click for larger version Pension Adams is a large European-style hotel located at Inaka-hama. It is on a high cliff overlooking the beach. According to the employees, it is well-known for its excellent dining and the unique costumes that the employees wear: they are dresses as a ghost, a werewolf, and Frankenstein. Usagi, Ami, Rei, and Luna visit Inaka-hama in episode 020 for additional training as Sailor Senshi, and Rei books rooms for them at Pension Adams because she says it was very cheap. A young girl, Sakiko, lives there with her father, who is the hotel's proprietor. When the girls arrive, Usagi and Luna are terrified by the creepy atmosphere and employees' costumes, but Ami and Rei do not seem to be fazed. At dinner that night, a spirit terrorizes the girls by wailing and flying through the air. Even the employees are scared of the spirit, and ultimately attemt a sort of make shift exorcism. Eventually, Ami learns that Sakiko actually has strong supernatural fathers. Her father became very angry because people were skeptical of the girl's power, so he attempted to strengthen her abilities by hypnotizing her. Under hypnosis, Sakiko is able to conjure up the spirit which scared the guests. Ami interrupts a hypnosis session, but when Sakiko wakes up, the spirit is no longer under her control. It begins to attack Sakiko's father. Sakiko rushes to her father's aid, and he tells her to run. He says, "I am sorry. I knew you just wanted to live like a normal girl, but I..." she cuts him off by hugging him. The ghost rushes towards the two, and Sakiko blasts it with a huge burst of energy. Finally, the ghost disappears. Sakiko's father says, "I just wanted everyone to acknowledge that Sakiko possessed truly strong powers and though I knew that she hated her powers, I continued training her. I used the guests who happened to come to this hotel to conduct experiments." The next day, the three girls go to the beach with Sakiko and play ball in the sand. Sakiko's father looks on, and the hotel employees ask if there will ever be any more ghosts... they are scaredy-cats who can't deal with the apparitions! He smiles and says that they won't have to deal with it again... ever.
