In they go. It's a little scary to be in a country where they don't speak the language, but they're resourceful girls and they'll make it work.

Is there a librarian? They'd love to find a librarian.

They can find a librarian! The front desk itself is empty, but the person who would otherwise be there is easy to spot helping an old man find a book they're looking for.

Well that's very nice to see. They'll wait out of the way by the front desk until the librarian is properly done helping the old man. When the librarian returns, Sable says, "Hello. Do you speak English?"

"Some. Do you need help?"

Her accent is a bit stronger than the barista's, but she speaks slowly enough to make that not prohibitive.

"I do, thank you. I need to look up a particular store in a phone book."

"Do you know the Kanji for it, or just the name?"

She shakes her head regretfully. "Just the name. I think I can pronounce it mostly correctly, and I know the Roman transliteration, but that's all."

"That makes it harder."

The librarian gets out a large reference book and flips it open.

"What was it called?"

"Urahara. Sorry for the trouble."

"Let's see, not 心Ura. Maybe 裏Ura... ペンキ屋 Urahaku Penki-Ya? Or 浦Ura, with 浦原商店Urahara Shōten?"

She pauses a moment to think.

"Do you know if it is an art store or a candy shop you're looking for?"

"Candy shop. Other things are sold than candy, but I know for certain they sell candy, and have never once heard of them selling art supplies."

"Then I think you want 浦原商店Urahara Shōten. Poor dear, you’re on the wrong side of town."

She gets a tourist map from the front desk, then marks it with a pair of pens and brings the map over to Sable.

"You're at the red, and you want to get to the green, Karakura-Mitsumiya 8-ban 6-gō. Follow the main road until you get to Mitsumiya, then..."

She squints.

"Then the second left, first right."

"Thank you so very much." She smiles gratefully at the librarian. "I think I'll head that way now. Best to hurry if I want to get there before dark."

"I'm glad. Good luck!"

The librarian will get started on a bit of the re-shelving then, until the next person needs help.

While Sable and her headmates go back outside and start following the directions they've been provided. They've got a decent walk ahead of them. They pass the time people-watching, trying to pick up distinctions in body language they might not be familiar with, and contemplating how they'll approach Urahara himself.

<First question, are we open about coming from another world?>

Neo's against it, on the basis of being a dangerous secret.

<But what if he can tell?>, Hailey counters. <We have no way to know if that's detectable, and if anyone in this world can detect it, it's Kisuke Urahara. If we try to conceal it and he can tell, that damages trust early-on — though he'd probably understand. On top of that, why is a transfemme plural system on the other side of the planet if not from being isekaied? We'd be replacing a true mystery with a false one, and we don't know anyone better to get us initially situated in this world than him.>

She gives the other girls a mental headshake.

<Next question, do we tell him about our limited scraps of metaknowledge?>

<Urahara is more likely to cope with it than anyone else we know of off-hand, and as far as we recall he is more-reliably on the side of Good than our other options. Further, how do we explain knowing to go find him without that? It would take an increasingly complicated set of lies. What about initial presentation?>

<Probably we don't want to reveal the secrets in public. Ask for him, ask to speak in private once we get him, reference there being more weirdness than we feel comfortable talking about in public?>

Neo shrugs. It's tolerable. Sable can wing it if all else fails.

And so they keep walking and watching their surroundings.

It’s a beautiful day! Most of the kids are at school, and the adults at work, but there are still some people on the streets, and the sky has puffy clouds occasionally offering shade.

After a bit of a hike, they can arrive at the location indicated on their map. It’s an unassuming building on a side street, and the sign is in Japanese, but the kanji on it matches the phone book at the library. 

This looks like where they meant to be, it looks loosely like they remember the store looking like in the anime, so they'll head inside. Sable switches in for first impressions and such.

“ いらっしゃいませWelcome!!"

Manning the shop is a young boy, probably in middle school or late high school, with red hair. His greeting is flat and unenthusiastic, but he does uncross his legs and stand up. 

She smiles. That looks like Jinta. She doesn't remember the girl's name, which is a pity, but that's what she gets for getting isekaied to a show she hasn't watched in a couple years. "Hello! Do you speak English?"
