Little Hearts in Your Heart
Chapters 25. Conversations and Secrets
A week before the bunka-sai, Miki and Kaori, who were caught ditching to watch the shoot, must be punished. Both were asked to clean the school swimming pool to be used for swimming lessons.
“That's because you forced yourself to go,” Miki tried to snap Kaori's grunt.
“That's because Niichan last night asked, are we going to go watch it today,” Kaori's sentence was responded to as a contrived excuse by Miki. “Eh,” he exclaimed, “I didn't lie. I thought Niichan wanted you to come see it.”
Miki remembers she had no business with Kyo.
“If I see, I can feel Oniichan curious about you, Miki-nee,” Kaori seems to think hard. “And he wants to know more about you. What say?”
Miki sighed, as her hands did not stop pushing the broom, “wasn't it because you called me to your house so often? Let's not let him know we're after him.”
Kaori turned the eyeball, not wanting to approve. And suddenly his exclamation rang out, making Miki shocked. “I have an idea, Sensei,” he said and made Miki suspect that the action would not make sense. “I'm sure this will be something with the conflict of the novel you want to write.”
“So?” Miki asked casually, though she immediately put on an ear.
“What if you declare your love to one of the men in public,” Kaori's voice rises, after mentioning the names of the men who once showed her concern for Miki. “That day I will call Niichan to come to our school festival event.”
“No,” Miki immediately refused. “It's embarrassing. After all, there is no way that Kyo-san came to this event, if it gets caught by people, it will bother him a lot.”
“Oh, Miki-nee,” Kaori pointed at herself, “aku is her sister. And not only that, I will tell you something that will upset her, like Miki-nee and her men.”
Miki bit her lip, there was no way Kyo would pay more attention to her. But he was really curious. He sighed, “so to whom?”
“Take it easy, trust me, Redy sensei,” exclamations Kaori and throws away the origin of the broom held by her. “I'll look for popular students.”
Miki chuckled, looking at Kaori's back which looked very excited. He who intended to continue the punishment, stopped, when he found the man who emerged from the trailing behind the swimming pool. “Hide?”
“I'm hiding from friends." Hide quickly added, "sorry,” he said scratching his head, indicating he had been there since.
“So Miki-chan is Redy-sensei,” Hide repeats, the smile on her face expands. “How can? So Redy-sensei is still a high school student?”
“Ah, no,” Miki tried to answer honestly. “I have a little business, so have to go back to school,” the sentence is certainly quite clearly accepted by Hide who immediately concluded.
“Then, can I help you?” Hide looked at Miki expectantly.
Miki touched his chin, recalling his draft in his idea book. “There's one thing you can do,” he found a beaming face Hide, “can you like me?”
It didn't take a second for Hide to give his approval, while outside the entrance to the pool, Yoko was surprised when Kaori patted him on the shoulder.
“What are you doing here, Yoko-chan?”
“That,” Yoko points to origin, “sensei says you guys can rest.”
Kaori quickly gives the info, making Miki and Hide aware of her whereabouts and Yoko who just lowered her head, is silent.

The night after the school festival, Miki arrived home, and immediately threw her body on the bed. He's tired. The end of his appearance earlier at the closing ceremony, unpredictable, he did not even expect Hide would show his anger. Aki's face was also still on her mind. Including, Kyo who he thought would approach, but instead went away.
Miki closed her eyes. But a second later, he moved to his desk, turned on the laptop. Words flowed from his finger. Next, he chuckles, “will this be a reverse harem?” He breathed, stopped
typing for a while, instead of asking who will be chosen by the designer, he even said “entah how the fate of this girl later?”
