Doris

Threading through streets with messages from afar, I just need a smile from the recipient as encouragement.

Interview

“What's the daily work of a messenger like?”

: “In fact, it’s just “sending” a “letter”! It’s the same work content every day~”

“Don't you find it boring?”

: “How can it be boring when you can see the smile of the recipient when they get the letter~”

: “You can also find a lot of fun in ordinary work~”

“Dole looks serious. What can you possibly find fun in… ordinary work?”

: “He is so lame! He likes to organize letters, even the letters that need to be delivered on the same day must be sorted into categories…”

“When delivering letters, you will meet all kinds of people, what adventures did you embark on?”

Backstory

Urgent Matter When the first ray of light in the morning shines on the small road of Mini Cute… The pleasant alarm sounded, and Doris woke up from the bed. She was excited when she looked at the time.

: “Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh going to be late!”

She quickly put on her uniform, her hat, her satchel on her back, and hurried out. Her destination is the Mini Cute Post Office this is where Doris works every day.

: “Doris, wouldn't it be boring to have the same job every day?”

: “No way! I really like this job!”

As a messenger at the Mini Cute Post Office, Doris works almost all year round, but she can always devote herself to her passion.

Every letter seems to be infected with the magic of joy, and will always be delivered to the recipient's hands with Doris's bright and cheerful laugh.

: “Doris, come and sort out the letters and get ready to go.”

: “Coming!”

Doris walked into the letter sorting room, and when she picked up the first letter, the familiar smile appeared on her face again.

: “Wow, look at this envelope, it’s so cute! Two children holding hands are drawn with colored pens on it. Maybe it is a “coded communication” between a pair of friends!”

: “Uhhuh, hurry up and pack up, I'll go deliver the letter first.”

: “Okay, okay… Wow, the winning letter from the Mystical Planet Survival Adventure Competition! Let's congratulate this winner!”

Doris murmured something while sorting it out, feeling truly happy for the winner. She could imagine that when this awardwinning letter reaches the recipient's hands, the recipient will be ecstatic! However, when Doris saw the third letter, she couldn't help but frown. I don’t know whether it was due to the bumpy road or the rain. The corners of the envelope were cracked, and a few blurry black writings were faintly exposed…

: “Life…save…medical…emergency…home…gather…”

Doris turned the envelope over again and saw only the front of the envelope. Not only was the address printed on it, but also “Urgent” was printed in big red letters. Doris couldn't help but think that the letter in her hand seemed to be a seriously ill and dying person conveying her deep desire to see her for the last time to her family! : “That's too late! This letter must be sent immediately!”

So, Doris stuffed the envelope into her satchel, hurriedly opened the door, and prepared to rush to the recipient's home. At this moment, Doris's delivery partner, Dole, had just returned to the Mini Cute Post Office after delivering the first batch of letters in the morning, and almost bumped into Doris who was in a hurry to go out. Doris didn't have time to say hello, so she ran over and got on her messenger bicycle, and rushed to her destination quickly. But what she didn't expect was that because she was in such a hurry, the unstuffed letter inadvertently slipped from her satchel.

: “Doris, letter…”

Dole hurried forward and picked up the letter outside the door. When he raised his head and saw Doris walking away, he couldn't help but sigh.

: “Sigh…this letter…no wonder she is so anxious.”

: “Phew~ It’s finally here!”

Doris wiped the big beads of sweat on her head. She stood in front of a small house with retro decoration, took a deep breath, and pressed the doorbell next to the door. Click, someone opened the door, it was a grayhaired old woman. Doris was stunned for a second, her brows furrowed, and she seemed to be even more unbearable, but she still put on a big bright smile and was about to hand the letter to the recipient.

: “Oops! Where is the letter…”

: “Hello, your letter has arrived. Please sign here.”

Just when Doris was panicking, Dole suddenly appeared from behind, took out the “urgent letter” from his satchel, and handed it to the old lady with a slight seriousness. The old lady took the letter tremblingly, and when she saw the letter, her expression suddenly became excited. Dole and Doris couldn't help but feel worried. They couldn't bear to see the old lady face the sad news alone, so they planned to accompany the old lady to read the letter. When the old lady opened the letter and read it word for word, her expression suddenly changed and she laughed happily.

Old lady: “Very good! My granddaughter is coming tomorrow!”

: “Uh? Isn't someone sick?”

Old lady: “Originally, my granddaughter had agreed to come over to play on Saturday, but for some reason she was delayed a lot of time. The letter she just sent was to say that she picked up an injured puppy on the road, and it seemed that it was ”not going to die soon.“ Due to the emergency, she took the puppy to the pet hospital for treatment first.”

: “It turns out that this letter was specially written to reassure grandma because she was worried that she would be anxious…”

: “Ah, so it was a misunderstanding…”

Doris and Dole were pushing their bicycles, preparing to set off back to the Mini Cute Post Office. Doris scratched her head in embarrassment.

: “I was too impulsive… Now, the other letters will be late…”

: “No matter what, you also have good intentions. Next time you can sort out the letters and send the urgent ones first, so that the delivery of other letters will not be delayed.”

: “Yeah, yeah, I know!”

: “But the most important thing is, don’t lose the letter next time~”
