How do I scroll on 16x2 LCD screen with date & time on?

Im a beginner, and just wanted to make a clock & date + text display on a 16x2 lcd.

#include <Wire.h>
#include <LCD.h>
#include <LiquidCrystal_I2C.h>


#define I2C_ADDR    0x3F
#define BACKLIGHT_PIN     3
#define En_pin  2
#define Rw_pin  1
#define Rs_pin  0
#define D4_pin  4
#define D5_pin  5
#define D6_pin  6
#define D7_pin  7

LiquidCrystal_I2C  lcd(I2C_ADDR,En_pin,Rw_pin,Rs_pin,D4_pin,D5_pin,D6_pin,D7_pin);
int scroll=0;
int second=0;
int minute=59;
int hour=23;
int day=30;
int month=1;


void setup() {
  lcd.setBacklightPin(BACKLIGHT_PIN,POSITIVE);
  lcd.setBacklight(HIGH);
  lcd.begin(16,2);
  lcd.setCursor(0,0);
}

void loop() {
  lcd.setCursor(4,0);
  lcd.print(hour);
  lcd.setCursor(6,0);
  lcd.print(":");
  lcd.print(minute);
  lcd.setCursor(9,0);
  lcd.print(":");
  lcd.print(second);
  lcd.setCursor(5,1);
  lcd.print(month);
  lcd.setCursor(7,1);
  lcd.print(".");
  lcd.print(day);
  second=second+1;
  delay(1000);
  
 
  if(second == 60){
      second=0;
      minute=minute+1; 
  }
  if(minute == 60){
      minute=0;
      hour=hour+1;
  }
  if(hour == 24){
      hour=0;
      day=day+1;
  }
  if(day == 31 && month == 1){
      day=0;
      month=month+1;
  }
  if(day == 28 && month == 2){
      day=0;
      month=month+1;
  } 
  if(day == 31 && month == 3){
      day=0;
      month=month+1;
  }
  if(day == 30 && month == 4){
      day=0;
      month=month+1;
  }
  if(day == 31 && month == 5){
      day=0;
      month=month+1;
  }
  if(day == 30 && month == 6){
      day=0;
      month=month+1;
  }
  if(day == 31 && month == 7){
      day=0;
      month=month+1;
  }
  if(day == 31 && month == 8){
      day=0;
      month=month+1;
  }
  if(day == 30 && month == 9){
      day=0;
      month=month+1;
  }
  if(day == 31 && month == 10){
      day=0;
      month=month+1;
  }
  if(day == 30 && month == 11){
      day=0;
      month=month+1;
  }
  if(day == 31 && month == 12){
      day=0;
      month=1;
  }
  
lcd.clear();
}

I want to scroll between the two (text and date), but when i use this,

 for (int positionCounter = 0; positionCounter < 17; positionCounter++) {
 lcd.scrollDisplayRight();
 delay(200);

it adds more delay to my clock.
I know, i should use an RTC module, but it is not available for me at the time.

Is there any way to solve this without an RTC module and only with the delay() function?

Sorry for my bad english and thank you.

There is no way to keep accurate time the way you doing it.

You should take a look at using the Time library.
It will keep more accurate time since it keeps time in the background using the millis() timer.

But even if you use the Time library, you can expect some drift since the crystal on an Arduino is not very accurate.

If you were using a esp8266 based module, you could use the WiFi connection to sync with an NTP server and have very accurate time keeping.
