Tanuki Rise of the Yokai Clan

Chapter 147: Calm down, okay?



Chapter 147: Calm down, okay?

On the night with a bright moon in the sky.

Several bloodthirsty monsters gazed over the small goblins' village in the distance.

Direwolf.

It was their identity.

All of them had enormous bodies, showing their ferociousness, yet their eyes were clear as they had intelligence.

This group of fierce wolf monsters was led by a single leader.

Their alpha.

With the disappearance of Veldora, the forest was free. It was without an owner, so it was their time to dominate this forest.

Yes, it was a time for their glory, and their first target was the goblin's village in front of them.

Yet, they didn't know that it was the beginning of their demise.

"Such a good moonlight. Tonight, we will exterminate that goblin village as the first step of our conquest of the Great Jura Forest."

"AWOOOOOO!!!"

All of them howled, showing the mighty strength of the Direwolf.

The battle was near.

The goblins had made the best preparation they could.

With the help of Tamazuki and Rimuru, everything was easy.

Nevertheless, staring at the wooden fence in front of him, Tamazuki sighed and thought this village was miserable. Frankly, he thought that it was better for him to go to the city since he could make money and do business there. He could also learn various skills from various people, and with his shapeshifter ability, it was impossible to tell that he was a monster.

With that being said, he saw many skills that had been shown by Rimuru and thought that they were quite okay, especially the thread manipulation. It was a good ability.

"Tamazuki-kun, Tamazuki-kun."

"What's wrong, Uncle?"

When everyone was nervous about their inevitable battle against the Direwolf tribe, Rimuru brought Tamazuki to the side, seemingly wanting to ask something.

Still, Rimuru hesitated.

"You want to ask about my skills?"

"Ah...! But you don't need to tell me if it's a secret." Rimuru knew that skill was an important thing, and it was better to keep it quiet instead of telling someone.

"I don't mind, though, since my skills are rather simple."

"Really?"

"Yeah, but can you tell me about your skills too?"

"Sure."

The two had a good trust, or rather, as two humans, who were reincarnated into a monster, their relationship might be the closest as they were the only ones that understood each other feelings.

Dilemma, complexity, difficulty, and many other things.

After all, once again, how could they accept the fact that they had become a monster so easily?

Yet, for Tamazuki, many years had passed, so he could accept and be proud of his origin.

Similarly, Rimuru was the same, but unlike Tamazuki, he still had his humanity left, and he wanted to get closer to a human.

"Well, my Intrinsic Skills are similar to the legend of Tanuki. You know that Tanuki can transform a leaf into money, right? In my case, I can transform it into anything. Like this."

Tamazuki transformed his leaf into various weapons.

"...."

Rimuru tried not to be jealous, but he really couldn't help but feel jealous since wasn't his ability of Tanuki too versatile? This guy was practically living in a department store! Nevertheless, he was glad that he could be with Tamazuki. Still, when he thought about the legend of Tanuki...

"...by the way."

"Hmm?"

"Can you use "that" as a weapon?"

"That?"

"...balls."

"Well, I can fight with my balls, but as expected, I don't want to."

"Well, that's true." If Rimuru had genitals, he would definitely not use his balls as a weapon. "...can-can you make it bigger like in the legend?"

"...I can, though, but what kind of question weird question can you ask me, Uncle?" Tamazuki was speechless.

Still hearing his answer, Rimuru was shocked, then asked again. "Then... that part too... can you make it as big as you want?"

"Well..."

Dammit!

Rimuru was envious of Tamazuki to death!

Rimuru felt that he would have tears of death as he didn't have that part.

"How about the other things? Such a Unique Skill? Do you have it?"

"Do you have it too, Uncle?"

"Yeah. It seems that it is the advantage of being someone from another world."

"That's true."

The two had known each other about their Intrinsic Skills, or their ability which only appeared for their race.

In Rimuru's case, he had [Dissolve], [Absorption], and [Regeneration] as his Intrinsic Skills.

However, as someone who was reincarnated into this world, they would receive another skill, which was Unique Skills.

"My skill is simple. There are only two: learning and immunity. One gives me the ability to learn faster, and the other gives me various immunity."

