Reincarnate In Helluva Boss as an Imp/Hellhound Hybrid

Chapter 6: 1 year later

The I.M.P. office was buzzing with energy as we celebrated another successful mission. The "Best Employee of the Month" certificate was handed over to Moxxie, who blushed and stammered his thanks while the rest of us cheered. It was about time he got some recognition.

—Flashback—

Blitzo, always the showman, presented the award with a flourish. "Congratulations, Moxxie! You earned it."

Millie chimed in, her voice filled with pride, "Well done, Moxxie. You've come a long way."

Moxxie's response was a mix of gratitude and bashfulness, but he held the certificate with a newfound sense of accomplishment.

As the festivities continued, our laughter filled the office. We had become a tightly-knit team, despite our quirks and the peculiar circumstances of our work in Hell.

—End of Flashback—

"Alright. Now, I know business has been... a bit slow lately, yes. It's no one's fault, okay? I'm not naming any names here... Moxxie." He said before looking at Moxxie.

Moxxie then gives him an incredulous look in response.

"Now, does anyone have... any bright ideas on how we can get business drummin' up again?" Blitzo asked.

Millie then asked with her eyes sparkling, "What about a car wash?"

"This is Hell, Millie. No one cares about cars being clean here, okay? *thinks for a second* Wh- Ooh! What about a billboard?" Blitzo said exasperated.

He then waves his hands with an enthusiastic flair as sparkles fly out.

Moxxie then rolls eyes before saying, "We can't afford a billboard, sir."

Blitzo then wraps his arm over Moxxie's shoulder, "Helpful, Moxxie. Glad you're in the room right now." He then pushed him away before continuing, "Have you guys forgotten what service we provide?"

Blitzo then turns on the TV that shows the I.M.P. crew brutally murdering people from the overworld as they are paid to do. Blitzo whacks a man in the face with a mallet, Moxxie is blown away firing a shotgun through the mouth of a man tied to a chair, Loona swings a man back and forth in her mouth, Millie decapitates someone with a harpoon and laughs and I am breathing fire while using my scythes to cut people in half. Then, it zooms out to everyone watching the TV, with Loona sitting in my lap, and Millie and Blitzo eating popcorn.

"Ahh, those were the good times," Blitzo said.

"I don't need any reminding, sir. Considering you blew most of our salaries on an obnoxious TV ad last week. One that you then additionally paid to have run for a full three hours on a channel... nobody watches." Moxie said sarcastically.

"Uh, hey. Excuse me? What's "obnoxious" about a super-fun jingle, alright? It's a fun distraction when an advertisement's spittin' bullshit!" Blitzo said while using his fingers to do air quotes.

"People love musicals, sir." She said Happily.

"Exactly, Millie! And we're doin' a musical. Are you gonna crush my musical theatre dreams like my dad did?" Blitzo said while doing jazz hands.

"Sir--" Moxie said before being cut off.

" 'Cause, right now? All I see is just my dad's asshole talking to me! Crushing my dreams of being who I truly am inside." Blitzo said talking about his dad.

"Are you tryin' to crush his dreams, Moxxie?" Millie asked his Moxxie.

"I-- What?" Moxie asked confused.

Millie then said flirtatiously, "I thought I knew you."

She then playfully sticks her tongue out at him as Moxxie blushes and rolls his eyes affectionately.
