Miss Maid
Investigatory
Today Naoki tries to be ordinary and not disturb Ryuuga as usual because today also he will run a secret mission for himself— errata more precisely with Arata. Naoki noticed Ryuuga within a few hours of his change of attitude, he also seemed to not care about anything. No Wonder.
"Oi, Ryuu."
"Hn?" Ryuuga was still engrossed in the novel before him.
"Me and Arata are training again for tomorrow's game."
"Hn"
"I'll go first. Jaa ne~" Naoki still stands as if expecting that Ryuuga will notice and close the novel in his hands.
"Hn" Naoki's brows twitched in annoyance, not knowing that Ryuuga's attitude was getting colder on him. Ryuuga did not even feel suspicious at all. Naoki should have been happy but at this moment he was upset for nothing.
Naoki and Arata were already out of class about to head to the gymnasium because they had to train in earnest, they would compete for two more days in the name of the school. Arata glanced at Naoki with an astonished look, the man beside him walking while grumbling furiously like a child.
"Oi, what's going on?"
"Huh? What?!" asked Naoki ferociously which made Arata both surprised and scared. He slightly rewinded his face as Naoki glared at her.
"You seem to be upset. What Ryu—" had not had time for Arata to finish his words, Naoki hurriedly interrupted him with full force.
"What?! Do I look upset?! I'm just plain mediocre. You're the only one who wants to say that. Basic sucks." Naoki said so fiercely that it made Arata confused and tense to be next to Naoki's 'Galak.. She was like a hen's mother Arata while gulping. To be honest Arata already knew what upset him half to death but finally he decided to shut up and not ask anything more but along the way they were accompanied by an unclear grunt that came out from Naoki's mouth.
"Isn't it better that Ryuuga doesn't realize your plan? Why do you even look upset? Strange." said Arata who could not bear to hear Naoki continue to grumble along the way.
"You're the only one who doesn't understand! He was not unaware but rather on not caring at all! I felt it was a waste to do a mission in secret! Don't you understand how I feel?! I feel like a fool! Aaa!!" naoki said as he ruffled his hair in frustration, looking exaggerated but Arata understood Naoki's intentions. 'Ah you are indeed a fool, you fool' Inner Arata while looking at Naoki with a veiled face.
"I don't want to see you anymore. I just want to go home." said Arata with a bored sigh.
"Currently you are completely inconsiderate!" naoki said while grumbling furiously
"Maa ne.."
"Just after you're done with our rehearsal, you're gonna have to take me to that kouhai class!"
"Hi' hai' wakatta... Hoaammm" replied Arata while yawning widely, he was actually not interested at all but Naoki continued to terrorize him in various ways that disturbed his life welfare. It would feel like hell to let Naoki continue to interfere with his precious days. 'I want my peace back.. Hah, I want to sleep comfortably' Arata's mind has gone somewhere, his sense of happiness has been snatched since Naoki continues to stick to him due to the preparation of the basketball game as well as taking care of the affairs between Naoki and Ryuuga. Complicated? sure, sucks? don't ask, Arata feels his youth has been wasted.
Soon after, they reached the sports hall, Naoki and Arata changed into sports uniforms. The exercise continues until noon.
"Yosha this time I have to train seriously to finish faster and continue the mission!!" exclaimed Naoki in the dressing room to attract so much attention of other members.

Sienna was confused to rearrange the arrangement of items in the kitchen that was in a mess. The sweat on his forehead began to drip down his chin then down his white neck. Sienna is not without reason to do this because Nanami is coming home this afternoon and that means the kitchen should be in a state worth looking back at. He could not wait to welcome Nanami.
"Hm.. This is where I should put it." muttered Sienna while lifting the vase located in the middle of the long dining table. He did not realize that Reiji was standing behind him while observing the work he was doing alone. Reiji reviewed the smile on his thin lips and then walked a few steps closer to Sienna who was still busy with her vase. "Tadaima, Sienna-san.." said Reiji who stood not far from Sienna to make the crossbreed girl jump in shock, fortunately the vase was not out of his grasp.
"Jeez, O-okaerinasai Reiji-sama." Sienna immediately turned around and looked at Reiji while being stared at instead chuckling a little at Sienna shocked expression.
"Haha forgive me, I surprised you huh.. I didn't mean it."
"Ah iie, Reiji - sam. I'm too focused on this vase to not hear if you're home." replied Sienna with a big smile
"Oh? What are you doing?"
