609 The Returned Letter

"Eh?!"

Miharu looked extremely surprised. She didn't expect her sister to ask her a question like that.

Could her sister see what she was thinking?

Before she could answer, Mafuyu continued: "If you like him, I won't mind, so you don't have to worry about me using my status as a teacher to prevent you from being together."

"Shuchi'in Academy doesn't prohibit love, so don't worry about it."

This was her carefully considered response.

Judging from Miharu's attitude and behavior towards Ren lately, she basically believed that her sister did have thoughts about him.

Otherwise, there was no way to explain Miharu's unusual behavior lately.

As an older sister, she felt like she knew her younger sister very well.

"???"

Miharu's mind was in chaos, and she didn't understand what her sister meant by this.

Wasn't Ren her sister's boyfriend?

Why did her sister say she wouldn't mind being with him?

Too strange?

Could it be...

"Onee-sama, have you broken up with Ren-san?" Miharu asked eagerly.

If so, that's great!

Although it's not good to snatch her sister's boyfriend like this, for her, no matter what happens.

"???"

Hearing this, Mafuyu was stunned.

What did she mean she and Ren broke up?

They have never been together, just the simplest teacher-student relationship.

After a long time, she asked, "Strange. Miharu, why do you think Kamikawa-san and I are a couple?"

"Onee-sama, what do you mean by this?"

Miharu heard something wrong.

"Kamikawa-san and I only have a teacher-student relationship, not a couple like you think." Mafuyu clarified.

"How could it be? Onee-sama, please don't lie to me. It's like this."

Miharu still didn't believe.

"Wrong. He and I are not lovers." Mafuyu said seriously, "I don't need to hide something like this from you."

Seeing her like this, Miharu was finally shaken.

"If Onee-sama and he are not a couple, how do you explain the couple mug in the kitchen?"

"I attended a coworker's wedding and my colleague gave it to me."

"Then, Onee-sama, why did you say he put the can opener somewhere when you couldn't find it?" She kept asking her questions.

"The last time he came to my house to help, he used the can opener."

"Onee-sama, why did you say that you have a bad relationship with him, then say that both of you have a good relationship and can joke about it?"

"If you misunderstood, it would be like this."

"..."

After being asked several times, Miharu finally accepted the fact that her sister and Ren were not a couple, and it was entirely due to her excessive thinking.

It shattered her mentality.

"So, Miharu, do you like Kamikawa-san?"

Mafuyu looked at her again and returned to the initial question.

"Hate him."

Miharu shook her head and answered honestly.

Although Ren is very handsome, if she doesn't like him, it's as good as not liking him at all.

"Then why do you care so much about Kamikawa-san?"

Mafuyu frowned and asked this confusing question.

"Because..."

Because she was sure they weren't a couple, her strategy plan didn't need to be carried out anymore, so she revealed her thoughts.

Of course, she only mentioned a few simple efforts, like asking Ren to call her name.

And like when she tried to use the drunken excuse to ask Ren after her sister fell asleep, it was impossible for her to tell her.

Too embarrassing!

"So that's it."

After hearing her, Mafuyu finally understood why Miharu looked like that.

"Because Onee-sama and he are not a couple, then you can quit your job as a teacher and go back to playing skating!"

Thinking about this, Miharu regained her energy and said very happily.

"As long as Onee-sama can come back, then mom and dad will also..."

"Miharu!"

Before she could finish her words, Mafuyu cut her off very firmly.

"I should have told you not to talk about this from now on."

"...Yes, I'm sorry, Onee-sama."

Miharu bowed her head and apologized proactively.

Mafuyu didn't speak, but quietly started the car.

······

"I can go out now."

After returning home, he changed into mostly black new clothes, and Ren walked out of the house.

Since Asumi didn't need to help him with morning lesson, he went out for a morning walk.

Kamikawa Ren: [I'm not at home this morning and I'm eating out. You don't need to come to my house to cook.]

After editing the message address and sending it to Asumi, Ren left the house.

"Stay until one forty in the afternoon, then go to Angel Cafe."

After seeing the current time, Ren was ready to start his day's journey.

However, as soon as he reached the apartment door, he saw a postman going upstairs with two letters.

"This..."

Ren felt a bad premonition as he saw the letter in the postman's hand.

"Hello, are you here to deliver a letter?"

After thinking about it, he took the initiative to chat.

"No, I'm here to return the letter."

When he heard someone talking to him, the postman raised his head and looked at the boy who was talking to him.

"Return the letter? Is it returned to Kamikawa Ren?" Ren suddenly understood something.

"Yes. Wait, how do you know?"

After the postman answered unconsciously, he realized that something was wrong.

"I'm Kamikawa Ren." He explained while pointing at himself.

"No wonder."

The postman handed the two letters to Ren and reminded: "Here, next time you write a letter, remember to write the original address."

"There's no address?"

After receiving the letter, Ren confirmed with him.

"Isn't that normal? If not, I wouldn't return the letter to you."

The postman explained, turned around, and hurriedly left.

"...It seems a bit difficult for ordinary people to send letters to heaven."

Looking at the address he wrote on the envelope, Ren said a little embarrassed.

After all, the return of the letter through the post office was beyond his expectations.

Does he really need to go to heaven and deliver the message personally to Gabriel and Raphiel?
