Tanuki Rise of the Yokai Clan

Chapter 93: As expected of the protagonist, he is as amazing as ever

While training with Kirin, Tamazuki didn't show much of a change in his expression as he created his own swordsmanship. Still, he had to say, the reward of the heroine was as good as ever.

<Congratulations, you have received a "Fire Talent">

This reward might be weird, but in conclusion, he got the ability to manipulate fire. This reward might seem useless, especially when he had fire manipulation as a trait ability from his race as a tanuki, but the reality was otherwise.

While he had a fire manipulation, the only thing he could do was spew out fire through his mouth. Even if the temperature increased and he could change the shape of his fire, it was just like that. Even if he mastered this ability, it would become nothing but a fire. That's all. However, with this reward, the limit of his ability had been broken, and there was no limit to how he wanted to develop this ability.

If he gave an example, he could now change his entire body into a fire, making him invulnerable to a physical attack and making him into a fireman. He could also develop aspects of fire, such as heat and burning. Moreover, he could develop his ability to a conceptual level.

Wasn't he already invincible? Not really. "Fire" was a good ability, but it definitely wasn't the most powerful ability, especially when it would do nothing to Nurarihyon's ability that could alter reality. Yet, with his talent, either "Swordsmanship" or "Fire," he knew that he would be able to develop these abilities enough to alter reality.

Frankly, he could already defeat Nurarihyon now.

Still, in the end, no matter how powerful his abilities were, the key to being strong was the physical strength and the total amount of his "Osore."

Yet, before that, he knew that he needed to handle something. Julis's body might have already been his, but he couldn't let down on his guard since he knew that the protagonist might attack him in an unexpected place.

'Come on...'

In the morning, when it was time for the class, Amigiri felt quite sleepy.

"Ayato, are you okay?"

Strangely enough, his childhood friend, who had always gotten lost and late, came early. While he was surprised, he felt happy, and if possible, he wanted his childhood friend to continue like this. "I am okay. Why did you ask?"

"That's good."

Yet, Saya couldn't help but worry, especially when she thought about the seal on Amagiri's body. She knew that her childhood friend was strong, but with that seal on his body, his power had become nothing.

"By the way, Ayato."

"Hmm?"

"Be my partner for Festa."

"Eh?" Amagiri was startled and felt surprised, but he also understood why Saya wanted to go to the Asterisk. Saya's father was a researcher, but the result of her father's weapon wasn't being appreciated, so to show her father's weapon, she decided to come to the Asterisk to show the worth of her father's weapons.

He knew that he should support her and accept Saya's invitation, yet in his head, an image of a certain princess appeared, and he couldn't get her away from his head.

Then, as expected, in the moment of his indecision, Julis appeared.

"Julis, what's wrong?" He asked worriedly.

Unlike how she usually was, Julis was listless and seemed to be quite sleepy. He couldn't notice the change in her, but he was worried, especially with how sluggish she was.

"Don't bother me, Amagiri."

Leaving those words, she slumped on her table and slept.

Watching her, who had gone to the land of dreams, Amagiri was still unable to erase the worry in his heart, especially when he noticed the letter she had held before.

What was that letter?

Suddenly, a picture of when they met for the first time appeared. When they had a duel, someone attacked Julis, and he saved her.

'Don't tell me... is that the attacker?'

If so, then why didn't she say anything?

He felt a bit depressed since he thought that Julis didn't trust him, but soon quickly, he cheered up since he knew her personality. She didn't want to trouble anyone and would do everything on her own. It wasn't that she didn't trust him, but she just didn't want him to be involved in her matter.

When he made such a conclusion, he knew that he had to do something since there was no way that he could let her be in such a dangerous situation alone.

Yet, when he was in such deep thought, he forgot about Saya.

Saya just stared at Amagiri, but she didn't say anything. She didn't feel displeased being ignored. Instead, she was thinking about how to become Ayato's strength. Even now, she felt guilty since when she moved away as his neighbor, she was the one who cut their communication. If she didn't cut their communication, then she would be by his side when his big sister was gone.

Yet, everything was too late, and he also had this seal on his body, which made her even more worried. As a childhood friend, she knew Amagiri's strength, and she knew how strong he was, yet that seal changed everything.

But how?

She was powerless and didn't know what to do, but suddenly she thought of something. It was the image of the person that had helped Amagiri to ease his symptom.

'If it's him, then should he have a solution to Ayato's problem?'

However, when she thought about how she had treated him before, she wondered whether he would help her. Suddenly, she felt regret for mistreating him. If she was a little polite, then it should be possible for him to help her, right?

As Amagiri and Saya were in their own thoughts, Julis slept soundly since she was just exhausted. Yet, she had to say that guy was a beast. Still, she felt satisfied and felt like the hole in her chest was filled, even if it was only a momentary, but she knew with him by her side, it was only a time before all of her dreams were realized, and she couldn't wait for that time.

In the end, except for Julis, who had a good day, Saya and Amagiri were in their own thoughts. They were worried about someone in their mind, and if possible, they wanted to be the strength of that person.

At the end of school, Julis didn't waste her time and left since she wanted to finish the matter of the person who attacked her as soon as possible. There was no need to waste her time with a coward, and she was going to finish this person soon.

Watching Julis, who had left, Amagiri hesitated for a moment before he made up his mind to follow her. Even if she didn't tell him her trouble, he wished to become her strength and definitely would protect her.

With such determination, he walked out of the class and followed her since he was going to help her!

Meanwhile, Saya wondered how she could meet "him," and she also wondered where he was.

Still, Tamazuki was speechless at Amagiri, but then again, he had a solution for this problem. He used the illusion ability he learned from Li Shenyun in the Jie Long Tournament, creating an illusion of Julis, making Amagiri chase after this illusion.

As for him, he followed the real Julis and waited for a crisis to appear before helping her at that moment and fully conquering her body and heart.

Yet, he knew that it might be weird of him to say this, but he had to say Amagiri's protagonist halo was too weak.
