Exit the Theater’s Lobby and follow Hatsuho’s trail to the Ginza Odori.
At Ginza Odori you will have to do some Peanut advertising. When doing Peanut advertising, look in the direction of the Ginroku Department Store, then Advertise. There is no incorrect way to do the Peanut advertising and the decisions don’t affect anyone’s affinity so don’t stress about this too much.
After you clear the Peanut advertising segment, head to Mikazuki at the Bus Stop to find Hatsuho. This will trigger an event where you will need to talk to several Hatsuhos to advance the story.
After you clear the event you will be asked if you want to talk to Hatsuho for real.
