The Tanaka Family Reincarnates

Chapter 315



A Certain Over-Optimistic Calculation of Joshua [Part 2]

“What awful bomb are you dropping on such a peaceful family?! Young Master!!!”

“To subdue the whole clan mostly filled with gorillas, as expected of Professor Arban… He isn’t called [the Pride and Brain of the Kingdom] for nothing. This also turns out favorable to me… Fufu, FUFUFU. Your Highness, if you think you can flirt with Emma-sama without a hitch, you’re sorely mistaken…”

“No, that’s scaryyy, I tell you!”

*shoom* Huey of the slums, who had recently become Joshua’s personal errand ninja, appeared.

“Master Joshua… If you had had to scheme like that, wouldn’t being upfront and participating in the extracurricular lesson have been better? Big Bro Harold told me it’s not good to complicate things.”

“In classic love stories, an honest young man will be united with the heroine at the end. The one who acts secretly behind everyone’s back always ends up with the villain or rival role, y’know,” Hue further reminded with an expression that looked more like he was creeped out than worried.

“What ridiculous thing are you saying? Don’t lump Emma-sama together with that kind of typical heroine. Emma-sama is special.”

“…more like peculiar… than special…”

“Leaving that aside, has the ship arrived at the port safely?”

Joshua had Huey go to the Simmons Marquisate.

The biggest reason Joshua didn’t go to the extracurricular lesson was that the first trading ship he dispatched to Imperial Japan was returning.

“Yes, the cargo was packed securely so it couldn’t be seen from the outside, and the Imperial Japanese on board were only the senior ninjas who erased their presence, so I think no one noticed that the Rothschild Company began trading with Imperial Japan. The company’s ships entered and left the port every day. Even without such measures, I don’t think anyone will suspect a thing, no?”

Trade with Imperial Japan had to be done secretly so as not to be found as much as possible.

Because the majority of the cargo was magic stones.

Magic stones were useless objects in the Kingdom without magicians, but those were the only thing Imperial Japan could offer to trade.

The exchange of magic stones between countries would develop into a big problem if exposed. Besides, the Royal Palace had made mistakes in the past in magic stones management.

In short, the Stuart family, who had no intention of getting involved in such a troublesome matter, left all the management for it to Joshua.

They entrusted everything, including negotiating the trading price of magic stones, deciding import volume, and notifying the Kingdom of the trade to Joshua.

“There’s no way I will finish the task Emma-sama has entrusted to me with great faith half-heartedly.”

“…Is it not from House Stuart to the Rothschild Company…?”

“Wha?”

Carlos and Huey tilted their heads in confusion.

???

Around the same time in Skyte Barony…

“Delish?! Roc is super delicious!”

Skyte hunters, who didn’t get to eat dinner because of the sudden alerting news, exclaimed in surprise after tasting the cooked roc timidly.

“Fufufu, meat will turn tender if you marinate it in yogurt.”

Melsa laughed happily.

“Wait! Lady Emma? Y-You don’t have to feed me anymore…”

The Lord of Skyte shrunk back when Emma brought roc meat near his mouth with a beaming smile.

…well, he didn’t hate it, though.

“No way, no need to be polite? Here, aaa~hh.”

“! (So cute…) A-Aa~hh *munch munch*…”

“There’s still a lot left, okay? Have more of tandoori roc?”

“Tandoori roc?”

“Yes, tandoori roc? Ufufu.”

Prince Edward looked at this situation with a complicated face.

Arthur kept laughing at it.

Three old men couldn’t contain their jealousy and scurried over.

“E-Emma! Daddy too! Aa~hh!”

“E-Emma! Feed Uncle too!”

“E-Emma-chan! The king too, aa~….”

These uncles gathering around Emma giddily like a moth to a flame was not a pretty sight.

“STOP FLIRTINGGGGG!”

William’s retort reverberated throughout the campsite.

Joshua’s scheme could prevent everything but Old Man Hoi Hoi alone.

Author’s corner:

Comedy: Oi, Rom-Com. Wifey. Hey, heyyy?

Rom-Com Geeky Lady: Ah!

Comedy: What’s wrong?

Rom-Com Geeky Lady: What I did in this chapter made me think about the possibility between Hue and Carlos.

Comedy: I’m glad to see you so happy… Just don’t do something that will make you end up in the police station, okay?

Rom-Com Geeky Lady: Fufufu, it’s alright. Because although Carlos is indeed older, Hue’s physical ability is better…

Comedy: Er, how’s that supposed to be alright? Leaving that aside, I haven’t seen Crisis lately. Did he go somewhere?

~In a certain dungeon~

Crisis: Serious, we had to go to great lengths to find the phoenix’s feather, so don’t get carried away again next time, okay?

Serious: Sorry, Crisis… Man, I was really pathetic back then… Still, even though I was like this, I did a pretty great job in the first volume of the novel, didn’t I?

Crisis: I know!!! I was also by your side at that time, remember? Serious.

Serious: At that time, I was shining so brightly, wasn’t I?

Crisis: Yeah. Only for an instant, though.

Translator’s comment: Why do I feel like Joshua is giving more and more typical-CEO-ML-in-Chinese-novels vibes… And his level of pettiness reminds me of Yanagi from “Last Game” (if anyone remembers that manga)

George is my fav character, but with how little screen time he gets, I can only settle with watching over Joshua.
