Neighbour

I always get off Taxi here at this spot, but never really knew what's in there. There are pretty nice things for praying. Sorry, I don't know if it's Buddhism or Shintoism. My parents told me that Amalie has to pray here every time when they take a walk. And, she says "Thank you, mama is with me." I'm not showing off. I'm quite surprise, because she seriously is against me all the time. She just told me she only likes me a little bit, but she loves papa soooo much.

何年もここに住んでいたのに、目を向けた事のなかった観音様。意外と管理されていてきれいで驚き。両親によると、お散歩の度にアマリがここでお祈りするそう。それが、なんともびっくり、「ママがいてくれてありがとう。」と呟いているではありませんか。私の事なんて怖くもなくて言う事も聞かないし、反抗ばかりしているくせに。「ママはこれだけしか好きじゃないの。パパはこんなに大好きなの。」と連発しているくせに。でも、ママ嬉。

And, there is this house at the next block down from mine. My mom tells me to hurry past, since it might come down any moment. So, I do. Is the fire department okay with this?
Then, walking a little more, I even found this house down below. Is anyone living here???

そして、この家。ありえる？母が、「崩れると大変だからいそいで通るのよ。」と言って以来、息をつめて早歩きしてしまう私。消防法とかに引っかからないのか。いいのか、これで。

さらに、いつも通らない一角にあったこの家。かなりの昭和。
