As Long as It’s Not Revealed

"Stop fabricating nonsensical lies."

Miharu didn't believe his explanation at all, and said with cold eyes.

"Onee-sama, the most respected and perfect... There's absolutely nothing she can't master."

"If there's one out of ten billion possibilities that Onee-sama realizes she's not good at anything, then I'll be by her side twenty-four hours three hundred sixty-five days, sincerely... and by any means let her forget it."

"But – opportunities like this will never come!"

Speaking of this, Miharu suddenly smiled and looked very happy.

"..."

Did Miharu misunderstand Mafuyu?

"In short, tell me the real reason why you're at Onee-sama's house." Miharu didn't let it go and kept asking.

It's hard not to be suspicious of a man staying alone at her sister's house.

"I'm really here to clean Kirisu-sensei's room."

Ren reiterated this sentence again.

"I've said it. Stop lying like this before it's found out."

Miharu couldn't believe that her perfect sister couldn't even do small things like cleaning room.

"That's the truth." Ren emphasized.

"Forget it, let me call Onee-sama."

Saying this, Miharu took out her phone.

"No, I'll go and call Kirisu-sensei directly."

Ren stopped her movement, stood up, and walked towards the door.

At this point, he could only let Mafuyu handle the situation in front of him.

He really couldn't explain it alone.

"What do you mean? Where's Onee-sama?"

Miharu didn't quite understand what he meant.

"Kirisu-sensei and I are neighbors, and she's at my house now." Ren explained.

"Why is Onee-sama at your house?"

Miharu stood up with him.

"She's teaching someone else."

After leaving the room, Ren looked at Miharu who followed him and asked puzzledly, "Why do you want to follow?"

"To be cautious. Don't use the excuse of looking for Onee-sama to escape."

With the previous note refusing to say "the truth." Miharu became even more suspicious of the purpose of his appearance in front of her sister.

"Okay."

Ren had no intention of running away.

After escorting Miharu to her door, Ren knocked on the door.

"Isn't this your house? Why are you knocking on the door?" Miharu clearly remembered what she had just said.

"I didn't bring the key."

After finishing eating, he followed Mafuyu to her house and didn't have time to take the key.

Then why not just use superpowers to change it directly?

Since there was no one at home, choosing to knock on the door at this time was what an ordinary person should do.

It's not how Espers operate.

"Oh."

This explanation didn't entirely convince Miharu.

Who doesn't bring their house key when they go out?

Shortly after, the door opened, and Mafuyu in sportswear appeared before the two of them.

"Kamikawa-san, and... Miharu?! Why are you here so early?" Mafuyu looked very surprised to see Ren and Miharu appearing at the same time.

"Long time no see, Onee-sama!"

The moment she saw Mafuyu, Miharu immediately smiled.

"I couldn't wait to see Onee-sama as soon as possible, so I came here earlier."

"What's going on here?"

Asumi noticed something amiss at the door, so she also came to the door.

"My little sister came unexpectedly, so I have to accommodate her."

Mafuyu turned and answered her doubts.

"Hello, nice to meet you. I'm Kominami Asumi, Kirisu-sensei's former student."

Seeing Miharu's appearance so similar to Mafuyu, Asumi introduced herself to her.

"Hello, I'm Kirisu Miharu." Miharu replied.

"Kirisu-sensei, I've finished cleaning the room for you. You can come back to welcome your sister."

After observing the situation, Ren stepped forward two steps, leaned close to Mafuyu's ear, and whispered softly.

Asumi is still here, and he has to do this to prevent the actual situation in her room from being revealed.

If it can be kept secret, he still has to help keep it secret.

"So that's it."

Feeling her ears suddenly attacked, Mafuyu blushed and then looked at him sharply.

His actions clearly exceeded the teacher-student relationship.

"Whispering?"

Seeing Ren acting unlike a student, she rubbed her eyes in disbelief.

Seeing this very intimate scene, Asumi couldn't help but think of what Mafuyu had said to her own self correctly an hour ago.

'My relationship with Kamikawa-san is just a simple teacher-student relationship.'

Ah, how simple it is.

Mafuyu noticed the surprised expression in her sister's eyes, so she pushed Ren away to distance him from her.

"Ahem... In that case, I'll go back first."

After coughing twice, Mafuyu walked out while pulling the still dazed Miharu towards her house.

Seeing this, Ren returned to his house.

"Are you and Kirisu-sensei really just teacher and student?"

Once she closed the door, Asumi couldn't help but ask this question.

"Yes."

There's no other answer to this question.

"That's the answer again."

It's hard for Asumi to believe his unchanged answer, and she said to him earnestly, "Kouhai-kun, you're just a new student in high school now, so there's no need to worry about some things."

"What do you mean?"

Ren didn't understand this sentence.

"It means, it takes three years before a high school student's identity can be separated from you." Asumi tiptoed and gently patted his shoulder, "So, it's still a long way off."

"Oh."

Ren still didn't understand, but seeing her like this, he could only pretend to understand and echo her.

"Of course, it's not impossible if you want to be with Kirisu-sensei now, but remember to be careful in the future." Asumi warned, "Once it's revealed, it will be a very serious social incident."

"Don't worry, I won't be found out."

Although he didn't understand what she was talking about, Ren still tried his best to deal with it.

Anyway, as long as it's not exposed, it should be fine, right?
