My uncle and I choose the life that will not be ruined

Chapter 01

After graduating from high school in the spring, I stayed at home with my dream of becoming a manga artist.
I had a father who was an office worker, a mother who was a housewife, and an older sister who has been working as an office worker since last year, but I...
To be honest, I was very fortunate, my sister's tyranny was the only thing that annoyed me.

"You're not busy, are you?"

After that phrase, I'll be forced to clean the bathrooms and go the convenience store with only those words...

Once, I bought an ice cream at the convenience store and when I gave it to her, she made me go back to buy another one again, saying "no, it wasn't the one I wanted"
There was also that time when....

Such an older sister was addicted to the Otome games.
She said, "I can't do anything unless I previously am healed by a handsome guy image. Ohh! This Otome game has an aspect of a " tasks to do" and if you don't take the time to work on them, you can't progress comfortably. But, I can't! "
My sister was emphatic about it.
I had a bad feeling about that and tried to quietly escape, but there was no way she was going to let me go.
"You're not busy, are you? Raise the bar, please."

Since then, I've been home every day, drawing manga and occasionally playing otome games to raise the level of the game and collect items.
My sister's favorite game, "Honey-colored Rhapsody", had five characters to capture.
In order to capture them, you have to level up and improve your status, such as intimacy and love level, and you have to play steadily.
My sister, who came home from work, did the "important story progression", and I was forced to do the preparations during the day.

"But still. You don't mind if I don't capture them all?"

Chapter 02: Uncle

The girl's name is Miriella Fowlders, the 7 years old daughter of a duke.
Her sparkling strawberry-blonde hair and deep scarlet eyes are like her mother's.
She has the same lovely, doll-like appearance as her father.

Miriella and her parents, plus her brother, were the four members of the Fowlders duke family.

No, there is another 'relative' in this house.
Although not related by blood, the brother of the head of the family - in other words, Miriella's uncle - lived in this house.

His name is Leon Fowlders.

However, no one in the family, including Miriella, pays any attention to her uncle, because he didn't leave his room for nearly three years.

The former Duke of Fowlders' death left him without anyone to count on.
Even when he's living in this mansion, he avoids Miriella and the others, as much as posible.

"My uncle... is he sick?"

Miriella asks the maid beside her, who brings some caramel-covered cookies.

Chapter 03: A deal with uncle Leon.

"A deal?"

Miriella sits on the sofa in front of Leon, with an expression on her face that can scare anyone, however her uncle isn't afraid of it, he knows it isn't anger exactly.

Her uncle, who had never been interested leaving his room before, suddenly appeared at the dinner table, even though he was screaming through the windows in the morning.

Miriella is really curious about the reason behind this unusual situation, but on the surface, she looks calm.

(Nobody can find out that my uncle's actions surprised me, nor that I'm impatient to discover the true behind it!)

But Leon, his maidservant, and Melisa, Miriella's maidservant, all knew that Miriella was curious, including the fact that she was trying to hide it.

(She is a seven-year-old girl, after all)

She may think she's already acting like a respectable lady, but she can't hide the childishness that occasionally peeks through her little eyes.

Leon's maidservant prepared two cups of tea, sweet fragrant chamomile tea.

"Would you like a cup of tea?"
"Yes."

Leon looked straight at Miriella and smiled.

Chapter 04: Uncle's merciless Manga story

"What do you mean by destruction?"

Miriella's face, which had been smiling just a few moments ago, became scary and angry as usual.
Melisa, the maidservant with Miriella, who was watching it, shrugged her shoulders (kiiii!), but Leon, noticed that it wasn't exactly anger.

"We, Takeshi and Leon, thought it would be hard to explain this to you ...mmm, 'verbally'. So we did this one for you!"

For some reason, Leon gave her another pictures book or Manga, as he called it before.

The moment she saw it, Miriella, which had been staring at him in anger, become perplexed.

Angry at the disturbing prophecy of her destruction and curious about the manga that was put in front of her.
Unsure of how to process the two emotions, Miriella's expression was twisted in a complicated way.

"... Do you not want to read it anymore?"

"No! I want to read it!"
