“If you expect something to turn back to you, even despite all the sins you have committed, do prepare. Because it is very likely to be a wonderful karma.”
CHAPTER XXI: A Guy In Common Clothes; The Havoc in the Hinstown Street
“YOU HAVE GOT to be kidding me…” I slowly exclaimed, evidently mesmerized by the wonders before my eyes. I roamed my sight from the littlest to the farthest corner I could spot. It was… it was plain beautiful. I could not say anything else, I ran out of words. I felt speechless. This country never failed to amaze me.
“What? It is not like this is your first time visiting here.” My daydream was obstructed when Houlio Merto spoke all of a sudden. I turned to him and he was rotating

“Because it is only to those nomadic people who do not settle for what life has already offered that they get to live in a wonderful peculiarity. They ought to discover more. They ought to seek what is yet seen and written.” CHAPTER XXIV: Ultimate Judgment; The Agreement of Journeying the Beyondness of the Borderlines HOULIO MERTO WAS fast asleep. I tried waking him up multiple times but it was no use. He fell into a deep pit of slumber so carelessly.

After all, he had gotten a scratch from those beasts. I bet that was what made his body more heavy

From the entrance, to its walls, to the roofs of it that had seemed to block my view above— it was majestic. It was immaculate. It did not look like the usual stinky market I used to be working in before. It looked like a Greek temple, with a lot of sharp edges and details. It had columns even! I tell you, it certainly did not look like a market. It looked more like a place where you bring offerings and worship gods and goddesses for hours, wishing for good fortune.
