Chapter 2“Ehhh, this is a house? Someone actually lives here!” Risa tripped onto her butt as she saw the woman walk down to the bottom of the stairs.
“Yes, we live here. Why didn’t you knock?” Ai asked her as she lifted her up from the floor.
“Arigatou.” The bean bowed to her as they both dusted her off. “Why is it so dirty?”
Ai smiled as she looked around the house, it was moldy and everything was old to Risa. In her eyes, it was still brand new as nothing has changed. Ai took a seat on the table and began to smell the table with a smile like it was polished with lemon Pledge. Risa stood in the hallway attempting to understand Ai and her unusual adaptation to the old house.
“It is clean, I cleaned it yesterday.” Risa closed her eyes for a second and opened to find what she had been talking about.
The old house was turned into a beautiful interior and the smell of lemon filled the house as Ai danced through the room and landed on the couch. The room was filled with red hue and the couch which was filled with dust was a light shade of green. Ai snugged up to the pillow and looked back at the bean who was still in disbelief.
“How did this happen?” Risa rubbed her eyes and pinched herself.
“I told you, I cleaned up before.” Ai smiled at her as she grabbed Risa by the hand.
Risa sat down on the couch and it was warm with Ai’s warm body just being on it. She studied the whole room and compared to what she had seen before. It was dynamically different and then a peculiar smell of flowers hit the bean’s nose. She noticed the vase behind the host and the bright yellow flowers added to the atmosphere surrounding her. Then, she looked up and saw a family portrait of Ai and her parents; she had a sparkle showing her excitement, assuming she was much younger. Then, she snapped back to Ai who was staring at her with a grin on her face.
“I have a nice house right?” Risa nodded as she went back to the front door.
Every item was changed from when she first entered, it was luxurious compared to before, but she began to ponder why, why was it different from before? She was in disbelief that it was once a rundown house with no other decorations and it magically turned into a house in the middle of the forest with lights and colors that would be welcoming to any visitor. Risa tried to theorize what had actually happened and with every scenario, it would get shot down by common sense. Then, she ran up to Ai and touched her face: it was soft, silky, not a rough patch. She felt her arms with a slight tone to her and went back up to her face and moved it around.
“Why are you doing this?” Ai questioned her as Risa placed her hands on her face and looked into her eyes.
“You are real.” She stated as Ai pushed her away.
“Of course I’m real.” Ai walked up to Risa and touched her face imitating the bean’s motions.
Risa felt confident that she had to been dreaming and zoomed out of the house to look at the exterior. It was only lit by the moon as she saw it before she had entered the house. Then, she walked back in to find Ai still smiling with her hands to her back observing the bean panicking in front of her. Without any explanation, Risa decided to hug Ai as her final test, she felt the arms slowly embracing her, and the scent of strawberries filled her nose.
“You smell like strawberries.” Risa murmured to her ear as Ai took a sniff of her partner.
“You need a bath!” Ai joked as Risa pushed her away, feeling a bounce coming off her hands.
The bean was on the verge of tears as she felt warmth in a long time and she had to take advantage of her house. She ran upstairs to see the house refurnished with her room lit and the bathroom cleansed of the filth from before. Ai looked at Risa and offered the bathroom for her to use. The bean looked to see if the extra clothes would do before jumping in for a bath. It was slightly bigger than she anticipated but it would do.
She never felt warm water in a long time; it was a pleasurable experience for her to let anything warm hit her body. However, the thoughts were still weighing on her mind on how it could change within seconds, she felt that she went into a time warp, and popped back into another time where the house had been inhabited by people. She was still not convinced that it all happened in front of her but it was nice that a person let her used the shower to clean up.
Risa got herself refreshed by the bath and walked out to find a towel to wrap around her body but didn’t expect Ai to be right in front of her with a smile. She felt embarrassed that anyone else would see her naked and especially a stranger who just let her use her bathroom. Risa wrapped herself in the towel as fast as she could and stared at Ai to get privacy from her.
“Thank you for letting me clean up.” Risa bowed to Ai as she bowed back.
“No problem, I have tea ready downstairs when you are ready.” Ai stepped out and closed the door behind her.

Miki woke up to the sound of the dogs howling and sat up looking for her big sister. She looked over at Riki, who was a log, and attempted to wake him up. Since they had no lights, they had to trust by the shadows, but the light was blocked by the wood pillar above them. Miki thought she saw movement from where Risa usually sleeps and was relieved by the sight.
Moments later, she woke up again to the howls and crawled over to Risa’s bed, to find no one was actually there. She kicked her brother up and curled up next to him. He was fearless during the day but at night he was just as afraid as her and tried to hold his stance protecting his sister. Then, he glanced over to see no one in Risa’s spot and began to panic.
“Nee-chan isn’t here.” Miki whispered as Riki agreed to the observation.
“Just stay calm, Risa prays for our safety, so she just might be outside.” Riki took a few steps to the door and withdrew when the howls got louder.
The two siblings decided to stay closer to each other as they anticipated Risa to come back in as soon as possible. They both closed their eyes and mumbled a prayer for their sister’s safety before snoring away in each other’s arms.

Risa got herself dressed and wrapped her dirty clothes into the towel Ai offered her and raced down the stairs where Ai had poured her a cup for each of them. Risa picked up her cup and sipped the warm tea. She let out a loud moan pleasing her host for her accomplishment. Ai looked up at the clock and lowered her cup as her smile turned into a frown.
“What happened? Why are you frowning for?” Risa put her cup down as the sunlight came peering through the window.
“Papa and mama are coming home soon, sorry for chasing you out so soon, hope we meet again.” Ai waived as Risa froze wondering what was happening; she disappeared as soon as the sun hit her.
The house had turned back to its old, moldy building but the clothes and towel were still new and she decided to bid adieu to the house before anything weird does happen. She didn’t realize that she had spent a lot of time in this house away from her younger siblings. The bean saw the path back to her house and ran as fast as she could before anyone else woke up.
She manage to make it back before the streets were lining up with cars, it was unusual for Risa to be up early, but she had the energy to run back. She sped through to get to the other side of the street and bumped into an elderly lady who was carrying her groceries.
“Gomen.” Risa bowed as she grinned at her.
“Ohayou, hayai ne~” Risa nodded.
She got back to her house and noticed the two sleeping wrapped in the same blanket. She unwrap her towel and noticed coins pouring out. The sound woke up both of them as they looked at the ground with happy expressions; Risa picked up half of the coins and left the other two to split it between themselves. The bean dropped her dirty clothes into the basket and dove into bed with her eyes closed.
