[Video; private to Nikolai Volkov]

Nikolai-san... um, do you have a few minutes?

[Video; private to Atsuro Kihara]

[Nano is visibly nervous as her face appears on the screen.]

A-are you busy right now, Atsuro-san?

Sure. What's up?

This may not be the best time to bring something like this up, but were you still looking for a job?

[doesasordered]

Ah. As a matter of fact, I was. Why?

[all_wound_up]

There's a grocery store from my hometown that appeared here earlier in the month that's looking for a manager. I don't think they want to let the demons run it by themselves like some of the other places since it's too big. They offered me the job, but I don't know anything about how to run a business.

Ah... [He actually blinks a bit, surprised. Not just from the job offer, but from the 'grocery store from my hometown that appeared here' bit too.]

Well, I do have some experience with that, but not with a retail store. It... is really from your hometown?

[all_wound_up]

Yes, I'm sure of it. All of the store's usual specials are there. Even the shark cake.

[doesasordered]

I'd ask how that could be possible, but... I wonder that a lot about this place.

video;

[all_wound_up]

I'm not really sure either. But I'd know that marketplace anywhere.

[doesasordered]

Well, there's no sense letting the demons take care of it. I'll help in whatever way I can.

[all_wound_up]

Great! Thank you so much! I'll arrange everything with the store and let them know to be expecting you. I think they'll want me to stop in every so often to make sure everything is all right, but if you can handle things from day to day, that would be such a big help.

video;

[doesasordered]

Of course. I had been looking for a job so this should be a good opportunity. [Something hopefully quiet... demons aside.]

video;

[all_wound_up]

I'm happy we could both help each other out. Can you start on Monday?

video;

[doesasordered]

Sure, that should be fine.

video;

[all_wound_up]

All right! Then I think we're all set. I won't be able to meet you there on your first day since I have school, but I can stop by afterward to see how things went. I don't think they'll mind if you make your own hours, so after that you can set up your own schedule.

[doesasordered]

Alright. I think I can handle that. Thanks for this. I hope I can run it well for you.

[all_wound_up]

I'm sure everything will work out just fine.
