could be a writer, Kaito...
You could be a writer, Kaito...
A writer!? Hah, I guess I could write my autobiography about the universe. It'd become a must-have book for guys trying to become astronauts.
...Not exactly what I meant.
Well, I guess it's taken a while... Alright! We'll continue this next time!
(I'll just keep listening...)
I'll just keep listening...
Hey...it's written all over your face...
Huh? What is?
You're not taking this seriously, are you!? If it's boring, just say so! Pretending to listen is super unmanly!
Ah, no! I'm not bored or anything! It's really interesting, Kaito!
Oh, really? I guess I misunderstood. My bad!
...
Well, I guess it's taken a while... Alright! We'll continue this next time!
Ah, okay... I suppose this story has a part two. I wonder where it will end...

Hey! If you're back, that means...
Haha! You really want to listen to my stories, huh!? Well, if you say so!
*You* were the one who said you'd finish the story next time...
So where did we leave off?
You were fighting off rival hordes of pirates and had just left your ship.
That's right! Umm, what happened after that...?
Oh, I remember! Something amazing happened before I got off my boat!
You say it was amazing, but you forgot it? ...I'll keep it to myself.
After the battle, I was headed for a port, but...I got caught in a storm. I thought I was done for, but right when I was preparing for the first... My boat was eaten by a whale!
Ah. I see.
What kinda reaction is that!? You think I'm lying!? It was a whale, man! The second smartest thing in this world after me! It probably saw my greatness and hid me in its stomach, away from the storm.
I didn't expect this kind of tall tale from you, Kaito.
Once I made it to the port and stepped onto land, something occurred to me... I tried to conquer the sea...and it won. So I decided my next move would be...
Ah! He's finally to the outer space part...
To conquer the land!
...
I sold my boat and all my possessions and I entered the jungle! And much like the sea, it was a wild frontier. Cutting my own path across the foliage...I came across something.
A giant anaconda that could swallow a man whole!
This part of the story seems less grand than the part about conquering the seas...
But that was just the beginning... Defeating him opened a gate...
A gate? To what?
A gate to the Underground Empire! He was the watchman!
The...Underground Empire?
Yeah! There was a whole civilization in a giant underground cave! I invaded their empire and made the emperor my sidekick, but... But the time limit came so fast and I had to go back to my gramps' house.
The time limit?
Well yeah. My summer vacation was over, duh.
...You had a pretty long summer vacation, didn't you? And anyway, I still don't know why you decided to become an astronaut.
Huh? Why I wanna be an astronaut? Was that what we were talking about?
Yes! That's what we were talking about!
That's simple! The universe is the final frontier for me to conquer! And it's sorta cool, isn't it? Aren't astronauts the best!?
... So essentially, "because it's cool" was your reason...
Kaito looked quite pleased with his story, and I returned to my room.

Man, when can we get outta this place? I'm missing so much training...
Yeah...that's true.
But since we're here, aren't you glad you met me?
Glad I met you?
Well...I guess Kaito has saved me before...
It's nothing to be embarrassed about! Just be proud that you're my sidekick!
...A sidekick.
I've got quite the record. I could even be called the Ultimate Hero!
Your "record"? What do you mean?
Heh, to tell the truth...I've had a number of sidekicks in the past. I'm only an astronaut trainee, but in other fields, my name is legend!
Ah, really...?
Yup! For example... That star rookie in the major league? He used to be my sidekick!
What!?
That engineer who won a Nobel Prize? He also used to be my sidekick. I even showed our current prime minister the ropes of politics. Oh yeah! And that pop sensation? I taught her to sing and dance!
Ah, I-I see... I don't know about this... Some of those people are older than Kaito.
That said...I only nudged them in the right direction.
Don't doubt yourself! You just gotta follow the path you believe in! If you're lost, I'll believe in you! If you get scared, I'll help you!
Yeah... With just a nudge, a person can change. They can break outta their shell. And it's a real man that gives them the encouragement they need!
That's true. Even if it's just one person...anyone would be encouraged by that.
But that one person has to be special. It has to be someone like Kaito...
If you wanna talk about something, don't hesitate! We'll talk it out! Your worry is my worry! My worry is your worry! And there's nothing wrong with that!
Ah, yeah...thank you. Kaito is always so honest and approachable. He's willing to help you with anything. ...Only someone like Kaito could help me. Only someone like him could tell me what I need to hear.
...Ah, n-never mind. I shouldn't be talking about another boy like that...

Hey, you got a minute? I got something to talk about.
Ah, okay...
He seems upset... Did I do something to make him angry?
I'm just gonna say it! What are you moping around for!?
What?
When my sidekick is moping, it really ticks me off!
I'm...moping?
I told you, man! Don't hesitate to talk to me if something's wrong. But you're still keeping stuff from me! Am I not reliable enough!? Spit it out! If you bottle everything up, it can't get fixed!
I'm sorry, I don't know what you're talking about. I'm not looking for advice...
You've got some guts trying to lie to me.
...
Fine then! Listen up...
Kaito encouraged me, complimenting me about my talent. I should tell him... Then he'd understand why. I told him all about the case that got me the title ofUltimate Detective. I told him everything...so that he would know how untalented I really am.
I see... So you were chosen after you solved a case.
Yes, and the most important part... I just happened to find some evidence that was missed. I accidentally solved the puzzle. It was all coincidence, happenstance... And I foiled the culprit's plan for vengeance. I didn't understand the situation, I didn't know any better. That man...hates me.
Geez... You worry about the most trivial stuff, man.
...Trivial?
What do you mean, trivial?
What do you mean, trivial?
The culprit's feelings. Why are you even worrying about them?
What...?
The culprit was trying to get away with it by using a trick, right?
Well, being a detective is a trivial job...
You're right. Being a detective is a trivial job... You dig up dirty secrets for money. That's the whole job.
Huh? What are you talking about? Where's your pride in your work?
Your job isn't trivial! It's great! I'm talking about the culprit! The culprit was trying to get away with it by using a trick, right?
You have no right to say that!
You have no right to say that! You don't know what I've been through!
Hah! Nice! It's good to see you actually have some bite in you. You're right, I don't know. After all, I'm not you. And that's why I can say this to you! The culprit was trying to get away with it by using a trick, right? He killed someone and was trying to get away with it! He's a bad guy! If he'd gotten away with it, he'd be crushed by the weight of his guilt. But you got him before that happened! He should be thanking you!
...
Don't worry, even if that idiot holds a grudge against you...
I'll support you all the way! I know you did the right thing! And not just with that guy! From now on, if anyone holds a grudge against you...I'll kick their ass!
So you just gotta follow the path you believe in!
You're my sidekick. So don't hold back and rely on me whenever you need to!
Kaito...thank you. Alright, so he's foolhardy. But he supports me and expects nothing in return... He does so much for me... I could never turn my back on that. I will never betray his support and trust. I will never break my bond with Kaito!
...I understand, Kaito. I will always depend on you.
Yeah! Just leave it to me!
Kaito's smile was as bright as starlight. I couldn't help but smile back. ...Everything is going to be okay. As long as we have this, we can move forward. Sometimes I feel as though I'm dragging him down, but I know I'll catch up one day. I bet he'd laugh and tell me I have a lot of nerve for a sidekick.
