The Journey of the Plane / The Journey of the Plane: Looking for Lily

And Hermes' voice sounded like a child's, and his IQ was actually similar to that of a child's. He didn't hear Kino's perfunctory at all, but even pushed his nose in the face.

"But I'm not talking about you! Recently, Chino, have you been paying less and more attention to me? Even though I'm a motorcycle, I will also get injured! If I start running by then, it will be very troublesome! You guys The salutes are all dependent on me, as the saying goes, cycling is irregular, and relatives cry..." Hermis obviously has the nature of talking, just like a child who keeps talking to win the attention of parents, but Chino does not know He wasn't listening at all, his left ear went in and his right ear went out, this distraction was so obvious that even Hermes noticed it.

"Hey! Chino, are you listening!"

"I'm going on strike!"

"Too noisy"

"It's just a motorcycle"

As a rider, Kino was unmoved as if he was used to Hermis' chatter and attack, but Moli obviously couldn't bear to have to suffer such noise under the roar of the engine, while raising the notepad in his hand to warn Hermes kicked Hermes' fuselage heavily with his heel.

"stop!"

"Oh, no, no, no—stop!"

"Mo Li, you are a devil!"

I was kicked hard for no reason (?), although I didn't feel any pain as a motorcycle, but the "bang" sound after the heel came into contact with the fuselage was really crisp!Hearing that Hermes was terrified, he was afraid that some important parts of Moli's body would be broken if he kicked down like this—it's a pity that Hermes's wails did not win any sympathy, and the young rider not only did not stop Moli Li's atrocities, and even chuckled as if watching a play, and his hands shook suddenly, making Hermes' fuselage tremble crazily on the road again, imperceptibly stimulating Hermes' fragile nerves even more.

"Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah--"

"Really! Kino is not allowed to laugh anymore! Give me a good ride!"

……

In the midst of "joyful sounds and laughter", the city finally appeared in front of my eyes. Mo Li silently looked at the magnificent city wall in the distance, and couldn't help expressing emotion in her heart like Grandma Liu entering the Grand View Garden. It can be called a "country" even if it is of a large scale, right?

High walls.

There are also moats and drawbridges to control people's access.

It is indeed a mature country...

Moli, the passenger, was of course the first to get off Mr. Motorbike Hermes. She jumped off and stood aside to continue observing.

And Kino seemed to be distracted by the small building in front of the suspension bridge all the time, so when he got off Hermes, he didn't even notice that he hadn't put down the bracket of the motorcycle. As soon as his hands were off the handle, Hermes would of course It fell to the left in this way, and then hit the ground heavily.

"Ahhh-"

"What the hell are you doing! Chino! Do you want to just leave me like this? Hey! Get me up quickly!"

Mr. Motorcycle is really a noisier guy than Cicada, as if he has a louder voice than anyone else. He has never seen him speak softly. Anyway, Mo Li, who has excellent hearing, must not be able to bear this kind of torture. Go up and kick Hermes' fuselage three times!

Well.

Maybe it's because she thinks that the motorcycle is so hard that she won't break it?

Anyway, Mo Li didn't show mercy at all.

"Demon—why are you kicking me again!"

Of course, the interaction between Hermis and Moli here was clearly heard by Kino, and she also knew that it would be inhumane to let a motorcycle fall to the ground... Oh, no way, but she couldn't help it. He was almost so hungry that his chest was pressed against his back, and his voice was as low as that of a mosquito.

"Ah...you're so hungry that you can't use your strength at all, you can just put it here and bask in the sun for a while..."

"I want to stand and bask in the sun!"

Hermis, who fell on the ground like a salted fish, yelled angrily, and even started to give a comprehensive lesson by using the reason that Kino was hungry and weak: "So whose fault is it that you are hungry and weak now! Not yourself! I asked you to have lunch before!" The more you learn, the more proud you will be. If Hermes is a real little boy, he will be so proud that his nose will fly into the sky by now, "Listen, Kino , I told you a long time ago that motorcycle driving is a sport in itself!"

"Even if it's not like riding a bicycle, driving alone consumes a lot of energy! It won't take long for you to lose your strength unconsciously, and your head will become inflexible!"

"In this way, unexpected situations that can be reacted normally will not be able to react!"

"Accidents can easily happen!"

Qi Nuo and Mo Li exchanged a look very tacitly, knowing that once this motorcycle gentleman talked about the knowledge and theory of driving a motorcycle, he would be like the water of the Yellow River, so the two sides unanimously left the chattering Hermes alone. , and directly stepped into the building that Chino had been paying attention to from just now.

"Hey! Kino, are you listening?"

"Don't leave me behind!"

Volume [-] Kino's Journey: The Second Country, A Country That Understands Human Pain ([-])

The building that Moli and Kino stepped into together looks more cylindrical.

The roof is conical, and the area is not large, so it is obviously not suitable for people to live in. The signboard says "Immigration Inspection Office", which proves that this big city is really a country.

