Kino no Tabi: The Beautiful World - Nanika wo Suru Tame ni - Life Goes On

The sky is boundless, because it's the mirror of my soul.

Kino no Tabi

It changes colors everyday, as if it's reflecting my heart.

The white smoky haze turns into clouds.

Concealing my tears that seem about to overflow.

When something I have faith in begins to fall apart

I close my eyes and make a wish.

Even on a night when I'm alone and can't fall asleep

I just close my eyes in the darkness

and find myself listening closely for the radiance of the stars.

I'll keep running, even barefooted, because I cant give this up

and like the moon in the blue sky,

I want to embrace my transience and reach out my hand.

Welcome home, Kino.

I'm home, Teacher.

You've cut your hair.

I think it looks good.

Yes. I like it as well.

What she said.

Note: Kino uses both the masculine and feminine form of "I". These are colored blue and pink, respectively.

In order to do something

Wake up!

It's morning.

It'd be nice if you woke me up a little more politely.

Rather than just hitting me every time...

Are you listening?

I'm listening.

Every single time...

Every time, I yell and yell, and you don't wake. It's your own fault.

Good morning, Hermes.

Good morning, Kino.

Good morning.

The weather is nice again today.

Good morning, Shishou.

Before breakfast, let's hang the sheets out to air.

What were our plans for when the weather turned good?

To cut down a tree in the forest.

To get things in order because the gunpowder seller is coming in the afternoon.

That's all.

That's right.

We'll take care of the tree this afternoon.

And then after we eat, we'll do your practice again.

Yes.

Shishou, would you like me to make breakfast again?

No, I'd be happy to do it.

Shishou, you really enjoy cooking, don't you?

How is she?

As usual.

She is a genius.

But there are still things I need to teach her.

She will probably become even better.

But...

But?

Simply being a good driver does not guarantee winning the race.

I worry about that in the long run.

These are the things you ordered.

And here are the vegetables and bacon.

Eat the eggs before they spoil.

I also thought you might have run out of the Aunt's jam by now.

Yes, thank you as always.

Umm...

I've asked before, but are you sure you don't want to live inside the country?

Everyone would welcome you.

I've answered this before, and while I thank everyone for their kind feelings,

I have no intention of doing that.

In addition, I am no longer alone.

This is about... well... the future of the household, but what are you going to do about that child?

Will she keep living here alone with the Motorrad?

That is for her to decide.

I understand.

Oh, what did you think of the new semi-automatic rapid-fire Persuader?

It wasn't too bad.

The country's technologists were very proud of it.

They told me they were anxious for your opinion.

I also intend to use it later today.

Kino.

Kino?

You're being called.

The gunpowder man is leaving.

Coming!

Thank you, Kino, for taking care of Oscar every time.

You're welcome.

Well then, let me know if you need me.

Yes, I will.

Till next time.

Kino, do you like living here?

Yes, very much.

If you could, would you stay forever?

What do you want to do here?

What do I want to do?

Well, never mind.

A life doesn't have to achieve something to be considered meaningful.

That's right.

Well then, see you again, Kino.

Bye!

Kino, as we said this morning, we'll be going to cut down a tree.

Get ready.

Okay.

I won't tell the technologists about this.

Kino.

Sometimes it still seems like it isn't my name.

I am Kino.

I am Kino.

I am Kino.

I am Kino, I am.

I guess "I" fits Kino better after all.

Kino, the water in the tank is getting low.

Could you go get more?

So it didn't work after all.

Other than her, I can't think of anyone else who can help to resolve our problem.

That's the seventh group to have come here.

People have come from the neighboring country to ask your teacher for favors.

But they were all refused.

Because Shishou has no intention of leaving the forest...

I wonder what they're all coming here to ask.

Preparations okay.

Let's go.

Be gentle with me.

Now change gears and gently increase the speed.

Hey, don't be so reckless.

It'd be nice if she was a genius at riding Motorrads as well.

Well, she's better than she was at first.

So to start, I'll teach you to raise me from a fallen position.

Got it.

First, put me on my side.

Okay?

Anytime, anywhere, you need to be able to raise the frame by yourself,

or you have no right to ride a Moto-!

I knocked you down.

You were supposed to do it gently!

Kino!

This coat was given to me by a traveler at a hotel in a neighboring country.

Given?

At that time, I was about to go to a colder place,

and he, who was going somewhere warmer, kindly gave it to me.

He laughed and said the people in his country all take a coat like this whenever they go traveling,

so that no matter where they are, if they see the coat, they know they are fellow countrymen.

That country - the country where the man who gave you that coat came from - where is it?

He said two countries directly west from here, I think.

I understand how you feel.

However, with only that, you do not know exactly where that country is,

and you do not know if that is where the man you got your coat from came from.

It could be that he, like the traveler you met in the forest, received or bought it from someone else.

Even so, I would like to do this.

I would like to...

Is that wrong?

No, I will not stop you.

This is your life after all.

Only...

Yes?

Only, I do not know if doing this is a good thing or a bad thing.

But...

I feel that if I don't do this, I won't be able to do anything else.

We cannot know how things will fall.

To you, or to the other person, there could be serious consequences.

Yes.

Of course, that may not happen.

Well then, how about if I ask around and find out about this country from others?

It shouldn't be too late to depart after that.

How is that?

Please!

And even if it's only a week's travel by Motorrad, it is still too dangerous for you.

Starting tomorrow, we will begin intense training. Do you understand?

Yes!
