I Didn't Even Want To Live, But God Forced Me To Reincarnate! Chapter 105: The Mailman Is Here!

Day 22 Month 7.

I woke up so early in the morning, before the sun even rose. Or would it be suffice to say that I could hardly fall asleep last night?

Today, my entrance exams result should be delivered!!

Since I couldn't sleep anyway, I decided to wake up and walked down only to find that Chloe was already awake as well, and she seemed to be in the middle of doing a morning clean-up.

"Ara? Lyrsama? Why are you up so early in the morning?"

"Chloe? You're already awake, too?"

I was being so rude! Not only did I not answer her question, but I even returned her question with another question! Where are my manners? Where have they gone to?

"Ahaha, yeah, I'm used to wake up so early even without the help of any alarm. I guess it's my biological clock. I usually do minor ch.o.r.es in the morning before it's time to prepare for breakfast," Chloe didn't seem to mind my earlier rudeness at all and answered my questions first.

"I see… Ah, uhm, I can't really sleep because today, I should be getting my entrance exams result. So, I decided to wake up early."

"Is that so? Do you want to eat something or take a bath first?"

"I-it's okay, I will just walk around or read something while waiting for my parents to wake up…"

"Read something? Then, I'll be making a hot cocoa for you! Wait a bit, Lyrsama."

Before I could even refuse her delicious offer, Chloe quickly dashed over to the kitchen to make the hot cocoa.

…Well, then I will be bringing some books to enjoy with the hot cocoa… Let's see what books are available!

"Eh, Lyra? You're up already?" Mom was so surprised when she saw me reading a book and drinking the hot cocoa leisurely.

"Wha, Lyra, what's wrong? Did you have a nightmare? A fever?" Dad quickly examined me up-close.

"No, I can't really sleep well, so…"

"You can't sleep well? You should have knocked our rooms, Mommy and Daddy will accompany you to sleep," Mom added.

…oh, right. It's normal for a six-year-old kid to do that! It didn't cross my mind, with my mental age and how I had no recollection of doing that in my past life.

"I can?"

"Yes, of course!"

"T-thank you, I will do that next time!"

Hearing their quick and positive answers, I resigned myself to the warmth I felt growing inside my chest and a genuine smile quickly formed on my face.

"Uuu, where is it?"

After taking a bath and having a nice breakfast, I went on stand-by in front of the house, waiting for the sign of a letter arriving, or anything of the sort…

"Lyra, you can actually access it on Provice…"

Dad murmured something, but Mom stopped him before I could even understand what he was talking about.

"Don't kill the joy of waiting for the manual result to Lyra!" Mom quickly warned Dad—and I was wondering… manual result?

"Lyra, let's play some games first," Alt-nii tried to tempt me, but I was in no mood to play!

When I squinted into the distance, I saw a figure approaching in a simple bike… that person… could he be the long-awaited postman?!

When the figure of a young boy on his bike approached, I decided to walk even further to the gate. Obviously, my parents and Alt-nii who were standing next to me quickly followed.

The boy descended from his bike, repositioned his hat, and took out several mails from his bag.

Among the letters, I saw one familiar-looking envelope with a familiar-looking wax seal. That's…!!

"I've been waiting for you!!" I impatiently held my hands up to the letters he was holding, and he looked back at me in confusion.

"Uhm… yes?"

"Hurry, hurry!" I shook my hands which were floating in the air, impatiently gesturing him to give me the letters.

"Ah…?" The young postman showed a confused expression instead, and that grated my nerves!

"Now, please!"

"…I understand."

My eyes sparkled when the young postman said that he understood—but then, he put away the letters back and… positioned himself to carry me…?!

Wait… No!! Nooo, you've misunderstood my words!!

As I closed my eyes to the approaching figure of a dazzling young postman seemingly in his 15-17 of age, resigning my fate to whatever came, I noticed that I was s.n.a.t.c.hed away and was flying on the air, in the familiar arms.

Familiar… arms?

I opened my eyes to see what was going on and saw the young postman standing dumbfoundedly in front of me, and noticed that he wasn't the one who carried me.

I turned over and looked up at my savior.

The one who saved me from such an awkward situation was none other than… Dad.

"Can you explain what did you just try to do to my daughter?" Dad smiled, but cold air emanated from within his smile.

"Eh? Ah, n-no, Duke Hartmann, I wasn't… The little miss seemed like she wanted me to carry her out of a sudden, and to answer her impatient request, I…"

…Whaaaaat? How did you perceive my gesture as that?!

"What, there's no way she would do such a thing to a stranger!"

"Stranger, me? But I've come here a few times to deliver the mails… yelp! N, no, I mean…"

The young postman's sense of justice prompted him to correct my dad's memory, but he was greeted by Dad's fierce stare.

"D-dad, it's okay, I was at fault, too! I didn't speak my intention well! This big brother here is not wrong!!"

In a panic, I put my hands on Dad's chest to prevent him from getting angry at the innocent postman.

"…Lyra's defending him?!" Dad's shaken voice resounded.

"…Uuuh, what a kind little miss you are!" The young postman's overjoyed voice responded.

"…"

Yes, please, please end this odd situation and just give me the letter already!!

In the end, Mom stepped between Dad and the young postman after she enjoyed the situation wholeheartedly and explained the circ.u.mstances, apologized to the young postman and took the deliveries from his hands.

The young postman smiled at me and gave me his good luck after hearing how I was impatiently waiting for the exam result.

Dad discreetly shoo-ed him away… Dad… please stop destroying your image as the duke… ( ´•̥̥̥ω•̥̥̥` )

"Quick, quick!"

Gathering in the family room, I impatiently asked Mom to open the mail that she was holding.

Looking at my childish behavior, Alt-nii and my parents all laughed.

Uuu, it's fine, isn't it?

Sometimes, adults want to return back to being children and act childish to their heart's content. In my case, I literally got the chance to return back to be a child, so I shan't relinquish this chance… right?

"Alright, do you want to see the content, or do you want me to read it for you?" Mom asked once she held the content of the letter in her hands.

"Read it to me!"

For the sake of the best thriller. Ever!
