章 2019: Old Noodle Shop

On our way to the restaurant, Kaoru-san continued to act like a host and a guide. Every street and road the car passed through, she would give some trivia about it.

For example, there's a bookstore well-known to be hidden from the eyes of the public that's releasing new books a week before the other large distributors. It's also a place where one can find some rare out-of-publication books. In short, Kaoru-san described it to be a secluded holy land for book lovers.

She didn't know its exact location as well but she pointed out that it should be within that particular area. We also saw some obvious geeks and nerdy individuals roaming the place.

In the future, I should try bringing Aya, Kana, Rae, Rumi, or Hifumi to look for it. I'm sure any one of them will be thrilled even if we end up not finding it in the end.

Aside from the bookstore, there's a salon that seemed to cater to a lot of celebrities -- mostly female idols and actresses.
