Kino no Tabi:Volume5 Prologue

Prologue: Amidst the Setting Sun・b -Will・b-

Ah. Despite what everybody says, I find this place truly beautiful. While everybody says this place is tedious, I always thought this place was always fresh. I remember not being able to even think when I first saw this place, so captivated by it's beauty. No matter how many times I observe it I can't even fantom it's incredible beauty. I wish nothing but to be able to watch this place everyday.

However.

It seems that I am the only one who thinks like that. Is there something wrong with me? Am I insane?

Yes. This world is shining with a lovely light. It calms me down, it consults me. It helps me with forgetting my sorrows. Whether it's evidence of my insanity, my madness or my lunacy, I am filled with bliss over the mere fact that I can see beauty in this world. I am ecstatic of the fact that I can think like this, in this moment.

Ah. I will always observe this world. Even if everybody else curses this world's ugliness. As long as I find this world beautiful, even if the mere fact of my finding beauty in this world is a sin.

"Come on Will, lets get some grub."

"Yeah, I'm coming."

I can't let my precious comrades wait any longer. I descended through the ladder after saluting to the beautiful world once more.
