Part 1: Welcome to the Hotel (#9ta)

The northern hallway has eight rooms numbered 101-108. All of them look like the same size.

In addition to the room number, each door has a small whiteboard, apparently for the name of the current occupant.

Mayumi Tomokomaki.

KENSHIN: ...

KAZUSUKE: Do you think we should try to talk to her?

CHINARI: She clearly wasn't in the mood, and I don’t think it will have changed already. It's best to wait until she's ready to come out on her own.

And even then, we shouldn't push it.

MAKI: I bet we can ease her out eventually.

And she ought to at least join us for lunch, so...

KENSHIN: We'll see if she does.

I hope so. It's not good to have someone unaccounted for in this kind of situation.

No doors on this wall—just a painting of... I don't think it's supposed to be anything in particular. At least, I hope not.

Part 1: Welcome to the Hotel (#9tc)

Various forms of art line the hallways. Some of them are a little too much for me, but this landscape isn't bad.

It might be the only view of the outdoors we get for a while.

Part 1: Welcome to the Hotel (#9td)

Rooms 109-118 appear to mirror the rooms on the other side of the dividing wall. And Room 110...

Kenshin Yuuen.

ITSUROU: Ready for a break, are you?

KENSHIN: No, it's not like that! I'm still here to investigate.

CHINARI: It looks like these don't lock with normal keys. Key cards, maybe?

KENSHIN: Monobear didn't give us any key cards.

ITSUROU: Yet Mayumi has already vanished into her own room. Which leads us to the conclusion that...

KENSHIN: We already have the keys?

MAKI: Or Monobear gave her the key card separately! Right?

KENSHIN: I guess it's possible. She did run off and disappear pretty quickly, though.

But I think the most obvious conclusion is...

Taking out my Electronic Student ID card, I waved it in front of the sensor on my door.

WHIRR

CLICK

KENSHIN: It's open.

CHINARI: And that solves that.

Part 1: Welcome to the Hotel (#9sa)

Some of the tables are set a bit better than others. I guess there’s no need to stain a tablecloth if you don’t have to.

Even though this hotel only has rooms for 32 people, there's quite a bit of dining space. They must hold larger banquets here.

CHINARI: We found the dining room! Don't have to worry about that anymore.

KAZUSUKE: Honestly, I'm still not hungry enough to eat.

MAKI: There's already a buffet set out, though. It's kind of hard to stand here not eating it...

KENSHIN: Well, you can go ahead if you want...

MAKI: Hmmmmm...

Part 1: Welcome to the Hotel (#9sb)

A long counter holds an array of food. All of the lids are open, but I'm too far away to read any of the little signs.

KENSHIN: How long do you think that's been sitting out?

CHINARI: I guess we could see how warm it is.

We drew a bit closer to the counter, but...

ITSUROU: They're being heated from beneath. If they're warm, it doesn't tell us a thing.

MAKI: But we could tell if they were more reheated, right? Like, is there anything with cheese? I bet I could tell by the consistency.

KAZUSUKE: Is this really that important?

KENSHIN: I... don’t think it would tell us much about our situation.

ITSUROU: I do wonder where it originated. Everything logically has to come from somewhere, or we'd have a plot hole.

Does this hotel contain a lifetime supply of food inside, or is a smaller supply delivered from time to time?

KENSHIN: ...And every door is just as much of an exit as it is an entrance, right?

CHINARI: Still, we'd probably learn more about that looking around than eating.

ITSUROU: Indeed. The portal may not even be directly connected to this room.

Sometimes convenience must be sacrificed for discreetness.

MAKI: Guess we'd better keep looking, then.

Part 1: Welcome to the Hotel (#9sc)

The kitchen is separated by a swinging door. Inside, it... looks like a kitchen. There are prepared foods and raw ingredients alike.

CHINARI: Ah, so we can cook our own meals if we want.

KAZUSUKE: Are you a good cook, Chinari?

CHINARI: No. But I do like my macaroni and cheese a certain way.

