Tanuki Rise of the Yokai Clan

Chapter 9: We almost conquer humanity

"Huh..."

He exhaled air from his lungs, feeling his body was alive and his strength had become stronger.

His body was covered with sweat, causing his well-built eight-packs of the body to glisten, trying to tempt any females who saw him.

He was dressed in a black gi (martial art uniform in Japan) with a black belt around his waist.

Then, in a moment, he inhaled oxygen into his lungs and did a series of pattern movements.

When he first moved straight forward, the air trembled.

When his feet stomped the ground, the ground cracked and created a web-like fissure.

His movement was smooth and full of power as if he had done this set of movements thousands of times.

If someone saw him, they would be dumbfounded since it would be their first time to see a child who could practice martial arts to such a certain degree. His black belt on his waist definitely wasn't just a show, and he had become a master of this martial art.

Yet even if his face was as calm as a lake, his heart sighed since he could not reach the state he was looking for.

However, he didn't give up and kept repeating this set of practices for an hour before he stopped.

"Tamazuki-sama, here is your towel."

He looked at Hari Onna, who served him with an excited smile with a depressed sigh. He removed the upper parts of the uniform before he rubbed his sweaty face with a towel. He also wiped his body up while ignoring the heavy breathing he could hear in the background.

'It's been six years, huh?'

He looked at the bright sky and the poop-like shape of clouds, feeling slightly depressed.

When he became a boy and had his first wet dream, his system activated for the first time. Yet he was so sad since no heroines could trigger his system in the Shikoku.

As for Hari Onna right next to him, even though she was one of the female characters in the story and his original subordinate, she couldn't trigger his system.

However, he wasn't surprised.

Hari Onna, after all, wasn't a good-looking youkai. She had a pale face, as if she had put several thick layers of powder on her face and dense black hair like seaweed. She might have the potential to become strong and was also his loyal subordinate, but it was impossible for her to become his woman.

He knew he was being cruel for saying this, but Hari Onna wasn't his type or the system.

Still, he knew what was important for a woman was to have a beautiful heart, but if he could get a woman with a beautiful appearance and heart, why shouldn't he? It had only been six years since that day when many youkai decided to follow him to become his Hyakki Yakkou. In other words, he was just a sixth grader in elementary school.

While he wasn't interested in Hari Onna, her interest in him reached 120 percent.

Fortunately, Hari Onna wasn't Hachishakusama, or else, he might have been gobbled down.

Still, during these six years, many things changed, and under his leadership, it was only a time before the position of the Shikoku Hachijuuhakki Yakou was taken by him.

The weak youkai had been all taken down by him, and they had followed him.

His brothers were also restless, and they were on their last struggle since the majority of youkai in the Shikoku started to follow him.

However, they couldn't be blamed since it was easy for someone to see who was more capable among them.

Under his leadership, he used the advantage of each of the youkai under his leadership to do various tasks, and the first thing he asked them to do was to gather money and control the Shikoku.

In other words, he was going to make a Shinkoku youkai consortium, which was led by him.

Oh, a consortium was called Zaibatsu in this country.

There were many industries under his groups, such as banking, food, brewery, pharmaceutical, steel, transportation, real estate, paper, forestry, publishing, media, chemical, insurance, mining, construction, shipping, rare metals, construction, heavy industries, light industries, electronics, energy, software, internet, and many others.

While it was still hard to say he was the richest since there were many hidden rich people or supernatural beings in this world, he could confidently say that he could buy a liberty statue and transform it into a tanuki statue, spreading their myth further.

Many might have doubts about how he was able to gather so much wealth in just six years.

If he was a human, it would be impossible.

However, he was a youkai, and he used a youkai to gather that wealth.

His way of gathering wealth couldn't be said well.

It could be said he was borderline evil, but it was only in the eyes of humans.

After all, he used to curse, hypnosis, force, and even assassinate many people, so he could become even richer and control this world.

Yet, in the eyes of all the youkai, he was a hero who was able to control a human with just his wit.

Still, knowing all of that, he knew that many people wondered how he could do all of that.

However, his answer was simple, and it was because he was a youkai. He wasn't a human anymore and had to side with his race instead of the stupid human. It might sound heartless, but when he became a youkai, especially a villain character, he didn't have pity toward the human.

In his eyes, a human was nothing but a slave.

Was he wrong? Not really.

After all, there were many humans who were even worse than him. He was also much better than those capitalists.

