Like any other country, this one was surrounded by round and tall gray walls. Other than the wall not having seams on its material, there was nothing strange about its appearance.
Except that this country…]
...It's coming towards us.
[Kino stared, stupefied, at the country that suddenly appeared amidst the scenery in the east.
Beyond the trees, the top of the walls went in and out of view. It was slowly but steadily drawing near. In other words, it was going towards Kino’s direction. The tremors were becoming stronger.]

Hi!
Re: “A Troublesome Land” ─Leave Only Footsteps!─
[Smiling warmly.]
What's going on? Did something happen?
['A pain' they had said, whatever it was that was bothering them.]
Re: “A Troublesome Land” ─Leave Only Footsteps!─
It's a big problem! Got any ideas, Kino?
Hmmm...
Maybe a nap?
Re: “A Troublesome Land” ─Leave Only Footsteps!─
Re: “A Troublesome Land” ─Leave Only Footsteps!─
[They begin going through the supplies attached to Hermes, pulling out a hammock.]
-Wait, huh? Kino, you weren't kidding?
Re: “A Troublesome Land” ─Leave Only Footsteps!─
Re: “A Troublesome Land” ─Leave Only Footsteps!─
[And as they begin to seek out trees to string up the hammock, they freeze - because the ground has begun to rumble.]
Re: “A Troublesome Land” ─Leave Only Footsteps!─
Wha- what was that?
[Putting a hand protectively on Kino's arm.]
Re: “A Troublesome Land” ─Leave Only Footsteps!─
[Their voice is terse as they yank on her hand, pulling her down with them.]
Hmmm... I don't think it's an earthquake, Kino.
Then what is it?
Something big.
Re: “A Troublesome Land” ─Leave Only Footsteps!─
[Lifting her head a bit to look, still crouched beside them.]
Re: “A Troublesome Land” ─Leave Only Footsteps!─
[As for 'it...'
‘It’ was a country.
Like any other country, this one was surrounded by round and tall gray walls. Other than the wall not having seams on its material, there was nothing strange about its appearance.
Except that this country…]
...It's coming towards us.

The mystery's solved.
No doubt… Well, what is that thing?
A country, isn’t it obvious?
Re: “A Troublesome Land” ─Leave Only Footsteps!─
[Worried as she watches it head towards their direction.]
What's making it move like that?
Re: “A Troublesome Land” ─Leave Only Footsteps!─
...Actually, we could do that, couldn't we?
Huh?!
Re: “A Troublesome Land” ─Leave Only Footsteps!─
[As long as Kino knows what they're doing, she will follow.]
Re: “A Troublesome Land” ─Leave Only Footsteps!─
Re: “A Troublesome Land” ─Leave Only Footsteps!─
What's the signal?
Re: “A Troublesome Land” ─Leave Only Footsteps!─
Kino... are you sure this is a good plan?
As long as it works, it's fine even if it's simple, right?
Re: “A Troublesome Land” ─Leave Only Footsteps!─
Are you sure we shouldn't just go together?
Re: “A Troublesome Land” ─Leave Only Footsteps!─
I'll be alright. If it looks dangerous, I'll avoid any fire.
You better patch me up afterwards if I get any holes!
[They pack the hammock back into place, pulling their goggles down over their eyes.]
Re: “A Troublesome Land” ─Leave Only Footsteps!─
[Ugh... she's so worried.]
Please be careful.
