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

CHAPTER 58: He's just cold but really caring?

The final bell rang and school was over for the day.

When changing to our regular shoes, Mocha-san's shoe locker was unexpectedly next to mine.

Well, the shoe locker beside mine was always empty so it will eventually be taken by someone so it wasn't much of a coincidence that Mocha-san was the one who took that one spot next to mine.
[No one wanted to be next to his locker from being the edgy, flashy and always seemed angry weirdo.]

Mr. Prince locker was next to mine. This is so lucky.

Wait, this is my chance to talk to him and thank him properly.

"B, By the way. Tha-Thank you!"

She timidly said and thanked me.

I did it. I said thank you to him.

I just there wondering what could it be about.

What was she thanking me for? But as a shadow hero, I should try to act like I know what she's talking about and pretend I didn't mind much but still implied that I receive and heard her thanks.

"Don't need it"

"...?"

Hmm... That came out unexpectedly rude. I should have said don't mention it but I guess it's too late to take it back now.

Mocha-san was troubled by how much I looked like I didn't care.

Did I messed up already?! He said it so naturally, does he hate being thanked?!

No, wait. He's the cold but caring type so that was probably not the case... right?

Mocha-san became unsure if I was really being bashful like the classic cold male lead or was I genuinely don't like being talked to.

We changed out of our normal shoes then wore our regular ones and proceeded walking.

Okay Mocha, lets attempt talking to him again.

Just before we started walking Mocha-san once again attempted to have a conversation with me.

"G-Goodbye"

She said while holding all her confidence.

I simply stared back at her for a moment without giving a reply.

He didn't even bother replying. So he really doesn't care after all huh... Was he really the same guy I thought who saved me earlier. The cold but caring type of person I assumed earlier.

The reason I didn't reply was because.

The moment we walked out of the school, Mocha-san and I started walking and we were heading on the same direction. Currently is still walking side by side with each other.

Hmm...(-_-) This is awkward. So this is probably why he didn't reply when I said goodbye...

We both left at the same time so I don't really think saying goodbye right there would be right. Also, as a shadow hero. I should also maintain my distance as to look shady.

But still... He could have said something. This is so not caring at all. In fact it's almost sadistic that I'm the only one feeling awkward for saying goodbye.

Mocha-san's vision of me as the classic shoujo male lead stepped back by a little.

She was thinking I should at least said something but instead stayed silent.

If I were to also replied goodbye to her earlier, at least we would feel the same awkwardness. But since she was the only one who said it, it does not affect me which was pretty sadistic if that were really my intentions.
