Synopsis

A spaceship is sailing through dark space. On board are Konigiri, a little rice ball, and his friends. He has broken his chair and is looking around for a replacement, but he can’t find one! He looked for it using his repaired radar, but he just couldn’t find the shop outside the spacecraft either. It’s outer space! We just have to make do with what’s in the spaceship. How can we do that? Hey, Konigiri!
