When My Doorbell Rang at 5am, I Got a Wife

Chapter 23: Interworld Post Office

“Oh, yes.”

As the money talk came to an end, Erika suddenly snapped her fingers as if she had just remembered something.

“What’s up?”

“I have to send a letter.”

Erika took out an envelope from her pouch.

The addressee was not visible, but there was a red “Express” stamp, and a regular postage stamp was attached to the upper left corner of the envelope.

“A letter?”

“Yes. I have to inform them that the isekai transfer is complete.”

“Huh? It’ll arrive? By mail? Seriously?!”

Umm, to her hometown, that other world, right?

What’s the principle behind this?

The mail delivery capabilities of my beloved Japan, which is said to be the best in the world, can actually reach the otherworld?!

That’s amazing!

“Oh, should I also add registered mail?”

“That’s where you’re fixated at…?”

“Are there any other problems?”

I wonder.

I don’t think our conversation is quite clicking, but—

“Well, never mind. By the way, you can’t send registered mail from a postbox; you have to go to the post office counter. You also need a special envelope, and it’s about 2 kilometers from here to the nearest post office.”

“That’s a bit of a hassle. I’ll just send it express and drop it in a postbox. Thank you for telling me.”

“No problem.”

But mail can reach the otherworld.

Japan Post is truly amazing!

Well, Erika transferred from that otherworld, so it’s not surprising that a letter could transfer to as well.

Today has been a dense eventful day, so I’ve gotten used to the strangeness.

“Shall we go together to the postbox?”

“Is that okay?”

“It’s almost noon, right? We had a light breakfast, and… we also did some intense exercise, right? I think you’re hungry too. Let’s go eat somewhere and then buy some daily necessities.”

“Exercise, or rather, sex, right? ♡”

“Umm… yeah.”

I was embarrassed to say it out loud, so I deliberately left it vague, but Erika pointed it out.

“Tooru was very strong. ♡”

“Erika was… cute too?”

“Thank you. ♡ Let’s have sex again. ♡”

“Uh, yeah!”

Hmm?

The atmosphere seems to be turning sexy again…

Does that mean we’re going to have sex again?

The rebound from the bondage of virginity that lasted over 30 years has made me feel like I can have sex anytime, but—

However, it seems that I was the only one thinking about such things, as

“Yes, I’m a little hungry too.”

Erika said cutely, rubbing her stomach.

Well, of course.

We’ve had sex several times since morning.

Let’s wait until tonight, yeah.

I’m not a chimpanzee who just learned to masturbate.

“So, shall we go eat somewhere? We have 700 million yen, after all. I think it’s okay to eat something nice today, as a welcome party for Erika. Is there anything you’d like to eat?”

“Can I choose?”

“Of course. Today, let’s eat whatever you like, as a celebration of your transfer to this world.”

Erika seems to have studied a lot about Japan.

So I thought she might have something she wanted to eat.

And it seems I was right, as

“Then I’d like to eat conveyor belt sushi!”

Erika said with her hands clenched at her jaw, her breath heavy.

Her eyes sparkled.

“You’re really excited, huh? You want to eat sushi that badly?”

“Yes, I’ve wanted to go ever since I read a book introducing Japanese culture. The idea of spinning sushi is amazing!”

“Is it sushi in general, or just conveyor belt sushi?”

“Just conveyor belt sushi! Reducing manpower while adding a playful touch—it’s a dining form packed with functional beauty, that’s conveyor belt sushi!”

“Well, it is fun. I get excited just seeing the sushi spinning.”

“Right! I want to take the sushi that comes down the lane, and I also want to try putting the finished plates in and hearing the sound!”

“If it’s gacha, it must be Kura Sushi. Is there one nearby?”

I immediately took out my smartphone and searched for stores.

“Oh, there is. It’s on the other side of the station, so it’s about a 10-minute walk.”

I made a reservation for two people on the dining reservation app and headed to Kura Sushi with Erika.
