After getting a good night's rest, Mocha-san's adrenaline has already been emptied and practically reverted back to how she was acting before, with her social anxiety getting the best of her.

Or that was what it was supposed to happen.

Yesterday, she was able to manage to pass the day with resolve to face people due to her adrenaline rush triggered by our first encounter.

By first encounter, the shoujo like meeting by bumping into each other while running late for school with a toasted slice of bread on her mouth. That concept was called "The chance encounter"

Due to her plan to reenact the cliche "chance encounter" in real life. Mocha-san felt in that moment that today will seem to go in her way and at a state of adrenaline rush.

That is the reason as to why she was able to manage to go through the day with somewhat positivity.

It was also the time when I was playing the role of assassin and my identity of not being just a normal person was exposed.

After resting, Mocha-san realized that she did a lot of cringe worthy moments in yesterday round of events.

When Mocha-san woke up this morning.

"Why did I do that! I mean who's idiot was gonna run with bread on her mouth yell I'm late over and over! Although it worked out in the end though. But still!"

"Now that I think about it. Everytime I tried starting a conversation I didn't really manage any of them to land properly. It's always out of place and sounds forced."

"The worst of it all is how could I just spill my insecurities on a person I just met(Saito). I'm not even sure yet if he's a good person or not. If he turns out to be a bad person it coud definitely ended badly. But even if he's good. I can't just push my worries onto him. Ah, God! I definitely said too much! Ahrg, this is so embarrassing I want to crawl in hole somewhere to never be seen again"

She rolled over and over covering her face from embarrassment as she remembered every bit of things she did and insecure about. She over thinks her action thinking it was so cringe.

"Ugh! It so hard to be a shoujo heroine!"

Realizing what she did was embarrassing, she's still glad she did it anyways. Because in the end, the end results was probably the best she could get.

Because of those said interaction. Mocha-san gain even just a bit of confidence from yesterdays experience and appreciated it deeply.

It was due to yesterday's experience, she gained even just a little bit of confidence, having a small grasp of what it means to be social.

And to note, she even made a friend named Hitomi and the others seemed to accept her as well.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Mocha-san is now on her way to school.

"Luckily I won't be late this time. I even make sure to triple checked if I set the alarm correctly to avoid what happened last time."

I'll try to not put it in mute anymore as much as possible.

As Mocha-san is now walking her way to school. And on the next corner, she saw a familiar looking face that she was well aware of.

It's the prince! So he takes this rout huh...

We walked into each other purely by coincidence.

Mocha-san was the type of person to arrive at school on time to have the minimum interaction with others.

If she arrive too early, there's a good chance that someone will approach her, or if not, she'll look isolated and seem like a total loner seating all alone by herself.

She developed this habit of arriving at the exact time from her old school.

On the other hand, I planed to arrive on time to have the minimal questioning because there's a chance that a flock will form again like the fist time which I found tiring.
[Referring to his first appearance with a normal(handsome) look, acting as a side character]

T, this is my chance. My first time greeting someone I know in the morning.

Mocha-san tried practicing on me on saying good morning to other people.

"G-Good morning!"

She greeted me a little embarrassed while trying to give her greetings some energy.

I've always wanted to do this. How will he react. Was I too stiff on saying it?

"Good morning"

I replied to her with a smile.

He smiled at me?!

Mocha-san suddenly fell silent. She was confused as the vibe I was giving off right now is a whole lot different than it was yesterday.

This is part of Ayaka's training and a little help of Haruka-san's socialization skills. "Always reply with a smile" is what was part of the training.

Yesterday we decided to stick with the "perfect side character persona". That one I was acting on the first day.

Normally I don't greet anyone because I was trying to act edgy before. However, right now I'm acting as the "perfect side character" so I must act as normal as I could.

Mocha-san was then left confused as to why I was smiling, looking to be in a good mood as how approachable I seemed at the moment, which was intended.

What really made her confused was my sudden change of character. To Mocha-san, it was really strange if you were to compare it with how I was acting yesterday.

We then continued walking our way to school, leaving Mocha-san dumbfounded as to why I seemed to be acting so differently.
