The Tanaka Family Reincarnates

Chapter 218



Over’s Seed [Part 3]

…In the end, what were we talking about again? …Oh, Fukushima-sama! What’s wrong with the seeds?

William looked at Fukushima as he finally brought the conversation back on track after they kept straying away from the topic.

Unable to understand any word of the family’s conversation, Fukushima just stood there with his mouth agape.

Huh?! No, why does George-kun have the seed? Weren’t the seeds supposed to have rushed about underground using the momentum of the burst, and nobody should have known where they went?

If the seeds were found before they germinated, Over‘s propagation could be subdued in its early stages. However, even though the seeds were fist-sized, they didn’t know where they could possibly be buried. Even with a human wave attack, it was still impossible to find them all.

It was difficult to dig for the seeds which had gone deep into the ground, and it also took a mental toll on them to continuously keep digging holes when they didn’t even know whether or not it was really there.

Finding a seed in such a short time, even though we arrived late to the landing point, is just impossible. Fukushima thought.

You mean these seeds? Do you want them?

Melsa stretched out both of her hands to Fukushima, who was gazing intently at the seed in George’s hand. She had a total of four seeds, with two in each hand.

Huh?! HUH?! T-There are five? HOW? What?! What just happened?

Not only Fukushima, but the other samurai escorts, were surprised as they noisily discussed among themselves.

Back then, we searched so much but were unable to even find a single one. It’s the seeds of that Over, you know?

There’s no way it was a coincidence, right?

Really, how?

When the very first of Over’s seeds fell, all the samurais gathered together to dig. At that time, they were only able to find two.

After several hours, the seeds began to absorb nutrients in preparation for its germination. The samurais, who had been digging, all collapsed, and there was no choice but to stop.

The samurais all looked on in disbelief. ‘Despite how impossible it is… they have already dug out five seeds…? With just a family of five? And four of them are made up of women and children?

Un…believable…’

“Meow meow”

Fukushima came to his senses upon hearing the cat’s meows. ‘Can I call it a cat?’ He still couldn’t come to terms with that one point, though.

Oh! Kan-chan, did you find one?!

“Meow meow!”

A giant black cat was patting the ground lightly with its front paw.

Eh?

The cats found the seeds for us. Because Over is a monster, its seeds also contain faint magic power. They said they could sense it with their nose and whiskers, so I asked them to help.” Emma explained to Fukushima with a grin.

…Hoo, what helpful cats… Cats?

Wait, wait, cats?

To begin with, eh? She can communicate with cats?

Eh? Eh? Ehh?

Emma’s explanation only brought about a new round of questions for Fukushima.

I’m going to take Violet there for a moment, okay?

” ” “Eek!!!” ” “

William turned around and ran to the black cat after he said that. Clinging to his back was a giant spider. It was the very same spider Leonard had put on his head before he disappeared.

Kan-chan, please work together with Violet, okay?

Meow!

!

William put Violet on Kan-chan‘s head.

Ooo meow meow meow meow meowww.

A giant black cat with a giant spider on his head began to dig a hole vigorously. Its front paws moved so quickly that they could only see its afterimage. As the cat kept digging, the soil which had been dug out gradually piled up like a mountain behind him.

” ” “Huh?” ” “

Meow!

A black cat popped its face out from the hole that it had dug deep. It was deep enough to hide the entirety of its huge body. It was also holding the sixth seed in its mouth.

…’Dig here, meow meow’… it said?

Fukushima and the samurais rubbed their eyes many times, but that incredulous sight remained unchanged.

Author’s words: I just wanted to say, “Dig here, meow meow.” That’s all there is to the story.
