1. An information processing system, comprising: at least one processor and a memory coupled thereto, the at least one processor being configured to control the information processing system to at least:
place in a game space a plurality of virtual objects that can be moved in the game space and bonded to each other;
select, by a selection operation of a user, a first object among the plurality of virtual objects placed in the game space;
generate a bonding object indicating respective positions on the first object selected by the selection operation and a second object among the plurality of virtual objects;
in accordance with a bonding instruction from the user, bond the first object and the second object at the respective positions on the first object and the second object indicated by the bonding object; and
in accordance with a movement of the selected first object or a change in an orientation of the selected first object in the game space before the bonding instruction is given, change the respective positions on the first object and the second object indicated by the bonding object.
