Tanuki Rise of the Yokai Clan

In the original story, Claudia had fallen for the protagonist before they even met each other.

However, unlike the protagonist's childhood friend, who had known each other for so long, Claudia had only met the protagonist for the first time, yet she fell in love with him so deeply.

Even the other heroines didn't fall for the protagonist immediately. Instead, they faced each other before they realized their feelings.

However, Claudia was different since nothing had happened between her and the protagonist, yet she had fallen for him. She was also the one who sent the scholarship invitation to the protagonist.

Yet, now, Tamazuki could tell that Claudia fell for him and even sent him a scholarship invitation.

This made him confused.

He didn't read the story of this world until the end, after all, so he didn't understand why Claudia fell for the protagonist.

Yet, now, she fell for him.

Frankly, he wanted to check whether the protagonist existed on the Asterisk, so he quickly texted his people to check whether Amagami Ayato, the protagonist of this world, was on the Asterisk or not.

Still, for one thing, he was glad that she fell for him since he got a reward from the system, yet it also confused him about how he could get a reward just for making a woman fall.

So, he didn't need to sleep with them, kiss them, or have a special relationship with them?

<The feeling of falling in love is a unique feeling. It is special. As the one being fallen to, you can treat this love as you wish. Whether you want to treat it sincerely, make her into the happiest girl in the world, or make her your happiest toilet>

What the hell was the happiest toilet?

His lips twitched, and he thought that the system was really a beast!

However, he knew that love was blind.

Sometimes being mistreated would make the person fall in love to feel happier.

Yet, while Claudia had fallen for him, the feeling of love was too far from him when a threat of death was in front of him. Frankly, he could just run away and stay in this world, avoiding Nura Rikuo and all the heavenly beings that supported him secretly, but how could he abandon all of his followers?

He had made his determination to fight heaven.

So, the most important thing for him was to get stronger.

'But, "Immunity," huh?'

His reward was so simple.

It had nothing else.

However, he could tell that a seed was planted into his body. This seed could grow into a big tree with several branches.

As of now, it was only just an "Immunity," but as he trained it harder, it would become stronger since it would immune him from diseases, elements, concepts, and many others.

"Say, Dirk has told me to invite you to Le Wolfe."

When they finished the dinner and spent their time in the living room, Irene couldn't help but say helplessly.

"Le Wolfe, huh? Don't you say that it is far from a good school?" He looked at her with a teasing smile.

"I, um..."

"Why don't you say the real reason?"

Irene's face was burning red, and she wanted to bury herself in the hole from the embarrassment, but she still said the words which she kept in her heart.

"I... I want you to go to the same school as me..."

"You're so cute."

He kissed her cheek and hugged her.

"Bastard!" As she let out an incompetent roar, she wanted to break away from him, feeling embarrassed, but her struggle was meaningless since when she was in his arms, her power was drained from her body.

He thought that this wild cat was adorable.

"But I won't join your school, though."

"...."

"BASTARD, DO YOU LIKE TO PLAY WITH ME SO MUCH?!" She was so furious at that moment.

"You are important to me, but it is also important for me to get stronger."

Frankly, Irene's importance wasn't that high on his heart since their meeting wasn't long, but he couldn't say that since it would hurt her heart. However, his purpose from the beginning was to get a reward, so he knew he would hurt her sooner or later. Because of that, he wanted to compensate her.

He might not be able to compensate her with a feeling, but it was possible for him to do it with money.

In the original, the protagonist also helped her, but his help was nothing but just useless words since, in the end, the protagonist was unable to erase the trouble of Urzaiz's sisters, which was an enormous debt that they shouldered. Even worse, the protagonist also destroys Irene's weapon, causing her to lose a lot of her strength and making her unable to get an income.

Yet, this wasn't the end since the protagonist left the two sisters like nothing before he continued his adventure and met new heroines.

Frankly, this protagonist was irresponsible, but he couldn't say much since he wasn't much better, considering his purpose wasn't all holy.

Irene was tongue-tied and couldn't say anything. She knew this, but it still stung her when she knew that he wasn't her number one.

"Let me talk with your president."

"Um."

She was obedient somehow. She might not have realized it, but she was trained by him.

"Is it Inugamigyoubu Tamazuki?"

The phone was connected, and a darkened air window appeared from Irene's mobile device.

"Oh? You can tell that I am the one who asked her to call you?" Tamazuki smiled and thought that Dirk was as smart as ever.

Le Wolfe was a unique school since the strong would get everything, yet Dirk could become the student council because he was devious and intelligent. More importantly, this person wasn't even a Genestellar, showing he was definitely someone with a skill.

"Have you made your decision to join Le Wolfe?"

"What can you give me?"

The two weren't the type who loved to waste their time, so they went straight to the point.

"Whatever you want."

"What can you offer?"

"Money, best teachers, best facilities, and anything you want. As long as it is within my capability, then I can give you everything."

"I want to become stronger, though, and do you think that I lack money?"

Naturally, Dirk investigated Tamazuki, and he knew this guy's money was probably more than him probably. "So, what do you want? Do you want me to let the princess of Jie Long teach you?"

"Is that possible?" He asked curiously.

"....." Dirk.

"How about Orga Lux?"

"We have them, of course. Your girlfriend also has one, right? Have you seen Gravisheath?"

"I have played with it before. Do you have more? I can't steal it from Irene, right?"

"........" Dirk.

Yes, Tamazuki had beaten up Gravisheath.

Gravisheath was an Orga Lux, which was wielded by Irene. It had the ability to control gravity, but the price was rather heavy since it consumed a lot of her Prana, and it also toyed with her life, which made him angry.

While it might be strange, this weapon had a certain consciousness, and the personality of this weapon was rather bad, so he just used his "possession" ability to possess this weapon and beat it hard. He also injected his poison-filled energy onto it, causing it to shriek in horror.

As of now, it had become an obedient weapon under Irene's hands, which made her feel rather conflicted since it had become so docile that she felt sorry for it.

Yet, this was surprising since it was impossible for two people to wield a similar Orga-Lux.

However, he was able to do it.

Yet, he was an exception since he had the ability to possess something, so he could talk or just force something which had sentient, like Irene's weapon, to become obedient to him.

"...besides that, we have Wole-Zain." Dirk recovered after a moment of shock.

"Wole-Zain?"

"It is one of the Four Colored Magic Swords. It has the ability to control space. If you have compatibility with it, then just use it."

"Space, really?" He was interested.

"Yes."

"Let me think about it. I will make my decision after I win the Jie Long tournament."

"Then, I will wait for your joke." Dirk's voice was full of sarcasm.

"Haha... you have a good sense of humor, Dirk." Tamazuki laughed.

"....." Dirk.

Still, the following words from Tamazuki's words stunned all of them.

"Maybe, we can become friends, Dirk."

"..." Irene

Priscilla, who had just finished taking a bath, was also stunned.

Being friends with Dirk?

They couldn't imagine it!

"Idiot."

"Dirk..." Tamazuki had goosebumps. "Tsundere is cute when done by a cute girl, but if it's you..."

Dirk said no more and just hung up the call.

"...do you think that guy is tsundere?" Irene asked with a weird expression.

"Probably, but it has nothing to do with me. I am going to take a bath first."

Watching him so relaxed, they also felt relaxed, yet they didn't know that he had become the enemy of the entire Asterisk, and all of them wanted to see his joke now.
