Playing With the Cats [Part 1]

“Mew?”

“Yeah yeah.”

“!?”

“Yeah yeah. You’re doing great!”

“??”

“Mew meow?”

“Fufufu.”

“!?”

“Oomeow!”

“???”

There were Emma, Violet, and four cats in the large garden of the Stuart family’s mansion.

And the tailless whip scorpions were also playing with something happily there.

*rustle rustle rustle rustle*

“Eek!”

Carlos followed Joshua to visit House Stuart but immediately shrieked upon reaching the garden.

“Y-Young Master?! Just what… are those…?”

Huge cats, a huge spider, (a bunch of) huge super-disgusting insects.

Carlos didn’t know what he should retort at first in the face of this successive shock attack.

“Hold on. Young Master?”

Joshua, who should have been right next to him, pushed his way to the circle of Emma, cats, spider, and the super-disgusting insects.

“No way, are you for real…”

Everyone in the company knew their Young Master, aka Joshua, was madly in love with Emma. Still, Carlos couldn’t believe he didn’t even flinch after seeing that bunch of insects.

“Emma-sama! I’m here to deliver your order.”

Joshua made his way through the crowd of huge insects and reached Emma’s place.

“Oh, Joshua!”

“Meow, meow, meow!”

“…What are you making?”

The cats were flattening the ground under Emma’s instruction, but Joshua couldn’t see them clearly because they were hidden behind the insects.

“I’m thinking of building something like a tower here with Over.”

Emma seemed to intend to construct something using Over‘s ruins that they had smuggled in the middle of the night when they returned from Imperial Japan.

When Joshua peeked into the blueprint that Construction Foreman Emma minutely drew (supervised and corrected by George, someone from the construction industry in their previous life), he saw something that looked more like a huge cylinder than a tower.

“Koumei-san, harden the ground properly, okay.”

“Oomeow!”

The tailless whip scorpions lined up the Over fragments closely on the strongly built foundation while the cats pushed those fragments down with their paws.

“Tower… is it?”

“Yup! I plan to build a donut-shaped wall around it. A tower made of Over… I’ll call it Tovver!”

Emma told Joshua the name of the tower with a smug smile.

Her zero naming sense must be inherited from her father, Leonard.

“…I see. How interesting. It’s the same utilization as when you build houses with Over in Imperial Japan, right.”

The Stuart family was so fired up that they were even in the spirit to make a village when the cannery establishment was in progress, so Joshua wasn’t so surprised now.

Because the cats, tailless whip scorpions, and Violet were already used to building things with Over, they worked even faster than an experienced carpenter.

*squish squish* Contrary to the cute sound the cats’ paw made, the Over fragments were being buried in the dirty ground, and it slowly became a flat surface.

‘After the tower is built, I will make it into my napping bed meow.

I will work hard to make it comfortable for sleeping meow!’ Koumei also did her best.

*rustle rustle, rustle rustle rustle*

“T-kuns, too, continue doing it with care, okay?”

*rustle rustle!*

The tailless whip scorpions were moving Over‘s fragments in large amounts to build a wall that was supposed to be higher than Emma’s head, according to the plan.

Putting Violet on her head, Emma could survey the whole scene from afar and issued instructions to the tailless whip scorpions who Joshua couldn’t see from where he was standing.

“Looks like it will be finished faster than expected because of everyone’s hard work♪”

Emma, who was rumored to be on the verge of death at the academy, had a big smile on her face that practically radiated her great satisfaction.

“Emma-samaaa! Where should I put this seesaw and trampolineee?”

Not wanting to get close to the group of tailless whip scorpions, Carlos shouted loudly while pointing at the goods they had brought to the garden with a wagon.

“Oh… That’s not a seesaw, though. T-kuns, can you move those two things over?”

*rustle rustle rustle rustle!*

At Emma’s request, several tailless whip scorpions headed toward Carlos. They had almost become able to understand each other without the cats’ translation.

“Erk! EEEEKKKK!”

Carlos screamed from the horror of being approached by more than a meter-long insects.

“Carlos, insects will look cute too once you’re used to them.”

“No way in hell they will!”

Carlos could never agree to Joshua’s advice. ‘First give me a convincing explanation as to why the cats and insects here are so bizarrely huge, and then we’ll talk,’ Carlos retorted in his head.

The frightening thing was that the goods that took two horses to transport were effortlessly moved by the tailless whip scorpions.