Some people might say he was unfair since, as a youkai, he had an advantage, such as a unique, innate ability of youkai.

However, this is how life is, right?

It is unfair.

If he had to say, he was like someone who knew he had talent at running and trained from childhood to become a runner. If a human would use their talent to their advantage, why shouldn't they use it too?

After all, among his underlings, there were many youkai who were good at business.

Tanuki, his race, was also a youkai that had talent over a business. They were the first youkai who proposed a money-lending business. In other words, they might be the first race that proposed the creation of banks in this country.

Yet they didn't take advantage of it and stayed away from the human world.

However, he felt they were wasteful for doing so since if they could do it, then why not?

'Fortunately, I am success...'

"Tamazuki-sama, aren't your karate strong enough? Why do you have to train again? Even Tearai Oni isn't your opponent in terms of strength now," Hari Onna said softly. She felt Tamazuki was already strong enough and he was already the leader of the Shikoku Hachijuuhakki Yakou. It might not be official, but this was what everything was thinking.

After all, under his leadership, he could bring the Shikoku youkai to their Golden Age.

With the money they had gathered, it was possible to buy a small country if he wanted to.

His strength was also amazing since he had reached the S rank of youkai in just six years.

Besides his father, no one was his opponent, but this was a normal thing since it was an advantage brought about by his reincarnation.

While karate that he learned before might make everyone doubt him since they were looking down on a human when they saw how powerful he had become with it, they realized how amazing human martial art was.

Through his diligence and talent, he had already become a karate master.

"No, it's not enough. I haven't defeated my father after all. Unless I have defeated my father, there will be a voice of resistance in our group. I only need one voice in our Shikoku Hachijuuhakki Yakou, and that is my voice!"

He stood at the edge of the Tsurugi mountain, watching the distant scenery. He had a lot of money and controlled most of the governors in Shikoku. Naturally, making the tallest mountain on Shikoku Island to be off-limits and couldn't be visited by humans was an easy thing to do for him. He also made this place his living place since the aura of nature made him get stronger faster.

"Tamazuki-sama..." Hari Onna was already flushed red and filled with excitement.

"..."

He sighed and ignored Hari Onna.

Frankly, it was only a time before he controlled the Shikoku, and with his money, it was possible to buy Matsuyama Castle, the castle his father failed to rob. However, even if his conquer was smooth, he was troubled by the Onmyouji, that often tried to attack them.

'Well, it's not like they're going to get serious.'

As long as he didn't attack the most populated cities, such as Kyoto or Tokyo, he would be alright. It was also the reason why he only let his group do business in a low-key manner. He also told his subordinates to let a human instead of a youkai manage the business.

Still, everything was so smooth because they all disguised themselves as humans.

However, if those humans in their companies, especially the ones with the important position, knew about their identities, it would be troublesome.

Even though it was said that humans dared to sell their souls to the devil, if they were given a chance, especially in front of a huge profit, no one could tell what they would do. They might be able to work together with a group of Onmyouji or another youkai group to rob his wealth.

He knew he was paranoid, but being careful instead of sorry was better.

After all, greed has no bounds.

Humans could do anything if they were given a chance.

Moreover, who wanted to be controlled by a youkai?

Still, if someone dared to betray him, he would show them the horror of youkai.

Ah, he might not even need to show the horror of youkai since his horror as a capitalist was enough to scare the majority of humanity in this world.

However, suddenly he let out a helpless sigh since he was only an elementary school student, yet he had to work hard, which made him wonder when he could play around.

'Well, let's just work hard to become stronger.'

As a youkai, his strength was the most important thing, and he could leave all the business matters to his subordinates. His subordinates were loyal to him, and he didn't think they would betray him since the price of betraying him was huge.

He shook his head and asked, "Is the bathroom ready?"

"Yes." Hari Onna nodded and asked, "But are you planning to go out, Tamazuki-sama?" She saw the maids in his house, preparing his luggage to go out, so she thought he would go somewhere.

"Where? We're going to Tokyo."

He stood at the edge of the mountain, and suddenly an intense wind blew everything away. However, he ignored it and walked toward his house.

Meanwhile, Hari Onna looked at the helicopter slowly parked on the helipad near his house, thinking it was only a time before he controlled this world. She then showed a bright smile and quickly followed him. "What are we doing in Tokyo, Tamazuki-sama? Is it another business?"

"What are we doing?"

He had enough training and business, so there was only one thing that he had to do.

"We are going to have a vacation!"
