YM778.TV Chapter 209
“Emma, behave yourself! You’re being improper.“
No, Melsa-dono? That’s not the point! We have a lot to talk about before you can warn your daughter like that, okay…!
“Ah! That was impolite of me. How do you do? I am the eldest daughter, Emma Stuart.“
While I was at a loss for words from the shock, the girl lifted the hem of her skirt slightly and bowed her head.
…Cute…
“I am Masanori Fukushima, a vassal of the Toyotomi Shogunate.“
I introduced myself without thinking, perhaps overwhelmed by her cuteness.
“Oh my! Fukushima-sama?!” The girl fell into a daze for a while and then exclaimed, “You are the First Spear!“
The girl broke into a bright smile, as if there were lovely blooming flowers surrounding her. [T/N: Emma in Fukushima’s eyes XD]
…Cute…
“Ahem.”
Ishida’s cough snapped me back to reality.
I ended up getting fascinated by the girl’s smile.
How weird… I couldn’t believe I felt this way in a time of emergency… Pull yourself together, me.
“Y-You even bring a girl to a dangerous country…“
Will she be alright? Will she, um… faint from the summer sun or something?
“Emma is… a perv-… an ins-… very cute.“
“True…“
(Mother, did you almost say that Nee-sama is a pervert?)
(And also about to say that she is an insect maniac?)
I could see Melsa-dono‘s oldest and second son communicating secretly with their eyes from the corner of my eye. Though I had no clue what they could be talking about.
“Yup, Emma is cute. She is also an angel.“
Melsa-dono‘s husband, Count Stuart, affirmed her words with a deep nod.
“Ahem.”
Unable to just look on in silence, Ishida cleared his throat for the second time.
“I see that the whole family has been speaking in Imperial Japanese since some time ago…“
Even the calm and collected Ishida was caught off guard by this family, who had been nothing but unpredictable. Although it seemed like he was most curious about why they could speak Imperial Japanese, which couldn’t be understood in any country, so fluently.
“Oh! It came off so naturally that I didn’t realize we’ve been speaking in Imperial Japanese!
“I was also belatedly surprised. I didn’t even notice that because I had been too caught up in the family’s pace ever since we met.
“Everyone in the Stuart family can speak Imperial Japanese! We studied a lot.” The girl smiled cheerfully.
“…Cute.“
“Ahem.“
“Ah, uhh. Thank you for coming all the way here to Imperial Japan, but the situation in this country has already turned very dangerous. It would be better for you to go back to the Kingdom as it is.“
I went to the port just to say this.
This is weird… the girl’s smile is too cute.
“Fukushima-sama? We didn’t just spend the last few months idly. We have been properly putting together a countermeasure.“
“If Imperial Japan will surely perish if we return to the Kingdom as is, we definitely cannot leave it alone! (Or else we can’t eat rice anymore!).” The girl supported what the Count said to persuade me.
“Don’t tell me that this cute… this girl will also go to Over‘s propagation place?“
There’s no way I could give them the authorization.
We have a debt of gratitude to the Kingdom for the food aid.
To bite the hand that feeds us… I couldn’t do it as a samurai.
“If that’s the case, let me give them that permission.“
Imperial Prince Tasuku got off the ship with the ninjas and the Tarous.
” “I-Imperial Prince Tasuku.” ” Ishida and I bowed our heads. Although I already knew from the message, I still found it regrettable that he had really returned.
