1st hour : urban legend
December 27th..
"So, in the end you join us.." Mery kept taunt me saying like that while i cant angry at all especially when she wears that pinky cute jacket with new style hair, she cut her long hair and made it brown with hair dye.. A style that looks like rei kurosawa in fatal frame 3, though her attitude not as adult as rei, i don't want to praise her though but even a fool man will sure say she is cute, " you will cry if I don't join you my Lady, unlike me, you can't speak Japan language right ?.. And when I decide to go for the Trip, why only both of us participate? Where's the other and our dear sister?".. Mery looked confused then said " I had sent you email, but see a fool face of yours make sure you don't read it".. Sister can't join us though the idea visit this mountain area was from her, she and her family going to korea for holiday, but the ticket already bought and can't be return to the travel agent".. Yawning because the cold air in the plane, I replied her " that is why the
trip is free for us, I envy our sister, she has too much money".. We already changes the plane two times, this is the third and after this we will step the land of japan for the first time, we don't have any tour guide, but we know our next destination after we arrive to airport, Hanayuki hotel, but before talk about that, I prefer sleep.. There are 2 hour left to doing nothing in the plane before we arrive to japan..
"gold, What is mean by hanayuki?" that was the first question Mery throw to me after we arrive to the hotel," it means snow flower, maybe that is why the hotel symbol is orchid engulfed with snow, just like the picture at the entrance.. but that is nonsense, there is no orchid could survive in winter right?" hearing what I talked Mery countered me with smile " it can.. If you believe.." whatever.. I though.. When we see the building, it can't be called hotel at all, more likely mansion in my eyes, but that make sense considering this place only for those who like nature and culture, its hard to me to explain what kind of building is this, just two words, large.. And.. For some point, scary.. an old voice surprised us suddenly "welcome, both of you surely mr. Golden and miss. Mery, please come in, ah.. Sorry for the rude, my name is Wanihiko Oda,nice to meet you" mery is freezing, can't be helped though her japan language is worst, but she could understand, her weak point just a fact that
she couldn't speak perfectly, "nice to meet you too" I impaled.." its a big mansion, I mean.. Hotel.. But why there is too silent here? Where are the other?.. Mery see me with lazy emotion and said " I already told you that during today until next some days this hotel would being rent out by sister for us, just don't sleep when someone talk to you.. " .."thanks to big sister then".. I am yawning again.. "May I take your things ?".. "Of course.. Thanks.. Oda-dono.. " he smiled, and said " i am not samurai young boy, call me oda-san is all right".. I'm smiled too.. I see.. " then we go in.. But before I step the floor, I see something flutter shiningly.. The color is red, like blood, but shine brightly.. Less than one second and that thing is gone, looks like it just my imagination, or maybe I already tired.. Our room is quite big, its divided in two by huge long tatami as a wall, the door are slide one.. very traditional.. Mery stared at me.. "what ??.. I asked.. She
said; "don't try to do some foolish hentai thing or I will kick your butt until you back to your father.. I am freezing hearing that, she think I am that kind of guy ??.. T_T.. " we already preparing the dinner, both of you may take a bath first, warm water is ready, the woman and man bath room and toilet are separated so don't worry, just relax and enjoy this mountainous place".. After say that oda-san gone away.. We had nice dinner that night, I just sitting in the room, what kind of trip is this, see a mountain in winter time like this.. I have no idea what is sister think about, mery break my thought, " gold, you don't tell me yet why suddenly you want to join this trip? ".. I stared at her, softly reply, " how about you?.. I think you already realize this trip will become so boring back then ", surprising me she smiled, " I never visit japan yet, though I want go to tokyo, no wonder sister give the ticket free for us, i think the ticket and travel cost surely cheap, who want to visit this place, seeing a
mountain in winter like this?? ".. I laughed..
"hey, you don't answer me yet? How about your reason ? ".. "do you know?.. I am starting answer her, " this mutsu province have so many mystery and urban legend about spirited away, this north eastern area of japan is believed by the people as a gate of hell, I am sure you see many of straw dolls tied to a tree when we walk into the hotel, I mean.. This traditional mansion ".. When I said that, mery looked worry.." are that thing some kind of voodo?.. I am starting to regret why i don't want to refuse when sister give me the ticket".. I am laughed again.. Said " i don't know, maybe yes, but they usually use that to prevent illness and drive a ghost away.., there is urban legend too in this Aomori prefecture, a legend tell about the story of sugisawa village that vanished from the map due to a gruesome massacre, fatal frame 2 was born from that urban legend,".. She replied "looks like I can guess your true reason now, you fool, that game is only fantasy.. by the way gold, do you think oda-san act so strange?.. He smiled at you back then".. I have my long yawning when mery seriously stared at me.. "don't worry, I am not a homo".. "that's not what I mean".. I am laughing when she upset hearing my answer, she looked cute, really.. Especially when she is upset,. " when that happen?.. " I try to calm her.. "when we just want to step in, you see the trees in garden, don't you remember? ".. I don't answer her, Well, actually I don't really see the trees, what I see is the red thing that fluttering, "what are you laugh about?".. mery looked upset again.. "nothing".. Just thinking that red fluttering thing was crimson butterfly made me want to laugh, " I must sleep, see you tomorrow ".., "sweet dream".. I replied, mery gone to her room.. Me too.. Have to sleep, its really tired today.. Not even pass 5 minutes, I already falling to my dream..
And what i didn't know is.. Oda-san are standing in front of my room.. He is smiling..
