Tanuki Rise of the Yokai Clan

Chapter 141: Your first kiss is mine!

"Julis... how many times have I told you... please leave me."

Orphelia Landlufen.

She wore a Le Wolfe uniform, a pair of long gloves that stretched up to her elbows, and some white tights.

Her voice was as cold as ice, dark and hollow as if echoing from deep underground. There was no failure to take notice of the incredible amount of prana burning through every corner of her body.

But what was most striking of all was her long, white hair, seemingly melting into the snow around her, and her red, ruby-like eyes. Like her voice, there was darkness in those eyes, similar to a pair of blood moons portending disaster. It was as if a look of utter desolation could freeze a person where they stood. But in spite of that, her face was full of sadness, as if she might break out into silent tears at any moment.

Tamazuki stared at this young woman and thought that she was really on the level of Xinglou.

Still, if Xinglou and Orphellia fought, then without a doubt, Xinglou would win since Xinglou won in terms of agility.

Yet, without a doubt, Orphelia was strong as she was a two-time champion of the Lindvolus and the Le Wolfe Black Institute's top-ranked student. She was said to be one of the strongest Stregas in all of Asterisk's history, on a level comparable to even Helga Lindwall, but Tamazuki knew that Helga was weak.

Well, Helga was strong, but she couldn't be compared to Orphelia, especially when he could see the rotting earth in her surroundings. Frankly, her scent was too intense for him; it was so pungent, like the scent of death, which made him, who was a tanuki, feel troubled, but soon, his "Immunity" quickly worked and gave him immunity to this scent.

Yet, as expected, Orphelia triggered his system.

However, he didn't say anything as it wasn't his time to talk.

Julis bit her lip, a shadow of regret clouding her for the briefest of moments, before turning her piercing gaze on the other young woman. "I wanted to tell you the same thing I said last time. Come back, Orphelia. That place isn't a place where you belong."

"...Don't, Julis. I am just following my fate. You can't change it." Orphelia shook her head weakly, but there was no mistaking her resolution.

"I won't accept it!" Julis all but shouted.

The two were in the drama as if in this world, there were only the two of them.

Tamazuki and Dirk didn't say anything and just stood by their sides in silence, but Dirk had a bored expression while telling Tamazuki to tell his woman to give up quickly since it was impossible. No matter what Julis did, it would be impossible to change Orphelia's mind as Dirk had confidence in it.

Frankly, if the IEFs weren't involved and Julis didn't ask for this type of wish, Dirk wouldn't bother to stay, especially when his time was precious, but when IEFs were involved, even if he was known as the "Tyrant," he was helpless.

However, Tamazuki didn't do what Dirk did and just waited since before he left, he thought that he should take down Orphelia as he knew what he should do with this type of woman.

"..." Orphelia looked down in silence, raising a hand to her school crest, "My fate is here now. You should use the wish of your Festa for something better, but if you want to change that..."

"Fine, if that's how you want it! But it won't be like last year!" Julis declared, mana beginning to swirl around her, but Tamazuki suddenly stood in front of her. "Tamazuki?"

"Calm your head, Julis. Isn't there me? Why should you call me here if you do this by yourselves?"

"Tamazuki..."

Tamazuki didn't look at Julis anymore and stared at Orphelia.

Orphelia also stared at him with a weak gaze, yet even if she tried to hide it, he could see curiosity in her eyes.

"Nice to meet you, Landlufen-san. My name is Inugamigyoubu Tamazuki."

"...I know you," Orphelia answered in a low voice.

Tamazuki smiled. "Julis had told me about you. She told me that you were the one who helped her during her childhood time and also the one who influenced her to have such a wonderful hobby like gardening."

"...." Orphelia didn't say anything, and her expression didn't change, but her body trembled slightly.

"So, how about you return with us?"

"...no."

Tamazuki then looked at Julis. "She doesn't want to go back with you."

"..." Julis.

Dirk nodded.

"By the way, can I ask you something?" Tamazuki asked.

It might be Orphelia to face someone who didn't fear him, use him, or have any other bad emotions, so she was a bit curious. She might not have said anything, but she listened.

