"Every single night when our employees want to go home. They always complain seeing ghost near the meeting room." Said our client, Fuyu Yukina.
"Are you sure that's not an illusion?" I didn't know why Naru said something like that, well might be that's because some of our case turned out just a fake one.
"No, because I've it with my own eyes…It happened when I want to picked some documents that I left behind, when I on my way to the entrance I saw some people walking around in administration. I shocked when I realized that they are glowing and wearing strange outfits. Whey murmured something but I can't hear them clearly. Suddenly Whey saw me and then I ran as fast as I could. Not only that last week when I passed the meeting room there's a woman, a beautiful woman." cold sweat running down from forehead as I listen Yukina-san story. I looked up at Naru as his face became more serious than before. And then Naru stand up and said
"Okay, I accept this case; please provide a room for our base. And is there any hotel in that area?"
"Yes, there is one in front of my company. Oh and your payment also including the hotel fee so you don't have to worry about where we are going to stay problems." With that she left the office.
"Mai, I want you to contact everyone about this case and make sure to tell them that we will get going at 9 AM."
"Yes, Boss."

March
Day 1
"Is everyone already here?" Asked Naru as he makes his way to his Van.
"Masako is not here, she said she will go there once her jobs done and Yasu said he will catch up with us once his work done." I answered Naru.
"Okay then let's go we'll arrive around 4 in the afternoon. And Mai, I need you in the Van." I couldn't believe it! Naru wanted me in the same car I meant Van as him! That Naru or Oliver Davis or Noll or Shibuya Kazuya wants ME! But what's he meant by need me? Ugh… now I know why …
"To make your Tea, right?" I grumbled with a low voice, but that narcissistic still could hear me.
"Well, its look like your brain is really working well." He mocked me. I pouted as I follow him to the Van.
~GHOST HUNT~
Just like Naru said, we arrived at 4 in the afternoon. Our client showed us around the Office and leaded us to our base.
"Mai, I want you to bring the cameras and monitors here, after that put the sound concentrating microphone in the hallway, meeting room, and administration. And don't forget to put surveillance cameras in the same please as the microphone.
Whatever you do never go around alone at night!" Naru just loved to order me around, didn't he? I groaned and turned around and start to walk out of the room.
Before I completely left the room I asked Bou-san to give me a hand.
~GHOST HUNT~
"What with that long faces Mai?" Bou-san asked me as we walked to the exit.
"Because Naru just loves to order me around…"I mumbled.
"Well you're HIS assistant, aren't you?"
"Yes I'm, but…at least he can say please. Anyway how many times do we have to do this? I mean we already do this for the second time!" I complained.
"Well, Naru-bou had twelve monitors and we've already done this Van-base game for the second round that means this is our final round." I smiled at Bou-san and said
"You right, Bou-san." 2 hours later we have finished all the tasks and finally I could sit in my chair.
"It took you long enough" Naru complained at my work.
"Of course it is! Do you know how many cameras and Monitors you have?" I almost yelled at him but Thank God I didn't.
"Mai, I only had 12 monitors, 24 sound concentrating microphone and 30 surveillance cameras." Who can he talked about it so easily? Sure I know that he is the Oliver Davis who can do anything but this is too much!
"Mai, Tea" he commanded me. I sigh
"Sure sure" I answer him lazily.
~GHOST HUNT~
5 hours later nothing was happened and now it's already , we sat quietly at our base.
"Okay, let's call it a day now. Everyone let's go back to the hotel." Said Naru as he stood up and start to walk out of the room.
"Finally I can get some sleep." Said the Miko.
"Yeah, we only sit still for more than 4 or 5 hours now! I feel my back start to killing Me." mumbled the Monk.
We walked silently to the exit. But when we almost reached the administration. I stopped and soon the others followed.
"What's wrong Mai?" Asked Bou-san as he turned his head.
"I feel its little uneasy—right there is the administration, right?" I said as I pointed at a place in front us.
"Yeah, Why?" Bou-san asked me again.
"Well... Naru really told us to placed cameras in there, right? So why we can see anything at the base but why there's so many lights over there?" my eyes never turned away from the administration. Everyone looked at me like I was a weirdo or something.
"What? What did you see Mai? Tell us!" Naru commended.
"There's many light over there, like a flashlight or something like that…" I said slowly.
"RUN! EVERYONE GO BACK TO THE BASE NOW!" just like Naru told us to do. We ran back to the base and Naru locked the door and the room started to shake.
"NAUMAKUSA MANDA BAZARADAN KAN!*" I could hear Bou-san cast his Buddhist Mantras. And then Naru said.
"Monk I want you to make a kekkai so the spirit can't get in." and then Bou-san started to chatter the spell.
"On sowahanba shuda saraba tamara sowahanba shudo kan... On tatagyato dohanbaya sowaka... On handobo dohanbaya sowaka... Onbazoro dohanbaya sowaka... On basaragini harajihattaya sowaka... On barodaya... sowaka**"
"Naru, what's wrong? Why we have to go back? Why this room started to shake?" I asked him but as always he ignored me.
"Miko, please make a charms as many as you can and then give it to everyone in this room."
"Right away." She answered him.
"Mai, go to sleep." Naru ordered me.
"What?"
"Go to sleep, and don't make me said it again! We need your dream!"
"You didn't have to yell you know…" with that I laid down the sofa not long after that I start to fall asleep.
~GHOST HUNT~
"Where am I?" I asked myself.
"Oh, that's right this is 'one of those' dream… but its look like I have to do this alone…" I sigh; I know that Gene already gone forever but I don't want to see all of this bad scene all by myself.
"Gene…" I whispered.
"Did somebody miss me?" answered a deep voice behind me. I looked around and saw Gene standing there looked at me with the same old smile he used to show me.
"Gene!" I ran to him and then hug him.
"Naru said that you already gone" I continued.
"It's just my BODY that has gone not my SPIRIT" I opened my eyes widely. He chuckled
"Now Mai, come over here!" he commended me, I nodded for an answer. I was surprised by what I saw. From that moment I know this case will be more dangerous than Urado case.
