>You are a little irked. Who would have known it would be so hard to find a shrine that most people don't even knows exists!?
>You are Northwest of the city; mostly west. The forest is to the south of you. You probably aren't too long of a walk from the offramp where Usami Investigations is from here.
>You have no skill in channeling, but given what you've seen, you are much less likely to write them off as shysters now...
>Make me.
>You decide to keep going east, skirting around the edge of the forest. For most of the way, the flowers are rather prominent. Then they begin to fade off. It doesn't take too long to reach the eastern edge of the island, where you encounter a long stretch of beach. It is mostly unspoiled, but you can see where bits of debris have washed up on shore from time to time. Still, the sand is clean and the area is empty. A few gulls whirl and place overhead. To the east, you see the huge, empty expanse of the Pacific Ocean, and what seems to be a few fishing boats far in the distance. To the west, a couple dozen yards away, you can where the forest begins. You're pretty sure it is against the law for people to play on this beach, but there should be no issue with just passing through. Obvious exits are North, South, and West.
