Tanuki Rise of the Yokai Clan

Chapter 10: Welcome to Tokyo

Chapter 10: Welcome to Tokyo

Tamazuki looked at the scenery outside and thought it had been a while since he came to this city. He wanted to enjoy it well, enjoying his vacations, but as expected, his subordinates were still restless and interrupted his happy mood.

"Tamazuki-sama, are we not going to expand our group in Tokyo?"

"Yes, Tamazuki-sama, the 2nd leader of the Nura clan, has died. They have become weak now, and it is our chance to attack them!"

"Yeah, with all of us, it is easy to conquer this place!"

Tamazuki was inside the luxurious black Hummer limousine with his subordinates from Shikoku.

This wasn't their first time coming to Tokyo, and they often came since they handled many businesses in this town.

However, with the Nura Clan at its peak with the 2nd leader, they were quite low-key and only did their business quietly. They had never been involved with supernatural matters and acted like ordinary businessmen.

Yet when the 2nd leader died, the Nura Clan became weak, and they thought it was their chance to expand toward Tokyo.

Unlike Shikoku, which had many forests and few developments, Tokyo was a metropolitan city with ten million people. In Shikoku, there were only three million people, but in this city, it was more than three times its population. Just from the population, it could be seen how amazing this city was, right?

The business was also easy to do if they were able to control Tokyo.

While they might have been able to hold back before, they couldn't hold back anymore when there was a chance in front of them.

Tamazuki didn't say anything and just released his "Fear" toward everyone in the limousine, almost crushing them to death.

"Ta-Tamazuki-sama!"

"We beg for your forgiveness!"

"Ah, Tamazuki-sama, forgive us!"

The air suffocated them, and they were pressed by his mere presence.

The rest of the people who didn't join had a cold sweat watching this scene.

Hearing their plea, he stopped teasing them and looked at them with a smile.

'...sadist.'

They thought when they saw his childish sweet smile.

If they didn't see what had happened, they wouldn't believe what this young boy had done.

"Sigh..." He let out a helpless sigh, but it caused the tension to become even higher.

No one dared to utter a voice, and they were silent, waiting for him to open his mouth.

"I am not angry with you all. Instead, I'm happy you're so excited to help our group become stronger." His voice was calm and unhurried. He sat on the sofa of the car relaxedly, raising one of his legs and usually draping his arm. His pose was like a Guanyin statue that they saw in the temple.

Yet even if he was calm, no one still dared to say anything.

He also wasn't in a hurry and opened his mouth.

Hari Onna, who sat next to him, gently fed him a glass of milk with a straw.

He drank it slowly before he let out a comfortable sigh. "However, you should know that the 1st generation of the Nura Clan is still alive. That old guy who is comparable to my father is still guarding the Nura Clan. We have built everything from nothing. Do you want to destroy all of them?"

"...."

Everyone had a cold sweat dripping from their foreheads and back. They clearly forgot since when the Nura Clan was at its peak, the only ones who appeared were the 2nd generation, and they forgot the 1st generation. However, they couldn't be blamed since the 1st generation was in semi-retirement and rarely appeared, which created an illusion that a Nura Clan was just a hollow castle that could be destroyed anytime.

Their smooth progress also greatly boosted their confidence, and they became quite arrogant.

However, he didn't blame them since this was how the youkai were, and it was normal for them to get inflated by the power and authority.

He also used a youkai way to discipline them.

Still, he was slightly depressed since they were all too weak since his aura alone made them grimace in pain. He sighed inwardly and thought that while he had many subordinates, he didn't have much of a combatant that could help him.

However, they were more than nothing and far better than that weak youkai that could be trampled anytime.

"Have you heard that a beast is at its fiercest when they are cornered? Even if the Nura Clan is weak now, if they're cornered, they will bite our throats fiercely. Even if we're able to win, we should be careful toward the other forces of youkai such as Kyoto, Onmyouji, and various others since if we can attack the Nura clan, the others can also attack us." He sighed and looked at them with a smile. "And I don't want you to die meaninglessly."

"Tamazuki-sama..."

They were on the verge of tears.

No, they were already crying!

"Forgive us!"

"We are just too blind, Tamazuki-sama!"

"We're just too stupid!"

"...."

He sighed inwardly, thinking they were really stupid, but it was good for him. "You remember my words from six years ago, right? We only need to wait for four years. By then, we will start to move. Instead of youkai groups, it is better to conquer those stupid humans now since it is easier, right?"

Everyone grinned when they heard his words. They must admit, conquering a stupid human was several times easier than a youkai. After all, a youkai could still fight, but those humans weren't able to fight them.

As long as they gave them a little sweetness, those humans would also work for them tirelessly as their lives depended on them.

They didn't even do anything, and those humans worked together to make them stronger, which made them realize how easy it was to control a human.

Still, even if he treated a human like they were livestock, he forbade everyone to kill or eat a human, except for the dammed one. For the good ones, he forbade them, especially those monks who lived together at the shrine and temple on the Shikaku.

Those monks had already given up on doing anything toward the youkai in the Shikoku since the youkai were all strong, and if they dared to do anything, they would be killed. Still, more importantly, the youkai could give them money and a lot of sweetness, so they became their obedient dog.

As for ordinary people and the useful ones, they simply ignored it.

He might be able to stop his youkai group from killing a human, but some youkai were born from their legend by killing many humans. Even if he could forbid them with words, they might try to kill the human secretly since it was just their nature, and it was impossible to monitor them for 24 hours, so instead of asking them to stop, he told them to target the dammed one since they were just wasting this planet's resource.

Still, unlike he, who was relaxed and thought about what he would do in Tokyo, the others were thinking that they might buy or create a nuclear bomb, so when anyone dared to trouble them, they would blast, killing them until they vanished from this world.

'Let's get more money!'

They looked at each other and made up their minds. Their powers might not be much, but it was easy to fool a group of stupid humans who had always thought they were smart.

On the other hand, he was bored, and Hari Onna really couldn't make him excited. He wanted to get a new maid, the beautiful one, but the female youkai in Shikoku was really hard to describe as a beauty based on his aesthetic.

He sighed depressedly, wondering when he could see someone who could trigger his system.

<Target has been found!>

"......."

He blinked his eyes and quickly said, "Stop here! I want to go out!"
