The Tanaka Family Reincarnates

What the Hell? [Part 5]

“No, you geezers didn’t even notice me standing right next to you until just now! Besides, I can get to Skyte in one day…”

“HUH? Don’t lie! No matter how fast the horse runs, it will still take three days! But if what you said were true…”

“Prime Minister, it’s impossible. Since the king started participating in extracurricular lessons, we knights have ridden horses to Skyte many times, but reaching it in one day is…”

“It was impossible no matter how light the knight or how fast the horse was,” added the knight order commander after a brief hesitation while shaking his head.

“Right? To be taken advantage of by such a young boy… As the prime minister, I, too, still need more discipline.”

The important figures of the country were led around by the nose by the speech and conduct of a boy.

“…Rose-san? If my eyes aren’t deceiving me, is the clothes this boy is wearing perhaps…”

Queen Victoria took notice of Hue’s purple clothes.

“Yes, Victoria-sama. This fabric is Emma Silk.”

“ “Wha?!” ”

The prime minister and knight order commander looked at Hue’s clothes at Rose’s reply.

“Hehehe. Leonard-sama sewed this for me.”

Hue laughed happily.

“The Count personally sewed clothes with Emma Silk for this kid… hm? Wait… personally???”

“Such expensive clothes… Furthermore, there’s cat-pattern appliqué on the elbows and knees… hm? That muscular Count sewed… appliqué? Huh???”

The prime minister and knight order commander already couldn’t make heads or tails of the situation anymore.

“Victoria-sama, I believe Hue-kun can surely leave the Royal Castle unnoticed and deliver the letter for us in one day. Because nothing is impossible for House Stuart.”

Rose persuaded the queen to entrust the letter to him.

“Nothing is impossible for House Stuart… huh? Young lad, can you really deliver the letter to the king in one day?”

They couldn’t afford to waste time hesitating.

Victoria was torn whether she should trust Hue the boy, whose presence couldn’t be felt even though he could clearly be [seen].

“It will be delivered in one day, 100% guaranteed!”

Hue replied, full of confidence.

The queen nodded at his answer and held a pen to write a letter.

‘Well, me being able to reach Skyte in one day was more because of Big Bro Joshua’s power rather than House Stuart’s, though.’ Hue thought.

He would go to Skyte via sea route, not land route.

The sea around Skyte was originally hard to navigate through because the current was complicated, and there was no shore a ship could dock on, only precipitous cliffs. The terrain made it so everyone could only go via the winding land route.

The impossible was made possible by using the state-of-the-art durable and fast little boat (specially manufactured by the Rothschild Company) that was steered by a highly skilled sailor with abundant experience (Mr. Jacob, who had fully recovered from scurvy) and having him, a ninja, climb the precipitous cliffs. Joshua, who couldn’t participate in the extracurricular lesson, devised this rather ridiculously dangerous route with devotion.

Joshua called it the “If Anything Happens, I Will Come Running Straight Away” course.

‘For this sake, Big Bro Joshua reduced his sleeping time to practice cliff-climbing, didn’t he…’

…Hue suddenly had a very strong urge to sigh.

“Heyyy, Hue. Are you listening?”

Emma peered at Hue’s face.

“Woah, sorry, Emma-sama. I was thinking about something just now!”

Hue, who had been recalling his hard work so far after hearing that the king had entered the monsters’ forest, came to his senses with a gasp.

“C’mon, we’re going, Hue!”

Emma’s laugh when she said, “It can’t be helped…” was cute as usual… but Hue felt uneasy when hearing her tone.

“Hm? Emma-sama? By going, you mean go where…?”

Hue got a bad feeling about this.

“You’re going to deliver the letter to His Majesty, right? Let’s go?”

“*grunt* Up we go!” Emma climbed onto Koumei’s back.

“Eh? Who will go?”

Hue got a bad feeling.

“Who else is going besides us?! You really weren’t listening at all, were you?”

Behind the pouty Emma was the nervous Marion, despairing Francesca, and the twins with bright sparkling eyes.

“U-Us…?”

“Yes, us♡”

‘Hue, me, Marion-sama, Francesca-sama, and the twins.’

The grinning Emma was as cute as usual.

But Hue recalled another thing after seeing Emma’s smile.

…that the smile of the young lady who was the main cause of every commotion looked exactly the same as her face now.
