—This manuscript probably ain’t gonna make the Real Deadline.

He had broken five-ish pseudo-deadlines in a row, and yesterday was the last one of those. There was no more “pseudo-” in front of the next deadline. He breaks it, there’s no book. And unlike other publishers in the field, who could keep the money flowing in with weekly magazines and the like, Itsuki’s couldn’t make up for the time loss.

Toki had been calling his phone practically nonstop since last night, pressing him for the manuscript. Itsuki had pressed on with his writing, steadfastly ignoring the calls. But, realizing he was in an impossible situation, he had finally decided to flee his own home and disappear before Toki came to his doorstep.

“…Well, hang in there.”

With that little show of support, Miyako went back to reading.

The sweat poured down Itsuki’s head as his fingers slammed away at the keyboard for an hour or so. Suddenly:

“…All right!”

He stopped, turned his head upward, and gave Miyako a broad, refreshing smile.

“You’re done?!”

Itsuki kept smiling.

“Time to sing!”

“What?! You got time for that?”

He didn’t. He didn’t, but Itsuki sang—to switch gears for bit, and/or to escape reality. He went on for about an hour straight, jumping between anime themes and his favorite bands. After he had worked up a good sweat, his face suddenly turned dour again.

“Right… Time to start fighting again… Fighting reality…”

“Huh? Um, okay… That’d be good, I think.”

Miyako wasn’t exactly being helpful, delving back into her novel as the solo recital of utter desperation continued. She had her doubts about how “irregular” the hero of this story was, but she still liked it a lot.

Turning back toward his PC, Itsuki opened up a new e-mail window instead of his manuscript.

“Okay… What kind of excuse will my editor be okay with…?”

“Huh?! You aren’t writing the novel?”

“Bah-ha-ha! You fool! I would be, if I had any chance of making it in time! But there’s just no way, so I’m gonna send an e-mail with an excuse so good, he’ll have to accept that I couldn’t avoid this!”

“…Well, if you think that’s your best option, have at it, I guess.”

Ignoring the bile behind Miyako’s advice, Itsuki started thinking. The most orthodox approach would be to meekly apologize and beg for some way to make an extension.
