Mission Spam P5 (Hyde, Rebecca) [PRIVATE] (DONE)

Things seemed to come full circle for Hyde as the penultimate one of the five missions he had been assigned to do alongside his mission partner, "Rebecca", for Mr. Okimura and his home that was in dire need of a thorough spring cleaning turned out to be just as exhausting a task as had been the first mission wherein they had to collaborate to clean up a vast amount of graffiti from the enormous stone faces of the "Hokage Rock". The only saving grace for that penultimate mission was that they did not have to search high and low for any culprits. Consequently, after finishing this spring cleaning of Mr. Okimura's house, Hyde returned to his family home in the Hyūga clan district in a truly exhausted state because he was never accustomed to a great amount of hard physical labor.

Egads...it is the next morning already...Hmm, I do not remember having the alertness and energy to drag myself to this bedroom of mine after that rather exhausting mission...so then...

Hyde mused silently as he grimaced at being woken up by the morning sun's rays blasting him right in the face with their overwhelming effulgence and inquired of his head maid, "Tsurara" who had just arrived to wake him up per her usual manner

"Say...Tsurara...were you the one who carried me to my bedroom yesterday after my return home from my missions in that exhausted state of being?"

In response, Hyde heard his head maid affirm his suspicions as true, albeit with a rather bemused countenance.

"Indeed, Master Hyde. I carried you single-handedly to this bedroom of yours since I did not wish for you to lie there at the entrance..."

Hyde was surprised to hear that since he knew his head maid was not usually inclined to exert herself physically to that extent. So, he remarked without thinking about the consequences of his words to her and with a visibly impressed look on his face.

"Oh? Well now, you have become quite the Amazon, I see...since being able to carry a full-grown adult man like myself in that state of near-total exhaustion is no easy feat...Well done, indeed."

It was then that Hyde saw his head maid's finely penciled right eyebrow twitch briefly as though in irritation but heard her voice her protest in a surprisingly calm manner despite that little demonstration of her exasperation.

"For your own sake, Master Hyde...please allow me to give you a truly friendly warning...You must never say such words to any woman...lest you wind up being admitted to the hospital due to their retribution against you for speaking so uncouthly to them..."

Hyde was surprised, to say the least, but chose not to escalate the situation any further, and instead focused his attention on inquiring about his schedule for the day. After doing so, he saw his head maid hand him the final mission scroll that contained the last of the five missions he was assigned to collaborate with Rebecca to complete successfully. Upon perusing it, he realized that it involved finding and re-acquiring a series of animals that had escaped from their containment units due to the negligence of their caretakers. So, he thanked his head maid and upon dismissing her back to her other duties, he readied himself quickly and donned his usual physician-scientist outfit. Then, he notified his support staff of his intentions for the day and headed out to meet his mission partner, Rebecca, to complete this final one of their 5-mission series.

After leaving his residence to undertake the final one of the five missions that he was assigned to do with Rebecca, Hyde purchased a cup of coffee from a local vendor since he needed it to stimulate his body and mind after suffering from that thorough state of exhaustion the previous day due to working with Rebecca to help Mr. Okimura with the spring cleaning of his enormous house.

Ah, now, that is exactly what the doctor ordered...I can feel my mental gears beginning to turn much more smoothly with this lubricant...

Hyde mused silently as he made his way over to where he presumed Rebecca was waiting for him, and sure enough, there she was doing so. It amused him to see that she too had a cup of coffee in her hand just like him. However, this time, she was the only one carrying the requisite supplies for accomplishing this last one of their five missions, namely the leashes they would need to capture the escaped animals since he had ensured he did not repeat his mistakes from the first two missions.

"Here we are at last, Ms. Rebecca, at the proverbial finish line...the last of our five collaborative missions. Here is to us finishing this one successfully as well."

Hyde spoke thus in greeting to Rebecca upon arrival with his usual convincing facade of a cordial smile on his face. Then, after collecting his thoughts, he suggested a plan of action that they could follow for this mission.

"For this mission, I suggest we split the roles for this mission so we can execute this mission more efficiently...You can be the one to catch the escape animals with those leashes in your hand while I act as the scout to find the animals for us with my Byakugan...So, what say you, Ms. Rebecca?"

Hyde nodded to Rebecca as he heard her acceptance of his plan, but then alerted her of the other downside to the plan besides the animals being unruly enough to drag her along instead of being tame enough to be led by her.

"Indeed, we shall have to take special care with the bulkier animals among the escapees so ensure that they do not escape our clutches and turn the tables on us after we re-acquire them...Also, at its current developmental level, my Byakugan does have some rather stringent limits to its scouting capacity, so I suspect we will be doing plenty of walking around the city during our search for these animals, Ms. Rebecca."

With that stated as a disclaimer, Hyde started the search for any of the escaped animals in their current area in the village by activating his Byakugan by performing the Snake hand seal so that he could locate them more easily. Upon activation, the veins in his temples bulged as the blood and chakra flowed through them to his fiery golden eyes that showed discernible pupils unlike in their default inactive state as was characteristic of any member of the Hyūga clan when deploying their Byakugan dōjutsu.

"Fortune smiles upon us, Ms. Rebecca...for we have located one of the ten escaped animals already...You will find this specimen 100 m from your present location in that alley on your right side, specifically inside a trash can."

Then, Hyde waited for Rebecca to head off to collect the escaped animal with one of the five leashes she was carrying currently. Upon her return, he led her to the next section of the village area they were in so that he could try to see if any of the 10 escaped animals were present there so that she could capture that one next. This process was repeated many times, with Hyde using his X-ray vision at 100 m away and sometimes, his 250 m zoom vision too depending on situational needs and the presence or absence of the animals there. Naturally, due to the enormity of the village, the greatly scattered locations of the escaped animals, the need to check each one for their signature collar with the Konoha symbol on it, and Rebecca only having 5 leashes with her, it took all day to locate, re-acquire, and deposit the escaped animals in the care of their keepers. However, they finished their last D-rank mission in this series successfully in the end. Then, Hyde turned to Rebecca to take his leave after they collected the proof of mission completion from the animal caretakers.

"Well, that took all day, but somehow we managed to pull off completing this five-mission series together despite the troubles and challenges we faced along the way, Ms. Rebecca. For that, you have my thanks, and if the Norns are willing, we shall meet again during future missions or situations for more interaction since it was truly a pleasure to work with you on these missions."

Saying thus, Hyde gave her a brief bow and waited for any final remarks or reactions she may have so that he could depart afterward.
