Nurarihyon: "Give me a face!"

It wasn't that they couldn't say anything, but a series of accusations dumbfounded them.

Yet, unlike the previous one, the scale of this accusation was on a different level.

War?

Shikoku Youkai?

"Enough!"

Unlike the others, who were still dizzy, the heroine, Yuki-Onna, in the Nura Clan, Tsurara Oikawa, couldn't control her emotion anymore.

Tamazuki merely glanced at her, but he had to say she was beautiful.

She had long hair colored a mix of black, blue, and white with two wavy black horizontal lines along one side of her head. Her eyes are large and amber, with multiple rings inside them.

Her features were unique, and along with a furisode with a snowflake pattern along the hem and the bottom of the sleeves, which she currently wears, she could be described as the traditional beauty of the country.

More importantly, she was a youkai, which meant she was much older than she seemed.

He wasn't sure her age, but for one thing, she was older than him.

With that said, he knew that it was impossible for him to do anything to this woman since the head of this woman was full of the protagonist, and it would take almost a millennium to change her feelings since that was how the setting was.

"Why you have been thinking bad about the young master! Young Master has never done any of that!"

Tsurara was furious since, from the beginning to the end, Tamazuki had been slandering her young master. She knew how gentle and kind her young master was, so how could her young master try to harm the group of children and also try to wage war against the Shikikou Clan?

It was impossible!

"Isn't it obvious? It's because you have attacked me."

"....."

His reason was so simple that they couldn't say anything.

"Wage war against the Shikoku Youkai? Your tone is so big, but who are you? Can you even represent the Shikoku Youkai?"

One youkai with a head floating above his shoulders and had no neck asked with a frown.

"My name is Inugamigyoubu Tamazuki. I am the son of Inugamigyoubu Danuki, the leader of Shikoku Youkai. You have attacked me. Then, don't you think that I should receive a reasonable explanation?"

"?!"

Some of them were dumbfounded, but they also somehow understood why he seemed so special since he was the descendant of the strongest tanuki.

Yet...

"Just go home, you little Tanuki. Our mood isn't good now. As for Shikoku Youkai, how can a hick Youkai compare to our Nura Clan! If you go back now, we will forgive you."

Even if he was the son of Inugamigyoubu Danuki, so what?

For them, the Nura Clan had always been the best!

Their group, which was led by Nurarihyon, had always been the best youkai group in this country!

Moreover, Tamazuki was alone.

They came here with so many of them, so did he think he had an advantage over them?

More importantly, he was so young. No one thought that he was strong. While some of them had a good impression of him, their hearts were all for the Nura Clan. All of them had been in this clan for centuries and more. They had been quite understanding since even if Tamazuki killed the group of Gagoze in front of them, they didn't do anything, but this little boy dared to ask more.

If a mere little boy could bully their Nura Clan, then where would their name be?

As for Nura Rikuo, he had never said anything. For a human, he would do anything, but for a youkai, he didn't care much, including the youkai in his grandfather's group. Those who he cared about were that female youkai and his group.

His mood also wasn't good, and with his arrogant personality, how could he care about this small youkai? It definitely had nothing to do with the fact that he was a bit jealous that Kana was closer to him and Tamazuki was more handsome than him.

"It's you who should think twice whether you are ready to fight against the Nura Clan."

Rikuo, who had transformed into Nurarihyon, had this confident and brash nature. He was also proud of his origin and wouldn't let anyone tarnish it.

Hearing those words, the Youkai from the Nura Clan also stood straight, seemingly proud of their origin, and from their appearance, they were always ready for battle.

"Is this the answer of the Nura Clan?" Tamazuki asked calmly.

"Just go back to your home, little Tanuki!"

"Call your mama and papa here!"

"Yeah, go home!"

Many of them started to mock Tamazuki. With his introduction, they also knew his identity, so they also made fun of him.

Yet, this was a normal thing since, similar to his brother, who was reincarnated into a slime, which was known as the weakest monster in the RPG game, he was reincarnated as a tanuki, which was known as a jolly and mischievous creature.

"Fuuuuh!"

Even Tsurara also blew ice in his direction as if provoking him.

Tamazuki didn't say anything and just released his "Osore!"

It was as if a hammer had hit their heads. They could feel that his mere presence almost crushed them, especially those weak youkais who followed this half-assed Hyakki Yakkou parade.

Of course, those, who were strong, weren't crushed, but they had a cold sweat on their foreheads.

