Following my complete obsession with the refrigerator, I headed straight to my room, got into bed, and waited for the sun to rise.
I began by thinking about the typical human's morning routine, which includes eating breakfast and brushing their teeth, because I did not want to make any mistakes.
"I know where the toothbrushes are and where the kitchen is."
I remembered where things were because of my nighttime strolls.
Then I headed straight for the bathroom to get the toothbrush. I took the brush I liked the best out of the four because I could not tell which one belonged to me. After washing my face, I made my way towards the kitchen to get breakfast.
"Rika, pass me that."
"Here"
I heard some voices when I headed towards the kitchen. I considered going to the seat and staying there without striking up a conversation because of the language barrier.
As soon as I walked into the kitchen, everyone stopped talking and turned to face me. For a brief moment, I wondered if I had done something wrong, but I quickly collected myself and sat down in the seat ahead of me.
Their expression gave off the impression that they were puzzled, but instead of worrying about them, I concentrated on the food that was on the table. There was a lot of food on the table, but I could only identify the bread, rice, and fish.
I observed that they were using two sticks to eat the rice that was in a bowl.
Wait sticks? Don't tell me that just as they change their language, so do their eating habits. They used to eat with spoons and fork, and last time they used hands.
"Here"
The elderly woman handed me some rice in the bowl, and I took it from her hands. As I was unsure of how to eat with these sticks, I looked to the younger woman sitting next to me in an attempt to deduce some advice from the way she held them.
After noticing how she held the sticks, I tried it myself and succeeded.
"Tatsu"
I heard the older woman say something just as I was going to try eating the rice with the sticks.
"...This time, Izumi, I am going to let you off, but the next time, I will definitely call the police." He said with a commanding tone.
Is he speaking to me? Nope.
I ignored him and attempted to eat the rice with the stick, but I could not hold it.
"You have something more to say, correct?"
"Izumi, how did you get those injuries?"
That male human said in a crude manner while glancing in my direction.
Even though I can not understand what he is saying, I feel like he is speaking to me. Should I nod in response?
"Umm, is that all?"
Just as I was thinking about how to answer that older woman said something.
"I only punched him, which he obviously deserved. I was not the one who gave him those injuries; he was like that when he got home yesterday."
"You still punched him, and don't forget how frightening you looked and how scary you were yesterday. You even sacred Rika."
"Y-yes"
"Sigh, I'm sorry, I was not mad at you because you took the money, but because you stole it instead of asking. I don't want you to make the same mistakes I did."
"Hmm"
Why are these guys talking so much? Let me focus on picking up the rice from the bowl. This is frustrating; I am trying my hardest but it always slips from the stick.
My attention was diverted from my surroundings as I tried to figure out how to eat the rice.
Wait, how about I put the bowl close to my mouth and then push it with the—.
"Izumi? Izumi?"
"Hey Izumi, mom's calling you."
While sitting at the table, the younger woman gave me a light kick in the leg.
I looked at her direction it looked like she was pointing towards the direction of older woman. Then I turned to face the older woman, who had a worried expression on her face.
"Are you okay? You haven't taken even a single bite."
"Hmm"
"Are you sure? Want me to take you to the doctor?"
"Hmm"
"Ok"
"You worry too much about those minor injuries." The man said, casting a glance towards me.
"Hmph! Unlike you and your scary-looking face, I have a heart and worry about my children."
"I worry about them as well, and my face isn't that scary."
"It is"
"Rika, it is not right?"
"Just a little"
"Sigh, I think I should leave now."
He left the room with a depressed expression on his face.
"I think we upset him."
"Yeah"
"I think I should go to work too."
I struggled through and finished the bowl of rice before heading out of the kitchen. I noticed the older man and woman had left the house, leaving only me and the younger woman. Furthermore, I observed that this human went by the name Izumi.
After eating breakfast, all I did was return to my room and consider my options for the next step.
Since I could now control my body, the next step was to learn the language so that I could communicate. As usual, I considered obeserving them until I began to understand what they were saying.
I got out of bed and began looking for the younger woman.
"There was a demonic incident in—"
When I opened the door and entered the room after hearing some voices coming from outside, I saw that the younger woman was watching TV while seated on the sofa.
"According to the reports, the demon took control of a middle-aged man—"
This was the same object, which I mistook for something else due to its different structure. Since there was no on/off button on the TV, my first thought was how did she turn it on. I was eager to find out more details about this new TV.
