“Cargo?”

Hmm. Arthur stroked his chin and fell into deep thought.

‘Imperial Japan is the country the Kingdom predicted to still quarry a lot of magic stones.

Normally speaking, the Kingdom does not have enough hunters to be able to readily interfere with other countries’ monster disasters. If the Stuart family had not strongly requested to go to Imperial Japan, the Kingdom would not have sent anyone as an aid for sure.

If the family caused a miracle and resolved the disaster, the train of thought would be that Imperial Japan had let them bring back magic stones in large amounts.

On the other hand, if they couldn’t do anything about the disaster and Imperial Japan was destined to perish in the end... Considering the family’s soft-hearted nature, they might take as many Imperial Japanese as they could on their ship and evacuate them to the Kingdom...

‘Though the latter seems much more likely to happen.’

“It seems like the contents of their cargo are a secret, right, Caitlyn?”

“The contents of their cargos are a secret, Catherine.”

The twins were also left wondering as they weren’t privy to the details.

Whether the secret cargo is valuable magic stones or masses of refugees, both are a big problem. Arthur was torn between reporting this to the royal castle and keeping this speculation to himself.

It would be a disaster if the Kingdom’s people knew they intentionally returned with the seeds of a plant monster from Imperial Japan. If they were extremely unlucky, they might get caught by the Knight Order. After all, it was hundreds of times more dangerous than bringing in an introduced species.

The preconception Melsa had was that a country with a strict quarantine system and other regulations... was a dangerous place in the world. ...That being said, she still thought it was better to have a strictly regulated quarantine, though.

“The cats and tailless whip scorpions too, you guys should help with the unloading when we arrive at the Kingdom, okay?”

The ship was fully loaded with Over’s seeds and rubble, so during the voyage, the cats and tailless whip scorpions slept and ate in the same room as the family.

“ “ “ “Meowww!!!” ” ” ”

*rustle rustle rustle rustle rustle rustle*

The cats and the tailless whip scorpions happily replied to Melsa when they heard they could finally get off of the narrow ship.

Author’s note:

Joshua: During the sail... it was common to have a tailless whip scorpion... right in front of me when I turned over in my sleep...

Also Joshua: When moving around on the ship... stubbing my pinky toe on a tailless whip scorpion... happened pretty often, huh...

Oliver : WHAT’S THAT?! WHAT IS THAT?! WHAT IS THAT THINGGGG?!!! ←He shut himself in the toilet (the only place with no tailless whip scorpions) day and night and was scolded by Melsa.
