To trace Soul Howl's trail to the Celestial Ruins, Mira must travel by transcontinental railroad. Although the three-story behemoth shocks her at first, she finds herself more and more excited to travel by train. During her journey, Mira watches the scenery speed by, enjoys station lunches, and relaxes in high-class hotels, meeting all sorts of people along the way. As Mira advertises for boutiques and mediates lovers' quarrels, a suspicious black-clad man creeps ever closer…
Mira travels to the next spot in her quest to find Soul Howl. The trip is mostly by train through many different places, encountering all kinds of interesting travellers on her way. Personally I rather like these kind slice-of-life travel journals in a fantasy setting, especially if the the author makes it a fantasy setting with larger then life scenes and travel methods. As far as plot progress, there is a little near the very end, but not much. Things can be a bit slow, and Mira does have an easy time. Still, it is a kind of story I enjoy, light-hearted, but not too over the top in the comedy department.
