The Fifth Tanaka Family Meeting [Part 2]

“Also, it seems that you’ve spent quite a lot of money too, George?”

“Urk! U-Uh, there were many evening parties... and we ran out of paint, so we had to restock them... Also... the cost for the construction of the slums... like roads, buildings... And since the slum people became citizens of our territory, we prepared their family register and gave them a simple medical examination... They needed education too, so we hired teachers... Plus, we put up work arrangements so they could earn a living at the same time... In addition, the maintenance of the breeding environment for tailless whip scorpions and the cost of running the treatment center for scurvy patients...”Cheêck out latest novels on novel/bin(.)com

The end of George’s sentences all turned into weak mumbles because he was scared of getting scolded.

Whenever Emma muttered her thoughts, Joshua would take notes and put her ideas into action immediately. That was why everything was finished at an impossible speed.

The construction of the treatment center, in particular, was done abnormally fast because the Prince sleeping on Emma’s lap left a hole in Joshua’s heart.

Joshua... that’s not what you should be competing at, no?

“*Sigh*...”

When Melsa sighed, the whole family all looked at her, trembling.

“How can you make so much fuss in just two weeks?”

” ” ” “W-We have no idea......” ” ” “

“M-Melsa? Should we move on to the agenda of our family meeting now?”

This was a family meeting held after they had deliberately forced the servants to withdraw. Thinking that it would be a waste of time if it only ended with them getting scolded, Leonard raised his right hand firmly and suggested changing the topic.

“...Well, I guess that’s fine.”

Melsa’s expression changed completely from strict to gentle, as if someone had flipped her switch. However, her change to gentle mode was so subtle that only her family could tell the difference.

“Mother, have you obtained them?”

Emma asked excitedly with anticipation.

“Yes. I was able to bring rice, miso, soy sauce, and dried bonito home this time.”

” ” ” “Ohhhh—! As expected of Mother/Melsa!!!” ” ” “

It seemed that they could eat freshly cooked rice and miso soup tonight.

“It’s a feast~ Prepare for a feast~,” the three siblings and Leonard beamed with joy.
