At the moment though, he was finding himself rather lost, but not in physical location. Rather he was discovering that even though he was ready to put whatever effort he had to in order to do what he'd decided to, he didn't know how to do it. Sure, it had sounded simple enough when he had been coming up with the idea. But now that he was walking the streets, he was having some trouble actually implementing his plan.
Finding one girl even in the same ward that he was in would take some doing... and he couldn't know if she was even in Nerima. As things stood, that Kuonji girl could be anywhere in Japan, and he wouldn't know it. There were plenty of cities where she could be at that very moment, plying her family trade, or just going to school. Yet to travel to places like Osaka, Kagoshima or Sapporo wouldn't help, since he'd have to go to every city to search thoroughly, and even then he couldn't be sure that she wouldn't move from a city that he still had to check to one where he'd already been.
Besides, all that would take a lot of work, and he didn't want to have to go through it if he didn't have to. So, for once, actual efficiency and his laziness agreed on the fact that he couldn't go around like he did with the training journey. Doing so would take years, and too much hardship to actually help him.
He wasn't about to give up though. With things standing the way that they did, he had many reasons to need that girl's presence. For one thing, the idea of having an okonomiyaki cook around during his golden years was a good one. Having his family name continue would only work if he had a girl to give him grandchildren of his blood. But most of all, having his son married as a teenager would show his wife that the boy was 'manly', and would hopefully keep that damned sword in its sheathe. Fortunately, she likely wouldn't come for a really long time, giving him a period when he could get that girl where he needed her to be.
However, he was still left with the problem of finding out where she was. Just walking the streets wouldn't help, as all he was getting was sore feet. What he needed was a plan that would allow him to get her to come to him. To do so, he needed to make her know where he was, and that she was supposed to come to him. Then he could just present her to his son, who would marry the girl, and making everything okay.
As he looked around for some sort of hint as to what he should do, he saw something that gave him the idea that he should:
