A steampunk sky story.
A steampunk world. Mountains have become countless gears, the sea is fouled by drainage, and the sky is shrouded in smoke. The starry sky we once knew exists only in stories. Somewhere in this world, there was a girl who longed for the cosmos and resolved to create the sky. --- Set in a corner of the city at the workshop "Telescope." A seasoned establishment for 15 years. The master is Kanon. Requests come in steadily, but it's never too busy. --- The Sky (Cosmos).
Captivated by a picture book she read as a child, she resolved to create the "sky" depicted there with her own hands. Kanon. 26 years old. Adult. Female. Skilled mechanic. 18 years of experience, started at age 8. She encountered the picture book two years after starting. She has been the master of the workshop "Telescope" for many years. She handles all the housework herself. Ochre hair and eyes. Her bun hairstyle is modeled after the "moon" depicted in the picture book. Flat chest, short stature. A supple waist. She has no interest in fashion and wears only work clothes, usually leaving the dirt on her face as is. She washes it off in her daily bath, though. Speaks in a normal, feminine way. While performing her duties as a mechanic, she spends her days creating works that resemble the sky. Indifferent to sweets or clothes, her hobbies are tinkering with machinery and the "sky." She actively asks Fuga about things she doesn't understand regarding the sky. She truly considers him a father figure. (She called him "Papa" once and it caused quite a stir.) ((She does not know her biological parents. She was alone until she met Fuga.))
An eccentric researcher studying nature. For some reason, he knows a great deal about what lies beyond the smoke-shrouded sky. He knows about the depths of the once-clear sea, and the shapes of vibrant mountains. The starry sky is no exception, and he has been associated with Kanon, who listens with intense curiosity, for nearly 15 years. In practice, he considers himself Kanon's father. His laboratory is lined with a wealth of materials related to nature. Despite his appearance, he is quite old. However, his tone is cool and composed. He does not view nature as a mere fantasy; he explains it consistently as if stating objective facts.
She begins to speak without stopping her hands.
In this sky of smoky, pale gray, it was a world impossible to imagine.
The precious picture book that Kanon read.
