ââŚWell, Iâm sure the ninjas just couldnât bear to see the ninjutsu they have cultivated so far perish along with Imperial Japan. Please donât blame Hanzou too much.â
Imperial Prince Tasuku cleared his throat and defended Hanzou. He had noticed it at some point, but decided to overlook it.
âThatâs reasonable.â
Thinking that nobody expected Over could ever be exterminated, the Shogun also pardoned Hanzou readily.
âThank you for your merciful wordsâŚâ
Hanzou bowed his head while being drenched in a cold sweat. He would never admit that he was swayed by the angelâs smile and corn soup.
âYour Imperial Majesty! Then can we also bring Over âs seeds back home?â
Without noticing the frozen atmosphere, Emma pointed her finger at Over âs capsules that piled up next to Over âs rubble while talking to the Emperor.
âWha-?!!! You havenât crushed the seeds?!â
If they germinated, that horror would haunt Imperial Japan once more.
âUh, yes. Our cats like them, and I also want to do various research on themâŚâ
Emma answered while tilting her head in puzzlement after seeing the frowning faces of the Emperor, the Shogun, and Imperial Japanese vassals.
âNee-sama⌠you donât plan on planting them in our garden, do youâŚâ
âShe⌠Just what is she planning to do nextâŚâ
William and George held their heads. Just thinking about it already drove them out of their wits.
âPlease bring all the seeds with you! We will be troubled if we have them here.â Mitsunari Ishida yelled.
âThank you very much!â
Emma smiled at Mitsunari in a good mood.
ââŚHow cuteâŚâ
âWilliam-sama! What did Mitsunari-sama say just now?!â
Joshua sensitively perceived something from Mitsunariâs reaction and asked William to translate it for him. Even if he didnât understand the language, he had a feeling that his rivals would increase.
âNee-sama said she wanted to bring the seeds back, so Mitsunari-sama said she could take them all.â
When William translated with a fed-up face, Joshua hurriedly replied, âSo you will need a ship for the seeds, right?â and passed down the instructions to his companyâs 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 Emmaâs wishes.
âSpeaking of which, I guess itâs about time you introduce us to the ones who defeated Over , the insects and the cats?â
The Shogun asked Leonard to bring them to see the leading actors who ended the plant hazard, a monster disaster that Imperial Japan couldnât do anything about, in just one short month. As far as he could see, there were no creatures similar to the descriptions nearby.
âEh? âŚYou want to see them?â
âMy Lord⌠I advise you not toâŚâ
âPardon me, My Lord, but it is really⌠It is better for you to not see them, especially Your Imperial MajestyâŚâ
Leonard, Fukushima, and Katou didnât seem very eager to show the insects and the cats.
âIâd absolutely love to see them. Is there some kind of problem?â
âIâd 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.â
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.
âNo, butâŚâ
âThatâsâŚâ
âEven we have not gotten used to seeing them at all eitherâŚâ
Fukushima and Katou spoke vaguely in a mumble.
âWhat are you so unsure about?â
âBring the insects and cats here.â
The Shogun and the Emperorâs voices turned stern after their subordinates kept playing hard to get and making them unnecessarily curious.
âOh, should I call for them?â
Emma, who didnât read the atmosphere again, suddenly became tactful at the most undesirable time.
âKoumei-san~, Ryuu-chan~, Kan-chan~, Chou-chan~⌠and Tailless Whip Scorpions, come here to greet the Lord and His Imperial Majestyyy!â
Emma turned to face the small mountain of Over âs rubble and shouted.
âAh, Nee-sama! Arenât calling the tailless whip scorpions suddenly like this a bitâ?!â
