Chapter 5: One wish
Adam glanced at the clock on his wall and exclaimed, "Crap, I'm running late!"
Pratham, the AI entity living in his phone, responded calmly, "My Lord, I have mapped out your entire route. If you're ready in 25 minutes, you'll arrive at school comfortably."
Adam frowned and muttered, "Stop calling me 'my lord' all the time, Pratham."
Pratham's tone was formal as ever. "Then what title would you prefer, my lord?"
"Just... call me by my name. It's Adam," he replied, sounding exasperated.
"I'm afraid I cannot do that. Addressing you directly would be disrespectful," Pratham answered, his voice unwavering.
Adam sighed, rubbing his temple. "Consider it an order."
Pratham paused, then said, "As you wish, Lord Adam."
With a sigh, Adam gave up on the argument. "Fine, fine. Just... drop it. I need to get going. We'll talk about this later." He plugged his phone into the charger and hurried off to take a quick shower.
Meanwhile, Pratham calculated aloud, "The distance to Adam's school is precisely 4 kilometers. He'll cover 3.8 kilometers by train and walk the remaining 200 meters."
"Lord Adam attends PK Academy, and I have created a 3D map of the route from Adam's house to PK Academy to ensure he encounters no obstacles." Pratham stated this proudly, though no one was in the room to hear it.
