The Tanaka Family Reincarnates

Chapter 354.4

“Oh, sure.”

“! Wait!? Your Highness!!! George-kun too! I won’t be assured even if you agree to it so lightly! It will be too late to regret if anything happens to His Highness, you know?”

Arthur, who got a bad premonition from the prince’s suggestion, shook his head frantically, saying that this was different from what the prince originally promised.

Moreover, because he was flustered, his voice became a little too loud on this crowded street.

“H-Hey. W-Wait! George? I seem to hear someone calling ‘Your Highness,’ though…?”

The general shop owner suddenly heard, ‘Your Highness…’ in the middle of the whispered conversation and pulled George’s sleeves with a pale face.

“Hm? Uhhh, it’s that. You know, that. These two are w… wandering performers? Uh-huh. They are… actors? in the middle of practicing in costumes for their… roles in their new… performance?”

Thinking that the appearance of the second prince smack in the middle of the Commoner District like here would cause panic, George faltered and made up some lame excuse.

Arthur went, “Uh-oh!” upon hearing the shop owner and covered his mouth before hiding the prince behind his body and putting up his guard.

Things would get troublesome because of his carelessness. Although it was out of instantaneous reaction, George’s excuses were too poor. Arthur was thankful that George tried to cover up for them, but that excuse was so awkward and questionable that it would make them look even more suspicious.

‘No one will believe such an unnatural reason…’

Just as Arthur thought so…

“Oh my! So it’s like that? I have been thinking about how fine these men are. It all makes sense if they are actors.”

“We definitely must go to the performance if such handsome men will appear.”

“Goodness, this lad with a hat is also a pretty face! I like both of them.”

‘They believed it…

And they believed it and got so excited about it…’

Arthur’s pretty face made the poor excuse 100% times more convincing than George’s suspicious behavior.

All of the Commoner District’s aunties who had been watching from a safe distance got excited among themselves.

Thinking that faltering before a lady might stain House Bell’s honor as the leader of the knights for generations, Arthur swiftly put his hands over the prince’s shoulder and showed his white teeth.

“I’m Art, and this shy boy over here is Ed. It’s a pleasure to be acquainted with you, Madams?”

He further sent his signature flirtatious glance to the aunties, put his hand over his chest, and bowed.

“ “ “Kyaaa!” ” ”

The aunties’ high-pitched squeals upon seeing that refined handsome gesture echoed throughout the Commoner District.

“Arthur-sama… Amazing. The aunties… ahem, big sisters’ eyes all turned into heart-shape in a flash….”

George and the prince groaned out of reflex after seeing Arthur waving his hand in response to the high-pitched squeals.

“George-samaaa!”

“George-samaaa!”

In the midst of all that, two children pushing their way through the crowd of aunties around Arthur and desperately calling for George suddenly entered the prince’s line of sight.

“Hm?”

Both were neatly dressed in matching purple clothes and looked like children from relatively well-off families, even in the Commoner District.

“Hey, some children are calling you.” The prince told George standing beside him.

“George-sama! It’s terrible! The robbers came again!”

“They hit Big Bro Harold!”

The children who finally gained George’s attention shouted that something terrible had happened.

“Again? Ugh, every. single. time. they just have to target the times when the guards are off-duty. How troubling. Alrighty, I’m gonna beat them up real good! Come you guys, lead the way!”

“ “Yeah! This way!” ”

“Your Hi… Ed, something came up, so we’ll have to part here. Please be careful on your way back!”

George said goodbye to the prince then chased after the running children.

“Truly, such fine men~”

“Being praised by such a beautiful lady makes me feel like I can ascend to the heavens… wait, huh? Where are George-kun and His Hi… Ed?”

“Hm? Those two ran towards the slums over there just now, you know?”

When Arthur looked in the direction the grocery store owner pointed with his finger, he saw George, who was chasing after two children, and Prince Edward, who was chasing after George, turning around a corner.

“AAHHHHHHH!!! YOur hIGHneSSSS!!!”
