Insensitive Bocchi-kun ~Reluctantly Heading to School Today~ [Dropped] - Chapter 30: Let It Be

Chapter 30: Let It Be

“Mamiya-kun, can you come to my house today as well? I’ll be making some delicious sweets just for you.”

Alice approached me as she brought her face close to mine. How kind of her… She has been taking notice of me since earlier.

“Really, I’m always being helped by Mamiya-kun, so let me cheer you up.”

Thank you…

“Thank you, but I have work today.”

“I-I see. B-but please cheer up, okay. I’m on your side.”

However, the truth’s that I lied about having work today. 

I truly appreciate her concern, but today I want to be alone. 

I’m sorry. 

With words of gratitude in my heart, I once again lower my head onto the desk. 

As the sound of footsteps fades away, I no longer feel Alice’s presence quietly.

Should I leave early now…? 

As I ponder over this, I feel a tap on my back. Is it Alice again? 

However, when I raised my head quietly, I saw that it was not Alice standing there, but Yamamoto.

“M-Mamiya-kun, cheer up.”

She was also worried about me… But right now, that kindness hurts.

“I-I asked the teacher if it’s possible to change groups… but it seems it’s decided by drawing lots, so it can’t be done. S-Sorry.”

Why are you apologizing? 

There’s no reason for Yamamoto to apologize. 

Wait, does Yamamoto dislike her current group too? 

She did seem lifeless… 

Perhaps my group members are also protesting to the teacher… 

The teacher must be having a hard time too.

“M-Mamiya-kun, you shouldn’t worry about it. I-I’m always here to listen if you need to talk.”

She reassured me, holding onto both of my hands tightly.

“Thank you…”

If she continues to show such kindness, I might burst into tears. 

Moreover, I wish she would release my hand now. 

With that thought in mind, I shifted my gaze to meet her eyes.

“A-Ah, s-sorry for taking so long.”

No. I’m sorry.

Once again, I expressed my gratitude to her and lowered my head onto the desk.

Why are they all so kind to me? 

I’m used to being alone… 

It feels like my heart is breaking even more.

But, regardless… 

I have no choice but to continue. 

I don’t want to run away… 

I’ll endure the three days and two nights until the end.

Beep. 

As I silently made this resolution, the sound of a LINE message notification reached my ears. 

Who could it be…? 

Quietly, I retrieved my smartphone from my pocket.

: I’m sorry too. Next time, I’ll come to see you with moderation.

It’s Shibuya-san. 

At this moment… Well, I’m relieved to see that her mood seems to have improved.

And… she plans to visit again. 

Why…? 

But for now, I’ll just let things be…
