Deep Within the Island

deepwithintheisland.jpg

I went off to meet this kind of amazing luminary who lives deep within the island. I don’t know what kind of guy he is, but he apparently eats raw meat. But even if he welcomes me in and serves me raw meat, I won’t be able to eat raw meat. So I went off into the island carrying a gas stove on my back.

島の奥に住んでるという、なんだか凄いカリスマに会いに行く事になった
そいつがどんなやつか知らないけれど、生肉を食うらしい
もし、歓迎されて生肉を出されても自分は生肉を食えないから、ガスコンロを背負って島の奥に行った

This short story originally appeared as 「島の奥」in the book『ただいま、おかえりなさい』 (Tadaima Okaerinasai).
