NEW WIDOW BOARDING HOUSE: BACK ROOM FOR RENT

One day, when a vacancy opened up at the boarding house, an ostentatious move began. An elderly man arrived in a luxury car and directed the movers as fine items—luxurious bedding, a paulownia wood wardrobe, and other furniture—were hauled in. The new boarder turned out to be Ayamaro, the legitimate heir of the former noble Ura Komichi family. Perhaps due to his aristocratic upbringing, he just couldn’t quite match everyone else’s pace.
