Eseria managed to drive her brother away easily. She sat back on the sofa and put her arms together and thought about it while the terrified maid watched over her from a distance.

「I said I will make it myself but....to start, what should I do first?」

While she was thinking seriously while groaning "Hmm", she heard a voice that can be perfectly described as bell sounding.

「Eseria, what's wrong? Why do you have such a troubled expression?」

「Oneesama, why are you here?」

Eseria raised her face and replied. She looked at her older sister who's five years older than her calmly but she's screaming in her heart.

(Her platinum blonde hair is as beautiful as always and her green eyes will make you involuntarily stare at her. No, why am I commenting on her like an old man? However, I'm really surprised that such a beautiful girl is my blood-related sister. Even my parents and older brother, their face value are off the roof.)

Eseria, who's thinking like that, also falls in the category of beautiful girl like her elder sister Cornelia when viewed objectively. However, she's not aware of that.

「Najek told me to check on you because you're making a fuss. That said, it looks like you have something you want to do.」

As she said that while tilting her head, Eseria can only lower her head obediently.

「Did I make a fuss? I'm sorry.」

「That's good of you but....what's wrong? Are you unwell?」

「I'm not unwell but I have this sickness called boredom disease.」

「Boredom disease....」

For a moment, Cornelia has an expression of "what on earth did she is she saying". After that, she blinked her eyes a few times and laughed with amusement.

「Quite a cute disease you have. Then, shall I read you a poetry book?」

「No, please don't!」

After saying that instinctively, Eseria closed her mouth to think for an excuse. Cornelia, who's doubting her little sister that became silent, thought it's strange.

「Eseria?」

Then, Eseria looked up at her elder sister straight in her eyes and talked in a lower than usual voice.

「Oneesama....Recently, I was in deep despair with the fact that when we talk about books, it means we are talking about scriptures, historical books, or poetry collection that are circulated around the world...」

「Eh? Despair....isn't that too much?」

「However if books exist, that means that papers exist too, right?」

「Y-yeah....you're right.」

「Since there's paper, there should be pen and ink that can be used to write on it, right?」

「That's right....ano, Eseria, what's wrong? Are you sure you're okay? Did you forget about pen and ink too? As expected, I should call the doctor.」
