Keyword ri
Koohii Story 1 The ri is a Japanese way of measuring the area of the GROUND underneath a RICE FIELD.
Koohii Story 2 Hint: Heisig makes here a severe disservice to everyone by using a weird keyword for this character. You´ll save a lot (and I mean, a whole lot) of trouble later by giving it instead its intended meaning: House of the Parents.
