Tanuki Rise of the Yokai Clan
Chapter 85: Kirin: "My teacher is stolen!"

The moment he saw Julis appear before him and take the initiative to talk with him, he knew that his target had taken the bait. However, he couldn't show excitement. As a hunter, he had to be calm and silent without startling his target, so she wouldn't escape from his grasp.

"Who are you?"

"...."

Kirin was speechless, but Julis was even more speechless.

Who is Julis?

She is a princess!

Even if she was a student like everyone else, her status made her more radiant than everyone else. Her fair, ardent, yet rebellious appearance attracted both genders to take a second glance. Her slender, gorgeous legs, which were sculpted to perfection. Yet, out of all, her status as a princess was something that made any man want to conquer her. Even if her curves were slightly disappointing, without a doubt, she was a charming girl.

In the original, without a doubt, the protagonist was fascinated by this princess, yet as expected of the protagonist, even if this process had declared her love for him, he was unable to give an answer and hung the feelings of all the women who fell for him.

Yet, such a mistake was unforgivable, and it definitely wouldn't happen to him since he came to this world to make a harem—to make himself as strong as possible.

<Get her!>

"..."

Tamazuki thought that the system was the same as ever, but he also understood its excitement.

In the original world, the system could only work twice, and one of them was even incomplete, especially when almost all the heroines in his world had already been infatuated with the protagonist, but in this world, everything was clear, which was why this world was the best.

Still, Julis, who heard Tamazuki's question, felt quite complex. While she felt refreshed for not being able to tell who she was, considering how famous she was, she also felt annoyed since it had just been a few days since their last duel, yet this guy told her that he had forgotten about her?!

Endure. Endure. Endure.

However, she endured it and introduced herself. "My name is Julis Riessfeld. Did you forget that we had a duel a few days ago?" As for her status as a princess, she didn't tell him since she was nothing more than a princess of a mere puppet kingdom, and flaunting her status, so she could gain more respect from others was something that she hated the most.

"Now that you mention it, you are kind of familiar." He thought for a moment before he quickly realized who he was. "Oh, right! You were the one that was being targeted by someone, right? I remember you being attacked by someone before."

"...yes. That one."

While Julis was speechless by how she was being remembered since she was definitely not being targeted by people all the time, it didn't matter since he remembered her.

"Thank you for saving me."

However, the fact that he had saved her didn't change, and she felt grateful to him because of that.

"So, how is it? Have you found the culprit?"

"Not yet, but it doesn't matter since only a coward attacked me like that. This person must be weaker than me since they could only make a sneak attack like a coward."

For those who attacked her at that time, she could only put disdain toward them since they were just a coward in her eyes, and she wasn't afraid of them.

Hearing those words, he really had his face facing this princess. "Then, do you have any idea who this person is?"

"No, I don't have a single clue about my attacker." Julis shook her head. "But I am not here to talk about this with you here. I want to talk with you about something?"

"You want to talk with me about something?"

Are we familiar?

He seemed so surprised, but Kirin was even more surprised before several plots where two opponents who hated each other suddenly became lovers appeared in her head.

"....."

He wasn't sure what his disciple was thinking, but he knew that her head was full of messy things.

Julis could see the surprise of the two, and it made her even more embarrassed since she knew this was something that she definitely wouldn't do. It was her first time doing this, and as expected, it was so uncomfortable, especially when she had never done this before. He was her first man.

While the wording was kind of strange, he was really the first man that she had taken the initiative to talk with.

As for the protagonist? Every initiative was taken by the protagonist, and he even proactively approached her, yet in the end, the only way for him to be truly accepted by her was to help her when she was attacked by the one who had sneak attacked her before.

In other words, it was neither his wittiness, charisma, personality or even strength. Instead, everything was because of the protagonist's halo, putting Julis in crisis and giving the protagonist a chance to enter her heart.

Still, for now, Tamazuki needed to pay attention to this brave girl first. Yet, he had to say watching a girl feeling embarrassed in public was kind of fun somehow. He wanted to see more of her embarrassed state, but he couldn't be in a hurry since the time was long, and with how their current relationship, if he played her too much, she might get away.

While Julis struggled to find words, asking him why she should follow her, he nodded.

"Sure."

"Eh?"

Julis was surprised. "...are-are you sure?"

He chuckled. "What are you hesitating for? Aren't you here to talk with me? Getting embarrassed, aren't we? Aren't you cute, princess?"

"...."

Julis couldn't say anything, and her face was so red. If it was someone else, she would definitely get angry and scold someone who teased her to hide her embarrassment since this is how her personality was described.

Tsundere.

While it was disgusting to see Dirk with a tsundere character, Julis was cute.

"Moreover, this must be your first time approaching someone like this, right?"

"Ho-How did you know?!" Julis couldn't hide her shock.

"It's all written on your face." He stood up and patted her head gently. He didn't have a hobby of doing a head pat since he had never done a head pat to Yosuzume, but since his disciple was so sticky and often asked him for a reward, this habit of patting a girl's head must stick on him.

"You have done your best. After all, doing something you aren't used to isn't easy, so isn't it cruel and rude of me not to listen to you or at least spare my little time for you?"

"....."

What is this?

What is this gentleness?

She had prepared that he would reject her and even looked at her disdain since she knew the impression she gave him definitely wasn't good. When he asked her for a duel before, she rejected him in a rude manner, and she also thought of him as annoying since he thought of her as a coward. Yet, the fact was otherwise. Under that cold demeanor that thought he was above everyone, he was so warm that she almost couldn't extricate herself from him.

Still, she was a bit embarrassed for being patted by him, even if it felt nice.

However, Kirin stared at this scene with an uncomfortable gaze since she thought her teacher was stolen from her. It was different from Claudia since Claudia first came, but Julis came later, and it made her a bit unhappy that the attention of his teacher, which should be hers, was stolen from her.

Also, shouldn't that head pat be exclusively for her?

"So, do you want to talk here?"

Fortunately, he retracted her hand, which relieved her, yet also made her a bit disappointed.

"Um, if possible, can we talk somewhere else? In a quiet place."

"If that's what you wish, but I am not that familiar with this place, so I hope that you can be the one who leads."

"Then, please follow me." Julis nodded in understanding.

"Kirin, you don't need to wait for me. You can go back to your class."

"Ah, um, yes, Sensei..."

Watching him leave with Julis, Kirin felt that her heart was vexed, but what could she do?

There was only one answer!
