Japanese government negotiator Shindo Kojiro has been absorbed into a giant 2km long cube known as Kado.  Inside, he meets a being called Yaha-kui zaShunina, who seems to possess powers beyond humanity's ability to comprehend.  Who is this being, and what are his plans for humanity?  Shindo agrees to become this creature's representative as it begins its negotiations with the Japanese government.

لا أعلم ما إذا كان وجوده في

 che lui si trovi sul fronte opposto.
Não sei se é bom ou ruim 
ele já estar do outro lado.
