Chapter 4.

Days later, the board staff received a call from Keitaro and Naru. Shinobu who answered, before passing the message to everyone.

Shinobu: We'll meet with Keitaro and Naru in 3 days, in a resort where they are staying. There's even a pool!

Mei: pool? I love pool!

Kanako: In this case, we'd better go pack our things.

All were out there and get your stuff, but when Shinobu was going to do the same, felt Yoko poking her.

Shinobu: *confused* You have a problem, Yoko?

Yoko: *embarrassed* Well... yes. I wonder... er... Shinobu, what is a pool?

Silence.

Shinobu: *wide eyes* You don't know what is a pool?

Yoko: I've heard people talk of going to the pool, but never seen one.

Shinobu: Well .. er ... Pool is here as the thermal bath of the pension, but much larger and the room temperature.

Yoko: *crossing their arms, seriously* I'll be able to enter, no?

Shinobu: *bursting into laughter* Of course, Yoko! Swimming pool is public!

Yoko: What I need to take to the resort?

Shinobu: Come on, I'll help you.

Meanwhile...

Mei: Hey Sarah, I'll make a bet with you on this vacation.

Sarah: *curious* What?

Mei: Before returning to pensions, Yoko will fall on my charm.

Sarah: *worried* Are you sure you want to make a bet like that? Yoko is a tough kid.

Mei: *confident* If my sister, before marriage, was able to make any man interested in her, I can too. If I fail, I paid 2000 yen. If I can, you pay me 2000 yen.

Sarah: Okay, I accept. But I'm warning: you you aren't the only interested in Yoko. Emma is interested too.

Mei: It seems that Emma will draw the attention of Yoko before me. *falling out laughing* Even using a plastic!

Sarah: Creed, Mei, you are cruel!

Mei: I'm just realistic, Sarah. Emma isn't paired to me. I gain the heart of Yoko, and any other kid, before they even know her name.

The two walked away, not realizing that Emma had heard everything from her room. At the moment, was leaning against the bedroom door in a fetal position, crying.

Ema: *crying* Mei is right. No guy would look at me, even if she wasn't there to get their attention.

3 days later, they all went to the resort, where he reunited with Keitaro and Naru. The two were surprised when they saw Yoko, but Motoko explained everything. Sure Naru wasn't thrilled by Kitsune have hidden her she had a son... mainly the left.

Naru: * irritated, but keeping the calm tone * Lucky you that your son is alive, otherwise I slam fill.

Everyone was divided into quarters: Naru and Keitaro, Kaolla and Motoko, Shinobu and Kitsune, Kanako and Ema, Mei and Mutsumi, Sarah and Yoko. After their things fixed up, everyone went swimming.

Each to swim, others to take the sun... or do something else, in the case of Yoko.

He recorded one more picture in your notebook, this time the pool, sitting on a "chair-bed".

Yoko: *designing, impressed* So that's a pool... Exactly as described Shinobu, only much better than the spa! Huh?

Yoko noticed that Emma was sitting in a fetal position in chair-bed next to him and she seemed upset.

Yoko: *curious* What's the problem?

Emma tried to disguise with a smile, but Yoko had already noticed that something wasn't right. Mainly because her eyes were swollen.

Yoko: *pulling* She must have been crying for some reason. *stare* If you are trying to convince me you are fine, it's not working. Why you don't tell me the problem?

Emma stopped pretending, but didn't answer. Just say anything after a few seconds.

Ema: *blank stare* You hate girls, Yoko-san?

Yoko: *surprised* I wasn't expecting that question. Ahn... well... Not that I don't like them, it's just that... I am afraid of being rejected in the same way that my "supposed" mother rejected me. But why did you ask that?

Emma: It's just... I want to ask advice to help a friend. I knew a girl, M-chan, bet with her friend, S-chan, a guy, Y-kun, would be falling for her before the holidays are over. She isn't alone in pursuing this guy, but isn't worried because my friend and rival, E-chan, isn't paired to her, even if it would ever make a bet to win the Y-kun. If you were him, would be interested in M-chan?

After "translate" all that Emma spoke, Yoko gave his answer.

Yoko: *seriously* Not. I know this kind of woman makes the man fall to his feet and then gets rid of him like old shoe. If him were me, I would be with the E-chan.

Emma blushed with the answer, but disguised, but Yoko has noticed a smile on the girl's face before she went away. But was only when he was alone that understand what Emma said.

Yoko: How not to notice that E-chan was Emma? She was asking for advice to help herself, not a friend! *confused* So who is M-chan, S-chan and Y-kun?

Yoko felt a pang. He didn't realize he was jealous of Emma because of the Y-kun, not knowing it was him.
