*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...

Eyepatch boy
