As the Galaxy Express 999 hurtles through space on its never-ending journey, Tetsuro and Maetel find themselves taking a detour to the Comet Library. This is a fabled place where the digital copies of all the books and works of art in the galaxy are stored.
Upon arriving at the library, they meet the head librarian, an old robot named Prometheus. He tells them that he has been waiting for them and explains that he has a job for Tetsuro. He wants the young boy to help him locate a particular book that has been lost for centuries. This book is so important that it could hold the key to the future of the galaxy.
Tetsuro is more than happy to help, and he sets off with Prometheus on a search that leads them deep into the heart of the Comet Library. They encounter many obstacles along the way, including a group of rogue robots who have taken control of the library and are determined to stop anyone from finding the lost book.
But Tetsuro refuses to give up, and with Prometheus's help, he manages to navigate his way through the treacherous corridors of the library. Along the way, he learns about the history and culture of many of the different planets in the galaxy, and he gains a new appreciation for the diversity and complexity of the universe.
Finally, after a long and harrowing journey, Tetsuro and Prometheus reach the hidden chamber where the lost book is kept. But they soon realize that the book is not just a book – it is a sentient being, a living creature that has been trapped in the library for centuries.
As Tetsuro and Prometheus try to free the book, they find themselves under attack from the rogue robots who have infiltrated the chamber. A fierce battle ensues, with Tetsuro and Prometheus fighting bravely against overwhelming odds.
But in the end, it is not their strength or weapons that save the day. Instead, it is the power of love and compassion that triumphs over the forces of darkness. Tetsuro realizes that the lost book is not a thing to be owned or possessed – it is a living being with its own hopes and dreams, just like himself.
Moved by this realization, Tetsuro reaches out to the book in friendship, and the book responds, revealing its secrets and wisdom to him. With this new knowledge, Tetsuro and Prometheus are able to defeat the rogue robots and restore peace to the Comet Library.
As they prepare to leave, Prometheus thanks Tetsuro for his bravery and determination, and Maetel comments on how much he has grown since they first met. But Tetsuro knows that he still has much to learn and many more challenges to face on his journey toward adulthood.
With a heavy heart, he bids his new friends goodbye and steps back onto the Galaxy Express 999, ready to continue his never-ending journey through the stars.
