Tanuki Rise of the Yokai Clan

How would your expression be if a meteor dropped suddenly from the sky?

This was how their current expression was.

His appearance brought so much of an impact on their minds.

"...Tanuki-chan?" Kana asked in doubt. Yet, how could she not be? The seemingly lazy, cute, and arrogant tanuki, who lay on the top of her head like it was a matter of course, would become such a handsome boy.

While handsome was an appropriate word to describe his appearance, the word "beautiful" also fitted well.

His long silver, pinkish hair flowed gracefully, yet his regal-like face was kind of inhuman, making them realize that he wasn't a human, especially his pointed ears and slanted golden eyes with slit pupils.

If this wasn't Japan, they might mistake him for an Elf from the Western storybook.

Yet, for one thing, they couldn't take their eyes away from him.

"It's not Tanuki-chan. Call me, Tamazuki-sama." He poked Kana's forehead helplessly.

Kana covered her forehead subconsciously, feeling a bit shy, and she nodded while blushing. "Um, Tamazuki-chan." Still, she stuck out her tongue cutely, showing her annoyance at his gesture. She could tell they were about the same age, yet why should he pretend he was older?

"....."

"Wh-who are you?!"

Yet, unlike Kana, who felt everything would be alright, the group of Gagoze lost their calm. It was easy to tell how a youkai was strong or not from their appearance.

While Tamazuki hid his aura, his appearance made the group of Gagoze nervous.

The group of Gagoze didn't know who this boy was, but they could feel how dangerous he was, especially when he ripped apart one of their comrades.

However, he ignored them since he got his reward from the system. For him, the group of Gagoze was nothing but trash. He could kill all of them anytime he wanted to.

In other words, the system was more important.

Frankly, he had prepared that he wouldn't receive a reward since Kana was young, and the relationship he created with her was nothing but a "contractual relationship."

A "contractual relationship" is like the name it is. It is a relationship between a youkai and a human under contract. Usually, the human asks a request to the youkai, such as business prosperity, an inhuman ability, or even killing someone. Naturally, the human has to pay the youkai, and the payment can be anything, depending on the type of youkai, including the life of the human who signs a contract.

As a youkai, he could do the same, and Kana made that contract with him.

His system was a harem system, and the "contractual relationship" shouldn't be counted as a harem member, right?

Yet...

<Congratulations, you have received your first harem member!>

<Why? I am sure that you are surprised, but if you think that a harem is just a relationship between a male with a lot of lovers, then you are wrong! The way of the harem is deep. The beginning of your relationship doesn't matter, but having many types of relationship are more interesting, right? Like a teacher, aunt, neighbor's wife, and so on. The contractual relationship is the same. As of now, while her heart isn't yours, her body is yours. It doesn't matter if she loves the protagonist as long as you have her body, and with Nurarihyon's scrawny physical ability, how could he match your unmatched tanuki balls? The protagonist might be able to get the hearts of the heroines, but the heroines' bodies are yours>

"..."

Beast...

This system was a beast!

<However, as she is still too young, you need to wait until she has become an adult, and because of that, you only receive half of the reward>

<You have received: "Enhanced Learning (Incomplete)">

Fortunately... fortunately...

At least he didn't need to be afraid of being banned.

Yet, he had to say; his reward was quite good. His reward might seem plain, but for him, this was amazing since, with this reward, his learning ability was almost instant.

His reincarnation on Tamazuki Inugamigyoubu gave a slight mutation, and this mutation gave him an advantage instead of a disadvantage. One of the advantages of this mutation was the ability to learn faster.

However, when he got this reward, he could learn almost anything in an instant.

All the knowledge, skills, and techniques which he didn't have time to learn before had been learned by him, which made him amazed by his reward.

"Hey! Answer me!"

While he had been thinking about his reward and system, the group of Gagoze had become angry since he had been ignoring them. The surprise and fear they had felt before almost disappeared when they calmed down, especially when they saw how small he was.

"Kill him!"

The difference in strength bed level between them was obvious, but sometimes the stupidity of villains was too excessive.

'Such a young youkai... without a doubt, he is weak!'

'We're in a group, and he is alone! There's no way he's our opponent!'

'The reason why he could kill one of us before is that he attacked us so suddenly!'

Their inner thought encouraged their stupidity, and they attacked him without hesitation.

"Watch out!"

"Hey, be careful!'

"Tamazuki-chan!" Kana called his name out in worry.

"As I have said before, add "-sama" instead of "-chan."

Leaving those words, Tamazuki ripped another Gagoze as easily as he tore a paper with his hands. However, this wasn't the end since he started to massacre. His figure dashed from one place to another, leaving an afterimage because of how fast he was. Yet, as he disappeared from one place to another, the number of Gagoze kept decreasing as they died under his claw-like fingernails.

"Wh-who are you?!"

The leader of the Gagoze started to panic since Tamazuki had almost killed all of them. Tamazuki might not have released his "Osore," but how easy it was for him to kill all of his comrades gave him horror.

His figure was like a wolf in front of a group of sheep. No one could stop him, and he massacred the majority of Gagoze with ease.

Then, when he killed all of them, leaving the leader, he asked, "Any last words?"

While the children screamed happily since they were saved, Gagoze was scared silly.

"S-stop! Do-don't kill me! I-I am a member of the Nura Clan! If you kill me, then you will receive the anger of the Nura Clan! All of the members of our clan, including my leader, Nurarihyon, will kill you!"

Gagoze could only use this method to scare Tamazuki.

Unfortunately, Tamazuki was bored and just raised his hands, ready to kill Gagoze.

Gagoze was desperate since he didn't want to be killed. His future should be bright, and he should become the next commander of the Nura Clan!

How could he die under this nameless brat?!

Yet, in his desperation, someone came.

A loud bang was heard, causing everyone to be startled.

From then, a light entered the tunnel, and they saw a massive hole forming on the side of the tunnel.

Yet, the one who made this hole wasn't the rescue worker, police, or even the firefighters.

"Yo-Youkai!"

"Is-is it their friends?"

The children became scared since all the youkai who appeared so suddenly had a scary appearance, which wasn't even lost to the group of Gagoze.

However, the appearance of this group brought hope to Gagoze, and he quickly recognized the young master of the Nura Clan, who had become a youkai, even though he wasn't sure how.

"Rikuo-sama, help me! Everyone help me! My clan is attacked! All of my people died! He is the—"

Before Gagoze finished his words, claw-like fingernails ripped his body apart.

As Gagoze died, leaving an unwilling scream, all the members of the Nura Clan were dumbfounded by this development.

Shouldn't they come to save the children from the clutch of Gagoze?

Yet, why did they see Gagoze and all his clan members die?

Even the young master of the Nura Clan, who wanted to save his friends, was stunned in a place.

Everyone from the Nura Clan focused their attention on this boy, whose age should be similar to their young master, yet his fierceness was something that their young master impossible to have since his presence gave them a shudder and made an expression of the core members become dignified.

Similar to them, it was his first time meeting the protagonist along with his group.

'As expected, I am more handsome.'

He thought at that moment.
