Tanuki Rise of the Yokai Clan

Chapter 23: Why is it different from the script?

Chapter 23: Why is it different from the script?

Reading his book, he had been holed up inside his study room for a few days. With his ability, he was kind of hooked on learning since everything was so easy to learn, and the result was obvious.

He was in love with learning medicine now.

Being a doctor was easy for him, but being the best doctor was something he sought, so he continued his study diligently.

More importantly, it could also enhance his fighting ability, and knowing this knowledge wasn't hurt, right?

With that said, he forgot about the female youkai that could trigger his system. After he saved her, he didn't care about her and just left the rest to his underlings.

Did you think that he would approach her? No way.

All the initiative was in his hands, and he didn't need to meet her since, in this relationship, the one who was in need was her. Naturally, it was only based on her knowledge since she didn't know he had a system. However, even if he was eager for the reward, he wasn't going to become a simple man who would go after the women, seduce them, and be there by her side as much as possible, so they could fall for him.

He wanted them to be the ones who approached him, trying to make him fall for them instead of trying hard to make them fall for him.

His advantage was that he knew the plot, and even though he didn't remember all of them, he knew that it helped him to stay alive.

Yet, he wondered whether it was really possible to become so strong that it was enough for him to conquer the world with his power alone and become a god which dominated all the beings.

After all, while his first reward was amazing, it hardly gave him omnipotent power.

<Another function of the system will be opened when you become a high school student. Please be patient since, as a harem system, how can it be so simple?>

"..."

He didn't expect the system would answer him. He felt a bit speechless, but he also anticipated what kind of surprise the system would give him when he became a high school student.

Now, why high school?

Was it because it was the common, cliche setting of various battle-like and harem stories?

He couldn't confirm his guess since the system didn't give him an answer. But, honestly, except for reminding him that it saw a target, giving him a reward, and listing his abilities, it was mostly quiet unless he said something unexpected.

Still, he waited for a while, and in the end, the system didn't say anything. He let out a helpless sigh and stretched his hands high, feeling drowsy. He thought to go to sleep since, for someone around his age, sleeping was important.

Many thought that he should work hard to become even stronger since his battle was near, but frankly, he couldn't imagine the future where he would lose to his father.

This duel was already his.

It wasn't arrogant but a confidence that came from his power.

"Tamazuki-sama."

"What's wrong?"

When he walked out of his study room, his maid seemed to be waiting for him.

"The female youkai you have saved before wishes to meet you."

"She wishes to meet me?" He raised his brow.

"Yes." The maid nodded and sighed. "I have told her that it is impossible to meet you since how can a low-level youkai like her bask in your presence?"

In other words, she didn't want another competitor to enter the game.

The number of maids in his house was limited, and they were all special.

She could tell the female youkai who he saved was quite strong and cute, but compared to him, she felt that this female youkai was nothing. Frankly, if it wasn't because of her persistence, she wouldn't bother to talk about this problem to him since how could she let a random youkai, whose origin wasn't known, meet him?

It definitely had nothing to do with the fact she felt a threat from this female youkai.

Definitely.

However, he was speechless.

Was his existence so special in their eyes? He felt a little speechless, but it was a waste of time to change their view of him.

Also, if the female youkai he saved before was just a low-level youkai, then what about "Nattou Kozou"?

"But..."

'Oh?'

He was surprised that the maid hadn't finished her words. "But?"

"But... she has been standing in front of your house for the past few days without moving."

"...without moving?"

"Um!" She nodded. "You have been busy with your study, so I don't dare to interrupt you, but the moment she recovered, she wished to meet you. I told her that you were busy, but she was so stubborn, even standing in front of the entrance of the house without moving a single step for the past few days."

"....."

If he didn't know the identity of this female woman, he would be moved by her dedication.

"Well, call her here. It's rather cold outside, and take her to the bath since I am sure she is a bit smelly from standing outside for the past few days, especially when it is summer."

"...yes."

Even though she was reluctant, she nodded.

Watching his maid walk away as she shook her soft and supple buttocks in a coquettish way, which were tightly wrapped in kimono clothing, he shook his head, thinking that he had grown up.

Yet, his virginity wasn't something that he would give to someone easily.

While waiting, he went to his relaxing room, sitting on the pillow as he read a novel, but the sliding door of his room was opened, and the previous maid entered his room. She also told him she had brought the female youkai who wished to meet him.

When he gave an "okay," the maid and the female youkai entered his room.

He nodded inwardly, thinking that this female villain youkai was beautiful. Still, as expected, she didn't remove the cloth that wrapped part of her face.

"You go out first. Let me talk with her."

"..."

The maid felt a bit resentful, but she didn't dare to voice her complaint. Instead, she bowed her head, left, then closed the door calmly, showing her greatest respect toward the master of this room while shaking her butts, trying to tempt him again.

Unfortunately, he didn't say anything.

But...

"Sakuya, I can see you are still outside the door."

"...." Sakuya.

When his maid left, he looked at Yosuzume, who sat in "seiza," showing utmost respect as she bowed her head.

"Thank you for saving me, Tamazuki-sama."

Her voice was clear, almost without emotion, yet it was full of respect.

Still, he wasn't sure whether this was a coincidence or deliberate, but the gap between the collars of her clothes was loose, so pink nipples were visible, and her petite breasts appeared bigger.

More importantly, with his enhanced sight, how could he miss them?

He couldn't help but murmur that this woman was pervy. Her body might be petite, but she knew how to use her body well, showing how dangerous this female youkai was.

"It's okay. It's something that I can do, and you don't need to thank me like this."

He approached her and stopped her from bowing her head. Still, he glanced at her chest for the last time, thinking whether they were small or big, they all had their own advantages.

As he held her slender shoulders gently, her sharp eyes stared into his expression thoughtfully.

"So, are you alright now?"

"Yes, it's all thanks to you." She bowed her head once again.

He only smiled. "So, what do you plan to do after this? Do you plan to go back?"

"No, I don't have a place to go home?"

"You don't?"

"Yes, all my clan except for me have been killed."

"I am sorry."

"It's okay. It is our fault for being weak."

What could he say in this situation?

Yet, he knew from the previous conversation, she indicated, telling him that she was a poor, weak woman, hoping he would let her work and live with him. However, he knew that this woman was a spy, so her intention to get close to him had never been pure.

However, this was normal, wasn't it?

After all, similar to her, all the female youkai, who approached him, also wanted to get his genes, so they could have powerful children, and he also didn't mind helping them since the population of youkai was relatively low, and he also wouldn't ignore those pitiful women in need.

Yet, for this evil woman, he had to be tough.

"I see."

He nodded. "Then, you should become stronger, so you won't be killed." He didn't continue to talk, sipping his jasmine tea as he continued to read.

"..."

She waited for a while, waiting for him to invite her to work for him, but she waited for a few seconds, a minute, and he didn't say anything afterward, only quietly reading as if her presence was an air.

Huh?

Why was it different from the script?
