Touya thanked Kiri for giving him his portion and ate it. Even after finishing two he felt like he could eat many more. He had a feeling an unknown door had been opened. He never thought sweets could be this delicious. It was strange, but eating these manjuu was somehow the first time he actually felt as though he had transformed into another being.

Kiris home was an elegantly structured Japanese mansion. Perhaps because it was an ayakashi home, it was overflowing with mystery all throughout. First of all, he was unable to grasp the complete layout of the house. Since the location of the rooms, kitchen and bath would change before he realized, it seemed difficult to construct a rough idea of the layout. It was as if its structure was made of rooms and hallways that were appearing before he was even aware of it.

Thats because the direction changes according to the day and hour, in case bad things try to get in.

Akio explained. In other words, it was all sustained by Kiris spiritual energy.

Since Kiri-sama has allowed you stay here, Touya-dono, I believe once you get used to it, you wont get lost. If there is a trespasser, the room he steps into will lose all the hallways connected to it.
