[Long house] Setting 2 ~ About the mansion
That mansion
The mansion where I, my wife, and their parents live
Seen from the street, it looks like a two-story, ordinary house
However, the depth is long.
The so-called “eel bed” that straddles about three sections
However, if you go to the middle, it will spread.
It’s not straight like an eel, it’s more like a tsuchinoko
Such houses used to be taxed according to the frontage of the house.
The reason is that the frontage was narrowed to reduce the momentum.
Anyway, it’s a mansion that makes you feel the history and style.
You can see the thick beams and pillars you see in temples.
I would like to talk about the house without any ramblings.
・ Front, entrance, dirt floor
Making a so-called machiya that faces the street directly without a front yard
One side is covered with a wooden vertical lattice and is a blindfold.
The right end is a lattice door with cloudy glass embedded in it.
That is the entrance.
When you pass through the entrance, you will find a long and narrow dirt floor like a passage, which is called a street dirt floor.
The rough floor where the ball gravel is washed out continues to the back
The ceiling is low and the inside is dim
Along the dirt floor, a wooden corridor continues to the left like a veranda.
Many people can take off and put on their shoes at once.
Shoji are lined up on the other side of the corridor, and there is a tatami room.
The long dirt floor is separated by a shoji door on the way,
Beyond that, it spreads a little and goes into the kitchen as it is.
Behind it, there is a lattice door leading to the courtyard.
In a dimly lit room in the early summer sunshine in the courtyard
Only there, it shines like a door leading to another world.
・ Ocha no Ma
The first tatami room after entering the entrance is the room that welcomes guests
At the same time, a room where our family can relax in everyday life.
Between the windows facing the street
There is a space wide enough for one person to relax and sit
It seems to be a wide edge, separated by shoji doors
(It’s something you often see in so-called inns)
This is to prevent the hustle and bustle of the outside
Probably to coordinate with the outside air
After all, this house is cool in the summer but cold in the winter
Therefore, the room is finely divided by sliding doors.
The tatami room has a hearth, which is rare in this town.
This season is covered with boards,
In winter, my father-in-law often bake thin plate-shaped rice cakes there and serve customers.
Besides that, there is a long table
Usually that’s the place to get together
The usual pattern is to listen to the radio after eating.
This world doesn’t have a TV yet
By the way, I have explained to my wife about TV.
“Is it like watching a movie at home?
But don’t you get tired of watching it every day? Was the reaction.
Hmmm, I can’t explain to me about the internet in this condition
Let’s stop interfering with the technology level of this world.
In the first place, it is a society based on a technology called psychic power, which is different from electric power.
The story went awry.
By the way, the radio has an antique design.
It is placed in a room at a high place like a Kamidana
It is proud of its position as the throne of entertainment in this world.
But is it common in this world, or is it just my home?
It hits with noise … It makes a muttering voice
Please forgive me for hearing giggles and laughter.
This room is released when there is an event in the town
Neighbors take a break instead of the break room.
I said there is no TV
Home appliances similar to TVs (should it be a home psychic device?)
It looks like an old box-shaped TV, but it’s actually the opposite of a projector.
A machine that projects images from film onto a screen that looks like a monitor
The name is “Phantom Machine”.
Optical video media such as 8 mm are widespread in this world.
It looks good when it comes to optical
By quickly sliding the frame-taking image projected on the film
A very spiritual and easy-to-understand principle that the image moves like a flip book
In other words, it is a movie on an ordinary projector. I think you know, but just in case
Instead of darkening the room and preparing a screen
A machine that easily projects a film is a phantom machine,
Because it is an optical type
Although the film itself is a simple detachable box type for ease of use
The video time is only about 30 minutes due to this simple sword, quite a bit.
Moreover, although the audio is on, the audio tape must be set separately.
Moreover, if you do not set it properly, the sound will shift.
In addition, the video is a little jerky, probably because the number of frames is small.
In this way, you can see the greatness of the original weir, the magnetic medium and digital.
Still, the rattling sound of the film and the main flowing images
I don’t hate it because it has a unique taste.
Although the illusion machine is used exclusively for documentaries
There are also entertainment works for sale and rental for home use
However, video time is a bottleneck and it is not as popular as video.
Also in this world, should I say that?
Obscene works are also secretly distributed.
This house also has a camera, but it’s about the size of a handy camera.
The power is a mainspring, it’s an antique thing to wind the screw manually.
I had my wife’s childhood footage taken with this show before on this illusion machine.
Girls’ Generation’s wife was really cute
Ma-kun was also reflected in the picture when he was very young.
