Did this work at last? Man, it’s hard to make this strange gizmo work. There’s nothing like this in Kei or in Kou.
Huh. I’ve never thought I would be around here a complete year, but soon it’ll be my anniversary. I came to this strange new world in the Fifth Month, last year, 2008? I never asked but 2008 of what? Reign of these deities? Adjusting

[She throws her arms up in frustration, looking shelter inside the kitchen, slamming the door shut behind her. When she turned, oh surprise, another unexpected guest.
She was feeling snappier than unusual.]
And who the hell are you? Why are you eating my food?

Er... Hi to you, too. What do you mean, 'who am I'? It's me, Rokuta! And I live here.

[She asks after calming her worn nerves. The Taiho had strained her emotions with his obstinate arrogance.]
You live here, huh? Funny that. I don't even know who you are.

Forgot me again, huh... [Sighs] I'm the Taiho of En, Enki. Also known as Rokuta.

[Her expression changed immediately, eyes widened in shock. Another Kirin? Inside her household? Unlike with Keiki, she had nothing but praise to the En lords. She bows her head immediately, looking to excuse her behavior.]
I'm sorry, En Taiho! I-I didn't know!

Uhh... No need for that, Youko. But why are you...? You don't know who I am but you're familiar with the En Taiho?

Where were you born, then, Youshi?

Have you been in the City for long time, En Taiho? You should live in a place with better category than this one.

Ah... I've been here for a month and a half, so I guess that's a little while. [He sighs and shrugs helplessly.] I would If I could but.... er, this is all we get.
So, uh... Youshi, tell me a little about yourself. [Trying to figure out just what's different and what isn't.] Do you live in Kou alone?

No, I... When my father took me out of Kei, the youma attacked us. He was killed with my uncles, my papers were lost in the attack and I had to stay illegally.
I was picked on the countryside by someone who gave me shelter all these years.

Hmm... That's quite the story. But I wonder if... Who're you stay with, then?

I was picked by a gentle woman and her son. He's a couple of years older than me.
