Time to Strike Back Part II

"Let’s go, Captain. I’ll take you home today... Oh, but there’s somewhere we need to stop first."

Before long, Secretary Bam, who had been standing in the corner of the room for a while, spoke up with a bright smile and walked over to take hold of the stubborn Captain, as if determined not to let him escape ever again.

"What? Where now?" Joke asked, confused.

"Dr. Pensri is waiting for you. Do you think I’d overlook the fact that you passed out and overloaded like that?"

Joke groaned, realizing he couldn’t escape Bam’s watchful care. This was the same secretary who’d drag anyone to the hospital for even the smallest scratch.

Everyone laughed at Joke’s defeated expression as he reluctantly rose to his feet, letting out a long sigh.

For now, he finally accepted it:

"I’m... so tired."