I can see that I have longed for my wife since this time …
·kitchen
Next to the living room, used for guest luggage storage and easy change of clothes
When you pass through the small room, you are connected to the dining room
I usually eat with my wife’s parents
From there, go through the shoji door, go out to the corridor, and go down to the dirt floor.
That is the kitchen.
A style with a kitchen in the dirt, as seen in old farmhouses.
A long stone sink reminiscent of a kitchen counter and an elementary school drinking fountain.
For a well-used gas stove and a large, rounded retro refrigerator
A large bottle opener, like a tool, is hung on the pull tab of the door.
This world, not just beer
Cider and juice bottles are also coronated, so a bottle opener is essential.
Besides, now it is only used to cool watermelons,
There is also a well with a pump in the kitchen.
·courtyard
You can get out to the courtyard from the lattice door of the kitchen
Trees are planted inside, and there is also a clothesline.
One of the courtyards is a wooden fence, and there is a wooden door there.
From there you can go out to the alley.
And two sides face the porch, where my wife’s parents’ room
And there is a guest room.
·Warehouse
There is a warehouse in the middle of the mansion
Kura is not built separately
There is a warehouse in the house.
The thick Kannon door on the front and the plaster and stones partition it.
Even if the mansion catches fire, only that is protected.
I don’t think this mansion will be burned down by a fire, though.
The reason will be explained later.
The inside of the warehouse has two layers, and there are old documents and curse tools.
And it seems that youkai-related items are stored.
Beyond the warehouse, the back half is lined with tatami rooms
Used exclusively for family business
·Upstairs
Climb the steep stairs like a ladder and go upstairs
The room facing the street is our bedroom and study
I wonder if it’s the Shoin deck, between the shoji door and the window glass
It is characteristic that there is a desk-like space where one child can hide.
I like to put my elbows here and look down on the street vaguely
And a wooden window frame that is rarely seen in the original world anymore
Its light and unique sound that rattles when opening and closing,
Immerse yourself in a nostalgic mood.
Other than that, there is a room that my wife uses as a private room.
There are many rooms on the second floor, but most of them are unused.
There are many extensions, and the corridors are curved and intricate like a maze.
In some rooms, like a storeroom, where household goods are piled up,
Some rooms are empty.
There are some places that are open for daylighting
When you open the bran, a staircase may appear, asking “Why in such a place?”
Previously, when my mother-in-law guided me through the house
The room with the old mirror stand was once called by a prostitute for a banquet held at this house.
He told me that it was a waiting room for waiting and sleeping.
I don’t have it now, but when my mother-in-law was a kid, she used to go in and out of prostitutes.
“That’s why … you shouldn’t get close to this place
I was often told by my mother. ”
With that said, my mother-in-law was giggling about what was wrong.
And … there should be no one but us on the second floor
For some reason, it feels like there are people
Or something that is not a person
From a room where no one should be, you can hear something like a secret voice
There is a squeaky floor creaking sound, as if someone is walking.
Or maybe someone on the other side of the dark corridor is staring at you.
My wife doesn’t seem to care at all whether she’s used to that.
I think I’m used to it
Still, what a curse, in front of a room,
When I see that the set is prepared, I’m sure.
Basically, I don’t feel malicious or harmful, so I don’t think it’s a problem.
Is it more like protecting this house? ??
Well, it’s an old mansion like this.
By the way, this house doesn’t make a living by making a living.
Is the business you are doing a rental venue business?
It is a job to provide a lot of tatami rooms in the mansion for banquets.
Events in the town are often held at this house
It’s rare now, but in the old days, weddings like us
It seems that it was often done in this mansion.
It is different from a restaurant because there is no dedicated chef
For a simple banquet, my mother-in-law and wife serve food
When there are a lot of people, ask a local restaurant to cook.
At the time of a big event, it seems that Mr. Itamae may be dispatched.
Speaking of whether life is possible with that
Although it is not a wealthy person for living, he is quite wealthy.
In addition, there seems to be a cursed income from the power of the shrine maiden of his wife and mother-in-law.
And I’m not sure
It seems that there are also benefits from “the other side” through the tsumari.
Apparently this house is a powerful family in the town
I’m not familiar with the history of the city
Originally, the main team in the original world
It may have been like a mansion where a daimyo stayed.
Did this become a place for a long time?
Or vice versa
In any case, it seems to be a venerable house.
Neighbors generally call this house “Oshimaya”
In the shadows, it’s called “Yokai House” or “Tsumari Goten”