"Ano.. I was tidying up the items that were in the kitchen, Reiji-sama. I thought if I cleaned it up maybe Nanami-san would like it." Sienna replied still with her sincere smile. Seeing Sienna smile made Reiji smile.
"You're so nice.. Oh right, Nanami ba-san is going home this afternoon huh.. So, can I help you?" tawar Reiji was instantly reciprocated with a headband.
"Ti-can't, Reiji-sama. I can do it myself, you please just rest." Sienna slightly bent her body then she again jerked "Gomennasai, Reiji-sama. I was too busy cleaning the kitchen. Do you want to eat? I'll make ses—"
"No need, I'm still full. I came home too soon anyway, my breakfast was still gripped."
"Eh? Haha..."
"Hey, why are you laughing?"
"Ahaha not Reiji-sama. So, don't you want a break? It's very dusty here, an—"
"I want to be here. Oh yeah, you haven't received your salary, have you?" reiji asked with a smile
"Eh? Be-right, Reiji-sama..."
"Wait a minute, I'll get you. You just keep cleaning it."
"Hi' Arigatou gozaimasu, Reiji-sama." Sienna bowed respectfully to Reiji. After that Reiji left the kitchen, leaving Sienna alone who was still standing with a vase of flowers in his hand. Sienna smiled happily, her heart was also happy. "Yokatta's.. Arigatou Kami-sama's. Kaa-san I can finally pay for your treatment.." Sienna held onto her chest, she was so grateful to be able to hold on to her new job. Sienna placed the ornamental flower on the table and brought the vase to the sink to wash. "Hm, it's clean!!" sienna said cheerfully.
"Well, you look really happy" said Reiji who had been sitting on a chair for a while propping up his chin.
"E-uh? G-gomennasai.." Sienna lowered her head in embarrassment, not realizing that her master was watching her from earlier. "A-ano Reiji-san.."
"Hm? What's up?"
"May I fill this vase with flowers in the garden?"
"Hm? Go ahead, it's good if the flowers really have a good smell."
"Wakatta.."

"It's so hot!" moaning Naoki while wagging his sports jerseys that have been soaked by sweat.
"That's it. You're not coming?"
"Where? I'm so tired."
"I want to take a shower. After that hurry up and meet Ryuuga's girlfriend."
"Oh yes! I almost forgot. Ayoooo we go~!!" Naoki immediately ran while embracing Arata's neck and made it difficult to walk.
"Keep your hands away from me! You're full of sweat, you disgusting shit!" nagel Arata while throwing Naoki's hand quite rough.
"Duh do not sell expensive like that Arata~" said Naoki who brought his face closer to Arata with a mocking facial expression
"Kieroo!"
*have
"Arata-kun~" called Naoki in a female-style seductive tone
"Hen na yatsu." Arata glared at Naoki
*basic of weirdos
Arata snorted in annoyance and resignedly as Naoki continued to harass him. Arata speeds up his steps so that his suffering due to Naoki's disorder is soon over. He wants to quickly get to Aiko, the girl Naoki is looking for to find out everything about his best friend, Ryuuga. 'Why should I get involved in the relationship between the two of them? Oh my God I must have been cursed.' complained Arata in his heart, he cursed himself. Although Arata said that only for certain moments especially when he felt depressed by the existence of the noisy creature that was currently walking beside him.
After they finished bathing and changed their uniforms again, they walked to the locker to put their sports jerseys. They also walked towards
"Ne, Arata."
"Hm, what's wrong?" asked Arata in a lazy tone
"What do you think Aiko is? Is she pretty? Ah must be pretty. How could Ryuu choose a mediocre girl."
"Iie' I think he's just ordinary. Not ugly and not beautiful. Maybe that girl can change Ryuuga."
"Souka?! Hm, it seems like there should be something I ask the girl. Do I have to do a spy stunt?" naoki asked himself as he rubbed his chin
"You're crazy, aren't you? Don't overdo it like that, you fool."
"Maa ne, I should really research what kind of girl is close to Ryuu. I won't let a bad girl get close to him!"
"Whatever it is, I really don't care.."
A few minutes later they had arrived right in front of class X-2, a girl class named Aiko. Naoki's arrival actually attracted a lot of attention from their junior girl until the classroom door became crowded. Even Arata really could not see the road because it was too narrow. 'Damn, it seems the time is wrong' Arata said in his heart. Fortunately, she was tall enough to see a girl walking towards her class carrying a few stacks of books, a calm-faced girl with my eyes. Arata patted Naoki on the shoulder. "That's it." pointed Arata and Naoki to follow his finger toward the girl who was trying to find a way into his class.
