"Where are we going next?" Ayumi asked. She didn''t want to stay with the man and felt morefortable with Hibiki. She had rather stayed in the previous ce rather than staying with someone who she didn''t know. Even though she knew that man might be someone she knew when she was alive, but she died now. She had be a ghost and not a human.


    "Haunted inn," Yuuki answered.


    "Haunted inn?!" They were surprised when they heard his answer.


    Yuuki felt confused as to why there was somece that was cleared with ghosts, but there was also a ce that was full of ghosts. He was wondering whether the big family or the church were that weak that they couldn''t handle all the ghosts in this city. He also thought that the temple of the olddy where he had performed in the past was useless since that temple couldn''t help his father to clear the haunted inn. He was also a bit curious about this youkai who had be the caretaker of the inn too.


    "Why are we going to this haunted inn?" Hibiki asked.


    "Hibiki." Yuuki decided to call the first name of this girl since it was more suitable. He looked at her and said, "It''s being made by my father and when the inn is being cleared by the ghost. I can stay there to enjoy the hot spring on that inn."


    Hibiki seemed interested when she heard about the hot spring.


    Ayumi who was floating on the air suddenly thought of something and said, "Why don''t you let me stay in this haunted inn?"


    "....."


    Yuuki only looked at this gyaru ghost for a while then looked at Hibiki. He was wondering whether this girl was cute enough for him to help. ''Purple-maroon hair, supple body that is good to hug, and bright expression that is able to cure my heart.'' He rubbed his chin and thought of the future possibility.


    "I - I want Ayumi to stay nearby," Hibiki said.


    "Let''s see the inn first since it won''t be toote to make a decision after we have made a trip there," Yuuki said.


    They nodded and agreed with his decision.


    The location of the haunted inn was quite far from their location and they needed an hour before they had arrived in the location. They had to admit that the air around the location was quite good and clear that made them very good. The location of this ce was on the


    "Is that the ce?" Ayumi asked while pointing her finger.


    They looked at the traditional Japanese building which was on the top of the hill. They needed to take a long stairs before they were able to enter this ce. Even though that ce was quite wide, it was very dark and the only light on the door could be seen from their location.


    "It should be," Yuuki answered.


    "What''s the name of this ce?" Hibiki asked.


    "It''s the Yuragi Inn. If I am not wrong," Yuuki answered.


    "Let''s go! Let''s check this ce!" Ayumi said. She wanted to see whether this ce could be her house in the future together with everyone.


    Yuuki looked at Ayumi and understood what this ghost was thinking. He looked at Hibiki who seemed sorry about Ayumi''s actions.


    "I am sorry to trouble you," Hibiki said.


    "No problem. Let''s see this ce first," Yuuki said.


    Hibiki nodded and said, "I''m not sure, but I can sense something there."


    Yuuki nodded and understood that Hibiki had a very sharp sixth sense. He couldn''t see a single soul around this ce since it was night already and maybe because the inn was haunted that no one decided to live in the nearby area, but it also increased the novelty of the surrounding ce since it gave him a serenity feeling. He looked at Hibiki who was looking around curiously and held her hand. "Be careful, you might fall down."


    Hibiki saw that her hand was held couldn''t help but turn red. She nodded and felt warm because of his care.


    Ayumi who was floating around couldn''t help but snorted looking at both of them but decided to not say anything. She also knew that someone who wanted to be near Hibiki needed to be able to have resistance against a ghost and Yuuki was someone perfect for that since he could st anyone with a punch. She didn''t want her friend to be alone and also wanted her to be happy.


    They talked to each other for a while until they arrived at the location of the haunted inn.


    Knock! Knock!


    Yuuki knocked on the door directly since there was nothing to fear from him. He also wanted to see who this youkai was who had be the caretaker of this haunted inn.


    "Yes!"


    They heard a sweet voiceing from inside the inn and the sound of footsteps that became louder. Then they heard a sound of wooden sandals and the next moment the door of the inn was opened.


    "Yes? Is there anything?"


    They saw a young 13-year old middle school human girl. She has a brown bob, cut short hair and amber eyes.


    "Little girl?" Yuuki raised his eyebrow. He knew that this girl was a youkai, but he was wondering why this youkai loved to keep her loli form. He wanted to see her a.d.u.l.t form actually, but he shook his head when he felt both Ayumi and Hibiki were looking at him.


    "I am not a little girl. I have my driver''s license," the girl said and showed them her driver''s license.


    Yuuki took the driver''s license and read the name of this youkai. "Chitose Nakai?"


    Chitose nodded and said with a smile, "My name is Chitose Nakai and I am the caretaker of this Yuragi Inn."
