“Then, Violet— Woah!”
Having zero clue about the Lord of Skyte’s heavy emotions, Emma, fully fired up to strike while the iron is hot, grabbed her skirt and wanted to lift it up… but was stopped by William at the very last moment.
“Nee-sama! You can’t!”
“Huh? But Violet is…”
“No, listen to me well, okay? whispers Everyone will find out Nee-sama has a giant spider inside Nee-sama’s skirt, won’t they?!”
William warned his older sister while forcibly straightening down the skirt she had rolled up halfway.
“Eh? Is that not okay?”
Unfortunately, Emma didn’t even understand what was wrong with that.
“Ab. So. Lute. Ly. Not.”
William spitted out the words with a hushed voice while making his whimsical older sister sit down on the spot.
“Sorry, Violet. Can you spew out some threads for us? A kind that won’t be burnt by that monster’s fire…”
‘Just where in the world would there be a noble young lady who did such an eccentric thing as hiding a spider inside her skirt? Even though without such strangeness, everyone already started panicking about the monster’s flames…’
William was very self-aware of the fact that the people who considered Violet cute were only his family. If such a gigantic spider appeared, someone with arachnophobia might even do something as extreme as diving into the blazing sea of fire.
“Er… Ohh! So that’s what you’re trying to do!”
William made Emma sit down and hid her with his own body so she would be in others’ blind spots as he asked Violet for its thread. Seeing that, it finally dawned on Arban what they planned to do, and he also sat down next to Emma.
“All right, all right, let’s get this done and dusted quick.”
“What pattern we’ll be making?”
“A fast-to-make pattern should do, right?”
Leonard, George, and Melsa also sat down around Emma following Arban.
“Meoow♪”
And Koumei wrapped her body around the family.
“Ah, Koumei-san said fish pattern would be good.”
“Ohh, nice idea. ‘Kay, let’s get onto it.”
The moment Leonard gave the go sign, the whole family’s expression changed in a flash.
swish swish swish swish!
“?!”
“?!”
“?!”
The family sat with their backs to everyone with the cat guarding them, so while everyone couldn't see the whole picture, they could see the Stuarts’ hands moving at high speed.
“Ah!”
While the king, prince, knights, and hunters were staring blankly at that situation, Marion alone let out an exclamation.
‘That is similar to how Emma-sama is in the Embroidery class…’
“They are really crocheting a lace?”
“ “ “Huh? Why?” ” ”
Everyone found themselves at a loss again at Marion’s mutter.
‘Why crochet lace in this situation where you have the forest ahead of you and most of the campsite and all retreat paths are on fire?’
“Alright, it’s done!”
However, Emma already announced the completion of the lacework without giving anyone the time to ask for an explanation.
“ “ “Wha?” ” ”
‘ ‘ ‘No, no way you can finish one coaster that fast.’ ’ ’
“Ah! Nii-sama?! That… Isn’t that a dolphin?!”
William’s voice was heard from among the Stuarts sitting huddled together.
“Hm? Fish, right?”
“Dolphins are mammals! Geez… Ah, you also crocheted a whale there… C’mon, let’s stick to fishes only, okay?”
“Meeow.”
“Nii-sama…”
“ “George…” ”
The family all gazed at the next-in-line first son with pity in their eyes.
“Eh? No, I mean… Ah, see there? See! Even Emma made a monkfish, ya know? M-o-n-k-f-i-s-h. You wouldn’t normally pick a monkfish when thinking of fishes, wouldn’t ya?”
“Eh, but monkfish hot pot is delicious… I want to eat monkfish…”
“Nee-sama, you must never say that in front of Joshua, okay? Joshua might even dive into ocean depths, you know?”
If it wasn’t for the place, this would look like a heartwarming scene of a happy family gathering.
But, since the place they were in was like this…
“ “ “......” ” ”
The king, prince, knights, and hunters who were at a loss didn’t know what they should do. Just… ‘we are doomed.’ They prepared themselves for the situation that could even drive the Stuarts mad…
“Now, now, we’re running out of time. Everyone, stand up and spread the lace.”
…that included the calm and collected Countess Stuart,
“Hmm, everyone’s become so good at lacework in the short while I didn’t see you.”
…even the embodiment of intelligence, Professor Arban,
“Emma, see, see, Daddy also made deep-sea fish patterns. We’re matching, aren’t we~”
…that gorilla… the brawny Count Stuart too,
“Woah~ The king of herrings Father crocheted is sooo cool!”
…and that promising future hunter, George.
Everyone had gone mad…
“Onee, twooo, hup!”
wooooooooosh
However, the moment everyone heard the voice of the beautiful girl who could be mistaken as an angel, Emma, their resolve to die scattered away as if her voice worked like an antidote.
“ “ “Eh?! EHHHHHH?!!” ” ”
A purple lace suddenly appeared, drawing an arc in the air.
The area spread out gently on the ground was approximately 50 meters x 50 meters.
Let’s say it once more since it’s important.
It was a square measuring 50 meters x 50 meters.
“ “ “Eh?! EHHHHH?!” ” ”
Five minutes hadn’t even passed since the family sat down.
“Ah, c’mon, everyone! The fire will reach us soon! Get on this lacework!”
The clever and beautiful little boy who boasted tremendous popularity in Imperial Japan, William, beckoned everyone over. The flames continued to encroach on the whole campsite without slowing down.
However, something that made it seem like the fire didn’t matter was happening before everyone’s eyes.
“Uh? I beg your pardon… Count? This is…?”
The Lord of Skyte pointed at the (extra-large) fish-pattern purple lacework spread on the ground.
“As you can guess, this is an instant fire-proof cloth. It is made with a special thread, so it probably won’t catch on fire.”
Count Stuart gave a thumbs-up.
“Er… huh?”
Everyone there couldn’t utter any other words.
