East Makinata

Kanokan

Here's your coffee.

Oh, thanks.

You said it'd be leaving soon, right?

Yeah, it'll depart at 4.

It's been a long time since I've been on a train.

Let's go on a trip to chance upon a sunset

The wings will always watch over us

Are we so alike somewhere

that we're drawn to one another?

Look, while we're in the world where the sky has drawn near

I hope we can arrive at Lake Kanokan around sunrise. Passengers who already have tickets,

please present them when boarding the train!

Is it really necessary for us to go this early? please present them when boarding the train!

Of course.

Nothing beats fishing in the morning!

It looks like fishing's really good at Lake Kanokan. And I want to ride the night train.

Well, I suppose... I understand.

Do you have a ticket?

Yeah.

Want to get on now?

Here. This is for two.

Seats I-2 and 3, right?

Um, I think it's around here...

Oh, while we're at it...

They said it was the other car. Oh, while we're at it...

They said it was the other car.

Huh? Did they?

Yeah, I want to wear a scarf when I'm there.

Oh, get this too, please.

Mom, can I have tea? Oh, get this too, please.

I told you, we're leaving.

Here they are.

Oh no, are your seats separated?

Oh, Miss Conductor.

Mii-chan! Is seat I-1 open?

Seat I-1?

Let me see...

That one's empty for today.

Okay, got it!

You can sit in seats 1 and 2. I'll change your tickets for you.

Are you sure?

You're a huge help!

Where did you buy that ticket?

A ticket sales shop in Makinata called Shimaya.

Shimaya, huh? I'll remember that.

O-okay...

I'm so glad.

I wonder if Shimaya will be mad...

Heading to Kanokan! Heading to Kanokan! We'll be departing shortly.

We started moving!

Yeah... But since it's pitch black, you can't really tell.

Do you want to go buy breakfast for now?

Yeah.

Whoops.

Are you okay?

MENU - Minced meat Bowl - Inari Box - Veggie Tempura Box - Boiled Rice & Meat - Onigiri Box - Pressed Sushi

Cucumber Sandwich

What will you get, Hakumei?

Hmm... Minced meat box or Inari box...

I think I'll have a cucumber sandwich and a soup.

What? You're not gonna get a box set?

Is a cucumber sandwich no good?

I mean, we've been eagerly awaiting this train ride!

Miss, if you haven't decided, can I go ahead of you?

Go on ahead!

Beer and fried yam.

Right away!

The inari box set, a cucumber sandwich, a soup, and-

fried yam!

Right away!

Let's trade a piece.

Yeah!

Did you see something?

Yeah. I saw a river for a little bit.

I wonder where we are right now.

No idea.

Wanna open the window and look?

Let's do that.

It's hard to open...

That feels nice!

Yeah, but we don't know about where we are.

Right now, we're around Meisashi.

Oh... Thank you.

Mii-chan.

In about an hour, we'll stop at the Kazashi railway station.

I see.

If this were the old railway schedule, we would be going via the Yakatsu mines,

but passengers using that line have decreased.

Really?

But now, we run through the Hikoto region, so the view is nice.

On the way home, definitely ride the Hakufutsu train!

Shall I show you the route map?

Oh, you were in the middle of eating, weren't you? My apologies for rambling on!

It's okay.

Mii-chan is impressive...

Yeah.

KAZASHI Meisashi East Makinata

Morning. You've already opened up shop, right?

Of course. Gonna buy something?

Ginger tempura and two glass bottles of orb tea.

You're still eating?

I get really hungry while traveling.

Okay, here you go.

What is this "orb tea"?

It's an infusion tea. It's a specialty of Kazashi.

They put water and fresh leaves in a orb-shaped bottle and it stays sealed up until you drink it.

It's only here that the contents are sold so cheaply, though.

Because we've come all the way here... right?

When we get home, I'll try to make it with some different leaves.

Wow, the ginger tempura is hot!

Drink the tea! The tea!

Thanks.

It's a pretty color.

Maybe because they're fresh leaves.

The sky has brightened up.

Yeah.

We'll be departing soon, huh?

Yeah.

The other stalls have started opening up.

Th-there's a stall for cloth here!

Let's drop by on the way back.

But they're selling cloth!

But the train is ready to leave.

We'll be entering the tunnel shortly! Please close the windows!

It's gotten completely dark.

That's boring.

I'm lighting the lamps.

This is going in front of you.

All done. Would you like some coffee or tea?

Yes, coffee.

Same for me.

The coffee... isn't very good, huh?

Hm...

Mikochi, I'm going to the restroom...

RESTROOM

One more coffee, please.

Coming right up.

Morning, Mikochi.
