She hated this.

Angrily finishing off her breakfast bar, the girl grumbled to herself as she walked along, her ponytail and scarf swishing behind her. Of course they insisted she couldn't just tackle this one solo. She'd run missions before! She'd never had any trouble! Sure, this one was a little far, but that didn't mean she couldn't handle it...

She huffed to herself, staring at the restaurant, but the mere thought of asking for help was... it was making her blush. No, not just making her blush, it was completely embarrassing! To think that they'd make her ask for help...

Yuko fidgeted where she stood, feeling the heat in her cheeks. She couldn't let anyone see how embarrassed she was. She just couldn't. She'd been here before, they'd see how embarrassed she was and... and... Ah, that's it! She just wouldn't let them see her face! No matter what else anyone thought, she wouldn't let anyone realize that she was blushing. She couldn't!

And so the short girl reached into her bag, withdrawing her mask. It wasn't an ordinary mask, of course, in the shape of the stylized fox's face. It had function both as a guard for her face and through possessing both night vision and heat vision. Right now it was going to be using neither of those.

Right now it was going to be used so no-one could tell how flustered she was.

Strapping the mask onto her head, covering her face behind it, Yuko marched right into the restaurant and stood with her arms spread wide.

"I'm going on a well-paying mission!" she declared, loudly. "So... er..."

She hesitated for a moment, then took a deep breath before pointing at the people in the area at large.

"So I'm going to let a few lucky people accompany me! It'll be easy since I'll take the lead! So... so just accept my offer and come with me or something, okay?!"

To be perfectly honest, Yuko wasn't used to asking people for help.
