Yeji is a desert country that once made a name for itself as a country of airplane riding. But the last war exhausted the country, leaving all valuable planes under military control. The mechanic boy Touji dreamed of becoming a pilot, following the footsteps of his father, who died in the war. However, Touji, who has no connection, has a dream of a pilot. But one night, after picking up the language-speaking cat Ivanov, Toji's fate changes. An overtly suspicious letter from border guard captain Machey, who says he will be trained as a pilot, and an encounter with the beautiful girl Stella who carried the letter. The door to the adventure over the illusory new machine "Aurora" has just opened.
