Tanuki Rise of the Yokai Clan

Chapter 33: Colorful World

While the festival was fun, it was only held for one day.

After one day, everything returned to how it used to be, and all of them also returned to their homes. Not all the youkai he conquered came from Shikoku, and many lived in different areas such as Yamanashi, Chubu, Kyushu, etc. All of them might want to continue their party, but when they heard that they were going to go to Tokyo, they changed their gears and prepared for another battle. This time, their battle would be different since this battle would be against the Nura Clan, so they had to go all out.

Meanwhile, Tamazuki was in his room, checking his system since the sudden announcement that night startled him. However, while this system was important, he didn't show eagerness since the existence of a system was a secret, and he didn't want to tell anyone since many things might happen, especially when he was still weak.

Yes, he was weak.

While he might be the most powerful youkai among his group and even with Nurarihyon, or Hagorome Gitsune, he believed that he would win.

However, he didn't think that he could win against Nura Rikuo or Abe no Seimei.

Abe no Seimei aside since his power was indomitable, Nura Rikuo had the power of protagonist, plot armor, family, and friendship.

Leaving Abe no Seimei, who he might follow or not, he knew that he had to face Nura Rikuo first, but he knew that his power wasn't enough; at least, he knew that it was impossible to completely erase Nura Rikuo's threat when they had a war. More importantly, the existence above heaven, he knew he had to deal with it if he wanted to deal with Nura Rikuo. Frankly, he didn't want to change the plot since if he changed it carelessly, Nura Rikuo might do something unexpected or bring his people under his banner.

However, to be honest, even if all of the Shikoku Youkai was destroyed or fell under Nura Rikuo's hands, it didn't matter to him. Even if he lost everything, wealth, authority, and more, it didn't matter since he could build it again. He could build everything in less than a decade, so he should be able to do the same in case it was destroyed.

What he cared about the most was power, a power that was enough to control his fate.

He didn't want to be controlled anymore, which was why when he was inside his room, he quietly learned about his system.

<Do you want to go to another world?>

"..."

What should I say?

It felt like he was being invited to watch a new movie by his friend, which made him a little speechless.

However, of course, he wanted to!

<Right?>

"...."

<As a harem king, how can you be limited by this world alone? You have to go to another world to meet different girls and conquer them, making them into your harem>

"........"

'But... girls from a different world, huh?'

Instead of the girls, he was more interested in the power which he could get from another world. Unlike in his world, in which everything was determined by pedigree, the power of his parents. Therefore, it wouldn't be weird to say that this was a world of fatalism.

Still, he had questions.

Like how did the time work when he went to another world? If he stayed in another world for a day, then did it mean he was gone for a day in the original world?

<When you go to another world, the world will be slowed down by ten times. For example, when you are in another world for ten days, the people in this world will only think that you have gone for a day>

'Interesting.'

<So, do you want to go to another world and meet a lot more heroines?>

Heroines? Was that meant the other world would be similar to his world? A world where everything revolved around the protagonist? The world where all the heroines would go after the protagonist even though the protagonist didn't do anything? However, this time, the system didn't say anything and just gave him a choice of "yes or no," as if telling him he could go to another world anytime.

From this silence, he could tell that the world he would visit would be similar to his world, making him speechless. This was why it was better not to rely on the system. Instead, he thought that he should think of this as a way for him to steal the opportunity or chance given by the world to make the protagonist stronger.

While he wasn't sure what kind of world he would be gone, it was his only chance if he wanted to escape his fate. He didn't hesitate, but he didn't immediately leave. Instead, he prepared everything and also told his parents and followers that he was going to train. He also gave them instructions, telling them that they could start to go to Tokyo, absorbing all the youkai under the banner of the Shikoku Youkai, but he told them that they didn't need to attack the Nura Clan immediately. However, they should provoke them from time to time by stealing their business, spreading rumors, and many other things to harass the Nura Clan.

This fight... no matter what, they couldn't be the ones who took the initiative. Instead, they should let the Nura Clan take the initiative to take the war.

While they were confused by his instruction, they agreed, and they thought it was fun to bully the Nura Clan.

Even if he was amiable and loved, everyone hadn't forgotten how cruel he was, so his instructions were followed, and no one dared to break his instruction.

"Where are you going, Tamazuki-sama?" Yosuzume asked after she helped him to prepare his luggage. His luggage was rather minimal since he only brought a "Maou's Hammer" with him. As for clothes, money, and the rest, he didn't bring any of them to this training since he could make them with his transmutation ability.

"It's a secret. Of course, I am not going to run away. What's with your expression?"

"No, but..." Yosuzume would be lying if she didn't feel nervous about this war, especially when she thought about their conversation a few years ago. Their opponent was the agent of heaven. Even if they won, then heaven...

"Isn't that why I'm going to train? Anyway, wait for me. I will leave first."

He kissed her and left without hesitation.

Watching him leave, Yosuzume touched her lips in a complicated mood, and only she knew what she was thinking.

As he left his house and went to the place where no one could see, he didn't hesitate and pressed "yes," which made him leave this world and go to another world. The process was unbearable, and he felt like his body was pressed by a certain force, causing him to feel dizzy like he was inside a washing machine, but then, when he opened his eyes, he could tell that he was already in another world.

How could he tell this?

Even though the world didn't seem different, he could tell the air was rich. It was like it was filled with an "energy," which made him even stronger for some reason.

"What a unique world..."

He couldn't help but murmur, but he knew nothing about this world, and the system didn't say anything except...

<Welcome to another world! You can go back anytime you want to your original world anytime, but if you are able to make a harem in this world, then you will be able to go to a different world than this world and your original world>

<So do your best and make a harem since your world will be colorful from now on>

As his lips twitched, he let out a helpless sigh and prepared for his invasion of this world.
