Shizuka skipped out of the building after receiving her mission assignment. "Trim a hedge... huh. That doesn't sound so bad." She said to herself as she went and searched for the home. After almost getting lost twice, she finally found the place. "Well, this is the right address." Eyes dart back and forth for a moment before she spots it; the largest, most overgrown shrub she has ever seen. It was on the side on the house, taller than she was and taking up the entire pathway to the backyard.
There was a note on the door. All it said was 'this is it' with an arrow pointing to the bush. "Must have known I was coming." A set of shears was left learning on the side of the building. After checking to see where the base of the shrubs are, Shizuka picks the shears up and starts trimming on the edge closest to her. After a few minutes, she drops the shears and draws her sword. "Now, this might be a little faster..."
The sword is raised high into the air before being brought down on the bush. She keeps hacking away at the plant, cutting off branches, and then dragging them out of the way of the path. She makes a rather large pile out of the discarded branches before she starts on shortening the bushes. A vertical slash cuts at the top of the shrub, starting to shorten the plant. She repeats the pattern as before and adds the branches to the pile. "Now to finish trimming this thing to make it looks nice..." she mutters to herself as she sheathes the sword.
Shizuka spots the shears under the pile and reaches for them while she gets poked by all the branches in her arms and face. After spending a few more minutes of trimming and rounding the hedge, she finally starts to feel the strength leaving her arms. They had started feeling limp an hour or so ago, but now as she finishes and drops the shears, she can hardly lift her arms. "Okay, all done... mission said he would handle the disposal..." She drug herself back home and laid down on her bed. While she did not intend to go to sleep, she wanted to rest for a bit.
