He is thirty, from Tokyo's Gotanda district, and without work; he lives off Kanako, who staffs a supermarket checkout in Tsurukawa at the city's far edge. His days go into a video game, grinding his hero to ever higher levels, and into dreaming up a sequel to a story called 'Datenshi no toiki'. What nags at him is whether he should play along and finish off the Demon King. Beneath the idleness his feelings are close to bursting.
