Chapter 3: Arc 1, - 3: Goose Chase
'The city of new beginnings? Am I in some sort of video game...? I've heard of something like this before... But that's literal fiction. How do I get out of here?'
Grey shadows hid the Sun, the city was surrounded by the ocean on three sides, where ships came in and out of harbours all over.
"Why is it called that?" Jotou walked alongside her new companion.
"Seriously? Everyone comes here to start their life anew or start it off. Perfect place to run away to.
The prices of living and taxes are relatively cheap, you can get your hands on almost anything due to the shipments in and out and it's far from most other cities keeping major political issues away.
The only problem I heard of before I came here was the Velatos Case, which seems to've only come up five months ago. Still, it's the best place to pick up any job and find work with no prior qualifications," Fumeko held her stomach.
Jotou eyed the people walking by with baskets and groceries, "You say that and yet you weren't qualified to become a detective..."
"I am overqualified! I'm just ahead of my time," she corrected with a pinch on Jotou's shoulder.
"Hey! OW!" Jotou slapped her hand off. She rubbed the spot, "Also, what is the 'Velatos Case'? I've never even heard of that word before!"
Fumeko pouted, rubbing her slapped hand, "Were you living under a rock all this time? How do you not know about these things?"
"I'm not from here remember!?"
