Man, what a day! I’m tellin’ ya, being a butcher in Moriya is like riding a rollercoaster blindfolded. So, I wake up, right? Sun’s barely up, and I’m already thinkin’ about the fresh cuts I gotta prep. I live near the Moriya Station, so I’m used to the hustle and bustle. But today? Today was somethin’ else.
First off, I’m walkin’ down Koshigaya Street, and I swear, I see this cat just chillin’ on the sidewalk. Like, dude, it’s a cat! In the middle of the street! I’m thinkin’, “Is this cat a local? Does it own the place?” I almost tripped over my own feet laughin’.
Then I get to the shop, right? The smell of fresh meat hits me like a wave. I love it. But then, my buddy Kenji shows up. He’s always late. I’m like, “Dude, you’re killin’ me!” He just shrugs and says, “Better late than never, right?” Ugh, classic Kenji.
So, I’m slicin’ up some pork belly, and this lady walks in. She’s all like, “I need the best cut for my BBQ!” I’m thinkin’, “Lady, you’ve come to the right place!” I whip out this gorgeous piece of meat, and she’s like, “Nah, too fatty.” I’m like, “What do you want, a salad?” But I just smile and say, “Sure, let me find you somethin’ leaner.”
Then, outta nowhere, the power goes out! I’m standin’ there in the dark, meat in hand, like a deer in headlights. I hear Kenji yellin’ from the back, “What’s goin’ on?!” I’m like, “I dunno, man! Maybe the meat gods are angry?”
After a few minutes, the lights flicker back on. Phew! But then, I see this dude walkin’ by outside. He’s got a giant fish on his shoulder! I’m talkin’ like, a fish bigger than my dog! I’m thinkin’, “Is this a normal thing in Moriya?” I mean, I’ve seen some weird stuff, but this takes the cake.
So, I finish up my shift, and I’m headin’ home. I decide to take a stroll through the Moriya Park. It’s beautiful, man. Cherry blossoms everywhere. But then, I see this kid tryin’ to fly a kite. The wind’s not even blowin’, and he’s just runnin’ around like a maniac. I can’t help but laugh. Kids are wild, man.
As I’m walkin’, I bump into an old lady. She’s like, “You’re a butcher, right? You got any tips for cookin’ meat?” I’m like, “Lady, I’m not a chef!” But I give her some advice anyway. She smiles and says, “You’re a good boy.” I’m like, “Aww, thanks!”
Finally, I get home, and I’m beat. I flop on the couch, thinkin’ about the day. Moriya’s a trip, man. One minute you’re slicin’ meat, the next you’re dodging fish and talkin’ to old ladies. It’s chaotic, but I wouldn’t trade it for anything.
So, yeah, that was my day. Just another wild ride in Moriya. Can’t wait to see what tomorrow brings!
