People in Neon seem to have an inexplicable obsession with entranceways. It seems that every habitable house—ranging from luxurious multi-level villas worth tens of millions with views of Observing the Sea and Facing the River to alternative cheap digs like Nyamu-chin's current place, which works out to a mere 700 yen a day in rent—must have a dedicated space to take off and put on shoes, otherwise the property would sit neglected like a haunted house.
However, since this was just a cheap room, the entryway was naturally the super-cramped variety that could barely fit a single person standing. On top of that, Nyamu-chin was theoretically a beauty blogger, so various pairs of shoes were piled together as haphazardly as rocks on a beach. It was only natural that Mutsumi had to take massive strides, wading through it all like she was crossing a mountain range, just to barely reach the living room.
"Pardon the intrusion... there's no heater."
