*I will participate with a short story. Thank you very much. <(_ _)>～～✨
*The Sleepless Dragon
《 The Fisherman Who Fishes for Stars 》 existed.
He fished for stars that had reached the end of their lives by the fate of space-time,
calling the [black hole] used for collection a creel (fish basket),
and while sometimes driven by the desire to fish for a living 《 star 》,
he would shake off such unforgivable delusions...
spending his days devoted to his work as an ordinary star fisherman.
Then, at the fingertips of that star fisherman , at one point...
there was a living sensation transmitted from the fishing rod☆
Along with a fresh sensation, while suspicious... as the star fisherman reeled in the line...
to his surprise, the catch was not a star, but a 《 dragon 》?!
「...Just when I thought I could finally sleep...
Are you the one who fished me up?
To fish for a 《 Dragon God 》 when you are just a 《 Star Fisherman 》...
You have some nerve!!」
The star fisherman was driven by the fear of being swallowed whole by the Dragon God?!!
「...Th-this, I am very sorry! I apologize!!」
「...However, being called here must be some kind of fate.
Do you happen to know? The whereabouts of the 《 Girl Who Names the Wind 》?」
「...
Th-then, just now, nearby... A wind named 《 Futa
》 by that girl has come! P-...Please ask him!!💦」

Aiming for the star pointed out by the wind 《 Futa 》,the Dragon God departed.
The star fisherman, who had felt his life was in danger, escaped the crisis with the help of the wind Futa...
and breathed a sigh of relief.
Where the Dragon God headed, there was 《 The Girl Who Names the Wind 》, and it is said that the girl sings
《
A Lullaby for a Sleepless Dragon ♬ 》, which invites even the wildest dragon into a pleasant sleep.
☆☆☆☆☆ ☆☆☆☆☆
The star fisherman, having accidentally caught the Dragon God, saw it meet the girl, and with the lullaby ♬ the girl sang... he decided that the
star where the Dragon God had likely fallen asleep... was...
a 《 Dragon God Star 》 that must never be fished up.
The various winds named by the girl remain untouched by the star fisherman's hook, and even now, they fly through layers of the universe in search of stars that suit them...
The star fisherman also returned to his uneventful daily life of fishing for stars.
May there be fortune in this magnificent fishing ground☆☆☆
