House Stuart Staff Union and the Conscientious Insects [Part 2]

♠♠♠

“Ohhh, to think there’s a cave in a place like this…”

The three siblings, cats, and tailless whip scorpions were looking up at a corner facing a slope of a hill, which was part of the large, large mansion ground.

As the Staff Union led by Martha said, there was a vast open space and quite a splendid cave located further deeper into the garden. Although you couldn’t notice it from a distance because the wild vines growing on the hill covered it like a curtain.

Since the hill was also entirely within the mansion ground, anyone unrelated to House Stuart was very unlikely to trespass into the cave.

The Staff Union (mainly Martha) made a heartless demand, which was: [For the tailless whip scorpions to live in the cave and not show themselves before us as much as possible]. That was why the three siblings were now in the middle of moving the tailless whip scorpions along with the insect shed that had been placed right in the middle of the garden until then.

“*sniff* Wuuu, to think you were driven this far away… I’m so sorry, everyone…”

“Poor thing…” Emma patted the tailless whip scorpions she brought along.

“Don’t hesitate to tell us if you lack anything, okay?”

George also sympathized with the tailless whip scorpions and cleared away the plants blocking the cave entrance so T-kuns could pass through easily.

“If you really have a hard time here, I will fight Martha. Even if she cuts down on my snacks or increases my study time, I will definitely fight her, okay?”

Emma was full of bitter feelings because she had to let the cute tailless whip scorpions live in this dark cave where you couldn’t even see its end from the entrance and it seemed like ghosts could appear here anytime soon.

Facing the Staff Union who had always been looking after them every day and making their lives easier, sure enough, Emma had no choice but to make concessions.

“Meow…”

Koumei licked the cheeks of Emma, who dropped her shoulders sadly, to comfort her.

“Hm? ‘I will bring you here to the cave every day on my back, so cheer up, meow!’ you said? Thank you, Koumei-sannn.”

Being looked over by the three siblings, the tailless whip scorpions walked towards the cave, their new habitat, one by one.

But, the tailless whip scorpions who had disappeared into the cave immediately returned to Emma’s side and stretched out their pedipalps with a rustle, seemingly trying to convey something to her fervently.

*rustle rustle!!!*

*rustle!!!*

*rustle♡*

“Eh? What’s wrong?”

While Emma was looking at the tailless whip scorpions worriedly, Koumei at the side nodded and hummed, indicating her understanding.

“Koumei-san, what is the tailless whip scorpions saying so excitedly?”

William worriedly asked Koumei while looking at the tailless whip scorpion. Contrary to their rather scary appearance, they rarely asserted themselves and were very quiet. But they were now trying to convey something desperately.

“Meow! Mew meow!”

“Eh?! Is that so?!”

Emma was surprised upon hearing Koumei’s reply.

“Emma, did the tailless whip scorpions say they don’t like the cave after all?”

George remembered Emma once said that bats that dwelled inside caves were tailless whip scorpions’ natural enemies. He looked back and forth between the tailless whip scorpions and the cave entrance worriedly.

“No, it’s the opposite.”

“Huh?”

Emma slowly shook her head at George’s inquiry.

“They said the cave’s damp, dark vibe felt super nice and calming. ‘Our new house’s the best!’ was what they also said.”

“ “Eh? Is that so?” ”

The three siblings said in unison at the unexpected answer.

“Eh? But what about the bats? Bats are their natural enemies, right? Do we just happen to be lucky, and somehow there’s none in this cave?”

“No, they said there were bats in there. Lots of them…”

“Despite that, the tailless whip scorpions said the new house’s the best? Eh? Could all the tailless whip scorpions possibly be a masochist?”

William was slightly put off by the tailless whip scorpions, completely forgetting his own questionable hobbies.

“From the beginning… the tailless whip scorpions have already grown huge, so they can retaliate well even if the bats attack. If anything, since those kids are carnivores, they have started saying how the bats actually look delicious…”

“ “Ah! I see. They’ve grown huge!” ”
