Here we go.
***SIGN*** The Ghost Hotel
**[00:23] Aoi**
*Hey, have you heard*
**[00:24] Aoi**
* about a mysterious hotel*
* deep in a mazelike forest?*
**[00:29] Aoi**
*The people who built it weren't human.*
**[00:35] Aoi**
*Neither are the staff or the guests*
**[00:38] Aoi**
*at the Ghost Hotel.*
**[00:45] Nene**
Excuse me.
**[00:48] Nene**
Is anyone home?
**[00:54] Hanako**
Welcome to the Ghost Hotel!
**[00:57] Nene**
Who are you?
**[00:59] Hanako**
I'm the manager.
I assume you'd like a room for one?
**[01:03] Nene**
N-No... I just suddenly
found myself in this forest,
**[01:08] Nene**
and I can't remember anything before that.
**[01:11] Hanako**
Don't worry. That happens to everyone.
**[01:14] Nene**
Really? Everyone?
**[01:16] Hanako**
Now, please relax, unwind...
**[01:17] Nene**
I told you, I—
**[01:19] Hanako**
...and enjoy the hotel.
**[01:22] Nene**
No way...
**[01:23] Nene**
Excuse me!
**[01:24] Nene**
Is it okay if I ask you something?
**[01:26] Tsuchigomori**
Go right ahead.
What seems to be the trouble?
**[01:29] Tsuchigomori**
Would you like local sightseeing advice?
**[01:31] Tsuchigomori**
Or perhaps someone's room number?
**[01:33] Nene**
No. Actually...
**[01:35] Nene**
Could you tell me where we are?
**[01:37] Tsuchigomori**
You lost your memory?!
**[01:40] Nene**
Not all of it, but I feel like
I'm forgetting something important.
**[01:45] Tsuchigomori**
You'll have to recover
your memories on your own.
**[01:49] Tsuchigomori**
Stay here in the meantime.
**[01:51] Akane**
Okay, okay.
**[01:52] Akane**
Checking in, right?
**[01:54] Nene**
A devil?
**[01:55] Akane**
Sign here!
**[01:57] Nene**
E-Excuse me?
**[01:59] Akane**
Nothing to be afraid of—
just some routine paperwork. Come on.
**[02:02] Nene**
"Contract: The signatory shall obey
the contract holder unconditionally
**[02:06] Nene**
and secure the good will of
the party in room no. 41 for—"
**[02:09] Akane**
Oh, don't worry about the fine print!
Just sign it alre—
**[02:12] Tsuchigomori**
Knock it off.
**[02:14] Tsuchigomori**
My apologies.
**[02:16] Tsuchigomori**
Still, this isn't such a bad place.
**[02:19] Tsuchigomori**
Why don't you take a look around
while we get your room ready?
**[02:23] Nene**
Okay...
**[02:25] Nene**
*It couldn't hurt to stay one night, right?*
**[02:30] Nene**
No one's here?
**[02:36] Mitsuba**
Hey, you.
**[02:37] Nene**
A m-mummy?!
**[02:38] Mitsuba**
Please, hide me in your room! I'm on the run!
**[02:42] Nene**
On the run? From who?
**[02:44] Mitsuba**
Our psycho sadist of a chef!
***SIGN*** GRRR
**[02:46] Mitsuba**
That nutjob tried to eat *me*!
**[02:49] Nene**
*E-Eat* you?
**[02:51] Mitsuba**
Well, I can't really blame him.
I'm just too cute to resist.
**[02:56] Kou**
Hey!
**[02:57] Kou**
Where'd you go?!
**[02:59] Nene**
Excuse me?!
**[03:00] Mitsuba**
You'd better steer clear of him
when there's a full moon!
**[03:04] Mitsuba**
He'll make your arm bones into soup!
**[03:07] Kou**
Miss.
**[03:08] Kou**
Sorry. I didn't mean to startle you.
**[03:12] Kou**
I'm looking for a mummy.
**[03:13] Nene**
U-Um...
**[03:15] Kou**
That jackass ruined my best ingredients!
