Summer Area - Ryoukan Tsurugiya Inn
Suzaku helped Rayla walks towards the inn while Kali watched for any potential Shihana Officer. When they managed to enter the place, they said their goodbyes to Kali as she drove the car away from the place. After they got a better look at the place, they noticed its Eastern Styled design.
Suzaku: Wait a split of a second...are we sure that we didn't enter Spring Zone by mistake?
Rayla: There weren't any cherry trees around on our way here, so this must be the place.
Suzaku: You're right...but where's the innkeeper?
Suddenly, a woman wearing what looked like to be a church attire walked past them.
???: (Time for another stroll at night...)
Rayla: Um...Excuse me.
???: *in a bored tone* What?
Rayla: Do you know where the recepcionist is?
???: She's helping serve dinner. Too many mouths to feed.
Rayla: I see...Thanks.
???: Sure.
Without another word, the woman walks away.
Rayla: Hmmm...
Suzaku: What is it?
Rayla: I don't know how to say this...but she feels familiar.
Suzaku: Have you met her before?
Rayla: What I meant is that something about her aura feels familiar.
Suzaku: You lost me.
Rayla: It has something to do with my sensory ability...Actually...
Suzaku: Hm?
Rayla: Nevermind, I'm just rambling... (Not really...It's just that explaining to Suzaku about the existence of other worlds might be troublesome.)
Suzaku: Maybe you just really need to rest ASAP.
Suddenly, the Innkeeper arrives in a hurry.
Innkeeper: Sorry! I'm not really used to have so many people staying here...Someone decided it was a good idea to send many Autumn Quarters workers to an Inn meant for tourists...
Suzaku: But why?
Innkeeper: Because they're from Tokyo or something...They really left me in the dark about the details.
Suzaku: Look it at the good side...
Innkeeper: But I am. My mindset is that managing an inn is like the same as being on a battlefield. You have to work hard to please everyone.
Suzaku: Ah, so you're already experienced with this huh? You sure are dedicated to the cause Madam.
Innkeeper: I'm not that old yet. Just because I can manage an Inn like a veteran, doesn't mean that I'm old like one. Do you understand?
Suzaku: Right...I'm sorry.
Rayla: (She's nearing her thirties but doesn't want to admit it.) Anyway, we would like a room for two.
Innkeeper: Unfortunately, you have to share rooms with some other guests. We're kinda full as it is.
Suzaku: Well...are they girls at least?
Innkeeper: That's right. I made sure to keep people separated accordingly.
Suzaku: Nice! I'll be the one paying...do you accept credit card?
Innkeeper: Sure.
After paying the rent for the room, the Innkeeper stood in front of the corridor and bowed to them.
Chizuru: I hope you have an excellent stay.
Suzaku: We sure will.
Chizuru: Now then, would you like me to show your room first or would you like to eat at the dinning hall?
Suzaku: What's is it going to be Rayla?
Rayla: Guess I'll be needing some food to recover strenght.
Suzaku: You heard the girl, time to get stuffy!
Chizuru: Very well then, follow me.
Ryoukan Tsurugiya Inn - Dining Area
Suzaku: No kidding...This place is a full as a restaurant at noon.
Rayla: (So far, they look normal enough...Hm?)
Chizuru: Excuse me. You have company.
???: Oh? Make yourselves at home then.
Rayla: (What's with the cowboy attire? I don't think I should ask this out loud.)
Suzaku: Wow! What's with the cool cowboy motif?
Rayla: (Miss Suzaku...you're old enough to not be impressed by this...)
Cowboy?: Awesome right? It helps to show my adventurous side.
Suzaku: You probably look like a doofus for everyone else though. Must be hard trying to be cool.
Cowboy?: Oof...Well, I'm not exactly trying...
Rayla: Then what?
Cowboy?: That's...Anyway, what the fair ladies wants to eat. It's on me.
Suzaku: I think I'm up for some curry.
Rayla: (And he just escaped an embarassing conversation.) Just the basic for me.
Chizuru: Alright, I'll see if there's some left.
Suzaku and Rayla took their seats while Chizuru went for the kitchen. While Suzaku was talking with the cowbow-looking man, Rayla looked around the Dining Area, trying to see someone important looking. Soon enough, she saw a man wearing an open jacket, being able to see part of his tatoo. He also had an eye-patch.
