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

CHAPTER 37: I'm just an Assassin

You might be curious. How did I ended up running out of the bush you may ask?

You see. It was from an idea I had last night.

Last night I was researching on the internet on various ways on how I can improve my hiding amongst the crowds act as a real Shadow Hero.

During the research, I came across a role that I had forgotten who's perfect for hiding.

And that role was "An Assassin!"

Assassin, a job that focuses on concealing their existence despite them being close by.

Using them as reference, wouldn't they be the perfect role model to become a real shadow.

I see. An assassin huh. Let's try it.

That lead me to what happened right now.

Coming out of the house, I left the premise with a hooded mantle on hand.

When no one was looking I wore the hood and goes on my way to school while honing my stealth skills with assassins as guide upon being a shadow.

The hooded mantle isn't really necessary. However, just by wearing it over my head. I can indulge and embrace being an assassin in hiding more, just like how I embrace my shadow hero roleplay with my Phantom attire...

Plus... Hoods are stylistically edgy as heck, just the way I like it.

"I am a shadow and the shadow is myself. I am one with the shadows."

While making my way to school, I continuously tried to stay clear of sight as much as possible.

I hid in the trees, behind the vending machine, on the bushes, etch. Basically anywhere with a blind spot enough to not get a single glimpse of my body.

I was so immersed in the role that I got carried away and ended up neglecting to check what time it already was.

"Oh crap, look at the time. I'm gonna be late!"

While making my way to school, I continuously tried to stay clear out of sight as much as I could. I hid among the bushes, the trees, and the back of vending machines, to etch.

Somewhere that has a blind area large enough to prevent even a passing glance at my body.

I was too absorbed with the assassin roleplay that I forgotten to keep track of the time.

"Oh crap. Look at the time. I'm gonna be late!"

I frantically ran as quickly I could after realizing how late it was already.

Desperate, I gone off tract and follow the route I mapped from previews experience as a shadow hero. [Basically, saying he knows the area like the back of his hand]

I messed up. A normal student shouldn't be late!

Being an assassin spends more time on finding hiding spots than I initially thought. I guess hiding amongst the crowds was the more efficient option after all.

Running the fastest I could, I dashed through an off-track route that wasn't even on the road anymore.

The path I'm taking is not really a real path. It was a series of houses/backyards that I'm passing through right now.

As I said earlier, I know this route like the back of my hand so I was already acquainted with the house owners so I don't think they'll get angry too much.

I'll apologize later.

As I hurried through the series of houses, passing through the final yard that would reconnect me back to the main road, which would lead me straight to school.

While dashing through the final obstacle, which was a tall bush fence. The moment I found my way through, at the same time, a girl with coral pink hair, with a slice of bread on her mouth was right behind the said fence made out of bush. But I wasn't aware of.

*Crash*

Before we knew it, we had already fallen on the ground after colliding with one another.

Her bread was knock out of her mouth and my hooded mantel, which got slightly entangled in the bushy fence had fallen and were now both already on the floor.

"-ch, what was that" It felt like I hit someone. Was my [Presence Detection] off?

When I came to, I saw a girl with pink hair and two large ribbon tied at both side of her head. Judging by the way she was sitting on the ground, she was most likely the person I bump into.

I did hit someone!

Still confused, the girl question as to what had happened just now.

Ouch, that hurt. What in the world was that?

I offered her my hand to help her stand up. Since it was my fault and all.

"Sorry. Are you alright?"

I asked the pink-haired girl sitting on the ground if she was okay.

A prince...?

And that is how things came to be.
