D-Rank Mission: Where's the Dessert? Ft. Akii-obachan.
Located within the midst of the Maple district a popular bakery has recently been on the decline, Grandma Aki’s Bakery is in quite the pickle. Word of mouth spreads rapidly, despite the size of the town, and the recent escapes of a notorious bandit cause the immediate need of wanted posters. Tenderly the petite stature of woman, post signs about the exterior of her shop in hopes of a strapping shinobi or kunoichi to aid in her endeavors. “Darn hooligans.” she grumbles, pacing about, fearful that her clientele will soon turn to rival shops to satisfy their needs. “This will not do!” she pauses, “Bills have to be paid and my business is at an all-time low!” Aki yells frantically, waving her arms about.
Fortunately the offers to assist come and go, yet never once were they able to catch the thief in the act; thus the elderly woman becomes far more selective of those offering services. The door to the bakery a jar and regrettably not a single suitable candidate showcased themselves. Upon arriving, would the young man be greeted with the fine scent of baking cookies and cakes a like. Icing decorations litter the counter tops and the warmth of the ovens making the shop cozy.
Adjusting at her azure yukata, Aki settles into the armchair in the corner of the room, a faint groan escapes her lips. “Is there no one who can help me catch this thief?” she asks rhetorically. Placing her hands against her brow, the woman’s gaze lowers against the floor, unsure of what the future were to hold for one of her age. Needless to say, she was nearing the age of retirement, but her passion still holds firm and to end on a low note would not settle within the old bones of hers.
