Tanuki Rise of the Yokai Clan

Chapter 52: You dirty girl... this is my revenge!

Chapter 52: You dirty girl... this is my revenge!

"I see... you met me in a dream." Tamazuki blinked his eyes as he stared at the ceiling absentmindedly since he didn't expect this answer.

"Unbelievable, right?" Claudia showed a self-deprecating smile. "No one will believe in such a story."

"No, I believe you."

"Eh...?"

"Why shouldn't I believe in you?" He looked at her calmly. "In this world where someone is born with a superpower, or an ability to run faster than a car, and many other things, appearing in a dream of someone isn't that special, right?"

"...."

Claudia wanted to say something, but she knew that he was right.

In a world where everyone had a monster-like power, what had happened to her wasn't something that unbelievable.

"But we're strangers, you know? We don't know each other."

"But now, we know each other." He rubbed his chin as he thought of a certain possibility. "Maybe both of us have a certain fate that connects us."

"Eh~?"

"Just kidding, or maybe you are stalking me, right, you dirty girl?" He looked at her with a teasing smile.

"O-Of course not!"

She quickly rebuked him on the fluster and guilty matter.

She definitely wasn't a stalker.

Definitely.

He knew that she didn't lie, but he knew that she didn't tell him everything, yet wasn't it normal?

They had only met twice, and it was already incredible for her to be able to say all of that.

While she might feel an intense love for him because of the dream she faced for the past three years, he didn't feel the same, which made her refrain from telling him everything about herself since she was afraid he might run away because of how heavy her feeling was.

However, he was a bit curious about what kind of dream she encountered with him.

Was it a wet dream?

If so, this girl was really perverted!

When he was deep in thought, Claudia was extremely nervous. "Um... what's your answer?"

"My answer?"

"I mean... are you going to transfer to the Seidoukan now?"

She thought after she told him everything, he would transfer to the Seidoukan. She had such hope in her heart, especially when he was the first person who believed in her. Her happy mood made her optimistic about their future, but...

"I am sorry, but I won't join Seidoukan."

"...wh-why?" She felt her world turn gray at that moment.

"You should know that I want to become stronger, and I can't see that I can become stronger on the Seidoukan."

He shook his head, showing how regretful he was, yet he had to say, as a tanuki, lying was so easy for him.

To become stronger... this was his wish and his purpose to come to the Asterisk.

If he didn't have such a purpose, she knew that he would just stay in Japan, becoming richer and richer.

Yet, knowing that made her hurt and reluctant since was it really no way?

"Then... which school are you going to join? Is it Jie Long?"

If it was Jie Long, even she wasn't sure whether she could make him transfer to the Seidoukan since Xinglou, Banyuu Tenra, was a legend. Being taught by Xinglou would definitely make him stronger, and it was more beneficial for him to study in Jie Long, but... yet...

"No, I plan to join Le Wolfe."

"Huh?!"

His answer dumbfounded her, and she quickly asked him, "Why?"

Why did he choose Le Wolfe?

Was it because...

"...is it because of those two?" Her voice was extremely gloomy and cold at that moment.

"....."

He paused his words for a moment, trying to calm himself, then said, "No, I plan to join that school because I am interested in their Orga Lux."

Was it his imagination?

But why did he feel like his stomach was about to be stabbed by a sharp knife?

"Orga Lux? We have a lot on the Seidoukan! Seidoukan has the most Orga Lux!"

"That might be so, but I am interested in the Four Colored Magic Swords. Le Wolfe has one of them. If I am not wrong, the name should be Wole-Zain."

"Seidoukan also has one too!"

"Really?" He was genuinely surprised.

"Yes." Claudia nodded. "We have Ser-Veresta, which is known as the strongest among Four Colored Magic Swords. If you join the Seidoukan, I will let you wield it." If this didn't work, then she could only give him a threat and push him to the ground, forcing him to become her man.

Still, leaving her thoughts aside, he was surprised since shouldn't Ser-Veresta be used by the protagonist?

The protagonist should have appeared, right?

But why had this guy not wielded the Ser-Veresta?

He felt confused since his coming was definitely way later than the protagonist, but it seemed he wasn't that late, and there should be an opportunity to take down the main heroines.

"What's the ability of Ser-Veresta?"

"It has the ability to burn anything."

"Then, I will join the Seidoukan."

"...really?"

He readily accepted her invitation like it was nothing, which made her disbelieve and suspicious since this guy loved to tease someone, and she thought he was playing a prank on her.

"No, we can sign a contract if you don't believe me." He was relatively calm about her suspicions.

"That's what you say."

She took the contract out of nowhere and gave it to him. "Here is your transfer form. I have filled it in your place, so you don't need to take the trouble to fill all of them, and all you need to do is just to sign and stamp it in this box." She pointed to the box where he should sign his name and stamped it with his "hanko (personal seal)."

He didn't say anything and read it first.

"Are you doubting me?" Claudia asked as if she was hurt.

"With how obsessed you are with me, I am afraid I am signing a marriage contract instead of a transfer form."

"....." Claudia.

After he was sure everything was good, he signed his name and put his stamp on the transfer form.

By now, he had transferred to the Seidoukan and became an official student.

"Here you go."

"Thank you." However, her expression was far from happy.

"What's wrong?"

"I am just hurt that you are doubting me."

"Oh, I am sorry for that, but with how black your heart is, I can't help but doubt, right?"

"Jeez..." She pursed her lips. "My heart might be black, but if I want to make someone feel for me, I won't do something so underhandedly."

"Then, what will you do?"

"I will do a frontal attack like this!"

She suddenly closed the distance between them and kissed his cheek.

"How is that?"

She looked at him with a mischievous smile as if she had succeeded with her prank, yet the blushes on her cheeks showed that she was far from calm.

However, he was just staring at her flat without any expression.

"Ah, um..."

She was quite nervous about his reaction, but he suddenly kissed her cheek.

"..."

A soft and light feeling was transmitted.

Claudia was stunned as her eyes widened after her cheek was kissed!

"That's my revenge. Don't do something so shameless next time."

He left when his match was about to start. "My match is about to start. I will visit the Seidoukan tomorrow."

"I will pick you up tomorrow!"

Claudia quickly responded with heavy breathing, seemingly excited from his previous revenge.

"..."

He didn't say anything and just murmured that this girl was dangerous since she knew where he was living even though he didn't tell her.

However, watching his back, she touched her cheek with a smile, feeling exhilarating for him to kiss her cheek, but what about more?

If he knew what she was thinking, he would say this girl was shameless!

Still, when he was about to enter the stage to face his final opponent, he met another heroine.
