Forced By OAA To Be His Sucessor.

After 3 years...

It's been three years since Leo and Mavis came to this world and settled down in Ukiyoe town opposite the Nura clan's compound.

During this time Leo decided to open up a hotel—not just any ordinary hotel, but a continental hotel for yokai, onmyoji, shamans, etc.

In these three years...

He got this idea three years ago when he played mini-games in "Play Here."

During one of the games named Goldfish Scooping, Wakana tried to catch a fish through a paper scooper, which has thin paper.

One needs to catch the fish without damaging the paper scooper.

Whenever she catches the fish, it shakes its body violently, which results in the game loss because the paper scooper is damaged by it.

Sigh~

Looking at the defeated sigh escaping from Wakana, who tried to win this game many times, Leo moved forward and bought a ticket to try the game of goldfish scooping.

Carefully selecting one of the small fish, he moved the trap behind it slowly and started to lift.

Noticing the shop owner smirking while counting the cash he earned without paying much attention to him, it was common because it takes patience and luck to catch one of the fish with this paper scooper.

Zee~

Just when he was about to lift the fish from the water, a little current jolted from Leo's hand and hit the fish, which jumped out of the water in shock, which Leo caught in the plastic bowl where he needed to put the fish he caught.

Hehe~

'Everything is fine if we don't get caught.'

With this thought, Leo started to catch the other fish using the same trick.

The shopkeeper looked at the fish, which kept jumping correctly into Leo's bowl.

After catching the ten goldfish, the shopkeeper stopped Leo from catching further fish and hurriedly said that 10 is the limit for a person.

'Why are you looking at me like that, old man?'

Noticing the old man was sending daggers with his looks, after packing the fish in the plastic bag, Leo gave it to Wakana, who was surprised by the gesture.

"____"

"For me?"

Pointing at herself, Wakana asked with wide eyes.

She didn't expect Leo to give her the fish he had caught.

"Well, you seemed to want to catch one, so I could catch one for you."

Hearing Wakana's surprise, Leo, with a chuckle, shoved the plastic bag into Wakana's hands.

While chatting with Wakana, Leo asked her many questions curiously, like how yokai traded among themselves, how they operated among themselves, etc.,

to which Wakana answered the questions she knew, after all, she had been living all these years with Yokai.

When listening to her, suddenly Leo got a bold idea.

'Why don't I create the fucking Continental Hotel?'

After getting the idea, Leo informed Mavis about it and told her the basic concept of continental hotels and how they work.

Hearing Leo's idea, Mavis was hooked and wanted to create it right away.

Then he went to the Nura clan's mansion to meet Nurarihyon and discuss this matter with him.

When he arrived, he was greeted by the old man sitting in the courtyard viewing a peach tree and drinking sake, along with Karasu, who looked a little tense eyeing him,

while Sasami and her brothers were reporting to Nurarihyon.

It seemed like after the last incident, Karasu had PTSD regarding it.

While looking at Leo, Sasami's cheeks turned slightly red, which no one noticed.

When Leo mentioned what type of establishment he wanted to create for Nurarihyon and his plan regarding it, Karasu's face turned ashen while Kuroumaru and Tosakamaru looked at Leo in disbelief.

Sasami looked at him with wide eyes in shock, hearing the weight of the words spoken by Leo.

"Are you planning to declare war all around the world?"

Hearing all this, Nurarihyon calmly took a sip from the sake and looked at Leo with one eye open.

"Nah... I was just suggesting if it succeeded, all factions would be connected, and coordination would be a lot smoother."

Shaking his head in denial, Leo sat beside Nurarihyon, poured himself some sake, and drank it.

"And it also has many benefits if handled by the right persons."

Pouring another glass of sake for himself, Leo chimed in.

There were a few seconds of awkward silence.

Hahahaha~

"It's very interesting. I am in."

Suddenly Nurarihyon started laughing loudly, toasted his glass with Leo, and grinned.

From then on, Leo started to implement his plan while Nurarihyon was backing him.

For the first step, Nurarihyon sent an invitation to the Nura clan for a meeting after a week using his connections.

When many factions accepted the invitations, some like the Onmyoji clans and the Kyoto Yokai faction declined the invitation.

During the meeting, Nurarihyon introduced Leo and Mavis to the curious crowd who were eyeing them from the moment they entered the meeting hall.

Leo's house has become the continental hotel while the upper floor is where Leo and Mavis stay, while other floors act like the hotel.

Even though the house looks small outside, it will automatically add a floor or a room if Leo needs it.

Rikuo is being bullied by his grandpa.

If he does not attend the meeting, he will play some pranks on his friends.

Snort~

With a snort, Rikuo pouted at his grandpa sitting beside him.

'Isn't this the guy who came with Mom yesterday and presented her with goldfish? Is he a yokai like the others too?'

He noticed Leo, who was sitting on the other side, curiously.

After everyone settled down, Nurarihyon once again introduced Leo and gestured for him to speak.

Leo nodded his head and started to explain the plans he wanted to implement, which caused an uproar among the faction leaders who were present there.

Ahem... ahem...

"Let him first explain."

Looking at the ruckus in the meeting room, Nurarihyon cleared his throat and looked at everyone in the room.

Seeing the commotion, Leo took a coin and introduced how he was going to implement a currency system that would commence among the supernatural side.

After explaining, everyone in the meeting room looked at Leo with different emotions such as intrigue, curiosity, anger, mockery, etc.

They left after the meeting ended, not believing the idea Leo suggested would work.

But they didn't know they missed a golden opportunity.

Some stayed behind, like the head of Shikoku Hachijuhakki Yako Inugamigyōbu Danuki, who didn't leave even after the meeting ended and joined in the conversation with Leo and Nurarihyon.

He knew Nurarihyon very well; he wouldn't back a nobody.

Leo started actively taking in subordinates and training them to be members of the continental.

Many stray yokai who had lived hard lives without any protection or being hunted down joined the continental.

For them, it is like heaven.

They are getting trained to be strong, given salary and accommodation to live peacefully.

Most of them were very loyal to Leo and grateful to him for changing their lives.

Present...

Continental's influence slowly and steadily increased inside the supernatural circle, which became a headache for onmyoji clans or other terrorist clans who declined invitations to join the continental on that day.

Because many stray yokai from their territory started to join the continental and become their members, even some of their own betrayed and joined it.

They could feel their influence slowly start to shrink like a balloon.

Seeing this continue, all the opposers in the south joined together to attack Continental to declare war on them.
