![Steal the Famous Fudge Recipe [job~solo] Empty](https://2img.net/i/empty.gif)
Her first official job since the run in with that Kasha... And it was what Mai Silverheart, newly apart of the guild 'Savage Skull,' believed was a pretty noble job. Key word being believed. While the client didn't outright say it, sensing that the girl wasn't as fiendish as some of her... Other guildmates, he still did want the stealing of his rival's fudge recipe done by her. So he made it out to be a noble quest, and made the rival out to look like the villain here.
"Oh please! He stole my amazing fudge recipe, and I implore you to retrieve it! He'll be away for an hour and a half, so please get it done before he gets back. He'll accuse you of theft if he sees you taking what isn't his, just so he can pawn it off as being his own."
Mai was recalling the words of her client thouroughly. She still had no idea that her guild was a dark guild. The whole title was weird and gave off a sort of edgy vibe, but it wasn't exactly "dark" to Mai. So, when someone enlists their help, she expects it to be simply a job that she would normally take, a simple legal or neutral job that would either earn her some money, hone her skills as a mage, or just prove to society that she's a general nice person. This job fit the first and last categories, as she believef she was simply retrieving his recipe for him, and that was a noble cause in her book.
So now Mai was walking down the street towards a fudge factory. She was going to allow the nodeppō to do all of the work for her, while she sampled free fudge on a great tour. It was a great plan with no chance of failure, obviously. All she had to do was get in, summon her yōkai, let it scavange around until it found a special recipe for some fudge, Mai had to sample some fudge - the most crucial part of the plan - and then they'd leave there before the owner got back! Easy as pie... Or rather, easy as fudge.
Laughing at her own horrible excuse for a pun, Mai walked into the factory, and looked around to see that it wasn't anything like she'd expected it to be. That being said, she never actually saw a factory before, but she thought it would be some horrible sweat shop where people slave away all day, with their lives being miserable and never getting sufficient pay or nourishment. But that was aside the point, as she joined up with some of another tourist group, pretending to have been there the entire time. However, she silently pulled out one of her dolls, and performed a summon. Mai thankfully summoned the right one, as she wasn't looking at the doll, and just did it on instinct.
The small crow-spitting squirrel looked up at its master, then gave a nod to what she believed was her orders. The yōkai flew up to nearly the ceiling, being discreet so the factory didn't get shut down for having a bat problem or something, and began to fly directly towards the area marked "recipe room, employees only." Conviniently, an employee was walking right into it just as the squirell appeared there, so it was easy for it to get inside. It was not all that special of a room, however, because there was only 2 files of recipes. It could have been placed in literally any other office, but instead the contractors decided to waste money and build an entire room dedicated to the not so grand amount of recipes that the place had. The squirrel flipped through both files, but then decided it was easiest to just take both whole files to Mai, whom was currently doing her part in trying out a nutty peanut butter fudge combination, which pleasured her taste buds.
So, the squirrel yōkai did just that - it took both files to its master, which beckoned the young mage to have to instantly leave the factory. While it would normally be super suspicious, no one seemed to notice the purple haired girl in a kimono with a demon squirrel that, of both of which neither were originally there, leaving the most successful fudge factory in the Peace Village. So, that wad it, Mai leafed through both files and found the recipe in question, then left the rest by the door. She was no theif of course (at least she didn't think she was), so she went back to her client and reported the mission successful.
