Treats [Part 1]
“Koui-san, next up is the Flying Geese Formation! It’s the diagonal one.”
“ow!!!”
When Emma pointed at a shape she had drawn on the paper, Koui owed at the tailless whip scorpions.
Fwooshhh!
From the Crane Wing Formation, the tailless whip scorpions changed to the Flying Geese Formation in one swift move.
“Ooohhh… Amazing!!! Everyone’s so smart. How cute!”
“Nee-sama… You rembered the battle formations this well, huh?”
William laughed dryly as he watched Emma frolic around the Stuarts’ large garden.
“I rembered the Crane Wing, Fish-scale, Flying Geese, Arrowhead, and Column sohow, but… the other three…”
“No, people don’t usually know any of ’em, though?”
George, too, laughed listlessly.
“Co on, both of you. You’re still so dull even after seeing the military troops live in action… and you still call yourself a Japanese boy? Why do you think I collected all 60 volus of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms manga? Of course, I didn’t read it half-heartedly!”
Emma vented her disappointnt to her brothers because she couldn’t have a fulfilling history discussion with anyone. Haa, this kind of talk will only liven up when Mother is around, after all.
“w, ow?”
“Eh? Koui-san, you’ll help think of the battle formations?”
Koui comforted the dejected Emma.
“ow!”
With one ow from Koui, the tailless whip scorpions changed their formation from the Flying Geese to a “く” shape one.
“oww, ow!”
“Eh? A Bent Cucumber Formation?”
“ow!”
Koui nodded proudly.
“Ah… now that I think about it, Koui-san likes cucumbers, right?
“ow♪”
“But why a bent cucumber?”
“ow, -ow!”
“Really? The bent ones are easier to eat, huh.”
“ow!”
Emma rembered that Koui had sohow co to like cucumbers and would eat them all the ti, probably to rehydrate in the sumrti.
There were many crop fields around the Tanakas’ house in the countryside. Koui liked cucumbers so much that Yoriko had to plant cucumbers in the garden of their own house so that Koui wouldn’t bother the neighbors’ fields.
“Let’s plant cucumbers in the garden this year, okay~.”
“ow♪♪♪♪”
Koui happily rubbed her body against Emma.
Fluff spoiled acts are the best. Emma thought in bliss.
“ow?!”
Chou-chan, who was washing his face near William, responded to Emma’s words. He flicked his long white tail and sat beside Emma and Koui.
Then, with a serious face, he also owed like Koui.
“ow!”
At Chou-chan‘s voice, the tailless whip scorpions army moved out of the Bent Cucumber Formation and made one vertical row in an instant.
“ow ow!”
Chou-chan looked at Emma with eyes full of anticipation.
“Eh??? A Chu*ru Formation???”
[T/N: Ciao Chu~ru is a popular cat treat in Japan.]
Minato had already moved out by the ti the Tanaka family raised Chou-chan. Because she brought back a chu*ru as a gift every ti she went ho, Chou-chan rembered Minato not as the ham person, but the chu*ru person.
[T/N: Refers to a popular ham comrcial back in 1999. It advertised ham as the perfect gift to take ho or for when visiting a relative’s house, and it would make people rember you as the ‘ham person’.]
Chu*ru is like drugs for cats… Chou-chan’s gaze was scary. Emma grew a little nervous inside.
“C-Chu*ru is a bit… Umm, I’m not sure…? I wonder if we can get it here?”
“oww”
As if saying “Pretty please~”, Chou-chan rubbed his body, which was even fluffier than Koui’s, against Emma. It was double the fluff spoiled act attack…
“Ahh— so cute! Chou-chan is also cute! Good, let’s ask Joshua for it next ti, okay?”
“ow♪♪♪”
Chou-chan purred happily.
This purring sound… Its healing effect is aweso. Emma thought.
” “ow, m-ow!” “
Kan-chan and Ryuu-chan, who saw Chou-chan, also sat on both sides of Emma and, looking very solemn, owed once more.
” “w, ow!” “
From the Chu*ru Formation, the tailless whip scorpions army ford a circle at once.
” “ow” “
The two cats looked at Emma with eyes full of anticipation, just like Chou-chan had done earlier.
“…Canned Cat Food… Formation…? …Um, yeah. I got it. I’ll ask Joshua for this too, okay?”
” “oww♪♪♪” “
With the addition of Kan-chan and Ryuu-chan around Emma, a huge huddle of cats was completed.
From where George and William were standing, they already couldn’t see Emma’s figure, which was buried by the cats.
“Eh? What’s that? I’m so jealous!”
“Isn’t it all going to be Joshua’s efforts in the end…”
Crane Wing Formation, Fish-scale Formation, Flying Geese Formation, Arrowhead Formation, Column Formation, Bent Cucumber Formation, Chu*ru Formation, Canned Cat Food Formation.
‘Tis the mont of the creation of the eight battle formations which would later be called ‘The Stuarts’ Eight Battle Formations’.
The daughter-loving frontier lord and the niece-con frontier acting lord would make it known throughout the Kingdom by actively adopting it while monster-hunting. It would later be incorporated into the Knight Order training and was even feared by the Empire, a country which was said to excel in military tactics. However, that future was still currently unknown to anyone.
