Chapter 234

Outcome [Part 1]

What the Stuart family had brought to Imperial Japan was too great.

Emperor Yukarinomiya Hinomoto, along with Shogun Fujiyoshirou Toyotomi, had witnessed a miracle.

Because that Over had been exterminated without even a single trunk left.

The family headed straight to the propagation place of Over upon arriving in Imperial Japan a month ago. That night, the magic stone tablet shone.

Without heeding the samurais’ persuasion and warning, they went to the main cause of Imperial Japan’s ruin. The Emperor and the Shogun believed without doubt that the magic stone tablet had brought the news of the family’s death.

Mitsunari Ishida’s voice shook the whole time he was reading the message on the magic stone tablet.

Perhaps he read it that way so the Emperor and the Shogun would believe it?

“T-This is Fukushima... T-The giant(?) insects the family brought... huh? ...have crushed Over...! Similarly, the cats the family brought have caught all the seeds Over launched(?). We will keep up the pace and continue cutting down Over in this area... ?!“

“Huh?“

Hearing that report, the Emperor and the Shogun thought.

Such an impossible thing...

Fukushima must have gone mad from the unbearable despair.

There’s no way insects, something like insects, can crush Over.

And for cats, an animal, to catch the seeds is just ridiculous.

“My Lord, Your Imperial Majesty, I’m concerned for Fukushima. Could I please beg for your permission to go over to take a look at the situation there?” Katou, who had been holding himself back, requested with a grim expression.

Katou presented the meat he brought back.

“M-M-Monster... meat... you said?“

Some people even disliked eating four-legged animals, let alone eating monster... meat.

“Such a barbaric thing!“

The Emperor frowned at the meat presented to him as if he were looking at something dirty.

“Father, monsters are commonly eaten in the Kingdom.“

Imperial Prince Tasuku standing on stand-by near them, informed the Emperor.

“Huh?“

“The Kingdom has bigger land and population than our Imperial Japan. Developing a culture of eating monsters became inevitable because of its needs to secure food.“

“But...“

“It’s to live, Father. The Stuart family must have let Katou bring back this meat so not only the Imperial Household, the Shogun Household, the nobility, and the samurais can survive without starvation, but also the entire country.“

Imperial Prince Tasuku said with earnest eyes.

“...Katou, have they really defeated Over?“

The Emperor asked Katou calmly.

“Yes, Your Imperial Majesty. Hundreds of Over‘s stems have been crushed in one night. There’s no mistaking it because I have confirmed it with my own eyes.“

Katou said with earnest eyes.
