Story

Summer had come to that town.

A young man manipulates a puppet.
Around him are only two children.
The young man's tricks were too boring to attract the interest of the audience.
The children lost interest and ran away.

The young man is a traveler.
He has two companions.
An old doll that walks away without his touch.
A distant promise to the one who has the "power.

A girl talks to him.
She is friendly and smiles innocently.

His encounter with her marks the beginning of his life in this land.

The days flow peacefully, surrounded by a summer scene.
Encounters with girls are repeated in the sunlight.

Summer continues forever.
Under the blue sky.
Under the atmosphere where she waits.
