"Jeez! Don't scare me like that Human!" The ghost said as I began to pinch myself.
"Yeah I'm not dreaming..." I said as I looked at the ghost.
Yep, This was real.
"Wait a minute. You can see me?" He asked as I nodded.
"Yeah, But I have a question." I said as he seemed to await my question.
"Are you the one who cursed the hotel?" I asked as he shook his head.
"My name is Ketsu, I'm a ghost that's been in this hotel for the past 10000 years." He said as I then got another question in mind.
"So do you know why the rooms are cursed?" I asked as he then shook his head.
What a useless ghost.
"So you've been in this place for 10000 years and don't know why the rooms are cursed?" I asked as he nodded.
Ketsu seemed like a weird ghost, He didn't seem to be the serious type nor the type to haunt people.
"Well ever since the hotel was built it's been cursed." He said as my eyes widened.
"Hmm..." I began wondering more about how this came to be.
"So Ketsu, do you think whatever is causing this hotel to be cursed is a ghost? or an act of someone sneaking in?" I asked as he began thinking.
"Obviously the work of a ghost." He said as he then explained.
"No human would enter the hotel everyday to make a room seem cursed while a ghost could do it in seconds." He finished explaining.
He had a good point.
"Wait whats the time?" I asked as he replied.
"6 AM." As i then realized it.
"Damn! I need to get back. I'll continue investigating later." I said as I left.
I walked back to the room as I then felt like someone is following me.
I turned around and... yep, Ketsu was following me.
"Why are you following me?" I asked as he replied.
"Because I don't have anyone that can see me except you. I'm not gonna let this chance go to waste." Great now I probably look crazy talking to him because only I can see him.
I entered the room and saw that Luna was still asleep. I then left the room and walked to the reception.
I found Emi there, this time she was awake.
"Good morning." I said smiling as she smiled back.
"Morning Haruki!" Her smile was really bright like always.
"Did you sleep well?" She asked as I nodded.
Suddenly Ketsu talked.
"Hey there's a ghost haunting this lady!" He said as I looked at him.
What?
She was haunted? How? When? Why?
"How?" I asked him as Emi seemed puzzled why I was talking to no one.
"I don't know! All I can feel is the energy of her being haunted. Some evil dormant ghost is inside her!" He said as I then got more shocked.
An evil ghost is inside Emi...
Why was there a ghost inside her?
"Hey Emi.. Uhh I'm gonna need to see the records so I can investigate." I said as she looked at me with a confused look but then sighed.
"Here you go." She gave me the key to the records room.
I walked to the records room as Ketsu kept on following me.
"Dude stop following me!" I said as he shook his head.
"No can do! You're my friend now!" Who said we were even friends?!
"We're not friends." I said as he seemed saddened at my words.
"I need to solve this so leave me alone." I said as he seemed more sad now.
I continued walking to the records room and once there, I opened the door with the key.
The room was filled with lockers, these lockers had a lot of files in them.
There were labels of dates on each locker.
I looked at the oldest file and opened it.
There I began reading them and after an hour I finally finished checking out the first locker of documents.
from what I learned before the hotel property was built this place was a graveyard.
This probably explains why ghosts haunt this place.
As I began checking the other files.
I spent hours in that room reading and reading.
After a while I found the year when it all started.
1967 That year is when the rumors of the room being cursed began.
After that I began thinking.
Why did the ghosts curse the place? I mean it's just a hotel.
I walked out of the records room looking for Ketsu.
"Oi Ghosty." I said as he appeared with an angry glare.
"My name is Ketsu." He said as I replied.
"Yeah Yeah whatever, I have a question. Why would you ghosts haunt this hotel?" I asked as he looked at me with a serious look.
"Because the manager of the hotel used to see us ghosts. He was kind and had a kind heart... But when he died back in 1967... The new manager was mean. They all turned against the manager and thus the hotel became known as Hotel Misterio because of the mysteries that we the ghosts do."
I began seeing a full picture now.
"So If I talk with the ghosts do you think I can convince them to stop?" I asked as he simply shrugged.
"I dunno." He said as I then talked with him more.
"So how about we find some ghosts first." I suggested as we began walking around.
Obviously I can't see ghosts well unlike Ketsu whose an actual Ghost.
I do wonder... how can I see him?
"Hey Ketsu... how can I see you?" I asked as he shrugged.
"I really don't know, Haven't met a guy that can see ghosts since the last manager..." He said.
While walking we found a ghost.
"There's one of the ghosts that is terrorizing the kitchen!" He said as he chased the ghost.
I followed him and soon we cornered the ghost.
"No where to go now!" I said as the ghost looked at us and grinned.
It then went through the wall.
Right... Ghosts.... can do that..
"Well It escaped." Ketsu said as I sighed.
"I guess we need to find another way to catch him.." I said as an idea came to mind.
"Wait... if that ghost terrorizes the kitchen, then we should look in the kitchen for it right?" I asked as He nodded.
We walked to the kitchen and then once we entered.
The ghost was there again.
"What do you want?! Leave me alone!" The ghost screamed as I then replied.
"No, I won't! I need you to stop your shenanigans in the kitchen!" I said as he shook his head.
What was wrong with this ghost? I wondered as I then decided to calmly ask it.
"Why are you doing this?" As it replied.
"Because she likes the food I make! I need to make her something better!" He said as I then realized his goal.
He was trying to make food for someone he cares about? I guess I'll ask.
"Want me to help?" I asked as his eyes widened.
"You? Human? You will help me? A ghost!" He said as I nodded.
I began helping the ghost around.
"We cook it this way instead of using the stove." I said putting the food in the oven.
"Ah! I see!" The ghost seemed to understand how to cook the dish now.
In the end, I helped the ghost make the dish.
"Thank you Human! I will remember this and remember you! Tell me your name." He said as I smiled.
"It's Haruki Suou." I said as he seemed to write it down.
I had figured out this ghost has a memory issue.
"Will you please stop causing problems when people use the kitchen?" I asked as he looked at me and said.
"Of course, I'll do my best young Haruki." He said as he then left with the food.
"Well that's one down, how many left?" I asked as Ketsu replied.
"Around 5 more but they'll be more difficult than this old man." he said.
I sighed as I then walked back to my room feeling tired.
Once I entered Luna wasn't there, I assume she and Emi went to train.
I jumped on the bed and slowly began falling asleep.
