Recently, news of an unknown truth has been circulating in Inazuma City's streets and markets.
"Have you heard? Komaniya Express has been acquired."
"Komaniya Express? You mean that delivery company?"
"That's right! Moreover, I also heard that the one who spent a large sum to buy Komaniya Express is even a foreigner…"
The residents of Inazuma City had slight worries about Komaniya Express's future.
Not only were they worried about the rise in costs for sending items.
There were also many people worried that, because of the change in ownership leading to personnel changes, they would no longer be able to receive packages sent by a certain youkai girl.
That's right.
Although in Inazuma, Komaniya Express is not the only company able to deliver goods, some long-time customers persistently chose the original Komaniya Express, all because of this youkai girl.
She is the five-star delivery person, receiving full praise among Inazuma residents—
"…Kirara!"
"Yess~!"
Kirara shivered suddenly, her two tails scared straight.
Kifu flipped through the file in his hand, while looking at Kirara, nodding with satisfaction.
"So far, you have already worked at Komaniya Express for four years and three months, during which you delivered 921 large items and 3,046 small packages… not once a negative review."
"Having rich experience in international shipments, with business areas covering Mondstadt, Liyue, Sumeru, and other countries, and never having occurrences of lost or damaged goods…"
"Having obtained a Vision, possessing certain elemental techniques, able to deal with normally weak enemies… hmm… slightly lacking in combat ability…"
"Th-that—"
Hearing this, Kirara hurriedly raised her hand to explain
"I can also deal with Fatui and such! Last time they tried to steal a package, I just 'heave' and 'hoo' a couple of times and chased them away!"
"Fatui?"
Kifu was first stunned, then shook his head smiling.
"They are just worthless troublemakers, not even worth being called opponents."
"Ehh—"
Kirara let out a wailing sound.
"Don't worry, your record is perfect. An employee as excellent as you, I will not easily fire."
"Phew…"
Upon hearing Kifu's reply, Kirara let out a long sigh.
Her stiff ears and tail together relaxed, drooping softly.
Since learning that Komaniya Express would be acquired, and that the new president would fire part of the employees with poor performance, she had fallen into an inexplicable anxiety.
Although her work performance was not bad, and could even be called perfect, what if?
What if the new president dislikes her youkai identity?
What if the new president does not like keeping Komaniya Express's old employees?
What if…
During this period, she could neither eat nor sleep; even her favourite sashimi platter tasted like nothing.
Since Kirara changed from a naive new youkai to becoming a Komaniya Express delivery girl, she gradually grew to love this work that could travel everywhere.
Going to different places, meeting different people, tasting different foods…
All of this made Kirara unable to stop enjoying it.
Therefore, Kirara did not want to lose her work at Komaniya Express, especially since this was her first job after becoming a youkai.
However, fortunately, the new and old bosses seemed good and did not have the thought of firing her.
This made Kirara slightly put down her guard.
"Mm, I not only will not fire you, Kirara, I also want to give you a raise…"
After closing Kirara's file and thinking for a moment, Kifu said to her.
"Eh? A raise?!"
The cat-girl was shocked.
"That's right. Your current salary is 1,000,000 Mora per month, plus package commission, right? I plan to, on this basis, first double it…"
"Double?!"
Kirara opened her eyes wide, beginning to calculate in her mind how many gifts and delicious dishes she could buy with so much Mora.
She could not quite believe, hesitating, asking Kifu:
"Umm… Boss, why are you suddenly giving me a raise?"
"No problem."
