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

It was Chino's third day in the country.

It was also the last day before she became an adult.

Before Kino was about to leave, she finally approached her parents and said her heart directly: "I don't want to undergo surgery to become an adult... Is there any other way to become an adult? For example, I can maintain my current self and become an adult..."

But she didn't know.

But it was such a small sentence that directly changed her fate, Kino's fate, and even Miss Doll's fate.

She will never forget that after hearing her words, her mother showed a terrifying expression as if suddenly awakened from a nightmare, and her father also blushed angrily, and yelled at her fiercely: "You, You, you, you, you! You bastard! What the hell are you talking about! Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa up on what you, what did you take the surgery that everyone accepted to become a good adult! You put The grown-ups are being treated as fools! Or are you going to live your whole life like a child after you become an adult! You are so worthless!"

There are more harsh and ugly words than these.

She doesn't want to think about it.

Thinking back now—probably her parents were completely hysterical at that time, right?

After all, for them, the operation of becoming an adult is a sacred and crucial thing, and they don't even joke about it to children.It can be said that all the residents in that country have always thought that the operation they were forced to do by law and policy and could not resist was the most remarkable.

Maybe it's a defense they use to maintain their inner peace.

Although she is not qualified to say that since she has never undergone surgery.

Volume 20 Kino's Journey: No.[-] Country, Country of Adults (End)

"Why did you suddenly say such outrageous words? Who instilled such inhuman thoughts in you?"

Father was very angry.

He looked almost mad with anger.

Then it was probably because the movement that caused the riot here was too eye-catching, and all the adults around gathered around, seeing more and more.

When the father explained to everyone that she didn't want to have an operation, the adults immediately became chattering, nothing more than accusing them from the moral high ground-such as "how can there be such a stupid child", "how do you usually discipline me?" The child's", "Even if it is a child, it is completely unforgivable to say such words" and other harsh words swept over the sky, and the father was busy bowing and apologizing to them, and then glared at her, saying that It was because of what she said that made them lose face so much!

finally--

The father realized that it was very likely that it was Kino who was an outsider who taught her badly, so he directly grabbed her hand very forcefully and searched for Kino everywhere.

At this moment, Chino happened to be standing at the door of the hotel.

Standing next to it was a motorcycle that seemed to have just been bought not long ago. It was polished and shiny, and it was impossible to see that it was still in the garbage dump not long ago.On the back of the motorcycle was Chino's luggage, and in front of the luggage was a lady doll, apparently about to set off.

The menacing father directly frightened Chino who hadn't even got on the motorcycle yet.

Miss Doll also seemed a little puzzled.

The gray glazed eyes kept staring at her, who was being forcibly dragged by her father all the way, without blinking. That kind of gaze that seemed to be able to see through everything made her feel embarrassed.

"what happened?"

Kino gently asked his furious father.

The father became even angrier because of this, and he was probably thinking angrily, "My daughter has been taught badly by you, and you still have the face to ask me what's wrong", right?She could clearly feel that her father was pulling her harder and harder, so that her wrist ached -- but her father didn't notice it, and she didn't know that her wrist was getting more and more painful from his pinching , driven by anger, directly yelled at Kino indiscriminately, his aggressive appearance was almost like a mad dog barking.

Unexpectedly, Chino didn't care at all.

He just smiled lightly, with a gentle and elegant appearance, as if the person being scolded was not himself at all.

However, in private, Kino complained to her quietly: "Is this the result after the operation? I think it's better not to have the operation."

She was caught off guard.

Why would Chino know about the operation?

Knowing that she looked at the puppet lady behind Kino, she suddenly understood. After returning yesterday, the puppet lady must have told Kino about this country and the operation, right?He couldn't help but feel sour again, after all, it seemed that the relationship between Miss Doll and Kino was much closer than her.

While sour and a little helpless.

In fact, she had known for a long time that this might end up like this, so she didn't abruptly ask the puppet lady to stay when she parted with the puppet lady yesterday.

I just hope that when we leave, we can leave a good impression on Miss Doll.

Unexpectedly, this kind of thing happened...