"It's simple but powerful." Rimuru nodded and wondered whether [Immunity] was the reason why he couldn't name Tamazuki. Nevertheless, he explained his Unique Skills to Tamazuki. "In my case, I have [Great Sage] and [Predator]."

Frankly, the explanation of Rimuru's Unique Skills was rather long, as his Unique Skills had various abilities.

Rimuru's first ability was [Great Sage], which gave him several sub-abilities such as: [Thought Acceleration], [Analytical Appraisal], [Chant Annulment], and [All of Creation].

If Tamazuki made it simple, then this was like an AI planted on his head, and because he had learned this skill, he could learn even faster. It was a great ability, without a doubt, and he knew that he had become stronger with just this.

Meanwhile, Rimuru's second ability was that Tamazuki loved the most since this skill gave him several sub-abilities such as: [Predation], [Analysis], [Stomach], [Mimicry], and [Isolation].

The one that he loved the most was [Predation], which made him able to absorb his target into his body, consuming them and turning them into his power, whether it was physical ability, amount of energy, and also various skills which they owned, all of them would be consumed and turned into his, which was awesome.

The second was, without a doubt, [Stomach], as it allowed him to store anything on his stomach, which meant he had space storage now, and he didn't need to worry about keeping his things anymore.

As for the others, except for [Analysis], he wouldn't use them that much.

Nevertheless, there was one difference in their skills, and it was on the [Analysis] as Rimuru could only use it when he used his [Predation].

Meanwhile, Tamazuki could use it with his own eyes.

Maybe, it was because of his [Previllage] ability?

Either way, his visit to this world was good enough with just those skills alone, but before he went to another world, he needed to complete two of his goals first.

His first goal was, without a doubt, to get the heroine from this world.

The second goal was to become a Demon Lord.

As he knew some of the plots, he had an idea of how to become a Demon Lord, and with [Great Sage], his success would be even greater.

Nevertheless, the battle had started as the Direwolf tribe came in front of the goblin village, intending to crush all of them.

"Tamazuki-sama, please stay here."

"You don't need to dirty your paws with those worms, Tamazuki-sama."

"Tamazuki-sama, please use me as your chair."

".........."

Was it his imagination, but why did he feel like he was being pampered?

Still, he didn't do anything as Rimuru faced everything bravely on his own. Then, with the alpha Direwolf dying, Rimuru used [Predation] on the alpha to make all of the Direwolves give up, but in the end, all the Direwolves decided to follow Rimuru.

Watching all of this, Tamazuki smiled and thought that Rimuru was a good protagonist; at least, Rimuru wouldn't become his love rival, right?

---

All the goblins in the villages and Direwolves stared at the two figures before them.

Rimuru aside, Tamazuki was probably the one that attracted them the most.

While Rimuru was the one that had saved them and showed a mighty strength that they could only dream of, they could tell that Tamazuki was special. It was like they saw a god descended from heaven to save them, the helpless mortals.

Even the Direwolves were so obedient when they saw Tamazuki while thinking how blind they were thinking to provoke him.

"Is it me, or do they keep looking at you with reverence?" Rimuru asked in doubt.

"It's just your imagination, Uncle." Tamazuki looked at Rimuru and asked in boredom, "So what do you plan to do after this, Uncle?"

"I think I will name all of them."

"Eh?!"

Everyone reacted strongly, but Tamazuki didn't say anything since he wanted to see the naming process. According to the setting, when one gave a name to another, it would reduce their "Magicules," but unlike him, Rimuru had Veldora inside him, so everything should be alright, right?

Still, when he said that, he also had "Hole," so should it be okay for him to give a name too?

However, he refrained from doing so because he didn't want to name a goblin for his first.

While the chief was quite surprised and worried, considering the effect of naming, Rimuru had made up his mind, and it was impossible to change his mind.

Rimuru kept naming all the monsters without missing a single one, and in the end, he felt sleepy as if something was cut from him.

Everyone was panicked, and they quickly approached Rimuru worriedly, but a powerful aura stopped them in a place.

A cute, white dog had turned into an 18-meter ferocious dog-like monster.

His aura was so overwhelming, and just standing nearby might make them scared to death.

"Calm down, okay?"

"...."

*Gulp!*

Scary!
