"I need double the salary."
"200$."
I directly decided to raise the stake.
If earlier it was only a thought then now I really wanted to gamble.
As expected, hearing my words, both of the n standing in front of had long faces.
"Boy, don’t push your luck."
Before the short employee could utter another word, he was snubbed by the boss.
"Shut up, you go, I will deal with him here."
The boss shouted towards his subordinate.
Hearing the deafening tone, the short guy could only grump helplessly before leaving us alone.
"Young man, I admit we are short of people but you are directly trying to rob us."
"This is an unskilled job in the first place."
"Let’s go 130$."
"180$."
I replied back.
"140."
"150 no more or I will find soone else."
The boss finally gave in.
"Done, it’s 150$ but you will have to let use one of the bicycles parked outside."
I quickly put forward my demand.
When I entered the building, beside the gate I saw a large number of parked bicycles, so were even rusted and probably hadn’t been used in a while.
"Sure, most of them are outdated and no one from the company uses them, take any model you deem fit."
The boss was generous.
After so more discussions and getting the list of the houses to whom I need to deliver newspapers in the morning, my new job officially began.
Ti duration was 6.30 to 7.30 am, after completing this side job I will directly go to the school.
With a clear plan formulated in my head, I chose a casual bicycle with carry buckets attached to it.
After filling the carry buckets with loads of newspapers, I started my first shift.
Feeling the cold air breeze past my face, my skin almost went numb.
Gritting my teeth, I threw the newspapers to their respective hos one after another.
At first, the job seed amusing but soon I lost interest.
Treating it similar to other part ti jobs my mind started drifting to other important things.
Especially regarding Beatrix.
Would she give up after this setback?
Yesterday, she didn’t ca to the school, perhaps the reason was she spent the entire day off to find that mysterious woman as her ally?
How will she react when she will face tomorrow in the school?
I don’t think people like are ready to give up so easily.
They are stubborn as fuck.
What if she made a scene and put a round of false allegations on ?
Things were trickier as I kept thinking.
"Damn, what a headache!"
"Suddenly a bold idea popped up in my head."
Maybe I can use her feelings for Asuna to dupe her?
A newly crafted ticulousl plan appeared in my head.
"Let’s see how the things go, if this strategy works, the I will make a big killing."
I didn’t realised when an hour had almost passed out, by the ti I threw the last newspaper over a bunglow, it was 7.40 am.
"Damn, need to peddle fast."
I directly took the bicycle to my school.
As for school bag?
No need to go back ho.
The entire ti my backpack was behind on my back.
I ca prepared~
Braving the cold winds I once again peddled hard towards my school.
I arrived just in ti.
Leaving my bicycle in the parking space, I hurriedly rushed to the classroom.
Looking at the watch which showed only 3 minutes till the class’s door will be locked from inside, I ran the fastest race of my life.
"Okay, lock the class, it’s ti to start."
The second I reached near the door, I heard the teacher’s nonchalant voice.
Once the class was locked, I would be basically marked absent.
Thud~
With a big montum I opened the door.
A student who was standing closer to the door to lock it from inside barely escaped from the impact.
"I am sorry, I had an important thing to do in the morning."
"I just arrived on ti."
Hehe~
Giving an embarrassed smile, I politely nodded to the old computer studies teacher, before taking my seat which was left empty.
As for the other students looking at like watching a show?.... I never cared about them.
The teacher wanted to scold , but looking at the clock striking 8 am, he knew I was perfectly on ti.
"Okay, close the door."
With no reason to scold , the teacher started the computer theory class.
It was probably one of the most boring classes.
Within minutes, almost half of the class had their head down and so even directly started snoring.
Probably, the teacher was used to seeing this thing and ignored it carrying on the lecture.
Back on Earth, where the Ai technology had made life much easier, having basic computer knowledge was considered common sense.
Watching the teacher trying his best about how to compose an email and prepare a presentation, I also put my head down and closed my eyes.
Since others are completing their sleep, how could I, who had woken much earlier, miss this opportunity?
Pop~
Suddenly, a paper ball struck my head.
Huh?
I looked towards my right and saw Parul giving a mischievous smile.
At the sa ti, my phone vibrated with a new ssage.
Yesterday, after her nagging, I added Parul as a friend on my private personal account.
Keeping my phone under the desk, I read her ssage.
{Parul: Hey, things have been rough between and Leo since Claire’s birthday party.}
My mind shook as I tried to rember who this Leo was.
But her next ssage cleared my doubts.
{Parul: Leo harbours great resentnt towards you and he even reprimanded for speaking up for you.}
{Elandor: It’s okay, I don’t care about him. If a guy like him can’t admit his mistakes then he doesn’t deserve a good girl like you.}
I just brushed her off casually.
Who cares whether Parul is good or not, whether she has killed humans or not.
At least she has been good to , and appears to be on my side for the timing.
It’s best to increase her favorability.
Wait!
Why didn’t I think about this earlier?
Another idea popped up in my head.
I imdiately typed a reply.
{Elandor: Is Leo still insulting you and saying bad things about your oversized breasts and buttocks.}
I was blunt this ti.
Since we are going to play a big ga there is no need to beat around the bush.
As expected~
Reading my words, Parul’s pupils dilated as she lifted her head and looked in my direction.
My straightforward words regarding her body parts made her cheeks red.
{Parul: How can a boy be so direct?
How can you so boldly make a comnt about my body shape.}
Clenching her fists, Parul gave a quick response.
{Elandor: Does it matter? People who are hypocritical always try to trap you in a web of lies without telling you about the contempt hidden in their hearts.}
{I tell you Parul- Your body is perfect. Those boys who don’t appreciate it, sha on them!}
{If you were my girlfriend, I would have spoiled you to the core.}
I texted everything within a minute.
Parul, who was waiting for further response, was baffled.
If earlier her cheeks were red, then now even her ears have turned red with excess stimulus.
{Parul: You...You are not allowed to say such things so openly.}
{You already got a beautiful girlfriend like Rainaziel, don’t think like this about .}
Parul felt nervous.
I knew it was ti to strike while the iron was hot.
{Elandor: Beauty is beauty, I don’t care if Leo doesn’t appreciate you, in my eyes, your appearance is not a fraction less than Asuna’s.}
First I tried to appreciate her for what she had been rebuked and shad by friends and her boyfriend Leo alike, then I falsely planted a picture of her no less inferior to Asuna- who was the campus no.1 beauty.
This strategy was called- Falsely boosting the ego.
The aim was to make Parul overconfident and provoke even a bigger fight between her and Leo.
With her being emotionally hurt and unstable, not to forget rejected in love, I could swoop in providing tily dependency and care.
With this I can try to shape her into one of my permanent allies.
But everything was far-fetched, I still needed to work on details.
{Elandor: How about we talk near the balcony after this class during our 10 minutes mandatory break between periods?}
I crossed my hands as I crafted this manipulation.
Will Parul be tricked?
It was ti to find out.
With her casual attitude, Parul didn’t suspect anything.
On the contrary, she felt delighted that soone was ready to listen to her.
She was confused regarding her situation with Leo and needed soone’s opinion, and Elandor, who is also in a relationship can definitely give his unique insight.
{Sure.}
Parul hurriedly answered.