Because Miss Puppet was at the side, her heart that should have been uneasy because of her father's manic expression finally relaxed, and her flustered head also calmed down, and she began to face up to what happened in front of her—of course she was still very scared, but There are Miss Puppet and Kino by her side, she is not alone at this time, is she?Maybe it would be a bit cunning to say it this way, but she still felt that it was great that Miss Puppet was still around - breaking free from her father's hand, she subconsciously approached Miss Puppet, and Miss Puppet also jumped from the motorcycle Come down, if there is nothing to protect her behind.

The father didn't notice that she had left, and he was still pointing at Kino while spitting and yelling at Kino, talking a lot in a mess.

Anyway, he wanted to make Chino, who had spoiled the children, kneel down and apologize to the people of the whole country.

to be frank.

The father's face was flushed and hideous yet funny at the time...

Is this what everyone thinks of as an "excellent adult"?

She suddenly understood what Miss Doll wanted to say to me before. After all, the appearance of her father, the representative of the "excellent adult", was as if she usually fought with her friends over trivial matters, and then because of the fight However, the willful look of crying and starting to play tricks...

Then a person stepped out from the crowd.

A great man of this country.

She couldn't remember what the job of this great man was, she just remembered that he was a great man.

The great man naturally spoke to Chino instead of her father.

The main idea is to advise Kino not to meddle in other people's business. No matter what kind of country or what kind of family, there are special rules of their own, and outsiders should not interfere, let alone get involved—at the beginning, she didn't understand why the great man If you want to say this sincerely, now that you think about it, the great man probably meant something, right?It implies that if Kino keeps meddling in his own business, he will only be able to get away with it, so Kino is very wise not to directly oppose the whole country, but jokingly expresses that the residents here are about to eat people, and he is like this. I will go, if I don't go, I'm afraid I will be slaughtered.

She was a little reluctant.

Subconsciously hugged the puppet lady who had been in front of her and hadn't left. She knew that she shouldn't be willful, but she still couldn't control it.

"Miss Doll..."

She wants to keep Miss Doll.

But how could he suddenly be able to say what he didn't say yesterday?

Miss Puppet patted her hands holding her as if to comfort her, and didn't care about her willful little movements, and then raised the notepad to say goodbye to her—tears suddenly welled up in her eyes, forcing herself to He said it, but the words that had already come to his lips turned into a puppet without a trace, can you stay for a few more days, Miss.

"Feel sorry"

"Kino only stays in one country for three days"

"I'm really leaving"

Her heart sank to the bottom following the words that appeared one after another in the notepad, and the hands that had been holding on to the puppet lady were also gradually loosened weakly.

Miss Puppet really still wants to leave.

She couldn't keep it.

There is no way to keep it.

After all, Miss Doll's wish is to find something, and of course she has to go to various places in order to find it, so isn't it a matter of course that she will choose to travel with Kino in the future?Even though she understood it very well in her heart, she still only felt bursts of uncontrollable heartache... Kino seemed a little surprised at her obsession with Miss Doll, and maybe it was because she looked so pitiful at this moment, She wanted to come over to comfort her, but unexpectedly at this time her father walked slowly to her side with a slender and sharp kitchen knife.

Mother followed by father.

Kino looked at her father who was holding a kitchen knife with some vigilance, and she was also looking at him, not knowing why his father came to her with a kitchen knife.

The father didn't speak, just looked at the great man, and the great man nodded slightly as if encouraging.

Kino asked very politely what the great man was doing, but the great man seemed a little dismissive, and said flatly and naturally that this was of course to get rid of the useless child—"Of course we have to get rid of her, after all, this child is not only Rejecting the supreme operation, and disobeying your parents, right? It’s too scary, this kind of child can’t be left alone! You must know that children are the property of their parents at any time, even if they become adults! Since it is Parents have worked hard to give birth to and raise their children, so of course they also have the right to dispose of defective or defective products of poor quality."

and so……

Is she a bad product who is unwilling to undergo surgery?

She was a little dazed.

It feels like the whole world is unreal, and the heart seems to be broken, and the mouth is clearly open, but there is no breath of oxygen.

"Yeah, I didn't expect a child raised so hard to be a bad product..."

Father followed the voice of the great man to meet the Tao.

She raised her head in a daze and looked at her father, while her father looked at her with an extremely contemptuous look. He was completely different from his usual appearance, and his tone of speech was extremely understated. It's like saying "today's food is really bad".

