It's not bad to be an island that hasn't become a tourist destination.

When I got out of the ferry, I thought.

White clouds floating in the blue sky.

Blue and white. I see only those two colors.

Yet it was an emptiness that made me think it was unusually colorful.

I was in the sea breeze and my short hair was stirred up.

Nature and body stretched out to the scent of a very sticky sea.

I put the equipment on my shoulder and roll the bag with my clothes changed and so on because it has tires on it.

I'll also put some drunk Mi-qin bags on my back on the ferry.

The harp painter who holds his own luggage had a conversation with the pavilion-like man at the inn who would have been meeting him.

Take the coastline to the inn in a white van.

Sometimes they just say cat island.

Everywhere, there was a wildcat.

The Islanders are not wasted either. But most of them were old men.

"Young people go to the main island more and more"

And the pavilion owner spilled it without any worries.

My own daughter said she had just left for Tokyo.

"Is Tokyo such a good place?

"I don't know. Because we're not people in Tokyo."

A harp painter sitting in the passenger seat is having a conversation with the pavilion owner.

Sitting in the back seat, I shifted my gaze from the window to Mi-qin.

"Are you all right?

"Mmm... I'm fine..."

I guess I'm still drunk.

But the view you can see outside the window just makes Mi-qin seem to be stirring his heart, too.

It's a small island in the Pacific Ocean.

As the name Iwatomi Island reveals, huge rocks are flying off the ground everywhere.

All of them, sharp, even seemed like a dinosaur's back.

The inn was built in a place overlooking the sea.

It's not a very large inn on three floors, but it was recently remodeled and said it was also popular there.

They don't have anything as attentive as a hot spring, but they have a big bath.

"When you get to your room, let's just go take a shot"

"Can I rest?

Exactly, Mi-qin was not in jersey, but hot pants on a t-shirt.

But when I got to the room, I dressed up in jersey like that and lay down on a tatami.

When I left my luggage, I went to the room next door where I was staying.

Get dressed and look at the minimum luggage.

"Go."

When I got out of the room, Mr. Harp Painting was already waiting.

"Mi-qin, are you okay?

"You can leave me alone. I asked about myself. It's a hassle being able to follow you in that state."

"Indeed."

You two, we're going outside.

The cat was nowhere to be found and was everywhere.

Shortly after leaving the inn, many harp paintings took pictures.

"Fortunately, you don't understand this, do you?

"Right... because you're full of cats"

"When that happens, I knew the background wouldn't matter"

"You want me to look for you?

I left my luggage with Mr. Harp. [M]

"Do that. I want you to find a place I think I can turn tomorrow."

"Okay."

"I'm shooting near the inn for now."

Peeping at the camera finder, Harp Painting answered.

I leave the inn and walk off the island.

Hit the map of the island and make a point with a red pen.

Along the way, he also asks the wrong islanders where it seems good.

"Well, Princess Mori, you might want a rock."

With that information, I quickly turned to the rock that it was in the middle of the island.

The centre of the island consisted of woods and cut rocks.

There are private houses along the way, and cars are running.

But the further away from the sea, the less people seemed to get.

The map also stated the location of its forest princess rock and proceeded without straying.

"Oh... this one"

Going down a narrow path sandwiched between trees and trees, he went out into a circularly cut out place.

Was it named Forest Princess Rock because of her appearance, which reminded her of a human woman?

the center of that circularly-cut place. The rock was sitting there.

The rock, which is much shorter than mine, is elongated and, by the way, human-like.

"This is no good..."

"What's wrong with you?

Suddenly I heard a voice.

An old man, who would be an Islander, stood alone when he fumbled.

Her hair is bright white, and the wrinkles carved in her face remind her of the annual wheels that lived for many years.

He was holding a long cane in his trembling right hand, but his ankle was so tight that he didn't have to use it.

"Oh, no... this rock isn't working."

For the Islanders, it could be a pride of place.

I spoke with caution. [M]

"I came to this island to photograph a cat..."

"I see. There are no cats around here."

And the old man laughed when he showed his gums.

"Most cats are on the coast... not in the woods"

"Really?"

I asked because I felt like an old man. [M]

"Do you have any idea where you might have gone for a shoot?

"That's not true, most of this island would. Walk along the coast and you'll find cats everywhere."

"Yes, but... because of that, I also wanted to focus on the background"

"Oh......"

Nodding as convinced, the old man walked out.

The old man uttered his voice as he hurried to follow.

"Then there's a place ahead that's not even on the map"

"Where is it?

"On the other side of the place where the ferry docked, it's like there's only rocks... there are many cats because the islanders are barely connected either. Let me tell you something special."

That being said, the place taken was indeed a coast full of rocks.

But in the corner was a white sandy beach surrounded by rocks and rocks.

It was brilliant.

A cat paradise without people's hands on it.

A cat is sleeping and sunbathing in a flat place on a rock.

The kitten was bluffing her head with a wave of babysitting to beat her off.

Over a hundred cats relax on each side.

"Thank you"

Earlier tomorrow, I thought I'd bring Mr. Harp Painting.

That's when my phone rang.

It was from Meiqin.

"Are you all right?

'I will go, too, because I am resurrected. Where are you now?

"Where... on the other side of the island... uh... near Okudi Shrine"

"Oh, right here."

Apparently, Mi-qin also has a map.

"I'll go now, I'll meet you there"

"Okay."

I thanked the old man and went to the shrine of Okuda.

If Mi-qin is coming, I thought I'd show her the cat paradise before Harp Painting.
