Facing Reality

We luckily (or because of my hidden ability) find a place to hide, a building with cracked up walls that if we get inside, shut the windows and then run to other rooms, we'll be able to escape from Aknin Vielos' sight. And so, why would we do anything else? But,

"What's wrong?" I fall on my knees and Roswaisa looks at me anxiously as she asks that.

"Seems like the time-limit is over now." I say and just as I do, I disappear from there and find myself opening my eyes in the same building but just at a different corner (I was obviously brought here by Danny and I would just ignore all the creepy gayness that could lead to).

"Are you alright?" Danny asks, to which I nod holding my head with my left hand and it is throbbing a little (probably as a side-effect of having something like this done to me for the first time) while my right hand is on Danny's shoulders as he is carrying me.

"Your ability was a life saver, by the way." I say and get away from him trying to stand on my own two legs. After a bit of struggle, I am able to do so and the throbbing decreases to the point where I can just ignore it.

"We need to reunite with her." I say as I turn back to look at Danny. "And for that, we'll need to find her."

"No, no," he says while waving his hands with an expression of denial, "For that, we'll just have to walk till there."

He points at a different corner at about 70-degree on my left where Roswaisa is standing trying to run while still being anxious of (probably) what happened to me. Well, I guess that's another one of my hidden abilities at work, 'Plot Convenience'. Hah! Feels good to be an OP Protagonist!

"Why are you all smug like some OP protagonist!" Danny says with a sympathetic look, "Time to face it, my friend. You are the exact opposite of an OP protagonist."

Ah! The cruel reality! The bitchy reality that turns gamers and weebs into unproductive members of the society! Just ignore it, man! It serves no purpose, just ignore it!

"Anyway," he says as he sees my smug transform into a sigh, "ROSWAISA! WE'RE HERE!"

Roswaisa sees us as she hears Danny calling and runs up to us saying, "Oh, thank god! You're safe!" she says with a relieved voice and then, "N-not that I was worried or anything, b-baka!"

"Yeah, yeah, we know you want to be a tsundere but face the truth," Danny says with a serious face, "The author isn't capable enough to write a tsundere so your dream will never be fulfilled. You are better off just giving up on it."

"Uh!" As she hears so, Roswaisa falls into a shocked silence. I understand, Roswaisa, I understand.

"You know Danny; you didn't need to tell me that I'm a weak-ass protagonist on my face."

"You know Danny; you didn't need to tell me that I can never be a tsundere on my face."

We say at the same time to which, Danny replies with a scornful look,

"Well, now you know how I felt 5 chapters ago."

It has been a while since we entered this building. I didn't expect that Demoness to take so long in finding us. Is this building more complex than it seemed to me from outside? Whatever's the case, it's working in our favor at least. But,

"We can't hide from her forever." Roswaisa says, "Before, she told me about her goal, and it was to kill me and Irium."

"Wait! Why me too?" I ask, surprised by the sudden revelation.

"She says it's because of someone's premonition that says the two of us will become the reason the Demon race gets destroyed." She says in a tone that shows that she herself does not belief that something like that'd be possible.

"That's impossible!" Danny says in an exaggerated voice as he hears that and then realizes his mistake and lowers his voice again, "The whole Demon race can never be wiped out. Even you Angels won't be able to do that, no offense."

"None taken," she says with a serious expression, "It's the truth after all."

"But then how can you two possibly become a reason for their destruction?" Danny wonders.

"And how can the demon race be destroyed anyway?" Roswaisa wonders.

"See," and so I say, "this is why out of the three of us, I am the protagonist."

These idiots are going off topic, and protagonists can't do that, unless they suck. ('Some-Exceptions-Always-Exist' rule applied.)

"Whether we can destroy the Demon race or not comes later, for now, we need to think about how we can defeat that Demoness with ridiculously large boobs." I say with folded arms to show my clear supremacy, knowing I'm the weakest character in the story so far.

"Hmm, you are right about that." She nods and agrees but, "Was that last remark really necessary though?"

"No, but it's just a thing you notice. Those are really huge, your C-Cups are nothing compared to them." I say with a hand on my chin and Danny nods as if to agree.

"Yeah, that's true. No offense, Roswaisa but your boob-size makes you look like a loli in front of her." Danny says.

"Wow!" Roswaisa says with a disgusted face and hands on her boobs, "I just got sexually harassed by two men."

"I see you people are having fun!"

As we hear that cold and unnerving voice, we realize that we did end up wasting too much time on pointless things.

"She's here." Roswaisa shouts and we all start running away as soon as she does.

"For how long do you think I'll let you keep up this nonsense?" she says with annoyance and anger as she stomps her right foot on the floor, causing it to break apart and making us lose our footing. But it doesn't stop there as the whole floor collapses with just that one stomp and we find ourselves on the lower floors, injured and in pain, looking at the cause of it. And as she stares at us with contempt, she yells,

"Now, all of you die!"
