>Follow!

//Ja!

//Skipping time...

>You arrive at where Nitori lives.
>It's a pretty shabby apartment (shabby from your point of view, that is) with just enough furniture and stuff for an average life.
>It's got a kitchen, a bedroom, and a living room with a single sofa in it. The sofa is facing a bulky TV.

>"It's actually slightly below average, but that's good enough for me." Nitori says.
>You take off your shoes before entering, and then plop down on the couch.
>Everything here are clean and pristine. Well, everything except the TV, which looks to have not been used for a while. You also notice a spider web on one corner of the ceiling.

>"You should take a rest. I'm going to take a bath..." Nitori tells you, before heading into the bathroom.

>"Just don't break anything!" Nitori jokes from inside the bathroom.
>You attempt to mess with the TV, but the remote seems to be very unresponsive. The buttons on the TV itself works just fine, though.

>After scrolling through several channels on the TV, you stumble upon a news report saying something about a wanted criminal.

>You decide to watch the news report.

>"A manhunt has begun for the leader of the Yorigami Sukeban, who as of now is known only by the reporting name of Accountant 155. The Gensokyo Police Force has so far been unable to gain any information on the elusive mob boss..."
>The scene cuts to a police officer being interviewed. "The only thing we know about Accountant 155 at the moment is that she's a lady. The GPF is offering a reward for any information that can help identify her, and thus lead to her arrest..."
>Scene cuts back to the news reporter. "In the meantime, the GPF has issued a warning for all citizens of Gensokyo to avoid encounters with the Sukeban as much as possible..."

>Accountant 155?
>Mutter: "What a weird name... But if she's making the news, I guess she kicked up some real trouble."
>Keep watching, see if anything else interesting comes up.

>10 minutes later...
>"Sorry to keep you waiting." Nitori says as she emerges, already dressed, from the bathroom. "So, did I miss anything?"

//Actually, "Accountant 155" is just a placeholder name the police gave to the Sukeban leader, since nobody knows what her real name is (or even seen her). Mentioned just in case you didn't know the context.

>"And I'm guessing that she won't be easy to catch." Nitori comments. "At least they're trying, though."
>The Kappa then gestures at the bathroom.
>"Your turn? 10 years without a proper bath must suck for you."

>It has been 10 years since you last had a proper bath, and it feels good to finally have one.
>You emerge from the bathroom, wrapped in a towel, and sees Nitori holding out a set of spare clothes.
>"I figured that your usual clothes need some washing, so why don't you wear this for the time being?" Nitori suggests.

>You head back into the bathroom to get changed. The clothes are a tiny bit smaller than your usual clothes, but still fits nicely...

>ITEM OBTAINED: Spare clothes

>There's a washing machine right outside the bathroom, and next to it is two baskets. You put your dirty clothes in the one that has Nitori's work clothes.
>You put on the spare clothes, and then show yourself to Nitori.
>"You now look as average as everyone else~" Nitori tells you.

>"Like I've said, Gensokyo's idea of common sense differs from the rest of the world." Nitori says. "Combine that with legal civilian ownership of guns and magic wands...you get the idea..."

//Second Amendment, yo! Except Gensokyo is a Japan-esque society, so...
