A cool spring day passed by slowly under the grey skies as Takuma Ino walked on his daily patrol. Unlike most other jujutsu sorcerers, Ino didn't have to spend nearly all his time either protecting the citizens of Tokyo or hunting down curses. He was what most would call a 'part-timer.'

Even so, Ino had to be on alert as he patrolled the neighborhood of Shibuya, which was well known for its high curse activity. Luckily, the streets seemed to be relatively calm today. Ino's thoughts were interrupted when he heard footsteps approaching. He was relieved at first, but that relief was quick to turn to disappointment as he recognized the sound of his co-worker's shoes.

"Can't believe we don't even have a radio," Ino muttered.
