[Ao-Bura Literature Club] Pointing and Calling | Short-Short

Title: "The Music Box That Moves the Stars"

It is said that the beginning of the world was a single tone.

Luna, an apprentice girl who manages the stars at the Library of Heaven, did her job without fail every morning.

"Northern constellations, position confirmed."
"Meteor path, confirmed."
"Night sky brightness, confirmed."

When she pointed her finger at the sky and performed the pointing and calling, the stars twinkled as if relieved.

The last task of the day was to wind the silver music box.

As the quiet melody began to play, the planets rotated, the seasons turned, and life breathed.

However, one morning.

Luna accidentally overslept and forgot to wind the music box.

The world fell silent.

The wind stopped, and the stars did not move.

"Oh no!"

The moment she hurriedly wound the spring.

The music box rang out with a volume she had never heard before.

BOOM!!

Light burst forth, colors were born, and countless stars scattered all at once.

It was like a new Big Bang.

The world became a little wider, and constellations no one knew were added to the night sky.

The director said with a wry smile,

"There is meaning in failure, too. Sometimes, the universe becomes beautiful with an unplanned tone."

From that day on, Luna continued her pointing and calling every morning just as before.

"Today's universe, confirmed!"

And somewhere in the night sky, the music box would begin to sing gently again today.
