"So with all that taken care of, productivity is at its peak. Can say with confidence that everything will be smooth sailing from now on. You can thank the crafters for their fine work, but don't forget to deliver those review and feedback documents when you can. They do take pride on both complement and criticism; can't help but admire them for that."

Fox gave a little nod as he continued to listen to the bovine ramble on his latest business project.

"Sure has been raining a lot lately. Wonder if Tokyo is going through another one of its crazy times. Hopefully nothing randomly explodes~ Stay close, kiddo. This handy suit umbrella might be great for sudden precipitation, but it's not the largest cover we can get. Haven't developed one that doesn't interfere with the outfit yet."

He chuckled.

"Though I have to admit, the rain does feel rather nice. With climate change and all, these summers have been getting hotter and hotter. If I wasn't carrying precious cargo, I probably wouldn't mind getting rained on~"

Fox was puzzled at that statement and looked at his boss up and down.

"Precious cargo?" The vulpine asked. "I don't see you carrying anything."

Gyumao pat Fox on the head.

"Talking about you, kiddo~ If you want to get rained on after we're done for the day, so be it~ After all, you're not the one who has several spare outfits around for when you need to grow and bust out of them for flair. So let's keep you dry for now~"

Fox blushed from both the comments and the headpats.

"Hehe, I keep that in mind, Boss~"

_____________________________________

Yup, a little more Fox and Gyumao because I love them~

I also love to imagine that they have all matching outfits because Gyumao wants to always be able pick Fox out/make sure everyone knows their together (as a boss and employee), while Fox sees it as a cute way of Gyumao showing ownership of him.
