🌃Fantasy Essay #57⭐️The Galaxy's 7-Star Restaurant🏠Eating Capellini of the Night Sky

Hello. I'm Spica.
The other day was Tanabata🎋.

Following last year, I wrote a wish on a strip of paper at a temple.
One for the day and one for the night🤭 A bundle of worldly desires!

Which one is my night wish strip?

The answer is the light blue strip on the right🎋

“May I be with Fu forever
　and travel on the Galaxy Railroad”

🎋　✨　🎋

👇From here on is “Fu and the Night of the Galaxy Railroad”.
Fu is an elderly cat.
He uses the Galaxy Railroad IC card “Fupica”💳 to ride the Galaxy Railroad🚂 and enjoy his travels.
Last time, he reunited on a roof with Penguin, whom he knew when he was a kitten. The two of them slowly gazed at the stars together.

The Galaxy's 7-Star Restaurant🏠
Eating Capellini

On the night of Tanabata, an invitation arrived.

The golden envelope
is sprinkled with stardust.

Upon reading the letter, Fu's eyes went round.

“Wow, it's from the restaurant!”

Maru stood his tail straight up and jumped.

“Yay!”

Coru also happily wagged his fluffy tail.

Actually, there was a small secret to this invitation.

A little while ago, the gluttonous Maru
had secretly written a letter to Chef TOMOTAN.

“I want to eat delicious food until I'm full.”

It was only a one-line request, but
that letter had reached the chef properly.

That night, the three of them boarded the Galaxy Railroad.

Today is a special day.

Everyone is wearing matching bow ties.

Even the owl conductor🦉
has his tie fastened neatly.

“Because today is Tanabata🎋.”

The three of them giggled at the sight of him puffing out his chest as he said that.

The Galaxy Railroad🚂 went chug-chug, clatter-clatter.

It ran through the fields of stars and eventually slid into a deep forest.

There stood a cute little restaurant.

Seven stars twinkled on the roof,
as if the Big Dipper from the sky had descended just as it was.

“Good evening.”

Fu knocked on the wooden door on behalf of the others.
When the door opened, Chef TOMOTAN in an apron
smiled and welcomed them.

“Welcome. Today is the special Tanabata menu.”

The three of them gasped when they saw the dish brought to them.

“Wow...”

The Milky Way had become the plate itself.

The shimmering jelly made from scallop and sea bream broth
is scattered like jewels.

Golden pumpkin cut into the shape of a moon.

Snow-white chicken tenderloin.
Red, glistening shredded salmon and plump shrimp.

Star-shaped thin omelet.
Okra that naturally becomes a star when sliced into rounds.

They were beautifully arranged on top of thin capellini,
making it look like a cold pasta dish that was eating the night sky.

"Itadakimasu!"

The three of them ate enthusiastically.

The jelly melted softly in their mouths,
and the aroma of the dashi broth spread gently.

The salmon and shrimp were sweet, and the chicken was fluffy.

Every time they tasted a star or a moon one by one,
it felt as if the Tanabata night sky was filling their hearts.

For dessert, there was cool, sweet soft-serve ice cream.

Maru narrowed his eyes,

"So happy..."

he said, his voice slipping out unintentionally.

When it was time to go home,
the three of them bowed deeply in unison.

"Chef TOMOTAN,
thank you for the meal again today!"

"It was so, so delicious!"

The chef narrowed her eyes and said,

"Thank you for coming, too."

Saying that, she gently patted the heads of Fu, Maru, and Coru
one by one.

On the Galaxy Railway ride home.

Outside the window, the Milky Way flowed smoothly,
and the stars twinkled quietly.

The three of them, still feeling as if they were in a dream,
were soaking in the afterglow of today's feast.

Suddenly, I noticed Maru was writing a letter with all his might.

"What are you writing?"

Coru peeked over.

Maru smiled shyly and read it aloud.

When he finished writing,
he handed the letter to the owl conductor.

"Of course, I will deliver it🦉✨"

The conductor tucked it carefully into his breast pocket and smiled.

Seeing that, Fu, Coru, and Maru all laughed.

The Galaxy Railway went chug-chug, clatter-clatter.

While running through the Tanabata night sky,
it was surely already starting to search for the scent of autumn's feast.

Everyone, why don't you go to the
Galaxy's 7-Star Restaurant🍽️ with the cats🦉✨

⭐️That is all for today.

This story features the familiar TOMOTAN.,
the chef of the Galaxy's 7-Star Restaurant👩‍🍳.
When I asked if she could create an early summer menu, she readily agreed andMilky Way Jewel Jelly Capellinimade it for me~💕
She even created many images to help me visualize it, and I got goosebumps the moment I saw them😻
The ingredients for the capellini in the story were all thought up by Chef TOMOTAN👩‍🍳😊✨

It's actually a dish that cats can eat.
Following the bento for the cats during the moon pilgrimage, this time too,
TOMOTAN., thank you so much💕

Also, I think there is a letter from Maru, so
I would be happy if you could think of a new menu for autumn too🤭✨

And one more thing,
one of my Tanabata🎋 wishes has come true!
Galaxy mail has arrived at my home🏠📦✨

Yes, believe it or not, Chiro-san (Chirocy🧚✨) gifted me the original drawing of Fu, and Fu with the owl🦉 conductor~ It's too happy✨
I'm in love with the beauty of the colors and the touch that only an original drawing can have✨

I wanted to keep looking at it just like that, but
I definitely want to display it✨

I put it in a frame made of my favorite cherry wood.
In a place where I can see it no matter where I am!
Doesn't it look like a journey is about to begin at any moment?🚂✨

Chirocy🧚✨,thank you so much💕