"Looks like I finally have a hot lunch to eat..."

While talking to himself, Kino stretched out his hand and gently pushed open the door of the building.

Mo Li followed closely behind.

But because of hearing Kino's murmur, he was even more convinced in his heart that Kino was indeed a foodie!

"excuse me."

He habitually sends out a greeting after entering the door, but looking at the situation, Chino seems to be talking in vain. After all, after entering, he can only see an empty room, and he cannot see any human beings in it, nor can he see humans staying here. Traces of the past—some simple things are more or less decorated on the walls, and then there is a strange machine like a vending machine in the center of the building, and this machine is in the next moment when Chino walks in. It starts up by itself directly, and the indicator light representing whether the power is turned on or not lights up bright green, and at the same time, there is a subtle sound of the host running.

Chino was obviously very curious about machines.

Probably thinking about how it senses the approach of humans and activates itself in a timely manner?

On the other hand, Mo Li didn't care about the machine at all, but was more interested in the decorations on the wall, staring at them without blinking.

Anyway-

The appearance of this strange machine that shakes directly when the power is turned on seems to be biased towards steampunk. First, it made a rather rigid sound to welcome the travelers according to the script, and then simply asked Kino about a few travelers. Before entering the country, you must investigate clearly.

The machine is very efficient.

However, it also benefited from the fact that Chino, who has traveled to many countries, is very proficient in similar procedures, so the two naturally have a tacit understanding when they ask and answer.

Soon after, the machine readily issued the entry permit to Chino.

The next moment, there was a loud noise outside, and Hermis, who had finally stopped for a while, also started to yell in surprise, which made Kino come out with Moli helplessly, as expected Seeing that the suspension bridge has been erected on the moat, the previous noise must have been caused by the lowering of the suspension bridge... and the poor Mr. Motorcycle finally waited until Kino and Mo Li came out of the building one after the other, and at the moment Ignoring the question of dignity and indignity, I begged pitifully: "Please! Lift me up from the ground!"

Anyway, motorcycles have no dignity at all.

Hermis had obviously had enough of the dust on the ground, and with his bitter tone of grievance coupled with the voice of a boy who was too young, it was obvious that he was a little boy who was being bullied.

It's okay.

They are not demons, how could they leave Hermis here?

It doesn't matter if Hermes is lost.

It would be a big problem if the salute that Hermes was carrying was stolen.

With a calm face, Kino didn't speak, but stepped forward and put his hands in front of Hermes' handle, and Mo Li also consciously ran to the other side to help, and the two of them had a silent meal. With cooperation, it took a lot of effort to finally get this overweight motorcycle gentleman up.

Mo Li was exhausted enough.

Blaming all his hard work on Hermes for not being able to stand up by himself, he kicked Hermes' rear wheel angrily.

"When will you learn to stand up by yourself"

"?"

Hermes said that this is difficult for the strong!

"If I could stand up by myself, I would have run away long ago! Whoever wants to stay with a demon like you who is always kicking a car with his feet will drive you on a trip!"

Of course, Kino knew that Mo Li and Hermis would quarrel again if he let it go on like this, so he stepped forward to act as a peacemaker, smiled lightly, and interrupted directly: "Okay, okay, don't quarrel, we Let’s go to the city quickly, this place feels a bit strange for some reason..." Kino seemed to be concerned about what happened just now while he slapped the dust off Hermis' body as he spoke, and whispered softly as if talking to himself, " There is no one in the room, only a strange machine... Forget it, it is impossible to see no one after entering the city, right?"

Young travelers obviously don't know what a flag is.

When she drove Hermes into the city through the somewhat crumbling suspension bridge, it was really like the "impossible" just said, and there was no one in sight.

Ok.

Let alone people, there is not even a single figure, okay?

Only a robot with an even weirder appearance wobbled over to welcome the travelers, and greeted travelers as usual to Chino who subconsciously stopped the motorcycle, and then directly spit out a piece of colored paper from its long and flat mouth, which read There are four characters of "Travel Guide" on it, and a map of the entire city is facing the back.

Before Kino asked the robot why there was no one here, the robot staggered away as if it had finished its program.

--never mind.

—Anyway, let’s have lunch first.

The young rider has had enough of his hungry stomach.

Driving along the road, Mo Li looked at the surrounding buildings without any traces like Chino, and wanted to find traces of human beings, but it was a pity that he had been driving here for nearly 10 minutes, whether it was Mo Li or Qi Nuo. Nuodu found nothing, as if the residents were hiding in the house and sleeping soundly... Closer to home, apart from being like a ghost town, this city is actually very beautiful, the houses are arranged in an orderly manner, which side is a residential area and which side is The commercial street is completely clear at a glance, and the roads are well repaired. Even Hermis couldn't help shouting happily while galloping on the road that he hasn't run such a refreshing road for a long time!

no way.

After all, how could there be a hard and flat road in the wild for it to run?

It's pretty good to have a decent dirt road.

