Title: The Next Dr. Seuss
"You wrote a children's book?"
"Of course. I'm an established novelist, so it'll be a huge seller."
"I'm not worried about sales. I'm worried about getting fired, sued, arrested, and having our presses destroyed by angry mobs."
"Nonsense, Mitchan. Just read it! It's an adorable story about a girl who likes to cook."
"Magical Cook Lulu-chan?"
"You'll love it."
Mitsuru reluctantly began. "'Once, there was a little girl named Lulu. She loved her mommy and daddy, and she especially loved sausages. Big, plump, succulent sausages.'"
Shigure's mirth was ill-concealed.
"I will kill you someday," Mitsuru growled. "Someday very, very soon."
