*Hiroshi's Pov*
I let Yamada and Himeno inside my apartment for a little bit. Manaka wasn't keen on the idea of letting them stay but with a little convincing and a small promise to let her watch a Kung Fu movie. She agreed.
Yuma: Oh~! I smell something good~! What you guys making?
Ruri: Just ramen.
Yuma: Awww...Just ramen? How about we add a little...pizzazz~?
I swear if he has a bomb activated, I'm kicking him out.
Manaka: None of that please. Anyway, what do you two want now?
Noticing the slight rudeness in her tone, Seiya picked up in the conversation.
Seiya: We won't be here too long. We just need to talk to Hiroshi for a moment.
Manaka: You already did that.
Seiya: Yes. But...we have another pressing matter to talk about...
Manaka:.....Ruri-chan...
Ruri: Yes?
Manaka: Could you give us a moment?
Ruri: Huh? I can't be in this conversation?! What are you guys talking about?!
Manaka: Oh...It's just something that cute kids like you shouldn't be hearing.
Oh...I see what she's trying to do. Since Seiya is about to get all business-like with me, Manaka had caught on and was making sure what he had to say wouldn't fall on Ruri's ears. She's still young to understand these things.
Ruri made a pout at us.
Ruri: Hey! I'm not cute!
Yuma: Ha ha~! Don't worry Ruri-chan! You're not cute~!
....
Dude...
Ruri:....Eh?
Ruri looks at him a bit hurt. Seiya facepalms himself while Manaka muttered "idiot" underneath her breath.
Yuma:....What? What did I say...?
....There were just some things you're not supposed to say...especially to a little girl...
Me: Ruri. Don't worry about it. We're just talking for a moment. Could you please go check up on the ramen. I think I smell it overheating.
Ruri: Oh?...Oh!
She quickly ran to the small kitchen.
Now that she's gone. The four of us can resume our conversation.
Me: What is it you wanted to tell me...?
Seiya's prince charming smile fell from his face as it turned to a look of seriousness.
Seiya: Hey...You remember our old classmate, Tomoki Tanaka....
Me: Ah....
Manaka:....
Tomoki...Formally known as...Eyepatch boy...