Not long after, Chino parked his motorcycle in front of a restaurant, and the time happened to be noon when the sun was shining brightly, but he walked in and saw that there was still no one inside—for some reason, the store was spotless, although there were no employees, but the cleanliness The degree is full marks.

Maybe it's the robots again?

Mo Li was already familiar with the strangeness, so she was not surprised to see a robot approaching the next moment, but instead looked at how it was different from the previous robots.

The previous robot is obviously not as advanced as this one. After all, the robot that wobbles when it moves has no head, and only knows how to say a welcome speech and spit out a travel guide to outsiders according to the program. Too smart Yazi.

But this robot is different.

The head on the head is a large computer similar to a cash register, and it speaks very smoothly, with a feeling of artificial intelligence.

Of course, Mo Li, who cannot speak, cannot take on the important task of ordering food, but she will not let Kino decide all the menus domineeringly by himself. When Kino is negotiating with the robot, she will not let go and use her fingers crazy Poking at some of his favorite dishes on the menu, he had the attitude of "if you don't order, I'll beat you"—and Kino is actually not a person who likes to be arbitrary at all, even if Mo Li is not so exaggerated at this time While exuding coercion, she frantically poked at the menu, and she would also take the initiative to ask Mo Li what she would like to eat when ordering.

Anyway...

A very happy meal.

Moli is different from her childish appearance, she can eat very much, if it is not for the limited travel expenses to Kino, she probably will order more dishes.

In order to continue the trip for a longer period of time, of course she must properly control her food intake.

By the way, although Chino and Moli are not considered picky gourmets, they can still feel that the cooking skills of this restaurant are really good. The taste of each dish is amazing, almost making Chino and Moli Li scrambled to eat directly on the dining table in a very inconspicuous manner... After eating, the robot with the brain of the cash register came over in a timely manner, and collected the money for Chino in a proper manner, and then there was another one who didn't A robot with a basket-like head came over and stretched out several mechanical arms to put the tableware on the table into the basket.

Kino thought these robots were amazing, but what was even more amazing was the price of meals.

Too cheap!

It was so cheap that she couldn't help but feel that she might have eaten a fake meal!

Mo Li was also very surprised when she found out, and silently regretted why she didn't order a few more dishes. After all, restaurants with such cheap prices are really rare, okay?However, Kino would stay in a new city for three days, so there were still many opportunities to eat, and she wouldn't regret it so much that she would take Kino to have another meal right away.

And Mr. Motorcycle, who was unable to enter the store, had naturally been waiting outside for a long time.

Seeing the two people who had already eaten come out, they couldn't help but start talking in a yin-yang tone: "Ah~ that's great~ human beings can eat so many delicious things~"

"Then I'll go back and stuff the leftovers into your gas tank."

Of course it's fake.

How could there be leftovers when there is Moli?

But of course Hermis doesn't know that Mo Li's appetite is terrible, and he doesn't know that Mo Li is just joking, after all, Mo Li's usual brutal image has been deeply rooted in his heart!Thinking that Moli might really want to stuff leftovers into his fuel tank if he disagreed with him, Hermis' expression changed drastically (← although as a motorcycle, it doesn't look like much), he didn't dare to put on the skin anymore, He was very spineless and gave up directly: "Ah! I'm so sorry! Please don't do this! I don't actually need to eat! Just remember to refuel my gas tank!"

Kino really convinced Hermes' sense of humor.

He tapped its fuselage lightly, and said with a smile, "Okay, okay, when you leave on the third day, make sure to fill up the fuel tank for you, okay?"

……

Find a hotel that looks good before nightfall.

I went in and saw that there was no one there, only some strange looking robots.

The foreman's robot opened a very luxurious room for Kino, and as a traveler, Kino is a poor person wandering outside, so he has never seen such a luxurious room before, so he couldn't help asking the receptionist over and over again. Are your own robots sure that they can really live in this kind of room?Is the grade wrong?He even couldn't hold back his calm face, directly expressing that he is not a rich person, even if he wants to blackmail money, it is useless. Mo Li, who can't help but cover his face, can't express it in words, and dare not look directly at showing such a side Chino.

And Hermes is really skinny.

Unlike Mo Li who chooses to pretend to be deaf and dumb at this moment with understanding, as if he can't see anything, it directly muttered "poverty disease" very stinkingly.

——What nonsense are you talking about?

Mo Li directly kicked Hermes' rear wheel hard.

Are you really not afraid of being dismantled by Kino and rebuilt?

But it turns out that, strangely, this is a country where food is fake and accommodation is ridiculously cheap.

It’s weird.

After confirming that he could fully afford the accommodation fee of this luxurious room, Kino felt at ease, and walked into the bathroom with Mo Li to take a bath one after the other, while Hermis, who was abandoned by them outside, did not learn his lesson at all. Once again began to speak in a strange tone.

"Ah~ human beings are so good~ they can take a hot bath comfortably~"
