Mission Name: Festival Security: Cat Burglar
Rank: EVENT
Objective: Hunt down the Nekomata who has been stealing Ryo from the festival goers.
Location: Namahage Festival.
Reward: 10 Tickets
Mission description: Nekomata are catlike yokai who can assume the forms of humans in order to better mingle with the populace. However they are intensely kleptomaniac and will attempt to make off with Ryo in order to spend it on fine fish and other delicacies. A group of particularly crafty local strays has been taking money from festival goers both human and yokai alike. Catch one and make sure to give it a good beating to dissuade it from doing it again.
Mission details: The Nekomata thief if noticed will attempt to lead the security into an ambush comprised of its 18 siblings. While none of them are particularly good fighters they have sharp little claws and will bite and kick like crazy.
Hanbei had seen signs of the Nekomata he had dispersed some time ago here and there over the course of the event, it seemed most of them had gone back to their theiving ways, it was a sad sight, but at least now they weren't under the thumb of the boss that they were to begin with, now they were a fractured group, each developing their own bosses and territories and vying for control. It wasn't often that Hanbei felt like in doing a good deed he had only made the world around him a worse place. Plagued by guilt he would find the mission that had been hung up before on a message board to be the same as the one he had grabbed earlier, not being able to help himself he would rip it off the board and give the kami who ran the site a nod, silently telling him that he would handle it as he walked off into the crowd. The issue was not rangling up the small cat people, it was in doing it in a manner that they would stop once and for all... they needed a solution to their problem, food to eat and a place to be off the street and maybe even to live...
It wasn't going to be an easy task, but it was one that Hanbei had committed to, he had talked to the hitotsume nyudo before, but he thought it time to go to those hearty monks a second time and hope that they weren't in as bad a mood as they were before. Knocking on the door of their cafe, Hanbei was politely ushered in by a very nervous waitress. Looking to the monks they ushered the boy in and asked him to take a seat and a drink, which he did without so much as a second word or hesitation. After some merry making, the question was finally popped, one of them turned their one eye upon the boy and asked him in a booming voice why he was there...
