Except she won't. If you'll recall, she hates us. She wants us dead. Getting beaten up by Marisa isn't likely to improve her disposition, and there's not enough time that's passed to let Ichirin work her magic on her. Whether the spider youkai is Yamame or not, she won't help us. I'd lay good odds on her trying to finish the job if she sees us again, and would only undermine what little progress Ichirin may have made. To say nothing of taking more time off our death clock.
However, we should see the cameraman. If nothing else, as a professional courtesy. If he can get us in to see Keine, that'd be excellent. If he can't, then that leaves us with option three. The Grand Academy of Val Razua. Keine may not be there atm, but surely she can't be the only historical expert in the city, though she may be the best. And even if that avenue isn't an option, there's still the faith/magic side we can attack from.
However, even this option is only viable, in my opinion, if we can find a fast ship. If normal flight takes a week, then we're not much better off that way. I think, after we see the cameraman, if that doesn't pan out, then we check out the docks, and see if we can find this worlds' equivilent of Han Solo.
