Since one cat has reached from Sakashita, if it begins to carry out camera , another cat will have got down from Sakagami.
If you think whether it disappeared in the yard of the house in character with an intermediate dilapidated house, another cat will appear from Sakashita again.
It seems that this three-forked road is a cat crossing somehow.

The Japanese-style food morning of 1000 yen Dressed dishes It unites and is bean paste. A dried food is delicious too.

First of all, it is to yesterday's "cat crossing" after breakfast.
Although stretched from about 8:30, as it considered, a cat does not appear.
Although aimed from heights, in the lady of a lower private house, what times show from the door here.
Since it is a way exactly as the cat, the camera has turned to the direction there.

The lady came out from the door and looked up here.
"... yes -- since a picture of っ, and I am sorry and a cat is taken ... "
"cat or ... if it was a cat, there was a brown cat a while ago -- "

It seems that a cat is not disagreeable somehow.

"-- really ... this passage -- a cat -- many -- "
an old woman (と -- it says or she is an around 70-year-old old woman) -- say that some ... fries a flower
The flower of the yard was cut and this one has been visited.

The got flower FX-1

"Is it Tokyo? It visited that he to be Ute and went to Tokyo before. It -time-started and was serious. Return is it rains and cold ... (the reminiscence of 、 which is not dropped below continues)."

" and ... the house on that is not -- "
"It is absent."
"Stray cats enter the inside of the yard earnestly in ... etc."
"A house there is also . that dies suddenly at whether it lived alone before"

Since the tourist who turns around about 7French circulation begins to turn from the temple from a station, his average person is hardly in the temple on and after the middle stage in the morning. By the last temple and Kairyu-zi, it still became together with a young daughter Mr. two-person companion. They had all murmured ", Ney who has finished", when it had seemingly rotated and came out of a temple. Probably, it would begin to turn from the previous day and will have turned since first thing in the morning today also.

After he walks along distance considerably and the Sind finishes, it is too somewhat lonely mono-.

(Inside of the toilet of Saikoku-zi)

Lunch is to a sushi shop " tengu sushi " famous for Onomichi.
Seemingly, the pressed sushi of a conger and shrimp fish powder will be famous here. Although eaten instantly, the atmosphere of inside of a shop is not quite satisfactory.
TV is beside a counter and "a smile is sure" was broadcasting. Moreover, volume is large and jarring.
The sound of TV is not needed in the sushi shop where it is stylish to carry out the delicious meal with much trouble, furthermore to grasp silently.
