Kirisu Miharu

"Do you not believe in my cooking abilities?"

Mafuyu heard the real reason for his rejection.

"Kirisu-sensei, just leave that room to me. You can go and teach Kominami-senpai."

Ren once again used her skill of changing the subject.

"Even though my cooking skills are very poor, you still use this request to make me do something else."

Mafuyu was truly lacking in confidence to say that her cooking skills would surely improve in the future.

"No need."

Ren felt there was no need to do anything about this request.

"Anyway, I owe you a favor now."

Mafuyu left these words and left her house without giving her a chance to object.

...

Ren didn't say anything about it.

After all, she had already left. Could he bring Mafuyu back just to reject her request?

That's too strange.

He would never do something strange.

His current task was to help Mafuyu clean her room so she could welcome her sister.

However, he was the only one in the room, which meant he didn't need to hide anything, he could simply use his superpowers to clean the room.

With a casual wave of his hand, the fallen bookshelf stood back up, and the scattered books on the floor automatically returned to the bookshelf.

'Simple.'

Seeing the room gradually becoming cleaner under the influence of his superpower, Ren commented.

He also smoothly disposed of the trash, so Mafuyu wouldn't forget to dispose of it and pile it up at home.

"Almost done."

After cleaning the room, Ren was about to call Mafuyu, but he realized that less than half an hour had passed.

This made him give up on the idea of bringing her back.

It took too little time.

If he didn't use his superpower, it would take about four or five hours to clean the room.

It took half an hour to clean this messy room, such high efficiency was easily doubted.

So Ren sat in front of the table and waited calmly.

He planned to stay here for two hours before telling Mafuyu that her room was cleaned.

The reason he had cleaned the room so much was that he was more skilled at it, and it took less time, he should be able to explain.

If he really stayed here for four hours, it would be a waste of time.

Coincidentally, he could also use his spare time now to think about what to give others as a gift.

This was very difficult for him.

Time passed little by little as he thought.

Not long after, a knock on the door suddenly sounded, disrupting Ren's reverie.

He looked at the time and realized that only half an hour had passed.

"...Not good."

If Mafuyu returned, Ren would have to mess up the room.

Otherwise, he couldn't explain how he cleaned the room so cleanly in just one hour.

With the idea of messing up the room anytime, Ren went to the door.

After sensing the smell outside the door and making sure that the person standing outside the door was not Mafuyu or any smell he knew, Ren confidently opened the door.

He didn't know her, meaning the person who came was looking for Mafuyu.

Therefore, he needed to inform the visitor that Mafuyu was not home.

Opening the door, Ren saw a girl who looked very much like Mafuyu standing in front of the door, with a suitcase beside her.

This girl should be the younger sister Mafuyu mentioned, right?

But didn't she say she would come in the evening?

"Long time no see, Onee... um, boy?! Why is there a boy at Onee-sama's house?"

Seeing Ren appear in front of her after opening the door, the girl looked very surprised.

"I..."

Before Ren could introduce himself, the girl quickly distanced herself from him, and she took out her phone.

"Thief, he must be a thief! Call the police, I have to call the police."

"My name is Kamikawa Ren. I am Kirisu-sensei's student, not a thief."

Realizing that she seemed to have been misunderstood, Ren had to speed up his speech to prevent her from calling the police.

"Onee-sama's student?"

After hearing his explanation, the girl immediately stopped calling the police.

"Yes, I'm a student at Shuchi'in Academy."

Since it was summer vacation, he wasn't wearing a school uniform, so he could only use dry words to prove himself.

"Sorry, I misunderstood. I'm Kirisu Mafuyu's little sister, Kirisu Miharu."

After calming down, Miharu carefully looked at the boy who opened the door for her, and then believed his explanation.

The handsome boy didn't really look like a thief.

It made sense for him to be her sister's student.

"It's okay, please come in."

Since she was Mafuyu's sister, Ren had no reason to stop her from entering, so he took the initiative to help her carry her suitcase to the room.

"Thank you. Excuse me—!"

After thanking him, Miharu followed him inside.

"Very tidy. Worthy of being Onee-sama's room."

"..."

Ren who had just put down her suitcase, didn't refute her statement.

"Please have a seat."

After leading her to the table and sitting down, Ren went to the kitchen to pour a glass of water and put it in front of her.

"Where is Onee-sama?"

While sipping water, Miharu couldn't help but ask the question that had been bothering her since she entered the door.

"She's not at home for now." Ren explained.

"Then why are you at her house?"

Seeing Ren sitting across from her, Miharu was very confused.

Mafuyu was not here, instead she met her students at her house.

"I'm here..."

Ren suddenly didn't know how to explain it.

Did he want to let her know about helping Mafuyu clean her room in the future?

Mafuyu never let himself keep secret that he was cleaning her room, but she never let himself tell anyone about the appearance of her room.

"What are you doing here?"

Seeing him stop talking midway, doubt in Miharu's heart increased.

The doubt that had disappeared in her heart reappeared at this moment.

"I'm here to help Kirisu-sensei clean."

Facing her question, Ren finally said what was true.

In this situation, he had no choice but to tell the truth.
