Get Close To Her

After sometime, shouta seem bored, so he went back to his room.

'Hmm, maybe he wanna playing game?' thought izumi.

Kyouko say. "By the way miyamura."

"What?"

"Why did you look nerd at school?" kyouko asked izumi curiously.

"Hmm, image change?" Izumi ask back. But only get glared by kyouko.

"Uhh. how should I say." Izumi can't explain to her as he just scratch his head.

"So, is it because of piercing? why did you pierced your ears anyway?" Asked kyouko.

"This." Izumi sigh, then explain to her. "Well, it could be considered as my dark side in middle school."

Kyouko just listen and not interupt him. Izumi continue "In middle school. I'm usually quiet and didn't interacted with people that much. And maybe because of that, finally someone mocked me. He even told the people around to not go near me because I'm too dark. well, I don't care though. Since they only look someone from the outside, someone like that doesn't deserve to be called friend. As for piercing, it's because youth I guess, hehehe."

Heard what izumi said about his middle school, kyouko look at him doubtfully.

"If you said something like that, does that mean you don't have a friend?"

"Ughh." Izumi couldn't denied of what kyouko said.

"As I expected. You don't have friend."

"Well, what do you prefer, hori-san?" izumi changed subject.

"What do you mean?"

"Are you prefer my look like this?" said izumi pointed at himself. His hair tied up into a small ponytail, just like his usual casual appearance.

"____"

Kyouko blushed and she wasn't sure how to react.

'How could he said something so shameless. it's really so embarrassing.'

"Do you want to see me in this look at school?" Suddenly izumi ask curiously.

Then she looking down, her face also still red from embarrassment and she say with low voice.

"I don't want anyone to know about this side of you."

Even though kyouko said with low voice, izumi still heard what she said.

'Ah, how cute she is. I feel like I want to hug her now' thought izumi with grinning from ear to ear.

Kyouko take a sneak peak, but only seeing izumi grinning at her. This sudden unexpected situation made her want to bury deep her head as she covered her face with her hands.

'Ah, he heard me. How embarrassing'

Izumi want to tease her more but he decided to stop as he doesn't want to crack this progress to get her.

"Ah wait a moment."

Izumi felt the charged lacrima in his hand already filled. So he began to fully assemble his drone. Other than voice command system, izumi also made smartphone application in order to controlling the drone manually or voice command. Well, he could use voice command without application, but he couldn't if the drone is to far. So he decided to made that application.

His advance knowledge and his nano brain chip is very well used. After izumi bought advance technology knowledge, the thing like simple smartphone application could be made effortlessly by him.

Kyouko take a sneak peek to izumi. She feel he looks cool when he is focused.

'I didn't notice before, it turns out that Izumi's eyelashes is long like a girl' said kyouko in her mind. But then she notices something like black line on his sleeve. She tried to approach him which made izumi surprised.

"What is it, hori-san?" asked izumi.

"What is that black thing in your arm?" said kyouko curiously with pointing at izumi sleeve. Usually it covered by his sleeves. So the others wouldn't notice it.

"Ah, this?" Then izumi lift up his sleeves.

"A tattoo?" kyouko was surprised after seeing the tattoo on his left hand.

"Not only piercing, you even have a tattoo. What kind of life did you live in middle school??" kyouko shook her head with a palm covering her face.

"Well, as I said before, It's Youth." Then he pose a thumbs up, wink, and winning smile.

Kyouko look at him speechlessly.

"Done. Where is souta?" asked izumi with drone in his hand as he done assembling his drone.

"Should I call him?" then izumi nodded.

Few moments later souta come.

"Wow big brother, your aircraft?" asked souta.

"Yup, wanna try?"

"I want, I want!"

"Alright let's go to the yard!" said izumi to kyouko and souta. Three of them went to the yard. Looking at the dark sky with frown. then he sigh.

"I should install lighting on my drone too." murmur izumi.

"what is it?" kyouko asked.

"Nope, Just thought about to add something for this thing." izumi pointing at his drone.

"You are amazing to make something like this by your self." praised kyouko.

"Don't praise me like that hori-san, I'll blush you know?" said izumi in confidence.

"Shameless" kyouko twitch because she annoyed by his words.

"Souta, look at this" then izumi shows him how to control the drone using application in his smartphone. The controller is similliar to playstation joystick, but with touch screen and without right analog, arrow button. The buttons also same. Izumi explained to souta, X for accelerate, Square for decelerate, Triangle for turn on or turn off the engine and O Still empty command which he will use for drone's weapon. R1 and L1 for rotate, R2 and L2 for flying upward and downward, left analog for turning, select button for camera, and start button for option. And lastly, the screen displaying the view of drone's camera.

"Woah, it's so cool big brother." said souta.

"I know, Right."

"I never know something like this, how do you have that." said kyouko with pointing her hand to the screen.

"Oh, you mean this application? Well i just made it yesterday." then he continue to guide souta.

'How amazing, first is the drone, second is that application. he made it himself. I know it's weird, but why I didn't see his name in the rank, he should be the smart right?' thought kyouko as she herself puzzled by izumi. She look at souta who is happily piloting the drone, and then look at izumi guiding souta with smile on his face.

"Miyamura"

"Hmm?" izumi turn his head toward kyouko who called him.

"With how you made these, you should be smart right? But why I didn't see your name on the top score list?" What kyouko mean is the list of the score in entrance exam.

"_________" How Izumi could answer that question. Izumi couldn't say that he didn't have that ability back then. He don't want to lie at her. so he say dejectedly

"Well, I had hard time at that moment. Sorry I can't say right know. If the time is right, I'll tell you."

"I see, it must be hard for you. Don't worry, you don't have to tell me if you don't want to." kyouko reassuring him. While Izumi just smile lightly at her.

After some more time, izumi bid farewell. And souta, always wanted him to play next time. Izumi just agreed but not tomorrow since he will be busy for mission. The drone is also work perfectly after tested by souta. So what left right now is something to travel tommorow.
