My Ex-Elder Sister shifted into the room next to mine - v2.5 Chapter 10: Was this Madness or Love

Was this Madness or Love

“…This is enough.”

“Eh?”

“I said I understand. You can do as you please, Mom.”

Ren smiled and spoke.

Her mother, feeling that her daughter understood, seemed relieved, that she had gained her approval.

“So do you plan to remarry, Mom?”

“Eh, Um… Actually, I’ve been asked if we could get married.”

“Oh such a thing, isn’t that a really congratulatory thing then.”

Saying that, her mother looking happy and giddy.

“Well then, I’ll go back to my room, ok.”

I picked up those box of letters in front of her and stand up.

“Oh, right… From now on, I wish you all happy with your family of three~.”

“……eh?”

Ren left her mother to her own and returned back to her room.

*Thud

she closed the door.

Ren had returned back at her room.

At the time being, she thought about to placing the box she was holding on her desk, but…

“Ah…”

As if another thread had snapped in her, she slumped and dropped down.

Her body felt weak, and tears welled up in her eyes.

“…*Sniff… No… not yet.”

While desperately wiping away her tears, she decided to open the box.

Fortunately, the letters were neatly organized, and she could read them in chronological order.

Ren started reading them one after another.

Ko-kun’s letters contained things like 『 Are you doing well, Onee-chan? 』 and also stuff like 『I miss you, I feel so lonely. 』

Other than those, there were also things written about his everyday life and what he did.

“…Ko-kun.”

(Ko-kun continued to write … Even though he never received a reply.)

Ren felt a her chest getting extremely tight.

As she continued reading the letters, she noticed a subtle change appear slowly.

After some point, the contents became cheerful day after day.

And in one of the letters, it said, 『 Onee-chan, I’m all happy now. So I’m already fine. 』

“…I see… That’s good.”

She felt relieved.

Ko-kun must be happy with his current life now. That’s all good now… But… Then…

“…Wait, then what about me?”

Ren felt despair.

What should I even do now?

How can I even find happiness after this?

I’ve been enduring, dreaming of living together as a family of three once again, but…

My mother and Ko-kun have already chosen their separate paths and started walking on them.

I was the only one left behind…

“Aaah …What was even the point of these efforts until now…”
