In Terra, she is a hunter and a bad woman.

"I know, but weren't we the ones who defeated them? I don't have any impression of this woman... Is she someone new?"

"do not know."

The muttering sound continued to be heard, and on the side of Angel, Texas's tail was straightened at this time.

She shrank her body almost reflexively, her brain thinking frantically.

How did she get here?

Are you here to find me?

What should I say to her when I meet her?

Long time no see? Um...how have you been lately?

I feel a little silly...

Texas was in palpable disarray.

But one thing she was sure of.

I don't want to meet him for the time being.

But unfortunately, the opposite happened.

Maria didn't notice her, but the emperor beside her spoke openly.

"I'm the one who speaks here... What's going on?"

"It's you?"

Maria looked at the talking penguin in front of her with a confused look on her face.

She approached the other party step by step, and none of the Penguin Logistics employees around her wanted to stop her.

After all, the boss is a monster that can be resurrected infinitely. Even if he is beaten into a pulp, no one knows where he will come out next time.

Over time, everyone stopped worrying about his safety.

"...Are you the leader here?"

Coming in front of the penguin, Maria regained her composure.

Although she is a talking penguin, Maria has gradually adapted to this world.

Although there are beast-like people everywhere, but... most of them are rational, and such lives are not on her hunting list.

She wanted to kill those crazy guys.

"I'm not a leader, I'm just a boss at best."

The penguin waved his hand, then picked up a bottle of wine from the side, poured two glasses of wine, and handed them over.

"This is good stuff, would you like some?"

"……Thanks."

Maria thanked him politely and took the drink.

After taking a sip, Maria lowered her head and looked at the other person.

"I heard from my friend that you have a good commission... I want to come and take a look."

"Commission? Oh, you mean work?" The emperor didn't care about the depressing atmosphere when Maria just arrived. Instead, he started to communicate with the other party enthusiastically.

"I do have a position here that needs one more person... I don't know where you heard about it, but do you know what this job actually involves?"

"Running errands for someone, huh?"

Maria in the old days did not understand the concept of logistics, but after Xingxiong's explanation, she roughly understood that this should be a job of running errands.

She didn't resist it.

"That's just one aspect of the job... We need people with all-around skills!"

The emperor shook his head and spoke while tasting the wine.

"Boxing? I'm good at that."

Maria nodded seriously.

She seemed to think that simply saying it was meaningless, so after thinking for a while, she drank all the wine in the glass in one breath, and then slid her fingers along the wall of the glass.

While everyone was confused, she pinched the wall of the cup with her index finger and thumb and applied gentle force.

Snapped.

A crisp sound was heard, and a smooth crack appeared in front of everyone.

The crack is smooth and sharp, without any puncture marks...

"I still have some confidence in my strength."

Amidst the stunned crowd, Maria spoke seriously.

……

silence……

A long silence.

No one spoke for almost a minute after Maria easily opened the glass with her bare hands.

They looked at each other, their faces filled with surprise and incomprehension.

"I...did I drink too much?"

"Cutting glass with bare hands...did she hide some tool in her hand?"

"It does not seem……"

Everyone murmured and finally came to a conclusion.

Obviously, they drank too much and entered into a collective hallucination!

Cutting glass with bare hands, even Vaiven, who is known for his strong physique, can't do it, right?

And no one saw her take out any magic wand or other spellcasting media... In other words, she achieved this entirely by relying on her physical abilities.

What is this Terra Superman?!

After a moment of silence, the emperor suddenly burst into laughter.

"Hahahaha...you are...hahaha...you are so funny. Can you perform for me? This is it."

As the emperor spoke, he took a brand new glass from the side, handed it to the other party, and stretched out his hand to imitate Maria's action.

Maria was patient and silently took the wine glass, then performed a bare-handed cutting.

With this move, everyone finally believed that everything Maria did was accomplished entirely by relying on her own body.

Even in Terra, where demons and monsters coexist, this is an extraordinary existence.

And the emperor continued to laugh.

"Okay, okay, I like your personality..."

"It's you!"

"How about it? Are you interested in joining us at Penguin Logistics? I'll give you 100,000 a month and take 12% of the profit from every order. How about that?"

As he spoke, the emperor took out a contract from somewhere and placed it in front of Maria.

Such a salary is considered high within Penguin Logistics. The Emperor is obviously very satisfied with this inexplicable Maria.

He didn't consider whether his employees were weird or not. Rather, the weirder his employees were, the more he felt that creating Penguin Logistics was the right choice.

Life is interesting only when you deal with weird people.

If everyone was like that mouse and that henpecked husband, he wouldn't have to wait for others to assassinate him, he would have killed himself.

And obviously, he was very satisfied with this unique way of job hunting.

He believed in his intuition that this woman would definitely bring him a lot of interesting things!

Maria did not hesitate. She was looking for a job, so when she saw the other party agreed so readily, she nodded silently, picked up the pen beside her, and easily ticked her name.

"M...Maria? Unique name...Are you Victorian?"

"No, I come from a place called Yharnam."

"I haven't heard of it... But it doesn't matter. I believe that Yanan, who can cultivate someone like you, is worth my trip!"

"It's a pity that I destroyed that place."

"Hahaha, you talk so interestingly, I like it!"

The emperor smiled warmly, then jumped onto the bar and clapped his hands in front of the employees who were still in shock.

"Okay, guys and girls, stop standing there."

"Now, let's raise our glasses and celebrate Penguin Logistics hiring its 166th employee!"

"This is a number worth celebrating... Although I haven't figured out why it's worth celebrating yet, it doesn't matter!"

“Let us welcome it with our actions!”

"Miss Maria from Yharnam!"

Although the employees around him were still in shock, they all gave the emperor face.

They also raised their glasses and greeted Maria in front of them enthusiastically.

Although Maria could not respond one by one, she nodded from time to time.

After the atmosphere of the banquet returned to normal, the emperor sat down again and looked at Maria.

"By the way, do you have similar work experience?"

"No……"

"Really? But it doesn't matter. Everyone has a first time. With your ability, you'll definitely adapt quickly. But before that, you need a guide... Let me see, oh, you guys are pretty good."

Looking at the Archangel and others making a fuss around him, the emperor smiled and waved his hand.

"Well, Miss Maria, is it okay for you to team up with them during this time?"

"No problem at all!"

The drunk Archangel sat aside with a smile, waving enthusiastically at Maria.

"Please take care of me~"

Although Croissant was already half drunk and hanging on the sofa, he still struggled to greet Maria.

Not to mention Sora, as an idol, she can't drink alcohol, and she only drank a little juice from beginning to end.

She also saluted Maria very politely.

"We'll be colleagues from now on~"

As she said this, the girl winked.

But unfortunately Maria didn't buy it.

She just silently shifted her gaze and looked at the last person in the team.

A girl...hiding in the corner of the sofa...

"Woo..."

Texas wailed.

Chapter 29: What is your relationship?

Early morning, Longmen Outer Ring.

The hungover Archangel walked out of the dormitory room in a daze, rubbing his head with an ugly look on his face.

"Wow~ I feel dizzy. Croissant, do you have any hangover medicine? I think I drank too much last night."

"There's no croissant~"

"So what did you just eat secretly?"

"You can still see clearly what I ate, you must not be dizzy!"
