There was a large chamber which seemed to be the living room. The inside was really like a cave but lit by lamps giving off bright yellow light. Their fire kept the inside warm, though it was mostly due to the large fireplace at the back.
"Don't worry about the smoke. Haha, there is chimney which leads outside."
"Outside of this cave?"
"Yes."
'So then, won't we run out of oxygen, where's the air coming from?' I asked myself, looking around. That man wouldn't understand what oxygen was anyway.
Other than him, there also lived an old woman and a young woman who had half of her face covered.
"Oh my, who are these guests?" The old woman stood up from her mat. She was very short but had a straight back. Wearing red blouse and a white petticoat to hold her skirt, her and the young woman were dressed the same.
We introduced ourselves as humble travellers but she was quick to notice that I was pretty high ranked for a young man.