"classroom.. Gone.." muttered the girl while looking back and forth but still found no way in.
Naoki snorted softly and then spread his big smile to the junior girls who were swarming around him and Arata.
"Excuse me yes, Ojou-sama tachi~ I'm on business. You guys hurry in before sensei comes."
*Ojou-sama tachi: ladies and gentlemen
"Hee?? Though we still wanted to chat with senpai.." disappointed expressions began to be heard from the girls
"Well forgive me, next time we'll move on again. Please enter~" Naoki lets the girls in and they obey the idol's wishes and indirectly, Naoki has helped Aiko find a way for her to enter. Aiko raised her eyebrows when she could already see Arata and Naoki in front of her class.
"Arata-senpai, why are you in front of my class?" ask Aiko to Arata
"Aa, I'm just dropping off this kid. She wants to see you." replied Arata while pointing at Naoki with his chin, Aiko finally wanted to look at Naoki with her expressionless face.
"You must have known me, right? I'm Uchida Naoki." Naoki said as he showed his smile that many girls liked but did not grow in front of this girl.
"Watashi no namee wa Mizuhara Aiko desu. What's it gonna take for Senpai to look for me?" aiko asked politely but was impressed. Naoki seemed to see a small part of Ryuuga's self in the girl, upsetting her.
"Did?" Naoki was slightly surprised by Aiko's attitude, she was not much different from Ryuuga. 'To the point once he's this.' Naoki's inner self while scratching his non-itchy nape. "Came ano.. I wanted to ask something about Ryuuga." hearing Ryuuga's name called, the girl gasped in shock even to the point of buying when Naoki looked serious about his goal.
"Sorry Senpai, it looks like you should go back to your class. I'll start studying soon too." Aiko walks past Naoki and is about to go inside but Aiko's hand is immediately restrained by Naoki.
"Chotto. I really am asking you for help! Besides, Arata and I got a dispensation letter for today. Please." Naoki said with a hopeful look
*Wait a minute
"But I don't, senpai. Next time sa—"
"I'll ask your subject teacher for permission this afternoon." sahut Arata quickly so that Aiko can no longer evade because the two young men in front of him look like they will do something beyond reason that will make him involved in the problem if he rejects it. Aiko let out a long sigh and finally followed her senpai towards the quiet library room of visitors.
After Arata received permission from Aiko's teacher, he immediately followed Naoki to the library to observe what Naoki would do after he heard the answer to his question.
"So, what do you want to ask me, Uchida-senpai?"
"Yare-yare.. You can't make small talk." Naoki said, chuckling softly.
*yare-yare: oh my goodness, my goodness
"That's your purpose." Naoki frowned, he then glanced at Arata who was sitting next to him and of course did not care about the two of them. It seems like Arata is going to fall asleep right now.
"Hi' hai' wakatta.. Are you still Ryuuga's lover?"
"Hm you could say that but I don't want to remember it."
"uh? Actually was... How was she doing when she was with you?"
"Obviously, he's still the Ryuuga everyone knows. Is there anything suspicious about me?"
"Ah.. No. gabe.. Uh.. Yes, just a little. How long have you been dating her?"
"I don't even remember it well. Why why?"
"Ehm, look.. She has never dated all this time, Ryuuga said you guys have been dating for 3 months" said Naoki who made Aiko look down and she smiled.
"Hee Sou desu ka? I just found out.." somehow Aiko showed her fake smile as Naoki floated a slightly piercing statement to her heart.
"Surely you have something Ryuuga is looking for, right? It should be like that." Naoki's remark invited Arata's annoyance. Arata quickly snapped Naoki's head until the owner complained of pain. Aiko widened her eyes when she heard Naoki's expression.
"Ittee... Nan da ome wa?!" naoki asked, he glared at Arata who seemed to not care about what he had just done to him.
*Ittee(bhs non raw from Ittai: sick)
*Nan da omae wa: what the fuck are you
"Your mouth is very careless." Arata replied with his sharp eyes, he then looked at Aiko who still looked surprised. "Ano saa, suman na Aiko. Naoki didn't mean to offend you. He actually just wanted to ask, do you have any way of acting in front of Ryuuga?" he continued, grunting softly after seeing Naoki who grumbled was unclear because he did not accept it with his voice.
