Chapter 215

The First Seed [Part 5]

Fukushima’s POV

“...Is it over? Is everyone alright? No one’s hurt?“

When I looked up, I saw the Stuart family’s cat-like creatures covering and protecting each of their masters with their bodies. Such dependable pets...

“Scary! Over is scary! What the heck was that tremor?!“

William-kun expressed his fright while being helped up by the cat.

“We have a trauma of earthquakes, after all~“

After letting go of the hands which were clinging to the cat’s neck, Lady Emma brushed the dust off her clothes and directed her gaze towards the spot where Over‘s first seed had fallen.

Despite experiencing the landing of Over‘s seed at such a close distance, neither the two of them cried or shrieked. The courage those two small children had was really beyond my belief.

“I’m going to take a look.“

George-kun mounted the cat’s back nimbly and headed toward the landing point.

...Once again, could cats be ridden?

“Ah, Nii-sama! I’m going too!“

“Me too~“

William-kun and Lady Emma also rode their cats and chased after George-kun.

“Wait...! The cats... are so fast...“Alll latest novels on novelbin/(.)com

I didn’t even have the chance to stop them.

“Sigh... I will head there too.“

After letting out a sigh which seemed like it could freeze the atmosphere, Melsa-dono also straddled the white cat and followed after them.

Only the samurais, including me, and Count Stuart were left there.

“...“

“WHA—?!!!!!“

“W-W-What was that...? Fukushima-sama, just w-what exactly is t-that family...?“

Even if you asked me, I was also confused. That was what I wanted to ask too.

The only thing I could say was...

“A samurai will never go back on his own words. All of you, don’t speak a word about this to anyone.“

...was this.

I mounted my horse to go after the family and left a few escorts behind to keep watch of the carriages.

“P-Pardon... Fukushima-sama!“

One of the samurais assigned as lookout called out to me as if he had made up his mind about something.

“What’s wrong?“

Guarding the carriages was also a commendable job.

Now that the first Over seed had been shot, standing here at this point in time had turned into a life-threatening mission.

There shouldn’t be any samurais who would complain about their duty...

“Yes, it’s about the Stuart family’s carriage over there... I keep hearing rustling sounds from it... Just what exactly is inside?“

There’s still something else?!

“...Just leave it as is.“

Leaving the ashen-faced samurai behind, I went after the Stuart family.
