Tanuki Rise of the Yokai Clan

Chapter 130: I will defeat you in a second

This result didn't surprise him slightly since he had expected this from the beginning.

Even if Amagiri didn't have Ser-Veresta and his Amagiri Style was mastered by someone else, the amount of Prana on his body was ridiculously high. Moreover, with the support of the heroine and the protagonist's halo, everything was smooth.

Even though Cecily Wong and Hufeng were the Page Ones of Jie Long, they weren't the opponents of Amagiri.

Still, he felt a bit regretful since he couldn't do anything against Cecily. She was a side heroine, and even if the reward might not be that big, it was better than not, right?

Nevertheless, he was quite wary of Amagiri since, without a doubt, this guy's chance for victory was almost zero. While he had immunity toward the protagonist's aura, it was a different matter for the people around him. To bring the protagonist to victory, this was the sole purpose of the protagonist's aura.

Hopefully, nothing bad was going to happen.

Meanwhile, Saya and Amagiri savored the victory quietly on the stage. Their battle was rather challenging, but in the end, they were able to win. Whether Cecily or Hufeng, they proved to be a strong opponent, but even so, they had won and were the ones who entered the final.

'Then...'

At the end of this battle, once again, they thought about their next opponents.

"Julis..."

Amagiri looked around at the audience area, yet he couldn't see her figure.

"Come on, Ayato."

Saya called once before she left since she wanted to rest. Instead of cornering Julis, she was more cornered about Tamazuki since he was, without a doubt, their biggest obstacle.

At night, he spent his time with Claudia without restraint; they did everything they could think of. The bedroom, toilet, kitchen, living room, the entrance of his room, and every corner of his room were left with their love-making marks. They didn't stop until dawn, which made him rather helpless.

"I have a match this afternoon."

The final was held today, and he hadn't rested for a single moment. If it was other men, they would be sucked dry and even die. Fortunately, he was a youkai, so his physical ability, regeneration, stamina, and tenacity were stronger. Moreover, he also gained the ability of "Regenerative" from Priscilla, so he was practically invincible.

Along with the 88 Tanuki Styles, no one should be his opponent.

Yet, Claudia showed that a human had a limitless possibility. Even if she fell down several times, she kept getting up without giving up.

Her determination was something that he was worthy of admiration for.

Still, she was unable to move anymore and lay weakly on his body, moist with white-colored liquid. Her breathing was heavy, and she was rather pale with a crimson hue on her cheeks. Letting out a helpless sigh, she thought that a mortal was impossible to match his might.

If it was before, she might give up, but this time, she kept trying, yet in the end, she was defeated thoroughly.

"Then, let's sleep."

"Okay."

He carried her to the bathroom and washed their bodies together before they went to take a bath. While he was alright to go on without sleeping for a week or so, he wanted to prepare in case something was happening.

Yet, Claudia didn't sleep immediately. She stared at his profile and caressed his cheek gently before kissing his lips.

"I love you."

In the afternoon, it was time for the final of the Phoenix Festa. The place was crowded, and no one was missing.

Even if Amagiri and Saya were dark horses, and no one knew them beforehand, they had already become famous figures. While it was only a small number, many people strangely hoped for the two to win since their victory meant a lot of things.

Tamazuki was like a Demon Lord. He ravaged everyone's pride, trampling them, telling them that they were nothing but weaklings. Because of him, Asterisk was covered by dark clouds, and at this exact moment, they hoped for the dawn to come.

The appearance of a hero who could show them the hope of victory.

They hoped to see that.

Amagiri and Saya were those figures. They were the figures that represented all the students of Asterisk who had been humiliated by Tamazuki.

Still, the majority of them thought that Tamazuki would win. From this year onwards, it would be the time he would rule everything. He would dominate the Festa for three years, and his existence was absolute.

Those who tried to defy him would be crushed to pieces.

Yet, strangely enough, many people were excited to be dominated by him.

Were they masochists?

They weren't sure, but they wanted him to stare at them with disgust.

Ah, how wonderful would that be... someone thought.

"....." Tamazuki

Yet, on this day when the champion of the Festa would be decided, the sky was rather gloomy with heavy downpours. Still, this rain didn't dim their spirits as they came excitedly to the dome to watch the final.

"Finally, it's time." Xinglou didn't care about the loss of her students. Instead, she was more cornered about her battle with Tamazuki, yet she wondered whether Tamazuki knew something which might happen to his woman.

"Well, I should help him."

Similarly, many people tried to help him by helping him; they could try to win his favor.

Tamazuki's strength was obvious to all, and having a good relationship was definitely a good thing.

Frankly, Tamazuki's situation was rather complex as his business was also attacked. His business received various slanders from various media, but all of them were easily solved by him since he rudely possessed, hypnosis, and controlled various people in the media, clearing up the misunderstanding.

He knew that the Ginga was about to move, and this made him helpless.

"You okay?" Julis asked worriedly.

"I am okay."

"That Claudia... I won't"

"Stop. Don't talk bad about her."

Julis stared at his expression, pursued her lips, and obediently stayed quiet.

"Let's just focus on the match, okay? You have a wish that you want to achieve, right?"

"Yes." Julis nodded as she followed him, walking onto the stage.

Flora, Kirin, Irene, and Priscilla sent them until the end but stopped when they saw someone.

"Blanchard-san?"

Laetitia Blanchard.

The girl, who thought he was a scumbag and Claudia's friend, stood before them.

"I forgot to give you this."

Laetitia threw something, and he caught it subconsciously. He opened his palm and saw a small silver charm. "What is this?"

"Claudia gave it to me as a birthday present a long time ago. It's supposed to bring good luck... Although, it was a pretty unpleasant present."

"But you still keep it with care?"

"...."

Laetitia tried not to blush.

"Don't worry. I will protect her." He rubbed her hair until her hair was in a mess.

"What are you doing?!"

She was angry, but he only chuckled before he left with Julis to the stage.

Laetitia huffed as she tidied up her hair with a blush and looked at him with a complicated gaze before she noticed that she was being stared at by four people.

"...."

They looked at each other for a moment and didn't know what to say.

---

On the stage, Ayato and Saya were already present. They had this determined and complex expression on their faces.

"Julis..." Amagiri looked at Julis with a complex mood as he didn't expect that he would face her like this. He didn't want to fight, yet he knew that he had to do this.

Meanwhile, Saya looked at Tamazuki, who was emotionless like her, feeling complex with the kiss they shared that day. Even now, she still wanted to ask why he did that, yet it was like he had forgotten, making her vexed and frustrated.

While the two had various emotions facing them two, Julis and Tamazuki were rather relaxed until he heard the news from Aisha.

"Master..."

Aisha quietly reported what she found out.

It was only a moment, but his transformation ability was almost broken as he was letting his "Fear," causing the people to shudder in fear. Their bodies felt cold as they were facing another creature. Yet, it was only for a moment, but when they saw his expression, they stopped his breathing.

Tamazuki didn't care about their reaction and felt helpless and angry, thinking about how desperate this protagonist's halo was. It wanted the protagonist to win so much that it would resort to a disgusting and dirty method.

"Sorry, but I will defeat you two in a second."

"...." 3x

There was no need to play anymore.

He was going to crush them into pieces.
