I sigh forcefully, and continue,

”And here I am, still coming to work every day even after everything that happens in the school. You should be grateful, Manager Cadella.”

Cadella Smith is her name by the way. I don't know why it wasn't mentioned till now, had the author forgotten how to write?

”I should be grateful, you say?” she asks with arms folded as she starts looking down on me even though she is as tall as I am.

”Yes, that is what I just said.” I answer in a plain voice.

”Fine,” She sighs and continues, ”I'd be grateful of you if you can deliver this package to the given address within next 15 minutes.”

Hah! What the hell!?

She hands me the package with the address of a place that is exactly 20 minutes from here on my bicycle.

Well, I accept your challenge, woman!

And I don't even have the time to say that so I run along and get on my bicycle with the package. If it isn't clear yet, I am the delivery boy of a department store.

Less than one minute remaining, with the protagonist-kun about to reach the target in 250 meters. It's a close match that shows the effort put in by both players, be it protagonist-kun or time-san. The game, however, is still in favor of time-san and protagonist-kun is having trouble maintaining his stamina.

Will the protagonist-kun make it? No one can tell as the game has now entered a nail-biting finale stage where anything can happen.

The protagonist-kun is giving his all by pedaling his bicycle with the worst battle cries of all time escaping his mouth as he sails through the wind trying to outrun time-san but time-san had seen this coming and had already made sure to run out on traffic lights-san to stop the protagonist-kun.

Does the protagonist-kun fall for this ploy? No, the protagonist does not fall for this ploy as he uses his assurance of his ultimate hidden ability, Plot Armor, to anger police-san by defying laws-kun and pedaling through red lights-san.

But time-san has already readied his next ploy. A meteor strikes the path of the protagonist-kun.

”What the freaking heck!!!” The protagonist-kun, I, say in an over-excited voice. ”That's foul play.”