Rayla: (Well, they say that tatoos marks the Yakuza...maybe that's him.)
Music: Majima
Without saying a word, she left her seat and headed towards the table where Majima was sitting by.
Rayla: Excuse me...Sorry for taking your time all of a sudden.
Majima?: Huh? Is it with me girlie?
Rayla: That's right. If possible...Can I ask you a question?
Majima?: Sure thing. Fire it!
Rayla: Is your name Majima?
Majima: Yep. I'm the one and only...
Majima: But who wants to know? By the way, I haven't seen you around here before?
Rayla: I just got here...My name is Ra..Err...(I shouldn't use my real name right now. Can't take any risks.) My name is Rannie. Rannie Clay.
Majima: Lil' Rannie right? Have a seat, ya have some business with me right?
Rayla: But, your table is full.
Majima: That can be fixed. Hey you guys. Go take a stroll.
Worker: But we're still eating.
Majima: And? It helps to increase appetite plus it's good to exercise. The food will taste better.
Worker: The least we want to do now is walking...we're beat.
Majima: A relaxing walk! Maybe I should bring the megaphone.
Worker: Boss...
Majima: Relaxing walk! Ta-ta! Hurry it up.
Worker: ...Fine then...
The workers sitting near Majima left the dining area. Rayla sits in front of him.
Rayla: We could've just left ourselves.
Majima: They need some toughening up. Besides, you look like you're going to fall apart yourself, being in worse shape than them.
Rayla: Eh?
Majima: I noticed that your friend over there was helping you walk. Making you move around more than necessary wouldn't be good now would it.
Rayla: (So he noticed me from the start.) You don't need to worry about me. I can take it....But since they already left, it's too late to bring them back.
Majima: Is that so? It's kinda hard to believe it when I see the signs all over the place. Did you get thrown a flight or something.
Rayla: Let's not make this about myself Majima. I'll be the one answering questions here.
Majima: Heh...I admit that you're a fierce one. Anyway, what do you want with good old me.
Rayla: I know about your identity as a member of the Tojo Clan.
Majima: Hoh? That's not something a normal civilian should know. Sure they can make assumptions based on the way I dress but you pretty much know the knows.
Rayla: What I want to ask you is ther whereabouts of the headquarters of the Shihana Clan. And if that isn't possible, tell me if you've met an important officer. Maybe even their Chairman.
Majima: That's some serious shit you're asking me about. I knew the chat was going to be serious, but it went straight up to way serious.
Rayla: Answer my question.
Majima: What makes you think I will? You might be the big one around these parts, but I'm not entirely convinced until I see how strong ya are.
Rayla: This has nothing to do with strenght.
Majima: It totally does. I do confirm that I've met those guys once, but that's about it. I've been generous by listening to your question, but I don't need to hear anything more from a weak shit. I only respect strenght, that's all that it matters for me. As you are right now, you won't be able to beat anything from me.
Rayla: ... (I can't exactly stir trouble here either...)
Majima: Well now, you didn't immidietaly attack me despite that fierce look.
Rayla: Normally I would...but I can't right now...not because I'm injured though.
Majima: In that case, take some time to relax missy. Meet me when you feel you're ready enough.
Rayla: So you're really willing to talk if I defeat you in a fight? Is that right?
Majima: Right as a right hand. Go back to your friend. Your food has arrived.
Rayla: (This guy is seeing a lot for having just one eye.)
Rayla struggles a bit to get up. As she turns her back, Majima says his farewel words.
Majima: Don't worry. This conversation is safe with me. I'll make sure to not say a word to anyone. Everyone else are under the same rules as you are. So you can stay relaxed...Miss Holy Hammer.
She looks surprised at Majima's grinning face, then gives a weak smile herself.
Rayla: (Guess it was kinda obvious huh?)
Then, after dinner, Rayla and Suzaku are guided towards their room. Their roomates weren't there yet. Rayla decided to sleep early, with Suzaku keeping watch.
Suzaku: You'll sure have a rough path ahead of yourself Miss Holy Hammer...Still, If you ever need help, just give me call.
Suzaku helped Rayla walks towards the inn while Kali watched for any potential Shihana Officer. When they managed to enter the place, they said their goodbyes to Kali as she drove the car away from the place. After they got a better look at the place, they noticed its Eastern Styled design.
