Man, what a day! I’m tellin’ ya, being a swineherd in Nakatsu ain’t for the faint-hearted. So, I wake up, right? Sun’s blazin’ through my window, and I’m like, “Great, another day of wranglin’ pigs.” But today? Oh boy, it was a rollercoaster. First off, I head down to the Nakatsu River. It’s a chill spot, y’know? The water’s flowin’, and I’m just tryin’ to enjoy my morning. But then, outta nowhere, I see this dude tryin’ to fish. He’s got this fancy rod, lookin’ all serious. I’m like, “Bro, you know it’s not even fishin’ season, right?” He just gives me this look like I’m the crazy one. Whatever, man. So I’m walkin’ down the streets, passin’ by the Nakatsu Castle ruins. Man, those walls are ancient! I always think about how many stories they could tell. But today, I’m just tryin’ to get to the market. Gotta sell some pork, y’know? I hit up the Nakatsu shopping street, and it’s packed! Like, where did all these people come from? I’m dodgin’ folks left and right, tryin’ not to trip over my own feet. And then, BAM! I bump into this lady. She’s got a basket full of veggies, and I’m like, “Sorry, my bad!” But she just glares at me. Like, chill, lady! It’s not like I’m tryin’ to start a veggie war here. Finally, I get to the market. The smell of grilled meat hits me like a freight train. I’m droolin’ just thinkin’ about it. But then, I see my buddy Taro. He’s got this huge grin on his face. “Dude, you won’t believe what happened!” I’m like, “Spill it!” Turns out, he found a pig that escaped and ran through the streets of Nakatsu! Can you imagine? A pig just cruisin’ down Otemachi Street like it owns the place. I can’t stop laughin’. But then, I get a call. My phone’s buzzin’ like crazy. It’s my boss. “Where are you? The pigs need feedin’!” I’m like, “Chill, I’m on my way!” But inside, I’m freakin’ out. I sprint back, dodgin’ people again. I swear, I’m like a ninja or somethin’. When I finally get to the farm, it’s chaos. Pigs are squealin’, and I’m tryin’ to calm ‘em down. But then, I step in mud. Ugh, gross! My shoes are ruined. I’m like, “Great, just what I needed.” After a long day, I finally sit down. I’m exhausted, but there’s this sense of satisfaction. I look out at the sunset over Nakatsu. The sky’s all orange and pink, and I’m thinkin’, “Man, this city is wild.” But then, I remember the fishin’ dude. I can’t help but chuckle. Life’s funny like that. One minute you’re dodgin’ angry ladies, and the next, you’re watchin’ a sunset. Nakatsu, you crazy place, you. So yeah, that was my day. Full of ups and downs, but I wouldn’t trade it for anything. Just another day in the life of a swineherd, I guess!
