Not a moment longer, we finally reached our destination, Nine's bookshop. Erin opened the door for me and I entered. Two pairs of eyes looked at me at the same time, one of them was a set of forest greens.

"Welcome~" Nine sang behind the counter, as always, wearing her usual smile.

She really smiles a lot...

"Hello~"

"Lady Nadia!" exclaimed Estelle.

"Hey," I nodded at her in acknowledgment.

Estelle seemed to get even more thrilled because of my response that she literally brimmed with it.

"You're back!"

"Yes, I am..." I drawled lazily.

Estelle cleared her throat and reeled her excitement in when she realized how eager she was being. Kinda cute, not gonna lie.

I walked right up to them and smiled at the very welcoming Nine who appeared as if she already knew what I'm about to say.

"I finished the book you suggested to me and it was really good," was my opening statement.

"So you want to buy another one," she stated and leaned forward, resting her chin on her right hand.

"Correct."

Very intuitive...

"Book? What book is it, Lady Nadia?" Estelle suddenly piped in, looking rather curious.

Oh, yeah... Estelle loves reading so she must be interested...

"It's..." I opened my mouth and was about to tell her but then suddenly remembered something– "hmmm it doesn't seem to have a title but it's a good one. Maybe I should have brought it with me..." I mumbled.

Why did I not think of that earlier?

"Oh, you don't have to. Estelle here has read that book before," Nine avowed.

And it seemed to be true because Estelle is talking again...

"Wait, no title? Is there a black raven standing on a crescent moon on its cover?"

"Yes–"

"Ohh! She's my favorite author! She writes a lot of fantasies!" Her bright green eyes flashed excitedly, grinning at me like a giddy little kid.

"I can totally see that..." I mumbled as I gazed at her.

"By the way, what trope was it? What story?" she babbled on.

If she could latch onto me as she asks me for answers, I bet she would, judging from the way she literally scooted closer to my side, her wide glistening eyes focused on mine.

And how can I ignore that look?

"It's transmigration. You know, about someone being sent somewhere and stuff..."

"I read some books with the same trope as well!" Estelle immediately responded.

Man, her energy is off the charts...

"My personal favorite was about Sera who got transmigrated into the body of a novel heroine and bla bla bla bla bla..."

'Wow... She's going off...'

"It was really cool! Most especially when she bla bla bla bla bla bla... And then this bla bla bla bla so that's why they bla bla bla bla..."

You know what it is... because the contents of what she's saying right now are big fat spoilers, it came out censored like that. Looking at the most enthusiastic Estelle, with green eyes as bright as emeralds in the sun, with rosy cheeks that seemed to glow rosier the more she got into the moment, and with a smile that could melt one's soul... I wasn't listening to her at all because I got distracted by her face.