—Will my father dispose of her like a bad meal in the trash?

Her world is falling apart.

His head was clearly still functioning, but it felt empty.

And the next moment her father rushed straight over, the blade was shining with silver light, but she was like a puppet who had lost her soul, froze in place, but she didn't expect that Kino would rush over from the side at this moment, It seemed as if she wanted to stop her father—she saw everything and wanted to thank Kino, but she knew that Kino would be too late, because her father's blade was close at hand, and she had already decided to deal with her father The action is so fierce, it is impossible to be stopped by others, isn't it?

puff--

She only heard the sound of a sharp knife piercing her body, and she suddenly felt that the world became very slow, and everything in front of her seemed to be in slow motion.

But she didn't feel any pain.

Blinking her eyes in a daze, she belatedly realized that Kino was directly blocking her at the critical moment, and the silver blade had already pierced through Kino's back at this moment——Kino Nuo hugged her father and fell slowly, like a broken tree, falling to the ground without moving.

She understood in an instant that Kino was subconsciously standing in front of her to save her, and involuntarily began to panic, not knowing what to do.

How to do?

She was really scared.

It was as if all the strength had been taken from the feet, and they couldn't support the body at all, so they could only sit softly on the ground.

The father became a little panicked because he stabbed the wrong target, but the great man stood up and said seriously that it was the fault of the traveler himself, so it was just a very unfortunate accident, and then the adults around He responded eagerly, attributing the mistake to Kino's unauthorized behavior—the father was probably very happy because he escaped punishment, and bent down with a smile, intending to pull out the kitchen knife on Kino's body, but it might be because the handle of the knife Because of the blood, the father's hand was slippery and he couldn't pull it out at all. After seeing it, the mother hurried over to help, but the two of them still couldn't pull it up.

The grown-up burst into laughter immediately after witnessing such a funny scene.

now think of it……

Maybe this is the last gift that Kino left her?

When she was so panicked that she didn't know what to do, suddenly there was a small hand on her shoulder, and after turning around, she realized that it was Miss Doll.

"Escape"

escape?

How to escape?

She wanted to ask, but for some reason her throat was so dry that she couldn't make a sound.

Fortunately, Miss Puppet let the notepad continue to display fonts as if she knew her doubts.

"Ride Hermes"

Hermes?

Is it Mr. Motorcycle that Chino fixed before?

She involuntarily looked at the brand-new motorcycle aside, and when she was still hesitating, she suddenly heard a strange voice quietly sounding, like a young boy talking to her: "Wait--we are riding Before, I asked you, have you ever ridden a bicycle before?"

Although it was a very strange question, she subconsciously nodded her head.

At this time, my father was about to pull out the kitchen knife.

"Do you want to die?"

The little boy asked her very seriously.

Of course not.

She wants to escape here with Miss Doll.

"Okay! I believe you must be a good rider! First, you sit on the seat of the motorcycle, hold the handlebars of the motorcycle firmly with both hands like riding a bicycle, and then use the grip with your right hand towards the Twist twice in the direction you are in, and lean forward—in a word, just imagine that you are riding a fast and heavy bicycle!" When the small voice said these words , the father and mother on the other side finally pulled out the kitchen knife abruptly, and they fell directly into a pool of blood because they lost their center of gravity. She smiled embarrassedly, then stood up and walked towards her.

She had wanted to ask Mr. Motorcycle what would happen if he did that.

"Listen to Hermes"

But since Miss Puppet said so, of course she doesn't want to ask, because Miss Puppet will definitely not harm her, right?

Father laughed very strangely.

It's scary.

But she will not pay attention to her father.

The lady puppet took the lead in sitting on the back seat of the motorcycle, and while reaching out to her, she motioned for her to come up quickly, and she also subconsciously grabbed the hand of the lady puppet—following the strength of the lady puppet to pull herself up, all of a sudden Sitting on the motorcycle, the field of vision has also become wider.

The little voice was telling her what to do.

So before her father was about to approach, she held the handlebar without hesitation and twisted it in, then leaned forward to lower her center of gravity.

rip--

The motorcycle galloped like a runaway wild horse.
