[Kaguya is making one of her rare appearances over the network today. This time, she's showing the interior of her small apartment, which is starting to look pretty cramped. Between all the decor, clothing, bonsai, and other miscellaneous things, it's clear that she needs something bigger. Which is why she's appearing on the network.

Cramped or not, she doesn't seem to look irritated or anything. As always, she's almost eerily calm.]

Good evening, fellow residents of Hinoto-Ri.

Today I have but a simple question I need answered.

How might I go about obtaining new living arrangements? As you can see, this is inadequate. Something akin to what I possessed back home would be preferable, if at all possible.

Thank you for your time.

If you move out of the government subsidized apartments, you'll be responsible for paying for your new living arrangements yourself. Unless you've got quite a sizable sum of money stashed away somewhere in that apartment that isn't currently visible, I doubt you'll be able to afford the sort of accommodations you're used to.

Video

[aeterna_filia]

I see. Thankfully, money is not the only form of currency.

Video

[terminally_clever]

What are you planning to do?

Video

[aeterna_filia]

I can be very persuasive, you know.

Video

[terminally_clever]

Hmm... actually, if you don't mind the lack of electricity, there's a rather impressively large temple in the Aquarius District you might want to have a look at. I can't imagine it would cost anything to live there, considering the fact that it isn't connected to any of the city's utilities.

Video

[aeterna_filia]

[While the idea of converting a former temple into a home is rather amusing, Kaguya has grown rather fond of these modern utilities.]

Is there any chance of having it connected?

Video

[terminally_clever]

I'm sure you could arrange for it, but again, you'd be talking about a considerable expense to have that many lights both installed and wired to the city's electrical grid.

Video

[aeterna_filia]

I will have to look into it, then. If my stay here is going to be long, I may as well be comfortable. A small expense in the long run would be worth it, no?

Video

[terminally_clever]

That's true. I recently moved into a larger house myself.

Video

[aeterna_filia]

It will be nice to actually have more space.

Video

[terminally_clever]

So, what sort of 'persuasion' do you plan to use to get your way?

Video

[aeterna_filia]

My charm, intellect, and whatever else may be required aside from shaming myself.

Video

[terminally_clever]

Charm and intellect won't exactly help the city balance its budget.

Video

[aeterna_filia]

But advice and knowledge from centuries of experience can be worth more than any coin.

Video

[terminally_clever]

That's certainly very true.

Video

[aeterna_filia]

Indeed.

While I'm not looking for any career out of giving advice, I would be willing to exchange it for more suitable living arrangements.

Video

[terminally_clever]

Hm... so you're going to try to become an adviser to the government, then?

Video

[aeterna_filia]

Perhaps, so long as I am properly compensated.

Video

[terminally_clever]

Good luck to you, then.

Video

[aeterna_filia]

Thank you.

I'll be sure to let you know how it all works out.

Video

[terminally_clever]

Please do. I've heard that temple has a rather impressive bath.

[So much better than just the hot springs.]

Video

[aeterna_filia]

Oh? My interest in it has been doubled, then.

Video

[terminally_clever]

I may be able to grease some wheels for you if you'd agree to allow me the use of it on occasion.

[Fumi also plays this game.]

Video

[aeterna_filia]

[Splendid. Kaguya approves of this.]

I could do that. If it is as good as you say, it can take the place of our hot spring visits, no?

Video

[terminally_clever]

That was my general thinking as well.

Video

[aeterna_filia]

It would be a great deal more private, I would think. If we're in agreement on this, I would be very appreciative of your assistance.

Video

[terminally_clever]

If all else fails, there are some generators sitting around the JP's building that I have no other use for at the moment.

Video

[aeterna_filia]

I suppose they would do if necessary, but I was under the impression that generators aren't very quiet.

Video

[terminally_clever]

The temple is certainly large enough that we could put them somewhere where they wouldn't make too much noise.

Video

[aeterna_filia]

That's true, I suppose. Perhaps I will see about investigating the temple tomorrow before I reach any solid decision.

Video

[terminally_clever]

That's fine, just let me know what you'll need.

Video

[aeterna_filia]

I'll be sure to do so.

[resipiscent]

You could probably ask somebody you know if they'd be willing to become roommates with you. Then, you could arrange something together to get a bigger place.

[aeterna_filia]

A reasonable idea, however I would be best on my own for now.

Also, I do not believe we've met.

[resipiscent]

I don't think so either. I'm Riku.

[aeterna_filia]

I am Kaguya Houraisan. It's a pleasure to meet you.

[resipiscent]

Likewise, miss. Am I right in guessing that you're moving because you have so much stuff?

[aeterna_filia]

That would be part of it, yes.

[resipiscent]

Oh? What else?

[aeterna_filia]

These apartments are rather small in general, and I am used to much larger accommodations. I've been here long enough that the novelty of these quaint apartments has worn off and I desire what I am used to.

[resipiscent]

Mm. I guess I understand. Like having something from home with you.

[aeterna_filia]

Yes, I suppose it would be akin to that. I would much rather have my manor from my world, but I will make do with whatever I can obtain.
