The Tanaka Family Reincarnates - Chapter 397

Rather Than Smiling Through Fear [Part 3]

“Wait, Nee-sama, there’s no telling you’ll be able to come up with one smoothly every time, you know!”

“Emma! Don’t be reckless!”

Both William, who was sitting down because his knees were burning, and George, who was struggling to put out the fire on William, objected to Emma’s idea. Although the brothers knew full well that Emma’s creativity was off the charts, they still stopped her.

Looking at the monsters now was a suicidal act. It was too dangerous.

“Come here, Emma.”

“Emma, please be good and do as we say. I’m begging you!”

Leonard and Melsa also raised their voice.

“But…”

“Meooow!”

While everyone was opposing Emma, Koumei snuggled up to Emma nimbly as if telling her that it was alright.

“I’m not afraid of anything with Koumei-san by my side!”

Emma wouldn’t be Emma if she obeyed obediently when her family said no. She brushed the prince’s hand away and took a step forward.

“Emma… stop…”

The prince reached his hand out desperately to stop her but he was already at his limit. The flames on his side had spread all over his body.

“STOP!”

“NEE-SAMA!”

“EMMA!”

“DON’T!”

Emma lifted her face resolutely before her family’s hands could stop her.

From the knights and hunters’ reaction, she knew there was not only the Fire Fox but also the Rainbow Raccoon.

“…huh!? IT’S HUGE!!”

The Rainbow Raccoon had turned so huge that she couldn’t see its whole body just by raising her head slightly.

Emma slowly looked upwards. She couldn’t tell a thing unless she saw the whole picture. Without hesitation, she looked up from the Rainbow Raccoon’s neck to the top of its head in one breath.

“…no… no way…?”

The details of the Rainbow Raccoons’ faces were not depicted in any document on monsters. This was because those who saw the Rainbow Raccoon’s eyes would lose their sanity.

Emma’s eyes turned rounder and rounder as she looked at the Rainbow Raccoon’s face. Emma stared at the Rainbow Raccoon, which was said to drive humans crazy upon seeing it.

“It can’t be…”

Emma stiffly shifted her gaze to the Fire Fox beside it.

“Wha… Such a thing… …!”

“Emma…!”

Emma suddenly broke into a run. Moreover, she actually ran toward the two monsters instead of escaping far away in fear.

The knights and hunters on the front line were fully covered in fire and were rolling around on the ground on the outer ring of the fireproof cloth near the monsters. Emma also weaved through those bodies and continued dashing forward. With her eyes glued to the monsters, she ran towards them single-mindedly like she had lost her mind.

“…Emma!”

Leonard, who chased after Emma, was only able to stop her at the last moment just before she could step out of the fireproof cloth. Outside the fireproof cloth was a sea of fire. One would turn into charcoal if one took even a step outside. Even so, Emma showed no hesitation.

“Get yourself together, Emma!”

Leonard shook Emma’s shoulders. He unconsciously raised his voice after seeing his baby daughter was just one step away from being burned.

“Fa…the…r”

Even when Emma responded to her father’s voice, she couldn’t peel her eyes off the monsters. Her voice was barely audible and hoarse.

“Everything’s alright, Emma! Father is here!”

Leonard pulled his daughter closer. Her gaze was focused somewhere else and didn’t meet his eyes. He lived every day, every hour, every minute, and every second vowing to himself that he would protect this child no matter what.

“Emma!”

Melsa also came to Emma’s side near the edge of the fireproof cloth a few beats later than Leonard. At the edge of the fireproof cloth, where the flames burning the campsite made it hard to breathe, Melsa tried to shake Emma, who had been entranced by the monsters, awake.

“Emma!”

“Nee-sama! Why did you do something so reckless…”

George and William also darted over desperately to stop their sister.

With the family all here, the chance of a turn of events like Emma risking her life was zero.
