>Wow, that looks like excessive security much. Recall how much access in the building the ordinary people have.
>How long do you think it will take to go to the shrine, and come back to university?
>You honestly aren't sure. You've never entered it before. But you get the feeling you'd need a pass or an escort to get in, or at least a good story.
>Depends on which one you go to. You check your bus schedule. If you go to that one the gray-haired lady mentioned on the outskirts, it's probably a ten minute trip there on the C Route. If you go to the one that's Downtown, you'll spend likely a good 30-40 minutes either way, the two are practically opposite of each other on every route.
> Consider possibility of applying for part-time work in eateries in the area if you manage to get into university.
> Consider the feasibility of the crazier possibility of starting your own food stand or similar.
> If it is possible to visit as a guest, approach the gate.
> Otherwise, start making your way to the nearest shrine.
>Eats looks like a one-woman show, so that's right out. You're not sure about the rest, but you are certain they wouldn't pay half as well as your current job.
>You'd probably have to buy a lot of things, and you don't know if it'd pay as well as what you're doing now.
>You really don't know if they take visitors, and decide to play it safe for now.
>You return to the bus stop, and wait for the C Route bus to show up, which doesn't take too long. The trip to the Outskirts is uneventful, and you're able to squeeze a little more study time in before your stop comes up.
>You are at the Outskirts, in a recently developed area. There isn't much natural-looking flora here, just the occasional left-over tree and recently re-sodded lawn, given a sort of plastic aura about the place. The houses are all in good condition, and look a little too...new to be tasteful, to someone who grew up in the skids like yourself. There's not much activity here, nor anyone else on the streets, though you notice a woman in a house dress and mop hat at one house tending to a flower garden. To the east, you can see the forest. A ways to the north, past some empty lots, you see the strip center where Usami Investigations lies. To the South you can see a clump of commercial-looking buildings. Obvious exists are North, East, South, and West.
> The Hieda house inspection is at Noon correct? Do we need to be there for it?
>No. Miss Hieda said she will be going to the house herself.
>You wrack your memories to make sure you don't need to be there, and you're pretty sure you don't.