And making cookies is kind of fun.

KAZUSUKE: You can bake me cookies anytime, babe.

CHINARI: How could I ever pass up such an offer?

ITSUROU: The outside door is secured tightly, with no clear way to undo it. I doubt this will end up being our escape route.

KENSHIN: It was worth a shot.

Part 1: Welcome to the Hotel (#9ra)

KUMIKO: Thank goodness... It seems we'll be able to do our laundry while we're here.

KENSHIN: We could have still used the sinks in our rooms, but this is definitely a lot nicer, yeah.

KUMIKO: Davvero? The sinks?

KENSHIN: Well, yeah. It works better when you have detergent, of course, but...

I guess you haven't done that much traveling?

KUMIKO: N-no... I've never been outside the country, actually.

KENSHIN: Really? With all the languages you know, I thought you'd have studied some of them abroad.

KUMIKO: Immersion is supposed to be very effective. But I don't think I would be able to handle being that far from home.

Even accepting an invitation to a school with its own dorms was a tense decision for me.

KUMIKO: A-and now... I-I may never set foot in my own home again...

KUMIKO: Uuuuugh...

KENSHIN: It's okay!

We're all determined to find a way out of here.

We'll get you back home, I promise.

KUMIKO: Right! I understand!

I... I'm sorry if it sounding like I was doubting you...

KENSHIN: It's fine. Let's just do our best to find an escape route.

KUMIKO: Okay.

Part 1: Welcome to the Hotel (#9rb)

MEIDOU: There's quite a lot of space for clothes considering it's a 32-person hotel.

I suppose they're prepared for the worst.

KENSHIN: And the worst they have gotten.

MEIDOU: I don’t think we'll be troubling the workers. I haven't seen another soul yet.

KENSHIN: Well, there are some clothes on the rack even though we've only just gotten here. Maybe...?

MEIDOU: You think they belong to staff? That could be it. We'd have to examine them further to find out.

Part 1: Welcome to the Hotel (#9rc)

KAKUMI: I checked farther in. Past the drying rack are several washers—not coin-operated—and plenty of laundry supplies.

Even if Monobear doesn't refresh the stash anytime soon, we should be all right.

KENSHIN: Anything else interesting?

KAKUMI: Not really. There are no other doors. It looks like the way through the counter can be locked, but there's no key in sight. It's a fairly large room, but that doesn't mean much in a luxury hotel.

KAKUMI: ...And the cash register is empty.

KENSHIN: Sounds like a pretty thorough investigation.

Or casing for a robbery.

KENSHIN: Do you think we should assign someone laundry duty, or would it be better to take our loads in by ourselves?

KAKUMI: Certainly by ourselves. I don't want someone screwing up my laundry.

...Or poisoning it somehow.

KENSHIN: That's a good enough point...

Part 1: Welcome to the Hotel (#9rd)

HAKUSHI: Hey! How's your investigation been goin’?

KENSHIN: As far as scoping out the place, good.

As far as finding a way out... Not so much.

HAKUSHI: Yeah... Same here...

HAKUSHI: But hey! Now we know the girls can wash their clothes as much as they want!

KENSHIN: Uh... You plan to wash yours eventually, right?

HAKUSHI: I don’t think we'll be here long enough for that, man!

I can't tell if he means we'll be out in a day or something else entirely.

HAKUSHI: There's nothin’ too excitin’ here otherwise, though.

Although I have noticed there aren't any fire extinguishers 'n here. There's still one just outside, but you'd have to run in and leap over the counter if you were in a hurry to put things out.

HAKUSHI: ...That sounds pretty rad, actually.

KENSHIN: In that case, I'll leave that to you if it comes to it.

Part 1: Welcome to the Hotel (#9re)

I'm guessing that normally an attendant would stand here to take your laundry and dry cleaning and present it back to you.

There's a cash register as well as a stack of papers to specify your specific laundry needs. I don't know if the customer or the worker would be the one to fill that out.

It seems no one will be now.
