In Lost Judgment, your first task for The Bar with a Bite school story is to speak with Amasawa at the Mystery Research Club (MRC). Exhaust all the dialog options then make your way to the Girl’s Bite in the southeastern part of the map. You’ll have to pay a 2,000 Y cover charge to enter. Once inside you’ll play a minigame where you form a sentence that fits the situation. Do so quickly before time runs out to improve your friendship with the bartender. In order to have a chance to speak with Emily about the Professor, you’ll need to become a regular by getting friendly with the other bartenders. To improve your friendship with each bartender, succeed at the Cocktail Talks and play darts! Special skills like Barfly, Boozehound and Borderline Alcoholic raise your drunkenness limit, which increases how long you can stay in the bar. This is important because once you’re drunk, you’ll be asked to leave and will have to wait until your tolerance level goes down.
