The Tanaka Family Reincarnates

Chapter 307.3

Arrival in the Royal Capital [Part 3]

“Ah! Martha. Speaking of which, where is the west wing?”

“The rooms, garden, and everything in this Royal Capital mansion are a bit too big, don’t you agree?”

“A small room the size of four and a half tatami mats[1] is already enough for a bedroom, right… I would rather live in this servants’ residence than the main building.” [T/N 1: around 7.3 square meters or 79 square foot]

“ “Exactly!” ”

It was only a while ago that it took all the servants’ power to stop the three siblings’ parents from moving here after they said the exact same thing as their children.

‘Perhaps living in the Royal Capital will be like taking a leap in the dark for this family,’ Martha’s worries knew no end.

“I will draw a map to the west wing. Please wait for a moment.”

“ “ “Thanks, Martha!” ” ”

Feeling truly troubled by the three siblings’ genuine words of gratitude, Martha dropped her shoulders in resignation.

???

The Tanaka family’s emergency family meeting.

The three siblings arrived at the west wing with the help of the map Martha had drawn and gathered with their parents in the study.

The reason why there was only the family in the entire west building was none other than because Melsa had assigned work to all the servants and cleared everyone from the place.

“Our life in the Royal Capital starts today.”

After being silent for a while, Melsa slowly opened her mouth.

“What’s more, you will have to go to the party hosted by the Royal Family tonight without any prior preparation. I wonder if you are aware of the seriousness of the matter? Hmm, Emma?”

Emma, who was suddenly named, hurriedly swallowed the sandwich that she had been stuffing her cheeks with.

Cleaning up after moving, checking the condition of the new house, taking care of insects… The family, who had been working busily from the moment they woke up, held their family meeting while having a late breakfast.

“Mother, don’t I always conduct myself properly? It may be true that etiquette and manners are not my strongest forte, but the experiences from my past life are still here with me. Just how many years did you think I had been working as a full-fledged member of society?!”

How upsetting! Emma refuted her mother while puffing her cheeks out.

As there was a large scar from the monster disaster a year ago on the right cheek she puffed out, she didn’t sound convincing at all, unfortunately.

“Emma, are you really in any position to say that…?”

“Nee-sama, just how many times have you caused a commotion on our way from Palace to the Royal Capital… Did you already forget?”

‘Please, we beg of you, behave yourself for once,’ George and William lamented.

That’s right, they wouldn’t have arrived at the very last minute if Emma had only been catching insects and nothing more.

While catching insects, Emma gave rise to a commotion over and over again everywhere she went.

It was always the older and younger brother who got to suffer the most from Emma’s eccentricities.

“Now now, it will be fine since monsters don’t appear in the Royal Capital.”

Leonard, who doted too much on his daughter, defended her gently.

And even while participating in the conversation, Leonard continued moving his hands at high speed as the delicate embroidery on Emma’s dress for tonight was completed in the twinkling of an eye.

“You are too soft on her! What’s more terrifying than anything else is human beings, you know? Dragging each other down because of envy and jealousy… Tall trees catch much wind, and people hurt others to fulfill their desire… Especially, an academy full of immature children is a terrible place!”

Melsa scrunched up her face as if she was reminded of something.

“…What on earth happened during Mother’s academy days…?”

“Eh? Is the academy really such a dangerous place again?”

“No, well, I think I’m more scared of monsters, though…”

Melsa’s family was a Ducal household that took up a residence in the Royal Capital, but with the way she talked, it seemed like she didn’t live without any inconvenience either. Hearing that, the three siblings started to feel anxious at the same time.

“Anyway, one, don’t stand out. Two, don’t stand out. Three, four, too, don’t stand out. And five, don’t stand out!”

By all means, don’t stand out.

“The Tanaka family’s goal in the Royal Capital… is my warning,” Melsa emphasized.

“One more thing. George, you must pass Monster Science no matter what. Fix your dislike of studying too. You are our successor, you know?”

“…yes.”

Passing Monster Science’s exam was the prerequisite to inheriting Palace.

George replied weakly, most likely because of his lack of confidence as it was the most difficult of all the requirements.

“Also, I’m very open to student marriages. If you have a wonderful encounter, please go at it hard. If you like, marriage due to accidents… or shotgun wedding… is also welcomed.”

“ “ “Ack!?” ” ”

Even after reincarnating in another world, their mother’s offensive to fulfill her dream of hugging her grandchildren never ceased.

The goal in the Royal Capital: At any rate, don’t stand out.