**[03:20] Kou**
Sorry. I guess that's not your problem.
**[03:23] Nene**
*Huh?*
**[03:24] Nene**
* He doesn't seem as scary*
* as I was led to believe.*
**[03:28] Nene**
So, what were those
special ingredients, anyway?
**[03:31] Kou**
Oh, they were hu—
**[03:32] Nene**
"Hu"?
**[03:33] Kou**
Wait, I haven't got time for this!
**[03:35] Kou**
Excuse me! I've gotta go!
**[03:41] Nene**
*What was all that about?*
**[03:42] Tsukasa**
Hey.
**[03:43] Nene**
Huh?
**[03:46] Tsukasa**
This way. I'm over here.
**[03:48] Tsukasa**
Wah!
**[03:50] Nene**
You're see-through!
**[03:52] Tsukasa**
Oh, hey! I totally am!
**[03:53] Nene**
A g-ghost?
**[03:55] Tsukasa**
Come on. Let's play a game.
**[03:57] Nene**
I d-don't have time for games right now.
**[03:59] Nene**
I mean, I don't even know where we are.
**[04:03] Tsukasa**
Oh, yeah?
**[04:04] Tsukasa**
Maybe I should tell you this hotel's secret.
**[04:08] Nene**
What secret?
**[04:09] Tsukasa**
You wanna know?
**[04:10] Nene**
Y-Yes!
**[04:12] Nene**
Anyone can see how weird this place is!
**[04:15] Tsukasa**
The truth is, this hotel...
**[04:21] Tsukasa**
See you! Bye-bye!
**[04:23] Nene**
Jeez! What's his problem?!
**[04:26] Natsuhiko**
I've been looking for you.
**[04:27] Nene**
Who is it this time?!
**[04:29] Natsuhiko**
As a bellboy, showing guests
to their rooms is my job.
**[04:34] Nene**
Oh, wow! He's hot!
**[04:36] Nene**
Thank you so much!
**[04:38] Natsuhiko**
You're a cutie.
**[04:40] Nene**
Huh?!
**[04:41] Natsuhiko**
No need to act so nervous.
**[04:44] Natsuhiko**
You do look so lovely
I could just gobble you up,
**[04:48] Natsuhiko**
but I've set my heart on someone else.
**[04:51] Nene**
Huh?
**[04:52] Natsuhiko**
One day,
**[04:55] Natsuhiko**
I'll go to the coast with her.
**[04:58] Natsuhiko**
She says she's never seen the ocean.
**[05:02] Sakura**
It's beautiful, Natsuhiko.
**[05:05] Sakura**
So this is the ocean.
**[05:09] Sakura**
I'm glad we made it here.
**[05:13] Natsuhiko**
For now, though, she's sleeping in room 309.
**[05:18] Natsuhiko**
It's been a few centuries now.
**[05:20] Nene**
A few *centuries*?!
**[05:21] Natsuhiko**
I know, right? What a sleepyhead.
**[05:23] Nene**
So, um, how did you end up working here?
**[05:29] Natsuhiko**
How? Well...
**[05:31] Natsuhiko**
You see, uh...
**[05:33] Natsuhiko**
Huh? Isn't it obvious?
**[05:36] Natsuhiko**
I mean, I'm going to the coast with...
**[05:40] Natsuhiko**
H-Huh?
**[05:41] Nene**
Um, hello?
**[05:42] Natsuhiko**
I've been looking for you.
**[05:44] Natsuhiko**
As a bellboy, showing guests
to their rooms is my job.
**[05:49] Natsuhiko**
You're a cutie.
**[05:51] Nene**
Jeez! What's wrong with this hotel?!
**[05:53] Nene**
Everyone here is a weirdo!
**[05:58] Mokke A**
Hey.
**[05:59] Nene**
Who is it now?!
**[06:00] Mokke A**
Your room's ready.
**[06:02] Mokke B**
Take your key.
**[06:04] Nene**
You came just to bring it to me?
**[06:06] Nene**
Thank you!
