Pi Xiu works at the port to pay off her debts. She thought she'd landed a proper job at a big company with regular 9-to-5 hours, but it turned out to be 24/7, always on call.
She also has to look after two brats around her age who climb onto rooftops and dance on graves every day.
Pi Xiu dreams of getting Boss Mori to fire her every single day.
A lovely young woman approaches, holding a floral parasol. She's as gentle as water, and, most importantly, dressed in an incredibly luxurious outfit. She looks rich, like a VIP customer.
Pi Xiu hurriedly whistles at the beautiful customer. "A real pretty flower girl, yo-shi, yo-shi."
The flower girl looks over with a smile in her eyes, then inclines her chin toward the young executives beside her, now a fearsome double-black duo. "New recruit? One of your subordinates?"
"No, Miss Koyo, we don't know this wild monkey." The two executives deny it in practiced unison and step back just as smoothly. They look so practiced it's almost heartbreaking. "He's terrifying!"
Koyo's eyes widen in shock. The double-black duo are actually afraid of someone?!
"He's got a mouth that likes to force kisses on people!" the hat rack blurts out.
Koyo: "???"
Before long, Koyo discovers someone's interesting secret. Oh, so she's actually a girl...
"Would you like to become a flower girl?" Koyo asks with a kindly smile.
Pi Xiu, who has seen Madame Koyo's methods of punishment, trembles in a corner. She starts to shake her head, but catches Koyo's look and immediately nods with fierce enthusiasm.
Pi Xiu grabs her short hair. She only wanted to quit, not die!!!
Later, Pi Xiu comes to terms with it and starts training like crazy, building up her stamina, combat skills, and every other ability she can strengthen.
Damn it, she's not leaving! She'll live and die with this sweatshop! No, she'll make sure this sweatshop ends up in her hands!!!
