Some day, somewhere,

A traveler had died by the road. Within his bags were several valuable items.

Two travelers had come upon the scene and decided to keep the loot for themselves, but neither of the two would yield the treasure to the other.

As the two men [2] argued, another traveler came upon the scene. The traveler broke up the two men who were on the verge of killing each other and asked them of the situation.

Both men explained the situation to the latecomer and asked,

“Who would you side with?”

“I will remain neutral and not side with either of you,” answered the third traveler.

“Is that so?” “Really?” the two men replied.

Both men pointed their persuaders at the latecomer and pulled the trigger, then happily divided the loot evenly among themselves.

As the two men argued, Shizu, accompanied by Riku, came upon the scene. Shizu broke up the two men who were on the verge of killing each other and asked them of the situation.

Both men explain the situation to Shizu and asked,

“Who would you side with?”

“I will remain neutral and not side with either of you,” answered Shizu.

“Is that so?” “Really?” the two men replied.

Both men pointed their persuaders at the latecomer and pulled the trigger, but the blade from Shizu's sword had deflected the bullets.

Shizu said to the dumbfounded travelers,

“Please divide the valuables evenly among yourselves, or else I will be forced to kill the both of you.”

Two travelers had come upon the scene and decided to keep the loot for themselves, but neither of the two would yield the treasure to the other.

As the two men argued, Kino, who was aboard Hermes, came upon the scene. Kino broke up the two men who were on the verge of killing each other and asked them of the situation.

Both men explained the situation to Kino and asked,

“Who would you side with?”

“I have no interest in your affair, you settle that on your own,” answered Kino. And in a blink of an eye, Kino ran away with Hermes and disappeared from that place.



Some day, somewhere,

A traveler had died by the road. Within his bags were several valuable items.

Two travelers had come upon the scene and decided to keep the loot for themselves, but neither of the two would yield the treasure to the other.

As the two men argued, Master, with her partner, a slightly short but handsome man came upon the scene. She broke up the two men who were on the verge of killing each other and asked them of the situation.

Both men explained the situation to Master and asked,

“Who would you side with?”

“Please hand over the loot and all your valuables to us.”

Then Master and the man both pointed their persuaders at the two travelers.


Notes[edit]

  1. Included in the PS2 Visual Novel, Kino no Tabi II.
  2. Note that in the original, it was not specified that the two travelers were men. But in the visual novel, the voice for the two travelers were undoubtedly male, so I supposed this is acceptable.
