Kei got off a cab at Residential Area B. Realizing that he needed lodging first and foremost, he decided to pay the area a visit to book a room in one of the inns around. The nice waitress in the cafe recommended him to the Yamada Inn, problem is... where was it? He didn't anticipate the area to be quite big.<br/><br/>Walking around a few blocks in search for the said inn, Kei saw a couple students already headed for home. They were giggling and seemed to be having the time of their lives. It made him smile and remember his highschool years. As he kept walking in search for the inn, he saw another group of students chilling out in front of somebody's home. He caught wind of their conversation...<br/><br/>"<span style="font-style: italic"><span style="color: #FFBF00">The Iwamura High Summer Festival starts next week.</span> What will your class do?</span>"<br/>"<span style="font-style: italic">The school finally granted permission for our class to do a horror booth! I'm so excited for it!</span>"<br/>"<span style="font-style: italic">Ohh? You better be careful Mina-chan, they said the reason the school banned a horror booth was because of a ghost!</span>"<br/>"<span style="font-style: italic">Y-you're kidding right?!</span>"<br/>"<span style="font-style: italic">Apparently, <span style="color: #FFBF00">a freshman student died in a horror booth</span> a few years back. They said her spirit is drawn to...</span>"<br/><br/>Kei chuckled after passing the group.<span style="font-style: italic">Ghost stories huh? Haven't heard one for quite a long time.</span>He thought to himself.<br/><br/>Turning right at the corner of the street, the Yamada Inn came into view. Relieved that he stumbled upon the inn without much trouble, Kei quickened his pace towards it; the pack strapped to his back getting a little cumbersome to lug around. As he approached the inn, he slowed down upon seeing a pair talking to an old man in front of the inn.<br/><br/>Not wanting to disturb what looked like a serious conversation, Kei quietly slid past the people and into the inn. He was greeted warmly by the receptionist.<br/><br/>"Hi! I'd like to book a room for two weeks." he said cheerfully.<br/><br/>"Oh, I'm terribly sorry sir, I'm just a waitress at this inn, I don't handle receptions. If you would be so kind to wait, the owner will be back soon after talking to the police outside."<br/><br/>"Oh... okay. Is everything alright?" Kei asked out of curiosity.<br/><br/>The waitress then pointed over to their tv in the lobby. Playing on it now was the local news.<br/><br/>"<span style="font-style: italic">...gram for a special report. After weeks of searching, <span style="color: #FFBF00">the missing workers from Fujioka Textiles</span> in the West Gates have finally been found. Police authorities said that they were seen by students of Iwamura High unconscious in the local park. The workers were taken by the authorities to Iwamura Medical for treatment. The police are waiting for them to regain consciousness to get their statements...</span>"<br/><br/>"His son is one of those missing workers." The waitress said just in time before the owner walked in on them.<br/><br/>The waitress bowed politely and left after the owner took over the reception desk. He smiled at Kei and prepared to assist him. After their transaction, Kei was led to his room by an attendant. Taking a few minutes to unpack, he then took a quick bath, got dressed and eagerly decided that it was time to hit the town.
