Miyako Diaries 4: The Road Guardian (Patreon)
Content
Aya was on her way home from the fisheries at Port Hirara, running errands for her fisherman dad. It was still midday, and she decided to take a brief break from the sun and the heat (yes it is December - but people here are walking around with parasols!). She remembered the first time she took Chihaya here, and how Chihaya was taking pictures with her tiny digital camera, and that she was much puzzled by the letters on this red banner ("N'mya-chi," it says, which is "Welcome" in Miyako local tongue but a world away from the very popular "Yokoso" per standard Japanese). Well, not much time to idle around here. Aya had a couple guest rooms to clean back home but, after that, she and Chihaya should be able to hit the beach before twilight comes.
