Cleaning House

Mission:

Leaving Mrs. Shizuka's house having help her put away her groceries, Kiyoshi would be stopped by the sound of Mr. Okimura struggling with something in the house next door. Kiyoshi would stop in his tracks and turn towards the old man's house, the sound wasn't like it was a struggle in a fight. No, it was something else, as if the old man was straining his entire body to do something that he probably shouldn't be doing. Just like with Mrs. Shizuka, Kiyoshi could not and would not turn a blind eye to an elder who needed assistance, and for that reason Kiyoshi would head for the old man's door and knock. It would take the old man several minutes, with more straining noises, before he would finally make it to the door and open it. Explaining himself to Mr. Okimura, Kiyoshi would learn that what he had heard out on the street was in fact the old man attempting to do some spring cleaning. Though it seemed that the man was extremely adamant that the task needed to be done, despite the fact that trying to perform the task was causing him pain and taking much longer than he hoped. After hearing that, Kiyoshi would offer to help the elderly man with the task that he was doing, and Mr. Okimura's face would light up with joy as he happily welcomed Kiyoshi into his home for him to help. It wasn't so much that the man was a hoarder, or at least it did not seem to be that way when Kiyoshi entered the house. The old man did however have several boxes packed with things that he told Kiyoshi no longer brought him joy and so he was getting rid of them. As Kiyoshi goes to pick up one of the boxes, he realizes why it was that the old man was struggling so much as even Kiyoshi could not lift the boxes. It was going to take some problem solving on Kiyoshi's part in order for him to be able to help the man like he wanted, he wondered if he might be able to move the boxes similarly to how he was able to pull the weeds from the ground for Miss Hasegawa, though alas he was unsuccessful in this endeavor. Kiyoshi began wondering if he would even be able to help the old man, when the final thought occurred to him, he could move the boxes with his puppets of that, he was sure. Bringing out Bumi and Mini-mi, Kiyoshi would use them together to lift the boxes up one at a time to move them to the curb for the trash to come pick up. He wouldn't bother unsealing Knives or either of the Wolf model puppets, as their lack of hands would serve little use in the moving of these boxes. Doing it this way would of course take some time for him to get done, only able to move one box at a time like this, but eventually he would get all the boxes out of the house and out of the way. Once he was done with that, he would help Mr. Okimura with the dusting and cleaning of the rest of his house, using his puppets to move the furniture out of the way for them to clean. By the time he was done the sun was already beginning to set and he knew he needed to report into the Administration before it got to be any later, bidding Mr. Okimura farewell, Kiyoshi would take his leave and head to report yet another mission completed.
