What a routine life many people live; get up, go to school/work, come home and repeat for the same drabble. Sure, some can find something that takes them away from the daily grind, but...what about those who aren't so fortunate in the matter? This is what would have bothered 2nd year university student, Keizo Nishimuraya had he actually used this routine life style as a way to adapt to his life as a university student much quicker and easier. Leaving home to study in becoming a culinary artist wasn't necessarily the easiest things he did in his life, but he realized it had to be done lest he wish to pursue his dream. Having lived in Kanakura Town for most of his life, Keizo soon found himself moving off to Ota where he would take up residence in an apartment close to the university in which he studied and things would eventually pan out from there. He had to admit, the monotony of it all could get to anyone his age, but he liked how it allowed him to relax and adjust to things while he got his life in order.

...Of course, this was before he met Sun-Sun, a beautiful and mysterious young woman who suddenly (and literally) arrived on his doorstep unconscious. Keizo being thrown out of his zone of routine, nearly panicked when he saw this but, tried to keep a little bit of his cool to carry the young woman inside and give her a place to stay. Sun-Sun herself was, as mentioned before, quite pretty having a slender figure and long, flowing olive-green hair. She was donned in a school uniform that was color schemed as green and white, and while Keizo used this appearance to assume that she was in high school, Sun-Sun insisted that she was much older and that the attire choice was not her own. This, of course, confused the college student, but he merely took her word for it. That being said, Keizo had come to notice that Sun Sun herself was rather haughty and had a mature demeanor to her. On the days he was away from home, he often wondered who she really was or where it is she came from. This was only day 2 of them living together so perhaps now would be a good time to get some answers?

That could be a plan, for now, Keizo was nearing his apartment, having just finished up another day in class. The day was like any other, outside his apartment, which was only due to having kept Sun-Sun's existence a secret from everyone other than himself. Although he was sure telling a few people he had a pretty girl living with him wouldn't do much harm, he at least wanted to know a little more about her before he went shooting off at the mouth about her living with him. The thought did give rise to a shiver in his spine as he realized he could be harboring a criminal in his home and not know it. Well...all the more reason to ask questions and receive answers from his guest.

"I'm home, Sun-Sun." Keizo announced as he opened the locked door to his apartment and found himself greeted to the sounds of the television going in the living room ahead just past the kitchen. Keizo had told Sun-Sun of how the television works the other day, knowing that his absence from the house would leave her extremely bored. The odd thing about this, however, was the she had no idea what television was or how it functioned. In fact, Keizo vaugely remembered her showing some fear of it when he first turned it on (Sun-Sun, of course, played this off).

"Oh, you're back." Sun-Sun remarked, turning her lavendar eyes to fixate on the college student as he took off his shoes and headed into the living room, placing his bag near the kitchen's entrance. With his things concerning class seperated from his person, Keizo flopped into the chair adjacent to the couch Sun-Sun sat in, watching as she seemed to gaze at the television and the anime it was showing to her. Silence began to overwhelm the area, the green haired woman seeming to make no move in speaking about anything else, besides her greeting to him.

"Sooo..." Keizo began, trailing off as he patted his legs a bit and readjusted his rectangular glasses, "How was your day, anything interesting happen while I was away?"

"Aside from this...television, nothing has happened all day. It's a miracle you showed me how to work this thing, otherwise, I would have gone mad from boredom." Sun-Sun replied, seeming to express disdain toward there being little else to do. She couldn't honestly blame her for it though, but there was still the computer and Super Famicom in his room...so all hope wasn't totally lost here.

"Ah...yeah, sorry about that. I'll show you how to use the computer and the game system in a minute." Keizo said, reminding himself that this was the perfect opportunity to ask Sun-Sun about a certain...something. "Say...Sun-Sun, do you mind if I ask you something?" He began, Sun-Sun looking to him as she gave the student her attention. "Where did you come from? I noticed somethings about you were...kinda off when we first met, you even don't know about television...even my grandparents know about that stuff while you look as young as me and...well, you get the idea." He pauses for a moment, Sun-Sun using his moment of silence to speak once again.

"You want to know where I come from?" She echoed, Keizo looking up and giving her a nod.

"It would be nice to know, yeah."
