The Tanaka Family Reincarnates

Chapter 347.3

Moreover, Joshua had prepared a large insect carriage ever since the tailless whip scorpions had become huge, but the T-kuns thought the carriage was still a little small.

They would fit just fine if they drew in their legs tightly and overlapped them with each others, but the carriage was too cramped as a bed.

Compared to that, this cave had the ideal environment (24-hour all-you-can-eat bat buffet) with the perfect size and the ideal dampness (humidity) with nothing to complain about.

*rustle rustle?*

Meow mew!

(Who arranged such a wonderful house for us?) When the tailless whip scorpions inquired cheerfully, Koumei replied that it was Martha.

*rustle rustle!*

(My goodness, we must thank her) said the tailless whip scorpions.

Meow mew, mew meow.

Koumei translated that the tailless whip scorpions wanted to thank Martha.

Eh? T-Thank M-Martha? I understand your feelings, but I think you should refrain from letting yourself be seen

The conscientious tailless whip scorpions were all so eager to thank Martha that they wanted to go to the mansion right this instant, but Emma hurriedly stopped them.

Even Emma had that tiny bit of common sense to know that it would end up with Martha fainting again with foam at her mouth.

Meow meow!

(You can secretly leave a gift in front of Marthas room if you dont want to show yourself, meow!)

Koumei gave a piece of advice to the tailless whip scorpions, who were discouraged after being stopped by Emma.

*rustle rustle!*

(A gift Then we will put a bat in front of Marthas room secretly so as to take care not to be seen!)

Meow! Meow!

(I recommend cicadas or mice, meow!)

Woah! NO! You cant do that, okay? No bats or mice, okay?

Emma once again asked them to hold their horses upon hearing the cat and insects disturbing conversation.

Bats and mice were not gifts but harassment unless they were a billionaire from a certain American comic or the mascot of a certain dreamland.

It would absolutely NOT make girls happy.

Meow? Meow?

(Then, how about nuts? Mushrooms can be harvested in the mountains too, meow?) Koumei sympathized with the tailless whip scorpions and persisted in helping them send gifts.

Um Koumei-san? Humans can also eat nuts and mushrooms, but

Even if they were extra careful, it would all be over if even one of the tailless whip scorpions entered Marthas sight.

There was no way Martha would say [Tailless whip scorpions, was it you? The ones who always gave nuts and mushrooms] after seeing the tailless whip scorpions bringing her gifts.

[T/N: Reference to the story Gon, the Little Fox]

*rustle rustle?*

(Then what should we do?) The tailless whip scorpions were at a loss with a dejected expression.

Not expressing gratitude when they were given this wonderful new house would stain their honor as an insect.

Umm, since Martha eventually seemed to start treating Violet and the silkworms kindly somehow

While William was mumbling how it was difficult to have a nice and sweet conversation between Martha x Tailless whip scorpions, the three siblings racked their brains.

Wouldnt it be better to let Martha realize that, Hey, the tailless whip scorpions are very helpful, after all?

Lets increase Marthas favorability towards you so that she will gladly accept your gift, added William.

*rustle rustle?*

(Favorability?)

I see? So this means we have to sharpen their pincers, right?

Emma nodded to Williams conclusion.

*rustle rustle?*

(Pincers?)

Hm?

Mew?

If the tailless whip scorpions pincers can cut Over, it will be an unbeatable achievement in Imperial Japan.

You wont be just some helpful anthropods but heroes, saviors of a country! Emma looked at the tailless whip scorpions with sparkly eyes.

*rustle!?*

Marthas favorability will surely shoot up if you become heroes, and I can also avoid Mothers scolding Awesome! Killing two birds with one stone!

*rustle rustle?*

(Eh? This matter is already decided?)

And this was how the tailless whip scorpions undertook the duty to cut Over to win Marthas favor.

*rustle rustle?*

(Eh? Seriously? Its a fixed plan?)
