The Tanaka Family Reincarnates

ing to explain the situation to the Imperial Prince.

“William-dono…… What exactly is going on?“

The ninja, Momochi, who was holding bread in his right hand and a potato salad bowl in his left, desperately protecting them even as he was abducted by Koumei-san, asked William an explanation.

“Meow~!”

“Meow meow!”

“Meow~?”

“Meow meow?”

The cats gathered around Momochi.

Ninja Momochi trembled at the sight of the huge cats.

“W-Wh-What is it? Eh? Eh? Eh?“

The ninja slowly shrunk away from the cats and hit the wall.

He had nowhere to go.
On his back was a wall.
On his front, left, and right were cats.
There’s no escape.

This is not a kabe-don.
This is a kabe-meow.

[T/N 1: 壁ドン kabe-don and 壁にゃん kabe-meow]

“They are asking you, ‘Are there bonito flakes in Imperial Japan?’“

Emma squeezed through the gaps of the kabe-meow and interpreted when she reached Momochi.

“Katsuobushi!? ………? Eh? Bonito flakes!? ………eh??“

” ” ” “Meow~ meow!” ” ” “

If you took it at face value, they were just cats who were begging cutely to eat katsuobushi.
But from Momochi’s point of view, it felt threatening because of the cats’ size.

“I-If it’s katsuobushi, there should still be more in stock than rice! The cause of our food shortage is that the crops… d-didn’t grow, so……”

In that instant, Momochi made an ‘Oh shoot!’ expression.

They had heard that the food shortages were because of the bad weather, but it seems there were other reasons.

“Well then, I have to contact the Rothschild Company to bring some katsuobushi back too…“

William called a mansion servant and requested a messenger to go to Joshua.

“Eh? Kachuomushi?”

“It’s katsuobushi.”

“Karuomushi?”

“Katsuobushi……”

“Kuruoshii?”

This doesn’t work at all…

Rice is the staple food of Imperial Japan, but katsuobushi is hard to explain.

“……won’t it be faster if one of us goes to Imperial Japan instead?”

Even if they handed an order form in Imperial Japanese to the Rothschilds, they would never know if the real thing was correct if they were not a Tanaka.

Katsuobushi doesn’t look like food at first glance, after all…
