The Tanaka Family Reincarnates - Chapter 400
Rather Than Smiling Through Fear [Part 6]
WARNING: Grotesque content
“GRRRRR!”
The sudden counterattack took aback the Fire Fox so it was a little slow to respond. When it came to, it hurriedly moved to help the Rainbow Raccoon.
“Whoops! George, leave the udon to me!”
After dropping that sentence, Leonard took out his beloved crochet hook and stabbed it into the Fire Fox’s eyes.
“GRRRRRRRRR!”
The Fire Fox was caught firmly by Leonard and couldn’t move.
The Rainbow Raccoon and the Fire Fox were utterly bewildered. Despite sensing zero signs of magic, the humans who had seen the Rainbow Raccoon’s eyes were attacking them.
The Rainbow Raccoon felt clearly that the hallucinations it cast took effect successfully. ‘Those humans’ fear should have been amplified to the maximum…
And yet, it’s not working?
Why?’
“GWEEKK!”
“GRRRRRRRRR!”
Their end came all too soon.
The dying screams of the strongest monster team who was supposed to be invincible against humans echoed throughout the campsite.
“ “Alright! William, water! Wa…ter? …huh?” ”
Just as Leonard and George asked William for water energetically, they woke up from the Rainbow Raccoon’s hallucinations. The two monsters were dead, and the vision they had seen until now disappeared.
“Eh?! Where’s the udon?!!” Leonard looked around in shock.
“Huh? Where’s the soba?!” George also looked around in shock.
“ “The thing I tore off the film, opened the lid, took out the seasoning packet of… Where did it go?!” ”
All they had to do left was add boiling water and wait for five minutes.
“ “Hm? What’s this?” ”
In the place where there should have been udon and soba lay two tragic monster carcasses whose skins were peeled off cleanly, stomachs were cut open, and internal organs were pulled and torn off.
“Hm? No, wait. It’s wrong! There’s no way cup noodles exist here in this world!”
‘That’s something from our previous world,’ Leonard organized his thoughts.
“Gasp! Huh? Ah! That… it is, isn’t it?”
‘Huh? Then, where is the thing I’ve been seeing until now?’ thought George.
“Wha? Where’s the udon? Where did the soba go? Eek! Gory! Eugh, what is this thing…?”
William, who trotted over with a water bottle, saw the remains of the Fire Fox and the Rainbow Raccoon and reflexively looked away.
“Woah… Even if they are monsters… this is way too cruel. Just who on earth did this?”
“…………”
“…………”
Leonard and George were the only ones there.
“No, that’s…”
“Um, errr…”
It turned into a very awkward atmosphere.
“William! Hurry and add the boiling water in! Eh? Huh?”
“What’s wrong?”
Seeing how William still didn’t pour boiling water no matter how long they waited, Emma and Melsa also jogged over.
Then, a sad reality befell the family who had awakened from hallucinations.
“No way, right…”
“This…”
Emma dropped to her knees in shock, while Melsa stepped back in surprise.
“Heyy, tell me it’s a lie! My stomach already feels like eating udon!”
“So cruel…” Understanding the complete truth, Emma hit her fists into the ground and grieved with all her heart.
“Does that mean that… everything’s just an illusion? There’s no udon, no soba, nothing…? So we were bewitched by a fox and a raccoon dog?”
A Fire Fox and a Rainbow Raccoon whose appearances became very tragic lay before the family. The gigantic bodies that could tower over the surroundings deflated without a shadow to be seen. No, this size was their original size, and their earlier appearances were just them using hallucinations to make them look huge.
“O-Ohh! No wonder I have always craved noodles whenever I fought Rainbow Raccoons before.”
‘Now it makes sense,’ Leonard nodded to himself.
His last encounters with Rainbow Raccoons were before he recalled his previous life. Only his soul remembered and seeing green raccoon dogs simulated the craving for noodles.
“Huh? Father? Then couldn’t you have helped supplement our monster data at that time?” replied William. “If you had helped with the materials at that time, and the portrait had been included in the monster field guide, we might not have been driven to the wall this badly,” he added.
“William, please don’t expect everyone to remember which monster picture in the field guide is missing or not.”
Leonard made an excuse, saying that he was also still studying at the time and wasn’t so attentive to such small details.
“Father…”
“Dear…”
“Eh? Huh? Does everyone actually remember such a thing!?”
“Nii-sama…”
“George…”
With a slight unease toward the successor and the future of the House of Count Stuart, the strongest team of monsters that could destroy a country had somehow been defeated miserably.
