I couldn’t understand anything about this sudden change in her. I mean, at first he spoke so nicely, and his face had a different kind of glow back then. But as soon as we rented the house, her whole demeanor seemed to change in an instant.

  Nothing in his way of talking is like before; everything changed so suddenly. Thinking about all this makes my head spin. Anyway, I shouldn’t think too much about it. She has his path, and I have mine.

  I took off my shoes and started looking around to see what the house was like. It’s actually a wooden house, completely different in style.

  As I walked down the hallway, I looked toward the rooms. There are two rooms on the left; I think one of them is Mayoki’s room. And the other one is locked.

  And on the right side are the bathroom and the washroom. Let me see what condition they are in.

  Oh, this place is full of dust and spider webs. I can even see a few small beehives. I quickly shut the door. Otherwise, their stings will leave my body covered in swollen bumps.

  The bathroom is in terrible condition. Let me check the washroom. Yes, it’s the same here too.

  Who knows how long this house had been abandoned.

  But I’m supposed to stay in that small attic room. Yet I don’t see any stairs or ladder to get up there. How will I climb without a ladder? Let me check the kitchen; it might be there.

  As soon as I entered the kitchen and turned on the light, I saw dust everywhere. Why is there so much dust?

  But the kitchen is quite big. And I can see there’s a dining table here for eating together. I looked up toward the ceiling, searching to see if there was a ladder leading to the attic.

  There it is, in the far right corner. Let me go and check the room first.

  Everything is covered in dust. And the attic is in even worse condition.

  As I climbed up to the attic, everything around me was dark. I couldn’t see anything.

  What should I do? I can’t see anything in this darkness. How will I turn on the light switch?

  I have to search the wall with my hands in the dark. As I kept feeling along the wall, my feet kept hitting something again and again.

  What is my foot hitting? It hurts quite a bit.

  Ah, there it is again.

  I need to find the switch quickly. Otherwise, my feet will be completely battered.

  There it is, I found the switch.

  As soon as I turned on the light, I could see the room clearly. The room is much bigger than I expected. But there’s a lot of stuff scattered on the floor. It’s even dangerous to walk here.

  No wonder my feet kept hitting things.

  Still, it’s actually good. Everything needed for a room is here—

  a bed, a table, a wardrobe. Almost everything is present.

  I just need to clear the things from the floor and clean off the dust, and it will become a nice place to live.

  I should start cleaning quickly.

  I’m feeling very hungry too.
