Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth - 14 - Chapter 3 Continued / Poundmate & Crazy Delivery Introduction
1Alright, with substories out of the way, it's time to finally go to Kiryu's car and head to Akane's house! But things don't go very smoothly there as the Yamai Syndicate shows up and we're forced to bail.
Alas, Tomizawa catches up and there's no escaping this confrontation. Thankfully Ichiban and Kiryu's words get through to him and he joins us in fighting the Yamai Syndicate! You're up against four level 8 enemies, which, needless to say, I was pretty overleveled for. Unlike in the demo, Yamai himself doesn't join the battle here!
After winning, we make a daring escape back to the city where Tomizawa officially joins the party at a fixed level of 8! Time to return to the hotel, but as we leave the shrine, we get accosted by an old acquaintance from Ijincho! The Kamulop-wearing man now works at the local shrine, and he's lost a lot of fortunes in the city, which he'll reward us for if we can bring them to him, something to keep in mind as we explore.
As we finally reach the hotel, Kiryu's wallet gets swiped and we have to chase the thief! You get a tutorial as this is your first chase... unless you've done the lifeguard substories before. Once the thief is caught, Tomizawa will share more information about the darker side of Hawaii, and seeing the Barracudas from our hotel room, and their handy work, only drives home his point...
As a new day begins, we need to head to Jeff's taco truck but there are opportunities to get to know Tomizawa a bit better with some chats! Some are in dangerous locations though, I tried making my way into Fuji Street, but one fight against level 16 enemies quickly tempered my desire (59:25 if you want to see that fight)!
After these talks, we finally go to Jeff's truck, and he makes it clear he's not going to cooperate with us without money. Thankfully a homeless man overhears the party talk about Chitose and points us to a service she seems to be working for!
But as it turns out, the Chitose that answers the call only shares her hair and name with the one we're looking for, but she also shares blood with our old friend Gary Buster Holmes, and as such, Chitose Buster Holmes is our first Poundmate in this game!
Since our hope to find Chitose is a bust, we do need money for Jeff, and even though we do have the required 30 bucks on hand, the party still wants to have a source of income. Fortunately, Crazy Eats is always hiring new delivery guys, and so we head to Aloha Beach to join, unlocking the Crazy Delivery minigame in the process, it's pretty fun and pays us the money we need! But we've got a few more things to do before going back to Jeff...
