Canned Food [Part 2]
“The number of convenient devices has increased considerably in recent years because we happen to have all the three important conditions needed for developnt: a magician, magic stones, and even a genius inventor… Wait, what were we talking about again?“
Fukushima only learned that the depletion of magic stones was a grave problem in other countries a few months ago. He had never paid attention to other countries until Imperial Japan faced the destruction crisis.
lsa told Fukushima matter-of-factly that every country was desperately trying to obtain magic stones. It was in line with the information he heard from Imperial Prince Tasuku that other countries’ desire for magic stones was far beyond that of the Imperial Japanese people’s imagination.
‘However, the Stuart family is an exception.
Only the Stuart family desires rice so stubbornly. From the young children to the head of the family, their eyes sparkle not when looking at magic stones, but at rice.
And they also seed to have taken action to save Imperial Japan just for the sake of rice. ‘Though such ridiculous thoughts can’t possibly be true.
Imperial Japan’s magic stones are abundant now, but one day, the veins will also run dry.
They understand the importance of magic stones more than anyone else. They must be thinking of ways to prevent our magic stones from being exploited. I’m sure that rice was nothing more than an excuse.
Such a wise and kind family…’
While Fukushima was glorifying the Stuart family in his mind, the tailless whip scorpions were pulverizing Over, and the cats were catching, rolling, and collecting the capsules.
Fukushima realized that the sun had started to set. He thought he should let Emma and William, who seed to have lower stamina, rest properly now because they didn’t get to have any during the carriage stop. Perhaps the reason why Emma and William were so into the talk about food earlier was also because they were hungry. Due to the fact that they were still children, he took out the snack he kept inside his breast pocket for tis of ergency and gave it to them.
“Emma-dono, William-dono, I only have this on now. Would you like to eat it?“
” “!!! Eh?! EEHH?!” “
Emma and William’s eyes turned round in astonishnt when they looked at the snack. The thing Fukushima took out from his breast pocket was, unexpectedly, canned peaches.
“Is this… canned peaches?!“
“Eh? Canned peaches?“
“Huh? Canned peaches?“
“C-Canned peaches… canned peaches?!“
The other mbers of the Stuart family, who turned to look at the canned peaches after hearing Emma and William’s exclamation, also opened their eyes wide in surprise and ran over.
“Ohh! Everyone also knows what ‘canned food’ is, I see… Ah, that reminds , lsa-dono has cooked in Edo Castle’s kitchen. The kitchen there will always have so in stock. …?“
Once the family heard Fukushima say, ‘That reminds …’ they all stared at lsa at once.
“Mother?“
“Eh?“
lsa put her index finger between her eyebrows as she tried to recall her vague mories. Edo Castle’s… kitchen… The kitchen knife… is sharp and easy to use… Inside the cupboard… was… canned food… huh?
“Yes, they have so… probably.“
“ ” “Mother?!” ” “
We have gone to great lengths to train the tailless whip scorpions for the sake of canned food… Why didn’t you rember it back then?! Emma felt indignant.
“That’s because, you know, having canned food in the kitchen is normal. Nothing special…“
Because it sat on the cupboard very naturally, it didn’t catch her attention.
“Mother?!“
Emma gave lsa a reproachful look.
That’s right, everyone in the Tanaka family was just as disappointing.
Even the most reliable lsa had also gone and done it. It would sotis turn out to be an amazing blunder at that too.
