"I can't believe he didn't even blink when I screamed beside him... it was almost inside his ear!" Nino walked furiously around the room remembering last night's events. "Was he asleep?... Or is he deaf?"
He looked around the room decorated in soft yellow and orange shades searching for something to hit. Then he frowned with fury and made the door of the oak wardrobe close with a loud bang. "And his reaction to the lights?... What was he thinking?... Did he believe he was hunting for a green ... and ENOURMOUS firefly?" he snorted infuriated. "As soon as he returns I'll try something different. Let's see if he can maintain his cool then."

Ohno strolled in the small village situated at the bottom of the hill enjoying the views and the sunny weather. Last night, in spite of the noises and the strange events, he had been able to rest completely, restoring his depleted energies. That morning, he had woken up in a very good mood though he was really hungry. After he had taken a shower and had gotten dressed, he had decided to go to the near village to have breakfast and to buy the things he needed to live in the old house.
"Is he the new owner of the Haunted Mansion, mom?" a little child asked his mother when he passed in front of the post office. The woman ordered the boy to shut up in a whisper, smiled ashamed at Ohno and quickly left, dragging her son behind her.
At that moment he noticed that the village's people seemed to be observing him with barely contained curiosity. However, when he looked at them, they hurriedly averted their eyes. He shrugged his shoulders and entered in the village's little grocer's shop.
"Good morning," he greeted the shop assistant as he entered the shop. While Ohno searched for the things he wanted to buy, the woman behind the counter observed him unable to hide her interest. After spending several minutes pondering if he should buy some candles or not, Ohno went to the counter.
"E-Excuse me, are you the new owner of the old house on the top of the hill?" she stammered.
"Yes, I arrived last night," he smiled at her putting his shopping on the wooden counter.
"And... eh... have you noticed anything strange there?" the woman looked at him with uncertainty and began to empty the basket.
"Huh?"
"Perhaps nobody has warned you about it yet," she said looking around furtively, "but that house is haunted! An evil ghost lives there and chases away anybody who dares to enter the mansion!" she sighed dramatically. "Everyone who has tried to live in the house has finally ended up running away. Some of them endured it for a long time, but eventually they fled telling horrific stories about disturbing noises, screams, strange lights, things that fall on their own..."
The woman feigned a shudder and waited expectantly for Ohno's reaction. When he didn't react to her words, she resumed her story after a few seconds of hesitation. "It has been this way since long ago. My grandfather told me once that, when he was young, he and his friends decided to sleep one night in the house, as a test of courage, you know how it is. That night, they were suddenly awakened by a loud scream and then... the pieces of furniture began to move on their own!. They escaped hurriedly and promised to never return again to that cursed house."
"Don't worry, I don't get scared easily," he nonchalantly assured her putting his shopping in some paper bags and paying the bill.
The woman looked at him with suspicion, "You don't believe me, do you? Well, don't say I didn't warn you!" she snorted outraged. Then, she turned around and entered the shop's back room. Ohno blinked owlishly, surprised by the woman's vehement reaction "I haven't said anything about not believing her, have I?" he thought pouting a bit, "I have only declared that I don't get scared easily." He slowly set off towards the manor mumbling about people who don't listen and jump hastily to conclusions.
~~
Nino had thought up some tricks while he was waiting for the recalcitrant intruder's return. A bit bored of waiting, he looked though the window and saw the young man crossing the fence's gate carrying two paper bags.
"He has returned at last!" he smiled evilly with anticipation, "I'm sure he has been adequately informed by the villagers about the manor's haunted state already. I hope this new information makes him stop searching for air's currents or fireflies!"
The entrance's door opened and the young man entered carrying a pair of paper bags with food and some essential items. "Now it's my chance!" Nino thought watching the intruder going towards the kitchen. Just when he was in the middle of the corridor, the ghost made all the corridor's paintings fall noisily. "Let's get a bit more physical!" he raised the corners of his mouth in an expression of malevolence and carefully observed the intruder's reaction.
Nino blinked once... twice... and even rubbed his eyes unable to believe what he was seeing. The young man dodged the nearest painting and calmly looked how the other paintings crashed to the floor. "Wha- WHAAAAAAT!!" Nino spluttered outraged.
"Isn't that a bit dangerous?" the young man asked aloud as if he was talking to himself. After that, he dodged the rest of the paintings, entered the kitchen and left the bags on the table with a sigh of relief.
"Hmmmm.... hello?" the intruder hesitantly asked looking around as if he was searching for someone. "In the village, I have been told that the house is haunted..."
"Now he talks alone?... So he's not only deaf, but crazy too?" Nino made fun of the young man watching him fidgeting.
"I think we have begun on the wrong way. Let's try again... Good morning, my name is Ohno Satoshi and I have inherited this house from my great-grandfather. Pleased to meet you," the intruder introduced himself politely.
"Eh? Is he talking to ME!?" the little ghost was incredibly surprised. This was the first time that one of the intruders had acknowledged his existence - besides fleeing scared from the house - and this one had even introduced himself. "He is definitely crazy... it's the first time I see someone introducing himself to a ghost as if he was his new house-mate!"
"Mmmmm..." the young man seemed to hesitate a bit in front of the ghost's null reaction. "I only wanted to tell you that from now on, I'm going to live here so I hope we can get along," he smiled shyly.
"Cute smile..." Nino thought charmed. Then he realised, astonished, his own words and shook his head to clear it. "Did I just say that?... No, I probably imagined it. Anyway, if he thinks that I'm going to let him live in MY house so easily, he's greatly mistaken!" the ghost frowned getting angrier by the time. He decided that next time he wouldn't be so kind with the intruder and left the kitchen throwing a few bottles onto the floor to make clear his point.
"It seems that he hasn't liked the news," Ohno sighed a bit disappointed and began to pick the bottles.
