A few days has passed since Zen now become Orion.

Everyday, both couple will introduce something weird to him.

The first time is a Birn, Rabbit with horn, saying it's Orion's favorite animal.

The second time is a food made by Pings, a wild Pig with wings.

"Seems like the saying of waiting until the pigs can fly will not work here." Zen thought when he first know about the Pings.

The third time, is happening right now.

"A Spider Lily?" Zen thought as both couple show the flower.

"Son, this is a thousand legs flower. Your favorite." The man, now Zen's father, said while showing the flower to him, sitting on the edge of Zen's bed.

Zen look at the flower for a moment before taking it.

Zen, try to make a smile, even though it looks a little awkward.

"Ah... Thank you, father." He said while looking down at the flower.

The man, oblivious to the awkward smile, chuckle as he pat Zen's head.

"Your welcome, sweetie. It's your favortie after all. Papa will always remember it for you." He said with a smile.

Zen only smile back at him.

"Smiling is... A pain." He thought.

The man stand up from the bed.

"Papa should go to the field now. Your mom should be already in the bakery. If you want anything, just talk to your mama with this, okay?" The man said, showing a paper with words on it.

Then he pat Zen's head before leaving.

Zen sigh. "Finally I can stop smiling. This family is weird, always smiling in every second without fail." Zen thought before he get off the bed.

This will be the first time he was alone in this place, so he needs to look around the place in detail.

He first walk to the doors in the house.

The first one he open is a door beside the one he stay at, and see another bedroom.

"This must be the couple's bedroom. Better leave before I see anything scandalous." He thought before shutting the door.

Next is a door beside the couple's bedroom, at the end of the hallway. He open it and see a wooden bathtub and a small wooden bowl.

"This is... A bathroom?" He thought as he enter the bathroom and look around.

The bathtub doesn't have a faucet and the wooden bowl is under a spout, but no handle to be seen.

"How can you bath like this?" He frown, looking at the spout before leaving the bathroom.

He then choose to open the door beside the bathroom, across his bedroom.

But...

"Huh, it's locked. I will try to open you later." He thought before moving to the open doorway.

The doorway leads to a living room and a open kitchen along with dining table in the middle.

The living room doesn't have any tv.

Hell, the whole house doesn't have any light or a light button. Only a lanterns on the ceilings.

"Isn't dangerous to have a lantern on a ceiling?" He frown while looking at the ceiling.

He turn to the living room again.

"A couch, a coffee table, a fireplace, a Bookshelf, and a side table under a window. Everything looks normal." Zen thought before he move to the kitchen.

"Everything... Seems normal. Except no fridge and no faucet. Only another door and a spout on the sink." He look at the kitchen one last time before looking at the dining table in the living room just beside the kitchen. In the middle of the two room.

"One dining table and four diming chairs. There's no shelf for the plates or glassware here?" He then look at the door in the kitchen before walking to it and open it.

Inside is a pantry. Everything– beverages, food, cleaning products and tableware is all here.

"Huh, so that's where you put the plates." He cloae the pantry door before deciding to go back to the bedroom.

"Everything seems normal, yet it's not. Why is there so many weird animals. Not to mention the faucet is just a spout and no handle. How can you shower or clean the dishes like that?" He thought while walking back to the bedroom and get on the bed before laying on it.

"... I still haven't found a clue or see any mirror in this house. Am I still me or my appearance change to that brat? The couple call me Orion, but I can't say that I am. I am Zen Belrim, and that's it." He sigh as he look at the ceiling.
