Gekkoukan Middle School, Classroom 2-2
"Okay class, your papers about the different non-urban places are due by the resumption of classes" I heard the teacher said as I started to pack my things ready to go back to the Middle Schoolers' dorm
I am Ken Amada, 13 years old and a project was just assigned to our class. We are to identify the different tourist destinations of nearby non-urban places.
"Ken what was the place you were assigned again?" My classmate asked me as I turned my heads towards him
"Inaba" I answered
"Wow! You had it rough!" another one commented
"Yeah, I heard it was rumored to have those serial killings last year" a girl commented
"but I heard the criminal, who admitted to the crime, was already imprisoned' another girl said
"Be careful out there Ken, you can never be too careful" the first one who talked to me, said
"Yeah, I will. Thanks for the concern guys" I said to the group as I went outside the classroom
My social skills greatly improved since the ordeal last 2010
"During the year 2007, I was strolling at night with my mother, when a terrible even took place that took my mother's life. I swore revenge to the person who I believed to have killed my beloved mother.
Two years later, I met the person who supposedly killed my mother and I decided to kill him on the death anniversary of my mother, but as fate would have it, he protected me, as a way of atoning his sin, he died in my stead.
His name was Shinjiro Aragaki, I then learned that his weapon went berserk and was unable to control it, at the expense of my mother's life. Now I am not living in revenge but rather I continue to live for the sake of my new found friends, who still keep tabs on me even as they pursue their different goals in life.
Aside from my improved social skills, believe it or not, I hit a majorly incredible growth spurt, from the puny size of 140 cm, I grew up to 160 cm.

Inaba Train Station
After two days of reserving the whole Golden Week at the place where most tourists of Inaba reside in and confirming my set of questionnaires to my teacher. I finally arrived at the subjected place. Now to find Amagi Inn
"Excuse me, Do you know where the Amagi Inn is?" I asked a man, with short black (?) hair, wearing a gray button up shirt. If the detective animes are any indication, I'd say this man is a police detective
"Are you talking to me kid?" I was about to retort at the mention of his kid remark, but then I remembered he doesn't know me, as he pointed to himself
"Y-yes sir" I stuttered
"Haven't seen your face around here, where are your parents?" the man asked me
"I don't know where my father is, but my mother is already dead" I replied in a sad tone as I looked at the ground
"S-sorry kid, look why don't I just bring you there as apology" the man offered
"No, it's okay sir, you didn't know, I just want to know the directions to Amagi Inn" I politely refused
"It's okay since I'm on break now. I actually see my daughter in you kid" he wouldn't budge
"Okay" I reluctantly agreed, ignoring the frequent warnings my older friends said to me on not talking to strangers, well I do have a gut feeling that he is a police detective after all.
He then motioned me to his car, wait is that really his car?
Well, might as well go inside, I can simply defend myself when the time comes.
"Say Kid, what is your name?" the man asks "I'm Ryotaro Dojima, a police detective" he introduced himself
"Ken Amada Dojima-keiji-san" I replied respectfully
He then started the engine of the car and started driving
I made sure to pay attention to places I'm passing by, so that I won't get lost
"Dojima-san will do, Amada-kun"
"Hai, Dojima-san"
"Anyway Amada-kun, what brings you here to Inaba during Golden Week?" the detective asked me
"Well, our teacher in our school asked us what are the different tourist spots 'out in the sticks', as my classmate commented, was and I was assigned to Inaba" I replied honestly
"Wow, do teachers really do that to middle school students today?" the detective asked to himself
"It is not uncommon in our school, Dojima-san, every year a certain teacher is assigned to assign students unique tasks, and this time our teacher was assigned" I said
"Oh I see, so you'll be here until the Golden Week ends?" he asks
"Not exactly, I'll go back to Iwatodai by Saturday to finalize my report" I answered
"Well then, here we are. I present you the Amagi Inn, Inaba's pride!" He shamelessly promotes their beloved inn
"This inn is now owned by Shihna Amagi and Akio Amagi, the male being a descendant of the founder of the inn, Tsunayoshi Amagi" he did a little history lesson for me
"Well then, I need to go back to my duties. I'll be seeing you somewhere!" he called out to me as he went inside his car, or was it his car. I never did ask the question. Oh well time to head to the receptionist.

Room?, Amagi Inn
Thanks to my affiliation to the Kirijo group, I was able to rent one of the expensive rooms in the inn, in advance, I might add, It had a shower room. I know it's bad to use my connections like that, but the Kirijo group's current head, Mitsuru Kirijo, said to me that If I needed anything, I'll just use her name and it will be given to me, under the reasoning of 'stealing my childhood'.
You see when my mother died, Shinjiro-san's persona went berserk, It was her who actually lead the expedition, she felt that she should atone for her sin, albeit indirectly, against me one way or another, and one of that is me going back to normal life and the other is gaining what I need through her.
Of course I don't plan to abuse this, I am planning to repay the Kirijo group's kindness one way or another, after all, even if I try, my decisions in the past can never be forgotten
"Well I'll take a shower first" I said to no one as I removed my shirt.
After drying myself from that relaxing shower, I put on my long pants and a sleeveless button-up shirt, which I left unbuttoned.
"Now to try to work on some drills" I said to myself as I brought out a large case. I had already delivered most of my things here, I also made sure that my spear was also delivered here. I am part of the school's Spear club and we practice soujutsu.
Then I got out my 'spear' that was actually a long black pole and started my drills. After all practice makes perfect.
"Whew!" I said once again to myself as I let myself out of my room and bought a beverage, still carrying my spear
Once I finished drinking my beverage, I returned to my room, to rest and then start my paper.
"Now where are those questionnaires" I asked out loud as I rummaged through my belongings inside the room. When I was facing the TV, someone pushed me, I immediately grabbed whatever I could grab, but my luck seems to have run out because what I grabbed was my spear then I lost my balacne, instead of bumping really hard to the TV, I went right through it and fell.