Yet, this wasn't the end.

"If this is the answer of the Nura Clan, then let's go to war."

As his voice fell, the world was filled with leaves.

There were so many leaves that made them unable to see their surroundings and isolated from everyone.

"Wh-what's happening?!"

"Rikuo-sama!"

While they were startled, they were worried about Rikuo.

Rikuo was also dumbfounded, and he was also a little intimidated by this technique since it overwhelmed him.

Yet, this wasn't the end.

"ARRGGGHH!"

"HE IS HERE!"

"HELP, I AM GOING TO GET KILLED!"

"RIKUO-SAMA, HELP!"

As the blizzard of leaves swallowed all of them, he killed all the youkais he found in the vicinity.

"STOP!"

Hearing the scream of his group, Rikuo couldn't control his emotion and let out a roar, telling Tamazuki to stop.

Yet, why should Tamazuki stop?

The war had started, and he wouldn't let any of them leave this place!

More importantly, he wanted to see whether a protagonist's halo really existed or not.

The screams of the youkai were heard, yet no one could do anything since the leaves were too much, which made them unable to see anything.

Tamazuki also received a reward, which made his mastery over his innate ability stronger. Frankly, he could do much more, but it seemed this how it was; the protagonist was still weak, so weak that he could crush him.

"No! No! Don't come closer!"

"Plea-please don't kill me!"

"Rikuo-sama, help me!"

As they were killed, they couldn't help but beg and kept screaming, asking for the help of Rikuo.

Yet, the strangest thing was that Rikuo and the other characters who showed up in the movie seemed able to escape his grasp. They might still be trapped, but they seemed to be able to be protected by something, which made him always go to those youkai who weren't related to the main group, making him speechless.

"STOP, YOU LOWLIFE!"

Suddenly, he felt danger from behind. Rikuo suddenly appeared from behind and struck down his katana into his back with all of his might.

"Haaaaah!"

Rikuo was ready to slay Tamazuki down!

Yet, just kidding!

How could Rikuo, who had just become a youkai, be his match?

Tamazuki had been trained for so many years to become stronger, so how could he lose against a mere beginner who knew nothing?

Even if the protagonist's halo made the protagonist become stronger, there was still a limit.

Unless Rikuo enters the training arc, he will be no match for him.

Then, soon, the leaves disappeared, and everyone sighed in relief, thinking that Rikuo, their young master, was able to solve the opponent.

However...

"L-look!"

With this voice, they saw something that they couldn't believe.

Rikuo's katana stopped in a place as the blade was caught by Tamazuki.

However, the way Tamazuki held Rikuo's katana was just too outrageous since he caught the blade with his thumb and index finger, holding it in a place as if it was held by a vise.

"Impossible!"

Rikuo was dumbfounded, but unlike the villains who loved to talk, Tamazuki had never talked in the fight.

He broke Rikuo's blade with his finger as he kicked Rikuo's stomach.

"Gaaahh!"

Rikuo felt his gut crushed, and he could feel that he had lost consciousness. Yet, even worse, he wasn't sent flying but stomped on the ground as he was held in a place.

Usually, this should be a time for the villain to talk, talking about how amazing he was and how weak the protagonist was, yet Tamazuki didn't do that.

His extended fingers were tightly compressed together as they formed into a spear hand before he thrust it into Rikuo's head, ready to kill him. He knew that many might say that he was wrong, but wasn't this guy the one who tried to kill him first?

"When someone tries to kill, they should be ready to be killed."

Rikuo could only hear those words as he watched this spear hand about to pierce into his skull.

"RIKUO-SAMA!!!"

Everyone was screaming in horror, but Tamazuki's movement suddenly stopped a millimeter before Rikuo's eyes.

Rikuo, who was ready to meet death, was stunned in a place and widened his eyes in horror, but Tamazuki ignored him since he noticed a sharp blade suddenly appear on his neck. Still, his expression was at ease and didn't change much.

"So the 1st generation of the Nura Clan tries to enter the fight between children?"

Tamazuki's words caused the face of the old Nurarihyon to twitch, but it didn't change the fact he was angry with Tamazuki for trying to kill his grandson. Yet, he also didn't want to cause a war between Nura Clan and the Shikoku Clan since he knew how many people were aiming for his group now, especially those Kyoto Youkai, who seemed to be quite restless.

Yet...

"Give this old man a face and leave."

"........"

Hearing those arrogant words, Tamazuki had to say Nurarihyon was disgusting.
