The Tanaka Family Reincarnates

nder if you can lend me those cheeks for a little…?”

With veins popping, he forcibly raised the corners of his mouth and smiled.

“F-Father! Calm down!”

“Joshua! Hurry up and apologize! You’ll be flung away again, y’know!”

George and William shouted at Joshua in a panic.

“No, let me make it clear right here, right now.
I love Em—…”

“HuUhHh? I can’t seem to hear yOuUU?”

Leonard went gangsta on Joshua.

“Wahhh! Come on, Nee-sama too, stop Father… Eh, HUH?!”

Joshua’s in trouble! As William thought so, he turned to the main culprit, Emma, for help, but she had already moved on to explain booklice to Oliver happily.

“…And so, the booklice will settle on the sliding door and make a shoki shoki sound…”

“Huh? Insects? But there were no such things there, though?”

“Booklice are tiny insects, that’s why… Ah, how about I go to the mansion right now to check…”

“Wait, Nee-sama—!”

‘How can you talk about insects in this situation…’ muttered William, but this was just Emma’s usual operation.

“Oh? It seems like… I have come at a bad time?”

Fukushima appeared right at the moment when Joshua was grabbed by Leonard by the neck.
Fukushima went to Edo earlier for a meeting in Edo Castle and had just returned.

“Ah, Fukushima-sama.
You’re back early… I thought you were going to take your time in Edo.
Did anything happen at the meeting?“

Leonard noticed Fukushima’s arrival and gave him a welcoming smile, still with that demon-like face.

“Your face is scary!!! I-It was nothing.
At the meeting, the discussion led to the rewarding of House Stuart… The Emperor and Shogun have also expressed that giving a reward is an absolute must, so I would like to invite everyone to Edo to—… Eh?“

Leonard’s demon face turned pale when he heard Fukushima’s words.

Emma, who was going on and on about booklice to Oliver, George and William, who were trying to rescue Joshua from Leonard’s clutches, and Melsa, who was commenting, ‘Oh, dear, oh, goodness,’ with a mood like that of a spectator, all shouted at Fukushima in sync,

“ “ “ “ “We don’t need any rewards!” ” ” ” ”
