Extra Story – To the Royal Capital [Part 3]
George lay down on the cat container heavily with a flop.
“Ahh… I can totally fall asleep in seconds here.”
“Nii-sama, you can fall asleep whenever and wherever, tho—… Wow, rather than calling it a cat container… it’s more like Catbus!”
The one-horned rabbit summer fur color also contributed a huge factor in making it look like the dream vehicle of all cat lovers.
“Huff!” With a pant that sounded pretty much like a granny, Emma also lay down beside George.
“Ahh, so comfy~ It’s already warm enough even though we’re using summer fur.”
“Fuu, I’ll prolly be fine riding this Catbus on the way to Royal Capital.”
“Me too…”
The brother and sister enjoyed the fluffy fur while rolling around on the carriage floor.
The two soon dozed off before they knew it, and after William had just finished helping his mother, he went to the garden and found the conspicuous looking carriage and took a peek inside.
“Ah, you two! What are you doing in a place like this after passing on the task to help Mother to me… Eh? What’s this? Isn’t this a Catbus?”
William also got inside and lay down beside Emma.
“Eh? Isn’t this super comfy to sleep on?”
The balmy sunlight above paired with the soft fur under… William also started to doze off.
“I didn’t see you anywhere. Turns out you’re in a place like this, huh.”
Leonard, who had also just returned from hunting with George a while ago, peeked inside the carriage.
“T-This is Catbus?”
“Geez, everyone, I thought you’d run off somewhere…”
Melsa, who had just finished arranging the documents related to territory management, peeked inside the carriage.
“T-This is… Catbus?”
The family of five was sleeping peacefully inside the Catbus.
Koumei was grooming herself while watching over this peaceful scenery when Ryuu-chan, Kan-chan, and Chou-chan gathered beside her after they finished hunting.
“Oomeow!”
“Mew mew?”
“Meow.”
“Oomeow?”
“Meow.”
“Mew mew mew.”
*achoo!* Emma sneezed.
Although she said it was warm because of the sunlight and fur, perhaps it’s still too cold for Emma to take a nap outside at this time of year because she didn’t have any fur… Koumei peeked inside the carriage, a little concerned. “Meow?”
(Huh? The weird smell is gone?
That unpleasant smell earlier is gone after the sunroof was opened and the carriage interior was sun-dried.
The smell of the sun, Emma, George, William, Leonard, and Melsa…
This space filled with the smell of Emma and the family I love… The feeling of the shorter fur that is gentle to the paws… Maybe it’s… not so bad…?
A nap with Emma and our family in the garden… Not bad at all!)
Koumei got on the carriage smoothly and squeezed her body into the space between Emma and George forcibly.
“Umm, Koumei-san, so warm…”
Emma snuggled up to Koumei while still half-asleep.
After seeing that, Kan-chan also lay beside George, Ryuu-chan also went in between William and Emma, and Chou-chan rested his body weight on Leonard, who was sleeping between William and Melsa.
“*choke* Chou-chan… You’re too heavy…”
In their previous life, Kazushi’s lap was Chou-chan‘s exclusive seat as well as his favorite napping place.
The cats purred with satisfaction.
The family of five and four cats were squeezing together in the carriage and sleeping peacefully in supreme bliss.

“Uhh… What does this mean?”
Joshua tilted his head. He had just returned to House Stuart after making a super quick trip to the market and had obtained hippopotamal skin in perfect condition before it was cut up.
The cats, who previously said they didn’t like the cat carriage very much, were now sleeping comfortably in it. Not only the cats but the whole Stuart family were sleeping comfortably together.
“Um… Can I take this as an OK for the cat carriage…?”
The only answer Joshua got for his question was a light snoring sound of the blissfully sleeping Stuart family and the cats.

One month later
The cats and the Stuart family departed to the Royal Capital on a carriage.
In the end, the family and the cats rode on the same carriage, and Joshua rode alone on the carriage initially meant for the family to use.
“Wuuu, I thought I would be in the same carriage as Emma-sama for fifteen days…”
Joshua read the documents of the Rothschild Company’s Royal Capital branch store that he was entrusted with while holding back his tears.
The one pulling the slightly overweight carriage with four cats and five family members inside was not a horse but a single donkey. The donkey’s head was covered with a sun shade cloth, and Violet was hiding inside it. A series of sightings of a small donkey pulling a huge carriage would startle many people along the way.
Before departure, Leonard held the embarrassing ritual of their family while grinning.
“Alrighty, everyone’s already here… ‘Stuart family! Roll Call! Order!‘”
“Oneee” Leonard shouted and saluted.
“Twooo” Melsa shouted and saluted.
“Threee” George shouted and saluted.
“ “DAAA” ” Emma and William shouted and raised their fists.
“ “ “ “Meoowww” ” ” ” The cats meowed and imitated Emma and William by raising their paws.
After the roll call, the whole family laughed together like usual.
One year had passed since they remembered their past life memories.
Even without finding any hidden knowledge, cheats, skills, roles, or meanings, the Tanaka family would continue enjoying their life in another world in their own way.
As long as they had the spirit… as long as they were with their family, they could achieve anything.
After fifteen days of travel, their life in the Royal Capital… would begin.
