[X] Go right, deeper into this part of the city.
------------------------
"I think we should head right." you say, "It might be useful to stay within this part of the city, considering the population density."
"Alright..." Youmu nods, glancing at the flowing traffic as you turn the corner.
"How are you holding up, by the way?" you question when there's less people around, "Doing you-know-what causes you some discomfort, does it not?"
"It does," she nods, "but it isn't unbearable yet..."
"I suppose that's good. Let me know if things become too intolerable, by the way. I wouldn't mind briefly pulling aside for a break, assuming we can be discreet about it."
"I'll keep that in mind."
As you continue, briefly stopping to cross a few roads in your path, you eventually come across what you assume to be some kind of market district, with a large plaza leading into some kind of indoor complex. A large sign above the entrance reads "Mitakihara Central Mall".
Another thing you notice is that there seems to be a section of the building that is clearly unfinished, but visible from the street. There doesn't seem to be any active work being done from what you can tell, which means it could be a possible place to set up a base of operations. Of course, if whatever labor force working on it decides to return, it might be a problem...
Nonetheless, even as a temporary location, it could still be viable, especially since it provides convenient access to a source of supplies. Therefore, you decide to keep it in mind for now and keep moving.
A short distance from the "mall" is a small canopy sitting over a few benches. A large vehicle, about three times as long as the metal carriages, soon pulls up to the canopy and opens its doors, prompting a small crowd gathered at it to funnel inside. A transport of some kind, it seems... Perhaps you should look into it later, as it would mean a good way to get around this city faster in a manner that doesn't involve flight.
As you continue down the same road, you eventually notice what appears to be an abandoned storefront of some kind at the base of one of the taller buildings. The doors and windows are boarded up, and a sign is hung in front of the main door that reads "OUT OF BUSINESS".
You allow yourself to smile a bit at this, "Hmm... promising... What do you think, Miss Konpaku?"
"Er... Just Youmu would be fine." she fidgets, "And... I dunno, it looks kinda..." she shifts nervously, "you know... ...creepy."
"...Creepy?" you arc an eyebrow.
"I-I mean.... what if it's... y-you know... haunted."
You give her an incredulous look, "You're half phantom, and you're scared about a place being haunted..."
"I'm not scared!" she denies, "J-Just being... you know... cautious... ehe..."
You level a long, skeptical stare at her, slowly reaching for the edge of the coat to at least let your third eye have a peek at whatever odd logic going on inside her head before she suddenly cuts you off.
"L-Look. Let's just keep going... There's sure to be another place, right?"
Rolling all three of your eyes, you reluctantly decide to continue, putting the abandoned storefront into your list of potential locations as you move forward. Eventually, after about thirty minutes of walking, you reach the base of an incredibly tall building. A sign above its main entrance reads "Mitakihara General Hospital". Considering what you've seen from the market district's name, you assume Mitakihara might be the name of the city, though you may need to confirm that later...
Nonetheless, you glance around, searching for potential places to set up. As you look, you swear you see a small flash of white out of the corner of your eye near an alleyway, but upon closer inspection you see nothing there. Youmu quickly points out that there's another, much cleaner vacant storefront that says "For Lease", meaning it's currently unoccupied. Unfortunately, the entire front of the property seems to be a glass window. Plus there's also the concern about somebody actually wanting to inspect and acquire the property as well. You personally aren't a fan of it, but it's an option...
Anyway, you could continue looking at this point, but you also feel you've traveled far enough. You have three options to choose from at the moment, each with their own negatives and positives.
[] Take the vacant storefront. It's not ideal, but it's right here and close to whatever this ridiculously tall hospital building is.
[] Backtrack to the abandoned storefront. Despite Youmu being... Youmu... you feel it's a promising option. It's also roughly equidistant from both major landmarks you've come across so far.
[] Backtrack to the mall and set up in the area under construction. It might not last, but while it does it would give you convenient access to supplies.
[] Keep looking, perhaps there's still somewhere better.
