As usual, Millan went to Duke Sjogren’s residence but unlike the usual, an uproar broke out.

「Milan…..In fact, for the last six months, I was seriously thinking about how to break my catastrophic future.」

After sitting face to face and drinking a sip of tea, Eseria told him that with a serious expression. Milan was nervous thinking what’s going on before replying.

「Ano….Eseria-sama? For the last six months, I thought you have been actively working on writing the “Shining Star” series, and developing a number of useful items like those scissors-like things called nail clippers….」

「That’s it, that’s exactly it! The first thing anyone will do is to distract themselves from irritation and distress is to do something fun!」

「….Excuse me but, what do you mean by “catastrophic future”? Presently, I’m sure Eseria-sama has no enemy and I know that’s how you feel too.」

Hearing Milan’s question with a confused expression, Eseria told him loudly.

「That’s exactly where the pitfall is. Because of that, I decided to resist fate with everything I have.」

「Haa, is that so….?」

(I have a bad feeling about this……..what is she planning this time?)

Seeing Milan horrified with what she said, Eseria looked at Misty who was standing beside her. She walks towards Milan and silently gives him a bundle of paper.

「Now then, Milan, I want you to read this and tell me what you think.」

「….yes?」

「What’s wrong? This isn’t the first time you’ll read a new manuscript of mine.」

「Of course….let me read it.」

Contrary to his expectations, it was only reading a manuscript. Milan was kind of surprised and received the manuscript obediently. At that time, he thought Misty’s eyes are kind of lifeless. Even so, he immediately focused his attention on the manuscript in front of him.

(Isn’t this just a manuscript? What’s with the “catastrophic future” and “resist fate” she’s saying? Sometimes, Eseria-sama exaggerates things.)

Milan was immediately relieved of his worry but after going through a few pages, he felt a bit of incongruity.

(Areh? The main character this time is a man? Then, this should be an adventure or tragic story. I’m sure she hasn’t written any of those stuffs. So that’s why she’s bothered.)

Reading something different from her usual style, Milan continued reading but soon, strong reaction could be seen in his expression and a little later, he raised a question with a low-key voice.

「Ano…..Eseria-sama?」

「What is it, Milan?」

「Before anything else, I would like to confirm something. The main character of this story is a young man name Jest, right?」

「Yes, that’s right.」

「So, this Jest has an older sister named Rihanna, and this elder sister has a fiancé named Elder, right?」
