Tanuki Rise of the Yokai Clan

Chapter 12: Did I enter a plot by accident?

When he entered the bus, he made his body invisible to the eyes of ordinary people.

As a youkai, if they wanted to, they could let themselves be hidden from the eyes of ordinary people. Naturally, those were some special people who were able to see the youkai with their eyes, and it seemed this girl that could trigger his system to be that kind of special person.

"What's wrong, Kana?"

The girl looked at the corner of the bus with doubt before she shook her head at her friend's question. "Nothing. By the way, what do you think of today's math class..."

"Ah, it's so hard!"

Tamazuki was in his youkai form, looking curiously at this girl, who was about the same age as him. Unlike in his previous memory, where everything was in the form of a manga or anime, this was a reality, so there was a big change in the appearance of the characters. Honestly, if someone saw a youkai, they would be scared silly since their appearance was really that menacing and fearsome.

Yet, this was a normal thing since, initially, a youkai was born to scare people.

If their appearance wasn't fearsome, then how could they scare people?

With those appearances, even the original protagonist had never thought to let a youkai and a human live together peacefully since it was impossible. Unlike a human, whose nature had a variety from one to another, the nature of youkai was born from their legends. If the human was strong, the youkai might do a different thing, but if the human was weak, they would be eaten.

In conclusion, once again, in the youkai world, the strongest held everything, and the weak could only be eaten.

In the world of youkai, everything was the law of the jungle.

Those who are strong and apply ruthless self-interest will be most successful.

With that said, he hesitated since the girl that triggered his system seemed to be still an elementary school student. While he knew that children in this era had matured early, and many of them even dated each other, he didn't really want to date an elementary school student even though he was also one.

He loved an older woman whose body was vulgar and lewd.

So, how could he show interest in a little girl?

The girl, who could trigger Tamazuki's system, didn't know why, but she felt angry for some reason. She looked around for a moment before she shook her head once again since she saw nothing, which caused her to frown.

Tamazuki ignored the girl and let out a long sigh, wondering what he should do. The reward from the system seemed to be quite delicious, yet when he saw the target, he hesitated. He checked his system once again, trying to search for the loophole trying to understand more about the system. In the past few years, after he got this system, he had tried to learn everything about it, yet because of the limitation of his age, everything was still shallow.

However, even if the system had been activated fully, the heroines were all on the side of the protagonist.

This made him depressed and helpless.

Still, if possible, he wanted to seduce a youkai instead of a human since the age of a youkai was more appropriate, and unlike a human, their beauty was eternal. Even if their age had reached hundreds of years or so, their appearance wouldn't change much, and their beauty would still be preserved.

Meanwhile, a human couldn't do that since time would do a cruel thing to them.

Yet, this might be the reason why a human could progress so much, yet a youkai could only lay waste, immersed themselves in their previous glory.

However, one thing that he wanted to say, if he wanted to become stronger, he knew that he had to make an enemy of the protagonist since, without a doubt, in the story, all the women would be the protagonist's property.

This was the unique ability of the protagonist.

No matter who they were, whether enemies, the wife of subordinates, or the enemies, old to young, as long as their gender was female, they would have a good impression of the protagonist, no matter how unreasonable the protagonist was.

The protagonist was the favorite child of heaven.

Meanwhile, if he tried to get closer to those heroines, he was sure that he would be seen as a creep. Even if he didn't, the heroines wouldn't be attracted to him, and he would be left hanging.

If the other female youkai or human could trigger his system, he wouldn't be in this difficult position. Unfortunately, the ones that could trigger his system were those who had a certain influence on the story and also had a good appearance.

With that said, he wasn't in a hurry.

This was a Shounen manga, after all, so even if the protagonist was close with many women, their relationship remained ambiguous, and even until the end of the story, the heroines and protagonist wouldn't do anything except hold each other's hands and hug.

However, strangely enough, he felt quite excited to steal the women of the protagonist. Many might frown at him, thinking he was a brute, but maybe, because he knew what his future would be, so watching the protagonist be on the disadvantaged side made him happy.

Still, he shook his head, wondering whether there was another method for him in the future.

Was it possible for him to escape being disfigured and disabled?

Was it possible for him and the protagonist to become friends?

He fell in silence for a moment before he shook his head.

'Impossible.'

Why? Because Nura Rikuo loved his human side more than his youkai side.

Meanwhile, Tamazuki wanted to make the youkai great again. While he liked humans, it didn't mean he cared about them that much. In his mind, a youkai was better than a human, especially when he had become one. His previous life as a human might make him feel reluctant to kill a human, yet as a youkai, he didn't feel anything toward a human except for those beautiful women.

Their ideas clashed with each other, and it was impossible for them to be friends.

More importantly, he wanted to get his hands on territory in the Tokyo area, so without a doubt, he had to fight against the protagonist's side.

While he was in the middle of his thought, he saw that the bus had entered a tunnel. His memory was good after he was reincarnated into Inugamigyoubu Tamazuki, but there were some things that he forgot, including the details of the plot of this story.

When the girl that triggered his system went home, he would also leave. He didn't intend to communicate with the girl since it wouldn't be too late to do it when they became a high school.

As for his duel with his father to determine the leadership of the Shikoku Youkai? Even without a system, he had the confidence to win.

As he yawned, his nose smelled something, which caused him to frown, and as expected, something happened.

A loud sound suddenly startled everyone, and the bus lost control before it turned over because of the rubble from the crumbling tunnel.

"Wh-what's happening?!"

"NOOOOOO!"

"Mama! Papa!"

Everyone was crying and panicking.

Watching all of this, he slammed his body to the side, stopping the bus from turning over, and stabilized its position in place, but even so, he saw that tunnel had crumbled and trapped everyone inside. Fortunately, no one was hurt; all of them were still alive, so they could get out from the side of the bus. While he sighed in relief, he noticed a few shadows approaching from the darkness.

He rubbed his paw on his furry chin and fell into deep thought.

'Did I enter a plot by accident?'

Still, was it wrong of him to think he could use this opportunity to become stronger?
