「…..I’m back」
When Milan returned to the back of their store in a daze, Wallace called out to his youngest son.
「Hey, Milan. You’re late. I was just about to send someone to the duke’s mansion to check if something happened….what’s wrong?」
When Milan just moved forward without telling anything to him, Wallace called him out. Milan stopped walking, turned his head around, and spoke.
「As requested by ojousama, I’ll hand over the manuscript to mother. I can stay in my room after, right?」
「a-aaahh….but dinner will be ready soon.」
「…..yeah」
Milan continued walking again to the depths of their house while being surrounded by a dull atmosphere. Wallace can only say “What’s wrong with Milan?” as he watches him leave.
-0-
Soon, it was time for dinner. The head of the family, Wallace, and his three sons gathered in the dining room.
「Yeah? Where’s Lamia?」
「She said she’s busy at the moment and asked us to eat first…」
Though confused, Wallace nodded and signaled everyone to eat.
「Is that so? Then, let’s eat first.」
They started eating but after a while, they asked Milan.
「Milan, what kind of manuscript did you bring today? I can’t believe that Lamia is so interested in it.」
「I believe it is something that will make sales double again. Do you even need to doubt Eseria-sama’s power?」
「When mother said she’s going to start a store that only sells books, I honestly thought she’s going crazy, however, it is now a fraction of the Wallace Company. It’s all thanks to Eseria-sama.」
In addition to his father, the eldest son, Delish, and the second son, Quoru, joined the conversation happily. However, Milan avoided direct eye contact with his family and whispered.
「That’s…I had the chance to read it but I couldn’t figure out what’s so good about it….」
「Haa?」
「You mean it’s not for kids?」
Wallace and the others were confused but Milan shook his head lightly and continued to whisper.
「It’s not about children or adults. It’s about love between men….」
「……what?」
The people around him froze, unable to understand what he was saying but he continued to explain not caring about their reaction.
「So….the model of the main character of the story is Najek-sama, the heir of Duke Sjogren. The lover’s role fell to Ryell-sama from Marquis Chrysade family. By the way, tearing the two apart is the main character’s elder sister and the lover’s fiancée, Cornelia-sama is her model.」
