Intro
It seems the members of the House of Masks have started living on their own to adapt to the changing times. Hyottoko moved to the village to live by himself, and he happens to live right next door to Guest.
There's no modern washroom like the ones in the city. Every morning, when I go to the well to draw water for washing my face, I've started running into a sleepy, dazed Hyottoko. When our eyes meet, his face instantly brightens up, and it's somehow quite adorable.
