"Nobody likes to see its own faults being blamed for. But there are in the universe a great number of mirrors that reflect our weaknesses." -Spencer Treming, space writer
28th Stop
Idle One's Mirror
p42-43
It looks like a negative Mars.
From here to Andromeda, the people of some planets like this one can look like mirrors...

This place looks like the Earth if it had reached its peak.
Meanwhile, the Earth became strange...
Yes! People started to get robotised...
But people have manage to mastered machines.
In books, there is no one to write anything.
It's absolutely free of danger here: it's a really quiet place...
Are you getting off alone? I'm not sure it's a good idea...
Maetel told me that this place was safe though.
I'm recommending against doing that!
I'll still go!!!
p47
?
?
Please get on.
Where do you wish to go?
Oh! Neat!
Drive me to the liveliest place of the town.
Understood.
Lively places are the most interesting.
Understood.
p48
?
I'm sorry, but I asked for a lively place.
That is the place.
p49
But there aren't a single child here!!
It's the liveliest place of the town, there are even some shops.
You can't say that when it's deserted!!
Shall I take a drink...
panel: Coffee
Wow! An automatic door, it's been a long time I haven't seen any!
Welcome!!!
I'll take a multifruits juice please.
Very well!
Please insert money in the central hole on the table. It will be 10 yen.
It's really cheap...
...
p50
I feel like I'm a machine drinking oil too.
Are you done?
Huh? Er... Yes.
Thank you for your patronage!
I feel like I'm being chased away...
Where do you wish to go now?
A place where people live in great number.
It's really handy after all.
You've arrived.
?!
p51
Here's Bed Town, a residential district. People are at their home.
They're all houses...
... I can't see a soul here.
Get in! It's open!
Please excuse me...
p52
??
Please forgive me, I'm filling up all my house. It was my leg you bumped into.
!!
Your leg...?
I'm sorry...
p53
So they're locked in their house?
Yes, humans live that way.
They live that way...!!
What's going on? Something has fallen?
Some house has exploded!!
p54
Why has it exploded?
This kind of incidents happens sometimes.
Ah...
People will surely get out to see what's happening. Bring me there!
I don't think it's really respectful for the other, but if that's what you really want, I'll drive you there...
!!
p55
Nice to meet you! How are you?
Since I wasn't able to sleep, I inflate my body and that's what happened. I'm sorry.
Wow!!!
p56
The wind is scratching my skin. Is it the same for you too?
What will happen to you now that your house is destroyed?
I'm not worried, the government will build a whole new one for me.
Is there any carpenter nearby?
I just need to think about a new house and some robots will intercept my brainwaves and they automatically build one for my size.
We don't have anything to do. We just live.
Beware! Since the weather is fine today, houses explode here and there!
What?!
p57
I took some weight again.
Lately, food isn't really good.
Rebuild have started, let's ask for a beautiful house!
Your skin has gotten back its shining appearance when getting thicker...
One of the pillars of my house was bothering me. But it's still here!
p58
Humans would've become like this if they hadn't lost against the robots?
No one on this planet wanted to become an android, and yet, they all live really long.
And to say that idlers squeeze themselves in those houses.
I wonder if the sloth who lives in my heart looks like them. This planet might reflect what I really am...
Sometimes, you do not like the image reflected by the mirror. If it could reflect your own heart, you would get an even more unbearable feeling. Tetsurou made the wish to not contemplate its reflect this way anymore.
