NovelEnglishWe Can’t Afford Seven Days of Fire [Part 3]
“No problem. Ah! Joshua, can we use that?”
Momochi pointed at the box the Rothschild Company planned to give to Imperial Japan as gifts.
“Yeah, you’re right. It’s better to use that than some flimsy rope.”
Inside the box was House Stuart’s carefully produced Emma Silk thread.
“Light load, easy, to move.”
If the ninjas brought ropes for binding, their speed would also be reduced by the weight. They also wouldn’t know the strength of the rope if they procured them directly from the scene, which left them with a cause of concern, so they crossed that option out.
The thread from the silkworms Emma raised with care was as light as any other thread, and although it’s a thread, it was stronger than most ropes.
“Well then, we’re off.“
“We’re going now~”
Along with a *shoom* sound, Hattori and Momochi disappeared with other ninjas who were also present in the room before but were unseen.
“Hmmm… Ninjas are so convenient.”
“I won’t give them to you, okay? Just be thankful with Hue alone.”
“Shame.”
Upon hearing what Joshua uttered silently, Imperial Prince Tasuku warned him lightly.

-On the other hand, in the forest with monster appearances in Skyte Barony-
“Nee-sama!”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtWilliam grabbed his older sister’s wrist and shook his head.
All of the King’s upper garment was stripped off, and the monster’s blood on his body was carefully wiped off. As long as he woke up, he should have returned to his senses.
“For caution’s sake. It’s just for caution’s sake.”
“It’s unnecessary.”
“William, the one we are taking care of is His Majesty the King, you know. We must be extra scrupulous…”
“Nee-sama, please take your hands off His Majesty’s belt quickly.”
“No way!”
“His Majesty’s pants are made of ultra-luxury leather. The monster blood on it has already completely dried too. There’s no risk of the blood soaking in.”
“B-But! It’s a one in a million chance…”
“There’s no one in a million nor one in a billion. Take your hands off His Majesty’s belt right this instant!”
“Tch…”

-On the other side, in the Stuarts’ Royal Capital residence-
“So peaceful~”
“So peaceful~”
Martha drank her black tea leisurely. The one drinking tea together across her was the gatekeeper, Old Man Evan.
“But, Martha-san. You look somewhat restless. Why is that even though it is this quiet and peaceful?”
Old Man Evan asked curiously.
“Mr. Evan, you’d better prepare your mind well if you are serving the Stuart family, you know?”
“Huh?”
“Because every calm moment is just the calm before the storm. It won’t last forever.”
“Huh? No, it can’t be that bad…”
“I can affirm you of this. A commotion is already brewing below the surface. Just that the ripples currently haven’t reached us.”
“Huh? Then why does Martha-san still have the heart to drink tea so leisurely at such a time…”
“I have already given up.”
Martha looked up at the sky with a sigh.
‘Something will happen sooner or later anyway.
A calm and peaceful life will never visit me. ‘

-Meanwhile, in the Stuarts Royal Capital residence’s garden-
“Meowww”
(I’m bored meow) Kan-chan stretched his body.
“Oomew…”
(I miss my floor cushion, Leonard…) Chou-chan rolled around lazily and yawned.
The three cats, who were left home while the whole family was out on a trip, were lazing around out of boredom.
“Mew!”
Ryuu-chan‘s eyes flashed with light.
“ “Meow!?” ”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmKan-chan and Chou-chan looked at Ryuu-chan‘s shining eyes and lifted their sluggish heads.
When Ryuu-chan‘s eyes shine…
…that’s when she sees the future.
“Meow?”
(What did you see?) Kan-chan asked.
“Meowww?”
(Will something fun happen?) Chou-chan asked.
“Meow mew, meow!”
At Ryuu-chan‘s answer, Kan-chan‘s and Chou-chan‘s ears perked up.
“ “Mew, meowww!” ”
The cats looked up at the sky in high spirits.
Incidentally…
Translation: Ryuu-chan, “Tonight’s dinner is canned cat food!”
Translation: Kan & Chou-chan, “ “Yayyyy!” ”
The canned cat food from Imperial Japan was safely delivered to House Stuart by the Rothschild Company. As all the servants had confirmed there was no problem with the quantity, the canned cat food would be served as tonight’s dinner for the cats.
Ryuu-chan‘s precognition couldn’t be reversed, nor could she choose what she would see.
