Introduction · · · · · ·
The story tells the "legendary life" of Videl from the perspective of "I". At the beginning, Videl, who was in the same literary club as me, gave people the impression that he was smart, decent, outstanding in appearance, self-taught, and kept a distance from others.

Because I was in prison, I witnessed Videl's first performance of writing poems in the air, and then I began to tell the story of Videl and the people around him, their experiences, searches, and their respective endings. In the end, I was the only one who saw and recognized Videl again, but it was just a bounty operation.