**[06:08] Mokke C**
Take it easy.
**[06:10] Nene**
I've just about had it.
**[06:12] Nene**
This must be it.
**[06:16] Nene**
Where's the light?
**[06:17] Nene**
I can't see anything!
**[06:23] Teru**
What?
**[06:24] Nene**
I... I was just looking for my room!
**[06:27] Teru**
Oh, a guest?
**[06:30] Teru**
Sorry if I startled you.
**[06:32] Teru**
This isn't your room.
**[06:34] Nene**
What?! But they gave me the key to it.
**[06:37] Teru**
They must have gotten mixed up.
**[06:39] Teru**
Honestly. I'm going to file a complaint.
**[06:42] Nene**
* Now that I get a good look*
* at him, he's smoking hot!*
**[06:45] Nene**
*What should I do?!*
**[06:46] Nene**
* Could this chance meeting maybe*
* lead to something more?!*
**[06:52] Teru**
They say they'll bring you
another key right away.
**[06:54] Nene**
U-Um... What brings you to this hotel?
**[06:58] Teru**
I'm looking for my little brother.
I heard I'd find him here.
**[07:03] Teru**
I'm sorry about what happened to you,
**[07:05] Teru**
but try to think of this as fate.
**[07:09] Nene**
Huh...
**[07:14] Nene**
*"Fate"?*
**[07:15] Nene**
*What is it? What did I come here for?*
**[07:21] Nene**
*Something tells me I really have to remember.*
**[07:26] Aoi**
Excuse me.
**[07:31] Nene**
You're...!
**[07:33] Aoi**
Good evening.
**[07:34] Aoi**
Would you care for some herbal tea?
**[07:40] Aoi**
Here. It'll help you relax.
**[07:44] Nene**
It smells amazing.
**[07:46] Nene**
*My stress is melting away.*
**[07:49] Nene**
*And something about this feels familiar.*
**[07:57] Nene**
*That's right! I...*
**[08:23] Nene**
Aoi?
**[08:24] Aoi**
Yes, Nene-chan. It's good to see you again.
**[08:28] Nene**
*Of course.*
**[08:30] Nene**
*I'm already...*
**[08:33] Aoi**
It'll be all right.
**[08:35] Aoi**
Rest well.
**[08:45] Hanako**
Hi, there. Are you awake now?
**[08:48] Nene**
Manager?
**[08:49] Hanako**
What did you think of my hotel?
**[08:53] Hanako**
Did you have fun?
**[08:54] Nene**
Well, it's fu...
**[08:56] Hanako**
"Fu"?
**[08:57] Nene**
It's full of weirdos!
There isn't a normal person here!
**[08:59] Nene**
I almost got tricked into
signing a weird contract!
**[09:01] Natsuhiko**
Amore!
**[09:02] Nene**
A weird hot guy kept
talking about his girlfriend!
**[09:04] Nene**
A weird ghost boy played pranks on me!
**[09:07] Nene**
It's the worst!
**[09:08] Hanako**
What?!
**[09:09] Hanako**
B-But look!
**[09:10] Hanako**
Your room has a great view of the cemetery,
**[09:13] Hanako**
we have regular rapping-sound concerts,
***SIGN*** The Baths of Hell
**[09:16] Hanako**
and our cuisine is made from
the very freshest corpse fle—
**[09:19] Nene**
That's what I mean by weird!
**[09:21] Mokke**
Don't sweat it.
**[09:21] Mokke**
Buck up.
***SIGN*** There, there...
**[09:23] Nene**
Still, though,
**[09:24] Nene**
I did like how lively this place is.
**[09:27] Mokke A**
Extend your stay.
**[09:29] Mokke B**
Stay as long as you want.
**[09:31] Nene**
Yes, I think I will.
**[09:33] Hanako**
Once again,
**[09:34] Hanako**
welcome to the Ghost Hotel!
**[09:38] Hanako**
* Somewhere beyond a dark forest*
* lies this mysterious hotel.*
**[09:43] Hanako**
*Maybe it will appear in* your *path next.*
