I'm Just A Chuunibyou: Why Are Maidens Falling For Me? [Volume 1]

Chapter 22: Operation [Blend in with the Crowds]

Summer brake is now over as September arrives. It's now September which means it time for schools to resume.

This past month, during the summer break, Ayaka and I trained myself to be the perfect side character in order for to embody a real shadow hero this time around.

During that span of one month, I trained to act normal around people and how to dress properly.

Right now, Ayaka and I are preparing our selves for school.

Before we leave the house, Ayaka keep reminding me of our training to do things just as we practiced this past weekend. Of course, for me, Phantom, am willing to act accordingly as this is a necessary aspect to truly become one of the shadow hero that I aspire for.

"Make sure to act just as we practiced"

"Of course, who do you think I am"

"Not Phantom I presume"

She said jokingly wile having a cheeky smile on her face while fixing my tie.

"That's what you thought, that means it's already working"

Even if I look like a normal student. Deep inside I'm a shadow hero, Phantom.

I replied as a response to her joke about Phantom with a cocky serious monotone voice. I was confident enough about blending in as one of the normal characters. But of course, beneath the façade of being just a normal person, I, Phantom is hiding underneath the surface.

After we're all set. I opened the door of our house to start operation [Blend in with the crowds].

"Let operation [Blend in with the crowds] commence"

I stepped out the door as the mark that operation [Blend in with the crowds] already started.

This is my first mission as a true shadow hero.

I clenched my fist tightly with my resolve to be a true shadow hero this time around.

And so we stepped out of the house, locked the door, out the gates, then continue on our way to our own respective schools.

Going out the gate, I went to the left while Ayaka went to the right cause the junior high Ayaka attends to is on the opposite way from my high school.

Just before we were completely far apart not able to hear each other, right before she turn to her corner, Ayaka shouted and called out to me...

"Brother! Good Luck!"

She wave her hands up and down wishing me luck with operation [blend in with the crowds].

"Yeah"

I nodded and gave her a simple smile and a thumbs up as a reply with confidence saying "I got this"

And so, we parted our ways and proceeded walking our own journey called school.
