My Ex-Elder Sister shifted into the room next to mine - v2.5 Chapter 3 : Abominable days ②

Abominable days ②

(Just now… I heard Kosuke’s name.)

Ren tried to distance herself from her grandparents, but when Kosuke’s name was mentioned, she couldn’t move.

“When you say Kosuke, do you mean that child?”

“Yeah, the child of that detestable guy. We had a discussion about the remaining inheritance on the other side yesterday, remember?”

“E~eh, the discussion went about smoothly, didn’t it?”

“Yeah, he was an annoying guy, he agreed to leave behind half the money. I thought there would be disputes, but it’s good that he’s an idiot. He almost readily gave that half of it, for Ren who isn’t even related to him by blood.”

The two of them laughed, but tears overflowed from Ren’s eyes.

“So, what’s the need of that child after that?”

“Don’t you understand? … If we take him in. We can have the remaining half of that inheritance in our clutches as well.”

“Have you already forgotten dear?”

“Nn? About what?”

“Before the discussion yesterday, didn’t you meet that child in front of the station? At that time, didn’t you badmouthing him on his face. Don’t you think he wouldn’t want to come to a place like this after that?”

“Ajjyaaa~ then what should we do?”

Grandmother pondered.

“…True, then how about we use Ren. It seems she was attached to that child, so we can make her send letters or make phone calls.”

“U —-mmmm, I wonder if it will work out fine.”

“Let’s give it a try as our last resort. But if Ren resists, we won’t push her.”

“Well, I guess it’s true. It might be fine to give up on the remaining money. Knowing that Ren also might as well have some well utility as well, so giving her a sense of distrust against us will lower the possibility of her use in the future… well~, as she is now, she got no use though.”

“Hohoho.”

“Gahaha.”

The two of them laughed merrily.

But Ren ran towards the toilet, away from her grandparents.

“Ugh… Ugh!!”

Ren vomited.

(Disgusting, disgusting, disgusting!)

How could they have such vile thoughts?

Her grandparents, no, those scumbags…

(What should I do? What should I do to protect my family!?)

She kept on thinking and thinking and thinking.

…But as an elementary school student, Ren didn’t understand what to do.

Streams of tears trickled down as she clenched her teeth.

Frustrated… at her own powerlessness…

“…Anyway, I have to protect Ko-kun. Since, I don’t think I or my mom would be able to escape from them.”

*Slap

She slapped her cheek and gathered her determination.

From that day on, Ren would make blood-soaked efforts.

To prove her worth, to prove her use.

In order to protect her little brother.
