FLY "Angel Departing for the Galactic Castle" Illustration and Poem by Kyoko
Flap, flap, flap...
Ginga's father said, "Where are you going, little winged angel?"
"I'm going to a castle in a galaxy far, far away."
Galaxy's father said, "Then how about I show you around?
I'm a galactic expert."
"I want an adventure. I won't follow you."
Galaxy's Dad said.
「Hmmm. That is very true.
Please continue your enjoyable journey."
Flap, flap, flap...
"Oh? Is this a river? Is this a rainbow? Italy?
A sea of pasta?
Flap, flap, flap...
Hello little bird!!
"There's a little sun on the other side of the river of pasta!
I've come a long way!"
Flap, flap, flap...
Flapping, flapping.
"Ah! It's so blue...where am I?
Ahh!! It's hitting the red hot sun and burning up!
Galaxy Dad, help me!!"
And the angel girl fainted.
When I woke up,
It's Ginga's father's castle.
The angel girl had transformed into a princess.
Galaxy's Dad said.
"Welcome home, Angel.
This is the castle of the galaxy.
Did you enjoy your adventure, brave angel?"
"I wanted an adventure. I wanted to find it for myself."
Galaxy's Dad said.
"If you ask me for help, I'll help you.
That is the law of the universe."
"It's frustrating, but... thank you, Space Dad."
Angel girl eating hot soup and bread
I slept in a fluffy bed.
In a deep, happy sleep
The angel girl continued to dream of a new life.
