Outcome [Part 4]
“…Well, I’m sure the ninjas just couldn’t bear to see the ninjutsu they have cultivated so far perish along with Imperial Japan. Please don’t blame Hanzou too much.“
Imperial Prince Tasuku cleared his throat and defended Hanzou. He had noticed it at some point, but decided to overlook it.
“That’s reasonable.“
Thinking that nobody expected Over could ever be exterminated, the Shogun also pardoned Hanzou readily.
“Thank you for your merciful words…“
Hanzou bowed his head while being drenched in a cold sweat. He would never admit that he was swayed by the angel’s smile and corn soup.
“Your Imperial Majesty! Then can we also bring Over‘s seeds back home?“
Without noticing the frozen atmosphere, Emma pointed her finger at Over‘s capsules that piled up next to Over‘s rubble while talking to the Emperor.
“Wha-?!!! You haven’t crushed the seeds?!“
If they germinated, that horror would haunt Imperial Japan once more.
“Uh, yes. Our cats like them, and I also want to do various research on them…“
Emma answered while tilting her head in puzzlement after seeing the frowning faces of the Emperor, the Shogun, and Imperial Japanese vassals.
“Nee-sama… you don’t plan on planting them in our garden, do you…“
“She… Just what is she planning to do next…“
William and George held their heads. Just thinking about it already drove them out of their wits.
“Please bring all the seeds with you! We will be troubled if we have them here.” Mitsunari Ishida yelled.
“Thank you very much!“
Emma smiled at Mitsunari in a good mood.
“…How cute…“
“William-sama! What did Mitsunari-sama say just now?!”
Joshua sensitively perceived something from Mitsunari’s reaction and asked William to translate it for him. Even if he didn’t understand the language, he had a feeling that his rivals would increase.
“Nee-sama said she wanted to bring the seeds back, so Mitsunari-sama said she could take them all.”
When William translated with a fed-up face, Joshua hurriedly replied, “So you will need a ship for the seeds, right?” and passed down the instructions to his company’s employees.
After he finally arrived, he immediately rushed to work even though he had just put down the things he was carrying and was still slumping his shoulders. Joshua would be the only one who did his best to support Emma’s wishes.
“Speaking of which, I guess it’s about time you introduce us to the ones who defeated Over, the insects and the cats?“
The Shogun asked Leonard to bring them to see the leading actors who ended the plant hazard, a monster disaster that Imperial Japan couldn’t do anything about, in just one short month. As far as he could see, there were no creatures similar to the descriptions nearby.
“Eh? …You want to see them?“
“My Lord… I advise you not to…“
“Pardon me, My Lord, but it is really… It is better for you to not see them, especially Your Imperial Majesty…“
Leonard, Fukushima, and Katou didn’t seem very eager to show the insects and the cats.
“I’d absolutely love to see them. Is there some kind of problem?“
“I’d love to see them too. Whether it is insects or cats, I would like to say my greetings to the saviors who have saved Imperial Japan.“
The Shogun and the Emperor looked at the three in confusion, wondering what the three needed to hide when they wanted to say thank you on behalf of the people they ruled.
“No, but…“
“That’s…“
“Even we have not gotten used to seeing them at all either…“
Fukushima and Katou spoke vaguely in a mumble.
“What are you so unsure about?“
“Bring the insects and cats here.“
The Shogun and the Emperor’s voices turned stern after their subordinates kept playing hard to get and making them unnecessarily curious.
“Oh, should I call for them?“
Emma, who didn’t read the atmosphere again, suddenly became tactful at the most undesirable time.
“Koumei-san~, Ryuu-chan~, Kan-chan~, Chou-chan~… and Tailless Whip Scorpions, come here to greet the Lord and His Imperial Majestyyy!“
Emma turned to face the small mountain of Over‘s rubble and shouted.
“Ah, Nee-sama! Aren’t calling the tailless whip scorpions suddenly like this a bit—?!“
William couldn’t stop her in time.
“Meooow ♪”
*rustle rustle rustle rustle rustle rustle rustle rustle rustle rustle rustle rustle rustle rustle*
” “EEK—” “
It went without saying that immediately after that, the Emperor and the Shogun’s screams echoed throughout the place for a long time.
