Kino no Tabi:Volume4 Chapter1

“A Land with a Statue” ―Angel?―

Once upon a time, a traveler came to a small country in a valley.

The traveler who came riding a motorrad (Note: A two-wheeled vehicle. Only to note that it cannot fly) was looking around leisurely at the rich and beautiful farmlands and at the old and narrow historical town roads. They stopped in front of a wooden statue in the plaza.

The statue simply had the appearance of a human, and it was holding a long stick in its hand. At its feet, there was a creature which can’t be clearly identified.

The young traveler asked a resident, “What is this?”

The resident answered with a smile.

“This is the statue of an angel which descended from the sky a long time ago to save the country. With his club, he quickly exterminated twenty-two demons that tormented the people, and restored peace in this country. And then he came back to the sky.”

“Angel? Descended from the sky? What’s that?” the motorrad asked.

The resident narrowed his eyes, and answered,

“It’s a fairy tale. It has been handed down in this country up to now――”
