The Tanaka Family Reincarnates

”

‘Mother’s gaze is scary.
When Mother looks like this, Nii-sama and William definitely won’t help me.
If I say it isn’t my fault, or keep going against her here, her impending wrath might even call down a smoldering thunder.
I at least know that much from experience.

Uh-huh.
If it has come to this, I can only try to gloss it over nicely.’ thought Emma as she gulped.

“S-So… um, t-that… uh… W-Well, just look at the tailless whip scorpion-chans’ splendid… uh… pincers!!! I’m sure, I’m sure they can cut Over into pieces!”

The tailless whip scorpions, who were feeling down in remorse while listening to the mother and daughter’s conversation, all looked at Emma at once the moment she said that.

As if they could understand the Kingdom language, they started shaking their pedipalps in a fluster, saying, “No way, no way, no way.
That’s impossible!!!”

—Hey, these are not pincers, but whips.

We are not pincher bugs, but tailless whip scorpions.

“If every living thing were of the same size, insects would be the strongest of all… was what I remember, having read in a certain manga!!” 

—What’s up with that baseless, absurd reason?!!! No way, no way, no way, we can’t. The tailless whip scorpions denied what Emma said even more desperately.

Although we look like this… we are just introverts who don’t bite and prick people! We are not poisonous!

Um, we… are basically harmless folks… who just like to shut ourselves at home.

“Just look at this eagerness! Mother!!! I’m confident these children can pull it off!”

*DU-DUUN!* Emma made a display of the huge tailless whip scorpions to Melsa.

The insects who had been shaking their arms while shouting, “No way, no way, no way,” suddenly stiffened.
They had a bad feeling that their raised shaking arms were taken the wrong way, and what Emma conveyed to Melsa was completely different from their intention.

To not get scolded, Emma would use any excuse she had to make her getaway.

To not get scolded, Emma was ready to turn lies into truth.

Emma had already begun to think about the combination of the feed that would make these tailless whip scorpions’ arms into super Over cutters that even surpassed the sharpness of Imperial Japan’s national treasure of a katana.

It’s not a matter of it being possible or impossible.

‘Cause I will make it happen.

Everything Emma did with that resolve was to avoid getting scolded.

Author’s words: Why of course the tailless whip scorpions would turn huge.
