16:00 PM : End of class. Kaede is rushing away - the sooner she meet Kinjens, the sooner she can try to find another job.
16:23 PM : Kaede is at the landlord adress - 42 Magnolia street. She roughly saved 7 minutes on her trip.
She inputs the code, rush the three flight of stairs. Kaede wonders. Can she flash up or down? She will have to try later.
A close door, a piece of paper taped on it.
"Miss Kinoshita, please come and see me" - signed by the caretaker, living on the first floor.
Kaede goes down, knocks. A old lady opens, glare from head to toe, then head, and grumbles.
"You're the old perv sugar baby, right? There's no justice in this world I guess."
Kaede just ignore the promiscuity accusation. No need, the landwhale - probably jealous of her youth and freshness - is set on her judgement. Best to remain silent.
"You'll have to find a new cash cow. Well, maybe not right now. His lawyer wants to see you."
The caretaker hands over a letter with the stamp of a legal office. Kooch kooch kooch, legal news are never good.
"Lady Kinoshita Kaede,
This is formal notice that Jiro Kinjens died on the twelfth of this month, and you may have interest in mister Kinjens' estate.
Please come to my office to sort out the procedure.
Ryunosuke Naruhodo, Justice agency, 14 cactus street"
Well, as bad news go, this one is acceptable - if Kaede puts aside the hope of the geezer buying her lunch tonight.
She can't help but wonder if that was the meaning of the cactus dream.
16:42 PM : Kaede made it at the lawyer's office.
17:41 PM : Kaede made it out of the lawyer's office.
The flat was willed to her, with a substantial sum of money - enough to pay the succession taxes, to the nearest cent.
No more rent to pay.
Kaede heads home, her head spinning. That is certainly one less burden on her mind.
What is happening in that dark alley? A salaryman, bland looking - is he blond or chestnut-haired? is discussing with three men in a black attire.
>"We've been looking for you, mister Watanabe"
The man closes his eyes, focus, and simply try to walk away. What is he doing? The men look dangerous!
>"That trick won't work on us. We know a lot about memetic powers - enough to shield our whole organization... Or to disrupt valuable brains that require plucking."
The salary man looks distraught. Wait a second, haven't you seen that guy near the crumble monster yesterday?
Time to reciprocate the favor.
"Hey Klutz, I'll help you for a meal!"
Rolling for Kaede. first 2 are power, last is physical
