## Summary

Tetsuro and Maetel arrive on Snowinca, a planet with a legend of a snow woman whose appearance is said to kill anyone who sees her. As soon as he gets off the train, Maetel guides Tetsuro to a ramen shop. The shop is run by Tsuru, who has inherited the will of his predecessor, who was said to be a master of his craft. Late at night, Tetsuro visits the store again and hears Tsuru's confession that he had feelings for Yuki, the daughter of his predecessor, but could not stop her from giving up the ramen shop because she longed to for a mechanical body. Then, the legendary snow woman appears, wanting a hot bowl of ramen.
While searching for Tetsuro, Maetel meets a small man named Snowlock, a mechanical body broker. At the same time, Tetsuro was told by the snow woman that the rumor "If you see her, you will die" was a hoax spread by Snowlock. She tries to give him a free mechanical body and take his living body for the sake of warm ramen noodles. Tetsuro tries to dissuade her by making warm, hearty ramen that even she can eat...

Tetsuro doesn’t see anybody on the planet, but hears voices of children. Maetel tells him that if he heads south through a flower field, he will meet a hermit. She says that he can ask him anything.

Tetsuro stumbles upon him, and the man says that people call him the great hermit, but the only teacher Tetsuro needs is himself! The hermit knows Tetsuro, the boy who defeated the machine empire. Tetsuro still hears the voices, and the hermit tells him to clear his mind for 30 seconds.

A girl appears in front of Tetsuro, calling him “big brother”. She says she’s heard Tetsuro’s voice, along with her fathers. If she had been born, she would have come along him on his journey. The girl fades away, and the hermit says he watches over these children who die before birth.

Tetsuro returns to the 999, and doesn’t immediately answer Maetel. She says that she knew about his sister, and that his mother had a miscarriage from being overworked.

One fighter jet is still floating out, and they pull him into the 999, with the pilot still alive.
