Kino no Tabi:Volume8 Frontispiece1
“A Land with a Road” — Go West! —
“Isn’t it such a great road, Kino?”
“Yeah…”
“I say road, but it’s actually more of a highway. It’s my first time running through a road with such a clean surface, solid pavement, consistent width, gentle curves, and nice sceneries on both sides.”
“Me too…”
“Cheers to this country’s citizens for making something like this!”
“Sure… But you can’t drink, Hermes.”
“It’s just a matter of passion! Honestly, I really feel like praising them when I meet them in person.”
“Yeah… That would be nice, if only it were possible…”
“Why?”
“Who knows? I have no idea at all…how it’s possible for every single person in a country to die. Because there’s nobody here, there’s no one we could ask…”
“Well, yeah. —Even so…”
“Even so?”
“I can’t see the end of this road. At this rate, we’re just going to slam into something. They should have at least made it so that the western wall could be seen.”
“Indeed… We’ve been running nonstop since the day before yesterday…”
“If you don’t arrive at the gates by the end of the day, you’ll be violating your three-day rule.”
“That’s why I’m doing my best here…”
“Isn’t it such a great road, Kino?”
“Yeah…”
