Tanuki Rise of the Yokai Clan

Chapter 77: Everyone has their own wishes

As expected, while he had prepared for it, his class wasn't in the protagonist's class. Instead, he was in a different class, which made him unable to meet the heroines inside the protagonist's class.

As far as he could tell, three heroines should be in the protagonist's class.

One was the princess, the second was the childhood friend, and the last was the teacher.

The princess and the childhood friend aside, he was interested in the teacher. It had been a while since him to have an older woman. The only one was Yosuzume, but he hardly got the image of an older woman from Yosuzume.

Nevertheless, even if his thoughts had always revolved around the girls, he hadn't forgotten his intention to get stronger.

For one thing, he started to think about the reason why he was in a different class. The best answer was a coincidence, but he wanted to think deeper than that.

This coincidence... why did it happen?

If he wanted to write it down into words, the reason was that it was impossible for the existence of a better man to appear on the side of the protagonist.

The light novel protagonist had always been pictured as kind, gentle, and powerful. The only male character that appeared on his side was a lesser type of man than him, so it should be weaker, perverted, or kind of shady. If there was someone else, it would be the arrogant or brash villain. Even if someone was more handsome than the protagonist appeared, they would be pictured swinging that way, so they wouldn't be able to take the limelight of the protagonist, which was cliche.

As for him? He didn't care. Even if someone had a better appearance than him or smarter than he appeared by his side, he wouldn't care much. Why? Because he thought that he was still the best. This nonsensical type of confidence was what every man should have. The confidence that all women would become his and it would be their loss if they didn't want to know him.

Yet, whatever his situation was, it didn't matter since he had planted the seed in the heroines' hearts. Even if he was in a different class and might not even have had a chance to get close to the heroines every day like the protagonist, it didn't matter since he could use his brain to take those heroines down.

He was a tanuki, and he had thought of millions of tricks in his head already.

And now, he swore to get all the main heroines!

"...is that good?" Kirin asked with confusion.

"Sure. It tastes nice."

"...really?"

Why did Kirin say all of this? It was because of the lunch which he chose. Spicy curry. It was a famous dish on the Seidoukan. According to the legend, one had to enter the hospital for a week because one ate it. Why? Because it was so hot! It was so hot that one might wish that they wished to die instead of being tormented by diarrhea and stomachache.

Yet, he was calm. His expression was flat as he ate everything calmly.

As a transfer student, his relationship with his classmates was rather good, or rather; he was at the top hierarchy as soon as he entered the class. No one dared to fight him, and no one dared to question him. Frankly, even if he picked any random girl in his class, it was possible for him to bring them to the hotel already.

Even if his attitude was like a prick previously, he still knew how to communicate with each other. Therefore, if he wanted to, he should be able to become the protagonist's best friend.

'Best friend, huh?'

After all, unlike the protagonist in his original world, the protagonist in this world was kind of... he knew that he was being rude, but he had to say this.

Stupid.

This is how he perceived Amagiri Ayato.

This boy didn't have any desires; he was almost selfless. Like a saint descended to the Earth, helping all the people in need.

In other words, when he needed the heroines, Amagiri should kindly give him the heroines, right?

Knowing all of this, he felt like it was kind of stupid not to become a good friend of the protagonist.

"Do you want to try it?" He asked Kirin since she had been staring at his curry.

"...is it okay?" Kirin asked timidly.

"Sure." He scooped the curry, then led it in front of Kirin's mouth. "Open your mouth."

"Eh, ah, um, eh?!"

Kirin was startled and didn't expect that he would feed her.

While Kirin was about to be fed by him, there should be one thing that had to be said.

He could have lunch with his classmates, but he had lunch with Kirin since they had made a promise before. There were seven places to eat on campus, including the cafeteria, but they chose to eat near the basement since it was less crowded.

Yet, when they were together, a certain rumor appeared, and it was something inevitable, considering how famous they were.

"Is King going to join the Festa with Lightning-Edged Speed?"

"The combination of the current rank one and former rank one of the Seidoukan..."

"Wait, aren't they invincible already?!"

While some thought that he might two-time on Claudia by dating Kirin, they were more cornered at who would be his partner at Phoenix Festa, but most of them thought that he might choose Kirin as his partner on the Phoenix Festa.

As two people needed to participate in the Phoenix Festa, Kirin, without a doubt, was his best partner.

Kirin might have lost to him, but she was strongest on the Seidoukan before he came. She was invincible before he came, and the combination of the two was just invincible. No one doubted that they could become the champion of the Phoenix unless the rank one in the other school decided to participate, yet it would seem hard to do so since the rank one in the different school was rather taciturn.

Saint Galahadworth Academy specializes in Gryps, a team of five. Meanwhile, Le Wolfe specialized in Lindwurm, which was an individual match.

In other words, the opponents that could threaten the pair of Tamazuki and Kirin were probably someone from the Jie Long. However, Tamazuki had rampaged around Jie Long, and no one thought he would lose unless Jie Long let the rank one participate in the Phoenix.

Tamazuki and Kirin didn't confirm this news, and neither of them thought much since they were just a disciple and a teacher. But, if he asked, she didn't mind participating in the Phoenix with Tamazuki, or rather, she would agree without hesitation.

Still, this news spread everywhere. Even if they didn't confirm it, everyone wanted to believe so.

Naturally, this news was heard by Julis.

"Hey, did you hear that King is going to participate in Phoenix with Lightning-Edged Speed?"

"Really? Where did you hear that?"

"I heard it from a friend of mine!"

Julis had a wish that she wanted to achieve, so no matter what, she had to win the Festa. Yet, even now, she didn't have a partner, and after she fought Tamazuki, she couldn't imagine how she could win against him, so the only way to win this Festa was...

"Julis! Julis!"

"...."

Julis looked up and saw Amagiri was there.

"What's wrong? Your face is kind of bad." Amagiri asked worriedly.

"...I am okay. You don't need to worry." Julis tried to endure her irritation.

"Is that so?" Amagiri sighed in relief, then asked, "By the way, have you chosen your partner for the Festa?"

"....." Julis couldn't say anything since she hadn't, and the person who she had thought possible to become her partner was already gone with someone else; however, before she said anything.

"Amigiri, are you here?"

"Ah, what's wrong?"

"The teacher is calling you. She has said that you need to participate in the Orga Lux compatibility test."

"Orga Lux compatibility test? What is that?"

While Amagiri was confused, Julis didn't even look at Amagiri and just lowered her head, desperately thinking about what she should do. However, what he didn't know, another girl also fell into deep thought.