"Why did you follow this, Fatty?" Tamazuki pointed his finger at Dirk.

"...." Dirk.

"....." Dirk's bodyguards.

Julis wanted to laugh, but she knew this wasn't the place.

"...it's because it is my fate," Orphellia answered after a hard time maintaining her facial expression.

"I see... so your fate told you to be here?"

"Yes."

"Can it be somewhere else, like Julis's side?"

"No." Orphelia shook her head. "Julis is too weak."

"Then, if someone is strong enough to bear your fate, will you stay by their side?"

Orphelia stared at Tamazuki's eyes, who asked her this question without flinching, but the more she looked at his eyes, the more afraid she was since she might bear hope in her hopeless life, but she still answered.

"...yes."

"Then, let me see how strong your fate is."

Tamazuki stepped forward and walked toward Orphelia.

Orphelia was stunned, but she also quickly reacted by releasing an unbelievable amount of prana. The level was beyond what should have been possible.

However, this was his second time seeing this phenomenon, and frankly, he was curious about how one had this infinite amount of prana. He was curious, and this was why he walked toward Orphelia without fear.

Yet, unlike Xinglou's energy, which was in harmony with nature, Orphelia's energy was ominous.

Still facing Tamazuki, who walked toward her, Orphelia had never intended to show mercy.

The air itself shook violently as a ferocious outpouring of energy was released, strong enough to crush everything around them into the ground.

And in the middle of it stood Orphelia's calm figure, a seemingly endless stream of corpse-like arms rising up at her feet like smoke. Those odious, blackish-brown arms writhed around her in a haze, more deadly vapor than solid form.

The arms flew in every direction as they aimed in his direction.

Tamazuki had heard before that Orphelia's ability was to manipulate a toxic miasma.

"Tamazuki!"

"He is done for."

While Julis panicked, Dirk only shook his head.

The two watched as Tamazuki was swallowed by toxic miasma.

Orphelia wasn't surprised by this view as it wasn't her first time seeing something like this. There have been several times... if not countless times, that she has hurt someone through her power.

Now, it had become her fate.

No one should be by her side yet...

"Well, it's a dangerous ability."

"!?"

"No way!"

"Tamazuki!"

Dirk was shocked, Julis was happy, but the one that shocked the most was, without a doubt, Orphelia, as she didn't expect that she would see him walk on her miasma at ease.

Yes, Tamazuki's body quickly made an "Immunity" to Ophelia's miasma.

When everyone would die and writhe in pain like a worm, he was walking in this miasma like walking in the park.

However, Orphelia quickly woke up, and the miasma spiraling around her sped up in force, the countless roiling arms merging together into one gigantic, serpentine shape.

"Return to the dust," Orphelia murmured, and that huge, withered arm dived toward the ground, speeding toward Tamazuki, yet...

It did nothing.

Tamazuki then stood in front of Orphelia face to face.

"I won."

Orphelia saw her badge in his hand.

"Still, I am a bit angry that you tried to kill me, so this is my revenge."

"?!"

Orphelia opened her eyes wide in surprise.

Not only she but Julis, Dirk, and all the people present opened their eyes wide as they felt surprised by the scene before them.

After all, Tamazuki dared to do something that no one dared to do!

Tamazuki kissed Orphelia's lips!

Those chastised lips that had never been touched by anyone were ravaged by this beast!

Orphelia, whose body was full of miasma that would kill anyone who got close, didn't expect that she would be kissed by anyone in her life, so she was unable to react as she could only let him do whatever she wanted with her lips.

The sound of their lewd kiss echoed throughout this place.

Their tongues and saliva were exchanged.

On this kiss, she was passive, and she was taught a pleasure that she had never felt before.

Orphelia, who was known as the Erenshkigal, the Witch of Solitary Venom, had become nothing but a weak woman in his arms.

They kept kissing until she lost her breath and lost the power of her legs. All of her strength was drained, and she could only lean on him as she tried to catch her breath until she heard his overbearing voice.

"You have never kissed, right? Then, remember, the one who took your first kiss is me."
