The Tea Shop with Jurei Pt 3.

Mission:

The third and final day had arrived. Joro and Jurei had their last day at the tea shop. As Joro was heading that way smelling the sweet aromas from the shop. The shop, with its charming facade and welcoming atmosphere, was his favorite retreat from the chaos of everyday life. As he pushed open the door, a soothing wave of warmth and a gentle tone enveloped him. Joro settled into a cushioned chair at a small, square table near the window, his anticipation growing as he waited for Jurei to arrive. Their shift at the tea shop didn't start for a while, so he had some time to relax and prepare for the day ahead. He sat there, idly tracing the intricate patterns on the table with his fingertips, his mind drifting to the tasks that awaited them. The gentle murmur of conversation and the clinking of teacups provided a soothing backdrop, and Joro took a moment to appreciate the peace before the bustling day began.

As the bell on the door began to ring, Joro looked up from his pattern tracing to see Jurei and Ninjiro. Stout jumped up from his seat on the floor to say hi.

"Hey! How are you this morning? It's nice to see the sun, especially after all the rain we got yesterday," he said with a fun smile, happy to see his friend. He would wait for her reply before he planned to ask her what she wanted to do today considering they had learned all the positions the day before.

As they stood there a man ran past them and out of the store. Joro turned with anticipation as the manager began to yell. "Thief! Thief! Thief! After him," pointing at the two of them. "Well, we better get going then, can't have a thief on the loose," he added with a chuckle, enjoying the feeling of the chase.

As the thief was running down the street Joro nodded to Jurei and placed his hand on her shoulder if she would allow him. He then made sure Stout and Ninjiro were touching both of them and he teleported all of them outside in the direction of the thief. With them now in the direction of the thief Joro took out a few Senbon and threw them at the thief he hoped they would hit his target. Only one of the five did piercing into the back of his hamstring. The man began to limp and in doing so, Joro knew he could teleport to him. He drew his katana and teleported to him, making sure he didn't pull anything slick. As Jurei arrived Joro asked her to please bind him, so they could take him down to the station and be dealt with according to his crimes. They would both escort him together, splitting the reward for his capture as it only seemed fair. Joro would be sad their missions were over, for the time being, it was rather bittersweet. He was sure they would have some later on though.

"It's been a pleasure, Jurei, Ninjiro. It always is. Hopefully, we'll be on some more missions soon. I'm looking forward to it," as he said that and waited for her reply he would wave goodbye. He would then turn and teleport away into thin air. He would then head home for the night. Making sure to take care of both his need for food after their day and Stout's.

"What do you want to do tomorrow, Stout? I'm thinking we either go training or spend some time along the borders. Might even pick up gate guard duty, shouldn't be too busy. Although it has been in the past when we have been there, either way, it should be fine."
