The Tanaka Family Reincarnates - Chapter 6
Chapter 6 – The First Tanaka Family Meeting
Minato’s POV
It’s the first Tanaka family meeting after reincarnation.
Emma’s shed was not only Emma’s insect-loving castle, but also the Stuart count family’s silkworm research laboratory, so it had a small meeting room, among other facilities.
Emma had been obsessed with bugs from as long as she can remember, and her genius talent only bloomed when it came to insects and other bugs.
As a result of Emma’s efforts in selective breeding, feed improvement, and breeding environment maintenance, the silkworms of Palace County[1], or Palace, grew to astounding lengths of 50 centimeters each.
[T/N 1: Palace Country is the territory governed by Emma’s family, a.k.a. the Stuart family.]
The objective was to have one silkworm to make enough silk for one dress, but if the silkworms got any bigger, the increased cost of care-taking and feeding would make it unprofitable. Therefore, Emma was currently researching the possibilities of keeping the silkworm lengths as-is while increasing the number of cocoons made.
Emma… what a terrifying child…
The whole family gathered in the small meeting room in Emma’s shed and were discussing the reincarnation, but…
Dazzling…
My younger brother alone radiated beauty, but this time the experience was 3x as strong.
Father and Older Brother had blond hair and purple eyes too.
Their faces were… not quite the sweet mask type[2], but they looked refined. On top of that, they had strong features.
[T/N 2: Sweet mask is a term used to describe men’s faces with soft features, giving off an impression of gentleness or warmth.]
Mother also had blond hair, but her pupils were light green.
Mom being mom, and because she looked like a strong, assertive beauty, it seemed like she would be intimidating if she got angry.
…correction, she’d be super-duper frightening. In Emma’s memory, she was most afraid of her mother.
Father and mother, who had been over 60, were now the same age as their daughter was in the past life.
Aah… but I like assertive beauties.
I was similarly dazzling because I had blond hair and light green eyes, just like Mother, but I had a bland face that seemed to have been created by avoiding all of mother and father’s strong features. Why!!??
From now on, I’d have to be more conscious about my appearance. After all, Emma had had nothing but insects on her mind. Perhaps I could still salvage this.
Back to the matter at hand, I was keen to hear what the once-extremely-ordinary Tanaka family members thought about the current circumstances.
“Everyone… Aren’t we too good-looking?”
“No, that’s just how it is in this world,” Big Brother George answered matter-of-factly.
What! That’s how it is in this world, I guess.
Maybe it was because Emma had no sense of attractiveness in people (absolutely zero interest), my own biased point of view, or perhaps that everyone else’s past life memories were still vague, but the only one who felt uncomfortable seemed to be me, inheriting 100% of my past life memories.
Anyway, like I said, my younger brother is now an ethereally pretty boy…
“In our past life, everyone had a plain-looking face with black hair black eyes, so it’s hard to accept the gap!”
Everyone was so beautiful that our past life appearance was depressing by comparison.
“No, Emma, be it now or as Minato in the past, you’re exceptionally cute,” said my father Leonard seriously, with a sweet smile. Be it now or in the past, he dotes on his daughter as always.
After we talked about Peita’s and my knowledge of reincarnation, we went on to have an exciting chat.
‘The Circle of Reincarnation’ is an Oriental concept that any Japanese person could understand even without any otaku knowledge, so the whole family accepted it easily.
We were the type of family who didn’t overthink things.
By the way, black hair in this country meant that the person with it had royal blood.
Black hair being rare felt strange to a Japanese person like myself; It also meant that blond-haired princes on white horses didn’t exist in this country.
If dazzling beauties were the norm here, as Big Brother said, I look forward to seeing how dazzling other things will be.
