Shiki Granbell is raised from childhood by a community of robots at the Granbell Kingdom, an abandoned theme park. The park is visited by two travelers – Rebecca Bluegarden and her robotic cat, Happy – whom Shiki tries to befriend to little avail. The next day, the park's robots turn hostile towards Shiki and Rebecca, declaring revenge against humans for discarding them.

After Rebecca and Happy take Shiki off the planet on their spaceship, the Aqua Wing, the robots express satisfaction over Shiki's escape before breaking down, having staged their rebellion to save him from being marooned. The three arrive at the planet Blue Garden and register Shiki into the adventurers guild Shooting Starlight, where Shiki recognizes a hologram of a cosmic goddess called Mother. When the guild disbelieves his supposed encounter with Mother, the three decide to find her and prove her existence, traveling to the planet Norma to acquire a more spaceworthy ship from Rebecca and Happy's benefactor, Professor Weisz Steiner.
