Aisa goes inside and explores the rooms, colored in Red, Yellow, or Blue. Reaching the top floor, Aisa locates the young foxes, who are actually Kitsunes, when the two are on their hind legs, who are only interested in going to Kyoto. Aisa, with some hesitation, agrees to bring the two young foxes to Kyoto, but has to raise money to get a train ticket.
