Chapter 375
The Queen’s Letter [Part 3]
“In any case, we must defeat them before His Majesty goes berserk…!”
“Right.”
As the knight’s cries of fear became contagious, Arban fired an arrow before William could finish his sentence. Bows and arrows capable of long-range attacks are effective for monsters that are difficult to approach.
But,
“Ah!”
“…I missed, huh.”
Arban scrunched his face.
Rainbow raccoons were nimble and had excellent eyesight. Even Arban, who had mastered archery, seemed to have lower accuracy due to the constraint of not making eye contact with the target.
“Alrighty, let’s prepare to return while we still can.”
Leonard lifted his head.
“Uh-huh.”
“Eh?”
“Okaayy.”
Emma’s hands also reluctantly left the King’s cheeks.
“William, should we collect all those for now?”
George, who was standing a little further away, had already moved behind William from who knows when.
“Umm… Since Father said those monsters are not that tasty, I don’t really feel like collecting them… The fur… I also have never seen them being sold anywhere.”
“Even if we collect them, will we have any use for them…” Despite silently complaining, William still followed behind George.
“Wait a minute? Emma-chan, Prof. Arban said he missed just now, didn’t he?”
The King was confused, unable to keep up with the Stuart family’s sudden switch to ‘retreating mode.’
“Yes. Uncle’s arrow missed one rainbow raccoon.”
“My apologies, Your Majesty. We think it would be safer to leave the forest now than to chase and kill the one who has escaped…”
Arban bowed his head to the King.
“…Eh? You got eight of them?! In that instant?!”
“Yes. The bowstring of this Palace bow is special and more lethal than it looks.”
Arban responded with a smile while sending glances at Emma. The bow made from Violet’s thread, as proposed by Emma, was a priceless treasure at the monster hunting scene.
“Ah… Is that so?”
‘If anything, I was more surprised by your control of the bow, though…’ The King replied vaguely.

He couldn’t believe that eight monsters were defeated in a flash by Arban’s spaghetti arms.
“Meow♪”

After hearing they would retreat from the forest, Koumei circled the place and cat-splatted the knights terrorized by fear under the rainbow raccoons’ psychic attack.
“Well, it’s kinda troubling that defeating rainbow raccoons won’t cancel the effects of their psychic attacks.
It’s a relief that Koumei-san is with us now,” uttered Leonard.
“I’m used to defeating monsters, but it’s hard to control your strength when facing human opponents, isn’t it~”
George nodded to his father’s remark while holding six rainbow raccoons he had finished collecting. Handling humans is a work too delicate for a gorilla.
“Woah… Will we have any use for these?”
William joined his father, uncle, and older brother belatedly while dragging two rainbow raccoon bodies behind him.
“Hey, this… Its fur color still changes even when it’s already dead, huh…”
The rainbow-colored raccoon that William dragged was of earth color, and the ones that George was holding had changed to colors that blended perfectly with the background, matching the color and texture of George’s hands, clothes, and even the sky.
“…Which means, if we sew this into a coat, and let His Majesty in his current appearance wear it… in the end, it will be…”
Emma ran over, wanting to see the monsters that rarely appeared in Palace, but immediately gasped when catching a glimpse of the rainbow raccoons.
“The Emperor’s New Clothes…”
“ “ “PFFT!!!” ” ”
Leonard, George, and William wheezed.
“Hey, Nee-sama! Stop that!”
“Emma, you…”
“Yup, yup, Emma is such a jokester.”
The Stuart family giggled loudly because of the joke from their previous life.
“…Eh? Was there anything funny just now?”
“Uhh, who knows?”
However, the knights and hunters nearby were all confused.
“Ughh…”
And Arban, who didn’t get the joke even though he was also a Stuart, could only groan in loneliness.
“Alrighty, let’s speed up our retreat. We have to return to the Royal Capital.”
The naked King raised his proud, magnetic voice.
They must return to the Royal Capital before it was attacked.
However, the family would later regret not finishing off that one rainbow raccoon that Arban’s arrow missed.
…as it would only be a short countdown to the encounter between the vengeful rainbow raccoon and the monster sent by the Empire.
