Chapter 194

From the Meowky Theme to the Cursed Blood [Part 1]

Meo-meow meoww, meo-meow meoww

Meo-meow meoww, meo-meow meoww

Everything changed from that day (the day Emma almost got scolded by Melsa) onwards.

In addition to the battle formation drill that had originally been oriented towards physical exercise, the cats added more training for the tailless whip scorpions with their pedipalps as the focus.

“Meoww, mew mew mew meow! (Punch like you’re gouging ’em hollow!)”

“Mew mew meow!! (Must punch!!!)”

“Mew mew meow!! (Must punch!!!)”

“Mew mew meow!! (Must punch!!!)”

The tailless whip scorpions strived hard to hit a mysterious imaginary opponent over and over while being surrounded by four cats...

The shadows of their introverted selves who liked to live in seclusion was no more.

Eating raw eggs mixed in the feed, running, and rope-skipping... Emma tested various methods on the tailless whip scorpions every day. She thought of overcoming this [training] task, something she had never done before, even in her previous world, by imitating the methods she knew from her only relevant knowledge (R*cky and Jo*).

“Nee-sama... your references are too old.”

In consideration of Imperial Japan, which had isolated itself for a long time, the crisis of the propagation of Over was kept secret between only the Royal Family, the diplomat, Oliver, and House Stuart. Undesirable trouble might arise if Imperial Japan’s magic stone resources were known to other countries.

It was safer to hide everything that could be hidden.

“Emma-sama, do you mind if I watch the insects with you?“

A blue-haired boy talked to Emma with a friendly smile.

“Oh, Miguel. Have you finished making miso?“

“Yes. That said, all we had to do today was wash and soak the beans in water. Mancio, Martinho, and Julian are now resting with the ninjas.“

Joshua had painstakingly searched for soybeans for the Stuart family with his dedication as a merchant. Now that all the preparations for making miso were completed after they had obtained soybeans, the ninjas and Tarous began working on the miso this morning.

That’s right, House Stuart’s miso production officially started today.

“I can’t wait to eat it.“

Once House Stuart’s original miso was completed, drinking miso soup every morning would no longer be a dream.
