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.
'STOP! THIEF!‘
Hanbei could hear the hark and cry of a person in trouble no matter where he was, his instincts kicked in like a bat out of hell as he would activate his supernatural walking practise and bolt in the direction of the sound, finding what appeared to be a woman with an exceedingly long neck weeping into her hands as Hanbei would arrive, asking what direction the thief went and what they looked like. The woman replied in kind, pointing in a direction with one of her somewhat regular hands as Hanbei would turn, seeing something akin to a black and white shadow darting onto a rooftop in the distance. Telling the woman to wait here and that he'd be right back Hanbei would burst off in the direction of the burgler in an attempt to chase the accursed thief on foot. Reaching the house, hanbei would jump landing on top of the roof as the thief only seemed to be a couple of houses away, looking back to see if they had been followed hanbei was able to get his first glimpse at the person who had stolen the napsack from the woman in the market place... a visage that would only serve to give the term cat burgler even more of a bad name.
''It's about time i came across some of you i reckon.''
Hanbei would say to himself as he would redouble his efforts to catch up with the menacing feline.

Black furr that seemed to cover most of its form, giving it a degree of camouflage but was betrayed by salt and pepper spots around its eyes and hands, especially the white crest that seemed to be across the center of its chest. The creature was an odd one for a bergler, it wore little in the way of clothing other than what appeared to be a cloak of some kind. Hanbei didn't get much more of a look as he gave chase as the feline jumped down into a street, though hanbei wasn't about to follow suit, the roof-tops were a much better vantage point, and as they were all the same level Hanbei now had the power to cut corners that the cat did not. Activating his medical sight technique Hanbei was able to keep tabs of the troublesome tabby as he chased from above, gaining corner by corner as he would stalk the cat to where it kept its den.
