Bess and George agree to ask around the expo for a way to turn guard mode off, and then we can snoop with impunity. Nancy asks if they’ve seen any robotic cats at the expo, and apparently robo-cats are all the rage in Nancy Drew’s Japan, because Bess and George are like, “Yeah, they’re everywhere! Everyone has one!” Nancy tells them that Suki won’t let us get close to the desk, and George says that Suki must be in guard mode. Nevertheless, George and Nancy agree that it was probably some sort of trick of the light.
Where is your sense of panic?!” Also hee. George thinks that there must be a logical explanation Bess is less rational: “If we were being chased by a dinosaur, you would be too busy debating about the fossil record to run away. We can tell them everything weird we’ve seen so far, starting with the weird shadow outside our room. “I may have found a mystery,” she tells them. Bess and George confirm that it is, and Nancy muses that she ought to go down to the expo so she can ask Yumi some questions. Nancy asks if that’s Yumi, the older Shimizu sister who ditched the ryokan. We promptly get a call from Bess and George, who tell us that they have just happened to meet some girl at the technology expo, who she says she grew up at the Ryokan Hiei. Despite her extensive experience with suspicious household accidents attributed to ghosts, Nancy was still like, “Hmm, maybe I just hallucinated that.” So the next day dawns, we go to our job at the English school, then come back to the ryokan. Last night, we saw the mysterious ryokan ghost. Throw in a dead mother, and Nancy Drew is itching to get up in everyone’s business about what’s going on here.
Though we’re presumably just here for a vacation, mysterious accidents are happening around the ryokan, and everyone is acting real sketch about it. Previously on Nancy Drew: Shadow at the Water’s Edge: On her very first day in Japan, Nancy’s managed to piss off the entire ryokan she’s staying at.
