“

I went to Italy to do some research, and there was something that I found a bit strange: their policemen. Policemen in airports or jails carry machine guns. This made me wonder if things were pretty dangerous, but then I saw policemen wearing capes and carrying swords — the old-fashioned kind that soldiers in the past used to carry. And then I thought, do they use both the swords and the machine guns to fight against evildoers? The more I use my imagination, the more intense the battle seems to me in my mind.

“

イタリアに取材に行ったんですけど、ちょいと不思議に思ったことがある。
警官である。空港とか刑務所にいる警官はマシンガンを持っている。結構ヤバイのかなぁと思っていると、マントを着て、「剣」を持っているタイプの警官もいる。昔の軍人とかが持っていたような「剣」である。
思ったんだけど『マシンガン』も『剣』も悪人と闘う時に使うんですかね、あれ？想像すると両方ともスゴそうな闘いが街中で行われそうなんですけど。
