Memory - First day of “Land of Permitted Murder” — Jungle's Rule —
Description: The names "Kino" and "Hermes" are blanked out with static.
Sky and the motorrad travel along a road beside a prairie and a lake. They come across a man with a horse who tries to get Sky to carry some of his supplies for him since they're both headed to the same country, but Sky declines and mentions that if they agreed, the man would have no way of preventing them from running ahead with his stuff and selling it once they got there. They then go on to discuss the country itself, with Sky saying they'd heard it was a "gentlemanly country" and the man declaring that it's a "Land of Permitted Murder" where you can't steal, but you can murder anyone without breaking the law. His own country was full of laws, so he decided to immigrate to a place more suited to him, especially since it seems a legendary serial killer has likely made his home in that country. He seems to expect it to be a jungle inside the country's walls.
Sky once again declines a request to carry his stuff for him and goes ahead to the country. The immigration officer remarks that they are agreeing to visit a country where murder is not illegal no matter if you are a citizen or traveler, and Sky agrees to those terms. They go inside.
Note: the original Japanese does not particularly gender Kino, and by default most people tend to assume Kino is male upon sight, so assume cases of "Miss" etc. are just some polite referral to Kino (one official translation uses Mx.)
