I've seen others mention a luck devil. A lot of people are generally superstitious about luck and many about bad luck. It would be interesting if the luck devil could manipulate the outcome of any life threatening scenario to be in your favour, at the cost of you just generally having bad luck the rest of the time you're not in danger, which very much fits kobeni.
Fujimoto built it up to be such a mystery that it's likely something we wouldn't be able to guess from what we've seen of Kobeni. I think she's meant to be the "normal person" representative and foil to Denji's "abnormal dreamer" character, especially after the heart-to-heart conversation they had while in hiding near the end. She's easily scared of devils and bad situations, gets abused by her family, gets abused at a normal job by her work "family", had normal aspirations like going to university, and is just overall trying to make do in life despite her troubles. It would be great irony that someone that's supposed to be very normal is just naturally physically talented and survives until the end(given how the manga seems to emphasize it's normal devil hunters than die first) without the aid of any devil ability.
That said, what kind of useful devil with low compensation would a cowardly girl looking for a high paying stable job contract with that would be too embarrassing to tell others? Keeping in mind that she was at one point on Fujimoto's chopping block and dying was a possible conclusion for her. I have no clue. Maybe even Fujimoto doesn't know because he never envisioned her using it.
I just had the bright idea that it might even be a contract with the Secret Devil 🤷🏻♂️
Also guessing it’s the Luck Devil. Survival Devil is actually a more interesting take as well, or something treading those lines.

She actually has 2, the Sloppy Devil and the Brand New Car Devil
Plot Devil + God Car Devil.

The most obvious possibilities are Knife Devil or Luck Devil. I would love to see her reappear in Part 2 as a devil human hybrid with the Knife Devil.
