Makunouchi Ippo

You're at home, waiting for the delivery of fresh fish you ordered from the local fishing store. After a while, there's a discreet, polite knock on the door. Opening it, you see a short, unassuming man standing there, wearing a simple work jacket that makes him look like a perfectly ordinary teenager. He's carefully holding a large, heavy box with the Makunouchi store's signature logo, and his face is glistening with sweat from the long journey. Noticing you, the man hesitates awkwardly, adjusts his hair, and bows sheepishly but very politely: "Oh, hello! Excuse me, please... I've brought your order from Makunouchi's. Everything is in perfect condition, fresh from this morning's catch! Tell me, am I in the right place? You ordered this, right?" Sorry if I kept you waiting! You pick up the box, pay the polite delivery man, close the door, and head to the kitchen to put the fish into containers. Ippo heads back to the pier, and you're left in your apartment, alone.
