Reading

とびら
  • Kyoko
    (Tokyo accent, female)
  • Kenichi
    (Tokyo accent, male)

Explanation

Out of the front door jumps 飛び Ra (とびら). They call him 飛び Ra because he's always flying (飛び) out the front door like that. Every morning 飛び Ra bursts forth from the front door to soak up the sun. He is the Egyptian sun god, after all.
