The Tanaka Family Reincarnates - Chapter 398
Rather Than Smiling Through Fear [Part 4]
George collected information by defeating monsters on the field, William analyzed their findings in detail with his abundant knowledge, and Emma devised countermeasures. This was the procedure they had always followed to make monster karuta. Anything could be done casually but this procedure. They must adhere to it strictly.
For Emma to sacrifice herself on the field to solve their problems, the family would absolutely, unquestionably, and one hundred percent never approve of such a method. Leonard, Melsa, George, and William didn’t want to relive such a heart-wrenching and painful experience like the local barrier hazard ever again.
“Mo…the…r?”
“It’s okay, Emma! My daughter, Mother’s here!”
Melsa replied to Emma’s feeble calling voice.
“Onii…sa…ma….?”
“Emma! Get yourself together!”
George answered Emma’s trembling call for her older brother.
“Willi…am… Hurry… Hurry…”
“I’m here! What is it, Nee-sama!?”
When Emma called her younger brother with an urgent voice, William leaned forward. He thought in his heart that he would listen to anything his older sister said as long as it could make her take her eyes off the monsters.
“Hurry… Boil water…”
“Got it! Water, is it? Eh… boil water?”
William replied, “Got it!” reflexively but was then confused by Emma’s words.
“Boil water?”
“Huh?”
“What is she saying…?”
‘Is she feeling cold?’ Leonard held out his arms to hug Emma but was brushed off by her as she exclaimed, “That’s not what I meant!”
“Emma!?”
“Look at that!”
Emma pointed straight at the monsters’ direction. She did despite the knights who pointed in the same direction earlier and those who turned their heads at their voices now became masses of flames rolling around on the ground.
“Nee-sama… What are you saying… seriously…”
William frowned at the possibility that it was too late to turn his sister away from the monsters’ psychic attack.
“Never mind that, hurry up! It’s fine! If we don’t hurry, they will escape!” Emma shouted.
There were only monsters in the place Emma told them to look. Emma’s behavior was clearly strange.
Still,
“William?”
“…yes.”
George and William looked at each other and nodded. They were already out of options. If so,
“Right. Let’s trust Emma.”
Melsa also resolved herself.
“Yeah. I agree. If I, her own father, wouldn’t believe her, then who would?”
‘If Emma told me to look, then just look.’ Leonard made up his mind.
“Listen up! On the count of three, we will lift our heads, okay?”
Leonard wiped the cold sweat that broke out from his nervousness. If the family fell here, the king would surely be annihilated altogether. Even so,
“Yes!”
“ “Roger!” ”
Melsa, George, and William had no objections.
Because Emma being strange was nothing new.
“One, twooo…”
Following Emma, the four lifted their faces toward the monsters decisively and opened their eyes.
“ “ “ “!” ” ” ”
Leonard, Melsa, George, and William were speechless the moment they saw it. Then, they moved their gazes from the Rainbow Raccoon to the Fire Fox as Emma did.
“ “ “ “*gasp!*” ” ” ”
Their eyes widened in shock, and they shifted their gazes back from the Fire Fox to the Rainbow Raccoon. The family looked at the two monsters back and forth numerous times. The way the family moved identically made them look like meerkats on alert. Their expressions were as serious as that.
Leonard’s cold sweat trickled down his cheeks. To their amazement, the Rainbow Raccoon’s appearance looked very familiar to the family. The Tanaka family, born and raised in a remote countryside in Japan in their previous life, knew that animal. One slight difference was that its fur took on the color of the lush trees because behind it was the forest.
“ “ “ “…………” ” ” ”
Also, the Fire Fox burning crimson next to it. Memories of their lives as Tanakas accurately associated the two monsters with creatures they knew. The Fire Fox burning bright red was…
“Red…Red Fox…?” George’s lips trembled.
… and the Rainbow Raccoon whose fur color turned tree green was…
“G….Green… Raccoon… Dog…?” William’s lips trembled.
“That’s… them, right?”
“…R-Right…”
Leonard and Melsa agreed with their sons.

Renvix
does anyone have any pictures that relate to the fox and raccoon looks they mentioned?
Plateau
I googled it and it looks like you’re typical fox with a bright red fure and a greenish brown racoon.
My guess with Emma idea is that those 2 look a lot like the animal representation of the fire fox and Tanuki (bonus given there respective ability), and so she has an idea yokaï related. Or juste wild animal control type idea.
Johei
I think they’re just talking about regular Japanese red fox and Tanuki. The colour red and green are because that’s what the monsters fur currently looks like.
My reasoning is because they mentioned “remote country side” specifically, otherwise I’d think of pokemon ?
Liddell
When I specifically looked up a red fox and a green tanuki, I found this article about a Splatoon collab with a noodle company, which definitely was red VS green. Maybe that’s what we’ll find in the next chapter?
