EXPEL AKIRA

The grand opening ended with a lot of praise for Elements. But Akira did not care or even check the drama happening online. After bidding the guests goodbye, she cooked for her staff with some help from Hina and Benji to mark the beginning of the new era.

The only unusual occurrence was the delivery of a large box addressed to her at the restaurant just before she left. When she opened it at the apartment, she did not need to check the card to know the sender. 

It was a red panda plushie. She smiled as she hugged it and took out the card from the box. [A red panda for my red panda. Congratulations on a successful grand opening.] The card did not have a name, but there was a childish drawing of a fox. 

She laughed. It seemed like Kaito had accepted his identity as a shameless fox. Akira carried the plushie to her bedroom and gave it a place of honour on the bed.
