Seika has a lead on a guy her cousin worked with, who knows a guy, who knows somebody... and she's got the Gray Orochi breathing down her neck to do something other than party. Not that Yoritomo Yukie-sama would say anything to her, but Seika has this whole imaginary scenario in her mind in which Yukie grumbles to all her subordinates about the useless fancy baggage Watanabe sent for the winter,...and even though Seika knows that's not her, really, it still needs exorcising.

So she puts on her armor and warpaint (figuratively speaking... okay, it's lipstick and boots) and hits the street.