"I understand, senpai.." replied Aiko without removing her smile, Arata who was sensitive to changing attitudes and situations frowned confusedly. He slightly analyzed the look on Aiko's face, of course he was hiding something that he had not told anyone.
"Then? What about the answer?"
"Tck, you're patient!" ketus Arata
"Huh?! What do you mean?!" finally Arata and Naoki clashed with sharp gazes, they also argued with greatness.
"You yourself have a smart brain, the number 3 of our generation, but unfortunately you're so stupid! Mouthed and insensitive to circumstances!"
"What did you say?! At least I still have a passion for life and not like you who transformed into a half koala human! Arata Kusso!"
*kusso: a rude swearing (or author-,-)
"At least I'm still better than you! I'm more able to interact with people than you are! Naoki no aho!"
*aho: a language that's rougher than stupid
"Huh?! What did you say?! I can't hear!" Naoki thrust his ear in front of Arata's face, he deliberately opened his ears wide to make Arata growled, the crossbow already appeared on Arata's forehead. "Kusso!"
"Anatatachi, yamete!" snapped Aiko firmly, she gave death glare to her senpai to stop them from arguing.
*All of you, please stop!
"....." they both fell silent when they heard Aiko's voice. They looked at the girl at the same time.
"Our business is over and there's nothing I need to explain anymore. I missed the material today. Then, excuse me." Aiko got up from the chair and stepped out of the library
"Cho—"
"Alright, Naoki. We don't have to stop it."
"But I have to get my answer!"
"Just you do that. He will still choose silence rather than tell you who incidentally is Ryuuga's best friend. Where could he open up to you."
"But—"
"Are you unconscious? Every time you ask a question, the answer he gives is always full of doubt and uncertainty."
"Eh? It's true, though.." Naoki looked at the ceiling of the library while thinking hard.
"I'm sure he himself was confused as well. Something he's hiding. This is just my guess, I think Ryuuga treats Aiko as well as she treats other girls."
"You're wrong. If that was so then why would Ryuuga be able to last for 3 months with her?"
"Are you sure about that? Have you seen her or heard Ryuuga talk about Aiko before?"
"Hm it doesn't seem. Uh wait a minute. Something seems strange."
"Darou ne's? How many girls has Ryuuga dumped?"
*real, right?
"Sou! Massaka..!"
*Yes! What don't-don't..!
"If you think the same thing as me, then our answer is the same. It could be that their relationship lasted a long time because Ryuuga left it alone without giving any certainty about their relationship. Ryuuga has already dumped many who approached him."
"But does Aiko not have any privileges? Ryuuga approached her because there was something interesting about her right?"
"I can't answer it. Besides, if you keep pushing her, she won't answer you honestly."
"at least.. I need to know something that made Ryuuga stick with her. Aiko must be a very special girl, right?" Naoki still continued to insist on wanting to get his answer that very day. But Arata did not budge, he remained sitting while folding both hands in front of the chest.
"Either.. I'm not sure. Yes, Naoki."
"What?"
"Since when did Ryuuga develop his pent-up talent?"
"...huh..?" Naoki raised his eyebrows, put on his stupid look and tried to think of the answer. "Argh.. I don't even remember anything. I also don't know since when he became like that but for sure he is increasingly not concerned with the opinions of others." Naoki said while scratching his head
"If only you could investigate or remember the past events of the two of you, maybe you'd find a reason why Ryuuga became a big badboy like he is today."
"You're right.. But my memory is so weak."
"That's not your real problem."
"uh? Then what?"
"You're just insensitive to your surroundings. You're having trouble knowing something. Yes, you only know that Ryuuga's change in facial expression meant reflecting on his heart at that moment."
"Are I really like that?"
"Do I look like I'm joking?"
"Souka..." Naoki looked down deeply, clenched both his hands beside his body, a sense of disappointment in himself beginning to permeate his brain.
"Saa now I ask for my reward" Arata said as he stood up from his chair, he looked at Naoki who immediately raised his head again and looked back at him with a confused look.
"What do you mean?!"
"I've helped you a lot. I deserve to receive a reward, right?"
"J-so what do you want?"
"Don't disturb my calm again. I'm tired of listening to your babble every day. I want my free time back."
"Sih you still have time to say me!"
"Hm I don't care. Now I want to sleep."
"Yes, yeah. I get it."
"Let's get out of here."
