Juu Go: Chisana Robotto No Kaihatsu

Fifteen: Development Of Tiny Robots

Hiro really did want to forget about everything, so he figured that working on his Microbots might be a good idea. Building robots was a great way to take his mind off things that he wanted to forget. The showcase was only a few months away, so Hiro had to work extra hard if he ever wanted to get his project done in time.

The only problem was that Hiro had ben up for almost twenty four hours, and Tadashi stood at the top of the staircase, worried for him. "You know, you should really get some rest if you want your brain to function properly."

Hiro waved it off. "My brain is just fine. I can't be wasting time right now. I have to get this done."

Tadashi sighed. "I know you do, but all this stress isn't going to help anything."

"What stress? I'm not stressed. If anything, I'm far from it."

Tadashi could only sigh. "Hiro, I've known you for fourteen years, don't you think I'd know if you were stressed?"

Hiro stopped to think. "Huh, I never thought about it like that...Well, back to work."

Tadashi face palmed. "Hiro, I'm going to say this as your older brother and someone who loves you. If you don't get some rest right now, I'm going to carry you to your bed, or better yet, I'll get Baymax to do it. I'll even take pictures."

Hiro stood and sighed. "Fine, fine, I'm going." Tadashi smirked as he saw that he had one, and Hiro walked out of the room, annoyed. He figured that a victory snack was in order.

Tadashi was walking to his room for the kitchen, wanting to make sure Hiro was asleep. He opened the door, and what he saw, really shouldn't have surprised him at all. Hiro had snuck out of his bed and was probably downstairs again, working on his Microbots.

Tadashi went down there, only to find that his suspicions had been correct as he saw, Hiro, in the garage, working away.

"Uh, it's not what it looks like." He tried to defend.

Tadashi nodded. "Really? Because it looks like you snuck out of your room to work on your project."

Hiro only blinked. "Okay...so...It's exactly what it looks like."

"Hiro, just go to bed before you have a heart attack or something."

Hiro stood and scoffed. "Fine, I'm going. Again."

Hiro made his way to the room and Tadashi followed behind. Once Hiro stepped inside, Tadashi shut the door behind him, and Hiro could hear a clicking noise coming from a home made lock that Tadashi had installed to use whenever Hiro wouldn't stay put in his room. "Tadashi, what are you doing?!"

"You need rest Otouto, and it's my job to make sure you get it." He answered from the other side.

Hiro sighed, when all of a sudden, he shifted his eyes over to a device on his desk and an idea came to him. The device was meant to be something that could break locks on either side of a door. He smirked as he started carrying out his plan.

Tadashi sighed with relief that he was able to get Hiro to stay in bed. He was walking by the garage lab, when he heard an all too familiar voice. "Ugh, this isn't working!"

Tadashi's eyes widened upon hearing the voice, so he stepped inside the garage to find Hiro, out of bed, and working on his project again. This time, he didn't say anything. Tadashi just stood there, silently tapping his foot, waiting for an explanation. "I'm, uh, sleep inventing?"

Tadashi only sighed. "Seriously Hiro, that's the best you can come up with? How did you even get out this time?"

Hiro nervously scratched the back of his head. "Well, uh, you know that lock opening device I invented last month?"

Tadashi nodded slowly. "Yes?"

"Well, uh, I used that."

"Just get to bed."

"Alright, fine."

Hiro stood up for the third time that day and marched back to his room. Hiro entered the room and turned to face Tadashi, who was standing on the other side of the door frame. "Let me guess, you're going to lock me in here again, aren't you?"

Tadashi smiled and nodded, then shut the door, and Hiro could hear the lock click on the other side. "And not only am I going to lock the door, but I'm going to stand out here until I'm sure that you're asleep."

Hiro groaned. "You are such a Mother Hen."

Tadashi smirked on the other side. "It's what I do best."

Hiro silently looked around the room, trying to think of another way out. His eyes shifted over to the window. There was a chance that he could use it to escape, but he was on the second story, so he would have to use a ladder of some sort.

Luckily he had a robotic rope ladder at his disposal that he had invented a couple moths ago. He would have to be extra quiet though, since Tadashi was right on the other side, and could foil his escape plan. He grabbed the rope ladder and quietly started working on his next escape route.

Hiro had successfully climbed out of the window and had reached the garage from the outside. "Hah, that sucker."

He silently shut the door to the garage and went back to work. He took out his notebook and was only at it for a few minutes when he heard footsteps coming from outside. Hiro knew that he had to hide, or else Tadashi finding Hiro here again was going to look very bad. He immediately scurried over behind a bunch of old boxes and hid near a far corner.

Tadashi walked in, seeming a little annoyed. "I cannot believe he snuck out the window."

Hiro knew he would be hearing an earful of that later, but right now, his only priority was to stay silent and undiscovered. "Hmm, he doesn't seem to be in here. I wonder where he is then."

If Tadashi couldn't hear him, Hiro would be laughing right now. Instead he tried to stifle his laughs. Tadashi glanced over to the pile of boxes in which Hiro was hiding inside.

"Maybe he's in the kitchen." He said as he walked out the door, planning to continue his search elsewhere.

Hiro slowly crept out from behind the boxes and smiled in victory as he had not been discovered. He hurried over to his desk and continued working. At he was only working for a few minutes. "Ahem."

Hiro let out a surprised yelp as he turned around in his wheeled chair and came face to face with his elder brother, who had his arms crossed. "Uh, h-hey Tadashi, what's up?"

"Do you want to explain to me why you climbed out a freaking two story window?"

"You were standing at the door, I had no choice."

"Hiro, why won't you just go to bed?"

"Because I have a lot to get done. I mean, look at what I've accomplished these past twenty four hours."

He motioned to some boxes behind him, seeming to be filled with tiny metal things. "You made all these in twenty four hours?"

"Well, it took some time, but I was able to make this many today."

"Wow, this is incredible. But you still need sleep."

"I-I know, and I'll get some, but right now, I have work to do."

Hiro turned and went back to work while Tadashi stood. It was silent for about a minute. A thought ran through Tadashi's mind. "...Do you want to sleep in my bed?"

Hiro stopped working at those words. It was silent for a few more seconds, then Hiro slowly nodded. He stood and proceeded to their shared room. Tadashi had won this battle and soon, Hiro would have all the energy he needed to continue on with his project.
