My Ex-Elder Sister shifted into the room next to mine - v2.5 Chapter 6: What Ren wants to protect ①

What Ren wants to protect ①

After the funeral of my grandparents, a few months had passed, and things had settled down.

“Hehe~♪”

Ren happily walked down the hallway of her house.

She looked at the passbook she held in her hand.

There were numerous zeros lined up, and there was money that a middle school student shouldn’t have.

“Finally, it came in… Fufu… Those scumbags left me such a nice parting gift.”

This money was the insurance money from her grandparents. Why was it in Ren’s possession?

It was because her grandparents had named her as the beneficiary of their insurance.

The reason was simple: her grandfather and grandmother had taken out high-value insurance policies on each other. However, because the amount was excessively high, if they were the beneficiaries, it would raise suspicions.

So to justify it as being for the sake of their grandchild, they named Ren as the beneficiary.

Well, if both of them had died, there wouldn’t have been much they could have done.

When my mother found out about this, she initially worried if it was okay to give me such a large sum of money.

However, when I convinced her by giving reasons like wanting to use it for my future, and as a result, I became the one to manage it.

…Honestly, I became worried about my mother.

“For now, my grandparents are gone, and I don’t have to worry about money… With this, I can once again live with Ko-kun.”

Ren laughed and thought about the happy life they would live together as a family of three.

“Ren~! Are you there?”

My mother called out to me. I wonder what it is. I headed towards my mother.

“Mom, what’s wrong?”

“Ah, sorry, I had a favor to ask.”

“What is it?”

When I listened to her, she was actually asking me to clean up my grandmother’s room.

“Well, you know, this house looked too spacious for just the two of us living, don’t you think.”

“Yeah, you mentioned it before as well.”

“That’s why I was thinking of doing something about them, but then again, there are just so many things that… It’s hard to sort them out.”

“I see…”

Looking around, I saw that my grandfather had collected various items like jars and paintings. Well, from Ren’s perspective, it seemed like a nasty hobby of collecting extremely expensive items from here and there.

“That’s why I planned to call a professional and sell them away, but to do that, I need to clean the room and the things as well.”

“I understand. But, just grandmother’s room would do?”

“Un, we’ll take care of the rest gradually.”

“Got it.”

Saying that to my mother, I headed towards my grandmother’s room.
