The Tanaka Family Reincarnates

Shop Opening Crisis and Child Detective Second Appearance [Part 2]

Almost an hour later, after they returned to the mansion, ate lunch, and changed their clothes, George and William seem to be holding their heads.

“Emma…”

“Nee-sama…”

The clothes they changed to are the usual ones they wear inside the mansion. It’s a modest commoner style that has nothing to do with trends and fashion.

The Stuart family always wears this kind of clothes at home whenever no visitor is coming because it’s comfortable and easy to move in.

Thinking that they might do some dirty work, Emma, who appears late, wears pants and has her hair stuffed into her big hat.

Emma doesn’t look dashing like the beauty in male dress Marion, but thanks to her thin limbs and non-existent chest, she looks exactly like a young lad from downtown.

“I’ve kinda expected this, but… are you planning to go to the commoner town?”

Looking at Emma, who is hiding her hair and dressing as a boy deliberately, George nervously asks.

With the royal castle at the center, the royal capital is neatly divided into the academy district, the shopping district, the nobles district, and the commoner town.

The commoner town is where the commoners live. As much as it is far from the royal castle, its public safety is also bad. Of course, nobles rarely step foot in it.

“If the royal capital shopping district doesn’t have it, we could only try looking for it in the commoner town, right?”

With a broad grin, Emma puts a hat on the brothers’ heads. Blond hair is rare in the commoner town, so it will only attract unwanted attention.

“We’ll enter the commoner town as soon as we go out from the back door, so we’ll be fine in this attire.”

As the Stuart family mansion has such a huge land, its backdoor on the far side from the royal castle leads to the road bordering the nobles district and commoner town. Stuart family servants who commute to work from the commoner town seem to always use this backdoor.

“Meow♪”

Koumei-san, Kan-chan, and Ryuu-chan with a ribbon around their neck are waiting behind Emma.

“Koumei-san and the cats will send us to the backdoor, they said.”

‘Huff!’ With a shout that doesn’t sound like a 13-year-old’s, Emma climbs onto Koumei’s back and grabs the ribbon around the cat’s neck.

All the cats other than Chou-chan have short fur, so they put a ribbon around their neck to make it easier to hold on when riding them.

I asked Chou-chan to keep a lookout on Mother and Father, so nothing should go amiss… I suppose.

“Of course it’s not okay!”

William opposes it. The commoner town has poor public safety compared to the neighborhood here, so it’s dangerous.

“Why? Nobody said that we can’t go to the commoner town?”

Emma replies nonchalantly.

Nobody ever warned them because it’s such an obvious fact, and Emma used it against them. George and William are so dumbfounded.

“Besides, we’ve always been in Joshua’s care.”

‘I want to repay his kindness once in a while…’ When she said it like that, it’s hard for the brothers to stop her.

Even if they say no here, Emma will act alone without permission later, so the brothers can only bend.

The brothers reluctantly climb onto the cats’ back and put on the goggles they always wear when riding the cats.

They bid goodbye to the servants saying they’re going to play with the cats in the garden. After that, the cats directly run towards the backdoor.

Without the cats, it would take them almost an hour to get to the edge of the garden.

Because the garden is so big, the servants won’t worry even when they can’t see the siblings’ figures anymore. It’s the first time they feel grateful towards this too big of a mansion they haven’t gotten used to living in yet.

The servants see off the cat riders, who can only be seen in this mansion, with a smile without any speck of doubt.

Author’s note: By putting a ribbon around the cats’ neck, now they can ride the cats even with short fur.

The ribbons also double the cats’ cuteness.

The ribbon is, of course, made of Emma silk.
