Story guide

Hachiware visits a place lined with round houses and is surprised to learn that Chiikawa lives in one of them. A nameplate showing Chiikawa's face hangs at the entrance. Hachiware asks whether saving for a house must have been hard, but Chiikawa produces a notice with a yellow border. It says they won a home campaign for a yogurt product and shows a photo of Chiikawa holding a key. As they talk, Chiikabu (the Beetle) stands in a small body behind Chiikawa. Hachiware understands that Chiikawa won the house in a prize drawing and celebrates loudly, while Chiikawa holds the real yellow key in both hands and smiles back.

Cultural and language notePrize campaigns for product buyers may award prizes to entrants by lottery. Here, the prize is exaggerated to the scale of a house.
